says: I was feeling a bit down the other day so I decided to listen to some random music. The first song that cane on was " Better Now " by Collective Soul. I don't know exactly where that song came from, I don't remember downloading it but the lyrics snapped me right back to where I needed to be. I have gone back to it a dozen times and it reminds me that I am feeling better!

says: When I was in 10th grade at my high school, with my love and interest of other cultures, I walked into the English As A Second Language program and asked the teacher if I could be an assistant and recieve credit toward my high school class requirements. I met a Japanese girl who did not speak a word of English. I was so excited because I felt connected to her. I watched her draw pictures of lovely woman dressed in clothing of her designs. I told her how lovely I thought her drawings were and she smiled and measured me. A few days later, she presented me with a beautiful blouse she hand made. It fit me perfectly. One day she told me in her broken English she hoped her grandfather who was 90 years old and lived in Japan could see America before he died. I felt a strong intuition tell me to tell her she would do that and I hoped I would get to meet him as well. The next day, she disappered from the school and I thought I would never see her again. Four years later, I am at the bus station in Seattle and believe it or not, she is there with her grandfather. I cried as I hugged her and knew my destiny was to be her friend forever. We cooresponded for 10 years and about 3 years ago, I spent 17 days living with her in Japan. This is the most amazing thing I have ever done and I am so amazed and blessed to have had this opportunity to experience her culture in an authentic way. Although none of her family or friends spoke a word of English, they welcomed me and loved me as they loved their daughter and friends. I cried when I left this country behind because I wanted to stay. I will tell you with all my heart that when you go outside of the realm of what you would normally do or what your friends are doing just to be yourself and experience the beauty in finding out just how amazing life can be, you will never regret it. You will live with the knowledge and blessings that come from the special way you bless the world by just being you and embracing others as you would your own family. Sincerely, Julie
says: I'm amazed by the spirit of this program, it is the same one I have caried around for many years and it has taken one individual to put it together to reach others. Success and acquiring what you want is one concept, but truly living is quite another. I have found disappointment in success and fun and dynamics in failure. Finding the right balance has always been my weeknesses...and a person is only as strong as their weakest link.....I knew I would get the promotion, i worked really hard, it's taken me a lifetime of changing thoughts in my head...but what kicked me out of balance was the smack in the jaw from my partner that told me i could not do it...how does life get so wrong....I've learned other new disciplines....and you only change others by example. I've learned to write as the antidote to an unperfect relationship.
says: When I moved last year, I was packing books out of my old bedroom at my Mom's house and saw that I owned Charlotte's Web. I didn't even remember reading it, but when I saw the old cover and read the first few pages, it all came back to me, and it was a really weird feeling because I named my daughter Charlotte. I always knew I liked the name, and somehow forgot why.
says: Hey that's great. I am away from my mother now living in another country and I really miss her. I wish you the bests for you and your grandchildren.
says: When I first moved here to Canada my children (all grown up) were not happy and cut me off from all contact with them. That was 6 years ago. I found two of them on facebook just before Christmas, I mailed them and asked if they'd talk to me. At first my youngest daughter fired of nasty emails, but she was getting it all off her chest. Then on Boxing day I received another email to say she would tell me how my grandchildren were.. which was a wonderful surprise. I have a granddaughter I didn't know I had, along with the three that I did know...lol I have photographs of them all now, and they are gorgeous kids, and smart too. I'm a happy grandma...lol Aran
says: I went to a good friend from high school's house to buy honey off his dad.(He is a beekeeper and I like honey in my AM green tea.) My friend has long scince moved out, but I got to talking with his dad and mom and they met my Son for the first time. I don't know why, but it was just such a good expeireince, catching up, and watching my boy run around the house that I used to hang out in a lot when I was younger. I jus t felt so happy afterward. It was a great expeireince.
says: Sister was at a party friday night and bumped into my old girlfriend from 7th grade (12 years ago). Sister gave her my number, she called we talked for over an hour. Turns out she's going through many of the same things as me. Think I've started a much needed positive friendship.
says: Saw a friend riding a bicycle down the street who I hadn'nt seen in 2 years and when a talked to him last I was scared he was going to die homless in denver winter time. I hugged him for 5 minutes and then did it again. We talked for an hour and have not seen him since but I know he is ok.
says: You know adversity is a great tool the forges the geatness out of us to shape us with growth. So love yourself there is greatness in you that needs to be force out of you some way.
says: where does this answer go to.
says: That when I finally define exactly what it is I am looking for, and what I am not. I get what I am asking for, no matter how strong the feeling is, how strong that desire is, I don't get it until I write it down. This site is proof of that for me, and how I found it.
says: I was surprised to find Brian (PhilosophersNotes) here... speaks volumes to me about the authenticity of your intention to help others succeed.
says: My Surprise lately has been that someone has said that they love me, someone new in my life and I had all but given up on hearing those words again. I am still holding my breath, hoping that it isnt a dream and wont disappear on me in a puff of smoke as it has so many times in the past. I am hopeful and that is all that I can be. Micci
says: Had moved to Florida was living there a few months when someone at the grocery store called my name... my maiden name. It was a childhood friend who had moved to the same area many years ago. What a surprise, especially since we were about 7-10 when we saw each other last. Wild!!!
says: Well, basically I'm surprised at myself for waking up almost every morning now around daylight. I'm used to not even going to sleep until after daylight or just before and it's been that way for years. So I'm pretty surprised that I have been able to finally do this, and that I WANT to get up, I'm not doing it just because I think I'm supposed to. I wake up in the morning, usually before my clock even goes off, and I go ahead and get up, open the curtains wide and let the morning sunlight fill the room. The birds are always there right outside the window on their feeder a few feet away from me. If I opened the window I believe they would fly on in. They seem to watch me and are used to me being there. My window also overlooks the pond and I've been surprised out how beautiful it is in the morning sunlight, with the leaves falling off the trees, the ducks splashing around, and all the little things I haven't taken the chance to appreciate in a very long time. I grew up in another house on this same piece of land for 25 years and I never really appreciated it, or found the beauty and peace here that I do now. I always just wanted to move away, but I'm learning to appreciate the time that I have here before I do go away instead of dreading it. Another nice surprise in the morning is going to the kitchen window and watching 5 deer that come up into the yard from the edge of the woods at 7 a.m. every morning. They know I'm watching too, they keep an eye on me as they graze around and eat the corn we put out for them and the grass we planted for them. These are just a few of the "surprises" that I wake up to in the mornings now, and they've given me a little more of a reason to go ahead and get up and give me something to look forward to before I start my day.
says: I am not sure my "surprise" is the kind to which allude to in your question. This surprise has been slow and sweet. I am getting to know someone who I've always loved but for most of my life ignored. I'm starting to treat this person with the respect she deserves. I am in fact starting to love myself... each month, some times each week or day, there is a glimmer of this lovely person; she likes to let me know she's in there when things are tough. She wants me to know that I am safe. She appreciates that I love her now and that I take care of her - drinking water and taking vitamins - she is an acquaintance and an enigma, of which I have always been aware but never noticed until recently. Witnessing her emergence has surprised me....
says: You asked for a review of Tools To Life. I couldn't find a "review" tab, so I thought I'd send it this way. When I first started, I was full of excitement. The program really seemed to have everything I needed. As I continued, I became unsure. Some of the exercises seemed childish, silly, unnecessary; but you said to trust you, so I did, and did the exercises anyway. After a while, the exercises made sense. If you'd told us about the why beforehand, I doubt we'd have understood. We'd have likely skipped the exercise and missed the lesson, and the growth. As I've closed in on finishing Tools, I realize that the program didn't have everything I needed for my life, I had that all along. What I didn't have was the proper focus. That's what Tools is really all about. Focusing us in to live a concious life. My daily life consists of so many of the Tools. "My life is my decision.", "My attitude is my decision.", "Lights! Camera! Action!", and so many more. Now when I say my name, as in an introduction or work situation, it's not just my name; it's the embodiment of all that I am. Thanks Coach. Jay L. Pyburn
