Hello Friend,
I hope that those of you affected by the extremely cold temperatures are
managing to survive and stay warm. To
those of you who live in the warmer climates, I trust that you are counting
your blessings!

SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE
Everything happens just the way it is supposed to, and when we realize that, grace is bestowed.
On Christmas day, my lovely partner, Liz, and I went to the movies and saw a film called "Slumdog Millionaire." I knew nothing about the movie or its plot before I saw it. However, earlier in the week, I had noticed the movie's title on the theater's marquee and I remember thinking "What a strange name for a Christmas movie."
I didn't think about it again until I was online trying to confirm the times for movie showings. Again, I came across the intriguing title "Slumdog Millionaire" and without even reading what it was about, I was getting "hits" (you know, those internal feelings and signs that direct you to do something) to see this movie. Even though Liz and I already had decided to see another movie, I knew I wanted to see this one now. Even after I read what it was about, it still didn't sound all that great, but I just knew I had to see it. Liz agreed that we would go see "Slumdog Millionaire" on Christmas day and see the other movie at another time.
I won't go into too many details about the movie (by the way, if you haven't seen it yet, please do), but I was astonished that it captured so much of what I believe in and teach: "everything happens for a reason" and "it all has a Divine purpose, though we might not know it at the time."
Throughout the movie, terrible things happen to the main characters. But they continue moving forward with their lives, making the best of what they have. Circumstances split the main characters up and they live separate lives for a while. By the time they are rejoined, they have very different lifestyles. Each of them is using what they have learned growing up to survive. And at the end of the movie, the main character is able to use some of his most horrible memories to accomplish something he never dreamed of.
All of us in life have experienced "horrible" things. What
we choose to do with those things today will mold our future. Do we turn our swords
into plowshares? Do
we turn that lump of coal into a diamond? Seeing
things from a different perspective is just the beginning of a life filled with
Trust, Forgiveness and Acceptance, all of which brings peace into our lives.

UPCOMING WORKSHOPS AND SPEAKING EVENTS
When it comes to learning how to cope and enrich your life, sharing the
thoughts and experiences of others via blog can be effective, but nothing beats
the healing impact of human interaction.
And that's what I provide at my workshops. You will better understand your own life
experiences and the resulting disconnections from your heart. My goal - and passion - is to help you open
your heart and find the freedom and joy we are all mean to experience. Please share this information with those who
have a need.

find the misconceptions that are blocking them from experiencing meaningful and
honest relationships with God, self, and others.
You
will learn how to discover your original disconnection to your old wiring so
that you can reconnect, reroute and rewire your most primal thoughts, emotions
and beliefs. This process helps men who have suffered with addictions or who
are affected by others who have addictions, as well as those who suffer because
of dysfunctional relationships, death of a loved one, emotional, sexual or
physical abuse, those who feel the need for more in life, and those whose
experiences have closed off their connection to their heart.

During this event, I will
present an introduction to "An Invitation to Trust" series of Ah-Man
workshops.
This lecture will address the ways in which
certain life experiences such as addictions, abuse, death, unhealthy
relationships, etc., distort our perceptions of, and reactions to, life and
relationships. I will introduce another
way of processing these experiences so that you are able to regain a level of
trust that has been lost.
