CONTRIBUTORS

TERESA VELARDI
SARAH JANES is an author , publisher , host of the Conversations That Make a Difference podcast , coach , and potter . Michelangelo , the famous 15th-century artist and sculptor said , “ Every block of stone has a statue inside it , and it is the sculptor ’ s task to discover it .” His job was to remove the excess stone to reveal the beauty within . Similarly , Teresa uses the art of pottery to illustrate how each ball of clay can be transformed into a beautiful work of art with the touch of the potter ’ s hand . She guides her clients through the process of centering , molding , shaping , and walking through the fire of challenges to effect positive life change as they gracefully and powerfully embrace the work of art they already are . Teresa found her passion and purpose through life ’ s challenges while trusting God ’ s plan . Faith , gratitude , and giving are her heart-centered approach to life . Her abilities as a writer , editor , and publisher are vital ingredients she offers to those who share their message with the world on her podcast and through her publishing platform . Teresa ’ s daily quiet time , writing , and gratitude practice keep her focused on her God-given purpose as life unfolds in our ever-changing world . She says , “ We all have a story and a heartfelt message to share . What ’ s your message ?" Teresa ' s compelling and inspiring story , “ Be an Overcomer ,” is perfect for our Bubble of Quiet Confidence section to inspire you this New Year !

Sarah ’ s new book , Initiation into Dream Mysteries , explores the evolution of imagination , memory , and consciousness throughout the ages . She explains how a conscious dream life is essential for self-discovery , deep integration , and healing . Sarah proposes that dreams have been fundamental in creating and developing cultures . Dreams are crucial to ancestor worship , afterlife beliefs , animism , religion , and wisdom traditions . She reveals how dreams offer us an opportunity to remember and directly experience our divinity , transcend the limitations of our mortality and enter timeless imaginal realms . These realms , accessible through dreams , can help us form a better understanding of who we are so that we can make better , more conscious decisions in our waking life . Sarah ’ s remarkable experience shared in “ Dream Medicine : A Life in Dreams ” is a beautiful story reminder in our Notes From The Fridge section !
