Hillary Harris checked in with fascinating details of the work she does with Soul Purpose, a business she started four years ago that enables her to be a "prosperity coach and intuitive strategist" over the phone with clients nationwide and in Canada. Clients retain her on a monthly basis to support them in'reaching goals and finding purpose, all the while creating more peace and prosperity along the way. She also teaches seminars/workshops for the general public, in addition to presenting topics at conferences, organizations and for companies. She created one seminar called "Living from the Heart in response to the events of September 11. Held in her hometown of Quincy, Massachusetts, the seminar, Hillary says, helped people "ease into our new world and help them begin to make sense of their emotions and continue to create their lives beyond the fear." For more information about Hillary's coaching work, you can e-mail her at hillarynal@gis.net. (She offers complimentary introductory sessions by phone!)

Of course, my column would not be complete without a plug for reunion—keep your eye out for registration information that should be landing in your mailbox in the coming weeks. And here are a few words from our reunion chair, Carrie Heinonen: "I don't know about you, but that awesome word-magnet thing is getting me pretty psyched for reunion. I'm beginning to reincorporate that long-lost vocabulary back into my everyday speech—referring to Chicago's Grant Park as the Bema; telling those who live too far away to visit that they live in the River; calling the new associates 'shmen (so unPC, I know). June 14 can't come soon enough! Meet you at 5:30 in the class tent for a bevie, okay?"
