Growing up in Iowa … early May 1st morning … filling little construction paper baskets … flowers, cookies, candies, notes … sneaking ever so quietly up to my friends’ front doors … gently placing my loving surprise down … giggle, giggle … ring the doorbell … RUN!!!!!

I loved that! Wonder if and where it’s still done?

May Day!
It’s storming and flooding here as I write. Nearby communities are still reeling from last week’s tornadoes and low-level earthquakes here in central Arkansas have been occurring regularly with the hydraulic fracturing that comes with natural gas drilling. Current plans include drilling under the lake that provides our community water supply.

Your community undoubtedly faces its own environmental challenges too. Of course, ultimately, we are one big world community with shared air and oceans, dealing with increasingly erratic weather, and ever greater signs all around of an imperative to change our ways … or jump ship. Mayday!

May Day!
Springtime in Germany taught me about the May 1st observance by laborers in many countries. Having lived in Madison and now with both siblings in Wisconsin, I’ve watched the escalation around workers’ rights there … while uprisings in eastern countries for basic human rights continue to mount.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Like a global weather shift, it appears there’s something brand new in the air … strong winds alongside a growing fragrance … a new blossoming underway … an awakening to our essential birthright … a rising up into awareness of something seeded within, released now in just the right conditions … the long-awaited unfurling of our deeper essences … as if the bell has sounded … calling us to open up … meet the unknown at the door … smile through the mystery …
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Day of May

On this Day,
May we have the courage and foresight to let go of what we know can’t continue
May we have eyes and hearts to see and know the new ways forward
May we choose Life!
May we be open to the surprises awaiting us …

Abundant springtime blessings,
Pamela

March for Clean Water & Rally at Arkansas State Capitol tomorrow morning, Wednesday March 23
Did you know today is World Water Day? Amazing precious water … and it’s time to show our appreciation and deep desire to steward and protect our waters here. I was so startled to learn that natural gas production is exempt from the federal Clean Air and Clean Water Acts. My compassionate heart is rising on behalf of our Earth and her waters. More info on this is available at Arkansans for Gas Drilling Accountability, http://a4gda.blogspot.com/ and “Water March to the Capitol” on facebook.

Radiant Gathering, this Friday, March 25 at 7 pm at Elevate
So glad to be offering these times again! I invite you to share in the oh-so-natural experience of connecting to your radiant Center. As we do this together, we allow the elevated reality of who we are to shine out in blessing to each and all! This is our birthright. It is uplifting, empowering and simple. All are welcome to this monthly event at the wonderful new Elevate Community Wellness Center, 323 S. Cross Street in Little Rock, 888-749-6949; www.elevatearkansas.org. Come at 6:00 for their “Healthy People Potluck” if you’d like! Freely offered, donations for the space are welcome.

The Heart to Lead: Women as Allies for the Greater Good
This is the documentary film I have so enjoyed sharing in the last several weeks. The showings have been wonderful. It seems women are appreciative of this call being sounded to wake up to our wholeness together and to be that in the world in very practical ways…in our own unique ways. It is touching a resonance that is growing clearer and stronger, an emerging feminine way, a voice, a power coming through us, as us, and in us together. I’m loving being with women coming alive to this now and extend the invitation to you to join in if you haven’t already!
The next film screening is scheduled for The Floating Lotus Yoga Studio and Day Spa in Little Rock on Friday, April 8 at 6:30 p.m. It’s free, refreshments are provided, come enjoy the place, the film, the short discussion afterward, and the great company! http://www.floatinglotusyogastudio.com. And please let me know if you’d like to host a screening next…I would welcome it.

True to Your Light Within: Personal Attunement Sessions
These are the therapeutic body energy sessions that I offer. Known as Attunement sessions, they serve beautifully to allow space for our “compassionate heart to arise naturally.” Tensions and constrictions that we may not even realize begin to naturally release, allowing health and wholeness to emerge. Attunement is a wonderful way to support the process of relaxing and remembering the Love that we are. Testimonials are on my website. Sessions are available in Conway as well as long-distance and scheduled by phone or email. I would welcome such a time together.

Blessings in this season of springtime awakenings!
Pamela

and step more fully into the wholeness of your life!

Is it time to answer the call?


To you who are feeling a call from within to arise
and step more fully into the wholeness of your life!

Is it time to answer the call?

Just rsvp…

RSVP: Reclaim Spirit’s Vibrant Presence!

This RSVP Invitation is an opportunity for one-on-one engagement that includes spiritual mentorship along with long-distance Attunement.

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Life as we know it is changing and changing fast! Much is breaking down, much is breaking through. Developing a higher perspective, along with an inner awareness, is vital! And it’s a liberating and natural process. These transformative times are calling us back to our very source.

I am extending this special “RSVP” invitation for you to Reclaim Spirit’s Vibrant Presence with me through telephone conversation and distance Attunement.

The sacred healing art of Attunement allows for a vibrational “tuning in” to your own energetic design and helps clear the way for a more expanded, healthy and joyful life experience. This happens easily and lovingly! And since sharing an Attunement is not dependent on our being in the same location, it’s a great way to tune in together wherever you are.

To step into the freedom of being YOU more fully, to reconnect to your own inner compass for guidance and direction, and to let your true radiance shine through as the blessing to the world that you are, please consider the gifts offered to you through this invitation.

Every month that you choose to Reclaim Spirit's Vibrant Presence with me, we'll engage in one or more hour-long distance appointments together. Each hour will be part conversation and part meditative Attunement where you will sit or lay quietly, wherever you are. Throughout the month I will be available by email. I’ll be sending you lots of love throughout too!

This investment in yourself is $65 per hour session.

Here’s what one current client has said about this way of working together:

“Pamela embodies what she teaches. She embodies love, truth, respect, and creativity! A true teacher doesn't preach, yet guides and allows the student to find their truth and answers. A true teacher and healer empowers...this is exactly what Pamela does. I wanted to participate in RSVP with Pamela to honor and to give space for my highest self. In my time with her, I feel like I am empowering the part of myself that will ultimately lead to true healing and bring about a true contentment in my life.” A.S., California

If this interests you, just rsvp! I welcome your inquiries.

Blessings,
Pamela Mosley

Wow, the last time I wrote a newsletter was last June and the theme was “Letting Go.” My New Year’s message to myself was “Lighten Up!” These four words sum up my half a year of introspection!

Thank you, Ram Dass, for the beautiful quote from your new book, Be Love Now. The more I let go, the more I lighten up. Then, experiencing my radiant loving self is as natural as can be. From this core of myself, I am nourished and guided.

~Gangaji


Summer Solstice 2010
Hello Friends,

Greetings on this warm and spacious day…are you too feeling the heat of a growing intensity as well as an opening up to something brand new?

When I came across the above quote by Gangaji a while back, I thought, “That’s it! What a great description of what’s being asked of us right now!” I’ve been feeling a enormous pull to experience the freedom of letting go.

So, I’ve been letting go of things I’ve long clung to…heirlooms, letters, journals…grievances, beliefs, expectations…and with that has come a sense of leaving everything behind to make room for something new. I’ve felt a deep readiness and a drive to give myself up to some wholly new adventure. It has been an interesting time in our household! In fact, it seemed we were to give the house up as well and we began plans for letting go of our wonderful house and Sanctuary and moving on...free falling into some new life.

Funny, now we’re letting go of our new plans too and have made a commitment to just be still and drop into a deeper listening about what in the world is happening with us.

In my meditation this morning I felt everything changing. I felt that the change underway is so much bigger than any of us, so much more than moving from one place to another and so beyond our current thinking and imagining. I felt that letting go and relaxing and going with this river of change could be an amazing joy ride! And that clinging to the signposts we’ve known before could make an inevitable ride incredibly painful. It seems that change is happening. How are we responding? Clinging even tighter? Or letting go for the free fall? How much trust do we have in an underlying Design of Life?

At present, I am in Conway and gladly continuing to offer Attunement sessions as well as Integrated Counseling and Energy sessions in our Attunement Sanctuary here. Assisting each other to discover and attune to our own deepest knowings offers our best guidance forward. I would love to connect with you in this spacious, intense summer season!


NEW: Integrated Counseling and Energy Sessions, together with Pat Bradley, LPC
Many of you already know Pat Bradley from her years here as a local professional counselor and dream circle facilitator…and perhaps she’s your holistic veterinarian! The two of us are now offering joint sessions. These are special times of personalized energetic support for improved health and well-being through deep relaxation, imagery and dreamwork. Your body is your guide. These integrated sessions provide a gentle and effective entryway to the peace and particular guidance that can be accessed within each person. Sessions are held at the Attunement Sanctuary and scheduled through me by phone or email. The fee is currently $120 for an hour session.

Dream Work 101: Another wonderful opportunity with Pat Bradley happening this Sunday, June 27:
Held at Anne Avant’s fantastic Cedar Rock Yoga Studio, this workshop will be from 1-4:30 pm. Working with Pat on the symbolism of my dreams has provided rich insight into my experience of the change underway; I highly recommend her help in using the wisdom of your dreams for direction in life’s challenges! $45. To sign up, contact Anne at (501) 470-0138 or email avantaa@sbcglobal.net. For more info and for directions to the studio, see www.cedarrockyoga.com.

Personal Attunement Energy Sessions
Nothing like an Attunement session to help you relax and let go! These sessions are perfect for rising above perceived limitations and opening up to the vast radiant Love with which you are One. A beautiful experience. Attunement sessions can be scheduled by phone or email; 1 hour, $60. I would welcome such a time together.


Blessings on our letting go and trusting Life!

April 2010
Hello Friends,

The group of us who came together weekly for the “Transformation Tuesday” series here in March had a great time! And we found that going to this core place in us was, indeed, transformational. Every interior visit seemed to give more nourishment to our emerging butterfly selves.

Events here at the Attunement Sanctuary in Conway are expressly for visiting the Light Within and opening to the heightened awareness and natural flowering that this reunion brings. I’m delighted to share more transformative opportunities offered for the month of April!

NEW: Integrated Counseling and Energy Sessions, together with Pat Bradley, LPC

The two of us are now offering joint sessions. These are special times of personalized energetic support for improved health and well-being through deep relaxation, imagery and dreamwork.

Sessions are held at the Attunement Sanctuary and scheduled through me by phone or email. The fee is currently $120 for an hour session.

Group Healing Session with Dr. Dan Matthews on April 28, 6:30-9:00
If you’d like to be in on an evening of heightened vibrational world blessing, mark your calendars for Wednesday, April 28! Two years ago, Dan Matthews spoke here of the BIG picture of paradigm changes underway on planet Earth and demonstrated to us the gift of healing that he received several years ago in a near-death experience. This month, Dr. Matthews returns to share his current understanding of the significance of these times and to lead us in a unique and powerful “Group Healing Session”. The configuration of participants gathered will determine the healing work to be done through us. Recent group healings in Texas and New Mexico have prepared the way for this. By adding your Presence, you give and receive a blessing. A love donation of $35 is requested. *Kindly RSVP if you plan on coming.

Personal Attunement Energy Sessions
Attunement sessions are absolutely wonderful at facilitating “visits to this place” in us which Dr. Chopra eloquently describes in the quote above. Opening more fully to the radiant presence of Love within, we rise above limitations and connect with the power and freedom of that which is calling us forth. Is this what is next for you? Attunement sessions can be scheduled by phone or email. I would welcome such a time together.


Blessings on all that is transforming in and through you,
Pamela

The article covered four "agents of positive change" in central Arkansas. The overall theme of the issue was on Inspired Change and Sacred Activism. I was so glad to be included with the likes of Terri Menefee of Artchurch Studio in Hot Springs, Sandra Leyva and Shawn Giocoechea of La Lucha Space in Conway, and Nao Ueda of Little Rock.

Natural Awakenings is distributed free all over Central Arkanasas. It's helping us awaken, naturally.

From page 11 of that issue:

While Hot Springs may be known for its galleries and arts community, the city of Conway is becoming a place where progressive people meet to solve problems and exchange ideas related to sustainability. Pamela Mosley, a Certified Advanced Attunement Practitioner and Conway resident, is a fervent supporter of the group now known as Sustainable Faulkner County and its innovative “Open Space Forums.”

Sustainable Faulkner County, a volunteer group that seeks to “work in partnership, united for the purpose of discovering ways to build and nurture sustainable communities,” is currently working with Hendrix College and local government to encourage sustainability.

The annual forums, led by professional Open Space Technology facilitator Michael Vinson, have taken place since 2007 and were inspired by Dr. David Korten, best-selling author of “The Great Turning.” The premise of open space meetings that welcome people of all walks of life, Pamela explains, is that “deep wisdom and unlimited creativity can come from any gathering of people who come together with the intention of thoughtful, heart-full listening, sharing and imagining around a particular issue or concern.”

Already, Conway’s Open Space Forums are bearing fruit: Mayor Tab Townsell says, “It was in a breakout session at the fall forum that we first got the idea for revolving loan programs for homeowners’ energy efficient improvements and for new homes built to Energy Star certification.” Approved by the Conway City Council last June, the programs are now awaiting Department of Energy grant funding. Other new initiatives begun by “action groups” within the context of the forums include work with organic local agriculture, biking in Conway, clean energy and green building.

In her work, detailed online at TrueToTheLightWithin.com, Pamela experiences the healing results of attuning the body’s energies; it is a natural progression to extend that process to the community and the world.

“I sense a process of self-awakening underway that opens us to perceive and experience ourselves as particular expressions of one interrelated whole,” Pamela explains. “When we come ‘in tune’ with who we are and our vital contributions to life, we're on the way to building a healthy, sustainable world that works for everyone.”

The time for being good caterpillars is over! Now is the time for yielding to the divine metamorphosis underway in each of us and in the world. Impelled from within, necessitated from without, could it be that our current breakdowns simply accompany our own natural and timely breakthroughs into our higher order Selves?

Transformation Tuesdays, beginning in March 2010
This will be a time set aside for conscious engaging with the evolution of our own personal capacities and dedicated to the wider spiritual flowering of humanity. Through guided meditations, creative expression and energetic attuning, we’ll venture into the heart of our little cocoons and see what is stirring to awaken there! As groups have experienced here previously, a shared intention of opening to this emerging “newness of life” wondrously expands our intuitive abilities and serves to deepen the trust in the presence and guidance of our “inner holiness.”

To join in the Transformation Tuesdays happening in March, please register prior to March 1 with a phone call or email. We’ll be meeting in the evenings from 7:00-8:30 in the Sanctuary behind my home at 1260 Hunter Street in Conway. A suggested donation of $10-20 each week will contribute to snacks, smiles and synergistic surprises! All are welcome, kindly spread the word!

Personal Attunement Energy Sessions
“What brings you here today?,” I asked a client this week. “I can tell I’m off-balance and uncentered and this always connects me back up again” was the response.

This client knows that our energetic patterning sets the stage for the thoughts and behaviors that appear in daily life. Attunement sessions serve as a vital reconnection to the calm in the storm; the still, small voice; the inner holiness. Such a reconnection brings with it deep restoration and clears the way for the emergence of new life.

Getting “connected back up” is a big blessing to yourself and to the world. It’s a blessing for me to offer these sessions. Sessions are $60/hour and can be scheduled by phone or email. I welcome hearing from you!

Blessings and peace as we stay in the sure knowing of transformation,
Pamela

Well, I was delighted to view the movie at a 3D theater in Little Rock last weekend. I recommend seeing it however you can! At the end, I kept waiting for the credits to acknowledge the lush planet Pandora and the various galactic beings involved in the making of the film.

After a night of processing the messages, this came forth in my journal the next morning:

“I am the avatar. My breathing connects me to this local role-play. I love being all of who I AM. I appreciate the game! All is well.”

From the December 2009 Natural Awakenings magazine article, "Arkansas Readers On...How to Keep the Holiday Spirit Alive All Year", by Linda Sechrist, page 9.

LumenEssence owner and Attunement practitioner Pamela Mosley says the true question for her is how to keep the holiday spirit from ever dying out:

“It is our nature to be loving, generous, compassionate, kind – all the things we are present to at the holidays – but we get caught up in the busyness of our everyday lives and forget who we really are. The Holy Days, or holidays are for that – we get permission to express from a deeper place. And it feels good because that’s what is natural to us."

“I have found that slowing down, taking some time out, removing myself from that which causes me stress is helpful in remembering who I am at the deepest level. And fun! Fun and play help to fuel my own desire to create something, to keep that spirit alive.”

First of December, 2009

Hello Friends,
I love this poem by mystic poet Kabir because I love paying attention to the invisible lifebird! In this last month, I’ve been dancing (literally!) to new verses of my lifebird’s song. It’s like I’m experiencing my next level of freedom. Others around me have been describing times of change - breakdowns and breakthroughs – that open their cage door to the singing, hidden in visible matter. When you pay attention, what do you hear?

True to Your Light Within: Personal Energy Sessions
Dancing to new verses of my song has taken my Attunement work to a new level! It seems that as we are all shifting and changing, our capacity for energetic connection has heightened. “I’m feeling the energy more than I ever have before” has been a common response to these new sessions.

In celebration and gratitude, I am glad to offer hour-long sessions at a “pick your price” fee for the month of December! If you’re feeling ready for clearer, more balanced energy so that your own song can be heard, please give yourself the gift of a personal energy session this month. And, because our energy affects all those around us … it ends up being a gift all the way around.

Sessions can be scheduled by phone or email. I welcome hearing from you!

Well, Reverend Angela says it simply and beautifully in this quote taken from today’s “Morning Blessing”. What’s our task in this time of increased intensity, personally, nationally, planet-wide? To learn to relax. Trust in a design of Life beyond our thinking and figuring. Know that we are so much more than our bodies and personalities. Relax. There’s a deeper knowing. Let our Soul express itself.

I enjoy starting my day with such reminders.

Let’s help each other wake up and remember what we’re doing here!

Blessings of the fall equinox! With the freshness that comes with this new season come also new opportunities to share resonant heart space together. Entering that “bowl of vastness” and being present to what is always and already right there at hand feels to me like entering the “kingdom of God.” Where two or three are gathered in such a shared intention, the power of Love is transformingly present! What a gift we can be for each other; what a beautiful love offering to our Universe.

Meet Local Green Peeps!
February 11, 2009


Chances are, if you are reading this blog, you support green causes. You go to meetings, you visit local farmers’ markets, and soon you start running into familiar faces. You know their names, but have you ever wondered what they do to be GreenAR? Well, Meet Local Green Peeps! hopes to satisfy your curiosity about area green people and what they do to be GreenAR in the Natural State. So, without further ado, let’s get started!

What Do You Do? I co-create with the flow of Life! I hold a vision, nurture seeds, encourage, empower, help people remember who they are, and help see a new era into being. I do that as an Attunement practitioner and sustainability activist.

Steps Taken to be GreenAR:

Spending time outside relating to my natural environment, like walking and biking around town (my bike has 4 baskets now, so I can even grocery shop), hanging clothes to dry, tending to the growing things (I’m a new raised-bed gardener!), watching nature happen.

I generally buy thrift, local, recycled, organic, fair-trade, nontoxic, or long-lasting, high quality. Or I don’t buy at all. I’ve found our county library to be very receptive to new book suggestions, the local resale shops and “free” listings in the classifieds are great, and we love supporting our local farmers through Conway Locally Grown and the Conway Basket-a-Month program. We’ve found great used building materials, including stained-glass doors for my backyard Sanctuary!

At home, we’re always finding more ways to be energy efficient. When we needed a new roof, we vented it, and when we needed a new refrigerator, we found one with a high energy-star rating. We replaced our ancient water heater with an on-demand model that heats water in a small tank as it’s needed. We’ve been experimenting with a new (used) wood-burning stove, and, with the federal subsidy help, we’ve got 5 solar panels tied in to Conway Corp’s energy grid. We watch the thermostat, heat and cool rooms as needed, use electric powerstrips and low-energy lights, and wash laundry cold.

We consolidate errands that need a car-trip and share the ride to glass-recycling in Maumelle with a neighbor. (Fortunately, Conway offers curb-side recycling pick-up for most everything else, which now also including styrofoam, #1-7 plastics and even old clothes.) I’ve been eating less meat and not ordering meat at restaurants that don’t buy organic. We compost our leaves and kitchen scraps in our backyard compost bin and keep re-usable bags handy for groceries.

In the last year or so, I’ve chosen to travel by bus and have made trips to Iowa, Minnesota, and Virginia on the Jefferson and Greyhound lines. I look forward to continued improvements in the bus system and/or when megabus.com makes it to Arkansas!

I support events like Arkansas Earth Day and the Faulkner County Sustainability Forums, publications like Natural Awakenings and YES! Magazine, and networking opportunities like Conway Green Drinks and SustainAR.org. I’ve been communicating with my elected officials about things like the proposed coal-burning power plant, “Green for All” ideas, and the sale of raw milk.

And I’m getting better at not “shoulding” on myself and others! So beyond the 3 R’s of reduce, reuse and recycle, I enjoy retreat, relinquish, re-envision, reconnect, restore, relax, and reclaim!

Hard-to-Take Steps:

I enjoy engaging in a multitude of creative endeavors and can be challenged to do that at a level and pace that remains energizing! I would do well to have computer-free days, more art time, and Clean and Repair Parties.

I’ve been intending to take reusable containers to restaurants for carry-out and haven’t remembered yet.

I love very full, very hot baths, even in a drought.

I gave up on ink cartridge refills for my computer because of some messy trials a few years ago. Maybe it’s time to try that again.

I’d like to be a better steward of summertime vegetables and learn to “put food by”, but I’ve been saying that for many years now.

Email is great AND I still like to actually send things in the mail, sometimes big things… sometimes just for fun.

Future Steps to be GreenAR:

I’m so interested in a water catchment system at our house and have started gathering information about that. We’re slowly turning our front yard into a front garden space, and I plan to keep replacing grass with natives and edibles with curb appeal.

When it comes time to replace our ’91 Toyota, we’ll be on the lookout for a hybrid or electric. And maybe we can share a vehicle with another household.

In fact, I’m envisioning some type of co-housing arrangement where we can share meals, resources, and lives. I want to support a storefront food co-op in Conway, maybe also serving as a community meeting/sharing/learning space that will help us discover and communicate about more harmonious ways of living. I wonder about a community barter system and/or a local currency.

And I want to try cooking and baking in a solar oven.

Favorite AR Produce, Businesses & Groups:

We love anything that Sue and Rusty Nuffer grow, and we love that we can order it easily through http://conway.locallygrown.net. Favorite chickens and eggs are from Falling Sky Farm. We like the fun and healthy surprises in our All Arkansas baskets. Our own dear pecan trees were so wonderful to us and to the neighborhood squirrels this year. And sourdough spelt bread from a wood-fired oven at Serenity Farm is an all-time favorite.

Penny Rudder’s Clean Plate Club has been a great service. She’s in Little Rock, and every week she emails recipes and meal ideas for the local foods in season. She’s at www.naturalfoodscooking.com.

Liz’s Health Market on Oak Street in Conway has been so receptive to special ordering items not in stock, making it easier for me to shop local.

Companions Thrift Store on Washington Street in Conway seems to always have quality goods at great prices, and with all the proceeds going to the Humane Society, I can imagine my shopping as community service!

I’ve met some great people through Arkansas Earth Institute’s discussion courses and look forward to taking more.

If You Can Do One Thing to Make the Natural State Even More Natural, What Would You Do? I would give everyone the opportunity to slow down and deeply experience the absolute awe of the amazing, beautiful and interconnected web of life. Then, our choices might shift from the present artificial, conventional, unsustainable ways toward brand new choices in accordance with nature and with what is natural to each of us and the unfolding of life.

Pamela Mosley

Contribution to Profession
In Pamela’s line of work, her intent is to live ever more “in tune” and in harmony with the deepest truth she can access. She offers personal Attunement sessions in a sanctuary space that caters to discovering harmony. According to Pamela, in these sessions, life force energy is radiated into the world and contributes to peace on all levels.
Recently, her essay titled, “Who Do You Think You Are?” was published in the anthology, Conscious Choices: An Evolutionary Woman’s Guide to Life, a further contribution to the field of Attunement. Check out www.evolutionarywomen.org for more information about the guide.

Public and Community Service
Two years ago, Pamela committed to hosting the internationally known global awareness author and speaker, David Korten. Desiring to serve the community and share Korten’s “Great Turning” vision, $2000 was raised and over 100 people got involved. The original group later became the Faulkner County Supporters of Sustainable Communities (FCSSC). Now over 400 people are part of the group and plans are underway for their third Sustainability Forum this fall.

Creation and Implementation of unique initiative in the workplace or community
In 2009, Pamela has been part of a co-creative team to offer a new eco-spiritual initiative in central Arkansas. The initiative is called Our Natural State. The team organizes “seasonal outings and sacred sojourns to help participants experience a reconnection with the power and beauty of the divine nature within and all around us.”

Mentoring others
Pamela encourages creative expression and believes her encouragement will effect future generations. She is also involved in mentoring others, including:
• Raising her two sons
• Introducing “earth listening” to area preschoolers
• Offering grade-school summer activities for Young Leaders
• Being a guest presenter at college religion classes and encouraging FCSSC leadership
• Founded a high school organization in Austin, Texas, 10 years ago that recently received national attention for its successful presence in Austin high schools. The organization encourages students to discover and trust their own inner direction to offer their gifts into the world.
Pamela is an Attunement Practitioner and the only one practicing it in Arkansas.. She describes what she does by saying, “It’s a particular way of working with life force energy to bring balance and harmony to body, mind, and heart for myself and my clients.” Although her sessions are one-on-one, she involves herself with the community to encourage and empower whole-self participation as a harmonious way of life on the planet. Next year she will be involved with Humanity Unites Brilliance (HUB) and is hoping to increase local participation in the organization. Pamela also said she is going to explore ideas about bartering and local currency, freely rest as needed, and dance with the changes! She reminds herself often, “Life can be trusted.” Put simply, “I live by this process of letting go and being awed by the infinite creativity of life.”

A collaborative outworking of women telling their stories of personal awakening and empowerment. I've loved being a participant in the international group “Evolutionary Women” and the story I wrote, “Who Do You Think You Are?” was one of many that emerged in our co-creative process of sisters sharing from the heart to produce this 2008 release.

Each account is a personal story of a woman awakening to embody new and fuller aspects of herself. Together the stories reveal how wide-ranging life experiences can become doorways into new modes of living and relating that ripple out beyond one’s immediate life and have an effect on our collective planetary experience.


From the back cover:
Every choice you make has an impact; an impact that ripples beyond your immediate life and has an effect on the world. Conscious Choices shares the inspirational stories of 44 Evolutionary Women who realize the impact of their choices, and have leveraged their life experience (both tragic and triumphant) to make choices that contribute to the creation of a world that works for everyone.

You may be asking, What is an Evolutionary Woman? An Evolutionary Woman is you. They are mothers and teachers, bank presidents and artists, entrepreneurs and healers, and so much more. According to Barbara Marx Hubbard, President of the Foundation for Conscious Evolution, an Evolutionary Woman is: One who is connected through the heart to the whole of life, attuned to the deeper intelligence of nature, called forth irresistibly by spirit to creatively express her gifts in the evolution of the self and the World.

The stories revealed by evolutionary women in this book will make you laugh, cry, believe, pray, relate, heal and feel a part of something much larger than yourself. Inside this book, you'll: Discover the power and resilience inside every woman, including you; Feel supported through the ups and downs of your journey through life; Gain insight on how to make conscious choices everyday; Discover how to make a difference in the world simply by living your life to the fullest - And much more!

www.evolutionarywomen.org- Copies of the book are available through me for $15 + postage as well as through this website. I hope you enjoy the book!
