Affirmative Prayer
Summary: Activating the Power of YES means putting our hearts, minds, and voices behind the highest and best intentions of what we want-for ourselves, our loved ones, and our communities. Whatever we think, say, or do becomes a prayer to the universe, so learn to use this power wisely! Join Rev. Beverly Molander for Affirmative Prayer: Activating the Power of YES as she chats with a wide variety of well-known and respected guests from around the world to find out how they activated their own Power of YES-in relationships, health, prosperity, creative self-expression, or with organizations that make a positive impact. Instead of saying, "No, I don't want that," you'll be saying, "Yes, yes, yes, that's the kind of life and world I want!" Beverly or a guest says an affirmative prayer in the last show segment so you can learn how to use this valuable tool in your own life.

Death. It comes to everyone eventually, but we are always surprised and upset when it comes to someone we love.

Beverly talks with Dr. Heidi Horsley, cofounder of Open to Hope Foundation, about how to learn to live again after a loved one dies.

Barry Dennis is the guru of the Chotchky-those things that take away our power even though we didn't realize they were enslaving us ... stuff, trinkets, odds and ends, collectibles with no real value, technology, people, or feel-good promises of the next best thing. He talks about how we can take The Chotchky Challenge and get our lives back. If you've been drowning in thing, mind, and people clutter, perhaps it's time to find out how less is more. barryadennis.com/
