An Open Letter to my Colleagues in Religious Science and New Thought
Teachings

I’d like to introduce you to a powerful force of nature, Ms. Dotti Berry, a certified Life Coach with ©IMPACT Communications and the creator of a powerful E-course on relationships called Shift2Relate™.

In the relatively short time that I’ve known Dotti, less than a year, she has had a profound impact on my personal life.  She has a brilliant and provocatively creative mind and her energy is simply infectious.  She first encouraged me to begin looking at, caring for, exercising and loving my body in new ways.  The old lethargy towards physical exercise began to fall by the wayside.  She shared a portable exercise system with me called Master Moves®

As I began to exercise more regularly, I found that walking and working out after my sitting meditation became an organic part of my spiritual practices.  My enthusiasm and zest for life expanded exponentially.  Friends and congregants began to comment that I was looking ‘radiant’.  I’m still far from slim, but my body is more toned and flexible than it’s been in years.  That’s a joy!

But wait!  There’s more!  She knew that I was emerging from the grief of releasing my marriage into the celebration of re-discovering myself, so she invited me to participate in her Shift2Relate e-course.  The results have been profound and life-changing for me.  The clarity, joy, confidence and sense of infinite possibility that I have awakened to as a result of this inner work is wonderful.  I have an inner sense of freedom and power that is deeply aligned with Spirit in delightful new ways. 

I am deeply grateful to Dotti for sharing her techniques and wisdom with me.  I gladly recommend her to you for seminars or as an inspiring guest speaker for your Sunday services.  Her Shift2Relate™ e-course is very affordable and includes visualization, meditation, journaling and deep breathing all in alignment with Religious Science.

Dotti and her life partner, Roby, are now preparing to step out in faith on an personal journey called Gay into Straight America: Two Women and a Poodle, (www.GayIntoStraightAmerica.com), taking their message of understanding, acceptance and tolerance anywhere in this country that is willing to welcome them.  If that includes your church, please contact her now so that she can include you in her travels.

With great love and respect,
