Welcome to E-Notes!
This is the place to refresh and regenerate yourself with hope and inspiration at a glance. You'll find heart-warming stories, 'A-ha' moments, holy "coincidences", new perspectives, selfless acts, useful tips, inner listening exercises, and creative meditations in this weekly publication.

My Life's Inspirations
I have always found my inspiration from the marvelous presence of others in my life as I grow and change. I started out working as a music teacher for teenagers in a special education school, where I learned that music can speak to the hearts of children with even the most limited abilities. I noticed one little miracle led to another as the children opened up their un-tuned voices to sing. Soon they were singing from their hearts - in tune - connecting deeply to that amazing God-place in themselves and in each and every one of us. The tears flowing in the audience at their concert were precious tears of love.

As my skills began to focus on counseling, I saw parents reunited with estranged children through mutual respect and understanding differences. I saw husbands learn to communicate with their wives, friends willing to forgive friends. And now as a spiritual counselor, I appreciate the miracle of being reunited with our inner voices, allowing us to live in universal harmony with the God in our hearts, life itself.

As a subscriber, you'll get a weekly free E-Note message (valued at $197 annually) that will help you deepen your spiritual, emotional, mental, and/or physical growth.

• A WHOLE NOTE at the top of the page indicates that the content will speak to your spiritual health. Perhaps it will be a suggestion for a meditation, a special prayer, an inspiring story, or a universal truth.
• If you see a HALF NOTE, expect your heart to be opened, perhaps feel a little tear. It might be from a piece of music, a movie, a book, or a love story.
• If you see a QUARTER NOTE, expect good ideas, or an exercise to explore your imagination. You might find a new technique to focus your mind, or a puzzle to strengthen your mental muscles.
• If you see an EIGHT NOTE at the top of the page, get ready to move out into the world. You may find a skill-building exercise, suggestions for living your best in the "real" world, a story of an inspiring deed that makes our earth a better place, or an amazing volunteer opportunity.

There's More!
In addition, I'll keep you informed with "What's Happening?", a section including news of books, CD's and DVD's, lectures, classes, seminars and interesting conferences that promise to be inspiring. On occasion, I'll share with you pieces of music that inspire me, and great images that I find useful to remind us of a universal truth. And sometimes you'll find comments from readers like yourself.
