"Your course has absolutely changed my life. I'm
not the woman I was yesterday, and I know the woman I will be tomorrow
will be different too! Thank you, Fiona!"
Susan A, Sacramento
"I can't believe what a difference you've made in
my outlook. I was able to wean myself completely off my antidepressants
after six weeks of journaling with you."
Doris J, New York
"Fiona, you were right. I wasn't living up to my
potential. Now instead of CLEANING the office, I RUN it."
Lee R, Terre Haute
Here at Leiphenet the beginning of your journey is marked with words. Perhaps it is the crispness of fall here in this part of the world, but for many, this time of year seems to lend itself to introspection, and a mental and emotional nesting time. There are some truly remarkable souls out in this great world, and we are so proud here to share with you a few words from some of the spiritual adventurers we have under our banner:
Do you believe in astrology?
Oh, yes yes yes! I had my boss work up my star chart, and I am definitely a Leo with Aries rising. I can feel the pull of the tides and when certain planets align, you'd best watch out! I'm a firecracker, emotional, with a fierceness that belies the ages, by the gods! My compatibilities with co-workers, friends, and lovers have all been accurately pinpointed by my relation to the grand schema of horoscopes. My lucky number is usually 9, and every year of my life where my age was divisible by 9 has been a super-awesome year!
Tell us a bit about your day - what shapes your timetable at the moment?
I sleep in every day, for my body seems to follow the moon's in terms of waxing and waning. My biorhythms chart tells me what sort of breakfast I might like to have that morning - carbohydrates galore, or something a little more spare and protein-rich? With brekky out of the way, the rest of the day goes by in a blur. Today I have to make sure I keep contact with Cancers to a minimum. Good luck to me, because my dear hubby is one himself!
Melanie G., Los Angeles
Why do you think these styles and artists appeal to you?
In all music, there is this sense of communicating. Getting a message out to someone, whether they really hear it or not. Most of the music I like is emotive and lyrical, but I also jones for new music that is lyrically rich and and complicated. I feel like I am getting in touch with another side of myself when I immerse myself in music. The critic goes away, and I am left with just me and the reason music exists.
If you were dropped into the middle of a shopping center, where would it be? Is it crowded or empty? What color is it painted? What types of stores do you see?
I think there would be just enough people that I could walk through unhindered, but still have the feeling of humanity surrounding me. Soothing colors like mauve and dusty green and pale yellow, deep reds ... I don't know. It's hard to say - so much of the presentation of so many stores is about thwacking you soundly about the eyes with neon signs and loud placards and branding. It's this huge network, you see, all clamoring for attention and time. Very draining! I see stores that are well-established and homey, in my ideal shopping center - less of the plastic and formica, and a bit more of real wooden door frames and etched glass. Walkways wide and lined with live foliage, lighting less of the garish fluourescent kind, more warm. The stores are selling foolscap and luxurious writing pens, sheets of music, blank and printed with favorite songs. Clothes that are real and useful and look even better with a little wear and tear. The air is not clogged with orange julius and rancid hot dog smells, but is fresher, green.
