Hi All,
We are having a BRILLIANT time in Cambridge. We are even starting to sound a bit like the Britts
Our course this past weekend was so profound. By Sunday afternoon people were spontaneously popping into their brilliant selves. It was inspiring to see and be a part of the fun.
If you are available or have friends in the area, don’t forget to come and invite folks for our talks in Cambridge tonight and London on Friday evening. By the way, many of you have indicated that you are coming to one or both of these events and if you are, don’t forget to register! Here are the links:

Hi Everyone,
I am proud to share with you an article I had the privilege to write for New York Resident magazine:
“Tranquility in Midtown Manhattan”
Ariel & Shya advertise in this magazine and asked me to write an article in the June issue! I wrote it the weekend of the last course, Transformational Time and Project Management. When I sat down and saw all the things I wanted to say, it was so easy – and really fun – to write (much easier than I had thought it would be).
The article is about my experience of taking Ariel & Shya’s workshops and the wonderful results I’ve experienced (and continue to experience) in my life.
Thanks to Ariel & Shya and everyone for your support in making this happen. Enjoy!!
Love,
Val

Dear Transformation Community,
A couple of weeks ago, I was in the Key Food grocery store by my house and as I was leaving, I noticed on the bulletin board a dazzling ad that caught my eye. It was for a housecleaning service. It said, “I will make your place sparkle!” with a very nice font. Below is the ad for you to take a look at.
The funny thing is that for quite some time now, I’ve been thinking about getting my place cleaned by someone. I’ve been resisting cleaning my place myself and I just thought it would be easier to pay someone to do it. But I resisted even doing that with thoughts of “Why should I pay someone else? it’s my place. It’s not that big. I should be able to do it myself,” etc. Anyway, the one thing I couldn’t resist was this ad. It was like it was meant for me! So I called the lady Nancy and she came over and she cleaned like a demon. She did a great job and she was very professional. (more…)

Dear Friends,
10 days ago, I thought it would be a nice idea to send my mother some flowers at Mother’s Day, May 9th. So I went in the Internet to my online flower shop and checked Mother’s Days flower bouquets. They were beautiful, but nothing really touched my heart. So I checked the other offers, and suddenly a stunning bouquet of a dozen large red roses popped up. A beautiful heart shaped tin box with filled chocolate was attached. It looked just gorgeous! Then my little voice in my head started: “No, this is something for lovers, not for moms.” And then I saw, they are only available tll April 30th. Ok, enough resonable reasons to forget about it. I looked for something else, and one minute later I jumped back to the roses. They looked so incredible precious and beautiful. (more…)

Yesterday afternoon, my lovely girlfriend Ali was sitting outside on her porch and much to her delight and surprise she witnessed the following. (In her words): I live on the corner of a busy intersection in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I was locking my bike up and suddenly, behind me I heard a loud symphony of car horns. I turned around to see that all four stoplights were frozen on red, and rush hour traffic was quickly backing up. On the corner stood a young boy watching the madness. He calmly walked out into the middle of the street, Razor Scooter in tow, and began to direct the traffic. Confidently he allowed one car at a time to pass, all the while grinning from ear to ear. I sat down to watch this young boy, not older then 8, transform this chaotic situation into a manageable one. This continued for over a half an hour until a worker came to fix the stop lights. The young boy graciously thanked the worker for showing up, and then hopped back on his scooter and rode away. I felt fortunate to witness such an amazing sight! He saw that he could help, and he did; no hesitation! It was truly inspiring!

It all started in Costa Rica. Actually it started just after the completion of the Kanes’ Costa Rican Adventure 2010, which was the best ever, by the way. Although I was inspired and really wanted to go again in 2011, I had hesitated to sign up for Costa Rica next year, because I didn’t want to register without letting my 16-year-old daughter Ayla in on my decision first. This past year, when I had let Ayla know I was going, she had pouted for a week or more because I hadn’t consulted her before committing to go. I had actually hesitated before telling her because I was afraid she might disapprove!
On the way to my room to get my luggage before heading home, I ran into Ariel and Shya on one of the beautiful covered walkways and we started chatting. When I outlined my dilemma, they pointed out that what I was actually doing was to ask my daughter for her permission to go to Costa Rica again and that it is I who is the mother who needs to say what’s going on – not vice versa. They said that I was trying to be Ayla’s friend instead of her mother. It was not long before I discovered how true this really had been.

Hi Friends!
I woke up earlier than usual today, and decided to start my morning by watching the newest videos and articles on the
Premium Excellence Club. It is truly incredible, and an inspiration, and I encourage anyone who wants it to give it to themselves! I feel so full that I just had to share my excitement with everyone.

Every time I see that an email comes in from one of you I stop whatever I am doing and read, read, read! It is so amazing how just doing that changes my day in some way. It’s been so long since I have been with all of you and I miss you so so much!
Since the last course and upon signing up for the next one (Step into Your Brilliance) for which I paid in full (and guess what, it was true what you said…the course started to happen then) things have shifted. I got home to California and my life as I knew it before was different. I was able to complete any task in the time needed. I was happier. I was lighter somehow, and the people around me became interesting and interested. My husband, Tony, turned to me at dinner one night and said, “I don’t know what your doing but don’t stop…I can’t get enough of you and love being around you, you look beautiful.” So, of course I tried as best I could to explain to him what Ariel and Shya do… It was murky I am sure, but he smiled…this big smile and grabbed my hands tight.

(German translation below)
Dear friends all over the world,
Last night while I was working off my pile of papers to deliver to school before I go to Costa Ricaaaaaaa on Friday:-))))), I suddenly felt the urge to watch the last video-podcasts that I got being a member of the Premium Excellence Club. I had had trouble looking at them directly just clicking on the arrow and procrastinated finding out about the other possibilities for watching them. But there I was, in a wiff I got the solution – on my own – it worked and I could watch these brilliant moments in time!
I had totally forgotten how visible transformation gets on somebody’s face, in somebody’s stature, and even over the camera through the computer I felt as if I was in the room with everybody experiencing life to the fullest.
Make that a part of your life, too! If you ever had the slightest thought like “maybe I’ll join sometime…”: do it now, there’s just not a moment to waste in your life and the lives of everybody around you!
