The Next Top Spiritual Author Contest will award an author with a Hampton Roads publishing contract and promotional package after a 4-part, 8 month competition process. The first round of the competition include submissions by over 2700 authors!  Thanks to your votes (you know who you are!), Our Next Step is now in Round 2!!  (Thank You!) At the end of the Second Round (June 28, 2010) 25 authors will progress to Round 3, according to how many votes they receive and how well they "score" with a panel of judges. I am grateful and enthusiastic about my participation in Round 2.  And now, I ask you to support the publication of this book by casting your vote.  If you voted in Round 1, Thank You!, and Yes, vote again in this round, please!  The importance and pertinence of this book's information to the epic transition we are currently living in is crucial. We must have spiritual resources to work with to assist us in grounding in the new paradigm we all wish to create, and this book provides a practical and profound roadmap for taking our next step as humanity. Your help in bringing this information to a large and ever increasing audience is not only personally (and greatly!) appreciated by me, but very possibly key to helping create a more ease-full, joyful shift for all of us. Our collaboration starts now, not only with your vote, but also by your feedback, interaction and cooperative communication via our co-creative website if you should choose to take that step. Thank You for playing in the adventure with me. I look forward to your joyous, collaborative co-creations emerging in the new paradigm!

About the book~

The time has come for radically different economic, educational, political and social systems on the planet.  We can no longer operate within the old paradigm.  It's time to create the new.  How do we establish new structures on the planet that actually uphold and support “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness”?  Believe it or not, this book will answer that.

Awakening our creativity, shifting our perspective and expanding our awareness, Our Next Step combines the wisdom of forgiveness with the power of collaborative visionary action to empower individuals and humanity to take our next step into a new paradigm based on sharing and cooperation rather than competition, love rather than fear, giving rather than scarcity, peace and freedom rather that destruction and domination.  This book shows us how to take the next step, personally and globally, as humanity, in order to create and establish new societal structures that support a radically new and different human experience.

The time has come for this “spiritual resource book for creating the new paradigm.”  The time has come for the qualities of Spirit to be manifest in the structures of our society.  This new paradigm will come about as a result of our coming into right relationship:  with ourselves, with others, and with our environment.  Through right relationship, we are empowered to take effective, compassionate and just action to establish the new.

This is Our Next Step.  It's life changing and world changing, full of inspiration and practical information for creating lives of sustainable peace, joy, freedom and abundance, for All.
