Guest guest Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 That¹s excellent Felicity! Since I¹ve been doing this my focus has been so much better in every area of my life. It¹s like a magical key. Thanks for sharing that I have a quote in front of me that my business coach sent me: When you make it your goal to create the perfect relationship between you and your body, you are learning to have a perfect relationship with anyone you are with, including your mother, your friends, your lover, your children, your dog. - Don Ruiz On 4/4/06 2:14 PM, " Felicity " <Felizatee@...> wrote: > 'When we have our body and mind in order, everything else will > exist in the right place, in the right way.
