We must acknowledge and embrace who we are and how special we are, otherwise we will always feel envy, jealously, live in fear, and become insecure about our own unique talents and beauty. It is our responsibility to recognize and celebrate our innate gifts. It is our duty to live our life courageously without apology, as we love our individuality! To comprehend that we have been endowed with wisdom to guide our distinct lives to our ultimate fulfillment... is to be liberated from the bonds of the ego-mind. Our ego-mind says that we are powerless, born unworthy, and have no “real” purpose in life. It is often easier to believe these lies than to work on revealing our truth. Once we see our truth and accept who we are... we can easily let go of the “old self” and allow the Universe to unravel our negative ways of being. As a result, we will open up to our potentiality of living a happy life. First, we must release our old patterns in order to be renewed and restored. This unraveling process is sometimes painful; however, only for the mind, while the heart rejoices upon freeing up the heavy energy. The old energies now can be transformed and used for our new life. I want to mention, that with our new power comes responsibility and accountability, which we must also welcome.
Most of us are not willing to “pay the price” of letting go of our tattered and exhausted ways of being, even though, they do not work. We have become accustomed to living a small life, a life that is all too familiar, and repetitive. We hesitate to explore what is truly in store for us. Fear consumes and paralyzes us. As a result, we decide to stay put and justify the “hows” and “whys” of our miserable lives. Many of us have been conditioned to believe that only a few chosen people have the “talents and gifts” to live an abundant successful life; therefore, we settle for a mundane existence of mediocrity.
Today you can begin a new life! You may accept the power of your uniqueness by simply stating that you are willing to let go of things that no longer serve you and actions that are not the true you. Then, ask your heart’s center for wisdom.
I encourage you to spend time each day getting in touch with the possibilities of the “authentic powerful you” whom is waiting for your recognition and ownership. This unique person, whom is hidden deeply within your soul, has been waiting to be welcomed into your life. Try speaking to your soul. Clasp your hands over your heart’s center and ask to be shown your potentiality and your individuality. View your birth gifts from heart’s vantage point. Ultimately, you will experience a change in your life, because your soul will converse with you and you no longer can use an excuse. As you recognize your potentiality, you are transformed and you began to manifest your deepest dreams.
What will it be? Are you willing to own your uniqueness and allow it to shine through so that you live an empowered life? It only takes a few minutes to center in your heart, connect to your soul and have a conversation. Go ahead be tenacious, follow your soul’s prompting.

Ponder This: Empowering School Students with Soul Purpose
Yesterday, I participated in a networking project with a high-school class of juniors in Fort Wayne, IN. I gleaned noteworthy information from the interaction with these bright young men and women. The students are studying business and their project was to network with the business volunteers sharing their concepts.
The concepts or inventions had to address a consumer need that is not presently in the market. There was a variety of creative ideas and many of them could be developed into thriving businesses. I was proud to be a part of the workshop.
All of the students blew me away with their creativity and their ability to express their ideas. One particular young man stunned me with his idea. He had expanded his concept into a world mission, where he would design a product that would benefits others, while still making a profit. I was impressed with his vision, he deeply touched my heart!
Every student either desired to improve an already established form of technology making life easier and/or keeping people safer. Additionally, students wanted to improve sports/recreational related products.
Out of twenty-some students, only one young man had an actual "soul" intention, this also concerned me. This young man wanted to create a system of water-wells that would supply water for a particular area in Africa. His idea was great and well formulated. As he shared his vision, I felt his passion and concern for others. He expressed to me that many villages in Africa have to share five gallons of water among its inhabitants. I realized as we spoke, that he had either done his research well, had a mission-oriented family, or an inspiring mentor. Of course, this young many touched me deeply as he shared his vision and story. I wanted to reach out and hug him, but of course, with school rules, I did not. I quickly noticed that he was connected to his "soul's purpose" and was listening to his heart. He would indeed, in the near future, accomplish his dream or even something bigger. He had chosen an idea that would create a better world; it was a soulful project. I absolutely felt his determination to achieve his vision of bringing water to the people of Africa. He had what it takes... energy, heart, focus, and power behind his dream. I believe in him.
Why didn't more of these amazing juniors have their "soul's purpose" guiding their project? Who is going to teach them this essential key to real success? This should be the first step in teaching business, should it not?
Why aren't we teaching our young adults to first look into their hearts and ask their souls, "Why am I on earth, what is my purpose?" There is nothing wrong with teaching young people a purposeful life. It is the only way to change our world. We need each young person's "soul's purpose" developed in order to bring forth a better world. Children are our future, and if they are not connected to their souls when making business decisions, our world will not change. We need businesses that have integrity and that are built for the good of all... this can only come about when our children rebuild our world from their soul's intentions.
I left the classroom grateful to have experienced this opportunity. The children had taught me a great deal. I went away with many gifts in my heart, yet a deep sadness, which lingered over me most of the day. When do we start bringing awareness into our educational systems to let our children know that they each have a "soul purpose" that they should fulfill? We must teach our children that they should create "soulful" businesses and not businesses that simply make a lot of money!
We must teach our children about their "souls' purpose." This could be done without mentioning religion of dogma. Regardless of our belief systems, we each have a spirit, or soul, and frankly this is pretty easy to see. We breathe so we have a spirit/soul, end of story. What's important is that our children get on the right track early in life and find their place in our world. This task can only be achieved by teaching children that they each have a soul purpose and must bring it to life. Their individual purpose is important and they cannot live in peace and harmony without it. Our work as adults is to support children in discovering their soul's purpose, provide them with tools to develop their skills to bring this purpose forth, and to inspire them until it is complete. Pause and ask yourself, "What am I doing to help a child realize his or her soul's purposes?"

Ponder This - Empower the Children
I have a strong conviction that the “answer” for our nation’s social ills is: AWARENESS. Self-awareness leads to self-empowerment and empowerment is the only true solution for the world’s massive problems. Some may doubt this, so I offer additional information and insight. I know that once a person becomes aware and empowered, that soul cannot be manipulated. An empowered person has good intentions and they live from their hearts daily fulfilling their dreams and goals. Because empowerment comes from self-awareness, the actions of empowered souls are for the betterment of personal growth and those around them, empowerment is for the good of all and this includes all living things.
Most individuals do not live empowered lives. Most of us, regardless of our educational level, live unaware of our natural power and capabilities. If this seems to appear as over simplification for the cure of our ills, consider this. Our nation “throws” billions of dollars at social issues and problems. Ask yourself: Why do we spend over 6 times more money to house a prisoner than we do to educate a child? Why do we still have an epidemic of teen pregnancies? Why do so many of our youth belong to gangs, take drugs and drop out of school at alarming rates? Why do we still have so much domestic violence in a civilized world? Why do we create so many programs to take care of people who simply lack self-awareness?
The truth is, when people are empowered most of the social ills that we presently deal with, disappear. The main issue, globally, is that most of us have either low, inflated or a total lack of self-awareness. One must question why a nation like the United States doesn’t focus more on empowering people, instead of “dis-empowering” them. All through the ages, every wise person has said that empowering people allows them to live a fulfilled purposeful life. Simply put, “The answers are within.”
Many leaders of agencies, organizations, businesses and government have marvelous and powerful intentions for solving social issues. So why do we have little to no progress? Simply, most of these well intended groups leave out the essential ingredient of self-empowerment. It may be in their mission statement, but too often it is an after thought.
So what action do we take? Knowing we will never have enough agencies, money or time to fix our world issues, we must decide to look at the root of these issues and know that promoting awareness, from a very early age, allows us to move forward. My book “Sophia and the Seven Goddesses: A Journey of Self Acceptance” was created to be an entertaining, yet educating book for pre-teens. By demonstrating how to use the seven natural attributes, which we each have, the book encourages and inspires children (and their adult readers) to accept themselves as they are, discover their intuitive wisdom and become empowered to create a better world. This is one of my gifts to children. We each must begin offering tools of empowerment.
When an infant is reminded throughout childhood, that she is a gift to the world, born with special talents which must be developed for the sake of all, then this child has a completely different perspective on life. When a child understands that he is endowed from birth with enough wisdom to accomplish remarkable dreams and to make good choices for life, we have an empowered child. Until we join together and decide what the major issue truly is and work together toward the empowerment of others, we will continue to face the same chaos.
The best way to keep our children off the streets, off drugs, prevent teen pregnancies, from being abused, etc., is to spend our personal and social resources on empowering our children from the inside out. Despite language, religion or politics, we must all agree on “empowerment.” We must teach children to understand that within each of them is a child who is born wise, talented and inherently good. No child is born in a state of unworthiness. Once a child understands that the Source of All Life loves him/her, this child is empowered because he/she knows “they count.” Once a child is empowered, he/she empowers others, having the understanding that this is the way of life.
We must breakdown our cultural patterns of thinking and acting and begin to own the fact that we are all children of The One. There is no value in arguing over the titles and principles of man made religions about this One. We must live in love and do what we were asked to do by this One on the day we were born... “live our heavenly intention and remember who and what we are.”
So what can you do? Eliminate the “worn out” thinking (which hasn’t gotten us far) and open up to discovering even more of who and what you are and then pass it on. Make a commitment today to empower every adult and child you come in contact with. Remember this fact... we don’t need more programs, we need to restructure the present ones. What we must do is simple... own and accept who and what we are and empower others to do likewise.

Ponder This: Get the Feeling of Empowerment
To achieve our potential we must learn that the key element in life is to "feel" our way through our personal success. Our journey to empowered living is more about "feeling" than thinking; not to minimize thinking, au contraire.
When we begin to "feel out" people, things, and our state of affairs, we will have a knowing for the proper action or direction to take. Our "feelings" are an intelligence that communicates to us 24/7. Sadly to say, most of us simply ignore these emotions or "feelings" since they do not originate from our minds.
We need to consider whether people, things, and our state of affairs are in harmony with our intentions and soul purpose. We can do this by using our emotional intelligence as a barometer and say to ourselves, "How does this or that feel?" And wait for the "feeling" message. The answer comes almost instantly. NO waiting around. We feel the answer and then our "feelings" turn into a knowing. We must trust our "feeling" intelligence and know it always guides us correctly, because each one of us is born with natural wisdom and this wisdom is accessed through our "feeling body". Working with our hearts first and then ours minds, in a cohesive manner, is called using our innate wisdom.
When we pause to "feel out" our life's experiences the right answers will flow forth to us. We must to learn to trust this "feeling" process, as Sophie and Tena did in our book, "Sophia and the Seven Goddesses: a Journey of Self-Acceptance." Throughout this book, these two young girls, Sophie and Tena, begin to understand that everyone has access to natural wisdom. I believe every person deserves to know the essential message that "feeling" is always a more refined language than thinking.
This week put a little more "feeling" or heart into your day and let me know how much smoother your life moves along. I wait to hear from you.

Ponder This: Empowerment through Wisdom for Inspired Living
Dr. Wayne Dyer, in his powerful book, “Excuses Be Gone,” writes that with every thought, feeling, and action we have a choice. I agree. However, it is not always a simply task to make a decision. Dr. Dyer says “choosing” not “excusing” is the action to abide by, and I respect what he is saying. On a recent PBS special, I heard him say, “Hear this and here this well. All excuses are “mis-alignment.” I agree with his stunning message. Still it left me with some questions that needed answers in order for me to rid myself of “excuses.” Firstly, what is mis-alignment? Secondly, if we are mis-aligned, from what or who are we mis-aligned? Thirdly, how do we re-align? Are these similar questions and concerns you might have? I am suggesting together we ponder these questions as a “wisdom community” and discuss them on my “Bev’s Blog.” I would appreciate your thoughts and ideas about these questions. I would like to hear from you. Below is how I am considering these questions... that is, until I receive your emails, which may change my mind. Please share. Blog!
Speaking to thousands of people yearly, I have learned that most of us have concerns when it comes to making decisions. We contemplate situations that we fear might cause us to make a mistake, as a result our decision to “leap” at an opportunity might be hindered. Therefore, procrastination sets in and/or we make excuses to avoid the situation, as Dr. Dyer so well emphasized. Excuses are red flags that we are not living an empowered life and yes, that we are mis-aligned, but again I ask from what?
I believe that many of us have become disconnected, or “mis-aligned,” from our unique, natural wisdom or intuitive knowing that provides us with the confidence to make effective decisions. We are born in perfect alignment, which I prefer to call attunement - being or bringing into harmony with our souls’ purpose and our unique wisdom to accomplish this purpose. We are each born with a “user friendly” manual... one that updates itself automatically and constantly for our moment to moment needs. Being able to be in harmony with our manual moves us from striving to thriving.
Every individual is born aware of his or her purpose and remains aware until he or she is taught differently. Our “rasion de’etre,” or “reason for being,” is to enjoy life according to our soul’s purpose, and to have the opportunity to choose how we want to design our journey. We don’t have to make our choices alone. We are created with an inner connection, a navigational system, that some saints and spiritual teachers call the “inner web of life” to The Divine Source. The acknowledgment of this very fact, and the reinforcement of being told early as a child of this connection, allows us to grow up with an entirely different perspective of life. Therefore, our choices are made with confidence. We are empowered and in turn are able to empower those around us.
Mis-alignment, being out of harmony, is simply not understanding that we are born with a powerful connection to universal wisdom and only we can “dis-connect” and “re-connect” to her. Coming into attunement with our souls’ purpose allows us to recognize that we are born with wisdom; consequently, we make wise “choices” instead of “excuses”. Most of the time we do not have to do much except to “recognize and own” our birthright of wisdom, in order to live an empowering life.
In our award winning empowerment book for girls (and the girl inside every woman appreciates this book too), “Sophia and the Seven Goddesses; A Journey of Self-Acceptance,” Sophie, the main character, learns about self-love and appreciation through discovering that she is a born goddess and that she has wisdom from which to draw strength and answers. Subsequently, Sophie and her friend Tina learn to trust their good decisions. This trusting empowers them to make even more good decisions. Sophie and Tina go on an amazing journey of self-discovery, learning that they have always been connected to wisdom, and all they need to do is attune to their wisdom through their own hearts. Together the two twelve year olds learn a basic exercise, which immediately connects them to their hearts’ wisdom and gives them courage and the means to live an empowering life. Their choices are based from love and not fear. By the end of the story the two girls know that they can depend upon their own wisdom to always be present for them, anyplace, and any time. They are empowered, because they know wisdom is their friend and will always be by their side. As a result, they don’t make “excuses” they simply “choose wisely,” and teach others to do likewise. Both girls become empowered because they learned, at an early age, that within everything, wisdom lives. How different would our lives be today, had we been taught about our wisdom at an early age?
To live an empowering life we must accept Truth that we are born with wisdom, or as the Greeks call it “gnosis,” and bring ourselves into alignment, or attunement, so that we may access our unique wisdom. Then, we too can proclaim, just as Dr. Wayne Dyer says “Excuses Be Gone!”
