Coming home for work tonight, I heard this song on the radio.

The Dance, sung by Garth Brooks

Looking back on the memory of
The dance we shared 'neath the stars alone
For a moment all the world was right
How could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye

And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance

Holding you I held everything
For a moment wasn't I a king
But if I'd only known how the king would fall
Hey, who's to say you know I might have chanced it all

And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance

Yes, my life is better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance

It really made me stop and think.  I believe messages are given to us by Spirit. They even come in the form of a song.   I also believe we are on this Earth Plain to learn all kinds of lessons.  We learn lessons we have chosen for ourselves and we help others learn their lessons too.  We take part in a grand theme of things we, as humans, cannot even fathom.

When we come to Earth in this human form, we feel pain we don't feel in Spirit.  We also feel a kind of joy and excitement not felt in Spiritual form.  Once in human form, we forgot what we are here to learn, teach, heal and contribute.  We know we want to have a good time and avoid pain.  The problem is, if we try and avoid the pain, we also miss out on so much joy and the pride of overcoming hardship.  We also miss out on what we are supposed to contribute.

Maybe, we are supposed to be in this relationship for more than just us.  Maybe it is to help teach the other person one of their Spiritual lessons, or to produce the great, great, great, great grandmother or grandfather of someone who contributes much to the world.   Maybe the child involved is going to cure the world of cancer, hunger, or find a way to bring peace and joy to everyone.

The next time you are in a painful situation, please ask yourself, "What can I learn in this situation," or "What could I have contributed to the Universe or Spirit in this situation?"  Believe it or not, those simple questions will help us take an active part in our recovery of and in our own Spiritual Growth.  And that is what we are all here to do.  Grow Spiritually.

When a butterfly flaps its wings in one part of the world it can cause a hurricane  in another part of the world.

Students often ask me if this quote is true.  Many of them have heard different variations of this quote and before really giving it much thought they take the quote for face value and really think that if a butterfly flapped its wings in New Jersey a storm might happen in another part of the world.  The "butterfly effect" as the term was originally called was the brainchild of MIT meteorologist Edward Lorenz.  In 1961 while working as an assistant professor in MIT's department of meteorology, Lorenz created an early computer program to simulate weather.  One day he changed one of a dozen numbers representing atmospheric conditions, from .506127 to .506. That tiny alteration utterly transformed his long-term forecast, a point Lorenz wrote about  in his 1972 paper, "Predictability: Does the Flap of a Butterfly's Wings in Brazil Set Off a Tornado in Texas?"

 

Lorenz’s meteorological investigations eventually became called the "butterfly effect," the concept that small events can have large, widespread consequences.  Translated into mass culture, the butterfly effect has become a metaphor for the existence of seemingly insignificant moments that alter history and shape destinies.  Typically unrecognized at first, the butterfly effect once recognized shows a cause and effect relationship or creates threads or connections between two or more seemingly unconnected entities. 

 

This is where the Monarch Butterflies come into play.  At first the Monarch seems like a beautiful yet insignificant insect.  As time passes and we learn about the life cycle of the Monarch, the many obstacles it must overcome in its various stages of metamorphosis from predators, parasites,  loss of habitat, deforestation in its winter Sanctuaries in Mexico, we learn that how we live our everyday lives; the chemical fertilizers, weed killers and pesticides that we use to supposedly make our world a better place to live actually do just the opposite.  The Monarch leads us to investigations about the people to our north in Canada, in its northern most summer breeding grounds as well as the peasant farmers in Mexico and their families that protect the Monarchs' overwintering forests, in spite of the fact that they need the wood from the trees in the region for homes, for firewood and to keep their families safe.  The Monarch turns our focus from Science to Social Issues, Geography and History.  Even the Pre-Hispanic cultures of central Mexico including the Teotihuacanos,  Aztecs and Purepecha people  were aware of the fact that Monarchs came to their region in annual cycles, therefore they were to be honored and revered as the souls of departed loved ones returning on the wings of Monarch Butterflies, a belief still held by many Mexicans even today as they celebrate Dias de los Muertos on November 1st and 2nd every year, traditionally the day the 1st Monarchs return to the Mexican Monarch Sanctuaries, that happens to coincide with current Mexican Catholic religious traditions.

 

The Monarch Butterfly therefore is a metaphor for the scientific theory that a single occurrence, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant, can change the course of the universe forever.  One can also interpret the quote as the theory that everything matters.  If you change the smallest of life's details then you change its outcome.  Just as the tiny insect that we know as the Monarch Butterfly seems insignificant in the whole scheme of life, once we learn about its life, its perseverance, against everything that threatens its everyday survival, we come to love and respect an insect.  That love and respect makes us want to learn more about it and when we do, the connections that we make, will forever change the way that we view the world and those around us  and hopefully open our eyes to begin working towards a better world for the Monarchs, for us, our families, our Canadian and Mexican friends across our borders, Polar Bears in the Arctic suffering effects of global warming and a changing environment, and so many more global issues.

 

The flapping of a Monarch Butterfly's wings can bring change to the world, but we need to have an open eye  to first see the flapping of those wings and then we need to have an open mind, an open heart and be willing to give the time to want to learn and recognize the connections the Monarch has to North America and the Global Community.

If a butterfly can do all this, imagine what you can do.  :)

The truest love in the world is the love you have for yourself.  Nobody can ever take that away from you.

Find it.  Recognize it.  Embrace it.

All these things lead you on a path to joy.
In work, I often saw another woman in the morning.  We had to pick up our keys at the same time.  One day, she let me in on a little secret.  She had been diagnosed with breast cancer. I'm happy to say, she has been tested as cancer free.  But she had been going through a really hard time.  She actually thanked me for always having a smile on my face and being nice to her.  Just my being nice to her every day, helped her to get through another day. 

I often think about what it is I'm supposed to do here.  I don't feel like I've contributed anything worthwhile.   She really made me think. We don't give ourselves enough credit.  We are here on this Earth for each other.  I helped her just by saying good morning and giving her a big smile.  She helped me by telling me my small effort had made a big difference to her!

I recently had a wonderful chance to help out a new division where I work.  The problem was, I didn't know how to manipulate Excel.  This fantastic woman was there to help me.  Whenever I had a question, she was there with the answer and a smile, no matter how busy she was.  She gave me confidence I lacked.  She was amazing to work with.  She gave me a renewed faith in myself.  Just by being nice to me!!  I recently saw her on communicator, it's like Instant Messenger.  I told her what a difference she had made in my life and thanked her for what she had done and how much I treasure getting to know her and becoming friends.  She actually wrote back that she was speechless and felt the same.

When we are nice to others, we are a light of God/Universe/Spirit.  We help lead the way for folks in the dark or who are hurting in some way.  Let's be nice to each other and make an effort to show our appreciation for the people in our lives who light our way.  It will be one teeny tiny step in making our World a better place.  Lots of teeny tiny steps equal a giant leap!

I never understood the term, "give away your power."  I am starting to understand it and I'm taking it back!  I was really good at giving my power away. Here are some of the ways I gave it away and how took it back.

Believed my happiness was validated by having a significant other in my life.

Ignored those red flags and the little voice in my head or the knot in my stomach that said GET OUT OF THIS RELATIONSHIP and I stayed.

Blamed my significant other for my unhappiness. 

I stayed in relationships or even friendships when it caused me more pain, anger or sorrow than happiness.

Staying in a relationship much longer than I should.

Believing their excuses, over and over again.

Expecting/hoping a person to change for me, because of me or in a short time.

Allowing another person to dodge questions, because I didn't really want to know the truth.  Or worse, not asking the questions in the first place.

I blamed my "x" for my trust issues because of all rotten things that were done to me.

Wow, this is my second "blaming" I think I see a pattern here...... blaming people at work....blaming is a big power drain.

Hoping that rotten certain someone would come back into my life and wanting them back.

Showing my anger or losing my temper.

Doing something for someone and expecting something in return.

Not thinking I'm good enough, or smart enough, or capable enough, or whatever.

Playing the victim.

How I got it back.  First let me say, this has been a long road to recovery, I'm still on it and I'm learning every day. In my case, giving up my power is like an addiction, except the only life I was ruining was my own. 

Stopped making excuses for the significant other and for a long time, what I thought was a very good friend as well.  Once I stopped making excuses, the real issues were much easier to see.

Threw out my significant other.  It wasn't easy and I cried a LOT.

Let that friend go.

Started reading some really good books.  Abraham-Hicks, Louise Hay, Wayne Dyer, Mike Dooley, Deepak Chopra, to name a few.

Stopped playing the victim.

After a while, I stopped blaming.  My "x" didn't do anything to me that I didn't allow them to do.  You know the saying, "First time, shame on you.  Second time, shame on me." 

I am learning to hold my temper, even a cyclone is calm on the inside :)

I am learning "This too shall pass."  More than likely, what appears to be a train wreck right now, is the Universe's way of "derailing" me because I was on the wrong path or the path I was on was a path of stagnation and I needed a kick in the butt to get out of my comfort zone to start something new.  Which will of course be far better in the long run.

I am learning that some friends are in my life for a short time.  Some last longer.  We come and go, in and out, of each others' lives.  We come together for lessons or support and then we may grow apart.  Maybe even separate. 

I don't need a significant other in my life to feel validated.  I haven't had one on over 2 years.  I keep finding reasons to feel happy and feel love anyway :)

I now look back at many things and think about the lessons.  Lessons for me, lessons for them.  Regardless, lessons.  The only thing that matters is I am wiser.  When the Universe puts these obstacles in my path again, if I have learned my lessons, I'll just step over, step around or plow through them.  If I haven't learned the lesson, it will revisit me again and again until I learn.




Many times people ask me if they will ever have love in their lives again, or if they will get married again.  When I tell them yes, they might say they don't know how to meet new people or they are new to an area, or they don't know anyone outside of work or all their friends are married and the list of reasons why they don't think they will ever find someone gets longer every day!

Folks, there is a great place online, MEETUP.com.  You can find all kinds of activities.  It doesn't cost anything to join the website.  Just give them your email address, a password and in order to give you location specific activities, your zip code.  There are movie groups, eating groups, single groups, metaphysical groups, meditation groups, yoga groups, walking groups, exercising groups, ghost hunter groups, mom's groups, biker groups, pet groups and it goes on and on and on.  Most of them are FREE or charge a very small fee or a "love donation."  You could spend a week just going through the lists and lists of activities!  If you don't like the first one, try another! 

You might not find "the one" (and there is more than one) but you will find some fun things to do and some fun people to do them with!  Don't do this to find a love partner, do this to learn who you are and how to enjoy life again.  Having fun is when Mr. or Mrs. Right will stroll into your life.  Besides, you know the saying, "A watched pot never boils."  Stop watching the pot and go and have some fun!!!

I don't know about you, but all work and no play makes Lynda a depressed and cranky _itch!  You know, the word with a "B," not to be confused with my wonderful friends who admit to being Witches! :-D
I see so many times GREAT advisers with a 1 star rating now and then.  It's to be expected.  You just can't please all the people all the time. 

One of the problems with bad feedback is the people reading it only sees one side of the story. 

In the case of my current 1 star rating, this person introduced themselves with a very unique name which I have never heard before.  A name I would have remembered.  They asked a very vague question.  It was phrased, "Tell me about Chris."  (Names have been changed to protect the innocent.)   I told this person some very point blank information which they admitted to being true.  

One of my favorite cards in this deck of 78, is the Nine of Cups.  The "You Get Your Wish" card.  I have to admit, when this person asked me what their wish was, I was really shocked and a bit taken aback!  I am not a mind reader.  I am an intuitive card reader.  I have no idea what their wish is.  This is one reason advisers cannot tell a person what they want to hear.  We honestly don't know what that is! 

I love the term, "Feel free to block me."   I do and I did.  Under these circumstances, why would they want to call again and why would I want to answer?  The feedback is practically longer than the 4 minute phone call.  How much "Hit the nail on the head" info can a person expect in 4 minutes? 

I have been reading on Keen for six years.  I have great feedback from a lot of wonderful people.  Many have been calling for several years.  They can attest I am the ONLY person who answers my phone.  In fact I have a line that is dedicated to Keen and can only get INCOMING calls.  I live alone and if I'm not working, I'm available to help people. 

In all my years of giving readings, general questions give a general reading.  General questions provide answers Spirit/The Universe/God wants to provide or wants you to know.  It almost NEVER hits on the subject most dear to your heart. 

Please, save yourself some money and take a minute or two to formulate your questions and WRITE THEM DOWN.  Then take a few deep breaths and clear your mind.  Be open to what your reader/adviser has to say.  If you knew what was in store for you, you wouldn't be calling!  I love helping people and reading for them, but I don't want to waste your time and money!
I got this in an email today.  It can't hurt.  Use honey harvested in your area that has NOT been pasteurized.

Honey and Cinnamon

Honey is the only food on the planet that will not spoil or rot. It will do what some call "turning to sugar". In reality honey is always honey. However, when left in a cool dark place for a long time it will do what I rather call "crystallizing".

When this happens I loosen the lid, boil some water, and sit the honey container in the hot water, turn off the heat and let it liquefy. It is then as good as it ever was.

Never boil honey or put it in a microwave. To do so will kill the enzymes
in the honey.

Cinnamon and Honey. . . Bet the drug companies won't like this one getting around.~

Facts on Honey and Cinnamon:

It is found that a mixture of honey and Cinnamon cures most diseases. Honey is produced in most of the countries of the world. Scientists of today also accept honey as a 'Ram Ban' (very effective) medicine for all kinds of diseases.

Honey can be used without any side effects for many kinds of diseases.

Today's science says that even though honey is sweet, if taken in the right dosage as a medicine, it does not harm diabetic patients.

Weekly World News, a magazine in Canada, in its issue dated 17 January, 1995 has given the following list of diseases that can be cured by honey and cinnamon as researched by western scientists:

HEART DISEASES:
Make a paste of honey and cinnamon powder, apply on bread, instead of jelly and jam, and eat it regularly for breakfast. It reduces the cholesterol in the arteries and saves the patient from heart attack. Also, those who have already had an attack, if they do this process daily, they are kept miles away from the next attack. Regular use of the above process relieves loss of breath and strengthens the heart beat. In America and Canada , various nursing homes have treated patients successfully and have found that as you age, the arteries and veins lose their flexibility and get clogged; honey and cinnamon revitalize the arteries and veins.

ARTHRITIS:
Arthritis patients may take daily, morning and night, one cup of hot water with two spoons of honey and one small teaspoon of cinnamon powder. If taken regularly even chronic arthritis can be cured. In a recent research conducted at the Copenhagen University , it was found that when the doctors treated their patients with a mixture of one tablespoon Honey and half teaspoon Cinnamon powder before breakfast, they found that within a week, out of the 200 people so treated, practically 73 patients were totally relieved of pain, and within a month, mostly all the patients who could not walk or move around because of arthritis started walking without pain.

BLADDER INFECTIONS:
Take two tablespoons of cinnamon powder and one teaspoon of honey in a glass of lukewarm water and drink it. It destroys the germs in the bladder.

CHOLESTEROL:
Two tablespoons of honey and three teaspoons of Cinnamon Powder mixed in 16 ounces of tea water, given to a cholesterol patient, was found to reduce the level of cholesterol in the blood by 10 percent within two hours. As mentioned for arthritic patients, if taken three times a day, any chronic cholesterol is cured.  According to information received in the said Journal, pure honey taken with food daily relieves complaints of cholesterol.

COLDS:
Those suffering from common or severe colds should take one tablespoon lukewarm honey with 1/4 spoon cinnamon powder daily for three days. This process will cure most chronic cough, cold, and clear the sinuses.

UPSET STOMACH:
Honey taken with cinnamon powder cures stomach ache and also clears stomach ulcers from the root.

GAS:
According to the studies done in India and Japan , it is revealed that if Honey is taken with cinnamon powder the stomach is relieved of gas. 

IMMUNE SYSTEM:
Daily use of honey and cinnamon powder strengthens the immune system and protects the body from bacteria and viral attacks.  Scientists have found that honey has various vitamins and iron in large amounts. Constant use of Honey strengthens the white blood corpuscles to fight bacterial and viral diseases.

INDIGESTION:
Cinnamon powder sprinkled on two tablespoons of honey taken before food relieves acidity and digests the heaviest of meals.

INFLUENZA:
A scientist in Spain has proved that honey contains a natural 'Ingredient', which kills the influenza germs and saves the patient from flu.

LONGEVITY:
Tea made with honey and cinnamon powder, when taken regularly, arrests the ravages of old age. Take four spoons of honey, one spoon of cinnamon powder, and three cups of boiling water to make a tea. Drink 1/4 cup, three to four times a day. It keeps the skin fresh and soft and arrests old age. Life spans also increase and even a 100 year old, starts performing the chores of a 20-year-old.

PIMPLES:
Three tablespoons of honey and one teaspoon of cinnamon powder paste. Apply this paste on the pimples before sleeping and wash it next morning with warm water. If done daily for two weeks, it removes pimples from the root.

SKIN INFECTIONS:
Applying honey and cinnamon powder in equal parts on the affected parts cures eczema, ringworm and all types of skin infections.

WEIGHT LOSS:
Daily in the morning one half hour before breakfast on an empty stomach, and at night before sleeping, drink honey and cinnamon powder in one cup of boiled water. If taken regularly, it reduces the weight of even the most obese person.  Also, drinking this mixture regularly does not allow the fat to accumulate in the body even though the person may eat a high calorie diet.

CANCER:
Recent research in Japan and Australia has revealed that advanced cancer of the stomach and bones have been cured successfully. Patients suffering from these kinds of cancer should daily take one tablespoon of honey with one teaspoon of cinnamon powder for one month three times a day.

FATIGUE:
Recent studies have shown that the sugar content of honey is more helpful rather than being detrimental to the strength of the body.  Senior citizens, who take honey and cinnamon powder in equal parts, are more alert and flexible. Dr. Milton, who has done research, says that a half tablespoon of honey taken in a glass of water and sprinkled with cinnamon powder, taken daily after brushing teeth and in the afternoon at about 3:00 P.M. when the vitality of the body starts to decrease, increases the vitality of the body within a week.

BAD BREATH:
People of South America , first thing in the morning, gargle with one teaspoon of honey and cinnamon powder mixed in hot water, so their breath stays fresh throughout the day.

HEARING LOSS:
Daily morning and night honey and cinnamon powder, taken in equal parts restores hearing.

Remember when we were kids? We had toast with real butter and cinnamon sprinkled on it!

Here's to staying or getting healthy!

I'm going through a growth period in my life.  Maybe this can help a lot of people, including me!

10 Ways To Choose The Right Man For You
by freedating datingsitecash

1. Choosing the obvious ones to avoid: addicts, child abusers, chronic gamblers, felons, “boys”, etc. If you always fall in love with the wrong type of men, you should get help. Please seek it. You need to fall in love with the right person


2. Going by sexual attraction alone. That’s a choice your reptilian brain is making which is to say not a choice at all. “Choosing” means weighing alternatives and being rational. Never in life do you want your reptilian brain in charge. It doesn’t “think.”

3. Choosing based on external qualities alone. It’s nice if he’s a hot hunk, but not if he's just another pretty face. Are you choosing a 37' powerboat instead of a man who owns one? His face will change. His toys may disappear. It's "for better or for worse," not "for as long as he can buy me Gucci handbags.” Seek TRUE love!

4. Rushing. Date him long enough to go through actual situations that test what you can't see and touch -- his values, priorities, manners, morals, and interests.

At first you’ll go to hockey games, WWF matches and beer drinking just to be with him, right? Do you really see yourself doing these things every weekend for the rest of your life?

On the same point, is he being nice to your kids just to get to you? Is he willing to go shopping with you and to the museums? Only time will tell.

5. Rushing. Give it time so he can sort out his feelings. Men tend to go from desire to action without thinking .This is why we see them make such poor choices in women, and then do the same thing again. You may be sure, but is he? Follow your heart AND your brain.

6. Rushing. You need time because even a workaholic will give you attention 24/7 at first. Only 6 months down the line will you discover that once he’s “got you,” and knows you love him, so he neglects you. Work comes first, then his golf. He’ll call you when it’s your turn.

7. Not checking out his attitude toward women.

How does he treat his mother? Your friends? His sister?

8. Trusting only your intellect. This means gathering facts, reading experts, not checking in with your intuition, and listening to advice blindly without looking into your heart as well.

Let’s say your best friend, who’s very perceptive, tells you he’s a womanizer. I’d give that some weight, but I’d check it out myself. It won't be hard. Give it time, stay awake and you’ll see.

Another example – You made the list of what you wanted. There he is in front of you, lacking 3 of the 6 items on your list, but you adore him. You really click. That’s a good time to go back and rethink your list. You’re always entitled to change your mind.

9. Trusting only your feelings. Come now, do you really think you can make a life with someone who is (admittedly) darling and sexy BUT hates your religion, has different morals and ethics than you do, has already alienated your father, wants kids while you don’t, refuses to “let” you work, and has already ordered you to get rid of your cat? This is like allowing yourself to fall in love with a married man. Just go stick an ice pick in your eyeball instead.

10. Misunderstanding the nature of feelings. Our emotions give us information. They don’t demand behavior. When I was a teenager I was dating a creep. My father told me I had to quit seeing him. “But I love him,” I said. Said he: “Love someone else.” No, you can’t manufacture feelings, but neither do they have to be acted upon. They can be taken “under advisement” and thought through.

A friend of mine just emailed these to me.  I don't know the true origins, but I like it:

Written By Regina Brett, 90 years old, of The Plain DealerCleveland ,  Ohio
 
"To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me. It is the most-requested column I've ever written. My odometer rolled over to 90 in August, so here is the column once more:"
 
1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.
2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.
3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
4. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and parents will. Stay in touch.
5. Pay off your credit cards every month.
6. You don't have to win every argument.  Agree to disagree.
7. Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone.
8. It's OK to get angry with God. He can take it.
9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.
10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.
11. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present.
12. It's OK to let your children see you cry.
13. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in it.
15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don't worry; God never blinks.
16. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.
17. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.
18. Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger.
19. It's never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up to you and no one else.
20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an answer.
21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special.
22. Over prepare, then go with the flow.
23. Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple.
24. No one is in charge of your happiness but you.
25. Frame every so-called disaster with these words ''In five years, will this matter?".
26. Always choose life.
27. Forgive everyone everything.
28. What other people think of you is none of your business.
29. Time heals almost everything. Give time, time.
30. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
31. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
32. Believe in miracles.
33. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn't do.
34. Don't audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.
35. Growing old beats the alternative -- dying young.
36. Your children get only one childhood.
37. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.
38. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.
39. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we'd
grab ours back.
40. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
41. The best is yet to come.
42. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
43. Yield.
44. Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift.
Timing is always difficult to determine.  The Universe does not have a linear concept of time as we physical beings do.   
 
If something doesn't happen in the time frame given, people have a tendency to think the Reader is wrong, or that the object of their desire will not manifest.  Most readers, as well as myself, will tell you they can't see everything.  They are not 100%.  Particularly in time frames.  Please don't let a missed time frame change our faith in our Reader. 
 
Once a reader tells us a time frame, it is up to us how we wish to spend our time until our wanting becomes reality.  Waiting is not really the option I like to think about.  ALLOWING the best of what the Universe has to offer to flow to us is a much better thought. 
 
I also don't like the word patience.  It reminds me of being passive, being stuck and doing nothing.  I think FAITH is a better word.  It is something you have to DO.  You have to picture it in your mind, pretend it already happened, feel the feelings of what it is like to already HAVE what you want!  It's not passive.  Just remember, the destination is not as usually as good of the journey.  Find a way to make the journey to what you want as wonderful as possible. 
Happy New Year! 
 
As we are making our New Year's Resolutions today, make a resolution to change your internal chatter.  I mean the way you talk to yourself.  Instead of telling yourself how bad things are or are going to be, change that story!!
 
Our minds actually don't understand the difference between reality and PERCEIVED reality.  So, what we believe or what we tell ourselves definitely makes a difference in how our body feels and reacts.  In many cases, we can talk ourselves into or OUT of anxiety, stress, fear and depression. 
 
Instead of saying, "I'm alone, I'm lonely, I'll never find my soul mate, I'll never be happy," say, "The person of my dreams is on their way!  They are happy, intelligent, emotionally and financially stable, etc.  Universe, I'm putting in my order for my perfect match.  I know the Universe is working on sending me my perfect mate, it's only a matter of time! The Universe wants me to have the person of my dreams.  Before I know it, I will meet my perfect match!"  This is YOUR life and YOUR story.  Make the story you tell yourself a good one!  Just tell yourself a story that draws positive things to you and makes you feel good!!!  (That is the trick, you need to make yourself feel good!)
 
You can do this in every aspect of your life!!  The trick is to feel good!  Get yourself in a good mood, feel good and then focus on what you want in your life!!!  You can't attract love when you feel lonely and you can't gain wealth when you feel poor!
 
Doing this on a regular basis, will not only help you to feel better, but will also help to transmit better "vibrations" into the Universe.  Whatever you are saying, say it so you FEEL better!  Feeling better is the entire point of this.  When you feel better, things ARE better.  As "Abraham" of Abraham-Hicks says, "The better it gets, the better it gets!" 
 
If you would like to learn more about how to feel better in order to attract the things you want into your life, I highly recommend, "Money and the Law of Attraction," or practically anything by Abrahams-Hicks, it's wonderful stuff!!!  This CD/book talks about health, love, money and more!!! 
A very good friend of mine is a single mom.  The first time the baby went to see the father and his family a list went too!  On top of the list was, "Celebrate Poop!"  She didn't want anyone to give the baby the idea that a perfectly normal bodily function was offensive in any way.  She wanted her little girl growing up not being ashamed of something everyone does! 
 
That just made me think.  How many times in our lives do we allow society's stupid beliefs or let expectations created by story books and fantasy get in our way of our happiness?   When this happens, take a moment to recognize what is causing the unhappiness.  If it is caused by a belief you could better live without, Celebrate Poop!!  Celebrate that you have recognized it and move past it!  (This is easier said than done, but it's a beginning!)  Taking notice of what is causing our uneasiness and putting a name or label on it is the first step to knowing what does make us happy! 
I have just posted a schedule.  On the days the schedule is on "ALERT" if you call and I am not available at that time, please feel free to get in the "queue."  This will allow me to take your call as soon as possible.
