Self-Love: the way to everything

Self-Love, real unconditional love for yourself and the pure spirit within you is the key to everything you ever wanted.  My Dad used to say you can’t love anyone else until you love yourself.

Everett and I have a great love story as we followed the law of attraction to find each other and then intentionally using life mapping to envision our relationship and manifest our life together as a couple.  But it all started with us being willing to do our inner work.  Doing your inner work is the undoing of the thoughts and mindsets that hold you back.  Then, allowing those thoughts and beliefs evolve into ones that support you changing your life experience, little by little.  This is how you begin attracting all that you desire.

It is so about self-awareness and then healing what is in your way. Your inner work is about connecting to your inner self and finding the pure love that your inner self has for you.  I can tell you from experience that when you start to feel that pure unconditional love for yourself you will be overwhelmed in the best way possible.

As for love… once you love yourself and are happy with who you are, your vibration will rise and you will be able to attract that person who has been getting ready for you all this time.  Before that you are only attracting those people into your life that are attracted to your wounds and are there to help you decide to do your inner work, love yourself and move powerfully towards your own happiness.  No other person will complete you.  You are already complete.  Heal the thing that hurts and become your true and amazing self.   Then instead of attracting someone who is broken you will attract that person who is healed.   I was broken.  I healed my spirit and my heart and I found a deep love of myself.  Then as I lived in my happiness and practiced these technologies, I listened and obeyed that quiet whisper one night and met the man of my dreams –  a man perfectly compatible with who I had become.  You can do the same.  You have already started on your beautiful journey to wholeness, health and happiness.

Moving with spirit in a physical world 

Every day connect to spirit.  Let spirit move through you and envelop you with pure love.  Be still and be quiet and enjoy that good feeling, so good it’s almost overwhelming, that feeling of pure unconditional love from the Universe, Source, God, He who goes by so many names.  Do this for a period of time.  Even if, it is just 5 minutes. Then listen for what that love inspires you to think and do.  Do that thing before the day is done.

 

This you can do anytime, anywhere no matter your situation.  And the more you do it the happier you will become.  The more open you will be to receive what you have asked for; and the more at peace you will be.

You don’t need a class, a book or anything to do this.  You don’t need to quit your job or move to a new town to find this or to make a difference.  You just need to stop doing what you always do for 5 minutes a day and be still, stop thinking and feel the love that is available to you.

Then you will make a difference for yourself and those around you will see your light and be inspired to shift or change because you are so full of love.  And that is enough.

What are you grateful for in 2018?

What are you grateful for in 2018? 

This year has been incredible.  It has been intense and like many of you, I looked at what was happening in the world and to those around me and I kept myself on the grind in fulfilling my purpose and goals in 2018.  I have felt weary and it took all of my skill to keep my energy moving.  I have joyfully served my clients and the students in the programs that I teach.  I am so grateful for each breath, each adventure, family and friends, and all the small and large moments of joy – and there were a lot of them.

My clients became more confident.  They earned more revenue and raised more money than ever before.  They built more powerful teams, organizations and strategies in a complex fast changing world.  I am grateful to impact a few that impact thousands with their mission, vision, products and services.  Despite all the challenging circumstances, divisive politics, crazy behavior of a few, I got to witness personal transformation and amazing people do amazing things making their corner of the world a better place.  It’s been exciting.  I am grateful to have dug a little deeper and move more often in spirit.  I am grateful to release of the need for struggle and watched how that releasing made every day successful.  I look forward to more clarity, more focus, and more fun as each day passes.

If you haven’t had a high flying year, if you are having trouble being thankful or pulling yourself up out of a place of struggle and challenge, what can you do?  Here a few ideas….

  1. Take a deep breath and feel your feet on the ground, wiggle your toes and say thank you for the ability to do so.
  2. Feel yourself inside your body – if you can hear your heart beating, start there.
  3. Enjoy being a physical being for a moment, and say thank you for the physicality of being alive.
  4. Then clear your mind of all thoughts for 90 seconds (if you have trouble, pay attention to your breath or your heart beating).
  5. Say thank you for the first thing that comes to mind and allow your mind to remember small encounters or pleasant things that come to mind, i.e. someone who smiled at you in the grocery store, the joke on FB that made you laugh, someone who sent you a fun emoji, the phone call, your breath, your heart beating, etc.
  6. Allow the emotion of gratitude grow in your heart and mind.
  7. When you are moved by this feeling start a list things you are grateful and thankful.

I am thankful for the day that was.  Each night as I close my eyes to sleep and when I wake up, I take a moment to give gratitude for waking up, being well, and all that I anticipate being good for the day.  This practice allows my gratitude to move to joy and create positive momentum for my day.  This is a great way to move yourself out of a funk and stay positive all day long no matter what comes your way.  And when you get into a habit of gratitude, the law of attraction brings you even more things to be grateful for as you attract what you pay attention to.

Try it for the next 10 days as we move through the Holiday season. Then watch what happens and share it by posting a comment on our Facebook page or it you are a member, post in the forum.

Planning for Your Third Act – The New Retirement

Your Third Act

Retirement is often a scary prospect.  But in 2018, we are not planning your great grandmother’s retirement.  This generation of elders are more vibrant and active than their predecessors.  They have a lot to offer and are still dreaming of the contribution they want to make to the world after traditional retirement age of 65.  It has become a time for babyboomer and some who retire before 65 to follow their passion, to reinvent themselves and their lives in a manner that is more suited to who they really are and have become.

 

I want to suggest that you begin thinking and envisioning your third act.  What do you want to do, how do you want to live, what contribution do you want to make as you shift to your focus and work life to what we have traditionally called ‘retirement’ or what I have starting to referring to the ‘3rd Act’.

 

What does success look like as you age?  What is your ideal lifestyle now?  What contribution do you want to make as an elder in the community?  These are the questions I have been supporting my clients over 50 to address as their energy and focus shifts to elderhood.  What the research shows is that elders who have a vision, a purpose and clear goals that motivate them to stay active and engaged live longer more vibrant lives after retirement.  To figure out what your third act looks like, RSVP for my next webinar Wed, August 22, 2018 at 8 pm EST– Planning for Your Third Act.

 

 

Summer Solstice June 21, 2018

Summer is a glorious time of year.  And the Summer Solstice is magical.  On the physical plane, it is a time when in the northern hemisphere, the day is the longest and in the southern hemisphere the day is the shortest as the earth rotates around the sun and the sun shifts its position on the earth.  In many northern places that are closer to the north poles, this is the night where the sun does not set. This brings about the phrase, the long days of summer.  The Solstice is the time where the sun begins to shift and the days start becoming shorter leading us towards to the winter solstice in December.  It is also usually the time where farmers have planted their crops and are waiting for plants to grow and yield fruit.

On the spiritual front, the Summer Solstice has been a time throughout the ages where people have celebrated the life giving forces of the sun and all the ways it creates abundance, light, and energy for our planet and its inhabitants.

As you think about the summer solstice and what you are manifesting in your life, it is a perfect time to give thanks for all of the blessings and discern what is needed now for you to manifest the life style you desire.  Even the farmer, tends to his/her fields during summer to nurture them along, make sure that they have enough water and shade if needed to grow and prosper.  It is also a time of waiting because nature can’t be rushed.  Despite our technological advances, plants grow on their own pace and being in the timing of the earth/sun’s cycles are critical to a good harvest.  Being in the timing that the Universe has for us is also critical to our ability to manifest our goals. So the Summer Solstice reminds us of both the need to act, nurture ourselves and the things we are doing to manifest our deepest desires and also the need to “be” and allow for the divine timing of the Universe to support us in manifesting a good harvest when its time.

So I invite you to celebrate the solstice with me on my Summer Solstice Life Mapping session and explore how you are doing and being in your efforts to create or manifest the things that you want in life.
