Acknowledgments Page

Some Thank Yous
from Batya and Past Lives Coaching

Creating a website is like writing a book or making a movie. So I thought a page thanking those who have helped me along the way would be appropriate. Kind of like an acknowledgments page at the start of a book, or the credits rolling at the end of a film.

About two months before I put the first page of pastlivescoaching.com up on the web, I was a cyberphobe, someone afraid of computers and the Internet.

I used to be afraid I'd blow up my computer trying new things, or maybe even the entire World Wide Web would go Kaboom! due to me poking the wrong key at the wrong time. I sure didn't want that added to my karma!

I avoided anything Internet related (or hired people to do things for me, like the great job Debbie Gordon did with my first site, UPositive Creativity and Life Coaching). Sure, I had email, and tried the occasional Google Search, and even put up a short-lived blog or two. And, of course, kept track of my novel-writing endeavors during November's National Novel Writing Month challenge.

Then I found SBI! and my very own Inner Tortoisette!

La Tortoisette

At the moment, I'm writing up a story about what has happened since I found SBI! and La Tortoisette (pictured above). You'll be able to read it at pastlivescoaching.com before too long. Come back and check for it!

In the meantime...my thank yous.

Mom and Dad

Thank you for a lot of things, but especially for raising me to care about the well-being of others and supporting my choice to live my life doing so. I owe you everything, and love you very much!

Steve Casto

Where do I start? Steve is my unofficial business partner: we help each other with our work with support, expertise, a trade of editorial feedback, motivation, encouragement, inspiration...the list goes on forever. I probably wouldn't have been brave enough to do this website, SBI! or not, if it weren't for Steve. For sure my product line wouldn't exist! Nor would my eBook! Or my photo on this website and elsewhere. He's my graphics genius, cybercoach, editor, and really great friend. When he's not helping me he's busy with his advertising, marketing, and communications firm, Casto Communications. You can get to know him better there.

Elysabeth Eldering

My editor, work-warrioress, cyberfriend, cheering squad, number three fan, and role model. If you have a child of any age and think it important that they learn the geography (and related history, geology, etc.) of the United States, check out her fun and educational Junior Geography Detective Squad novels. (I helped edit them!)

All my Clients

Thanks to all my clients back in Brooklyn, NY and Nashville, TN, who trusted me with the sacred honor of guiding some of their personal development and spiritual growth. And especially to those who kept asking, "Batya, don't you do past life regressions? I need one." It's because of you that I signed up for Dr. Weiss's professional training at Omega Institute. Due to confidentiality laws, I can't name you - but you know who you are!

Dr. Brian Weiss

Learning past life regression therapy directly from Dr. Brian Weiss was more than a blessing. It was one of those very special times in life when you know you're in the presence of greatness. I don't mean greatness in a worldly sense (he hadn't been on Oprah yet, back then). I mean greatness of soul, of spirit, of commitment and integrity. Thank you, Brian, for your courage to bring this spiritual work to the public - and for going through your own metamorphosis to stay true to the wisdom you learned from doing this work. And, well, thank you for sharing it!

Ken Evoy

Never met Ken. Would like to someday.

Ken is the brilliant, generous person behind SBI! He's the man who created the program I was trying to find for about two years. "There's got to be something, somewhere that takes the cyber-challenged like me from step on all the way through: Look at my website!" But Ken, through SBI!, has created something even more. He's created a community that is so helpful, so sharing, so generous, that it's had to explain.

If you click the link at the bottom of any page of pastlivescoaching.com, it'll take you to a really detailed explanation of SBI! If you have questions about it, please ask me - I'll be really happy to share my experience with you.

And - just to be sure you understand - you don't have to be an Internet dummy to use SBI! Even code-writers create great (read: money-making) SBI! sites.

My SBI! Forum Buddies

This is separate. Well, it's part of SBI! But it's more than SBI! This is where I found an incredible community of people from all around the world who are doing what I'm doing - creating websites and online businesses. And helping each other with everything from a Rah! Rah! when we most need it, to specific information, to ideas, to actual html code to accomplish something on our pages. And who also provide those needed breaks from concentrating on building web sites. Thank you all so much!

Here's a smattering of diverse links for websites from some of my SBI! forum buddies. I apologize if I've missed anyone I should have included. Let me know!

You know where to find me!

Wish I could give you all the links of everyone there, but that would be a very large website in itself!
