"7 Steps to Accelerated Manifesting" with Kendra Thornbury
In this uplifting and energizing time with Kendra, you will learn 7 steps that will
uplevel your life and business the minute you implement them.
Through the power of what Kendra will share, you can immediately begin to:
*Increase your speed to freedom
*Know peace now rather than later
*Progress to abundance quicker
*Reduce the time it's taking you to succeed
You will leave this time feeling a renewed connection with your purpose and equipped to take the next steps that will make you a natural manifestor. (i.e. That means you create what you want!)
Some of what Kendra will reveal:
1. What THE Most Important Thing Is That Informs Your Results
2. 3 Tips for Visioning
3. A 3-Step Process for Ridding Yourself Of Fear & Doubt
4. How To Harness The "Powers of the Universe" To Create Greater Ease
5. The Role Your BEING Has In Your Success
Kendra is an internationally acclaimed coach, humanitarian and spiritual guide. Her journey to joy and abundance has come from tried and true experience. In her early 20's, she was diagnosed with Epilepsy, which put her on a quest for health, happiness and fulfillment. Rather than shrink with her diagnosis, ongoing seizures, and depression, she committed to living as fully as possible, devouring information and experiences to transcend limitations associated with living with 'illness', using her diagnosis as a wake up call and opportunity. As such, she is well versed in what it takes for people to live at their optimum and be alive!
Through her travels, personal and spiritual journeys - such as her 6-day solo Vision Quest in Baja California, Mexico in 2003 & volunteer work in Nigeria, Africa - she has gained a keen understanding of key life principles, Universal laws and practices that lead to a purposeful, authentic and joyful life.
Today, Kendra leads thousands of people to transform their perceived limits, create happiness, and be fully alive. In particular she helps spiritually-oriented successful women bring their authentic self to life and business so they thrive in joy while creating prosperity.
She is quickly becoming known as a leader in spiritual thought, practice and the Law of Attraction and is writing her first book.

From our January Meeting
Cherie Tucker facilitated a lively discussion at our Wednesday meeting. Her presentation on improving writing skills was a good reminder that writing properly is a skill that needs to be practiced! She reminded us that writing was like picking the proper clothes to wear: you have to know the message you are trying to get across before you know how to write it.
In addition to her regular teaching of language and writing skills to businesses, Cherie has also taught a class for the UW Extension called Practical Grammar for Editors. And she is listed in THE GREGG REFERENCE MANUAL, Tenth Edition, as a professional colleague by its author, William A. Sabin.
For a few more tips from Cherie, log in to the message forum!
