I could sure use your feedback!

As you may know, I have received enough votes (thank you!) to move on to Round 2 of the Next Top Spiritual Author competition. Round 2 requires us to submit a book proposal, the same kind we would submit if we were pitching our books to publishers even without this competition.

Here’s where your help would be tremendously valuable. If you would answer whichever one of these questions is appropriate, I will send blessings unto the 10th generation in gratitude. ;-*

1. If you have read Shape Shifting, please let me know your favorite aspects of it, so I can be sure to emphasize those features.

OR

2. If you haven’t read Shape Shifting, please read the information below and let me know: what are the questions you have about the book and its concepts?

Here are the book’s vitals:

AUTHOR: Lisa Bonnice

BOOK TITLE: Shape Shifting–the Body/Mind/Spirit weight solution

GENRE: Body Messages, Conscious Creation, Health: Weight Loss, Personal Development, Transformation

SUMMARY: What if you were able to see excess weight or illness as a blessing … as clues to a mystery to be solved? What if you could learn to change your body’s physical condition for the better by becoming more consciously aware? You can learn to become a Shape Shifter and help your body to become its healthiest self.

BOOK DESCRIPTION: What if you were able to see your body’s physical condition as a treasure map to your internal world? What if you were able to see excess weight or illness as a blessing … as clues to a mystery to be solved? What if you could learn to change your body’s physical condition for the better by becoming more consciously aware?

You can do all this and more! You can learn to become a Shape Shifter and help your body to become its healthiest self. Shift your thoughts, shift your shape!

Are you ready to step out of the mainstream diet maelstrom … an old-fashioned and broken system … and into your future Self? Diet and exercise are all well and good, but we all know that they don’t create lasting results if the dieter doesn’t change fundamental things about the way they live their everyday lives. These lifestyle changes are by far the hardest to make, but Shape Shifting gives the reader a fascinating and friendly body/mind/spirit method of creating a whole new life, with a healthier body as a bonus!

You’ll enjoy this book if you’re interested in manifesting the healthiest expression of your Self, using the power of your body/mind/spirit. You’re not interested in looking like someone else’s ideal of what you “should” look like. You’ve had it up to here with what others think your body should be.

Imagine how great it will feel when you finally feel good in your own skin. It’s not an impossible dream. You really can feel great about yourself. In fact, the sooner you do, the sooner you will begin to shift your shape into its healthiest form. What’s even more exciting is that, as you begin to see results, you’ll notice that your overall life is getting better, too! That’s because you’re learning to be your genuine, authentic self … the self that lives in your DNA, the self you came here to be. And as you become more genuine and authentic, then so does your life. It feels so wonderful that you won’t believe you ever lived any other way.

Shape Shifting includes a foreword by Neale Donald Walsch.

Lots of radio shows this week!

Just a quick post to keep everyone updated with the four radio shows I have scheduled for the next week or so.

Last night I was on Insights for the Soul, and it was one of the best interview shows I’ve done so far. Please listen to the archive because you’ll get a very deep understanding of Shape Shifting and why I think I have a chance at winning the Next Top Spiritual Author competition.

Wednesday, April 7 at noon EST I will be the guest on the Joy of Love and Life Next Top Spiritual Author series show by Tambra Harck on BlogTalkRadio.

Then, April 7 at 8PM EST, I will be hosting a special episode of Shape Shifting, with my guest psychic reader Carmen Brower. She is incredibly gifted and will be offering readings.

Next week, on April 13, I will once again be Bel Marshall’s guest on Bel’s Light. It’s always a fun time with Bel!

The voting has begun! Can I count on your support?

The contest has begun! It’s time for me to get out there and start gathering your votes.

(Go the extra mile after you vote, and you might win a signed copy of Shape Shifting! See the bottom of the page for details.)

I am a contestant in the Next Top Spiritual Author competition, which is like American Idol for someone like me. I’m entering the new edition of my first book, Shape Shifting–the Body/Mind/Spirit Weight Solution. First place is a publishing contract with Hampton Roads. That is a really great prize, and I’m ready for it. I’m prepared to step into the role of “professional, published author.” I have all of my ducks in a row, with the radio show, the daily diary, the blog, discussion forum and teams, etc. Readers of my book have reported weight losses of up to 80 pounds, which they’ve kept off!

I truly believe that Shape Shifting is an idea whose time has come. I can win this competition … it’s what I’ve been building toward my entire life. But I need your help. Round 1 is more or less a popularity contest, so I need you and everyone you know to vote for me. After you vote, post it on your Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, and/or whatever other social networking sites you use. Help me spread the word and make it to Round 2! There are approximately 3000 contestants, so EVERY VOTE IS IMPORTANT. Voting begins March 29, and this is the web address you’ll visit to do so:

If you want more information before voting, please visit http://www.shapeshiftingonline.com/contest.htm

I can’t stress this enough: after you vote, I would REALLY appreciate it if you would tell your friends, and ask them to tell their friends, because this is a numbers game. Let’s ripple this outward like Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. Let’s get people who’ve never even heard of me before to vote for me in this competition.

If you want to post this note on your Facebook profile, just click the “Share +” button next to the headline. Or, you can copy and paste this and add it as your own note. If nothing else, just send them the link

and ask them to vote for your friend, Lisa, who you think deserves to win. Twitter, Ning sites, your SparkPeople page, and email lists are all great ways to spread the word.

GO THE EXTRA MILE AND ENTER A DRAWING TO WIN A FREE, AUTOGRAPHED COPY OF SHAPE SHIFTING—RECLAIMING YOUR PERFECT BODY: If you really want to go the extra mile, I’m also asking for Oprah’s help and you can, too! Oprah’s website has a place to request a “Harpo Hook-Up.” The site says,

Are you or someone you know deserving of a Harpo hook-up? What do you think would make a HUGE impact on your life or someone else’s? Do you know someone who needs some help right now? Do you have a desperate need or someone you just want help thanking? Do you have a fun or outrageous dream that you need help to make a reality? The Oprah Show is interested in hooking someone up! Tell us why you or someone you know is deserving.

I think that having a Harpo Hook-Up would absolutely ensure a positive outcome, so if you would be so kind, visit

https://www.oprah.com/ownshow/plug_form.html?plug_id=3893165

and fill in the form. In the bottom box, where it says “Tell Us Your Story,” you can add something like the example below. Please feel free to use your own words, if you prefer. This is just a suggestion for those who don’t know what to say:

***
I would love to see a Harpo Hook-Up to help Lisa Bonnice win the Next Top Spiritual Author competition with her book Shape Shifting—the Body/Mind/Spirit weight solution. The contest is like American Idol for new thought authors, and the first prize is a publishing contract with Hampton Roads. I believe that a body/mind/spirit approach to health and weight balancing is the way to go, and Lisa’s book is cutting edge with its approach: Shift your thoughts, shift your shape. Her book is for those who are struggling with losing weight and can’t figure out why nothing they do is working. One example is that the Law of Attraction states that we get what we think about, and if we think of ourselves as fat and ugly, we’ll only get more of the same. Another is that as long as we have anything to gain by not losing, as long as excess weight acts as a protective barrier, then it is actually doing us a favor. It is a blessing to us. So until we figure out other ways to feel safe, that weight is going nowhere, just like a protective old bulldog that won’t leave your side. You can find out more information about Lisa and her book at http://www.shapeshiftingonline.com

After you submit your request for a Harpo Hook-Up, copy and paste the first paragraph of the page you see next, and email it to me at lisa@lisabonnice.com with your name and address (so I can sign and mail your book to you if you win), and you will be entered to win!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP WITH THIS!

Abraham’s quote today is for Shape Shifters

I love the daily quotes from the Abraham-Hicks site and post them every day in the Abraham/Law of Attraction SparkTeam, but today’s is especially fitting for Shape Shifting:

True healers know that wellness is the order of the day, so they do not allow themselves, even for a moment, to see anything other than that. So, the power of the healer is in the power to influence the one who needs to be healed into a vibration that allows the healing that they are summoning. (that they could get, even without the healer, but they can get faster with a healer’s influence)
— Abraham
Excerpted from the workshop in San Francisco, CA on Saturday, July 30th, 2005 #392

To me, this means that we are all our own healers. If we intend to make healthy changes in our bodies, then we need to make equally healthy changes in our mind and spirit in order to stay balanced. When we become so focused on healthy body/mind/spirit balance, then no other outcome is possible.

A new body/mind/spirit weight loss clue!

According to this article:

www.sparkpeople.com/resource/health_news_detail.asp?health_day=637351

obesity is an inflammatory condition!

Now, bodywise, this can be addressed pretty easily. Just Google or ask your doc (or Naturopath) for the best way to decrease inflammation.

Mindwise, according to Debbie Shapiro’s brilliant Bodymind Workbook (which is similar to Louise Hay’s work only much more in depth), inflammation means “a bodily expression of an inner inflammation; we have become inflamed or enraged about something and are expressing it through the body.”

When we take this into the Shape Shifting realm, this means we might want to work on any forgiveness issues we may have not addressed yet.

Spiritwise, anything out of balance with your Center is going to express itself physically. Perhaps we can connect with our own Spirit to help us to “forgive those who have trespassed against us.” Maybe getting a little Reiki would be a big help!

Will it help us to lose weight? Only time will tell, but whether it does or not is almost irrelevant, isn’t it? Only good can come of these actions, either way.

The Next Top Spiritual Author contest VOTE FOR LISA BONNICE

After a great deal of thought, I have decided to enter the Next Top Spiritual Author competition. This is like American Idol for someone like me. I can’t dance, I can’t sing, but I can write a pretty doggone good “New Age” book.

I’m entering the newest edition of my first book, Shape Shifting–the Body/Mind/Spirit Weight Solution. First place is a publishing contract with Hampton Roads. Those of you who know me know that I’ve been busting my ass to promote this book for many years, including doing a radio show, free coaching/conference calls, creating and publishing the Shape Shifter’s Daily Diary to help readers learn to Shape Shift their own lives, and even offering a free ebook to those whose budgets don’t allow for books in exchange for a random act of kindness. I’ve also started a Shape Shifting Team on the SparkPeople site, in order to help members there to add Shape Shifting to their diet/exercise program.

I truly believe that Shape Shifting is an idea whose time has come and that I have a shot at winning this competition. But I need your help. Round 1 is more or less a popularity contest, so I need you and everyone you know to vote for me. Tell everyone you know, and post it on your Facebook, Twitter and whatever other social networking sites you use. Help me spread the word and make it to Round 2! Also, please forgive me in advance for any heavy promotional overkill. I want to win this, and in order to do so, I must be relentless.

Voting begins March 29, and this is the web address you’ll visit to do so:  

http://www.NextTopAuthor.com/?aid=2155

If you click on that link before March 29, it won’t take you to my profile, it will take you to the site’s home page. The author profile pages won’t be activated until the contest goes live.

Once again, please help me to spread the word and get as many votes as I can. I’ve waited a long time for an opportunity like this, and I’m going to make the best of it.

Namaste,
Lisa

Listen FREE today only to my interview about Shape Shifting with Maureen Moss on the World Puja Network

From the WorldPuja site:

Author Lisa Bonnice lives a Jimmy Buffet lifestyle and spends as much time as possible barefoot. She also talks to her body… a lot. Great conversation.

Lisa is not just an author, she was a stand up comedienne for seven years, working with the likes of Tim Allen, Jeff Foxworthy, and Steve Harvey. And, she spent over five years as a multi-award-winning affiliate writer and producer for MSNBC.com.

Her first book, Shape Shifting — reclaiming YOUR perfect body … an empowering body/mind/spirit look at weight issues is a completely unique, humorous and REAL way, to shape shift your body, without buying into anything you may have heard before.

Her second book, The Shape Shifter’s Daily Diary soon followed, as readers world-wide requested a companion tool to help them with their own Shape Shifting efforts. Results have been fantastic! www.lisabonnice.com

Topics Of Conversation:

•What Do Words Have To Do With Shape Shifting? A lot.
•What Does God Have To Do With Shape Shifting? A lot.
•What Do Pretzels and Asparagus Have To Do With Shape Shifting? A lot.
•What Does Liking Yourself, Maybe Loving Yourself Have To Do With Shape Shifting? Tune in and hear for yourself.
