Posted by on May 1, 2015 in Blog | 0 comments

I learned a lot about Soul last weekend, when I joined 3000 others at the Colorado Convention Center to attend Wayne Dywer’s I Can Do It Denver 2015 Conference. Wow. Did we ever do it. I want to share some highlights of the conference with you that were meaningful to me. They may help you find some relief in some emotional pain you may be feeling, and lift your spirits if you are depressed. The word Soul was used by almost every speaker.

Alphabet Tree to Lift Your Spirits Are trees talking to you? In this season of Christmas Trees, Hanukah Menorahs and Kwanza treats, I came across what I would call an Alphabet Tree in my doctor’s office. Taking up a full wall, this tree had “branching” words for different letters of the alphabet. Trees can be strong, protective, alive, beautiful and nurturing. We all have our own trees inside of us.
