Join Michael Cameron and me Saturday, May 19th as we chat with Amethyst Wyldefyre, Multidimentional Shaman, Sound Healer, & Soul’s Path Coach. Journey with Amethyst as she unveils the 3 biggest blocks to actually being in your power, and  3 simple steps to ERADICATE them for good!

A successful and award-winning entrepreneur since her mid-20′s, Amethyst Wyldfyre – The Speakers Shaman and Divine Destiny Mastery Mentor is an EMPOWERED Messenger!  As a Multidimensional Visionary Speaker, Author, Teacher and Artist, she specializes in serving visionary leaders and conscious entrepreneurs who want to feel safe and powerful; are ready to LEAP fearlessly into their highest level of service; and who want to profit handsomely from following their Spiritual path.

I heard Amethyst speak a couple of months ago, and I knew I must have her as guest on Love Bites to share her wisdom with my audience!  Since personally, my path has been and has continued to include finding my own power and voice and feeling safe to express it, I resonate with the gifts that Amethyst has and how she helps so many to express openly, honestly and safely.  I know first hand how damaging it can be to a relationship and to our health when we are not honest with ourselves, which then prevents us to show up fully and real with our partners and our children.  Fortunately, I have move past the fears that held me back in these realms of my life.  As I connect more strongly and fearlessly to my mission of connecting you to love and all the gifts that offers, I must continue to move past my own blocks so that I can genuinely and honestly offer my gifts and wisdom for the higher good of us all.

So, please join us for “Love Bites” so that you can discover if perhaps you are hiding from expressing your voice in your life and work.

Amethyst has generously offered a Gift package for you which includes a complimentary subscription to The Empowered Edge Ezine – packed full each month with spiritual AND practical technologies for the Empowered Messenger; an opportunity to apply for a complimentary Strategic Empowerment Evaluation (SEE) appointment; and one of a selection of guided Empowered Messenger Support audios, videos, or reports (periodically updated to keep things fresh).

For the past 30 years Caren has dedicated her personal and professional life to communicating and connecting with people. Her past experiences have allowed her to meet many different people and make a difference in their lives.  In the early 90’s she was a children’s rock and roll singer, signed with Rhino Records.  She traveled the country singing songs of self-esteem.  That experience culminated with a concert at Carnegie hall.  During that same time she owned a creative arts company that provided programming for the public and private schools sector in Los Angeles.  Her 50 plus teachers brought art programs back, which had been cut out of the schools because of budget cuts. Caren has learned a lot about what it takes for people to create positive experiences in their lives while following their passions.  Today, as the founder of Promote Your Passion she focuses on helping people connect and create better lives for themselves.

One of my passions is speaking to inspire and teach others how to connect and live their own passionate lives and more importantly to engage in passionate partnerships in their  personal and professional lives.  I knew I wanted to be part of this movement with Caren.  Set the intention.  Put attention on it.  Let go of attention.  I learned this from Chris and Janet Atwood and I teach it through my work as a Passion Test Facilitator.  So, I am thrilled to be part of the panel at the Promote Your Passion event in New York on June 5th, 2012.

Origin of Mother’s Day goes back to the era of ancient Greek and Romans. But the roots of Mother’s Day history can also be traced in UK where a Mothering Sunday was celebrated much before the festival saw the light of the day in US.

However, the celebration of the festival as it is seen today is a recent phenomenon and not even a hundred years old. Thanks to the hard work of the pioneering women of their times, Julia Ward Howe and Anna Jarvis that the day came into existence. Today the festival of Mothers day is celebrated across 46 countries (though on different dates) and is a hugely popular affair.

Millions of people across the globe take the day as an opportunity to honor their mothers, thank them for their efforts in giving them life, raising them and being their constant support and well wisher.

Earliest History of Mothers Day

The earliest history of Mothers Day dates back to the ancient annual spring festival the Greeks dedicated to maternal goddesses. The Greeks used the occasion to honor Rhea, wife of Cronus and the mother of many deities of Greek mythology.

Ancient Romans, too, celebrated a spring festival, called Hilaria dedicated to Cybele, a mother goddess. It may be noted that ceremonies in honor of Cybele began some 250 years before Christ was born. The celebration made on the Ides of March by making offerings in the temple of Cybele lasted for three days and included parades, games and masquerades. The celebrations were notorious enough that followers of Cybele were banished from Rome.

Early Christians celebrated a Mother’s Day of sorts during the festival on the fourth Sunday of Lent in honor of the Virgin Mary, the Mother of Christ. In England the holiday was expanded to include all mothers. It was then called Mothering Sunday.

History of Mother’s Day: Mothering Sunday

The more recent history of Mothers Day dates back to 1600s in England. Here a Mothering Sunday was celebrated annually on the fourth Sunday of Lent (the 40 day period leading up to Easter) to honor mothers. After a prayer service in church to honor Virgin Mary, children brought gifts and flowers to pay tribute to their own mothers.

On the occasion, servants, apprentices and other employees staying away from their homes were encouraged by their employers to visit their mothers and honor them. Traditionally children brought with them gifts and a special fruit cake or fruit-filled pastry called a simnel. Yugoslavs and people in other nations have observed similar days.

Custom of celebrating Mothering Sunday died out almost completely by the 19th century. However, the day came to be celebrated again after World War II, when American servicemen brought the custom and commercial enterprises used it as an occasion for sales.

History of Mother’s Day: Julia Ward Howe

The idea of official celebration of Mothers day in US was first suggested by Julia Ward Howe in 1872. An activist, writer and poet Julia shot to fame with her famous Civil War song, “Battle Hymn of the Republic”.

Julia Ward Howe suggested that June 2 be annually celebrated as Mothers Day and should be dedicated to peace. She wrote a passionate appeal to women and urged them to rise against war in her famous Mothers Day Proclamation, written in Boston in 1870. She also initiated a Mothers’ Peace Day observance on the second Sunday in June in Boston and held the meeting for a number of years.

Julia tirelessly championed the cause of official celebration of Mothers Day and declaration of official holiday on the day. Her idea spread but was later replaced by the Mothers’ Day holiday now celebrated in May.

History of Mother’s Day: Anna Jarvis

Anna Jarvis is recognized as the Founder of Mothers Day in US. Though Anna Jarvis never married and never had kids, she is also known as the Mother of Mothers Day, an apt title for the lady who worked hard to bestow honor on all mothers.

Anna Jarvis got the inspiration of celebrating Mothers Day from her own mother Mrs. Anna Marie Reeves Jarvis in her childhood. An activist and social worker, Mrs. Jarvis used to express her desire that someday someone must honor all mothers, living and dead, and pay tribute to the contributions made by them.

A loving daughter, Anna never forgot her mothers word and when her mother died in 1905, she resolved to fulfill her mothers desire of having a mothers day. Growing negligent attitude of adult Americans towards their mothers and a desire to honor her mothers soared her ambitions.

To begin with Anna, send Carnations in the church service in Grafton, West Virginia to honor her mother. Carnations were her mothers favorite flower and Anna felt that they symbolized a mothers pure love. Later Anna along with her supporters wrote letters to people in positions of power lobbying for the official declaration of Mothers Day holiday. The hard work paid off. By 1911, Mother’s Day was celebrated in almost every state in the Union and on May 8, 1914 President Woodrow Wilson signed a Joint Resolution designating the second Sunday in May as Mother’s Day.

much love,

In today’s show we are going to talk about how unhealthy relationships can negatively affect your health, emotions, and spirit. Many people are unaware that they are being affected by the relationships in their life.  Unfortunately most of the relationships that hurt us most involve family members and friends.  Toxic relationships are not just about obvious physical abuse.  Judgments, criticism, negativity, unrealistic expectations, withholding love, competition, and betrayal are examples of unhealthy relationships that can be impacting you negatively.

Since I have not yet asked her permission to share her correspondence with me, I will not be using real names.

Since working together, this lovely young woman has made some difficult life decisions, found peace within herself in regards to her ex, engaged in and ended a relationship that was not ideal for her, and is now dating a wonderful man.  Here is what she has shared with me as she embarks on this new path of love.

“We had a very ironic conversation last night pertaining to what you and I talked about in regards to dependency on others. He said that he’d always gone for girls that were really dependent on him because it felt good to needed.  But that now he wants more of a partner in life.  He’s helping me to see that its OK to be doted on and cared for, too!  It’s funny that you told me that I am helping him to see that, because he told me that I am good for him.”

I helped her see that partnerships in relationships involve giving AND receiving in both parties of the best you each have to offer each other.  Partnerships are complementary to each other. Two whole identities create a shared energy of relationship.

She is handling gracefully the very challenging experience of his ex-girlfriend trying to hang on and interfere with their budding relationship.

“We are reaching new heights! He’s really getting me out of my shell and has been a safe person for me to grow with.”

Aah, the true expression of a healthy relationship!
