My Brooklyn Hamlet is about Brenda’s life growing up in Brooklyn with a Jewish ‘wanna be Italian’ father who taught her how to drive a Caddy at six and how to shoot a gun at ten. Her eclectic bohemian artist mom took her traveling throughout the world and read Shakespeare to her as a bedtime story from the time she was three years old. Then in 1995 her father shot and killed her mother and quickly married her mother’s sister. My Brooklyn Hamlet is about the power of forgiveness.

Touching! Inspiring! And that was just in the first 10 minutes! Just as USM has
required reading, this brilliant piece of work should also be a USM requirement.
Brenda is a wonderful, talented, courageous actress who models for all of us the
true meaning of Forgiveness and Self-Forgiveness. The next time you see Brenda
posting about her, My Brooklyn Hamlet, RUN to get tickets!

And Jude wrote this directly to me:

The words could not do justice to the extraordinary, writing, performance,
exquisite storytelling and courage you have in what you have created
to now become your ministry, or your mission.  My Spirit and Soul has
been moved on every level and the surrender to the truth inside
myself of Self-Forgiveness has been deeply awakened.

I have such honor, respect and Gratitude for you and your life.

Thank you for the inspiration you are and for the opportunity to taste
what is possible.

Hello Brenda,
I hope this day finds you happy and healthy.
I have important questions about forgiveness. What is it? How do you know when you need to forgive someone? How do you know when you have forgiven someone?  Is there strong emotion attached? If so, how does it feel? Where does it come from? Where do you feel it? How do you do it?
It is amazing me that I’ve reached the age of 56 and feel the need to ask these questions. It seems to easy to just say “I forgive you” when wronged, and then move on. It just seems like I’ve given “lip service” to forgiveness and not really “gotten it”.
I think I need guidance with this. Can you help me? Please.
Many Blessings
Thanks
I’ve copied my response here because I know that several of his questions are really universal.

Please let me know if this was helpful.

Thanks for asking these very important questions.
First know that you are not alone with the thought that it should be easier or that you should have ‘gotten’ it already.
It’s not easy and you are probably right when you say you have just done “lip service.”
I’d say it differently though—I call it spiritual bypass when forgiveness is on a mental level and not experienced from the heart.
I’m sure your intention was to really forgive-so it’s important to be kind to yourself and know that you have done the best you can with what you’ve known.

The fact that you are reaching out to me means that you are actually understanding yourself more than most people do and know that there is more freedom and joy available if you truly let go.

Let me try to answer a few of your questions here:

I define forgiveness as letting go of resentments that I have carried against myself or someone else.

I believe you need to forgive someone when you are in upset around them or even thinking about them upsets you.

The tricky thing is when someone is not around and you don’t think about them and so you don’t think they are having an influence on you and yet-subconsciously they are. This is the kind of work I help life-coaching clients with-to look at how they might be sabotaging themselves in the present because of an unresolved issue/unforgiveness from the past. Some of the ways it shows up is through failed relationships, an inability to experience true intimacy, negative self-talk, a lack of confidence, weight gain,addiction, etc.

There can be very strong emotions attached or an apathy/ numbness around the issue.

Unforgiveness often shows up as anger against others or yourself. Sometimes people isolate themselves or experience conditions in life that make them feel disempowered and like a victim. There’s a right and wrong mentality.

The unforgiveness comes from unresolved hurt and pain that have not been healed. It can also show up as physical ailments.

Forgiveness happens in levels and it is a journey. It is possible to completely forgive.

If I have enough people signing up I will be leading a free teleclass later this month (March) to address how to experience forgiveness and why it’s so important for the person who is forgiving.

I’m asking everyone who is interested to express that on my forgiveness community page at http://facebook.com/ForgivenessandFreedom I need at least 10 participants to hold the teleclass. Feel free to also invite others who you think could benefit from Making Peace with the Past.

So, that’s definitely one way I can help you.

In addition to that there are many interviews I’ve done on my Media Room page at http://www.forgivenessandfreedom.com
The radio interview I did with Lynn Serafinn, A Return to Forgiveness,  is intense and as I recall one of the more advanced interviews I’ve had on the subject.

I recommend you purchase my ebook, My Father Killed My Mother and Married My Aunt: Forgiving the Unforgivable at http://www.forgiveandbefreebook.com
It’s the best $15 you will ever spend.
It’s part memoir and part workbook.
I give my 3 Step Forgiveness Process there, there are many exercises and for a limited time it also comes with a powerful 60 minute MP3 on Setting Healthy Boundaries.
I believe Setting Boundaries goes hand in hand with forgiving.

I really appreciate your questions.

If I can be of further service to you let me know.

Hope to connect to you at http://facebook.com/ForgivenessandFreedom

In grace and gratitude,

Brenda

Virtual Forgiveness Weekend

Hitting the Wall – What is the Change and How do We Make It?

There are times when we all hit the wall.

We hit that wall when we start to wonder whether or not what we’re doing is making any kind of impact – not just on ourselves and our families, but also on those around us.  So many times I have heard people ask, “Am I supposed to be working at the job I currently have?”  People question their level of fulfillment and wonder what it’s all for – especially given all that’s transpired from an economic standpoint over the past few years.

Something’s gone awry in business. On morning radio and TV shows, pundits argue one way or the other about how to cure this problem.  Recently I watched one commentator waving a large red pointer as he jumped up and down about financial projections and shortfalls.  But is this really what’s going to motivate business to change and bring it back to its bastion of integrity and profitability?

Executives and entrepreneurs alike are facing the same problems: lack of motivation, less than stellar morale, and lack of fulfillment or a sense of accomplishment.  They are fearful about their security and future.

But simply leaving the corporate world and working for oneself is not necessarily the solution. Sitting in a local coffee shop the other day, I overheard a conversation where one professional-looking woman was speaking to her sympathetic friend.

As she sipped her Americano, I heard the woman say, “I just want to walk out of this job and go weave baskets on the beach in Bali!”

Her friend replied, “Hey at least you have a steady job! I’m self-employed and it feels that way for me too.  I thought I was supposed to be happier this way. I thought I was going to feel fulfilled doing work I believed in.  But I can’t honestly say I am.”

They both stared at each other, looking beleaguered.

People want to feel productive.  People want to make a difference where they work no matter what it is that they do.  Many are tired of the problems we’ve faced in business year after year and are fed up.  And they want to be making a better living (read money).  However they are not quite sure how anything will get better.

So what’s the alternative?

It actually starts with each person– from corporate executives to the office worker to the self-employed– realizing that they are so much more powerful than they know, and by taking personal responsibility for their own happiness and fulfillment.  It means they will have to make a shift and undergo the same kind of transformation needed in many businesses today: working from the inside out.

We start change by changing ourselves.

I thought this topic was of such importance, I wrote a whole book on the subject called Healing the Corporate World: how value-based leadership transforms business from the inside out.

To celebrate the launch of my new book, which is coming to Amazon on October 12th, I would like to invite you to attend a very special fr*ee 4-part online telesummit with 9 guest speakers on this very topic:

“Transforming Business from the Inside Out”

October 4th-7th

1pm EDT/ 10am PDT/ 6pm UK/ 7pm CET

Register FR*EE at
http://www.mariagamb.com/book/telesummit.html

On this event, over the course of 4 days, you will get to hear thoughts from a distinguished panel of 9 passionate and innovative authors and speakers (ok, I’m one of them) to discuss the ingredients for becoming the ‘Change Agent’ in your business, in your life and in the world.

Below an overview of the 4-day line up.

DAY 1: CHANGING OUR MINDSET FOR SUCCESS
Monday, October 4, 2010

• VIP Guest: Greg Reid, Filmmaker, Motivational Speaker, #1 best-selling author of several books including Three Feet from Gold
• Host: Maria Gamb, former Fortune 500 executive, business consultant and author of Healing the Corporate World
• Host: Lynn Serafinn, transformation coach, marketing coach, author of The Garden of the Soul.

DAY 2: BLAZING A NEW TRAIL
Tuesday, October 5, 2010

• Host: Maria Gamb, former Fortune 500 executive, business consultant and author of Healing the Corporate World
• Host: Lynn Serafinn, transformation coach, marketing coach, author of The Garden of the Soul.
• 
  
• DAY 3: RELATIONSHIPS AND IMPACT

Wednesday, October 6, 2010

• VIP Guest: Nicole Heimann, Leadership Coach and founder of 5C! Concept GmbH, Switzerland
• VIP Guest: Rich Gallagher, Business communications expert and author of many books on the topic including The Soul of an Organization, How to Tell Anyone Anything and his #1 customer service bestseller What to Say to a Porcupine.
• Host: Maria Gamb, former Fortune 500 executive, business consultant and author of Healing the Corporate World

DAY 4: INNOVATION AND CREATION
Thursday, October 7, 2010

·       VIP Guest: Chuck Vollmer, founder and President of Jobenomics, and author of the book of the same name.

• Host: Maria Gamb, former Fortune 500 executive, business consultant and author of Healing the Corporate World
• Host: Lynn Serafinn, transformation coach, marketing coach, author of The Garden of the Soul.

I believe people are the greatest raw material in any business when their mindset and belief is focused on creating rather than competing. When our values and rules of engagement, both for ourselves and our teams, are in alignment, we can finally become the Change Agents and get past that brick wall.

I hope you’ll join me October 4-7 to hear what some of today’s leading business innovators also have to say about this subject.

It’s been quite a road….from shock, denial of my father’s guilt, to devastating loss and inner rage for myself for not being able to save my mom and for ever loving and trusting my dad…to where I am now.

My mother’s death propelled me into my life’s work of helping to spread forgiveness – because it was the KEY ingredient to my being able to ‘get a life’ again. By facing my most ugly feelings (with support around me) I was able to open my heart again. I now have a beautiful partner, a lovely home, the best dog in the world, deep friendships and my work is my joy.

The way my mom died-from a a gunshot wound to her head (my father’s gun) was the catalyzing experience that woke me up and led me directly onto my soul’s journey.

As I reflect today on where I was 15 years ago on this date and how I found out about my mom’s death and then I look at every anniversary since, I realize that I am indeed healing.

Every October  gets better.

Today was just a normal day…maybe a bit more reflective than most..but normal.

I haven’t been crying, looking at photos and asking why, numbing myself out with food or shopping–all things I did years ago.

Instead…I’m grateful….and embrace my memories with love.

Please join me the weekend of October 23rd and October 24th at Opening to Love: A Weekend of Forgiveness and Freedom, where I’ll teach you how to move from despair to hope to peace and joy while safely opening your heart.

If I could do it…you can do it too!

Forgive, Open Your Heart, Be Free,

Brenda

Forgive, Open Your Heart, Be Free,

Brenda Adelman
Out of Fear. Into Forgiveness. Onward to Freedom.

Brenda Adelman, M.A. in Spiritual Psychology will take you through the same process she used herself to go from depression and addiction (to food and beating herself up about her weight) to living as a creative expression of the divine feminine. (Men are welcome too to stand up in their beautiful masculine power) The depression came from losing her mother when her father shot and killed her in 1995. The life-long love/hate relationship with food and her body came as a result of numbing to what was going on around her. It was easier to obsess about her body than deal with her feelings about her own success and failure. Join Opening to Love and experience real freedom!

Go of the Painful Past (which is long gone) and Walk

into Your Loving Powerful Present (which is a gift)

How many times have you been told to “just get over it?”

Get over the betrayal, the let down, the disrespect, the abandonment, the cheating, the robbery, being double-crossed?

Opening to Love

A Weekend of Forgiveness and Freedom

What if I told you that you could get over it—but not by more of the same…

• beating yourself up
• numbing out by doing too much (drinking, eating, partying, shopping, drugs)
• jumping into yet another bad relationship so you can focus on them and not you… and more importantly-not be alone
• trying to lose more weight
• another day of keeping yourself safe by not taking risks or going after your dreams (unfortunately you’ll use this to beat yourself up later)

That’s an awful cycle that invites self-abuse in the form of self-judgment.

No more!

* Give me the opportunity right now to teach you a new way of being with

yourself and with your loved ones so that you’re irresistable.

* Allow me to help you uncover what you don’t know is hurting you.

You’ll learn the exact tools and techniques that only my private clients have been privy to until now.

The weekend ends with a powerful redistribution of your energy and a

celebration of YOU!

* Do you want to feel what it feels like to be self-aware and so filled with

self-love that you only make honoring decisions from this point on?

I’ll teach you how to know which decision is best for you at all times during our weekend together.

* Give me the opportunity to help you make peace with your past-the poor

decisions you’ve made and the opportunities you let slip by.

In my experience you get over it (the break-ups, the losses, the grief) by getting through it.

Like Alanis Morissette’s song verse-“The only way out is through”

What if you could go through it by loving yourself more—loving all those parts inside that have been hurt and may even be buried? Maybe until now you haven’t realized how those parts are hurting you and keeping love away.

Pain comes out when it hasn’t been handled—as anger, resentment, a sense of entitlement, the way you act/ react with loved ones, strangers, authority and in poor health. There are countless books and studies about how unresolved anger can cause cancer, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, headaches, chronic fatigue syndrome. and the list goes on.

You don’t have to suffer any more.

I’m Brenda Adelman

and besides working with hundreds of people and helping them transform their anger and resentments into an opening for more love, I personally have transformed the biggest betrayal of my life into an opportunity for more love. By learning how to take the shield around my heart down I attracted the love of my life into my life.

In 1995 my father took my mother’s life. That’s right, he shot and killed her. So-I know what betrayal is. Then-to add insult to injury her married her sister. Double whammy.

What would you have done?

What do you do in your own life when faced with betrayal?

I’ll tell you—it took me years of living unconsciously—I call it my sleep-walking time—years of depression, rage turned in on myself, over-eating, dating men who were emotionally unavailable, and spending a time in utter solitude and loneliness to find the key to my freedom and I’m offering it during this powerful weekend as an opportunity… for you.

I went from living in a place of fear that I would always be alone and making choices from that place of scarcity to finding the love of my life and we’ve been in a loving relationship for nine years.

Would it be worth it to you to clear the unconscious patterns that may be blocking you from meeting the love of your life?

I went from living in crisis and not trusting anyone because of how my mom died to learning to trust the most important person with all my decisions – ME!

I invite you to join me the weekend of October 23rd and October 24th to

learn how to tap into your own inner guidance so that you never make a

wrong decision again.

You’ll move out of fear and a life of compromise into a full expression of

the best of who you are!

Here are the 5 Top Reasons (in no specific order) Not to Forgive and Open Your Heart taken from participants ( at the

beginning of the workshops) who have taken my Forgiveness, Setting Healthy Boundaries and Heart Opening Workshops Over the years.

Have you gone through a break-up/divorce and you haven’t recovered?

It’s hard and painful.

Is it because you feel wronged and therefore, the party that was wronged should be punished?

I understand those feelings. They are often based on the values you were brought up with-a sense of right and wrong.

We value integrity, responsibility, and justice and when things go so entirely different then how we think they should our entire belief system gets challenged.

During Opening to Love: A Weekend of Forgiveness and Freedom -You’ll learn why you haven’t been able to let go and I’ll teach you how to take your power back.

How will it feel to be back in the driver’s seat?

Has someone you loved cheated on you? Or disrepected you and you find yourself replaying what happened.

One woman who attended a live workshop of mine was currently married (9 years) to a man who recently told her he wanted to stay married but no longer wanted to be monogamous. She could take it or leave it. She took it. She was devastated. On further exploration during my coaching I found out that she was most devastated by her choice to stay and accept this new information from her husband without standing up for what her needs were. And it also turned out that this was the second time in her life that a long-term relationship took this turn. By realizing that this was a pattern specific to her, we went on to work directly with her internal beliefs that may have caused this to happen not once-but twice in her life. It wasn’t about self-blame or over-responsibility. She left the workshop empowered to look at what she needed from her relationship, with a commitment to speak her truth without blame (that was key to her freedom and I’ll explain why during the weekend) and then to make a decision about her marriage from her newly centered place.

Are you in a relationship where the communication is either non-existent or abusive?

If this is you-you’re not alone. In this virtual weekend of Forgiveness and Freedom you’ll find out why you’ve stayed in an abusive (emotionally or physically) relationship when you’re not happy and more importantly how to start creating the relationships you want.

If you’ve been afraid to commit to anyone because you were raised in a household where there was abuse (like a current client of mine) or a parent left and you felt abandoned, you’ll learn how to separate the facts from the story you’re telling yourself about them. We’ll be doing a powerful process to release the past and bring everything about your life present.

Have you hurt a loved one and can’t forgive yourself?

If you’ve acted abusively to someone (by shutting down your heart and withholding love or lashing out in rage) you’ll learn the tools you need to forgive yourself while learning how not to repeat the abusive behavior and also how to set healthy boundaries.

Are you the one you shut your compassion down to the most?

Do you find you can be there for others but not yourself? That’s a form of self-abuse. It’s time for a change. You don’t have to live like that anymore.

Is it possible that you’ve held a memory of how unforgivable you were for years and because of it you haven’t really be LIVING?  You haven’t felt worthy of experiencing more good things?

I worked with a Vietnam vet who couldn’t forgive himself for letting his men down and he finally realized that he was continuing the hurt by withdrawing from his kids and loved ones. He felt so guilty that he wasn’t allowing love in or out…until then.

Another client abused herself with alcohol for years (she’s clean now but has not been in a loving long term relationship ever) because her father told her he never wanted her when she was 8. She took his words on like they were her own and continued to punish herself by numbing out and keeping her heart closed down. Afterall, she expected rejection, just like what she got from her dad.

She was able to finally let it go. I’ll tell you how during the weekend and more importantly I’ll give you a process to do that will help you release your own ‘inner demons.’ Those are the words, beliefs and thoughts that keep you small, unwilling to risk for your dreams  and unhappy.

Are you ready for your personal breakthrough?

In Opening to Love: A Weekend of Forgiveness and

Freedom

You’ll identify where the love ‘leaks’ are and you’ll learn how to plug them up with self-honor, self-care and self-love.

No more stuffing that gaping whole with food, addictions and depression.

Have you ever heard this quote by Albert Einstein?

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

This is the thing…there are consequences to inaction or doing the same thing over and over when it’s not working.

There are consequences for giving your power away and not taking action whole-heartedly.

* Unhappiness

* Depression

* Poor health

* Lack of Intimacy

* Beating yourself up

* Attracting more bad relationships

* Lack of love

I want to mention something here:

I really believe that having someone to love, someone to give your love to is as important as having someone love you.

If you won’t take this step for you, won’t you join this weekend workshop for those you love?

So they can experience all of you? All your beauty, all your wisdom and strength and loving?

During Opening to Love: A Weekend of Forgiveness and Freedom

You’ll learn the exact exercises I used while getting my Master’s degree in Spiritual Psychology in 2001 to unblock and heal those parts in me that were hidden and hurting me and also those parts that were not hidden but I didn’t know how to change.

You don’t have to suffer anymore.

The work you’ll do during our virtual weekend

intensive starting Friday night, October 22nd and

ending Sunday evening, October 24th, will help you

to experience more love because you’ll be creating an

opening to it.

Opening to Love: A Weekend of Forgiveness and

Freedom is for you.

Are you willing to make this commitment to yourself?

I’ve learned so much in the fifteen years since my mom died, during the ten years I’ve performed my acclaimed one-woman show about my life-story and the power of forgiveness and during the last four years, as a  transformational life coach and leading workshops on forgiveness and setting healthy boundaries for spiritual communities, Coalitions against Domestic Violence and mental health groups.

Things won’t change unless you make a commitment to change and back that up with taking different actions.

You’ll benefit from the ten’s of thousands of dollars I’ve spent learning how to heal. The 2 years I studied Psychology to get my Master’s degree at The University of Santa Monica, the four years I assisted at the University, the work I’ve done with Barbara De’Angelis, David Neagle, T. Harv Eckert and the other teachers I’ve studied with along my path.

I’ve spent over $50,000 to find the answer and now I want to share it with you.

I was trying to sleep the other night and I couldn’t. I always sleep through the night so I paid attention to my thoughts and this special event is what came through.

Weekend intensives have always helped me. But the truth is that they are expensive. Besides the price for the program (several I’ve taken were upwards of $2000), there’s the additional cost of the hotel, the parking, the airfare and the food…plus the time it takes to travel. And several of the leaders tried to sell me $25,000 -$100,00 programs to follow up. I won’t do that.

I want to offer you a way to experience more happiness and love and I don’t want you to be stressed about cost. I will give you everything I got…like those who know me, know I always do.

Service is important to me…it’s why I’ve volunteered my time at The Boys and Girls Club, and for Veterans and at Adult Homes. It’s why I served as a prayer chaplain for Unity of Sedona for over a year, and have assisted at the school I got my Master’s degree program in for years and it’s why I mentor a foster child.

My personal life experiences and triumphing over the loss and grief has drawn me to this work.

By joining this weekend workshop you’ll experience the tools I’ve used to heal and you’ll be helping me stay on purpose.

I want to respect your time and encourage you to heal some of your issues for the last time by creating an offer that you simply can’t say no to.

You’ll have to make a commitment of some time and some money because that’s the only way I’ll know (really what’s important is that the Universe knows) that you’re serious this time.

I know many people are facing challenges with the economy and that’s

why I’m willing to offer this intensive weekend virtually…

Yes, it’s virtual so you can live anywhere. You won’t have to leave your

home or spend all that extra money on travel and lodging. I’ll be holding

this event on a weekend so you might not even have long distance

charges on your phone. You won’t have to take time away from work.

It’s part of my mission to help transform unforgiveness into an opportunity for more loving for 1000 people by the end of this year.

I’ll tell you how much it costs in a minute.

I will tell you this…the tools you’ll be learning and directly applying to your life and your relationships during the weekend will be priceless.

First let me tell you the format:

A few days before the Opening to Love: A Weekend of Forgiveness and Freedom event you’ll receive a Welcome packet and an assessment form.

Your assessment form will help me fine tune the weekend to you!

Friday night

You’ll be emailed your first homework assignment( a bonus report I just added) and a checklist to help make sure you get the most from the weekend.

Saturday

Morning Group Call #1:

Check-in and you’ll receive your first exercise for the day and some other tools and techniques to help you uncover what you don’t know is blocking you from experiencing more love and learn how to access your intuition.

Afternoon Group Call #2:

You’ll receive more teaching and an additional exercise to help you access more loving throughout the day. There will be time for a Q and A at the end of this call.

You’ll receive an email with the homework assignment for the evening.

Sunday

Morning Group Call #3:

Check-in and you’ll be introduced to another tool for your ‘love’ toolbox. You’ll be educated on how to practice it before the afternoon call.

Afternoon Group Call #4:

You’ll receive more teaching and an additional exercise to help you access more loving. There will be time for your questions.

Bonus Guest Expert Interview Call #5 (for everyone):

An Emotional Freedom Technique Expert will lead the group in a powerful exercise to help release any energy that has come up during the weekend and help you feel cleared, peaceful and joyful.

Sunday Night Call #5 :

Wrap-up call with next steps with me.

And here’s a few juicy bonuses to reward those of you who take action

fast by joining right now- you know if it’s right-

1. For the first person who signs up (new clients only):

Forty five minutes of private one-on-one coaching in person or over the phone with me the week following Opening to Love: A Weekend of Forgiveness and Freedom.

2. The next 3 people who sign up:

You’ll receive 1 twenty minute coaching session with me during the weekend.

3. The next 6 people who sign up:

You’ll be invited to participate in 2 additional small group calls during the weekend. This is a time for you to get personalized feedback from me on your unique challenges and opportunities.

**Those of you who qualify for these bonueses will be notified by me within 48 hours of signing up. If you’re not emailed by me brenda@forgivenessandfreedom.com-it means you were too late.**

Can you see how making this kind of commitment to yourself, your healing and to loving can make a significant difference in your life?

Isn’t it time to feel lighter (emotionally and physically)?

Isn’t it time to take your power back by uncovering the hidden (and sometimes not so hidden) unhealed parts of you, applying new tools at a deep level  during the weekend and making this commitment to yourself so that you can make a difference in your own life and those you love or will love?

How much time and money are you willing to invest to change the rest of your life?

I could charge $500 easily for the weekend and feel really good about it. If you take part fully in this weekend-you will experience a real shift…an opening of your heart.

I could charge $250 and that’s a bargain for two days of work with me. (I’ll start with you during Friday night and finish up late on Sunday, beside the prep for the weekend, the forms, the recording, and the live calls)

I won’t charge $250 this time. I probably will in the future.

I’m charging only  $97 because I don’t want money to be the reason you

give yourself for not taking this opportunity to open your heart.

How many times have you not hired that teacher, coach, therapist or taken that program that called to you because it was priced way too high for your comfort and for your budget?

Maybe you were using wise discernment or maybe your fear won.

You’ll learn how to distinguish between those two voices during our weekend together.

So go on…I encourage you to make the decision to commit to your wholeness and loving heart right now by clicking on the link below.

Can you really afford not to?

What will happen if you don’t take this action?

Virtual Forgiveness Weekend

Option 1 $97.00 Option 2 $127.00

Here’s just a few things my past and current clients have to say….

Could this light-bulb moment from a coaching client of mine be yours…?

Today we talked about a small piece; i.e., you are giving crumbs
when you accept crumbs in a relationship.

This is a very interesting and healing concept.

In other words, X was giving me crumbs, but I was allowing it.

I was not taking care of myself, and living up to my person, so I was not authentic, not able to give more than a shadow of myself, CRUMBS.

This makes sense in the financial arena also.

If I overspend to make relationships a priority, I am also hurting my life, setting up my financial picture to be crumbs also.

The same goes for the body, take care of me; mind, body, and spirit.

Then I will feel good, and I will draw good back into me.

I will be able to give more than crumbs, I will be able to receive more than crumbs.

T.H., Oklahoma

Or maybe you’ll discover something you didn’t know before?

Your course, it’s given me a lot of insight into how to deal with certain issues in my life (I too need to forgive my father).  I never really realised how vital it is to forgive for our own sakes.  Great course!

And the weekend is designed to be supportive and loving -that’s my style…

Brenda is an amazing coach. I feel lucky to have worked with her. She was loving, kind, enthusiastic, intuitive, and at the same time didn’t let me get away with not getting to the root of things. I highly recommend Brenda to anyone who wants to let go of old stuff, rewire their brains, and move forward in a big way.

There’s no time like now and there’s no better program to kick-start your healing and for this price? Isn’t it time to value yourself in relationships and most importantly to love yourself whole-heartedly. You will learn how to do that this weekend.

Only $97—that’s right. The early bird special is just $97. I’m thinking of raising it to $117 as we get closer to the weekend so don’t miss out on this deal!  I created this as a gift for you. You deserve it. My colleagues  have said, “It’s way too low, are you kidding?.”

Go ahead and sign up now. And as one of the first 10 to sign up–and I’m sure the seats will fill up fast as soon as I start advertising this program to my lists.. .there are additional bonuses you’ll be receiving.

Virtual Forgiveness Weekend

Option 1 $97.00 Option 2 $127.00

I know how low I’ve priced the Opening Your Heart: A Weekend of Forgiveness and Freedom for everything you’ll be receiving and  in the future I’ll have to raise the price.  I’ve been guided to offer it at this low price for the early bird special. You’ll find out during the weekend that your inner guidance never steers you wrong!

You’ll learn how to tap into that.

Are you willing to open your heart to love by spending one virtual intensive weekend (two full days and nights) learning and practicing the skills and exercises, the very ones I use with my clients who are paying $150 an hour to work with me privately? Can you benefit from the new skills and experiences you’ll receive?

This is what you’ll get:

1. An assessment form so I get to know you and your specific challenges to experiencing more loving.
2. A welcome kit.
3. 5 group calls–just added the expert call too bringing it to 6
   
4. Homework assignments to be completed between the calls (designed for real movement forward)
5. 2 small group coaching calls for the first 10 people who sign up.
6. One 20 minute follow-up consultation with me (first 20 people only) the following week.

And if you can’t make all or some of the live calls …or you want to additionally anchor your learnings by replaying the classes, don’t worry… all 6 group calls will be recorded and sent to you as an MP3 after the weekend. The cost for this option is just $127.

That’s not all-I’ve got one more bonus. I meant it when I said it’s my mission to help transform unforgiveness into more loving by the end of 2010. Everyone who signs up for the

Open to Loving: A Weekend of Forgiveness and Freedom will also receive  a Personal Forgiveness Assessment Form so you can measure your progress following the virtual weekend workshop as you do the exercises you’ll learn over the weekend throughout the month. You’ll receive this complimentary download as a gift from me to help you anchor your learnings in the world.

What are you waiting for?

Start your journey to experiencing more loving right now.

Whenever I’ve signed up for programs in the past I’ve noticed that the learning and healings start taking place right after I’ve made the commitment.

Why not let the loving begin now….?

To your love breakthrough….
