Please let me know if it is not convenient for you to receive this
little newsletter about once a month. It was brought to my
attention that this might be considered that naughty word, "spam."
Let me say that I have either had contact with you within the last
6 months - possibly requesting to exchange links - or someone has
recommended this be sent to you.
If you do not care to receive "Expansion Encounters," just send a
reply with "unsubscribe." And, please include other email
addresses you may have. I sometimes receive one that I do not
have on my list - I have most likely obtained it thru a site.

We are no longer deprived of growth-oriented relationships just
because we have not found like-minded people in our
geographical area.
Chat rooms, personal enrichment on-line newsletters, message
boards, email groups... all give us occasion to meet new souls
around the world.
I received some healthy reminders this week at a message board
on the topic of "relationships." Someone floats into our life on a
cloud to teach us something to give us incentive to climb to a new
level of awareness. Once we see the path, that person can float
out of our life, to go on doing so for others. When we are ready
for another step, someone else floats in to introduce and assist us
in climbing again.
Friendships come and go. I have had some very dear
relationships, which I didn't want to release but, because of
geographical moves or other reasons I didn't know, they faded
into the sunset.
I have recently been reminded that these departures allow us to
stretch our wings. Once we are flying at new levels, we
sometimes re-establish past friendships. Email has brought this
about for me in several instances.
I am also communing with different souls concerning different
areas of my life. We can expand when we are willing to "let it
happen."
I observe the more challenging concepts, not always willing or
"ready" to take that step - yet. I do find many who do provide a
next step. I have discovered that, after I've taken some of the
more familiar steps, there is a bridge in sight that allows me to
step across and study more intently those concepts that, just a
couple of days ago, were "too far away."
"A few days ago," is literal! What used to take weeks or months,
now brings new enlightenment within a much shorter time, thanks
to sites that offer personal insights and email communication.
Isn't Life grande?!

shared by Paula Fitzpatrick, email Paula
from Landmark Forum:
"Communication"
It makes your palms sweat, it makes your stomach tight, it makes
you sigh with relief.
It can alter the way you feel and the way you act.
It's what creates relationships and also what can destroy them.
It can make you do things you would never do.
It's something we succeed at one minute and fail at the next.
It sorts out confusion, clarifies the mysterious, and has the power
to resolve any breakdown.
It can build bridges and tear down walls.
It's what gives life to our deepest aspirations and our wildest
dreams.
It has the power to create and to alter the very nature of what is
possible.

Just a reminder that there is an ongoing online (email) Life Now
seminar taking place. Information is at SEMINAR - or you can email
Dusty for details.

Okay, we have a question - responses welcome - will print them anonymously in next Expansion Encounters - and put them on a page at my site - with options of discretion:
What is your biggest pet peeve on the internet, more specifically with email (NOT including spam)?

Yoo Hoo!
Yoo Hoo! Creativity?
Where are you?
Center stage is yours
But you have to claim it.
Yes, there will be
Interruptions,
Challenges
to your performance.
But, let's get started
I will offer protection
By stepping into quietness
For a few minutes
To get you started.
Ah! What's that sound?
The whisper of silence.
The stage is yours,
Creativity.
