June 2011 Newsletter from Irene Martina  


From: Irene and Grace (Office Manager) 

 

 

 

Dear friends,

 

We had a great holiday and as all holidays seem to be; it went too fast!  Victoria was beautiful.   We also went to my cousin Sheri's wedding and like all brides her dress was stunning and so was she.  Her husband Mike was handsome, the food yummy and it was great to see some relatives that I have not seen for years.  My uncle Tom was looking especially good compared to the last time I had seen him.  We had a wonderful time.   

 

We came home to a water leak from our fridge's ice maker and we were sure glad that Grace was looking after the house.  I always like to look at the symbolism in things when something happens and, as water means emotions, it seemed almost fitting that water would be a problem; if we were to have one after an emotional holiday.  Another treat was my aunt and uncle from Manitoba dropped in for a 3 day visit too.  

 

We are 99% done the renovations. We are waiting for a new front door due to arrive at the end of this month and hopefully our lives can get back to normal.    

 

I want to thank those of you who took the time to  send me your great feedback on last months newsletter and some of you teasingly said " I may have created a new job option as a poet !"  It is always appreciated to hear from friends, clients and family; many thanks!   

 

I am planning a special birthday party for Ron and I as we are both hitting a significant birthday. Ron turns 60 (July 4th) and myself 65 on June 18th. We could not let these special dates slip by and we are really looking forward to sharing it with friends and family.    

Do you have special plans for the summer? I am sure most of you do and I hope you give yourself permission to take lots of time for yourself and enjoy ever minute of it. Taking time for fun and relaxation should not be one of regrets in our golden years. It is said that we cannot control the length of our life but we can control its use. Why worry about the things you cannot control?  Just keep control of the things that depend on YOU.     

 

Have a wonderful month!    

Blessings Irene  

 

 

 

 

    

 

 

 


Exciting New Workshop Coming this Fall!


 Last month I mentioned a new workshop that Linda and I are creating and we are so excited about it!  It is developing into something incredible.  We are not totally done with its development but it is coming together beautifully and I don' think you will find another workshop like this one anywhere.  Our target launch date is October and it will be a weekend workshop with some guest speaker(s) contributing.   

 

Below is our current write up which may be changed as we develop it even more.    

 

The purpose of the workshop is to centre your awareness on your God Self/Authentic Self in order that you may live each moment on purpose.

Following the Theme of Awareness through a variety of mini-lectures, self reflection exercises, partner work, group discussions, and meditations, participants will delve into deeper aspects of who they have been,  who they have become and who they choose to be from this moment onward. Utilizing these insights as well as knowledge gained about the nature of energy consciousness and the interaction among the ego, spirit and body, participants will be able to focus on what it means to live a purposeful life.

 

 

Stay tuned for more details next month !

  INSIGHTS AND SOLUTIONS  

 


When was the last time you gave yourself credit ?   

 

Did you know that women often don't feel successful because we never give ourselves credit.  Statistics have indicated that few women believe they are successful because they don't feel successful. If you are saying to yourself that you know you are successful do you often admit it out loud?  

 

Webster's dictionary defines success as " the attaining of a desired end," as well as wealth and fame. Did you realize that failure and success are considered the yin and yang of achievement and that we have absolutely no control over these two forces! We can only control our response to success and failure.   

 

In order to to be really happy and fulfilled we need to understand and know the difference between what's real and what's not. Pursuing success and financial independence is ok for women and that living successfully and giving yourself credit is living by your own truths and in your own spotlight and no one can take that away from you.  

 

Celebrate all your success even if you think it does not seem to be a big one. I have decided to give myself a " Queen for a Day" reward every month and I also promise myself that I will give myself credit for the little things and that I will toast myself when I complete something, create something, and reach for new goals and achieve something. If you wonder why you should do this; It is because we cannot wait for the world's approval and the world cannot give us the recognition that we need to be fulfilled.  Perhaps start a success diary of better yet write a success in your daily diary or day timer every time you feel successful. Remember you have a gift for the world, make peace with your past, revel in your passions and let the future take you down the road of success to achieving your Divine Plan.    

 

 
 
                Touching a Life ... Visits From the Other Side!
Firstly:  

I have  received a short note on the amazing story a few months back regarding the motorcycle death out east.  The police have made an arrest and it is the truck driver. No trial date has yet been set but it is awesome knowing that this young man's death was no  suicide an that it may have remained unresolved.   I am very happy for the family.  


Secondly,

 

I want to share another story with you.  A few weeks back a man phoned me and he was quite upset.  It seems his father had died and no one knew where the will was and they knew he had made one shortly before he died.  After much searching with no luck, his sister (a client) told him to call me. He did not want to do that and after much frustration he felt he had no choice and reluctantly called me.   

 

When I am faced with a stressful situation such as his, I am well aware of the pressure on me and I sometimes go into a mini panic mode as I don' t want to fail to help someone in need. He was not being too helpful with his manner so I said I would call him back in 10 minutes.   I meditated and asked for a vision or help from his deceased dad and he did not seem to want to come in. Mediums cannot make a spirit show up.  As I was about to call the man back, I had this red box flash into my head and I instantly stood still and asked for more.  Again the red flash and I saw myself in a garage with an old ford white truck and that was all I could get.   

 

When I phoned the gentleman back I told him I could not connect or see his dad but that I had received a vision and he did not give me a chance to tell him what the vision was. He got angry at me.  

I said, (not rudely but firmly) " You need my vision more than I need your anger so when you calm down give me a call."   I was sorry for his pain and frustration but I sometimes get annoyed at people who think all psychics are quacks or manipulators and that we are evil incarnate!   My, my I may sound a bit testy, eh!

 

An hour later the phone rang and it was my client apologizing  for her brother and did my vision mean anything. I told her what I saw and she got quite excited and told me she would call me back.   

 

The following morning I got a call from; guess who?  Mr. Unbeliever!   He told me he was sorry and that he personally wanted to thank me and apologize for his rudeness, mistrust and bad manners.  He told me they found the will in the back of the front seat of his Dad's old ford truck in the garage and in a red shoebox!   

 

Mr. Unbeliever now has an appointment to see me in about 10 days!   As I said above; celebrate your success's no matter how small and when he shows up my mind will be quietly telling me to plan well for my " Queen of the Day reward.   I will make my attitude adjustment before he comes.  Thanks for " listening".    

 

Have a great month!  Blessings, Irene
