Book Cover & Preview Text
INTRODUCTION We can choose to set and achieve our important goals! We can choose to be successful, happy and prosperous in all our endeavors! We can choose to pursue our own individual journey in life that we find fulfilling! We can choose to follow through on all personal commitments! We can choose to share our life’s learning and wisdom with the children! We can choose to become all that we are capable of becoming! It’s up to us to esteem our life, reach our goals and achieve success! It will take a belief in our personal value, desire, discipline, and a strategy. Most of all, it will take awareness of what we are doing and where we are going. Somehow awareness, (or consciousness), alone motivates action; however discipline keeps the action going. In every aspect of our life we will need to use discipline which becomes a part of our daily life when we have awareness without judgment of what has gotten in the way of achieving success. Taking right/wrong/good/bad off the table and non-judgmentally considering what is working and what isn’t working leads to positive change. These requirements for change will be the focus of what you are about to read. By creating a strategy, a plan of action, and organizing our lives on a daily basis we will maximize the realization of our dreams. In addition, our attitudes and beliefs about ourselves play a large part in our Self Esteem Level (otherwise called our SEL.) When we see ourselves as unworthy our SEL holds us back from achieving success. Without bringing consciousness to what we think about who we are, our plan of action will lead to frustration and failure as we unconsciously sabotage our best efforts. So as you read this book, keep in mind that being aware of the thoughts we are holding about ourselves as well as the thoughts about the world in general, and the words we are using to describe them will be the basis for our reality. By following a plan and changing our negative attitudes and beliefs we can manifest the successes we wish to create in our life.

About the Author
Marianne Harms, LCSW/CSW is a coach and Pennsylvania licensed psychotherapist. She has been in private practice for over 25 years in New Jersey and Pennsylvania and more recently has relocated to Sonoma to establish a couple’s retreat and coaching practice in this beautiful wine country. She is a Masters in Social Work graduate of Adelphi University, New York, certified in advanced hypnosis, holds advanced certification in Imago Couple therapy and completed training in Spiritual Direction through the Center for Spirituality and Justice in New York.
Marianne has presented workshops dealing with relationship, self-esteem and spiritual awareness extensively throughout the United States. She has lectured to groups and consulted with organizations on the subject of emotional well-being through positive thinking, nutrition and exercise. Her work today is to guide and support clients in creating healthy lifestyles and relationships through understanding the dynamics of their own story, enhancing self-esteem, becoming mindful, setting goals, and working their plan. She also encourages individuals to bring spiritual and non-material awareness into their conscious choices.
Prior to her current profession, Marianne was an aesthetician and make-up artist working primarily with facially traumatized women. She worked with Stanford University Hospital Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and volunteered at the Santa Clara Hospital Burn Unit while maintaining a private studio in the San Francisco Bay area for 17 years. It was through this experience that she began to understand the effects of trauma or abuse or neglect on the psyche of an individual at any age, and how it interferes with one’s ability to achieve success and fulfillment in life. Those physical scars her clients came to her with often went soul-deep and it was through this realization that she felt the impetus to move forward with her education and change gears mid-life. Answering this calling has brought much gratification to her life.
Her greatest education however came in the earlier part of her life as she struggled through her own personal challenges. Through the the guidance of a therapist and caring people, and her own belief in the ability for humans to heal even the deepest wounds, she was able to thrive and become the person she is today... positive, joyful and grateful.
More importantly, Marianne says, “Raising my sons to be happy, healthy and productive husbands and fathers is my greatest accomplishment and watching them raise their families is my most satisfying reward. I am blessed.”
