Note from Dawn

My daughter and I spent the 4th of July weekend at the Oregon Coast enjoying cool weather, lots of great food and playing in the ocean.

Even though my daughter knew little of Michael Jackson before his tragic death, his passing has allowed her to experience his videos and music with new youthful interest and enthusiasm.

I was never much of a Michael Jackson fan in the 80's.  But my first husband was a musician and composer for television, and when we were married in 1987, he insisted I go with him to one of Michael's concerts.  From that night on, I understood Michael's huge appeal.  He was the most amazing performer I have ever seen.  He gave so much of himself during his concerts, you couldn't take your eyes off him.  In spite of his troubled personal life, he was undeniably one of the most talented entertainers we'll ever see.

I believe Michael's untimely passing had a great deal to do with his inability to ever fully heal from his abusive and traumatic childhood.  Knowing firsthand how that kind of abuse can affect your entire life, is one of the things that fuels my passion for helping people heal from the past.

Perhaps if Michael had somehow learned how to deal with his highly sensitive nature, and his fears and emotions, instead of having to escape into prescription drugs and dysfunctional relationships, he could have somehow, someway found freedom from his prison of profound isolation.

Perhaps if we could all remember to look at the "man in the mirror," instead of pointing the finger of blame, and tearing each other and ourselves down with criticism and judgment, we might learn to treasure, respect and appreciate ourselves, our loved ones and our most talented icons while they are alive, instead of after they're gone.

Perhaps if we could remember to treat each other with understanding, compassion and kindness, and learn how to be as kind to those we love in life as we are in the wake of their death, we might all free ourselves from lives of loneliness and isolation.

One of my dearest teachers and mentors, Debbie Ford, wrote the beautiful Vow for Emotional Independence I include as this week's article.

Today, in the wake of Independence Day in America and the passing of Michael Jackson, I will take a stand for your emotional independence.  I invite you to take this profound step into your light and love.  You are a gift to the world.  You are a light and have much to share.  Remember that always and appreciate yourself for who you are.

Until next time,

With love, light and blessings,

"Take the Vow of Emotional Independence"

 by Debbie Ford

Emotional independence will give you the freedom to love and be loved, to give freely and to receive abundantly, to expand rather than contract, to move forward rather than stay stuck, to live in joy rather than misery, to be in control rather than to be controlled, and to be nourished by faith rather than diminished by fear.

Take the vow now.

The Vow of Emotional Independence

This vow's proclamation says I, ______ ________, will no longer be bound by the slavery of my past.

I will never again give my power away to some food, substance or disempowering craving.

I will stop allowing others to define who I am and I will stand for my highest expression.

I will stop trying to please others and instead please myself.

I will stop listening to the voice of my critical internal mother and father and I will listen to the voice of my most supportive and loving self.

I will break free from the strangulating grip of my self-defeating behaviors and choose powerfully each and every moment to make choices that leave me feeling great about myself and my life.

I take this vow NOW as a positive stand for my soul's highest expression and for every man, woman, and child on this planet today.

As I set myself free, I am freeing all others from the violence of my darkest thoughts and my negative projections.

And now, as I close my eyes, I ask all the powers that be to support me in living this vow each and every moment of each and every day.

And it shall be.

I highly recommend Steve Sisgold's great new book, "What's Your Body Telling You." As you read "What's Your Body Telling You?" you will identify, release and change the subconscious beliefs that sabotage your happiness and success. You'll learn to shift from confusion to clarity in an instant, becoming proactive and inspired in making important life decisions, and learn to communicate with far greater effectiveness and clarity in both your personal and professional lives.

This book is filled with many inspirational tales including how Steve followed his own body's instincts all the way to India to receive miraculous gifts, and went into the darkest corners of Poland and Germany, where he was joined by colleague and friend Gay Hendricks, and had one of the greatest healings of his life.

Testimonials

Dawn was able to help me open a new chapter to an old story by asking questions and saying things that shifted how I saw the situation.  Talking with her helped me understand how to apply my energy differently to create changes not only in the relationship we discussed but in my life in general.

As is usually the case, it wasn't so much that she taught me anything as that she coaxed me to a deeper understanding of something I already knew but only intellectually.  I am so looking forward to what is about to unfold for me as a result!  Thank you, Dawn! - Lela Male

Our session was absolutely invigorating.  I appreciate you for being who you are and sharing your time, and inspirational thoughts with me.  There was such an ease in talking with you, you have a gift for listening, sharing, sorting and processing.  I came into this with an open heart and mind and It was so amazing that we flew to such depths within me and really got to the core of the issue.  I'm so ready to continue on my path of healing the parts of me that will bring about more abundance in my life, for that I am so grateful! 

Truly Inspired,

Anna
