FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Nationally-recognized motivational speaker, Dr. Verna Cornelia Price will launch her newest book, The Silent Cry, at the Body Mind Life Expo
Her special Silent Cry Workshop will give you the tools to deal with the Subtracters who are preventing you from finding happiness and fulfillment in your life

For many of us, there is a silent cry in our hearts and minds about the why in life. Many of us are secretly asking ourselves, “Why am I not where I should be in life?” “Why am I not happy?” “Why do I constantly doubt myself?” “Why do I have so much chaos in my life?” “Why do things always seem to go wrong for me?” “Why can’t I get that promotion?”

Nationally-recognized motivational speaker Dr. Verna Cornelia Price will help you learn to overcome these and other obstacles to happiness during her special Silent Cry Workshop, to be held during the 2008 Body Mind Life Expo, to be held March 1-2, 2008 at the Minneapolis Convention Center. If you pre-register for the workshop at www.101expos.com, you will also receive a free copy of Dr. Price’s newest book The Silent Cry, which she is launching at the expo.

“Many of us are suffering from the impact, influence and power of a Subtracter in our lives: Someone who damaged our self-esteem and derailed our potential for excellence,” says Dr. Price. “Once you learn how to deal with a Subtracter, you can begin to live a happy life filled with confidence and fulfillment. You don’t deserve to carry around this silent cry for the rest of your life!”

Dr. Price says that someone may not even realize they are a Subtracter, but they are taking something valuable from you. In the process, they decrease your personal value. They can take anything from your money and time to your emotions and your confidence. “A Subtracter will take all of these, if you let them. If permitted, a Subtracter will strip your life of anything that adds to it, leaving it fragmented and lacking,” she says. “Think about your life right now. Are you whole? Is your life coming apart? What is missing? What is gone? Where did it go?”

The Silent Cry Workshop will teach you how to use these four core principles in your daily life:

You were born with power. “It doesn’t matter what color you are, what ethnicity you are, what gender, nationality or religion you are. It doesn’t matter if your parents were wealthy or poor. It doesn’t matter what circumstances into which you were born. The fact that you were born means that you were born powerful. You were born with something in you—power. Power is an internal spiritual force that gives you what you need to create changes in your life and your world. Everyone has it. No matter who you are, you have power.”
No one else has more power than you have. “You no longer have to be intimidated by people, or be moved by what they say or how they act. No matter what someone has accomplished, they still do not have more power than you have.”
No one can take your power from you, but you can give it away. “Your power belongs to you. The only way it can be used or abused is when you give it away. What does it mean to give away your power? It means you give away your options to choose for yourself.”
When you understand your power and begin to use it, your power begins to multiply. “The more you use your power, the more you are able to use it. As I began giving seminars and talking with people about their situations and their personal power, they began telling me about the powerful people in their lives.”

The special price for Dr. Price’s Silent Cry Workshop is $35. Those who pre-register on www.101expos.com will receive a free copy of her new book also called The Silent Cry. Registrations will also be accepted at the door, and her book will be available for purchase. In addition to this workshop, Dr. Price will also conduct two free keynote seminars at the Body Mind Life Expo entitled How to Get Past the Status Quo.
