Hi, all ~

Yesterday I completed staffing another Leap of Faith. Once again, as it always does, the program allowed people to transform loads of fear into power, to demonstrate their natural ability to be heroes, and to connect with other people in ways they may never have connected before.

Amazing things are happening with the Leap. About 25 of the 92 participants in this Leap were airline industry employees, coming in part in response to the fear that 9/11 generated in them. There�s a possibility that we�ll be doing an in-house Leap with employees of one of the airlines.

You may have heard me say that what I learned in the Leap (not only tools, but what I learned about myself) means that, if I were faced with terrorists, I could (and would) take one or 2 of them down by myself. That knowing is echoed by a flight attendant in this Leap who said, �I know now that a terrorist on my flight will never take my airplane down.�

But there�s a lot more to the Leap than being able to take down terrorists. It�s more about having a profound experience of having faith in spirit within to direct our lives in accord with our highest calling, awakening our courage to take whatever action needs to be taken in our lives, and knowing without a doubt how to connect heart to heart with every human being we meet.

For me personally, one of the most significant benefits has been dramatically enhancing my knowing that I will never be stopped by fear from doing anything that�s mine to do and that I will be told which those things are. Doors are flying open in my life. I�m in the process of stepping through into what I�m truly here on earth to do. I give part of the credit for that to what I�ve gained through my involvement with Warrior Spirit and Leap of Faith. I�m following Spirit without hesitation, and Spirit is taking me to my destiny.

I want to invite you again to consider participating in the next Leap of Faith (February 28 � March 3). I�m encouraging you now because that class is already half full and may be closed long before many people begin to think about registering.

This is a gift I�m giving you. I�m encouraging you to set aside all of your considerations and to just go for it. As Keith Halperin, my healer in Bellevue, keeps reminding me, now is the time. Now is the time for us to transform fear. Now is the time for us to step into knowing and acting like who we really are. Now is the time for us to transform our world. Now is the time.

By the way, Leap of Faith only costs $20 to register. You�ll be invited to contribute more at the end of the weekend, but that�s totally a free will offering. And here�s my personal guarantee: if you take the Leap, complete it, and think you haven�t gotten significantly more than your $20 of value from it, I�ll give you your $20 back.

For those of you who would have to come from out of town, we�ll do our best to find you someone to stay with if you don�t want the expense of a hotel or motel.

If you need more information, see http://www.warriorspirit.org and/or call (425) 557-8557.

More about the rest of my life in the next couple of days.

Namaste,
Michael
