From My Heart to Yours - A Loving and
Warm Welcome FROM MY HEART TO YOURS, A LOVING AND WARM WELCOME: Here we are, already beginning the second month of 2008, believe it or not! You have, perhaps, like myself, begun the journey of living this next year of your life with the best of intentions. And there are so many intentions, aren’t there? Life is filled with choices and directions we can take but the key question we must ask, I believe, is... Do we choose to live a life founded on love or not? Science has validated the wonderful power of love. Even if you put science aside, most of us figure out, as we move through our years, that what matters most is this thing called Love. Not too long ago, a friend sent me a poignant story circulating on the internet, demonstrating the beauty and power of love. The story had to do with an older gentleman who had been to his doctor, telling the physician that he was concerned about being on time for his next appointment, a meeting at a nursing home with his wife, who was living with Alzheimer’s. The gentleman explained that though he went daily to be with his wife, she had not recognized him in five years. The doctor was surprised about his need to be on time since his wife did not remember or recognize him. The man’s reply, essentially, was, “She does not know me, but I still know who she is.” The doctor who wrote the article shared that she was so deeply moved (as I was) by this man and the love he felt for his wife, that she had to hold back her own tears. The doctor continued, stating that that she hoped to, one day, find such love. The doctor’s words were: “True love is neither physical, nor romantic. True Love is acceptance of all that is, all that has been, will be, and will not be.” From my perspective, whether this encounter actually took place is not important. The message is. Having treated patients whose loved ones have Alzheimer’s and having personally known some who live a similar situation, this piece touched my heart. Love is the reason you are here. Had this man been you, would you have chosen to love in the way he did? Choose wisely because the very heart of your existence rests on the quality of your choice. May you enjoy days filled with blessings of love every day of your life. With Warmth, Love and Light, Susan

Teach
only Love for that is what you are.
The law
of Love is that you are Love ,
Let your light shine. Be a source of strength and courage. Share your wisdom. Radiate love. Wilferd Peterson *********************************************************** ARTICLE - A Valentine's Day Guide to Living the Power of Love: This year, let Valentine’s Day be a reminder of honoring your first true love and definitely your most significant other – YOU! And, then, you can show others, including your family, coworkers, pets, neighbors and everyone else, how much you love them. Read on to see how you can reclaim your own power – power to manifest your heart’s desires. Let love be for you a way of living your life from your heart, with you loving you, unconditionally, first, as a matter of survival. Seriously, most of us tend to look for a validation that we are valued and loved by hoping another will send us a card, flowers, candy – or something that we think says we are lovable. Let’s get one thing straight now. The only one that means anything in communicating that you are an extraordinary being is ….Guess who?...You, of course! Since everything is energy and every thought you have ever had is known, experienced by and felt vibrationally by the cells in your body, you need to be conscious of how you speak to yourself, both consciously and even unconsciously. Love is the energy that matters here. So, live consciously, with intention, always choosing love to be your primary guide. What follows are GUIDELINES to help you live a loving life in which you live the energy of love, feeling it in every cell of your being. 1. USE THE POWER OF AFFIRMATIONS & PAY ATTENTION TO HOW YOU FEEL AND WHAT YOU SAY TO YOURSELF! Speak lovingly, in a warm, gentle voice and tone, to yourself. This is the vibration your cells want to feel. If you are feeling anything except good, you are probably focused on something negative. So, as we approach Valentine’s Day (and every day), consider saying affirmations to yourself such as I AM love, I AM lovable, I love who I am and all that I am. I love to give and receive love. I know who I am. I AM a loving, compassionate soul. 2. PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR BELIEFS, removing those that do not serve you. They represent a powerful vibration because your beliefs determine your thoughts and your thoughts create your reality. It is that simple. Again, everything is energy and you create and manifest your reality with the energy of your thoughts. Even if you believe you are a victim or unlovable, or not good enough, when you give yourself permission to say things like I AM Lovable, I Am Strong , I AM a super mom or dad, or I am a loving being and good enough, your cells are listening and the vibration of those words and thoughts lifts you energetically to a higher level, enabling you to begin to believe differently. It is a subtle but very real process – and it is doable.! Your cells are falling in love with you when you speak to them lovingly. 3. REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE… YOU WERE BORN KNOWING THAT YOU WERE A LOVING, AMAZING, POWERFUL BEING. If you question that now it is because you have forgotten who you are, perhaps because you have traded off parts of you in order to win the approval or whatever it is that you needed from others. For example, can you recall how wonderful it felt when you held a kitten, puppy, or even your own baby for the first time?. And do you recall feeling the embrace of a loved one, be it your mom, grandma or nana, father, grandfather, lover, or good friend? And we can include your precious pets as well, especially those delicious wet kisses or unexpected snuggles they give you. The second you recall, visualize or imagine anyone of these incredibly, forever treasured experiences of loving, compassionate energy, you release endorphins and a variety of other chemicals and neuropeptides. These immediately communicate with the cells of your body, relaxing you, filling you with a vibration of what some might describe as “heavenly”! You feel so soothed, comforted and, above all, loved. So take time to remember when! 4. FOCUS ON YOUR BREATH AND VISUALIZE the loving energy of the Universe filling you, especially your heart, with loving, healing, relaxing and peaceful energy. Several times a day, and especially first thing in the morning, spend just a few minutes, focusing on taking several deep breaths and observing your breath traveling through and into every cell of your being. As you breathe in, see the breath traveling through your body, feel warm, loving energy (the same you felt with the puppy, kitten or baby) permeating your being, causing you to lovingly and gently shift to a higher vibrational level. The vibrational shift to a higher level happens when you, in your mind’s eye, intend to be unconditionally loving and feel it in every cell of your being. Hugging yourself would be just fine, as well. And it is you loving you!! 5. UNCONDITIONAL LOVE = FORGIVE AND SURRENDER. Choose to acknowledge, feel, forgive and release old hurts and unresolved stuff from the past. Loving is about being fully in the moment. Live in the Moment! To be fully present and to come from love, you release anything vibrationally disturbing that you may be carrying around from the past. Whatever it is, it keeps you from manifesting your desires because it belongs to a lower level of energy – one which is weighing you down. 6. CHOOSE TO FORGIVE YOURSELF AND OTHERS. Why and how? You may ask yourself. Because as you forgive, release and surrender, you are releasing the burden of powerful negative energy blocking you from aligning with the high energy of your heart’s desires.. 7. LOVE YOURSELF DEARLY AND CELEBRATE YOU WITH LOVING ACTIONS! After reminding yourself of just how special you are, be sure to honor you by buying something beautiful for yourself, doing something lovely and special for you (such as taking a favorite class, going to the theater or sending yourself flowers), playing your own favorite music, going to a favorite restaurant, and creating opportunities to laugh and smile – a lot! Whatever you do, make it deliciously sweet and loving. When you do for yourself, you can hold your head high, feel more grounded and centered and know that you are energetically in such a good place that, by the Law of Attraction (like energy attracts like energy), you are attracting wonderful life experiences, and it is all because you chose to love yourself first. Once you have grounded yourself in your unconditional love and acceptance of you, you can truly give your love to others. 8. BELIEVE IN MIRACLES. BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF LOVE. ONE CANNOT EXIST WITHOUT THE OTHER. YES, YOU ARE A MIRACLE; YOU ARE LOVE……KNOW THAT YOU ARE LOVABLE, YOU ARE LOVED AND YOU ARE EXTRAORDINARY! *********************************************************** MORE OF MY FAVORITE QUOTES TO PONDER….
Wisdom tells me I am Nothing. CATCHING UP WITH SUSAN: Appearances, Presentations, Teachings and Book Signings: Book signings at Barnes & Noble in December went very well.

FINAL THOUGHTS: “A couple of months ago I gave a set of your CDs to an old woman who lives in the hills. Actually she is not that old, but she believes that she is and, thereby, has managed to create a body that reflects her thoughts. She has always been a sad lady without ever realizing that she was sad. I have long suspected that she could not read as she always came to the office with a list of problems that her daughter writes out for her; so your CDs seemed a perfect fit. At least, it seemed a good idea until I found out a few weeks later that she didn’t have a CD player and was too embarrassed to tell me. A few weeks ago this woman stopped by the office to return your CDs. The strangest thing had happened. A CD player had mysteriously been delivered to her door and she spent Christmas and the days that followed listening to wonderful stories of inspiration and healing. Perhaps for the first time, she realized that her life was not a happy one and that she could do something about it. She liked the CDs so much that the best thing that she could do with them was to make sure others could hear them. As she left the office that day I knew that she had been Touched by the Extraordinary!” I am so grateful to Bill for sharing this with me. I wrote Touched by the Extraordinary so that it would help so many, many people just like this woman. Please consider Touched by the Extraordinary if you know of someone, including yourself, who is in need of hope and assistance.With Warmth, Love and Light, Susan Apollon Please forward a copy of this newsletter to your friends and family, suggesting that they might want to sign up for their own copy at: http://www.touchedbytheextraordinary.com If you do not wish to receive this newsletter, to unsubscribe or change your options, visit the links at the bottom of this newsletter.
