Sylvia

I would like to through my hat in for John Haines’ In Search of Simplicity.

Hi Siona,

I think it is great to see my book being passed on here. I’m just off the phone with Mike Leier of the Morning X show. We spoke for over half an hour on the powerful impact of leading a simple life. What a lot of fun that was - even if I had to get up at 3.30 to do it!

And I would love to be in the draw for Less: Accomplishing More by Doing Less. The author’s name is truly perfect!

John

Put me in for simplicity…

Sylvia, Yancey, John, KES, and jaBuddha… you’re all on the (respective) lists. :)

Wow! What a great offering! I must say that I would be grateful to receive any of these books.  Each description peaked my interest.  If I had to choose though, In Search For Simplicity sounds like a grand adventure that I couldn’t put down. 

Blessings to All!

Less is more! I love it. Please put me in for that one. Thanks!

I’d love to go into the draw for ‘Less’, as a Team Leader in a busy corporate environment I’m sure there’s some great things to learn and share with others from this book.
How do I donate a copy my own spiritual graphic novel and music cd (more details on my blog) to be offered as a give away?

Namaste

BJ

I also want to be included for “Less” though the other two sound fascinating too.

Grateful to be part of this amazing journey,

May all your dreams come true,
James

My heart leaped when I read about ‘In Search of Simplicity’ by the insightful John Hain. My life really needs some simplicity! I’m going through some challenging situations and reading about this wonderful book, I feel that it may give me hope and inspiration! So, please put me in the hat for ‘In Search of Simplicity’! Thank you!

I am a new member and am just checking all of this out.  What a great site!  I’d like to be considered for the book “Less: Accomplishing More By Doing Less” I listened to a lecture by the author on his website and it was amazing!

Hello wise ones, I would like to place my name for Celebrating Divine Presence, and thank you for this!  All of these books sound wonderful

I would love a copy of the Accomplishing More by Doing Less.  This is definitely a more spiritually fulfilling way of saying “Work smart, not hard.”

Marc Lesser’s Less: Accomplishing More by Doing Less sounds like a book to help me get through the everyday trials and tribulations in the business world. Sometimes, it feels like you are grinding to the point of sparks, yet you cannot make a fire.

Thank you, all! I’ve got each of your names for the drawing on Friday. And all these names! I’m going to look around for some extra treat for everyone who entered… I’m sure we can find something. :)

(Although William and Mario? You’ll need to pick again, as Emotional Freedom isn’t on the giveaway list. Judth’s book was part two of the announcement. :)

Hello all Gaia members! Nice to meet you all.

I would hope to receive Celebrating Divine Presence, the book seems interesting and my teacher said it is fantastic to read. Thank you Siona for your hard work.

I have a hard time deciding which one.  I think thought, In search of simplicity.  Sometimes I think all I have to do it let go, and know that life is simplicity, it is the human condition that makes it complicated.  Thank you for this gift.

My wish is for each of you have posted in the thread a pleasant and peaceful and filled day. 

It’s hard to decide, but I’d love to receive Celebrating Divine Presence.  Thank you for the posting!

Hi Siona,
Marc Lesser’s book “Less…” sounds intriguing! Throwing my hat in for a chance for some enlightenment.
Thanks!

Beloved Siona:

I would love to receive  Less: Accomplishing More by Doing Less, since I am interested in Zen (I read the Osho Zen Tarot for myself), and I would like to include this practices in my work.

Much Love and Light,
Pere

I would love to be put in for Celebrating Divine Presence: Journeys into God - that sounds fascinating.  Thank you!

I am always looking for a new insightful book. I am a Yoga Instructor and sometimes read passages to my students during the final resting posture. I am also studying for my masters and have to write an essay on my goals and aspirations. I think a book like this might help.

Namaste,
Britt

Hello Siona,

All of the books sound great, but I think most of all I would be interested in the “Accomplishing More by Doing Less”. Why? Because I am a mother of two little children, I am working full time at Uni, trying to accomplish all of the duties as quickly as it is possible, and I almost never relax.. and even if I find time to have coffee I am not really enjoying it, because even then, I am planing in my head what I should do next.  So this is the reason I would love to read the book to find the secret of accomplishing more by doing less, which, in fact, sounds unbelievable for me (:

Blessings,
Anna

Hi-
I would love to be entered in for Less: Accomplishing More by Doing Less.  In the past few years I have really been working on and struggling with this concept. My whole life, I have been surrounded by wonderful people who I genuinely care for, but whose perspective of time is different from my own.  Through high school, college and my professional career, most of the people around me are driven by job titles and raises.  Though I have achieved some success in those areas, I often find myself at the end of the day finding happiness only in my family, friends and spiritual journey.  The higher my job description and the more money that comes with it only seems to add to pressure, not happiness.  That being said, I have dreams that require capital to get going.  Anyway, my ideal is becoming content with less and I this book seems to give my thoughts some structure.
Thanks!
daniel

Less is more…  Less definitely means more freedom.  Since we are only here temporarily, everything we own is just on a loan basis because we will leave everything behind when we depart.  I would love to have a shot at John’s book - In Search of Simplicity.  Count me in.  Jaya!

I would love to have my name put in for In Search of Simplicity. It sounds like an incredible story.

I’d like to be included in the raffle.  Thank you.

I would like to have a chance to read Less: Accomplishing More by Doing Less because I usually get so flustered that I try to do everything and end up getting nothing accomplished.

Please put my name in the hat for “In Search Of Simplicity”. Thanks so much for the chance!

I will love to have “celebrating his divine presence”

I am striving to get  closer to God. hope this will help.

Thanks very much for this opportunity.

hello! I would like to be in for the drawing of “ Celebrating Divine Presence: Journeys into God” I grew up in the East and have been exposed to different religions. I would really love this. Thank you very much!

I think this passing books on is just great… ever expanding, ever evolving, how wonderful.  Please put my name in for  “ Celebrating Divine Presence: Journeys into God”

I think Divine Presence would be really helpful for me right now in my Spiritual Path, I like that it looks at each religion with respect.  Though, entering me for all three and letting the Universe decide if I win is fun too.  Thanks!

I’d like to be in the raffle for Celebrating Divine Presence: Journeys into God please. I’ve always been fascinated in the idea that most all religions are the same at the core and believe I would enjoy and benefit by read this book very much. (Also, I’m a Hinduphile-I absolutley love Hindi culture and philosophy.)

Thank you Siona!
~Alex~

Hello! I’d like to enter for Marc Lesser’s book. Thanks a lot :)

Hi!  Haines’ book seems pretty interesting, but I’m really liking Marc Lesser’s Less: Accomplishing More by Doing Less the most.  I’d appreciate it if you would enter me in the drawing for Lesser’s book.  Thanks =]

Hello,

I would very much love to have “Emotional Freedom”.  I/we (my husband, myself and two daughters) are in the midst of creating a more loving and caring home.  I love to read and books that are inspiring and or self help, are on the top of my “to read list”.

Thank you so much, and God Bless

K Felker

Given that I am at a crossroads of faith and am searching for answers, I would very much like my name to be entered in the raffle for “Celebrating Divine Presence.”

Thank you very much.

I am also a desirer for the Search for Simplicity. Nothing like simplicity to clear one’s mind. I need that.

Hi Siona!

Less: Accomplishing More by Doing Less  sounds good to me!

Sylvia,

I could use some more Simplicity in my life! Please count me in for John Haines book. I love books too and actually just gave some away so this will be a wonderful addition to my “new” collection!

All of those sound interesting, but I suppose since I have to choose I’ll ask to be in the running for the copy of Less: Accomplishing More by Doing Less.  Thanks!

Hi

Put me down for the In Search of simplicity.

sounds like the kind of life I want to have

Hi Sonia:
Marc Lesser’s Less: Accomplishing More by Doing Less is perfect for me!
XOX

Hello, Siona!

I would love to read Celebrating Divine Presence: Journeys into God.   We are all connected and we all worship the same Spirit regardless of the name we use.  I would love to read about others’ experiences.

Namaste,

Cathy

Marc Lesser’s Less: Accomplishing More by Doing Less,
seems like going with “new” business fair business ideas. I would very much like to read it. Thanks, Siona!!

I’d like to put my name in for emotional freedom. Thank you!!

I am stuck between 2 (Marc Lesser vs. John Haines)  but I will go with Less: Accomplishing More by Doing Less

Thank you and Namaste

Less is More, please.

I would like to have achance at Celebrating Divine Presence: Journeys into God. It sounds very interesting.

Thank you for the opportunity,

It is a little unclear to me if Emotional Freedom is in the raffle too….so if it is:
      -I would like to enter the Emothional Freedom raffle
      -If it is not or if there are two raffles, I would like to enter my name for Celebrating Divine Presence: Journeys into God .

Why?  In dealing with the emotional vampires of Los Angeles, one needs all the help available.  And I am always fascinated by the many ways we can respect and honor all spiritual pathways.

Hi Siona,

I would love a copy of Celebrating Divine Presence!

I am recovering from an addiction and in the 12-step program that I am in they ask to us to trust a higher power for help. It has been very hard to hit the first three steps because in the last 3 years I lost my sense of god/higher power. And it has all been downhill from there. I have been searching for a way to re-ignite my faith in a universal loving presence but I am not where I used to be. From the description in this book, I feel that it’ll lead me closer to the answers I am seeking.

Thanks, =)
Sandy

Ooooh - what a great offer! I’d like to be in the running for “In Search of Simplicity: A True Story that Changes Lives.”

From what I’ve read about this book, it’s everything I’m looking for in a book right now. I spend all day working on my Master’s thesis and at night I like to read something fun and inspiring to help me drift into sleep and prepare for another day of work. Several years ago I participated in a ‘poverty exposure program’ in Mexico where the motto we came away with was to ‘Live simply so that others can simply live.’ I’d love to hear about John’s journey to simplicity.

Siona! I would like to be thrown in the drawing for Less: Accomplishing More by Doing Less  but any of the three books would be awesome!!

Thanks,

Olivia :)

If it is meant to be I’d like a copy of Celebrating Divine Presence: Journeys into God.  It is always wonderful to have things around us that remind us to return to God when we stray, which for me is often. 

I have found many wonderful books that remind me that my life is but a spiritual one, not a primarily physical one.  In these troubled physical times of our nation, I would hope that this book would be another tool to support my spiritual life and remind me that once again “This, too, shall pass.”

Peace to all and remember to find at least one thing today that is a blessing.

I would like to be included for the Less: Accomplishing More by Doing Less.

I am focusing right now on finding a balance of doing and non-doing throughout my life and it is very difficult for me. I would really appreciate the helpful guidance and comforting words!

Thank you :-)

I’ll take “In Search for Simplicity” for 1000….Siona!
What a wonderful and exciting journey… I love armchair adventures…
Especially those with ability to inspire.

Thanks for this chance,
Gail the Groovy one

I’d like to throw my hat in the ring for Celebrating Divine Presence: Journeys into God.

Thank you!
Karen

Siona! I would like to be thrown in the drawing for Less: Accomplishing More by Doing Less  but any of the three books would be awesome!!



Thanks,



Olivia :)

I will take In search of simplicity

I’m in desparate need for a little Zen calm, so I’d love to learn how to Accomplish More by Doing Less. 

Thanks!

I truly need to know how to do less. Become a human being -instead of a human doing.

I’d like to enter for: Less: Accomplishing More by Doing Less.

All of them sound good, but I’ll choose Celebrating Divine Presence: Journeys into God.  Thanks!

I feel like there are cycles where i do more but i also feel like i have mastered doing less and simplifying, but i definitely want to accomplish more, its time to integrate the two!!! Therefore i’d love to enter:
Less: Accomplishing More by Doing Less.

Please put me in for  Celebrating Divine Presence: Journeys into God.  Thanks!

Hi Siona,

I wish to place my name in the drawing for the book - Celebrating Divine Presence: Journeys into God. Thank you very much for offering this oppurtunity.

With much love,

Sruthi B

Count me in for “In Search of Simplicity”. Thank you!

Hi Siona!

Thanks for this wonderful offer! I’m smack dab in the middle of dealing with the stress of living with someone elses clutter. I’m talking about making-me-sick stress. It’s reminded me of how I can simplify my ‘stuff’  but I need more help in sloughing off what I don’t need in my world so I can really focus on my spiritual path as well as helping my child to find his. I would love to be in the running for In Search of Simplicity in hopes that it can help us. Thanks so much! Namaste

Julie

I’d really like In Search of Simplicity. sounds like such an amazing book. And you just gotta love the title. Let me in for the search! :)

I’d like to put my name in the raffle for the Accomplishing More By Doing Less.  It sounds perfect for my life right now.  Thanks for the offer…..

Hello Siona,

I would love to put my ticket in the drawing for IN SEARCH OF SIMPLICITY.

It sounds like wisdom birthed through life experience on the road, and I have been through that experience deeply the last 3 years coming back from the Sahara and Southern Spain, where I learned to completely trust in the divine realm for my resources since I had little or no money. (I was in places where not many people took interest in what I offer to the world) And I was in these places for deepening my own connection to the divine realm. My book is called “The Journey of the Jewel”. With Love, Annie

In Search of Simplicity has my name written all over it.  After deciding to be the change I wish to see in the world, I’ve made the turn toward living a simple life: giving away my van (for all the right reasons) and riding my bicycle everywhere, instead,  shopping resale, and simply making do with much less.  As a result, I see synchronicities at every turn…I view them as a cosmic pat on the back for making the right choices and living a right life.  Namaste’.

Hi Siona,

How great to have this opportunity - all the books sound interesting and although Mr. Lesser’s advice about slowing down would be embraced, my heart is drawn to “In Search of Simplicity” as I’ve been putting off having adventures similar to Mr. Haines - his book may just be what gets me into gear to finally pursue a long time dream.

Joanne

Hi Siona, I’m going to try for John Haines’ In Search of Simplicity. Why? Because I am on a course to simplifying my life, and I feel so much lighter and less fearful already! I want to learn more!  However, any of the other 2 books will be great too!  Thanks, Caryne

Hi Siona!

All sound lovely, but please put me in for In Search for Simplicity. I feel that I am in need of some inspiration and this book seems like the perfect remedy. Thank you! Metta.

Ahhhhhh… In Search of Simplicity. would be a great weekend read and focal point for those in conversation who think but don’t see, and those try to see, but do not look…perhaps this read would be a grand link in the chain of events to give new life into a dimming candle…:)

Hi Siona
I am working at change and could use a good dose of Simplicity so it would be wonderful if u send me “in Search of Simplicity”

I have picked up a book I recommend “Secrets of the Lost Mode of Prayer” by Gregg Braden

What a wonderful opportunity
“In Search of Simplicity”

Surprise me!

Hi Siona,

Please put my name in the drawing for Less: Accomplishing more by doing less.
I’ve read excerpts form the book which you have kindly posted. It is a perfect fit for what I and my clients are dealing with. It is great way to to frame such crucial conversations and contains much wisdom I would share with many I meet and work with. Thanks for your great work and,

Best Wishes

Hi Siona,

Put me in for “In Search of Simplicity”. It already sounds wonderful.

Please add my name for “Less…”, I just reduced my possessions to two bags and Id like to maintain that, this book sounds like it will help, and will be a good one to share with with others.
Thanks

   add me in Marc Lesser’s Less: Accomplishing More by Doing Less

Thanks

Hello there,

I would like to be in the raffle for the book, ”In Search of Simplicity.”

The title sound very interesting…=]

Thanks.

add me for Marc Lesser’s Less: Accomplishing More by Doing Less.

Recently, I have been really stressed with all the work that has recently surrounded my life. I need to learn how to relax and let things flow. I have a feeling this book will help me out a great deal.

I desperately need to figure out how accomplish more while doing LESS!  Managing several busy, acute care units in a fast-paced, always full (but amazing!) hospital has left me frazzled and exhausted.  PLEASE drop my name in the bucket….just thinking about it and saying the title out loud gives me hope!  To actually hold it in my hands would be something else!

BabyNurse

Please add me to the drawing.  I would love any one of these books! 

Hey, I would love to be added to the draawing.

If I happen to win (crossing my fingers) I would like Laurent’s book “Celebrating Divine Presence: Journeys into God”

Thank you!!

Peace peace

Celebrating Divine Presence: Journeys into God is my choice. Thank you, Siona, for the opportunity.

I would like to go in the draw for the In search of simplicity book please cause I am in New Zealand and love to read books with reference to this powerful beautiful place I call home :)

Hey I would love to be put into the raffle for John Haines’ In Search of Simplicity. My life is so beyond complicated and I have been searching for simplicity in my life for a long time and I am only 19… Life should not be this hard or complicated before I am even 20!!!!! I need insight so badly!

Clare

Hi Sonia!

As a 53-year-old fulltime university Social Work student, I really appreciate (and desperately need!) the obvious insightful thoughts offered in Less: Accomplishing more by doing less! Actually I can see a great deal of peace and serenity offered by all three publications and would love anyone of them.

Please include me in the drawing!

Thanks so much,

Kristin

I would like to be put in for  Less: Accomplishing More by Doing Less. Over the past 5 or so years I have been through so much. Having dealt with cancer, a cheating spouse then divorce, and the death of my father 2 weeks ago, my life seems to be quickly spiraling out of control and my spirituality, which I use to lean on for support needs a tune up, of sorts. From all of the reviews I have read about the book it sounds like it could be just what the doctor ordered. Win or loose I know that book will find its way into my personal library. Thank you for the chance to win a copy.
Blessings,
Jazmine

Hello Siona!

I would love a chance to receive free wisdom from the book Less: Accomplishing More by Doing Less.  I am currently very driven to remember more and can feel another shifting of my soul that is currently taking place.  This book might help to accelerate my advances.  Thanks for the opportunity!

With infinite love and gratitude,

Peter

Siona! hi! after reading your thoughts on the three books [which all sound like great reads], i would love a shot at John Haines’ In Search of Simplicity. i over-complicate things and have been working at doing the complete opposite, though i struggle struggle struggle at it. thanks for giving us all a chance! and, as always, your amazing insight and all the incredible things you’ve enlightened us all to :]

love,mae.

I would like to be put in for Less:Accomplishing More by Doing Less.  I left a career two and half years ago, and have faced many challenges since then because of choices that I have made.  Some of these challenges have to do with health and energy or lack there of.   I will learn a different way of doing things because I must and I think this book will help.   Of course, if it is for me it will be.   Thank you for the opportunity.

Light and love.

Hi,

I’d like to offer my book, the 12-Step Buddhist as part of the giveaway. I’d be happy to send a signed copy out to a winner if you can include it in the list above.

Also, if I’m throwing my choice in, I’d go for Less.

thanks!

as a type “A” personality in recovery, I am very drawn to read the book, “Less: Accomplishing More By Doing Less”  , because it makes so much sense, and has been so challenging for me to ever accomplish, less, that is….over work, over kill, over everything that was my early training…………….Gods help Me!

namaste, peace, love, dark chocolate, and wonderful abundance is all good and fun things, y’all,

Rae

I vote for Marc Lesser’s book Less:Accomplishing More By Doing Less.

Thanks!
Carmela

I could definitely do with Less.

I would like more of Less… to have more LOL. I posted an entry directly after the articles that you posted on his book… you’ll find my reason for wanting this book there. It has been proven now that by slowing down and wanting to do less, the brain is actually more effective and you can learn more quickly by doing less… I cannot resist mentioning a book called Hare Brain Turtoise Mind on the concept that a slow mind is actually more intelligent… just to throw a span in the works

I would love John’s book too so if you have to chose between me and someone else who wants Less… you know…

Siona how on earth are you going to chose the winner… I run a spiritual library from home for my community so if I win, a lot of people would benefit from reading it :-)

….i believe in the watch word-SIMPLIFY..SIMPLIFY..SIMPLIFY..and quiet naturally my choice book is one which goes by that tempting title In Search of Simplicity.  by John Haines !!..i ‘ve cancelled all my week-end programmes reserving the day for reading that book…

..lastly , thanks so much  Siona for the lovely offer !

I would like to be in the drawing for Marc Lesser's “Less: Accomplishing More By Doing Less.” Some business partners of mine are considering putting together a list of productive reading materials, and this sounds like it would have a good spot to help those that are starting to work for themselves. Thank you very much for having an opportunity like this.

Hello :)

I would love to get to read John Haines' In Search of Simplicity.
Thanks for putting me in the drawing for this.
I think I need a read like that right now…

Hi Siona,
Please put my name in the hat also, Celebrating Divine Prescence: Journey to God.   I am looking for a new book for my church book study class and this one sounds perfect.

Marc Lesser's Less: Accomplishing More by Doing Less. Yes please!!

I would like to be in the draw for In Search of Simplicity. Reading your description I was immediately drawn to it. I'm someone searching for simplicity in my own life, in order to live better with my illness and enjoy the simple pleasures I'm so fortunate to be able to experience.

John Haines' In Search of Simplicity seems amazing.
I would love to own a copy of it, simply because my goal for this year is to “live simply so that others may simply live”

May I enter for emotional freedom, thats sounds good, thank you Sonia and Gaia, nice idea, good luck everyone

I'll love to throw my hat in for “Emotional Freedom” as well.  :) 

Hello Gaia folk,

I would like to enter for the copy of John's In Search of Simplicity.  I myself am on a journey that was brought on by the power of coincidence!  My journey is limited to the lower 49 at the moment (although I would give anything to wander New Zealand) and I am curious about how others have traversed this same 'coincidental' landscape.  I believe it's time for all to learn to live simply so that others might!

Thanks,
Dave   

Oh Yes Please!
Siona. You can include me in the draw for Less, the book. Sounds wonderful and exciting. Its time to re-evaluate both the HOW and Ways to do life.
Thank you
Tracey

Would you please put my name in for Marc Lesser's Less: Accomplishing More by Doing Less book?  That concept is something I will be exploring in earnest very soon.  It's time to focus on what's truly important and whittle down the rest!

Hello Siona and Gaia community,

Im glad I opened my email and saw there was a book raffle. I hope Im not too late? Anyway Id like to put my name in the draw for Marc Lesser's Less: Accomplishing More by Doing Less. The world today is very demanding and emotionally taxing. The requirements of the world are endless leaving me no time to take care of myself and my surroundings as much as I want to. The book sounds good as it is really helpful for people to be calm in these “busy times”.

That is all. Good luck to all of us.

:)

Hello everyone, I would like to enter myself for Marc Lesser's Less: Accomplishing More by Doing Less. This sounds like a fantastic book, I could use a reminder every now and then to slow down. Thank you everyone!

G'morning Sonia,

Please submit my name along with  Celebrating Divine Presence: Journeys into God. Exciting event you have going here.

Blessings,
Rob

Thanks for the giveaway Siona!

Please put me in the drawing for Less: Accomplishing More by Doing Less.  It's the theme I'm working on at present, as I'm in between jobs and way too tempted to try to fill in the time with busyness instead of taking some time to rest…

Peace.
