Happy Healthy Wealthy Wise with Honey Ward

Please join me in telling the President to end the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy and not to fire Lt. Dan Choi.

Lt. Dan Choi, from Orange County, California, is a graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and an Iraq War veteran. Last March he went on Rachel Maddow’s show and spoke three truthful words: “I am gay.”

As a result Lt. Choi received a letter from the Army on April 23 discharging him for violating the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy. He told Rachel Maddow the letter was “a slap in the face” to himself and the soldiers he as commanded and served with over the past decade.

Lt. Choi is fighting to stay in the military and ensure that no other soldier is ever again discharged as a result of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” The Courage Campaign and CREDO Mobile are joining his effort to secure equality in our armed forces.

President Obama did not create this policy. But he now has the opportunity to keep his promise and allow gay and lesbian soldiers to serve openly in the military. It’s the right thing to do — for justice and for national security.

84,042 people (as of Monday, May 18) have signed the following petition to President Obama from the Courage Campaign and CREDO Mobile.

Please add your name now:

Dear President Barack Obama,

The time has come to end discrimination in our armed forces. We, the undersigned, ask you to stop the discharge of Lt. Dan Choi and any other soldier as a result of the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy. We ask that you uphold your pledge and push Congress to quickly put a bill on your desk to repeal “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.”

Sincerely,

This continues to be a terrific week!

I am so excited to hear from folks who are taking advantage of the Success Coaching bonus for Experience and Intensive enrollments.

People are hungry for more passion, power and meaning in their lives, and I am honored to offer a launching pad for that expansion and deepening.

You can still take advantage of the $250 Success Coaching bonus, but the spaces are limited, so you’ll want to move fast to get one.

I also want to share something else with you…

Nearly two decades ago I discovered Gary Zukav and his book, “The Seat of the Soul”. Gary was among the very first personal empowerment experts promoted by Oprah, and his work has been valuable in my own journey.

Following are some principles his institute has formulated. Much of it may be familiar, especially if you are an Experience graduate, and I like the way he has encapsulated the concepts into a handy “how to” type of guide.

SPIRITUAL PARTNERSHIP GUIDELINES
Practice using these Guidelines everywhere – at home, with family, at work. And
remember to enjoy yourself!

COMMITMENT
MAKING MY SPIRITUAL GROWTH (CREATING AUTHENTIC POWER) MY HIGHEST PRIORITY
1. Focus on what I can learn about myself all the time, especially from my
reactions (such as anger, fear, jealousy, resentment, and impatience) instead of
judging or blaming others or myself.
2. Notice my emotions (by feeling the physical sensations in my energy centers).
3. Notice my thoughts (such as planning my reply, judging, analyzing, comparing,
day-dreaming, etc.)
4. Notice my intention (such as blaming, judging, needing to be right, wanting
admiration, escaping into thoughts (intellectualizing), trying to convince, etc.)

COURAGE
STRETCHING MYSELF BEYOND THE LIMITED PERSPECTIVES OF THE FRIGHTENED PARTS OF MY PERSONALITY.
1. Take responsibility for my feelings, experiences, and actions (no blaming).
2. Practice integrity at all times (often requires action, such as speaking when
frightened parts of my personality don’t want to speak and not speaking when
they feel compelled to speak).
3. Say or do what is most difficult (sharing what I notice, if appropriate, when
someone speaks or acts from a frightened part of her personality; sharing about
myself what I am frightened to say and know that I need to say.)

COMPASSION
SEEING MYSELF AND OTHERS AS SOULS WHO SOMETIMES HAVE FRIGHTENED PARTS OF THEIR PERSONALITIES ACTIVE.
1. Change my perspective from fearful to loving (choose to see myself and others
in a loving or appreciative way).
2. Release any distance I feel from anyone.
3. Be present while others are speaking (not preparing replies, judging, etc.)

COMMUNICATION AND ACTION
STRIVING TO MAKE ALL MY INTERACTIONS CONSCIOUS AND LOVING.
1. Consult my intuition.
2. Choose my intention before I speak or act.
3. Act from the healthiest part of my personality that I can find (rather than
caretaking, fixing, teaching, judging, blaming, gossiping, etc.)
4. Speak personally and specifically rather than generally and abstractly (use “I”
statements rather than “we” or “you” statements).
5. Release attachment to the outcome (trust the Universe). If I find myself
attached, begin again with Commitment, Courage, Compassion.

You can register for The Experience or The Intensive and receive
complimentary one-on-one coaching (value $250)!

Limited number of spots available– beginning Wednesday, May 6,
noon Eastern, at www.ExperienceYourPower.com

**********************
Have you ever wondered why some people seem to go through life
effortlessly and joyfully, attracting the relationships,
circumstances, and fulfillment they desire, while others
struggle?

There’s nothing special about those who live more powerfully.
They come from all walks of life, family backgrounds, income,
and educational levels. They are men, women, gay, straight,
black, white, Christian, atheist, and more.

They have simply learned how to expand their consciousness, and
you can, too. Children express this freedom naturally. Then the
experiences of growing up often teach us to withhold ourselves,
to play it safe, maybe even to think and act like victims.
Living in any kind of a closet is no fun.

It doesn’t have to be that way!

In The Experience, you can discover and actually experience
what
it means to live more powerfully, to be fully self-expressive,
and to connect deeply with yourself and others. It isn’t the
same as reading a book or watching a movie; it’s about deeply
exploring and expanding yourself in real time.

Sometimes, living more powerfully feels like learning something
new, and sometimes, it just feels like remembering–
remembering the freedom, wisdom, and joy that are innate to us
as human beings.

The Experience is a chance for you to see your life, past and
present, from many angles, showing you exactly what is working
and what is not, and to reconnect with your truest self. In
this expanded context, you will be able to see and experience
your life, perhaps even your history, in a new light.

You’ll discover more about yourself, and how you relate to the
world around you. You’ll be able to create more of what you
want from life–
· authentic personal relationships
· effective leadership skills
· more success in business
· greater financial success
· deeper spiritual development
· stronger sense of physical and mental well-being
· more positive self-image and identity
· oodles more success and fulfillment

In some ways it’s about Coming Out– coming out in all ways,
since sexual orientation is just one of the ways in which we
can hold back. The Experience even founded National Coming Out
Day!

The Experience will inspire and support you to stop holding
back and start getting everything you want out of life. During three
full days, you explore how you function in a variety of
settings and circumstances, all crafted to allow you to see how
you feel about yourself as you interact with others.

You’ll walk away with a new experience of your life-one filled
with more love, passion, and power!

The next Experience workshop takes place August 14-17.

As always, space is strictly limited so every person gets
personalized individual attention.

You won’t get “lost in the crowd” in the programs I lead!

I am upping the ante for this one and offering a BIG BONUS,
3 Success Coaching sessions, valued conservatively at $250.

I am doing this so you not only get full value from The
Experience, you will have me “holding your hand” once you leave
the workshop, to help you integrate and use the material and
your powerful personal experience.

Here’s the deal…

Success Coaching is not group coaching or recorded phone
coaching, it is personal time with me, to answer your
questions about living more powerfully and to strategize and
actualize the successful life you envision.

Since I am the only one who delivers Success Coaching, I must
strictly limit the number of people I support in this way.
In fact, you can’t even register for these programs until
tomorrow!

Please put this in your calendar now:

TOMORROW– Wednesday, May 6, at noon Eastern Time.

Also, if you have friends and family you’d like to see in The
Experience, now is the time to invite them to register.

CHANCE TO REMEMBER
If you took The Experience or The Intensive sometime in the
past 30 years, you can sign up to review and still take advantage
of the complimentary Success Coaching special.

THE INTENSIVE
Also, if you have taken The Experience and are ready to dig
even deeper, live out of your vision, and really begin to “Live Out
Loud”, you’ll want to sign up for The Intensive, taking place
October 22-26. It was just announced and is already 1/3 full!

Details on Success Coaching, The Experience, and The Intensive
are all available online at www.ExperienceYourPower.com.

Beating Yourself Over the Head is NOT the Route to Happiness!

That probably sounds obvious, even ridiculous, but you’d be
surprised at how often we focus on what isn’t working, what we
don’t want, what we are sorry about, what we did wrong,
what someone else did wrong,what we have enough of…
you get the picture.

And then we wonder why we aren’t happier, why we are so lonely,
why life isn’t turning out better, how come we aren’t more successful.

Go figure!

All of that fretting and obsessing about what didn’t work in the
past or what you fear in the future keeps you from having
happiness NOW, which is the only time you really have, anyway.

And, contrary to the Newsweek article I read this morning about
the value of corporal punishment in a South Carolina school,
people are not inspired by being hit, literally, or figuratively.

Really, we’re not.

In The Experience workshop there is a lot of information and
actual experience of what it means to be in the moment and live
powerfully. You can literally transform your life in just 3
days; tens of thousands of people have done just that in the
last 30 years.

Before you even get to the workshop, here’s a
suggestion you can put to use right away:

Instead of focusing on what we might call the “negative” stuff
(yes, I know it’s just a perception), pay attention every
single day to what you are grateful for.

Choose a time every day to think of and literally write down at
least 5 things you are grateful for. Big things, little things,
funny things, things about you, things about others, spiritual
things, physical things, anything at all that matters to you.

Just take a moment to focus and write them down. Yes, writing
them down matters, don’t just run through them in your mind.

First thing in the morning or right before sleep are good
choices, but any time will do.

Just do it!

Now your mind may want to throw in the stuff that didn’t work during the day,
your perceived failures, the folks who slighted you, bla, bla, bla.

You can count on your mind to do that. Don’t worry about it.

Just let those thoughts flow by and return your attention to the task at hand,
which is remembering and noting gratitude.

When you start looking with disciplined attention for the good
in your life, you find it. And what you put your attention on
expands.

Keep focusing on what you appreciate, and you’ll have more of
it. Sounds simple. It is. And it works.

This easy process allows you to naturally begin elevating your
consciousness to the state of Abundance, which is nearly at the
top!

This is just a little tidbit from The Experience; it barely breaks
the surface of what you will achieve for yourself in the
workshop itself.

REMINDER
I’ve gotten some phone calls about the special offer, which
isn’t available until Wednesday, May 6, at 12 noon Eastern time.
Be sure to put it on your calendar now, so you can get one of these
“special benefit” spaces. Here is a recap of the details:

You can add value to your experience of The Experience or The Intensive,
and receive 3 one-on-one Success Coaching sessions ($250 value)
at no extra cost!

Here’s how the numbers work:
The early enrollment price for The Experience is $375, so this
means you get $625 in value for only $375.

The early enrollment price for The Intensive is $775, so this
means you get $1,025 in value for only $775.

Reviewers in either course get an even better deal!

Taking advantage of this offer means that after you participate
in the workshop itself, you will have my undivided attention in
the weeks afterward to ask questions, get my support as you apply
the material to your life, strategize coming out, bounce ideas around,
implement your new game plan, anything at all you want to talk about.

Also, if you have friends and family you’d like to see in The
Experience, now is the time to invite them. Be sure to speak
with them in the next few days, so they can take advantage of
this extra added value on Wednesday, May 6, at noon EDT.

The Experience takes place in beautiful Santa Fe, New Mexico.
People travel from all over the U.S. and beyond to participate
in this life-changing workshop.

Flights are cheap now, and I’ve negotiated reasonable lodging.
There is no plan to deliver The Experience anywhere else right
now, so if you want to take advantage of this terrific opportunity
to expand your life, Come On Over!

Enjoy your weekend.

Love,

Honey Ward

Are You Expanding or Contracting?

That’s really the only choice you have. There is no standing
still, and if you fool yourself into thinking otherwise, you’re
contracting.

With everything going on these days, it can be seductive to
think “if I just hold on, everything will be OK”. Maybe, maybe
not.

Just hanging on can suck the life right out of you!

As Rich Berlin of Santa Clarita, California, said after The
Experience:

“There is potential for every one of us to be fulfilled and
happy in life. If there is away to understand how to get there,
why wouldn’t you want to try it? We are all living, being ALIVE
is optional.”

Strategic action is more likely to produce the results you want.
That’s why successful people are always looking for the next
opportunity to create more of what they value, personally and
professionally.

Twice as many people took part in the March Experience workshop
as the one before. That’s no accident- in these uncertain
times, when jobs, homes, and finances seem to be in jeopardy
for so many (at least that’s the perception, and perceptions have power),
people look to invest in themselves and their futures.

Or as Benjamin Franklin wisely said, “For the best return on
your money pour your purse into your head.”

I would add, and into your heart!

The next Experience workshop is taking place August 14-17.
As always, space is strictly limited so every person gets
personalized individual attention.

Nobody gets “lost in the crowd” in the programs I lead!

I am upping the ante for this one and offering a BIG BONUS,

I am doing this so you not only get full value from The Experience,
you will have me “holding your hand” once you leave the workshop,
to help you integrate and use the material and your powerful
personal experience.

Here’s the deal…

The only way to get my undivided attention on a regular basis is
through the Success Coaching program I offer.

Success Coaching is not group coaching or recorded phone
coaching, it is one-on-one time with me, to answer your
questions about living more powerfully and to strategize and
actualize the successful life you envision.

Since I am the only one who delivers Success Coaching, I must
strictly limit the number of people I support in this way.
You understand, there are only so many hours in the day
I can devote to coaching.

I want to be sure everyone has a chance to take advantage of
this great opportunity, and everybody doesn’t read their email
at once, so I am NOT putting up the special links which
include complimentary Success Coaching now.

I’ll send more information and the links in another message,
but for now, make note of when the special goes live, so you
can be sure to take advantage of this limited offer.

Please put this in your calendar now:
Next Wednesday, May 6, at noon Eastern Time.

Also, if you have friends and family you’d like to see in The
Experience, now is the time to invite them. Be sure to speak
with them in the next few days, so they can take advantage of
this extra added value on Wednesday.

If you took The Experience sometime in the past 30 years,
you can sign up to review and still take advantage of the free
Success Coaching special.

Also, if you have taken The Experience and are ready to craft
your vision and really start to “Live Out Loud”, you’ll want to
sign up for The Intensive, taking place October 22-26.
It was just announced and is already 1/3 full!

Make it a great day!

Love,

Honey Ward

PS Don’t worry– if you have already registered for
The Experience or The Intensive, you can take advantage of
complimentary Success Coaching, too.

PPS Imagine feeling like Stephen William of Miami did,
after The Experience in March…

“I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders and I
finally know what I need to do to live a life of joy and
self-fulfillment. Being able to share my fears and concerns in
a loving and supportive environment is a liberating experience
like no other. I recommend The Experience to anyone who wants
to be a better version of who they are today.”

Here’s a little relaxation and beauty break for you..

tune offered in the Inuit language.
