About This Candle I have found that using daily affirmations is a powerful and effective way to stay grounded, to pray and to connect with my truth. And although every zena moon candle can be used as an affirmation, I believe in the power of specificity. May our affirmation candles light your path well! —Carla Blazek, creator, zena moon |

From Amazon.com: The second
printing of
Coming
Home to Myself revives a popular
and noteworthy book that does indeed bring women home to a more intimate
connection with their feminine selves. Not quite poetry and not quite prose,
this collection of quotes offers a series of bite-size excerpts from the
writings of Jungian therapist Marion Woodman (Leaving
My Father's House,
Dancing in the Flames). As Woodman calls
it, this is a "surprise child" that was born from the creative mind of artist
and psychotherapist Jill Mellick (The
Natural Artistry of Dreams), who initially imagined excerpting
Woodman's quotes and illustrating them with her watery, Zen-like paintings.
Woodman's kernels of wisdom are organized beneath 34 different headings, such
as "Unmasking Myself," "Rites of Passage," and "Coming to Love." For example,
under the heading of "My Body" a Woodman quote reads as follows: "If the dream
says something is wrong with your body, check. Long before you do, your body
knows when something is wrong." Or, "Give your body an hour a day. If it's not
worth an hour an a day, there's nothing your body can tell you and not much
else anyone else can do." Under "Reclaiming My Own Energies," we find this
nugget: "A mother who is identified with being mother has to have children who
will eat what she gives them and do what she wants them to do. They must
remain children." This is the kind of book you can open to any page and find a
quote worth pondering for a moment or a lifetime.
2. I Can Do It : How to Use Affirmations to Change Your Life
by Louise L. Hay (Hardcover - 2004)

From Amazon.com: In this concise yet information-packed book—which you can listen to on the enclosed CD or read at your leisure—bestselling author Louise L. Hay shows you that you "can do it"—that is, change and improve virtually every aspect of your life—by understanding and using affirmations correctly. Louise explains that every thought you think and every word you speak is an affirmation. Even your self-talk, your internal dialogue, is a stream of affirmations. You’re affirming and creating your life experiences with every word and thought. Your beliefs are merely habitual thinking patterns that you learned as a child, and many of them work very well for you. But other beliefs may be limiting your ability to create the very things you say you want. You need to pay attention to your thoughts so that you can begin to eliminate the ones creating experiences that you don’t want. As Louise discusses topics such as health, forgiveness, prosperity, creativity, relationships, job success, and self-esteem, you’ll see that affirmations are solutions that will replace whatever problem you might have in a particular area. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to say "I can do it" with confidence, knowing that you’re on your way to the wonderful, joy-filled life you deserve.

From Amazon.com: While most neo-soulsters crank out albums like their hip-hop counterparts, Jill Scott takes a more traditional approach to her craft. Four years after the release of her debut, Who Is Jill Scott, Words & Sounds Vol. 1, Scott returns with the masterful Beautifully Human: Words & Sounds Vol. 2. The album features a collection of lush and hypnotic songs that will make you want to fall in love, live life, and be a better person all at the same time. Lead single "Golden" is a prime example of this. Set to a mid-tempo groove made for the dance floor, "Golden" is a shiny, beautifully-written narrative about living life to its fullest. The old-school R&B ballad vibe of "Petition" is reminiscent of Minnie Ripperton or early Chaka Khan. However, "Bedda at Home" is anything but laid back. Combining elements of jazz, soul, and old-school hip-hop breakbeats, Scott extols the greatness of her man with a swagger that can only be described as cool. Other highlights include "Family Reunion" and the socially conscious "Rasool."
The album's only flaw may be that it ends too soon, but then again it's always better to leave a listener wanting more. For Scott, being Beautifully Human means just that--finding the allure in all that life has to offer and that's well worth the wait.

From Amazon.com: Patty Griffin's considerable promise is fully realized on Impossible Dream, her fourth studio album. Dixie Chicks fans who loved the trio's cover of Griffin's "Top of the World" will find the blueprint take here, but it's just one of several standouts. "Useless Desires" and "Don't Come Easy" show Griffin in her prime as a heartfelt folk-rock singer-songwriter, while "Love Throws a Line" and "Standing" offer intriguing bluesy/gospel counterpoints. "Kite" nearly floats away on a subtle piano breeze that personifies its mood of Sunday-afternoon solitude. The zenith is "Mother of God," an emotionally wrenching seven-minute masterpiece that begins as a heavy-hearted rumination before transforming midway into an abstract refraction of pure musical radiance and lyrical reassurance, like the cocoon setting loose its beautiful butterfly.
3. My Life
Original Release Date: 1994

Customer Rating:
From Amazon.com: During one of the "interludes" on My Life, Keith Murray is rapping about "Grab your cranium for my ultimatum," when someone in the studio control booth asks producer Chucky Thompson, "Hey, Chuck, put on some of that smooth [stuff]." Murray disappears; the dreamy synth chords of Blige's title track emerge, and her sultry voice moans with a combination of weary loneliness and unslaked desire. The ballad which follows is "smooth" but never slick, for the singer's sinuous, extended notes confess the blues even as they yearn for something better. It's tempting to see this little scenario--the rapper being turned off in favor of the soul diva--as a repudiation of hip-hop in favor of old-fashioned R&B. An honest listen to this album, however, makes such an interpretation impossible. Blige does no actual rapping herself on her long-awaited second outing, but the sound of My Life would have been impossible without hip-hop. The results confirm the promise of Blige's '92 debut; she is the premier soul diva of the hip-hop generation.

From Amazon.com:
Director Marc Forster's
Finding Neverland
is a truly charming, moving, and powerful biographic film of Peter Pan writer
J.M. Barrie, played impressively by the great Johnny Depp. Though
Finding Neverland
does take some liberties in the life of Barrie, for the most part, the film is
entirely factual, which makes the tragic story even more affecting. Balancing
tear-jerking sentimentality with moments of childlike (and I mean "childlike"
in the best possible way) delight and warm humor, Forster has created a nearly
flawless film that can be enjoyed on many different levels by young and old
alike.

From Amazon.com: It sounds like Love Story, but with an intriguing twist: 23-year-old wife and mom Sarah Polley has spent her entire life sacrificing for others and living on the economic fringe; when she discovers she has only a few months to live, she resolves to keep the news secret. In her remaining time, she plots a course for various unfinished plans and deferred dreams: write a journal, leave future messages for her kids, make a stranger (Mark Ruffalo) fall in love with her. Obviously, the danger of sentimentality lurks in director Isabel Coixet's concept, and the film does have a few soggy moments. Some critics lost patience with the main character's seeming selfishness (a good post-movie conversation starter). Yet there is something powerful in her insistence on claiming a small piece of existence exclusively for herself. Polley (Guinevere) gives a typically honest performance, with fine support by Scott Speedman and Deborah Harry.

From Amazon.com: Though she made her first movie at the age of 13, Diane Lane has only blossomed into a true star in her 30s, and Under the Tuscan Sun marks her full flowering. After a brutal divorce, Frances (Lane, Unfaithful, A Walk on the Moon) is persuaded by her friend Patti (Sandra Oh) to take a tour of Italy--where, on a whim that she hopes will rescue her from her desperate unhappiness, she buys a rundown villa and sets out to renovate it. Along the way, she gets advice from a former Fellini actress, meets a scrumptious Italian lover, and helps support Patti after her own relationship derails. The conclusion of Under the Tuscan Sun holds no surprises, but the deft turns and observations along the way are delightful. Lane carries the film effortlessly but surely, exuding both heartbreak and reawakening passion. | ||||||||
