Hi Julie,

That's WONDERFUL news!!!! :)

And it couldn't happen to a more wonderful person too....

I feel that this is only the beginning of much much bigger things, Julie! I know it's only the start of what's to come! :)

I know that Woman's Day is just the beginning! :) Julie, I'm SO excited for you! And this shows that these things certainly can happen to the nicest and kindest people.... :)

Julie, I can't wait! I don't know if it will come out in the Australian edition, I'll have to figure out how to buy an American edition of Woman's Day so I can have a copy of the article! :)

I agree with you fully, Julie! Your advice really rings true for me....

I've had my own amazing experiences in physics.... I've mentioned before how I flunked 3rd year physics. Then, a few years after that, I found myself visiting Berkeley for 5 months. I had an office a few doors down from Charles Townes, the guy who essentially invented the laser, and who won a Nobel Prize in Physics for it. I even had access to his private library.

How do you go from one state (physics flunkee) to the other state (down the hall from a Nobel Prize winner, with access to his private library)?

You do it by following the kind of advice that Julie gives! Belief in yourself is one of the keys.... :)

I agree fully.... We can all surprise ourselves by what we can achieve.... I could mention many stories about it here!

> The steps

> 1. Gain as much knowledge as possible in

> the soul through deep contemplation as well
> as using it as a

> writing and speaking and creating supporting
> products) For
> you, maybe teaching or speaking or creating
> art...who knows?)

> 3. Continue to increase both the depth and
> breadth of the experience
> by challenging yourself to dig
> deeper....wider....look more and try things
> out.
> Just say no to fear......lack....scarcity.
> Fully embrace that YOU are perfect,
> whole and complete. Judge and compare
> neither yourself nor anyone else.
> Toss around your ideas with a loving,
> supportive, compassionate community
> where you are applauded simply for showing
> up as your authentic self.

> 4. Continue to up the ante, try on new
> distinctions. Integrate your core values
> into EVERYTHING. Show up everywhere as your
> life purpose. When it feels
> inauthentic? Tell fear, scarcity and lack to
> hit the road, and stand steadfast in what
> you believe to be true...your vision, your
> values, your purpose, your cause...whatever
> YOU call it!

> 5. Sit in gratitude, love radically, give
> abundantly, receive with joyful humility.
> When you believe you are doing all of these,
> kick it up a notch. Add a dash of
> passion, a touch of clarity, and laugh
> through the fine tuning.

I fully agree.... Julie, this is really good and important advice!

Julie, you're a wonderful example of those principles in action.... I don't know if I've mentioned this before, but you're really one of my inspirations.... :)

Thank you for sharing your inspiring experience and that very true advice! :)

I'm so excited when I hear about wonderful and good people becoming great successes! It can and DOES happen! :)

You're an inspiration to me, and I know you are to many others too.... :)
