Changing Focus to Find the “I AM”

By Elisa Novick

I so appreciate that Planet Waves, Eric, my editors, and all who work so hard to make it happen, have provided me with a platform from which I can reach my words and my heart out to many people.

My gratitude goes to all of you from Planet Waves who’ve responded to my articles and interviews with your comments, love, and for some, engaging in sessions and taking courses I offer. I am deeply aware that most of those helping to create the Thriving Planet World Tour came through Planet Waves. Planet Waves is far more than a website; it is a valuable resource and loving community and it is worthy of your support.

If you receive value here, and are not a member, please take advantage of the special membership offer available this week to ensure that Planet Waves continues to thrive. If you’re not entirely sure what a Planet Waves membership entails, please read the new Member Benefits letter here.

Yet, somehow there is something so beautiful and real that can shine through in a moment.
