Greetings!
 
My very dear good friend Anna Tipps, creator of the Purely Delicious magazine and the Beautifully Raw calendars died yesterday from stage 4 breast cancer and the effects of chemotherapy, radiation and drug therapy. My heart cried out for her and her 4 children she left behind and I really cried today when I got the news. I know that disease is not just about diet. Dr. Lorraine Day says all diseases are spiritual. I believe it is a combination: diet, environment, stress and our belief system.
 
This month is about love and I encourage you to start with YOU. Love yourself. Love who you are at this very moment. Invest in you. Heal from past traumas, breathe deeply, exercise, eat the best organic food ever, love being loved and give love and occasionally indulge in chocolate.

REJECTIONLife Skills
We are pleased to announce a special speaking presentation by Dr. Paul Hegstrom; Founder of Life Skills International.
Calgary Life Skills Learning Center is an officially licensed affiliate of Life Skills International and
will be hosting a special re-broadcast presentation of a recent webinar on the subject "Rejection".
Rejection is defined as "an impaired ability to give or receive Love" and is known to be more damaging to a child than many other forms of abuse. Rejection can act as an umbrella for other traumas and is a subtle destroyer that can take on many forms or happen at any age of
childhood.
Learn how rejection that occurs in childhood can affect our own day to day lives and marriage, as
well our abilities to interact with others in our adult environment. The Life Skills programs are internationally taught and have been proven to help give people from all walks of life the tools to live happy and healthier lives.
 
This special onetime only re-broadcast of Dr. Paul "The Rejection Seminar" will be aired in its entirety on February 6th, 2010 at 6:00 p.m at the Carriage House Inn - 9030 Macleod Trail South. Ticket prices are $39.95 and seating is limited so please call to reserve your space.

Please join us as Dr. Paul Hegstrom, Founder of Life Skills International, speaks on how to break the unhealthy patterns that keep us trapped. Hear his own exciting story about how he was unable to unlock the power and truth that was within him all along! You can break those bonds in
your own life!
The re-broadcast Seminar done by Dr. Paul on rejection - how childhood rejection affects our own lives - has new material not in the Phase I course. This is being offered to the public as well as past Phase I participants.
Life Skills has helped tens of thousands of people repair broken relationships and build healthy ones since 1982. Please join us for this life changing event, bringing your family and friends. I really encourage you to click the link and watch the 10 minute video.
