Starting Point for a

Season of

Re-education

&

Renewing of the Mind

    

As developed and suggested by

~ Barb Shelton ~

      

If you have read very much of my writings, you have heard about a "Season of Re-education and Renewing of the Mind."  Here I present the heart 'n' soul stuff for putting yourself through such a "season." 

  

But let's back up a step...  If you got to this page without really knowing what this course is about, it would be best if you started at my Course (Season of Re-education) Intro Page and THEN come back here for the full description.  (There's a link on that page that will get you back to this page; or just click your back button.) That way you'll have a general overview of the what's and why's of my course (called a "Season of Re-education and Renewing of the Mind") before getting into the nitty-gritty of it!   

   

The sections below are intended to be read as one booklet, preferably in order, none to be skipped, except #10, the one in green print and parentheses. (The only reason you'd need to read that is if you have heard of my video-correspondence course and are confused about what that was and this is.)  In fact, to make the sections more cohesive and as easily accessible as possible for you, I have linked them all together, so you can go from one to the next without coming back here!

     

    

IMPORTANT NOTE:

   

I do not mean to seem distant,

picky, or bossy*, but here's the deal:  I really need

to ask that you read every single one of the following items

(except #10)  before you contact me about the course.

Chances are your question(s) will be answered

somewhere in there.

   (#15 will explain why I need you to do this,

but please read that in order!)

  

* Being the oldest of 7 children, I'm especially sensitive to the bossy issue;

 I'm very good at it (being bossy) and have to be ever-so careful to NOT be!
