April Issue No. 16 ~ Wishing Wells, Ink Wells, and Being Well
"There is a thought in your mind right now. The longer you hold on to it, the more you
dwell upon it, the more life you give to that thought. Give it enough life, and it will become
real. So make sure the thought is indeed a great one."
~ Ralph Marston, The Daily Motivator
OPENING REMARKS
Maria, our 8 year old, so enjoys making wishes and needs
little encouragement in making one -- and in believing it just might come true. When was the
last time you wished upon a star or dropped a coin in a wishing well? When you make a wish,
you create a relationship between your wish and its fulfillment. You energetically give the
wish life and plant the seeds for realizing the wish. You put out an intention for the Universe
to respond to. Why not take a moment today and make a wish? Are you wishing for
enhanced health, work, housing, or a healthy, loving relationship? Remember to be
thoughtful, deliberate and specific in your wish making.
We hope you enjoy this issue of tips, blips, blurbs, and articles!
May Your Wishes Come True,
June Soyka Cook

unconsciousness back into. . .

At a recent workout with a personal trainer who has participated in a laughter club

This Month's Holistic Prayers
Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle,
and the life of the candle will not be shortened.
Happiness never decreases by being shared.
~ Buddha
Every day is a fresh beginning,
Listen my soul to the glad refrain.
And, spite of old sorrows
And older sinning,
Troubles forecasted
And possible pain,
Take heart with the day and begin again.
~ Susan Coolidge, author (1835-1905)
