Howdy Folks and Good Day!
I am just thrilled to announce Lisa Vaden’s return to SFPNN today! Many of our long-time readers will remember
Lisa from her columns “Life’s Little Lessons” and her “Thought for the Day.” After taking some time to explore other areas
of life, Lisa returns to SFPNN with her current column, “My Song.” Welcome back, Lisa!

I promised to share more of SFPNN’s helpful features with you. Today’s feature is found only on the SFPNN website. There are no links to it in our daily issues but you will find a button for it when you go to www.sfpnn.com .
It’s listed as: SFPNN Workshop 101.
That’s because it’s our very first on-line workshop. And it’s all about taking care of yourself in ways which will create a happier, healthier, more positive life.
Over the years I have literally spent thousands of dollars researching good health and well-being. And I’ve spend just as many hours reading, journaling, attending workshops and lectures, listening to CDs and watching videos on how to live a positive life. With all that knowledge, a little divine guidance and lots of inspiration, I put together a basic workshop to help you figure out which areas of your life are working and where some improvement would be beneficial. And lucky for you, it’s available as a complimentary gift to our website’s visitors!
The workshop is divided into the following categories:
Getting enough
sleep
Eating a
healthy diet that works with the body
instead of against it
Drinking enough
water
Taking downtime
to clear our mind, heart, and energy
Taking time to
play and enjoy life
Engaging in
healthy relationships
Distancing
ourselves from toxic people, places, things and circumstances
Thinking
healthy positive thoughts
Exercising the
body in a way that’s nurturing for it
Connecting with
God or a Higher Power
Loving our Self
Providing a
positive and nurturing home space
Providing a
positive and nurturing work place
Following the
promptings of the soul and our dreams
Each category will ask you specific questions to help you examine your life
with the focus on creating positive, healthy energy. The workshop won’t tell you what you MUST do
because every body is different. Rather,
it will ask you to tune into your body, mind, emotions and life to determine what’s
helping or hindering you. It will also
give basic suggestions on optimizing your well-being and positive life style.
Again, this is a complimentary workshop. The only cost is your time and willingness to invest in your Self to figure out what works for you!
If you’re determined to make 2008 a year of better health,
happiness, and blessings, I highly recommend doing the SFPNN Workshop: Taking
Care of Myself 101.
You may wish to add the following link to your “Favorites” for easy access:

Here’s to a wonderful year ahead, and all the blessings of a positive life!
With Peace, Love, Happiness, Health, and Prosperity…

My Song — by Lisa Vaden
PLEASURE
Some days have just got to be
about pleasure.
Ok I’ll admit it, I have got
this princess personality that just isn’t satisfied unless there is some kind
of indulgence going on when I need to recharge my battery. I am all about the pampering. I swear if there is such a thing as past
lives, last go around I was a real life princess and it is still deeply
embedded in my soul!
But here is the thing; I treat myself like a princess so I am not waiting around for someone else to give me something that I am not already providing for myself.
That is really important: take
care of yourself by heeding and fulfilling your physical, mental, and spiritual
needs. You will have more of yourself to
share with others. Plus if they do treat
you like royalty too, well hip, hip, hooray – it turns
into a grand ball!
Indulgence doesn’t have to cost
a lot of money either. (But sometimes it
can and that is fun too!) I’ve got what I call my “fat and happy days” or my “Buddha
belly days.” These are days that I just
chill out and read or lay around watching movies. On those days I eat things that I really
enjoy eating -- and I really enjoy eating them too. The goal for the day is all about
satisfaction, enjoyment, relaxing and the biggie ~ pleasure.
Soaking in a tub brings me
pleasure. Going for a walk brings me
pleasure. Hanging with a friend brings
me pleasure. Driving my car with the top
down brings me pleasure. I just love
that word…pleasure. Just saying it
brings me pleasure.
Pleasure is just as important
to the quality of your life as is anything else you deem important. We sometimes forget to relax and really enjoy
some of our days just for the sake of enjoying ourselves.
Even if you are going through a
tough time, you can check out for the day and focus on doing things that bring
you pleasure. I’ve done it many a times
myself. Your problems will be there
tomorrow. But interesting enough, many
times they aren’t problems anymore because you are refreshed and you have new
ideas about how to work through them.
My friend, pleasure is
important. The next time your inner
royalty needs a little loving, find your pleasure and indulge yourself.
With love,
Lisa

NRDC WINS
VICTORY FOR WHALES!
Fantastic news!
A federal court in
The new controls are the result of an NRDC lawsuit that
demanded the Navy rein in its deadly sonar before beginning two years of maneuvers
near the
The Navy itself estimates that the booming sonar would
harass or harm marine mammals some 170,000 times -- and cause permanent injury
in more than 400 cases.
U.S. District Judge Florence-Marie Cooper said the Navy's existing
plan for protecting marine mammals was "grossly inadequate." And she
has ordered the Navy to put a series of precautionary measures in place -- many
of them recommended by NRDC -- that will go a long way toward protecting whales
from needless injury and death.
For starters, the Navy will not be permitted to use its dangerous
mid-frequency sonar within 12 miles of the
The Navy will also have to monitor for marine mammals – from
the ship and from the air -- both before and during its sonar exercises. If any
marine mammals are spotted within 2200 yards of the ship, the Navy will have to
shut down its sonar.
These safeguards represent a giant leap forward in NRDC’s decade-long campaign to make sure that whales don't
have to die for the sake of military practice.
Needless to say, this fight is far from over and many more
court battles lay ahead. But case by case, we are accomplishing what many
thought impossible: forcing the Navy to obey our environmental laws and stop
its needless killing of whales -- and all without compromising military readiness.

Folks, when I work with you, I give you my full attention and channel God’s and the angels’ love and energy for your guidance and healing. The results are always positive. Here’s what some of my clients have said:
”I read slowly and carefully of your email. Going over all of the details and it is absolutely amazing the correlations between all of the stuff that has been happening in my life…”
“You are truly exceptional and very special - and I have been to A LOT of psychics. I'd have to say sadly I've left 90% of them feeling that it was a total waste of money. You were definitely someone I would highly recommend and felt it was probably the best money I had spent in a long time! I loved your method, gentleness and message delivery... What an absolute pleasure and just so refreshing in the way it was handled. I then came home to an in depth, typed out word for word rundown of the reading. None would have taken the time to do that - ever! Amazing to have and to read back over when needed.”
“You truly are a Godsend! There are many things that empathically I pick up from you. I truly feel blessed to have learned from you today. My heart, my feelings, (my angels?) tell me to tell you to keep doing what you are doing for it is a mighty, and beautiful call.”
I share the above comments with you because I’m the type of person who needs “proof” to believe in the unseen. There are many more comments like the ones above – all of which were sent WITHOUT solicitation but in gratitude. Good things happen when we allow the divine to move through our lives and that’s what I love helping folks do!

Wednesday WORD — by Diane, The
VISION BOARD
"Life
is short and you don't want to be an old guy counting his last heart beats
thinking about all the things you wanted to do that you didn't do because you
were scared. What's there to be scared of in life? In the end - - it all ends the same." — Francis
Ford Coppola
Happy New Year!!
The above quote from a recent interview
with the Director Francis Ford Coppola really impressed me… So much that I had
to replay it to get it exactly as he said it.
I let it sink into my soul. I
thought what a great theme to have for 2008.
How would I live this next year if I put aside my fears and just jumped feet first into doing all those things that I put off because I was scared?
Those of you who know me personally
may think I am a spontaneous kind of gal and usually do exactly what I want — often
without thinking out the details. You're
thinking, “Scared? What is she talking about? I didn't see a lot of fear when
she packed up the only life she ever knew and moved across the country.”
The truth be known, I usually
try to hide my fear. I show my confident
side to the world when many times I am driving myself crazy inside asking myself, “should I? Or shouldn't I?”
When I allow that fear to get
the best of me and don't take the chance or jump into something I have wanted
to do or experience, the one who suffers is me.
When I follow my heart and soul -- putting aside my fears -- I have the
best time or learn something new to enrich my life.
As I enter into 2008, I have decided to live each day to the fullest. I am going to put fear aside and follow my heart more.
This is going to be a milestone
year for me. This August I turn 50. I have made a vision board with many things I
want to do and accomplish in the next year.
Some things are as simple as having birthday cup cakes with edible
flowers or having a cup of cappuccino so good I don't want it to end or flying
a kite at the beach. There are pictures of a hot air balloon ride and an Amtrak
train cruising along the coast to
There are reminders to take blissful breaks, expand my consciousness, and achieve balance… To let my inspiration become my reality. TREAT myself to good things. Be open to new possibilities and savor the moments.
Some of these things are going
to take work on my part. I am going to
have to let go of old beliefs and behaviors that no longer serve me. I am going to have to do some “emotion work”
to accomplish these things.
I had a blast making up this vision board. I was amazed how when I put forth the intention to make this board, the photos, sayings and ideas came to me almost by magic.
There are things I might have
been scared to try in the past or never would have thought to do. There are even several that I have already
done. I didn't realize I was doing
something on my vision board until a while after I had done it!
What is your heart and soul calling you to do that your head keeps saying you can't or fear has gotten in the way?
You know what I am talking about.
You have dreams and desires tucked inside that you are afraid to act on.
Take some time to make a vision
board. Go through some magazines and cut
out pictures of places and things that call to your heart. Let the kid inside of you come out and paste
them onto some poster board. You'll be
amazed at what is calling to you.
My wish for everyone in 2008 is that we don’t become the person who, when taking
our last breath or counting our final heartbeats, is thinking about all the
things we didn't do because we were scared.
Let's all make 2008 our best
year yet. All it takes is a desire to
put aside our fears and a bit of imagination.
