This is a message for the world.

A great book about Joy, Love, and Possibility. The Path of Joy reminds us of truths we perhaps heard and ignored long ago, and yet its power lies not in esoteric proclamations but rather in the author's openness about her own disbelief. By allowing us to see the ways in which she prevented herself from living in Joy, through her anger and lack of self-love, she allows us to admit our own fears. She then shows us that each fear, each of our unloving acts, is a chance to free ourselves and travel a little further down the path of Joy. She also manages to convince us that it IS POSSIBLE, and that if we take even a few baby steps towards healing, we will be helped in the most wonderful, unexpected ways. I open this book often to remind myself that Joy is my birthright and Love my purpose.

THE ANSWERS AND JOY YOU SEEK ARE WITHIN

How refreshing to pick up this 93-page book that goes to the very core of what life is about! With welcome simplicity, The Path of Joy presents key spiritual principles in a direct, concise, and easy-to-understand fashion. But more than this, the author leads the reader to the threshold of his or her own inner riches.We all are seeking Joy-a happiness that wells up from within and which is not dependent on outer circumstances, a happiness that is utterly satisfying, always new and never ending. As we stretch and grow spiritually, this Joy is within our reach. When we make wise choices, our lives increasingly become permeated with gentle yet blissful happiness. This is the Path of Joy that Carla Nelson invites us to walk. She explains that progressing on this path requires courage; in a loving way, we must face our mistakes and shortcomings. Our erroneous thoughts and actions create fear instead of love. To experience abiding Joy, we must do battle with the negative, fearful part of ourselves. And we must open up to the enormous freedom that forgiving ourselves and others bestows.Along with letting go of difficult emotions and painful experiences of the past, the author instructs us in ways of attuning to the wise and loving guidance of our Higher Self that dwells within each of us. This is the central and most important contribution of her book. She explains that our Higher Self is our closest connection with God or the Christ Spirit. What we call this Indwelling Glory is not important; that we connect with it in a profound way, however, is essential to experiencing higher levels of peace, love and joy. Step-by-step, Carla shows us how to dialogue with our Higher Self, and why it is important to record in written form the wisdom we receive. By sharing how she learned to do this and the benefits she has received, Carla both encourages us and alerts us to potential pitfalls along the way.As necessary, your Higher Self will expose your errors and prompt you in new ways of thinking and acting. It may confront you, but it will do so in a most loving and accepting manner. It may present you with difficult choices, but it will also awaken within you the understanding and strength to prevail over even the most difficult challenges.Carla emphasizes that you should only follow guidance that feels loving and right for you. True guidance from your Higher Self will always be gentle, loving and wise. If you receive an inner message that is negative or unloving in any way, it is not a communication from your Higher Self. You must learn to tell the difference. You will know, Carla assures us; just listen to your heart and deeply trust yourself. The author reiterates the forgotten truth which all of us know deep within: Love is the answer to every question and the solution to all unhappiness. She explains that love and Joy go hand-in-hand. The author shows us how to seek answers within: "Making time each day for quiet refle

An opportunity to learn how to choose happiness

This book shows you how you build your own prison walls that prevent you from experiencing happiness and love. It then explains how you can create a more joyful reality by changing your mind and attitude and making different choices in your life. Everyone with whom I have shared the book has benefitted from it, and I recommend it highly to anyone and everyone.
