Joan Sotkin's Final Message: "Prosperity is an inside job."

A worthy share, if ever there was one: 

"Dear Friends,

This is probably the most unusual message I’ve ever written. I’m now in hospice care, and I know that my time here is coming to an end. I don’t know exactly when that will be, but I feel that it’s close.

I’ve had an extraordinary life. Not always an easy one, but one filled with learning, discovery, growth, and wonderful connections.

For more than 50 years, I’ve explored the relationship between our thoughts, beliefs, emotions, and the experiences we create. Along the way, I discovered something that became the foundation of my work: Prosperity is an inside job.

It’s not simply about money. It’s about how we feel about ourselves, how we relate to others, and our willingness to recognize and change the emotional patterns that limit our lives.

I’ve also learned the importance of listening to our inner wisdom, what I call our Inner Guru. That wisdom is always there when we’re willing to become quiet enough to hear it.

If there’s one thing I’d like to leave you with, it’s this: Stay curious about yourself.

Pay attention to your emotions. Question beliefs you’ve carried since childhood. Be willing to change, no matter how old you are. And above all, be kind to yourself.

Sharing my discoveries through books, articles, podcasts, courses, and personal conversations has been one of the greatest joys of my life. Knowing that something I’ve shared has helped another person has given my work meaning.

To everyone who has been part of this journey, thank you. You’ve enriched my life more than you may realize.

As I approach the end of this adventure, I’m reminded that what matters most isn’t what we’ve accomplished or accumulated. It’s the love we’ve experienced, the connections we’ve made, and what we’ve contributed to the lives of others.

After a lifetime of exploring the mysteries of consciousness and existence, I remain curious about what comes next. And that feels like a fitting way to say goodbye.

With love and gratitude, Joan Sotkin 

Prosperity is an inside job."

Call to Action: Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act (S. 5653)

Apologies to burst the big blue wave celebration bubble, but we need to call our Senators right away - today and Monday and tell them to vote NO on the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act (S. 5653) - it is a horrible bill. 

Why so bad? 

It streamlines data center approval, reducing the opportunity for communities to have their say. It lengthens the permits. It also changes and weakens NEPA, Clean Air and Water Act. and the Endangered Species Act. 

If you want to know more, please look up the bill.

If you read only the title, Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act (S. 5653) it sounds good, because people want affordability and we need jobs, but when you actually read the bill, there are many causes for concern. 

Please look it up, if you can, read the bill, and if you understand why I am drawing attention to it, please make the calls to your Senator, your family and friends who care about clean water and air, and our rights to have a say as to what gets built in our own neighborhoods. 

We the People, Reclaim Our Power!

Thank you to everyone who voted to reclaim the power of the people! Action speaks louder and clearer than money. 

Please always remember that our voices matter. We the people, elect our representatives. 

They are not our "leaders, they are our representatives, and in order for them to truly serve the people, they need to hear from US, the people, because the lobbyists are certainly not being quiet! 

May hope, love and truth prevail. 

Ox,
