The ABC Herbal
March 6th, 2006
My father sent me this book when my first daughter was about 3. I’m so pleased to see it’s still in print. Over the years it’s eliminated a lot of worry for me and discomfort for my children. It has stood the test of time.
Summary
The ABC Herbal: A Simplified Guide to Natural Health Care for Children contains herbal remedies and common sense advise to help children, and adults, overcome illnesses faster by giving the body what it needs to heal. Generally, symptoms of illness are really signs that the body is healing itself.
How I use it
When my children are sick I look for natural ways of helping them heal. I use the following elements: energy healing (Reiki), herbs, homeopathy, positive affirmations, preventive measures, food (either giving helpful ones or cutting out conflicting ones), rest and lots of love.
Caution
As always use your own judgment and intuition. "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure," someone once said.

Conversations with God
March 4th, 2006
How the conversation started
There is a self-healing technique that has been used quite successfully for many years. I’m not sure how it got started or what it’s called but it involves writing a letter to anyone and everyone that you have a problem with or feel has wronged you in any way. These letters aren’t usually sent and sometimes they are even burned (in a safe way) to transmute the negative energy. Well, Neale Donald Walsch had been doing this for a while and he had run out of people to write letters to. His life still wasn’t where he wanted it to be so one day he sat down and wrote the ultimate letter: to God. He was mad and wrote down everything he was feeling and included a lot of questions. From page one he writes, "To my surprise, as I scribbled out the last of my bitter, unanswerable questions and prepared to toss my pen aside, my hand remained poised over the paper, as if held there by some invisible force. Abruptly, the pen began moving on its own. I had no idea what I was about to write, but an idea seemed to be coming, so I decided to flow with it. Out came… Do you really want answers to these questions or are you just venting?" And so started Neale Donald Walsch’s ongoing conversation with God making him a messenger for all humanity.
The Series
He has written several books since then but the three books named Conversations with God (CwG) Book 1, 2, and 3 are included in the one book called: The Complete Conversations with God. Book 1 deals with issues of a personal nature, book 2 with global issues and book 3, universal issues.
My thoughts before I read this book
I got this book through a spiritual book club years before I ever read it. Something drew me to order it. I didn’t read it because I thought it was about religion. My background drew me toward spirituality and away from religion so I wasn’t into reading anything religious at all.
I finally read it
Martin picked up book 1 and read it first. He said it was along the lines of what we both believed so I joined him in reading it. I just love when we read things together; it sparks great conversations between us. It wound up really altering the way we see the world.
Main things I got from it
I really understood that right and wrong don’t actually exist, and when people hurt themselves or each other they have just forgotten who they are. Seeing everyone, and myself, as part of God helps to remind me, and consequently them, of who they are. Neale wrote a children’s book about this very process in The Little Soul and the Sun. I also got a huge reminder that everything we do is done by choice. It may seem at times we have no choice but we always have a choice. Deciding not to decide is a choice. It’s been a while since I read the books, and I’ve read most of his other books as well so some of the themes of each cross over from one book to the next.
Life altering
I must say if I hadn’t read these books I wouldn’t have stayed in my marriage. It hit home with me that I can choose to stay in the relationship or leave. After careful discussions and pondering we both decided to stay. Before reading the Conversations with God books our relationship was on the rocks. Once we realized we weren’t trapped, that we were actually choosing to stay, things started getting better. We celebrate our 10th anniversary this year and things are the best they’ve ever been.
Saving the planet
As I’ve said before the earth will go on. The only question is whether the humans will go on with her so the phrase "Saving the planet" isn’t really accurate. If I wrote it the way I wanted to "Saving our own a _ _ _ s" Google wouldn’t like it. How about "Saving our own tails"? For this example I’ll stick with "Saving the planet" because that’s how most people think of it. Anyway, if we change the way we think about God, as suggested in these books, we have a chance of the best days of humankind being ahead of us instead of behind us.
Audio books
These are done very well. The voice of God alternates between a man and a woman so we don’t get fixated on the thought that God is either a man or a woman.
Supporting websites
Neale Donald Walsch has taken his role as messenger very seriously. He has created several programs and websites supporting and teaching the principles he received in Conversations with God.

Home with God – sending it to the best sellers list
March 4th, 2006
If you love Conversations with God and love helping make the world a better place then here’s something you can do to help. Neale Donald Walsch’s new book, Home with God: In a Life That Never Ends is being released on March 29th. You can make a difference by ordering the book from Amazon.com that day and sending it straight to the NY Times Best-Sellers list so the word spreads like wild fire! Read this excerpt from Neale’s latest weekly bulletin:
"MARCH 29 is the day that I am asking all my friends everywhere, if you are planning on getting this book anyway, to please order it from amazon.com or barnes&noble.com. If we can create enough sales for the book on that one day, we can drive it to the best seller list — and that means that it will come to the attention of many, many other people around the world! So please, if you are thinking of adding this final dialogue in the CwG series to your library, ORDER IT ON THIS DAY: MARCH 29, 2006.
HOME WITH GOD in a Life That Never Ends looks deeply at the most important aspects of life by exploring deeply its most misunderstood process: death and dying. This mystical text describes what occurs in the moments following our departure from physicality, the journey of the Soul through its merging with The Essence, and the miracle of re-emergence, when the Unified Soul becomes once again a Singular Expression of Divinity, carrying the same identity it held at death, but with an Expanded Awareness that produces the experience of what humans call "heaven," "paradise," "nirvana," or "bliss."
Here is information that has never appeared in any form in a previous CwG dialogue. HOME WITH GOD will bring to its readers gentle comfort and a deep awareness of the glory and the wonder of life—a life that never ends. It is as much about the here and now as it is about the hereafter, for, as the book itself declares, when you unravel the deepest mysteries about death, you unravel the deepest mysteries about life.
Please mark your calendar, and make WEDNESDAY, MARCH 29, "HOME WITH GOD DAY" by going to amazon.com or barnesandnoble.com and ordering the book on that day! By doing so, you will be playing your part in bringing its extraordinary message into the marketplace of ideas. Remember, it is from these ideas that humanity gets its next best idea about itself.
Thanks for doing what you can do, and God bless.
Neale"
