One of hope and happiness, as well as freedom and spirituality.<br \/>\nHer book? <em>Bliss Beyond Belief<\/em>. The title alone was enough to draw me.<br \/>\nThe author? Noelle Marie Amendola.<\/p>\n<p>Wow! That\u2019s the word that comes to my mind when I think about meeting Noelle in person \u2013 or, sort of &#8220;in person&#8221; \u2013 in a recent SKYPE interview, no less. I am not real sure how I first met her but I think it was by accident (or, as she would put it, \u201cby Divine design\u201d) on Facebook. It does not matter now just how. What does matter, however, is who she is and the message she shares.<\/p>\n<p>Noelle Amendola exudes genuine excitement. You&#8217;ll see that in the interview. When she tells you that her life is filled with blissful ease, joyous trust, meaningful self-abandon, her face will say all of that for her. What you&#8217;re left with this feeling she could be the most real person you&#8217;ve met in a long time and you&#8217;d like to know her secret.<\/p>\n<p>Amendola has found feedom from what many across America would call a stifling religious background. Scores of people have left, or are leaving, the faith of their childhood. Many are searching for spirituality beyond religion. And, both of these descriptions would fit Amendola precisely. What makes her different, however, is that she has found her spiritual moorings.<\/p>\n<p>And, that may just be the biggest irony. Her spiritual moorings were not found until she turned loose of most of them. What is left is a joy and gladness that could only ever be found when we let go of a painful past, get in touch with our inner Source, and then share with others the bliss of this discovery, which is precisely what Noelle Amendola does.<\/p>\n<p>What a joy it was to interview her. But then, you\u2019ll share in that for yourself. Take a look here at her life, her joy, her infectious spirit of generosity, and her deep commitment to the Eternal Presence we all seek, whether conscious of it or not. Then, order her book, and discover for yourself what it means to enjoy <em><a title=\"Bliss Beyond Belief\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Bliss-Beyond-Belief-Journey-Highest\/dp\/150762509X\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1429019280&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=bliss+beyond+belief\" target=\"_blank\">Bliss Beyond Belief<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Bliss Beyond Belief: Interview with Noelle Amendola\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/125340394?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"320\" height=\"240\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write\"><\/iframe>\n<p><strong>What Others are Saying about Bliss Beyond Belief:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cNoelle\u2019s Book goes beyond a self-help book it is a like a blue print of how to get face to face with your inner child.\u201d \u2013 Toni Carbone<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cA wonderful uplifting book for everyone!\u201d \u2013 Jennifer Allred<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThis is a Wonderful book and great guide to a better life.\u201d \u2013 Emily Warren<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>She lives in a travel home, along with her husband.
