Change is the one thing many people are afraid of, yet it IS the most consistant thing in our lives. Most of us don't notice the changes because they are either baby step changes or slow changes and we just let it happen to us.
FACT: You will change (wether you like it or not) If you don't think so just look back on the last month, year, 5 years, 10years...don't stay there long..but just notice, oh so briefly, the CHANGES that have happened. Now come back to the present with me...Why not GUIDE your changes? How? change the way you think about things. Start right now to LISTEN to the "mind chatter" what are you saying to yourself? What "stories" are you telling yourself AND other people. Are they positive, uplifting stories? are they negative fearful or hateful stories? Are they stories like "oh whoa is me?" Are you caught up in someone elses' story? When I write story I mean you, you, and only you! YOU are the ONLY one YOU can control & change. YOU have the power to change YOU and noone else. If your stories or conversations are positive and uplifting GOOD FOR YOU! Keep it up. If your stories or conversations are of any other nature...turn it around...not happy with your boss? What are your bosses good qualities? Lost your job? Instead of moping around, start thinking of what you REALLY want to do...don't come from a place of lack...come from a place of infinite possibilities!!
Life is like a lemon so squeeze the daylights out of it!!! (In a good way of course)
Have A Great Day!!

The Journey of life
1) You have to make YOU happy..if you rely on someone else to do this for you, you are in for big upsets.
2) YOU CANNOT CONTROL OUTSIDE CIRCUMSTANCES...do i need to repeat that?? This is our number one biggest hangup...we want someone to do something for us first or be a certain way, THEN we will be happy...ahhh..be happy first and then notice what people do for you and then appreciate them for it and tell them so....
3) whatever you think about you become...if you continue to think the way you have always thought, you will continue to get, what you have always got...
4) Wether you tell yourself you can or can't, you are always right...
5) Your thoughts are things, CHOOSE THE GOOD ONES!
6) Tell those around you that you love and appreciate them and tell them in a BIG WAY!! You never know when at a moment either of you could be taken out of this physical world!!
Sometimes in the craziness of life, we just need to stop and take a look at where we are, right now, this moment and be thankful.
Sometimes that is not an easy thing to do, but i PROMISE, if you take that little bit of info and practice it a little each day, you will see a change, a shift, not only in how you think, but how you feel.
I am not into telling stories, not the kind that are full of oh whoa is me.
What i will tell you is i have had my moments (months) of dispair, anguish, fear, depression, anxiety. There was the grief counseling and the MDs wanting me to take anti-drepressants, i got on line to find "help" groups etc. What i found was MORE of that...and i didn't want MORE of that...then the pray, pray, pray....then the LORD JUST TAKE ME NOW!!!
What happened next was the answer, Christmas 2007, i was given the most wonderful gift by my friend Mary. Mary gave me a book and a CD. The book was "Power of Emotions" by Abraham-Hicks and the CD was also by the same authors and about death and dying and grief.
While i was reading the book there was a "lightbulb" moment for me...and it is that you have to be happy and joyful WITHIN yourself first, get there by any means.
You can not be totally in dispair and in a moment be totally happy. It is a process....take small steps.
I woke up each morning and decided to find something, ANYTHING to make me happy, my partner, my son, my home, my studio ANYTHING!!!
On my way to my studio i would look at the sky and say THANK YOU, one morning i noticed new grass on the side of the road and it was the most amazing green...
i started appreciating where i was, not where i had been and then i could see where i was going.
What happened to me will happen to all of us at some time in our lives and that is to lose someone we love dearly.
I lost one of my best friends, my mom. I now realize that when i was in a place of grief and dispair, i wasn't in a place of connecting with her on a different level. Now i feel her energy around me and it makes me happy!
If i could go back and change it all?? YES, i miss her physical hugs the most. Obviously i can not and i KNOW she wants us, her family, to be happy and i am living up to that.
..oh mom, in life AND in physical death, you are still teaching me...THANK YOU!! i appreciate you ALWAYS!!
2) YOU CANNOT CONTROL OUTSIDE CIRCUMSTANCES...do i need to repeat that??

Our True Fear
A new friend of mine just emailed this to me and I wanted to share, it is by Nelson Mandella:
"Our deepest fear is not that we are
inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond
measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens
us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,
talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a
child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other
people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to
shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory
of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in
everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously
give other people permission to do the same. As we are
liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically
liberates others."
Thanks Jean!!

The Bible reveals "The Secret"
The question in my mind and others is, how do religion and "law of attraction" work together?
"Law of Attraction" IS the basis of ALL religion.
It is the very foundation that our FAITH is based on...BELIEVING in a higher power, BELIEVING in a greater good. That GOOD IS YOU, BELIEVE IN YOU, the higher power, Source, Universe, God work through you, you ARE an extension of God.
Law of Attraction IS a law, just like gravity IS a law, it works all the time, everyday, 365 days a year, 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
The following are pulled from the Bible...BELIEVE it..or not...
For a man thinketh in his heart, so is he...Proverb 23:7
Whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive...Matthew 22:21
Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Mark 11:23
Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Phil. 4:8
Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek and ye shall find; knock and it shall be open unto you. Matthew 7:7
What are you asking for? What do you appreciate? What do you believe? How do you feel? What are you thinking?
You are a creator, you can be a DELIBERATE creator...
Have fun, God has a BIG sense of humor!! Well, that is my opinion and I'm sticking to it!!

What If for the Better
I woke up this morning with this thought, so clear...to me any way.
If you are NOT getting the results you want, how are you looking at it?... are you viewing it from a place of lack? or are looking FORWARD to when you WILL get what you want and you can see yourself there with the very thing(s) in the very space that you have been dreaming about?!
Take a moment and see yourself already there, already driving the new car, living in the new house or YOU just BEING HAPPY...FEEL how it FEELs, FEEL how you FEEL!! Work yourself into a FEEL GOOD place about it!
I know sometimes the thoughts about the lack and "oh whoa is me" creep up, I will tell you that you cannot totally eliminate these thoughts but you CAN OVERRIDE THEM, think something new...think "what if for the better".
What if I find the better job or opportunity to push me ahead, what if i see my partner, friend, lover, kids, in a different light and they are happy. When you catch yourself playing the what if in the negative, turn it around, catch yourself and think, say or do, the opposite.
Be easy on yourself, changing your thoughts and habits is not always an easy process but when it happens you will FEEL such a shift in your thinking, it IS amazing.
Start where you are, your past does not dictate your future, you are magnificent!
"What if" I'm right?

Letting go, gets you where you want to go...
If you could get to the place where you no longer feel a need to push against anything that you disagree with--you would become in alignment with what you do agree with. Even within your own body, it is your pushing against those things you don't agree with that causes you to be out of alignment with what you do agree.

FEEL your way!!
So, the truth is, there's not one path. The truth is, there's not only one right path. The truth is, all paths can be made to be the right path. The truth is, that every individual has a different path. And that different path that every individual is launching incrementally—and amending constantly—that true path is known by Source and is guided by Source if you will pay attention to the way you feel.

Dream Dream Dream
Just love everybody that interacts with you no matter how personally, or how peripherally, involved with you they are. The efficiency of the people who deal with you... everything is orchestrated by the manager called Law of Attraction. And your vibration is setting all of it into motion. Everything affecting you is a reflection of the vibration that you are emitting. Spend more time focused upon your dream than upon the reality. The reality gives birth to the dream -- but the dream is where you are wanting to put your attention. --- Abraham

Ask and it is Given...ALWAYS!! Part 1 of 3
When you ask, it is always given.
There are three steps to this creative process.
The first step is: Life causes you to ask. Some say, "I don't think I should ask for so much", and we say, you can't help it.
The entire Universe has been established, and when you are this genius leading edge creator that you are; and you are surrounded by details, comparisons, experiences, as you're exposed to the variety and details of life; your thinking mechanism automatically comes to new conclusions constantly of what would be improvement. And that is such a good thing. Even if you are a one celled organism, that's true of you. Even if you are a one celled amoeba in the ocean, you are exposed to experience that is causing you to come to new conclusions and the source within you turns undivided attention to that new conclusion and that is what causes the evolution of all species, you see.

Ideas to stimulate your “creative” side
Shower or bath with your eyes closed
Your sense of touch helps your brain create a layout or map of your shower or tub.
Other senses are heightened when one sense is taken away.
The smell of your soap, shampoo and conditioner will appear more intense, you will find that even “odorless” items have an odor.
All with your left
Brush your teeth, brush your hair, shave, eat breakfast or drink your coffee or juice with the “oposite” hand than you are used to...
this makes you more aware of what you are doing, you will notice things that you haven’t noticed before, the “way” you brush your teeth, your hair etc.
Put your shoes (and socks) on in the opposite way.
If you usually put your left shoe on first, then right, switch, put your right shoe on first, then left...sense your “self” knowing that something is different..
Do these exercises for 30 days they will hep you notice things that you would otherwise ignore.
Another brain exercise you can do every day is connect things.
For example, any time you surf the web - always think of what new things you are learning related to things you already know. Notice things you’ve been talking or thinking about and watch as some information appears somewhere with an answer or perspective to what you have been thinking about.
Personal Example: My partner and I were talking about finding specific types of photographers, within 2 days of the conversation I noticed someone sent me a link to be “friends” with a photographer on facebook AND I met an old classmate that does the very type of photography we were looking for...
Beginning to automatically see and make these connections in your mind makes you more creative and allows you KNOW that YOU create YOUR OWN solutions and opens you up to new ways of doing things.
Everyone IS creative...tell yourself YOU ARE...
