For the past month or so I’ve been making time each morning to listen to a motivational mp3 or CD.
Twice a week we listen to Healing With The Masters which is a free podcast until sometime in December. I’ve enjoyed most of these interviews thus far – it’s well worth checking it out if it’s your kind of thing!
The other 5 days we’ve been following a Tony Robbins audio program (Personal Power). This has been such a great investment in my time as I’ve learned so much. I’m familiar with NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) but haven’t got very excited about it. Paul did a course and he always shares what he’s learnt with me (usually when I’m trying to read or go to sleep etc.) – must admit it didn’t capture my attention too much.
Anyway, this audio course is brilliant. We’ve just listened to Tony’s advice and views on relationships where he talks about his fantastic relationship with his wife Becky. The course was recorded some years ago when they were still married (Mr. Robbins is now married to a woman called Sage who was previously known as Bonnie!!) – he talks with so much passion for his former wife you can’t help but wonder where it all went wrong. And how good his advice actually is when he didn’t remain with the same woman.
And all this on the day I learn Doreen Virtue was divorced by her husband, Steven Farmer. I’m quite a fan of Doreen and I really enjoyed reading about her life & travels with her now ex. Although there were a few accounts which made me wonder if he was really as ‘shaman’ as he claimed – and now as he took her to court and gets $35,000 per month alimony I’m pretty sure he’s not walking the same spiritual path as a lot of folk.
All very sad. But it’s made me feel thankful for my own marriage and the connection I have to Paul. You never know how long relationships will last so make every second count 
I am so sad to hear about Doreen’s divorce. I have a couple of her books and her Goddess oracle cards which are my favorite divination tool to work with! I hope you moves on and continues on her path!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Blessings,

As in all true wisdoms, I have only blessings for Doreen in this uncomfortable public situation, however speaking spiritually and therapeutically, it was always in poor and unkind questionable ethics the manner in which she dissed or spoke ill at great length of her ex’s in her books, seeming trite, petty and unkind.
Particularly from her childrens healthy perspectice, what did they feel internally when she published such lurid accounts of her husband, their fathers cruelty to her, her next husbands cursing at the printer, and various other jabs in karmic and ethical poor taste. Angelic wisdom would deem that the humiliation and public embarrasment to these men in thousands of internationally published books reaped little of true benefite to anyone. None of their deeds were worthy of such mass publication in front of their own friends and famiies and many ‘new age’ strangers. Keeping a gracious and private respect for ones ex’s handing it over to God without seeking others aggreement in their ‘lowness’ is superior, I feel. Regardless, may only goodness come to Doreen in clarification of anything that was not up to par. God Bless.
