We have a winner in the contest for Karinna Kittles-Karsten’s book Intimate Wisdom The Sacred Art of Love.
Here’s our winner: Steve Shoemaker, who shared: “A great interview and a great newsletter for Valentines day. The importance of love and relationships is commitment and the willingness to forgive. Thank you opening our eyes to another source of knowledge, inspiration and wisdom.”
Other wonderful entries were:
Dan shared: “I haven’t had the opportunity to read Karinna’s books yet, but the idea of Sacred Love and committing to higher levels of love relationships certainly appeals to me.
A wise person told a congregation gathered for a friend’s wedding: “You will do well to discover and remember that love does not sustain a marriage. Rather, it is marriage that can sustain love. For in living out your commitment to one another that you will honor your relationship more than self or things, regardless of circumstance, you are building the home in which love can survive and thrive. In the shelter of commitment, love can combine with all things – joy and pain, peace and strife, laughter and grieving – to grow from ‘in love’ to ‘great love’.”
Book lover shared: “Thanks for the heart warming and inspirational interview. Got my morning off on the right foot. To answer your question: love and relationships are what make us human – they are the best part of being conscious. The ups and downs, that is what makes us human and what allows us to grow.”
Corinne Edwards shared: “Very intense and provocative interview, Phil. Would love to see you do more of these. I liked the comment that if you are not getting what you want, “Aim higher!”
Mother Earth aka Karen Hanrahan shared: “I can see that this book had personal impact for you and I can also see why you’d be so compelled to share your enthusiasm but also Karrina’s. Have a loved filled week, just for the heart of it!
Tom shared: “As I read the interview, the following stood out for me: “relationships inside the home are equally (if not more so) important to the relationships you build outside –in business and in other interpersonal activities. If you are loved and nourished and supported at home by your personal relationships most specifically with a significant other you will feel more confident and prepared to create great relationships in business and make a greater contribution in the outer world.”
As I think about my life and the successes I have had, they are in great part due to the relationships I have at home with my wife and children. They have given me the strength and confidence to carry on when things looked their bleakest. They are the first people I think about when things go well. They are the first people I turn to when things are rotten. It is their “sacred love” that inspires me to make things great. Both for them and those that touch our lives every day.”
Stay tuned for more great contests coming soon!
