THE POWER OF THE NOW ALWAYS
I THOUGHT I KNEW ABOUT LIVING IN THE POWER OF THE NOW ... IN THE MOMENT WITH INTUITION, INSIGHTS, AND INSPIRATION. THEN ON DECEMBER 4, 2012 I HAD A STROKE WHICH LEFT ME PARALYZED ON THE RIGHT SIDE.
I HAVE PROCESSED A LOT SINCE THEN, TO HELL AND BACK, ASKING WHY ME - WHY NOW. I CAME UP WITH LOTS OF ANSWERS. BUT IN THE END IT IS BACK TO STAYING IN THE MOMENT WHERE I AM MOST INTUITIVE AND I WILL SEE WHERE THIS JOURNEY WILL TAKE ME AND WHAT I AM LEARNING.
I AM GLAD TO BE BACK, TO BE ALIVE, TO BE SHARRING.
LOVE AND LIGHT,
AMBER SILVERSTAR

NO ONE IS EVERYONE: BOOK REVIEW
Ethereal Mantras, Affirmations and Notions for Placid and Peaceful Earth Plane Traversal by No One also known as ANTHONY ROGERS
A few weeks ago at a writer's conference I met a young man wearing this fantastic T-shirt with wonderful, fantasy art featuring dolphins, the I-ching, a mountain lion, a light house and much more ... all superimposed over each other in a swirling color graphic of the Universe. When I asked about the T-shirt logo, I learned it was also the cover of a book and the T-shirt wearer; the author.The book is called Ethereal Mantras, Affirmations and Notions for Placid and Peaceful Earth Plane Traversal. The author for the book has chosen NO ONE as the writer's name but he is in his professional life called Anthony Rogers. He explained to me that "he is no one but also everyone." In a way I understood his efforts to change our consciousness in the how a person sees their own self through super egos defined by labels instead of the real "I AM" defined by the true self.
Since our meeting, I have ordered the book, read it through several times, and spent meditative moments trying to absorb the book's message.
Mr. Rogers web site for the book is http:///www.NoOneakaAnthonyRogersHolisticLifeCoach.com. The site says the following:
"Attaining and maintaining balance is the biggest challenge facing many people today. Everyday worries and concerns can tempt us to get out of balance. Balance is maintaining a consistent, healthy lifestyle on a daily basis in mind, body and spirit, regardless of your circumstances and situations.
This intelligently written book provides writing that comes from the brilliant mind of author Anthony Rogers. It seeks to help individuals examine their self-esteem and sense of acceptance within the scheme of things and for them to attain physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual balance in life."
I would like to encourage you to buy, read and digest the book.

STOCK MARKET PROTEST
Dear Friends,
According to Doctor David Viscott the primary reason for all suicide is "I am not perfect, therefore I do not have a right to exist." I think this message is rampant in the world today. I do believe everyone has a right to choose their own destiny. But also must be responsible for what the choices may require ... read SIDDHARTHA BY HERMAN HESSE...the search for meaning and purpose.
So should everyone justify their existence by working a mainstream job, get married, have two or more kids go to Church on Sundays and live in the burbs and only vote for TEA PARTY CANDIDATES. What about the creative, the artistic, the dreamer, the philosopher, the truth seeker, the prayer giver?
There is perfection in all choices of lifestyles and all choices have the right to exist, the right to love and be loved, the right to express, the right to choose their own destiny, and the right to the pleasures and beauty of life. Balance people, balance!
What do you think...write to me amber@ambersilverstar.com

SNOWBIRDS GOING SOUTH FOR THE WINTER
Dear Friends,
For many across the United States, "going south for the winter" are plans creeping each day into and onto calendars and organizers. Or people "Snowbirds" begin their trek to warmer, western states like California, Arizona and New Mexico. But since I am already in Southern California, I will not be a "Snowbird".
However autumn and winter are on their way and I can tell by cooler nights and shorter days it is a wonderful season for adventure. This is a great time for locals like myself to go to amusement parks, places like Lego Land, Sea World, Disneyland, Universal Studios. September and October offer perfect opportunities to enjoy the Southern California "fun in the sun but not necessarily on the beach" lifestyles.
So I am packing up our backpacks for day trips a.s.a.p and choosing one of the many "cool" places to go to each weekend for the next two months. Taking the camera too. Great time for some photo shoots. I LOVE MY LIFE!
Let me know what you think. To share write amber@ambersilverstar.com

What changes have happened within you since 9/11? How are you still connected to this event? Do you plan to go to the sight either now or in the near future? How would you change any of the choices being made by governments as a response to terrorism? Is there anyone whom you think is doing something wonderful and positive to help spread love and peace as a response to the hostility and fear? Do you feel a sadness for the people directly impacted by this historic event. If you would like to share please write amber@ambersilverstar.com.
