Today is a cold, rainy day- a great day for contemplation.  And what better than curling up in front of the fireplace with Michele Wahlder’s “Alphatudes.”  I was hoping for something to take me to a place of serenity, peace, and stillness, and, that’s exactly what I was able to achieve with this book.

Wahlder a professional certified coach and licensed professional counselor, offers the reader 26 meditative resolutions with short narrative, affirmation and prayer for each letter of the alphabet.  For example, for “G” the word is giving.  In her explanation, Wahlder  tells us “Giving is its own reward. When we give to others, we share our divine innerlight with them and help the world become a brighter, more illuminated place in which to live....”  The affirmation is “I am a generous spirit, giving freely from abundance in my heart.  I find big hearted new ways to give to others.  I take action to make a positive difference in the world.”  And the prayer is “Let generosity of heart and hand begin with me.  Help me to create a better world through the giving of my unique gifts, talents and passions. Thank you for all you have given me so I may generously give to others.”

“Alphatudes” by Michele Wahlder is a channel for us to go within, connect with our divine center, and create a place where we can find serenity as well as vision of who we really are.  Bound with spiritual principles, Wahlder’s book is beautiful in itself and would make a great gift to someone likeminded.  I like this book – I’m going to make a point of giving this book to my close
