Editorial:
Thank you again for your continued support. We really appreciate hearing from you and knowing that you are reading and enjoying
Passport 2000+ ...
As I am late in sending this newsletter out, I wanted to add a
little about the tragedy in the US. Please try not to judge what
has happened. I am not saying what happened is right or wrong,
that is judgement. What happened has happened and judgement will
not assist the world in healing from this terrible tragedy. I have
been instructed by my higher guides that this is an important time
to send love out to the world and all its inhabitants. By sending
love, we can move forward from this tragedy and help to create a
better place to live in. Hate and anger will only create more hate
and anger and that will not help at all. That is why it is so
important to send love to heal the ugliness that we have
witnessed. May you all feel the joy of love in this terrible time.

The Affirm and Learn Enhancement Program is back at school in Kendall Elementary School in Washington
State!!! Ms. Marjie Nistad is teaching it to her brand new class or Grade 3 students this year.
The Affirm and Learn Enhancement Program is 1 year old this month
... Happy First Birthday to the Affirm and
Learn Enhancement Program.
My how you’ve grown!!
This anti-violence program is now in its second year. We are so excited to see how it is affecting the children in
such positive ways.
It is also back to school for children all over the country and I know many parents are happy. However, Parents
are becoming very aware and concerned about their children’s education, teasing and violence
in schools today. I am sure we all agree that teaching respect empathy, peace, self-esteem, cooperation, empathy, acceptance
and others topics at home avoid violence in the schools.

Up Coming Events:
Intuition and Reflections
Janice is now taking reservations for the September class.
It will begin September 24th, 2001 and run till October 29th, 2001
On Monday nights 7-9pm in North Vancouver.
The class is about learning to trust your intuition more and to
understand your life more through the use of reflections. Trusting
our intuition assists us in our day to day lives in making
decisions. It helps us to know when we are going in the right
direction for ourselves. I have been spending more time this last
class in helping to understand one's reflections. I find that this
is a very good way to help my students make the changes they want
to in their lives. If you want less stress in your life and
more joy, then this is the class for you. Janice believes learning should be fun, so prepare to laugh.
If you want to have more joy, call Janice at (604) 986-0259.
Don't be disappointed, call now as the class is filling rapidly.

Letters
to the Publisher:
Publisher,
Anne Marie Evers www.netadssell.com/affirmations
Telephone: (604) 988-9907
Dear Anne Marie,
I have a problem with my 6-year-old daughter who took a piece of jewellery from the store last week. I am
devastated as this is not the way was taught. Does this mean my child is going to be a thief? What can I do?
Kathy
Dear Kathy,
It is important to teach young children the value of respecting others property. Perhaps you may find some
answers in the following story. I really feel that young David did learn about respecting others property and
heartfelt thanks are in order to the store manager for taking that approach.
Love Anne Marie
A Lesson About Stealing
Five-year-old David went shopping with his mother and when they arrived home, his mom discovered a toy that she had not
purchased. When she questioned David about it, he said, "Yes. I took it from the store." She explained to him that this was a very
serious matter and that he was stealing. He became quite upset and said he was sorry. She asked him to come up with some
solutions to this problem, which he did. He said he could take the toy back, he could pay for it out of his allowance or we could not
tell anyone and that it would be a secret.
His mom asked him to go and sit down and think about what would be the best solution. The solution he offered was to take back
the toy and apologize to the store manager even though he really wanted to keep it. When they did this, the store manager used this
opportunity to help David learn a very good lesson and accept responsibility for his actions. He could not accept the toy out of the
package and told David that he would have to work to pay for it.
The mother reported that the store manager said, winking at her, “Young man, I will not report you to the police this time, but I want you to know that you took this toy without permission and that is
stealing. People spend time in jail for stealing.” David learned a very valuable lesson at a young age. This mother said that David
remembers that situation very clearly, even though it took place fifteen years ago. It is important for children to learn values and
respect other people’s property.
Dear Anne Marie,
Do all parents have the same problems as our family? It seems that we cannot have one peaceful meal in our house. I am at my
wit’s end, having tried almost everything I can think of. Do you have any advice on this matter?
Sherry
Dear Sherry,
Yes, I do believe we all have to assist our children to solve their problems. I am printing what one mother did with great results. Good Luck.
Love Anne Marie
Sibling Arguments
Every morning, Roberta and Kelly started their day with an argument. Roberta was very upset at her sister Kelly for going into her
room and taking her hairbrush without asking. On this particular morning, Kelly had not only gone into Roberta’s room and used her
hairbrush but she also took her barrette. Roberta discovered this at breakfast and started screaming at her sister. Her mother
wanted the yelling to stop at the table and wished for harmony during their mealtimes together.
Her mother remembered what she had learned about making agreements. She asked if they would both be willing to come to an
agreement about making their mornings more pleasant. Both girls left the house feeling angry and were upset for the whole day. After school that day, she asked both girls to sit down and individually brainstorm three solutions to solve the morning chaos.
When they read their individual responses to each other, they discovered that they both had written as one of the solutions getting
permission before going into each other’s room. They picked that as the solution to the problem. Their mom asked them to write a
contract with each other, stating that this was what they both agreed upon and they were willing to abide by this agreement in the
future. They both signed and dated the contract and it hangs on a family bulletin board in the study.

Developing
Self-Esteem:
Anne Marie Evers, Affirmations Coach
Norm's Story
Norm was the Sales Manager of a local newspaper. He had been married twice. He was very disenchanted with marriage because of
his relationship problems. He was desperate. Norm weighed 350 pounds. He was not that physically attractive, but he was a
wonderful person. My daughter, Aren introduced him to one of her girlfriends. Within two days he was already talking about a serious
commitment and even marriage, without any indication from the girl that she even liked him! His desperation showed through every
move he made. He grabbed on to anyone who paid him the slightest bit of attention. When I met Norm he shared his story with me, I
could not help wondering if I could help him. Could I accomplish the enormous task of teaching him to forgive self and others and to
love, respect and approve of himself, before he could expect others to do the same? Together we came up with a Personal
Affirmation Contract Method tailored just for him. First of all I gave him an affirmation as follows, “I, (Norm), now love, respect and
approve of myself just the way I am!’ (All 350 pounds of him). I impressed upon him the importance of feeling that he was worthy and
that he actually deserved that wonderful, happy, loving relationship.
Next we designed an affirmation to attract and keep that loving, lasting, relationship with the perfect woman for him. This affirmation
read: “I, (Norm) deserve and now have a loving, lasting, happy, healthy relationship with the perfect woman for me. Thank you, Thank
you, Thank you.”
For months we worked on his Master Affirmation for self-improvement, changing, revising and re-writing his affirmations often. He
began to feel more confident and one of the girls at work accepted his invitation to lunch. His confidence began building very slowly.
He began to take baby steps, and be thankful for every success along the way and the desperate look began to fade. Bit by bit he
started to believe that what he was affirming could actually happen! This was the first step to attaining his goal.
He could now see that in the past he had set himself up for failure. His changed his attitude, became noticeable and soon people
were seeking him out to speak with him. He began to feel worthy and self-confident and his new self-worth shone through his eyes. No longer was he the poor, desperate, lonely Norm. He developed an air of
self-acceptance and self-approval and people began treating him differently. His physical appearance was still the same. He still
weighed 350 pounds, but his successful attitude overshadowed his weight problem. People stopped making fat jokes about him and
he began taking an interest in his physical appearance. He became conscious of what and how often he ate. Then out of the blue, a
gorgeous, intelligent woman walked into his life and started pursuing him. Now Norm has never in his life been pursued -- he had
always done the pursuing. This woman saw what a wonderful person he was and how much love and caring he had to offer, even
though she did not know him. She wrote him beautiful poetry and long love letters expounding on how wonderful he was. He shared
some of these with me (not the intimate ones). They were phenomenal. She confirmed all the qualities and characteristics that we
were programming for him. They are together now and she shares the same interests. They are two soul mates planning to spend
the rest of their lives together.
All Norm ever wanted was to have that special person to love and appreciate him. In the past he had been willing to sacrifice his
values to experience love on any level. When he began to feel he was deserving, worthy and loveable, he learned that he did not have
to lose himself. He took his own qualities and attracted a woman with similar qualities through the Law of Attraction. Norm built a
blueprint of what he had to offer and what was important to him. He set the stage,
practiced forgiveness, did the Personal Affirmation Contract Method and creatively visualized the positive end result. He also brought the five, physical senses into play. Was he
successful? You bet he was and you will not find a happier guy. “I have it all.” he says, “And to think that all I had to do was forgive
myself and others and decide what I wanted and then go for it by embarking on the Personal Contract Affirmation Method. I also
needed to love and respect myself and do my affirmation program creatively visualizing the end result.” He continued, "I will tell
anyone who will listen about this wonderful power that is found within each and every one of us. All we need to do is to use it to
make our dreams come true.”

Opening to Love:
Janice Smith
Self Empowerment Coach
I don't think I can ever write enough about love. The only way
most of us know it is with another person. But there is also being
in the state of love. What do I mean by that? Being in the state
of love is very similar to being in love with another person, the
main difference being that it is not with another. The state of
love is about opening to the love that exists everywhere. Imagine
feeling like you were in love, yet not having to rely on how
another behaves in order to maintain the feeling. It is truly a
beautiful thing.
When one is in the state of love, we are open to deserving,
self-love and respect. We treat ourselves as the special jewels we
are. So often in this world, we think what we do is our gift to
the world, I'm going to let you in on a little known fact, it is
who we are that is our gift. I have learned that the biggest gift
I can give my clients is to be fully who I am, a loving, powerful,
magical being. Each one of us is unique in our specialness. We all
shine in a slightly different way. One of the ways to
sparkle as ourselves is to open to love.
Here is a simple exercise to assist you in opening to love. Lay down or sit somewhere you are comfortable. Play some relaxing
music. Begin to take slow deep breaths as you allow yourself to
relax. Breathing into any area of the body where you feel tension.
Just let the worries of your day slip away as you relax
completely. Imagine now that your heart is a flower. Once you have
completed that imagine a beautiful pink light shining down on you
from up above. See it focusing on your heart flower, as it does,
imagine your flower opening into full bloom as the pink light
nourishes it. Let yourself experience the wonderful feelings as
much as possible. If you find your flower wanting to close up just
tell it that it is ok, this kind of love can not hurt you.
Practice this nightly and you will experience more love in your
life. Enjoy the fall, a time of abundance.
May you live in magic
Hugs,
Janice

Reflections:
Janice Smith
Hi Janice,
I am so tired of feeling disrespected. I work so hard at my job
and all the boss ever does is to find fault with my work. My
friends are almost as bad, in that they will make plans with me
and then at the last minute change them. I am then left sitting at
home with nothing to do when I could have made other plans if I'd
known. I deserve to be respected. But how do I accomplish this?
Samantha
Dear Samantha,
First off, you do deserve to be respected. The first step is
learning to respect yourself. How often do you tell yourself that
you have done a good job or that you are proud of yourself? Are
you often telling yourself you are going to do something and then
not bothering to? Respect begins, by learning to respect ourselves
and our wishes. As much as we respect ourselves, is how much
others will respect us. So begin today, make a list at night of
all the wonderful things you accomplished that day or acknowledge
your wonderful qualities. And before you know it, you will be
receiving a great deal of respect from others. Good luck with your process.
Hugs,
Janice
