5.0 out of 5 stars create the life YOU want!, February 6, 2005

By 

Joellen Corrocher (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: I Can Do It (Hardcover)

This is a book with the book-on-tape, read by the author, enclosed. I CAN DO IT is all about affirmations and changing your life with affirmations. The spoken word on this CD is incredibly powerful. Louise supportivly walks the reader (and listener) through a discussion on the usefulness of affirmations for several areas including health, wealth/prosperity, job happiness, relationships, self-esteem and stress. She then gives sample affirmations for each catagory. I listen to the CD when I drive, as suggested on the CD cover, and I feel empowered to create the life I want! I drive around saying affirations out loud, including "I am totally adequate for all situations", so empowering!

5.0 out of 5 stars Spiritually Uplifting Messages, January 8, 2004

This review is from: I Can Do It Cards (Beautiful Card Deck) (Cards)

"I've written these cards as a way to help you create joy in every area of your life. You can experience wealth, health, romance, self-esteem, job success, creativity, and a life released from resentment and pain." ~Louise L. Hay, author of You Can Heal Your Life

If you are looking for a way to create more happiness in your life, these cards can inspire you on a daily basis. The beautiful tiny box holds 60 affirmation cards a variety of subjects. You can read about romance, wealth, health, forgiveness, creativity, overcoming stress, job success and self-esteem.

Lately I've started to believe that you truly do hold the keys to your future. You can literally dream your future into life. Although, I am also convinced that you need a lot of encouraging books and encouraging people in your life to overcome life's immense and at times overwhelming hurdles. If you can find just one person who believes in you and a few books that bring an encouraging message into your life, you really can heal your world.

Louise Hay shows this positive philosophy in her "I Can Do It Cards." There are immediate and essential things you must do to heal your life. One of them is to encourage yourself daily. You can't give up and let yourself fall back into negative patterns that are defeating and harmful to your life. These cards encourage you to look at your life in a more positive way.

The first card says: "Love is all there is!"
Then, on the back: "Love is powerful - your love and my love. Love brings us peace on Earth."

I adore this card:

"I love myself exactly as I am. I no longer wait to be perfect in order to love myself."
Back of Card: "The greatest gift I can give myself is unconditional love."

While we often hear that we should love others "unconditionally," but how many times do we hear that we should love "ourselves unconditionally?" These cards are a wonderful reminder. The colors (lavender, blue, pink, yellow, green and orange) on these cards are beautiful and there are pictures on both sides. There are pictures of steaming cups of tea, sandy beaches, butterflies, angels, lots of hearts, treasure chests, flowers, birds, stars and I even found a picture of Louise's book: "You Can Heal Your Life."

The "I now do work I love, and I am well paid for it" card sounds just wonderful and I hope that reading this card will make some of my dreams come true in 2004.

Louise L. Hay is a metaphysical lecturer and the best-selling author of 27 books. Her works have been translated into 25 languages.

The "I Can Do It Cards" may just be what you need to move to a higher level in your awareness of life. There are so many beautiful places we can go. Sometimes we just need a little motivation. You can put these cards on your refrigerator, in your pocket, on a bulletin board, leave one on a co-workers desk or even slip them into a card for a friend. In that case, you might need two boxes. :)

4.0 out of 5 stars Book about positive affirmations, July 13, 2005

By 

Reader "cvrcak1" (Boca Raton, FL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: I Can Do It (Hardcover)

We have all heard about positive affirmations. This book is the only one - I was able to find - that will teach you how to do affirmations properly. Illustrations on the book are beautiful. And the book itself is so small one can carry it in the purse, or a pocket. I was pleasantly suprised to find out that book had a CD in it. So, if you just feel like listening to Ms. Hay's pleasant voice you can just do that and still find it calming and fulfilling. You will look at your life differently. Once I finished the book, I went ahead and bought Louise Hay's "Wisdom Cards". I just like the way she explains things and the way she teaches we should live our life.
