I know, Lenny!  They have been extra good.  And I, too, long to articulate as clearly as Michael! 


I love knowing that it is humanly possible, assuming Michael is human

This newsletter resonates strongly.  Thank you, Michael.

Again and again you have such a strength for articulating the chaos that goes on in my head.  By articulating as clearly as you do, I am catalyzed back onto my path "in the direction of health and well-being."  Thank you.

Thank you for helping me to shift my perspective from the "battle for a better me" to the fun me - bettering game, and reminding me that I don't ever have to play if I don't want to.  And that it is even okay if I don't win.

The newsletter also reminds of me of something I heard on one of your podcasts:  Something around us not having to always try to be unique or original, but to be authentic.     

I find your authenticity SO inspiring, and I find your authenticity new and refreshing (in other words unique and original) on a regular basis. 

Thank you.
With love and gratitude,
Wendy

Hi Michael! Hi Terri!

Are these shows going to be made available in the archives?
I noticed that Hayhouse didn't put them up either, and I unfortunately missed the live shows.

A loving fan,
Wendy

How fun, Michael!  Thank you for sharing that inspiring real life story!

Thanks for sharing...I really enjoyed what you wrote.  And I keep thinking, wow, he is only 19! 
Wishing you lots of fun on your adventures!
Love,
Wendy

I would agree with Terri!
Michael, you so inspire me with the way you keep outdoing yourself! Your coaching tips are already the best and then they get better!  How do you do what you do?!
May you be blessed even more, and thank you for sharing your blessings!
Love,
Wendy

Hi James,
I love your post.  It really names what we all do as humans--we are all doing our best and sometimes our best doesn't feel good enough.
I have been playing with the paradox that we are all good right now and we can all become better.  I even sometimes stand in the perspective that the world IS an amazing place to be born in AND everyone IS learning how to love and be happy whenever they wish.  The fun thing about this perspective is the more often I stand in it the easier it is to really see the truth in it.

What helps me to really see that ALL of us are good enough is a quote that I think is from Maya Angelou--it goes something like this:  If we knew how to do it better, we would...

Looking forward to reading your book.
Love,
Wendy

My vote is also to keep the forum.   The forum is different than facebook and twitter. 
I know that I will not read most of the messages and it is still a powerful resource. 

AND I also really get how full the internet is...

Michael, my real vote is that you do what is good for you.

love,
Wendy

Yes, welcome to the forum, James.

And Ben, I wish I wrote what Michelle wrote, because she hit it right on!  The woman of your dreams will knock you off your feet! 

My husband is and was always perfect too.

Thank you, Michelle, for reminding me 

Love,
Wendy

  Hi Peter,
I feel like I am missing something that you are trying to communicate.
Would you be willing to say more?
love,
Wendy

Hear, hear, Peter!

Hi Peter,

It is my opinion that we don't really "find out" what it is that we really want.   I believe we get to make up or just choose what it is that we really want. 

I know that I sometimes get stuck in the choosing process because I want to make the "right" choice, --and then I remember being stuck is not choosing anything, which is a choice too.

If I am lucky enough to notice I am stuck,  I can then ask myself what do I really want to want.

If whatever it is that I want turns out not to be what I really want then I pick something else to want.

How does that land with you?

love,
Wendy

Hi Ben,

I  felt compelled to share my experience with you in hopes that this might be helpful.

After dating many men, but not having found the perfect one (and knowing what I really wanted was the relationship with the man I would grow old with), I decided to commit to the man I was dating at the time. 

Early in our relationship, this man asked me: what if someone better comes along? -  I answered that I am sure someone better will come along, but I have chosen him! 

This doesn't mean that there weren't plenty of times  (especially at the beginning of the relationship) when I wanted to jump ship.  There have been lots of pivotal moments in our relationship, and at one of them, I called a girlfriend to tell her that I was going to end my relationship, and she said to me,
"Wendy, you can?t just leave the relationship everytime you don?t get what you want."  And she was so right!

Something my partner said (when asked if he missed dating other women) was that he knows what it is like to be in a new relationship for a few months or even for a year, but he was excited to find out what it would be like to be with the same woman for 12 years.

Now, coincidentally, 12 years later, we have two lovely sons, and I am more in love and more commited to him than I ever was in the first years of our relationship.

Again, I hope this was helpful.

Looking forward to hearing about your new commitment ,
Wendy
