Happy Thanksgiving!

My friends!

We have reached that time of year that Geoff likes to call the Holiday Slide! It begins with Halloween and before you know it the new year is picking up steam! I love this time of year!

Over the many years that I’ve enjoyed the privilege of working with you, a common theme keeps coming up. I don’t know if I’m attracting this because of the energy around me, or if it’s just human nature. May I be so bold as to say, this year we need to make a change, and the change begins with us.

Brigham YoungA very wise man who lead a church across the prairies of the US and re-established it in the wilderness of Utah in the mid 1800’s said, “He who takes offense when no offense is intended is a fool, and he who takes offense when offense is intended is a greater fool.” That man was Brigham Young. Do you know of a time when a family member offended you? Were they really trying to offend you? Sometimes family members can be real stinkers and will lash out because they are hurting. It takes a lot of fortitude to be able to set one’s own feelings aside and not be offended when someone you care about displays a little tantrum. In a society that teaches people to think only of themselves, and be ultra critical of others, maybe some people are just holding on by a thread, trying to survive another day. Believe me, it’s so much more pleasant to endure day to day when there’s not emotional scars looming over.

It is my hope that we can celebrate Thanksgiving this year with a heart full of gratitude. List all that you’re grateful for. List all of your blessings. Then I want you to list your mistakes and how they’ve become blessings to help you not repeat those mistakes. Also list your trials and look at those trials with new, open eyes, and see how they have been blessings in disguise.

One trial I thought I had was that we didn’t make enough money. I fretted about it for many years. Then one day I realized that we have never gone without the basics… food, shelter, warmth, water, safety. We have always been cared for. Now I’m grateful for that trial so I can feel security knowing we are always taken care of. It has been so helpful during years when there were employment issues hovering around us.

Geoff at Skyworks cafeI hope with all my heart that you will feel the heartfelt gratitude that comes when you realize all the blessings you’ve been given and continue to receive. This year I am so grateful we have made it to retirement! It’s been wonderful having my precious husband with me all day every day. We have had such fun together just being together. It’s been fun sharing the household chores and watching the old TV shows together. We go to the gym and shopping together. What a blessing he is to me!

 

Happy Thanksgiving!

Be Excited!

Have you ever noticed…

how when you’re excited about things, life just flows better? Happy, joyful thoughts, or anticipation for something wonderful just places us in a good vibration. When you’re in that good vibration, you begin attracting more wonder and excitement to you. people-splashingA good example of this is Christmas time. As children we anticipate those glorious gifts we hoped for… as we excitedly anticipated those gifts, everyone around us joined in with their energy of joyful anticipation. People are generally happy. Some people call this the Christmas spirit. Or maybe it’s a football game… how exciting a football game is to attend. There’s a certain feel being with others attending a game, especially the first game of the season. The anticipation and excitement. These are examples of high vibrations in energy. 

What if things are not going well…

Did you know that you have the ability to change things if they are not going well? Not only do you have the ability, but it is your duty. You are expected to create your own life. That has always been the plan. This is what I teach to my clients.

How do we change something that is not going well?

Shifting the energy can be as easy as shifting your mind set. Finding something that is exciting and stimulating to your mind is a start. This may be new furniture, or a hobby. When you find yourself worrying, doubting or struggling in any way, you are sending out the message that this is what you want more of. Well, I doubt anyone would want more of struggling! Instead, set down the troubling thoughts and magnetinstead think of that new furniture or hobby. See yourself shopping for it or embraced in it. Laugh and allow the excitement to grow. As you do this, and prevent yourself from going to the worry room in your head, you will open up the flow of positive abundance into your life.

Allow the abundance to flow… resist the need to dictate how it should be. Just be excited for the adventure!people-magnet

 

If this is difficult, maybe it’s time for a session. Let’s get you back to creating your amazingly wonderful life!

Summertime is the traditional time for vacations!

The weather is great! Kids are out of school! People naturally flock to the beach, resorts or other recreational or scenic places. Family reunions or family vacations are abundant!

We remember the Griswolds, right!?! Hopefully we won’t have memories like that!

I had originally planned, for this very reason to have the Group Energy Call to be on Family Relationships. However, MY family is coming into town, so I want to spend all the time I can with them. I am canceling the group call for July. I’m sorry for any inconvenience or disappointment this may cause. It is my hope that you can enjoy your family, or dear friends and you can spend some great R&R time, too.

Here’s some shots I took this morning of the happenings at the beach.prep for US Open

 

Huntington Beach is gearing up for the US Open Surfing Championships. Every year this is a HUGE event. The city transforms the beach into an amazing shopping area. The crowds are unbelievable!

Have a great July, and I’ll be talking with you again in August!!! Surf’s UP!!!
