   If you're still looking for your 2010 muse, check this out. Lisa Garr, the radio talk show host of The Aware Show, is hosting another FREE teleseminar intensive beginning February 10th and the roster of guests is impressive - Wayne Dyer, Joan Borysenko, Bernie Siegel, Norm Shealy and Marci Shimoff just to name a few. The theme of this series is Reclaiming Your Personal Power. I tuned in to Lisa Garr's teleseminar last fall; I only caught about half of the speakers during those 10 weeks, but I learned tons and my creativity got a much-needed boost. I've already signed up for this new series; it's a sure-fire way to beat winter's chill and get a jump start on spring. Here's the link to The Aware Show Teleseminar Intensive. Let me know if you sign up!

Oh and just in case you're wondering, this is NOT a paid endorsement. I don't do those.
