Regina,
I think of you often and hope you are well. I believe that your Walks will be a valued service for people in need of closure, or just in need. Here’s to your success! RN
I read this email while making it up that I can’t make a difference for people. You see, I get scared to put my work out in the world, thinking that it’s not big enough, that I don’t have a huge “tribe”, that my message isn’t clear.
I noticed the time that this email had been written. It was at the exact time that I was in the Landmark Education Self Expression and Leadership Program when I was doing what’s called “running my Act.” That’s when I’m putting up a front, resisting showing up as my powerful self. For me, that’s saying, “This is too hard for me, I don’t want to play this game.” I was resisting creating a community project as a vehicle for this training, claiming that the criteria are too limiting, too restrictive, not supportive of my life right now. Blah. Blah. Blah. All a cover for “I’m afraid to get out there and make a difference because I don’t believe I can!”
Well, guess what? I already have! Time to believe it – and get out and play!
Where are you not playing? Not contributing? Holding back? Being afraid?
Today, I had a coaching session with Thea Sheldon of http://www.theasheldon.com Our session of one hour and twenty minutes today was instantly transformational for me! Her coaching towards a New Money Story for me had immediate results. After our session, I went back to work checking emails, etc. I had received one from a Health Fair Coordinator inviting me to participate in two fairs in May. The email had been sent one minute after our call ended!
In my Old Story, I had claimed that I’m in the wrong place at the wrong time and that my idea is too weird to be accepted in the marketplace and that no one will pay for my service.
Here’s what the invitation read:
“I especially like your thoughts about offerings for folks in office situations, and think the settings below might be great for you.
We promise you an exclusive in your category:-)”
That’s my New Story, and I’m grateful for Thea’s expertise in helping me discover it!
It’s a rainy, work inside day today! Sometimes, even a thru-hiker like me is grateful to have the choice of sitting dry at my computer, remembering, dreaming, and planning hikes.
Today, I’m remembering my summer walk on the Benton MacKaye Trail, a 300-mile journey through the forests of the southern Appalchian Mountains.
Enjoy this short video, put to the music of Here II Here’s Walk With Me.
On this trip, I experienced a true solo hike – I walked alone most of the trip. In fact, south of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, I only saw three other hikers – going the opposite direction! Nonetheless, I learned that hiking solo gives me plenty of time to go within, a journey that’s worth taking.
My hike of the entire length of the Appalachian Trail in one trip started well before I set foot on the Trail in Maine. It started as a glimmer sparked by my dad’s unrealized dream when I was a child. I only remember him mentioning the Appalachian Trail a few times and I didn’t even try backpacking until I borrowed his canvas rucksack for a weekend trip with my college friends.
My AT journey started with the statement, “Now that we live in Georgia, maybe we could go see the Appalachian Trail.” My husband and I had lived in Georgia with our three sons for two years, and that casual suggestion inspired a Sunday drive to the nearest AT trailhead to our Atlanta home. That was Woody Gap, about 15 miles north of Dahlonega, GA. A couple of hours after leaving home, we arrived at Woody Gap where a gravel parking lot, a wooden kiosk, and a concrete block privy greeted us.
Nearby, a narrow trail beckoned us up a mountain, rather unceremoniously I recall. “This is the fabled Appalachian Trail?”, I remarked. As we entered the woods and passed a worn wooden sign that read Blood Mountain Wilderness, I noticed that the trail was just wide enough for one person. It wound up the mountain, rather steeply, too. Still, this footpath called me somehow. Within minutes, still climbing the narrow, rocky path, I started feeling a thrill of excitement.
Voices, and visions of hikers, began drifting into my mind. I tingled with the realization that hundreds, if not thousands, of others had gone before me, walking this same path! Legends like Grandma Gatewood, a woman who had walked the trail alone in her sixties, had stood right here! Now, here I was, on the Appalachian Trail myself! “If I just keep walking”, I thought, “I could go all the way to Maine!” I was hooked!
This book gave me a new view of life and the tools to make that new view a reality! It’s not just theory, it’s the Law of Attraction in Action. Just 5 practical steps turn your troubles into blessings. It’s an easy read! Start today!

Satori means “awakening”. It’s the Radical Forgiveness board game, played over the course of two to three hours. It reveals unconscious beliefs and patterns that drive your life’s drama.
Move your token by turns from Victimland through the awakening process to reach Satori. It’s like a transformational Candyland! You move through the game, shifting how you see an “event” in your life, drawn randomly from the Event and Context decks.
You’ll be surprised how the cards you draw mirror your life’s experiences and feelings. You’ll get the same shift in energy that all of the Radical Forgiveness tools generate. Each board sits up to five players. Multiple groups can play at the same time.
Regina Reiter will facilitate as Game Master, bringing her Radical Forgiveness experience and her love of this game to the table! You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You’ll gain new insights and leave the table with more energy. Don’t miss it!
“I didn’t expect the evening to be what it turned out to be. What happened in the game was a wonderful surprise. I almost don’t have the words to tell you how great it was. Here’s what comes to mind: Cleansing. Communion. Completion. Thank you.” -LD
Yesterday, I joined Adela Rubio’s Conscious Energy Shift Inner Circle call – our first in this year-long program. Adela reminded us that these calls are focused on empowering us in using our Co-Creative Energy. “It’s not about healing energy”, she said.
I hadn’t thought clearly about distinctive forms of energy! I realized, though, that all the courses and programs I’ve been in this year have supported me in distinguishing between them.
Healing energy is that which dissolves stuck energy blocks, bringing my energy into the present moment. This energy is the experience of Radical Forgiveness, of Landmark Education’s Completing the Past, in Brenda Cobb’s colonics and detox at Living Foods Institute. This is wonderful, powerful, necessary energy to dissolve and shift blocks keeping me from recognizing my value, my health, and that of others around me!
Co-Creative Energy, however, is that which focuses this clear, high vibrational energy toward manifesting what’s in my imagination! It’s what inspires my pen to describe my Hiking Goddess Walks. Its the energy that inspires my actions for attracting clients to my programs. Its the energy that courses through me when I connect to others on Adela’s calls.
I am always touched by the courage and openness shown by the people who share the Satori Game with me. Sunday’s game was no exception. Old Stories of abandonment, self-doubt, and feeling-stifling shifted to New Stories of Abundance, Self-love, and Self-acceptance.
What is apparent during the game is how empowering, soothing, and awakening it is for us to express and to hear the words of the game: “We love you just the way you are.” OR “I love myself being in my feelings about this” OR, my favorite “And what a healing angel you are for them too.”
I LOVE THIS GAME! I WANT TO SHARE IT FAR AND WIDE!
Thanks to Deb Unterman for creating and sharing it.
