1. Commentary by Elaine B. Holtz:  I have a special guest this morning. Joining me in the studio is Janice Campbell, , Certified Unity Teachers and author of Receive Your Life program a simple, honest, compassionate transformational system, CPA and Certified Financial Planner. Janet has an inspiring message to help us all center ourselves in these challenging times.
Today is a very special day for Ken and I, its our 24th Anniversary as loving partners. We are going to read a special poem I wrote for Ken and I called, “Friends and Lovers.” We traditionally read this on Valentines Day but since our anniversary is celebrated on the first show of the Month in April we thought it would be fun to read it on todays show. Yes folks, we are two fools in love. The poem addresses the relationship experience, especially its beginnings.

Happy Easter to everyone. I just finished reading a Unity Booklet for Lent. This years theme was Letting Go. Each day for 40 days I read ideas on how to Let Go of negative thinking. It was an amazing experience for me and I feel a lot lighter as a result of doing this exercise.

2. Friends and Lovers - poem of Elaine B. Holtz, who reads it with her partner Ken Norton. We have been reading this poem around Valentine's Day, but this year our anniversary falls on a Monday, so we read it today on our anniversary.

3. Our Guest, Janice Campbell, shares her journey from her childhood raised as a Lutheran Christian to discovering a New Thought religious community. She appreciated the emphasis on God being goodness in everything, with the spiritual principles more important than the teacher of those principles. New Thought, beginning in the 19th century, is not to be confused with New Age that appeared in the 1970s.

The presence of God is in all, never to be separated, says Janice. During struggles in life, we often forget that we are connected to our true being. Most people have been taught their inner goodness but try to find it from others, which can mislead us thinking our inner goodness is out there, separate from us, to somehow be restored to us. This leads to duality thinking. Our being born into this world exposes us to the needs of survival, and the lack of necessary resources is met in various moments. How our parents make their way in life while supporting us as children impresses upon our minds of certain ways to overcome lack. As adults we make our own way but are often trapped in traditional ways. We may conclude at times that we are less than who we truly are, which is never separate from God.

Janice encourages us to find the gift that shame brings. Oftentimes, one does not feel safe to be who we truly are, through conditioning of our parents, teachers, and peers. We then busy ourselves with collecting evidence that proves how lacking we are and then deny loving who we truly are. We are ashamed of ourselves. In our inner journey to move toward expressing our true self of love, we come to understand how past experiences and desires diminished us. With compassion and forgiveness, we give up misunderstandings of our true self.

Janice emphasizes in her “Receive Your Life” manual, that it is not by doing to get better, but by realizing we are each an individualized expression of Spirit. A past personal belief may block this for awhile until the courage is reached to realize the goodness and love we truly are cannot to be measured against others. Our essential wholeness is not broken, despite the culture trying to define you. Self-worth is loving the essence of who we are.

With the spiritual understanding of our true self, we can then discern when our false self rises in protest. Janice includes a push-pull exercise in her manual as a technique to discern our way true to our self, and release our inner goodness and splendor, for which we have been created. We ask for those desires that are fitting to our true self of love and goodness and receive the intuition that guides their manifestation and release them to the world.

About our Guest: Janice Campbell is a licensed Unity teacher and has been a spiritual counselor and teacher for the past 35 years. She began working professionally as a CPA and Certified Financial Planner in 1980. In 1987 she discovered New Thought teachings. They resonated with what she always knew to be true - the importance of our relationship with Source and the goodness of people.

After attending numerous human development courses where she felt she had to turn into someone she wasn’t to be successful and then being involved in spiritual communities where the teachings at times felt vague and general she wanted to create something that was practical and very individualized to each person. That was the beginning of the Receive Your Life program a simple, honest, compassionate transformational system.

Janice collaborates intimately with people to resolve their inner conflicts. These soul conversations can go anywhere a person wants to go whether that is working through a difficult decision, relationship issues, money concerns, career direction, health, or parenting issues.
