Month after month, topic after topic, responses to Kelly Martinsen's editorial letters published in Natural Awakenings Long Island magazine grew and readers were connecting with her words in life-changing ways.

As publisher of Natural Awakenings Long Island magazine, each month Kelly Martinsen writes a letter to readers that sets the tone of that issue's unique editorial theme. Four years ago, within two days of publishing her first letter, 'You Only Regret the Things You Don't Do,' a reader called to thank her for the thought-provoking piece that spoke deeply to her. Month after month, topic after topic, responses to Martinsen's editorial letters grew and readers were connecting with her words in life-changing ways. A Year of Inspired Living is a monthly chapter book with weekly sub-chapters, compiling and expanding on Martinsen's letters leaving the last page of each week for the reader to write their own letter. Chapter topics include: love, commitment, faith, challenges, death, freedom, middle age, children, cancer, dog poop and more. Written in a familiar voice, A Year of Inspired Living speaks with wisdom, tongue-in-cheek self-effacing humor, and raw honesty to help readers reach into the hidden corners of their lives and develop a greater awareness of their own personal relationships and journeys. To help them reap the maximum benefit of their experiences, a reflection question and blank page follows each weekly entry, guiding and inspiring them to record their own life-story.

Inspired Living lays out a three-part plan to live out your calling by mastering your time, talent, and treasures. This process can take anyone, no matter their background, finances, or education, down the slow and steady path that leads to lasting transformation by helping put together the puzzle of their calling. Far from being a one size fits all approach, Inspired Living is a guidebook that contains exercises and steps that allow people to examine their own life, reflect on the good and the bad, and intentionally invest in themselves and others so they can develop influence and make real impact on the world. The focus is not on making massive shifts or dramatic changes but rather focusing on small, incremental steps that allow change to not only happen but stick. Individuals will find that they can leave bad habits behind, create good habits, and change the behaviors holding them back from living in alignment with their purpose. In addition, Inspired Living debunks the myths surrounding time and money, bringing to light the crucial role of self-management in determining their effectiveness. Step into the empowering world of Inspired Living and embark on your path to leaving a significant mark on the world, truly living your calling, and manifesting the best version of yourself.

SELF-HELP & PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT. Inspiration is for everyone! It isn't reserved for high-profile creative geniuses in the arts and sciences - it's our Divine birthright. In Living an Inspired Life (previously published under the title Inspiration), Dr Wayne W Dyer explains how to connect to the knowledge and understanding that we had in the spirit realm before we chose to incarnate in physical form. From this all knowing place of spirit, we choose our physical body, our parents and the nature of the life we would lead on the earth. We made these choices co-creatively with the Source and now here on earth if we can reconnect to that Source energy it can transform our lives. Living our lives inspired by Source energy is a powerful antidote to the feelings of emptiness that disconnection from our soul creates. As you read each chapter in this book, you'll find specific suggestions for living 'in-Spirit'.
