Enjoy the Lemonade and Pay it forward!

By Elinor Svoboda | March 5, 2025

A sure sign of spring ahead – a lemonade stand! My 8 year old daughter and I were taking a walk in our neighbourhood when we came across two small kids at a makeshift lemonade booth, offering us a refreshing cup for sale. Too bad we weren’t carrying any money! Their mother stepped up and…

Kindness is a Reflection of the Soul

By Elinor Svoboda | January 31, 2025

Patty Ferris is a senior member of the Training In Power Academy, a public speaker and educator. As this month’s guest blogger, Patty shines a light on the importance of kindness and how we might live it out in the world. It’s struck me lately that the world could use some more kindness. But what…

“I wish that Level 1 was required to graduate from high school. But for now it’s the kind of course that each person must to decide to do. My wish is that everyone will choose to raise themselves to their full potential. And Level 1 is the beginning step to taking back your life.”

It was really circumstance that brought me to the Training – a friend was doing it and I didn’t want to be left out.

“And so my Journey began … Right from Level 1, I felt my family’s belief systems that had held me hostage for so long, begin to dissipate. I found a passion and love for life that has transformed not only my life but my children’s as well. I feel I’m a better person and a healthier parent. I’m excited about life in a way I could never have imagined.

This may not be what Spirituality means to others, but for me, taking Level I was the start of my true spiritual journey. This work has changed my life in every way. As a teacher of this work, I can share it with others, to perhaps create a happier world where we stop terrorizing ourselves and connect to the goodness within us all.”

If I had to narrow it down to one thing that I have received

“If I had to narrow it down to one thing that I have received from undertaking courses with Faye Fitzgerald and the Training in Power Academy, I would say that the deep sense of self-esteem and understanding of my unique contribution to the world is what stands out in my mind.”

I was a psychic child

“I was a psychic child and learned to read palms when I was 11 years old and from there to astrology, numerology, tarot, back to palms. People avoided me they were afraid I would know too much about them. I avoided people as I did not want to know. Since taking Level I (in Abbotsford), I am now able to work and fit into mainstream society. I got on my own team!

The work is difficult, it takes focus and courage and the payback is incredible! I have learned to look to myself for answers, rather than to the exterior. I no longer blame others for my challenges in life. Mostly I’ve become aware of the rewards of being in service to myself first and others second. Life is rich.”
