			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you haven’t read Steve’s blog entry announcing our separation and plans to divorce, you can read it <a href="http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2009/10/separation/" target="_blank">here</a>.  I won’t rehash everything that was said in his entry since it’s already been written and I agree with everything he wrote.  I know people have expressed concern and want to hear from me, so that’s what this entry will accomplish, plus it should answer a few questions that have been emailed to me.</p>
<p><strong>Mutual Decision<br />
</strong>Our decision to end the marriage was definitely mutual.  I haven’t been kicked to the curb, cast out, or anything like that.  Our desires in life are no longer as compatible as they were in our early years.  We both want to live in ways that the other is not interested in, so we were constantly compromising what we wanted to make the other person happy, which left neither of us truly happy.  I urge you to examine your own situation to see if anything like that is happening in your relationship.  Do you have to quell your strongest desires in order to be with your committed partner?  While there is something to be said for honoring a commitment, there is no way to know long ago what you might want today.  When you’re no longer compatible or desire the same things in life, I think it’s time to let go and find your true happiness.</p>
<p><strong>What We Still Share</strong><br />
Steve and I are still friends.  We enjoy each other’s company, and still have a lot in common.  We both share a strong desire to help raise the consciousness of the planet.  For me, I want to help people reconnect with their higher selves, remember where they came from, and realize that we are all connected and we are all One.  Our life purposes are still quite compatible.  That isn’t enough to maintain a marriage or living arrangement though.  This is why, at least for the time being, we intend to continue working together and helping each other with our goals and missions in life.</p>
<p><strong>Did you see it coming?<br />
</strong>Some people want to know if I saw this coming because I’m psychic.  I saw this coming because I was there.  It didn’t take foresight to see that we were both compromising our desires to meet in the middle.  But it did take courage and conscious thought to realize our commitment to the institution of marriage wasn’t nearly as important as our commitment to our passions, desires, and goals.  The marriage had to go so we could both express ourselves freely and fully.</p>
<p><strong>But aren’t you sad?<br />
</strong>I’m sad about some things and very happy about others.  My friend, Vicki, helped me see that what I was grieving was the old story, and how I thought that story would end.  Metaphorically, it’s like I was writing a book and someone just took the book out of my hand and handed me a blank set of pages.  I have a new story to write.  Doesn’t mean the old story wasn’t great, I just need to take the story in a new and more powerful direction.  I’m not depressed and I’m not spending my days in tears.  There is a definite relief in the fact that we are keeping what’s best about us and removing the thorns that caused us to bleed.  If sadness wants to come, I will let it and honor it.  If anger wants to come, I will let it and honor it.  I will keep myself open and let the emotions run through me and not bury them.  I have the most amazing friends who have been supportive and loving, and I truly appreciate all the well wishes I’ve received since we made our announcement.</p>
<p><strong>What about the kids?<br />
</strong>We know that separation is hard on children.  We believe that staying in a marriage with lots of conflict is worse.  We believe we’ll both relate to the children better because we’ll both be happier people.  I am keeping a close eye on the children.  We’re doing a lot of talking and processing.  In the coming weeks I’ll be looking for resources and information on how to help children cope with divorce.  They will be loved and nurtured.  And if they need more help, they’ll get it.  Their teachers and school counselors are aware of our situation and I’m communicating daily with them to make sure the kids are doing okay.  There is a lot of laughter in our home, and I’m making sure the kids can openly express their true feelings towards us both so they feel heard.  We’ll do the best we can with what we’ve got to work with.  And we will heal.</p>
<p><strong>What about plans for your business?<br />
</strong>Like Steve mentioned, it’s business as usual here.  I’m helping him plan the logistics for the upcoming <a href="http://www.stevepavlina.com/conscious-growth-workshop/" target="_blank">workshop</a>.  I’d like to speak at the next workshop, especially to share what we’ve learned in the relationship segment.  I’m still doing <a href="http://www.erinpavlina.com/book-reading.htm" target="_blank">readings</a>, I’ll still write blog entries, and I’ll probably finally get around to writing a book or making that audio program that’s been languishing in my mind for eons.  The kids are in school during the week, so my working hours will remain largely the same.  I’ll be keeping my married name as that is what I’ve built my brand on.  And who knows what else lurks on the horizon for me.  The possibilities are endless!</p>
<p><strong>Love and Support<br />
</strong>I want to thank everyone who emailed me or posted their support in our <a href="http://www.stevepavlina.com/forums">forums</a>, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/erinpavlina" target="_blank">facebook</a>, and <a href="http://www.twitter.com/erinpavlina" target="_blank">twitter</a>.  It means a lot to me to have your love and support.  I’m especially touched by the people I’ve helped over the years who are reaching back to help me now.  I gratefully accept your kindness, love and support.  Like I mentioned I have the most amazing friends, including my Toastmaster friends and the ladies in my mastermind group.  My family has been very supportive as well. </p>
<p>Yes there is some sadness for what will never be, but there is also great joy in the endless possibilities that await me.  The story continues, though some of the characters may change.  The river draws me in a new direction and I will explore it daringly, while still remembering where I came from, and that I am always loved.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>About a month ago Steve and I did an interview for the Alison and Jaye show.  Alison and Jaye are clients of mine from Dubai who are also raw foodists and very lovely people.  They were traveling through America and made a stop in to see us, so we decided to do an interview for their show.  They’ve posted that interview online, which is about 35 minutes long.  Watch the interview here:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.alison-andrews.com/developing-psychic-ability.html" target="_blank">Developing Psychic Abilities – An Interview with Erin and Steve Pavlina</a></p>
<p>This was my first filmed interview, and we had a lot of fun doing it.  I’ve been wanting to foray into more speaking and interviews, so between this interview and the <a href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/Janice-Marie-Wilson/2009/09/07/BEAT-THE-MONDAY-MORNING-BLUES-WITH-JANICE-MARIE-WILSON" target="_blank">radio show</a> I did a few days ago, plus the <a href="http://www.stevepavlina.com/conscious-growth-workshop" target="_blank">workshop</a> coming up in Vegas, I’m manifesting my goal nicely.  I can be a lot more expressive and connected with my audience by doing interviews and workshops, so that’s something I want to do continue doing.</p>
<p>Hope you enjoy!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some of you are probably already aware that Steve is doing a workshop here in Las Vegas this coming October.  In case you only read my blog and not his, I wanted to give you the details so you can avail yourself of this amazing workshop.</p>
<p>The dates are October 2-4 (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) and the event will be held at Harrah’s Hotel and Casino on the Las Vegas Strip.  All the information you need to decide whether this would be a good workshop for you to attend can be found here:  <a href="http://www.stevepavlina.com/conscious-growth-workshop/" target="_blank">Conscious Growth Workshop Information</a></p>
<p>I&#8217;ll be at the workshop to help facilitate it.  I’ll also be doing a limited number of in-person readings the day before and the day after (Oct 1 and Oct 5) but I won’t be doing readings during the workshop.  If you’re coming to the workshop and would like to book a reading with me, use my <a href="http://www.erinpavlina.com/contact.php" target="_blank">contact form</a> to check my availability first.</p>
<p>The workshop is going to be intense and interesting, and I think you’ll come away with some shifts in your thinking that will help you move forward in the areas of career, relationships, health, spirituality, and more.  I’d love to see you all there and meet you in person!  It&#8217;s going to be an awesome workshop.  Don&#8217;t miss out! <img src='http://www.erinpavlina.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am officially taking my vegan cookbook, <a href="http://www.veganfamilyfavorites.com" target="_blank">Vegan Family Favorites</a>, out of print. </p>
<p>But fear not, I&#8217;ve transformed it into an ebook as I&#8217;ve had a lot of demand from people overseas who want the book but for which shipping was prohibitive.  The best thing about the ebook format is that you can either print out the entire book or just print out the recipes you want to make.  I keep my favorite recipes in a folder in my kitchen.  It doesn&#8217;t take up as much room as an actual book, and I can just pull out a recipe and lay it flat on my counter.</p>
<p>Vegan Family Favorites contains about 200 recipes that are easy to make, sinfully delicious, and just so tasty.  The recipes were sent in by vegan families all over the world and were tested by other vegan families to make sure they were all good.</p>
<p>You can view photos of every recipe in the book to whet your appetite:  <a href="http://www.veganfamilyfavorites.com/photos.php" target="_blank">Recipe Photos</a></p>
<p>Even if you&#8217;re not vegan I truly believe you&#8217;ll love these recipes.  Non-vegan family and friends go crazy nutso for many of the recipes in the book.  This is an especially good cookbook for those flirting with or transitioning to a vegan diet.  Comfort foods, simple normal ingredients that you have in your kitchen, and most recipes can be made in just minutes.  And if you have children, this book is excellent for helping them eat healthier versions of old family favorites.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Steve and I wll be in the San Francisco, Emeryville, Berkeley, California area on January 23-26.  I will be doing in-person <a href="http://www.erinpavlina.com/book-reading.htm" target="_blank">readings</a> at our hotel.  If you are interested in having a reading, please <a href="http://www.erinpavlina.com/contact.php" target="_blank">contact me</a> first to check my availability.</p>
<p>You can bring two people to a one-hour reading, where each of you get 30 minutes, thus cutting your individual cost.  So think about that as an option if you&#8217;d like.  Otherwise, in-person readings are one hour for one person.</p>
<p>We&#8217;re looking forward to meeting with friends and checking out Cafe Gratitude.  And we love the Exploratorium so we&#8217;ll probably spend at least half a day there.  We also plan to roam around Berkeley a little as well.  If anyone has any other bright ideas for what to do there, please drop me an <a href="http://www.erinpavlina.com/contact.php" target="_blank">email</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ll be in Los Angeles for the Thanksgiving weekend coming up.  I&#8217;ve set aside some time on Saturday, November 29 to do in-person readings.  If you&#8217;d like a reading please <a href="http://www.erinpavlina.com/contact.php" target="_blank">contact me</a> before booking so we can go over the schedule and find a time that works for both of us.  I don&#8217;t have a location for the readings yet as demand will determine where I go, but it will most likely be in the San Fernando Valley area or possibly in the Hollywood area.  In-person readings are 1 hour, which gives us a great chance to go over all the areas of your life and possibly connect with a deceased relative or two.  You can also get together with a friend and share the reading time, 30 minutes for each of you.  I would read for each of you privately, however, one right after the other.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This past weekend I attended the <a href="http://mishkaproductions.com/celebrate-your-life-2008-phoenix/index.php" target="_blank">Celebrate Your Life</a> Conference in Phoenix, Arizona.  This was the first time I attended this particular conference.  The draw, for me, was an all-day workshop with spiritual medium, <a href="http://vanpraagh.com/" target="_blank">James Van Praagh</a>.  Although he was teaching a basic medium course, I still felt I would gain some insights into this part of my gift and perhaps discover ways to enhance it.  I&#8217;ve never been officially &#8220;trained&#8221; as a medium, the ability comes naturally to me, but I don&#8217;t connect with the deceased in every reading I do, and it&#8217;s an area where I want to improve.  The entire weekend turned out to have great meaning for me.  In this article I&#8217;ll share the insights I gained and also comment on the speakers whose lectures I attended.</p>
<p>First of all, before I went to this conference my guides said this to me:  &#8220;This will be the last conference you attend as a student.  After this, you will teach.  You&#8217;re ready, and you&#8217;ll see it at this conference.&#8221;  I wasn&#8217;t so sure before I went, but by the end I understood that I am indeed ready to teach.  More on that later.</p>
<p>On the drive to Phoenix I listened to the CD&#8217;s from the Las Vegas I Can Do It conference, which are a great way to pass the time while also learning something of value.  I listened to Sonia Choquette on the way there, and Dr. Darren Weissman and Bruce Lipton, M.D. on the way back.  All good stuff!</p>
<p>On Friday I eagerly got my seat for the all-day James Van Praagh workshop.  James turned on some music and had us all dancing.  It was lively and energetic and fun.  In the morning, we learned about chakras and James also answered a lot of questions.  What occurred to me in that moment was that I would have answered the questions in much the same way he did.  This has been happening to me for the last 2 years or so.  I realize that I do indeed have a lot of knowledge and I felt myself very eager to answer questions for others.  While doing a chakra/body scan on the woman sitting next to me (who was to be my partner for the day), I started picking up on some of her &#8220;stuff.&#8221;  I can&#8217;t help it.  When I&#8217;m already in someone&#8217;s energy that closely, the clairvoyance just comes.  I told her she was going through a sad break up and not to blame herself.  She was shocked that I knew both of those facts, but it was very much on her mind, sort of at the forefront of her aura, and I was right up in there.  I didn&#8217;t probe more deeply though.</p>
<p>James took us through several meditations.  One was to meet our guides.  My conduit guide, Bob, sat next to me the entire time I was in the workshop.  I thought that was sort of odd, but he seemed to want to be present and attend.</p>
<p>James next took us through a psychometry exercise.  We were told to give our partner something that had a lot of our energy on it.  I gave my partner a ring and she accurately picked up that it belonged to my grandmother and that there was both love and sadness attached to the ring, which confused her.  She didn&#8217;t know it when she read for me, but I wear my grandmother&#8217;s ring because my wedding ring was stolen.  So every time I see my grandmother&#8217;s ring there&#8217;s a part of me that still feels sad that my actual wedding ring is lost forever.  The item my partner gave me to hold was a small zippered case, like a makeup case.  I wasn&#8217;t getting much on it though, and that really surprised me because I&#8217;m usually at least decent with psychometry.  All I got from it was that she was alone when she bought it and that she kept really important items in there.  She told me that this was the very first time she was using the purse (thus the lack of imprinted energy) but that indeed she was alone when she bought it and that day she had something extremely important inside it that she really didn&#8217;t want to lose.</p>
<p>Next James took us through a telepathy exercise.  Oooh, what fun!  I don&#8217;t have much experience with trying to be telepathic.  My telepathic moments are usually with Steve and they come unbidden, so to do this on command seemed really neat.  James thought of an object and cast the thought onto the ceiling.  In my mind&#8217;s eye I saw a white rocket, with the pointy end on top and a wider base, like the space shuttle or just a white rocket.  James was casting the Eiffel Tower at the group.  So I definitely got the shape and probably the color but not the exact object.  In the next round I saw a ball of light, and he was casting a baseball at us.  Shape correct, object not.  Next he cast us a red convertible car, and I didn&#8217;t actually pick up anything at all.  He did a fourth object which escapes me at the moment but I didn&#8217;t get that one either.  Still it was really neat.</p>
<p>We broke for lunch and when we returned he said we were going to work on mediumship.  This was what I came for!  He gave us a few techniques but I already knew the techniques from my own work as a medium, so all that was left was to try it out on my partner.  When I tuned in I saw two separate people but she didn&#8217;t recognize either of them.  Talk about a shock!  I was so sure they were there.  All I can think of is that everyone in the room was contacting dead relatives and I suppose it&#8217;s possible I was picking up on someone else&#8217;s deceased.  But to say I was disappointed is an understatement.  On the next round he told our partners to give us the first name only of a specific relative they wanted to hear from.  She gave me the name and the floodgate of info just opened.  I picked up on so much correct information.  Nothing I told her was incorrect.  I was flying!  I could have kept right on going too, this spirit was coming in very strongly.  I think having a name to tune in to was very helpful in pinpointing the specific energy in a room full of people contacting the deceased.</p>
<p>Then James did readings for several people in the room.  The most interesting thing that happened was that while he was reading for someone else I realized the messages coming through for that person were also for me.  Everything he said related to me and my family and my personal situation.  And the message that came through for that other woman … &#8220;It&#8217;s time for you to teach.  You&#8217;re not a student any longer.&#8221;  That was my first synchronistic moment.  He mentioned that, on the other side, teaching is considered one of the most honored things you can do with your life.  The message hit me square in the head.</p>
<p>The workshop was fabulous.  James has a very caring heart and spirit.  His compassion came through the entire day.</p>
<p>The next morning Wayne Dyer was giving a presentation I&#8217;d seen before so I decided to skip it.  But while I was sitting in my room I got a strong message from my guides to go get a toe reading.  A toe reading?  Yep, that&#8217;s what I thought.  Sounds pretty hokey.  But they had a group of people doing free toe readings for all conference participants and my guides were adamant that I go.  I figured that with everyone else watching Wayne there might be no line, so I got off my keister and went downstairs to the vendor area.</p>
<p>Sure enough, no one was in line, but the two women manning the toe reading booth told me they weren&#8217;t allowed to do readings during sessions.  But I just knew I had to have the toe reading so I pleaded, cajoled, and persuaded and one of the women said, &#8220;I&#8217;ll do your reading but if I get in trouble you have to bear the karma.&#8221;  She said this jokingly and I agreed.  I took my feet out of my shoes and placed them flat on the mat and she started the reading.  What I thought would be really hokey turned into my second synchronicity.  Some of what she told me was this:  &#8220;You have a straight connection with the other side, but you must share the knowledge of this gift with others.  You are not a student any longer, you must now teach.&#8221;  Sound familiar?  She told me I had tremendous presence and she could see me speaking on a stage, teaching about psychic abilities and other spiritual wisdoms.  She had no idea who she was talking to, but she accurately picked up on many things in my life.  She knew that I had a hard time grounding myself.  And she knew that money was not an issue for me.  She also told me I had a relationship with someone else who would draw me onto the stage with him.  (Hmm, anyone we know come to mind?).  She didn&#8217;t even know what I did for a living yet she accurately picked up on that as well.  She mentioned that besides being a toe reader she was also a psychic and she was picking up on a lot of information about me.  So, the toes have it.  I left feeling like I had been smacked on the head with yet another message.</p>
<p>I went to a couple of really great sessions after that.  First up was <a href="http://www.greggbraden.com/" target="_blank">Gregg Braden</a>.  Gregg is an incredible speaker.  He could have been talking about making a peanut butter sandwich and it would have been fun, captivating, and stimulating.  But he was talking about the shift that&#8217;s coming in 2012, how the earth is changing, and the spiritual awakening or transformation that&#8217;s coming.  If you ever get a chance to hear Gregg Braden speak, take it.  I wasn&#8217;t bored for a second and sincerely could have listened to him the entire day and then some.  I immediately decided I need to read all of his books.  I met Gregg at the author dinner in October at the Hay House conference, but at that point I hadn&#8217;t really heard him speak.  If I had known I was sitting near a god I would have spent more time picking his brain. :)  Sigh.</p>
<p>That day some other interesting things happened.  There was a guy in James&#8217; workshop from the Omega Institute and my guides told me I had to talk to him about something, but I wasn&#8217;t sure what.  I kept walking past this guy but since I didn&#8217;t know what the guides wanted me to discuss with him I never stepped up to talk to him.  Finally on Saturday afternoon I was headed up an escalator to go back to my room in between sessions.  As soon as I got to the top of the escalator my intuition told me to turn my little self around and go back down.  Why?  As soon as I got to the bottom of the escalator I saw the Omega man again.  I walked right up to him and introduced myself and then I just let nature take its course.  At some point during our conversation I mentioned Steve, Hay House, Steve&#8217;s book, and speaking and he became very interested.  By the time we were done, he had asked for my card and told me he would be in touch.  I&#8217;m not sure, yet, what the Omega Institute is but perhaps I laid some foundation for something. </p>
<p>When I left him I ran into John Holland, so I went up to say hello and give him a hug.  We chatted briefly but he was actually on his way to his own workshop and was lost so was in a bit of a hurry to find the room he was supposed to be speaking in.  He figured out his map and was on his way.  Just as I was getting ready to head into my own session, with James Twyman, I saw Cheryl Richardson and James Van Praagh head to the elevators.  I really wanted to go introduce myself to James, thus completing my dream of actually meeting all the famous psychic mediums practicing today (John Edward, John Holland, Lisa Williams, Sylvia Browne, and Colette Baron-Reid) but my ego said, &#8220;He&#8217;s standing by the elevator.  You&#8217;ve got, what, maybe 30 seconds to chat with him?  Not worth it and how awkward would it be if his elevator came while you were still introducing yourself.  Don&#8217;t do it.  You&#8217;ll just embarrass yourself.&#8221;  But my intuition said, &#8220;Go, go now.&#8221;  So I walked boldly up to the duo and said hello to Cheryl, who remembered me from the Hay House dinner as well.  Then I introduced myself to James who was very friendly, and we talked about whether he had any advanced medium courses I could take that would give me more of a one-on-one instruction.  Somehow, their elevator just didn&#8217;t seem to want to come (thank you guides!) so I ended up chatting with them for probably 5 minutes.  I finished saying what I had to say and walked off.  Just then I heard the &#8220;ding&#8221; of their elevator arriving.  So in the span of 15 minutes I had spoken to the Omega Institute man, John Holland, Cheryl Richardson, and James Van Praagh.  And silly me was on my way upstairs to rest in between sessions.  Pffft.  Always go with the gut ya&#8217;ll.  It was in that moment that I realized how far I&#8217;ve come, and that I am indeed ready to teach.  I feel totally comfortable around people I used to idolize a few years back.  And I know I&#8217;m a vibrational match for this next step.</p>
<p>The next day I saw John Holland, Gary Zukav, and Byron Katie.  All quite enjoyable experiences.  I noticed John Holland sitting in the same row as me for the panel discussion at the end of the conference, so I got a chance to say goodbye to him as well, which was a nice way to end the conference for me. </p>
<p>This conference was the cap on the <a href="http://www.erinpavlina.com/blog/2008/10/transformational-weekend/" target="_blank">transformational experience</a> I had at the last I Can Do It conference.  I realize that I&#8217;m ready for a one-to-many approach now.  Even though I still have some fear of public speaking, I am feeling a strong desire to teach this work, and that&#8217;s a far stronger feeling than my fear.  I&#8217;m going to be stepping up my speaking by doing longer speeches in my Toastmaster club and doing a workshop locally on psychic development.  Please continue to <a href="http://www.erinpavlina.com/travel.php" target="_blank">let me know</a> if you&#8217;d like to me to come to your city and do a workshop.  And make sure you&#8217;re signed up for my <a href="http://www.erinpavlina.com/newsletter.htm" target="_blank">newsletter</a> to find out when I&#8217;m doing a workshop here in Las Vegas.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll also be working on audio products over this next year as well. Stay tuned because it&#8217;s going to be a wonderful year!  And hey, I just realized I&#8217;m posting this on 11-11.  How appropos!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Coming to Phoenix<br />
</strong>I&#8217;ll be in Phoenix, AZ from November 6th to the 10th.  If you live in that area and would like to get an <a href="http://www.erinpavlina.com/book-reading.htm" target="_blank">intuitive reading</a> with me, please <a href="http://www.erinpavlina.com/contact.php" target="_blank">contact me</a> to arrange an appointment.  I&#8217;ll be attending the <a href="http://mishkaproductions.com/celebrate-your-life-2008-phoenix/index.php" target="_blank">Celebrate Your Life</a> conference.  I&#8217;m excited because James Van Praagh is teaching a medium course all day Friday.  He&#8217;s one of the few psychic mediums I haven&#8217;t met yet, so I&#8217;m excited to connect with him and enhance my medium abilities.  Many of the Hay House authors will be speaking there as well.</p>
<p><strong>Travel Schedule</strong><br />
How would you like me to come to your city to do a workshop, seminar, or for private readings?  <a href="http://www.erinpavlina.com/travel.php" target="_blank">Request it</a>!  I&#8217;ve put up a <a href="http://www.erinpavlina.com/travel.php" target="_blank">form</a> you can use to indicate what city you&#8217;d like me to visit.  As I plan my travel schedule for 2009 I&#8217;ll take into consideration areas with the highest concentration of requests.  Perhaps Steve and I will do a workshop/seminar together as well.</p>
<p><strong>Newsletter<br />
</strong>I&#8217;m going to be sending out my newsletter more regularly now.  The newsletter is going to contain news, articles, exercises, inspiration, and information not already found on the blog or site, so if you&#8217;re not already signed up you can do so <a href="http://www.erinpavlina.com/newsletter.htm" target="_blank">here</a>.  Don&#8217;t miss a newsletter!  I&#8217;ll probably send them out once or twice a month.</p>
<p><strong>Products</strong><br />
I know I&#8217;ve been talking about putting out an audio program or other product for more than a year now!  Wow, time flies.  But I&#8217;ve finally nailed down the product due to the high demand for this information.  I&#8217;ll be doing an audio program all about spirit guides: who are they, how to contact them, and it will include meditations for you to use on your own so you can talk to them yourselves.  It&#8217;s going to be thorough, wonderful and affordable! </p>
<p><strong>Thank You<br />
</strong>I really enjoy the wonderful and positive feedback I get from my readers.  It really warms my heart to know I&#8217;ve connected with so many of you and that the articles on my site are inspiring and helpful.  It&#8217;s rare that someone will send me negative feedback, so I feel very blessed to receive such positive communication.  For those of you who have sent me loving emails that encourage me to continue this work, thank you!  To everyone who emails me with questions, sometimes I need to refer you to the forums and sometimes you catch me at just the right time to get a long in-depth answer.  I do read all of my email, but sometimes there is just too much, or the questions would require a book to answer properly.  Thank you for your understanding.</p>
<p><strong>Transformation</strong><br />
I mentioned briefly in my blog entry, <a href="http://www.erinpavlina.com/blog/2008/10/transformational-weekend/" target="_blank">Transformational Weekend</a>, that I&#8217;m going through, well, a transformation.  I&#8217;m becoming more clear about the message I&#8217;m here to express, and I&#8217;m discerning new paths and new ways to express that message.  As I process it all, I will share it, but I&#8217;m seeing some really interesting things coming up for myself in the future.  Stay tuned and join me on the journey.</p>
<p><strong>Forums</strong><br />
I want to encourage you to visit the forums and to participate if you feel like it.  I have found the <a href="http://www.stevepavlina.com/forums" target="_blank">Personal Development for Smart People forums</a> to be quite unlike most discussion boards.  You will find a mature group of intelligent people who are highly aware and eager to explore life.  Maybe you&#8217;ll get some help with a problem you have, or perhaps you can help another with a problem.  It&#8217;s a great community.  Don&#8217;t be shy, jump on into the conversation.</p>
<p>Have a blessed day.  Spread some joy! <img src='http://www.erinpavlina.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just a reminder that if you are going to the <a href="http://tampa2008.icandoit.net/" target="_blank">I Can Do It</a> conference next week in <strong>Tampa</strong>, Florida that I am available for an in-person <a href="http://www.erinpavlina.com/order.php" target="_blank">reading</a>.  If you aren&#8217;t going to the conference but live in the area, you can book an in-person reading as well.  We&#8217;ll be there from Thursday to Monday and I still have a few slots open for readings.  That&#8217;s October 2-6, 2008. </p>
<p>If you haven&#8217;t heard about the <a href="http://tampa2008.icandoit.net/" target="_blank">I Can Do It</a> conference, you may be quite interested in attending.  Dozens of great speakers and workshops too.  Steve will be doing a presentation on Sunday, October 5 at 11am that you don&#8217;t want to miss. <img src='http://www.erinpavlina.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>In November, I will be in <strong>Phoenix</strong>, Arizona attending the <a href="http://mishkaproductions.com/celebrate-your-life-2008-phoenix/index.php" target="_blank">Celebrate Your Life</a> conference.  There are a lot of <a href="http://www.hayhouse.com" target="_blank">Hay House</a> speakers doing presentations.  Mainly I&#8217;m going for the James Van Praagh workshop on Friday, November 7th.  Plus I&#8217;ll get to see many of my favorite authors including John Holland and Gary Renard.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;d like to book an in-person reading during either of these conferences, please use my <a href="http://www.erinpavlina.com/contact.php" target="_blank">contact form</a> to let me know you&#8217;re interested and to make sure I can fit you into the schedule.  And if you&#8217;re planning to attend but don&#8217;t want a reading, you can still say hi when/if you see me.  Steve and I love meeting our readers. <img src='http://www.erinpavlina.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some of you may already be aware that my husband, <a href="http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog" target="_blank">Steve Pavlina</a>, has written a book called <em><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1401922759/105-9229573-7870842?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;tag=dexteritysoft-20&amp;amp;linkCode=xm2&amp;amp;camp=1789&amp;amp;creativeASIN=1401922759" target="_blank">Personal Development for Smart People</a></em>.  It was due for an October release but someone jumped the gun a little and we&#8217;ve been made aware that the book is now shipping at Amazon and is in some bookstores already. </p>
<p>Of course I’m a little biased, but this is a fabulous book because the principles Steve discusses can be applied to any area of your life, such as career, relationships, health, finances, and more.  So instead of reading a book about relationships and reading another book about how to find the career that will make you happiest, you can get what you need from this book.</p>
<p>The three main principles in the book, Truth, Love and Power, can be used to derive the other four principles which are Oneness, Authority, Courage, and Intelligence.  What I&#8217;ve found personally interesting is that when I&#8217;m doing an <a href="http://www.erinpavlina.com/book-reading.htm" target="_blank">intuitive reading</a> for one of my clients I will see which principle is causing them problems.  For example, I read for many people who have outwardly successful careers (Power) but they hate their jobs (Love).  I also read for people who are very in tune with Love and Truth, but can&#8217;t seem to accomplish their goals (Power) or who lack the Authority to get them moving in a direction that is better for themselves.  And frequently I will encounter someone who is not aligned with Truth as they are in denial of an aspect of their lives they&#8217;re not ready to deal with yet.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1401922759/105-9229573-7870842?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;tag=dexteritysoft-20&amp;amp;linkCode=xm2&amp;amp;camp=1789&amp;amp;creativeASIN=1401922759" target="_blank"><em>Personal Development for Smart People</em></a> contains interesting and insightful exercises you can do to increase your alignment with and understanding of the seven principles.  I&#8217;ve done several of the exercises over the years, and I&#8217;m actually looking forward to trying out all of them at some point.  I&#8217;ve always had breakthroughs in my own life when doing one of the exercises.</p>
<p>I think the book will be of real benefit to anyone who is seeking a tool for consciously crafting and creating their best life.  I suggest reading it slowly to absorb each principle, or reading through it more quickly and then going back to study the areas you want to work on more intently. </p>
<p>You can read the first chapter online <a href="http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2008/09/free-sample-chapter-of-personal-development-for-smart-people/" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p>Or you can order the book through <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1401922759/105-9229573-7870842?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;tag=dexteritysoft-20&amp;amp;linkCode=xm2&amp;amp;camp=1789&amp;amp;creativeASIN=1401922759" target="_blank">Amazon.com</a>.  The book is on its way to bookstores, but there&#8217;s no telling whether your local bookstore has ordered copies yet or when they will arrive so right now <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1401922759/105-9229573-7870842?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;tag=dexteritysoft-20&amp;amp;linkCode=xm2&amp;amp;camp=1789&amp;amp;creativeASIN=1401922759" target="_blank">Amazon.com</a> might be the fastest way to get it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I will be attending the <a href="http://www.icandoit.net/" target="_blank">I Can Do It </a>conference with Steve in Tampa, Florida the weekend of Oct 3-5.  Like the conference in Las Vegas, I&#8217;ll be doing private in-person readings at the hotel during the conference.  If you&#8217;re attending and you&#8217;d like to book a reading, please <a href="http://www.erinpavlina.com/contact.php" target="_blank">contact me</a> before you place your order so I can find you the appointment that will work best.</p>
<p>The conference is going to be just wonderful, so I highly encourage you to attend if you&#8217;re interested in personal and spiritual development.  So many authors, so little time. <img src='http://www.erinpavlina.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>During the conference, there will likely be a meet up for fans of both our sites.  It&#8217;s a great way to meet other people who share your interests.  So if you know you&#8217;re going to be there and want to hook up with other fans, <a href="http://www.erinpavlina.com/contact.php" target="_blank">contact me</a> and we&#8217;ll keep you abreast of location and time.</p>
<p>Steve will be presenting ideas from his book, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1401922759/105-9229573-7870842?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=dexteritysoft-20&amp;linkCode=xm2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creativeASIN=1401922759" target="_blank">Personal Development for Smart People</a>.  And this time he&#8217;ll be signing books afterward, so you&#8217;ll get a chance to meet him and get an autograph, and perhaps time to ask him a question.</p>
<p>See ya&#8217;ll in Tampa!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>60-Minute Intuitive Reading Option Now Available<br />
</strong>Due to high demand I&#8217;ve created an option for a 60-Minute Intuitive Phone Reading.  Most people who wanted the full hour were booking the Combo option where you got a reading and consultation, but I can see now that a 60-Minute all intuitive reading option is desired.   You can still book a Reading/Consultation combo if you like.  During a consultation you are speaking with me; I am not tuned in to your guides.  Many people use the consult option to discuss paranormal events that are happening to them, or to get specific personalized meditations, or to get my opinion on various situations in their lives, and even to learn how to become a professional psychic medium.   <a href="http://www.erinpavlina.com/order.php" target="_blank">Book a reading here</a>.</p>
<p><strong>No June Hiatus</strong><br />
Also due to high demand, I ended up not taking a hiatus in June though I did scale back on my schedule a bit.  If you were waiting until July to book your reading, you&#8217;ll want to <a href="http://www.erinpavlina.com/order.php" target="_blank">book now</a> as I am beginning to book for July.</p>
<p><strong>I Can Do It Conference<br />
</strong>Thank you to everyone who has booked a reading during the <a href="http://www.icandoit.net/" target="_blank">I Can Do It</a> conference.  My schedule is now full so I won&#8217;t be able to read for you during the conference if you haven&#8217;t already booked.  If you aren&#8217;t familiar with the I Can Do It conference it&#8217;s a wonderful conference where you get to hear many of the best authors in spirituality, quantum physics, and personal development.  It&#8217;s an uplifting conference and I highly recommend it.  My husband, <a href="http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog" target="_blank">Steve Pavlina</a>, will be doing a presentation on Sunday, June 29, 2008 at the conference, where he will be discussing the principles from his upcoming book, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Personal-Development-Smart-People-Conscious/dp/1401922759/" target="_blank"><em>Personal</em> <em>Development for Smart People</em></a>.  It&#8217;s going to be wonderful.  Don&#8217;t miss!  He&#8217;ll be giving the same presentation in Tampa, Florida later this year in October.  If you see Steve or me at the conference, please come up and say hello.  Don&#8217;t be shy.  We like meeting our readers in person.  We&#8217;re going to try to get to as many sessions as we can but Hay House has Steve booked almost the entire conference so we&#8217;ll see.</p>
<p><strong>Audio Program</strong><br />
I know you&#8217;ve been waiting patiently for my audio program.  We decided the first program is going to be on Lucid Dreaming.  After that I&#8217;ll probably do one on Psychic Development.  Thanks for your patience!  Once the kids are back in school full time I&#8217;ll be up to full speed again.</p>
<p><strong>Answering Email</strong><br />
I&#8217;m getting more and more email these days.  I still read everything but I can&#8217;t always respond to lengthy requests for help.  Please visit our <a href="http://www.stevepavlina.com/forums" target="_blank">forums</a> if you have a question.  The forum members are amazing individuals who are kind, non-judgmental, caring, and extremely helpful and wise.  If you want my personal take on your situation, <a href="http://www.erinpavlina.com/order.php" target="_blank">book a consultation or a reading</a> and we can go in depth on your particular situation.</p>
<p><strong>Spirit Channeling Session</strong><br />
A short while ago you all submitted questions for the channeling session I am planning to do.  I thought I&#8217;d be able to finish that by the end of June but it doesn&#8217;t look good.  I will have more time after the conference and I&#8217;ll get to it then. </p>
<p><strong>Thank You for Sharing<br />
</strong>Thank you for reading my blog and sharing it with your friends, coworkers, and family.  I appreciate those of you who take the time to Stumble the site and email articles to your friends.  Your efforts help to increase my traffic.  Click on the &#8220;Share This&#8221; link at the end of the articles that inspire you so they can inspire others as well. <img src='http://www.erinpavlina.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
