THE POWER OF A NEW CHAPTER, NEW BEGINNING

Are you stuck in the story of who you think you are? How can you release the past and let go? How can you learn the lessons? In my book, Living in the Spirit of Love: Our Natural State of Being, I sharethe transformational Power of Sankofa that inspired me to look back, take what is valuable, and move forward to write a new chapter in my life, a new love story. A quote from the West African Translation of Sankofa speaks to our life's journey, "We must go back and reclaim our past so we can move forward; So we can understand how and why we came to be who we are".

The Sankofa is a mythical and metaphorical symbol used by the Akan people of Ghana depicted as a bird with its feet pointed forward and head turned backward taking an egg from its back. This powerful exotic symbol is an expression of the value of reaching back to knowledge gained in the past and bring it into the present in order to make positive progress.

It's time to let go, release fear and write a new 'Love Story' for your life. Dr. Jean Marie highlights the following precepts: Choose freedom, Dream big, Flow with Life, Live Intimately and Find beauty in everyday life. This enables you to create a new vision for your life and take inspired action to make your dreams a reality. You have the power.

The Love In Action Practice is twofold. First, journal on challenges overcome and how you have become better and more resilient. Second, journal on your dreams that you would like to manifest in your life. Write down the details. Feel good and imagine how you feel living your dream life. Revisit this daily and take small inspired steps to make your dreams a reality.
