Quote of season:
A person's life purpose is nothing more than to rediscover, through the detours of art, or love, or passionate work, those one or two images in the presence of which his heart first opened.
~ Albert Camus

A Spring Bounty of Opportunities -- Planting soul in your business and workplace
Spring is a time of quickening – for growing your business and work in line with your Life Purpose – your soul imprint or your highest potential.
People want more out of work
According to Hamilton and Norrie in The A to Z of Soul Inspiring Leadership, 2004 "few can say that our work is a vital means of soul expression…a source of inspiration and joy". To paraphrase Howard and Welbourn in The Spirit of Work Phenomenon, 2005, many of us leave our humanity and core values at the door because work produces little search for meaning and purpose. So why do we stay? Why can’t we change our work to match our values?
Hand Analysis to the rescue
I have spent years working with individuals who want more out of work. They want to embrace right livelihood, but find themselves stuck. How can your hands guide you in growing your business and, if you work for someone else, planting more of YOU in the workplace?
Your fingerprints create an indelible map. Imprinted 5 months before you were born, these beautiful wave patterns absolutely describe your Life Purpose – your highest potential - and your Life Lesson – the core issue you are here to work on. This information can simply affirm that you are on the right path, offer clarity in seeking work that aligns more elegantly with your values and give you permission to turn the light on more brightly.
-- I am stepping into my Bigger Purpose. Hope it is reflected in my next newsletter. You have inspired me to take this new tack with my business. Scary, but feels more like me. A.B. Bay Area
For some, sessions with me have created astonishing revelations with significant life changes as a result.
-- I realize that I was trying to fit my round self into a square hole. I really am an artist and feel that I will do anything now to stay on this path. Thanks, Janet.

So whether you are doing the work you love or in a job for security (because it may be required at this time in your life), you can still grow this Life Purpose consciousness on a daily basis. Become more of who you are supposed to be and the Universe aligns to meet you half way….I promise.
Nature as our Teacher
Have you taken the time to llsten to the birds this Spring or reveled in seeing the first colorful blooms emerge from their winter repose?
Nature’s creatures never waver from their purpose, from their place in the balance of things.
During my hand analysis sessions, as I do Life Purpose coaching, I often use nature as a tool and a guide. I encourage my clients to take time in nature, notice the subtle rhythms and changes, feel part of this grand design….we breathe out, Mother Nature breathes in, Mother Nature breathes out, we breath in.
Your place in the natural balance of things is crystallized when you grow more conscious of the power of your unique Life Purpose found in your fingerprints.
The Business of Metaphysics and the Healing Arts
In 2006, Isabelle Choiniere-Correa, Intuitive Consultant, and I developed a weekend workshop to help you grow your practice into a thriving business. Come away with resources and new colleagues to build your business. Discover the 5 steps to creating a thriving business while staying in balance and on purpose. -- I want to thank you both so much for the great workshop. Besides all the terrific information
and resources you gave us, you gathered a wonderful group. I expect to be reaping the benefits
of it for a long time.
~ L.K. Bay Area
-- We had just the right amount of stuff and a great balance between practical hands-on exercises
and deep personal work. ~ D.A. Bay Area

Client question: I had a short reading from you at a colleague's gathering. It was amazing. Is there more?
Your hands contain a 600-page novel. A short reading is just the jacket cover. Your story has mythological proportions and hands are a powerful tool to explore this story more deeply. Most people would agree that we are all on a journey and that we have unique talents and a purpose to fulfill. We also know that this journey is not mud puddle free – facing your resistance is an essential part of the storyline. A Life Reading or a series of readings can help you crystallize your Life Purpose and learn more about the resistance points you face in getting there. Visit www.handtales.com to explore what is best for you.
