Hi everyone,

I am discovering transformation in a whole new way since coming back from Costa Rica. I had such a brilliant experience of it this morning that I just have to share: normally in the morning I wake up early to handle some emails, bills, or business before I get ready and go to work. I leave my self an extra half hour but I am still usually rushed or late getting out the door. This morning, I woke up early and easily, but realized that I had completed so many of the things on my list, in the moment they came up, that there was hardly anything to do! I had such an enjoyable morning getting ready at an easy pace and then heading out the door right on time. I have heard Ariel & Shya talk about how when you don’t have incompletions pulling on you, you have more time and more ease and I had always gotten this as a concept, but had never truly *experienced* it until this weekend/morning! Wow- transformation is amazing and such a blessing! (more…)

Dear friends all over the world;­­

Today is the Christmas Eve. For my husband Christian and I, this is a very important day in a sense that we love to make it special for our children (3 and 5 years old). Christian and I have the most beautiful memories from our childhood of Christmas Eves; we would like the same for our children and try our best to make it happen.

We have protected all the “big lies” about Santa Claus, the carriage, the reindeers… etc. In the area I grew up in it is the Christkind (Christ child), not Santa Claus, therefore we sometimes have to make up stories to put them together (“well, Santa Claus prepares the gifts and the Christkind helps him deliver them”…etc). Santa Claus also brings presents to adults; he passes by the grandparents’ house, decorates the tree therefore the living room is locked till Christmas mornings. We place milk and cookies in the entrance of the house so that he can eat and once the things are gone (my father in law takes care of that while we are in church), we know that Santa Claus was there. It’s probably more familiar to the Americans than to the Germans, but now you’ve got the idea. (more…)

Dear Friends,

My girlfriend Sandy & I came home from Hamburg two days ago, where we attended two absolutely amazing workshops, “The Freedom To Breathe” and “The License To Live” with the Kanes.

Since the start of the first workshop I have felt really empowered, fresh, complete, clear and very calm at the same time – and this feeling lingers on, in all aspects of my live. I get things done and handled without any effort or stress, I just finish what has to be done and move on to the next thing without any complaint or thought that usually came up in my mind that told me I’d like to do something different or better.

And also my relationship with Sandy feels so fresh and close and precious again – it’s like falling in love with her for the first time, again and again, from moment to moment anew! I really love what has happened and is still happening for us two and all the others who took part in the “Hamburg Adventure” with the Kanes. (more…)

Dearest Friends,

My husband Rainer and I attended  the workshops “The Freedom to Breathe” and, over the weekend  ”The License to Live”, as well as the “Tuesday Night Alive” here here in Hamburg.

It was so beautiful, sweet, soft, light and easy. I’m in awe of how beautiful and easy Transformation is. Life felt pretty good before the workshops. Things were going well; our businesses had been growing and I could find nothing to complain about. However, since the workshops I have felt like being in a room that someone cleaned the windows. The trees are greener, the flowers are brighter… Life feels so sweet and soft to me, I had no idea that’s possible. It shows up everywhere. Prior to the workshops, things that have been edgy between Rainer and I became softer and we became more loving towards each other. Not only that I am more efficient at work, it’s as if my clients turned to be easier and sweeter  to be with even with a tight schedule and a pressing deadline. I just took care of things when they came without stressing myself out. It makes everything so rich and sweet! (more…)

Dear friends around the world,

Last week I came back from a 10 day vacation with a dear friend of mine at the Ligurian Coast in Italy. We had stayed with relatives of hers and had the best time: sun and rain, sea and countryside, beautiful encounters and conversations with people, lovely food (and ice cream!!) and a lot of fun. In the midst of all beautiful things something truly magical happened to me.

I have my own business as a PR consultant & an interpreter. In the last three years English became the predominant language that I have been called on to interpret. Recently I considered concentrating on English, and stopped working with the Italian language completely.

I was sitting by the water on the shore, reading an Italian book, looking at the children jumping into the water, enjoying the breeze, the sun and the water on my skin when I suddenly felt some sort of hate towards Italian people. I noticed it, quite surprised… I saw it and it was gone. Something really interesting happened next. It felt as if somebody took a lid off of me and all my passion, love and admiration for Italian people and Italian culture came bubbling up… (more…)

Dear Ariel and Shya,  Rod, and friends all over the world;

Rod’s video is fantastic! I just came home from a tough day rehearsing at the theater. I was feeling tired and exhausted. I turned my computer on and found Rod’s lovely email that is very inspiring itself. (more…)

Hey Everyone,

I just saw an email from Ariel & Shya about how it’s not too late to sign up for “Step Into Your Brilliance” this August 12th, 13th, & 14th, and I wanted to say Yes!  It’s not too late.

As many of you know, I create and edit the videos that Ariel and Shya send out for the Premium Excellence Club and the videos for the monthly newsletters.  I’m very proud of the newest video we did for the Kanes’ Costa Rican Adventure 2012.  It was a pleasure to watch so many of the amazing people from the Transformational communities around the world describe their experience of Transformation in such clear and effective ways.  The most difficult task I had was how to fit so much brilliance into 3 minutes!  If you haven’t had a chance to see it yet, you can watch it above. (more…)

Today was my first day where I have two assistants all day in my studio with me.

It has been the most incredible day for me.

Greetings to one and all in the Transformational Community!

John

As some of you know, I attended my first Costa Rican Adventure in January of this year. It was an amazing experience and I enjoyed it immensely. It was great to spend time with such an inspirational group and I loved meeting so many wonderful new friends from the European community. I had just decided in December to attend and was so glad I did. (more…)
