An E-Mail I received from Neil Donald Walsh (Confersations with God)

Dear Wendy,

There is something remarkable happening in our world right now—and some people are calling it a “financial meltdown.” What I am seeing is something quite different, and I wonder if you’re seeing the same thing…

I am seeing a re-arranging of our life priorities—and I am seeing that rearranging as something that is happening for the better. Let me tell you about a man I ran into just the other day, may I?

We were talking about the money crunch right now and how his family was doing some belt-tightening. “We’re not eating out these days, we’re not going to the movies or over to the bowling alley. Our family is looking for more things that we can do together at home. We’re getting the board games out again—and that has been a source of real fun.”

Wow. Family members are discovering each other again. I thought, that is just so great.

I don’t think any of this is by “accident.” I think that our society, worldwide, is deciding something new about itself. I think we are deciding that it’s not about all the “stuff.” It’s not about the cars and the houses and the clothes and the trinkets. It’s about each other.

…and it’s about the journey of the soul and our relationship to Life Itself (in my personal vocabulary, I call that I believe we’ve come here to be with each other, and to be with each other in a particular way for a particular reason.

I think we’ve come here to inspire each other and remind each other of the greatest truths and of what’s truly so, of who we really are and who we are capable of becoming.

There are a lot of ways we can do this, and in our own homes. We can do it by being present with each other—really present with another’s experience, feelings, hopes, and dreams. And their fears, too. And we can share with them all about our own. We can also share humanity’s story, in a way that uplifts and inspires.

I am seeing the same thing and love this letter. I think we need to focus on the positive. I choose to look at a situation and ask, what can I learned from this.

It's true that this Chrismas we had less money to spend, but it was by far the best. We were all together and we had lots of love. We sang, and snuggled and played games. Yes, I choose to look at this "Crisis" as a blessing from God.

What do you think?

No Santa? Author Unknown

I remember tearing across town on my bike to visit my Grandma on the day my big sister dropped the bomb: "There is no Santa Claus," she jeered. "Even dummies know that!"

My Grandma was not the gushy kind, never had been. I fled to her that day because I knew she would be straight with me. I knew Grandma always told the truth, and I knew that the truth always went down a whole lot easier when swallowed with one of her world-famous cinnamon buns. Grandma was home, and the buns were still warm. Between bites, I told her everything.

She was ready for me. "No Santa Claus!" she snorted. "Ridiculous! Don't believe it. That rumor has been going around for years, and it makes me mad, plain mad. Now, put on your coat, and let's go" "Go? Go where, Grandma?" I asked.

"Where" turned out to be Kerby's General Store, the one store in town that had a little bit of just about everything. As we walked through it doors, Grandma handed me twenty dollars. That was a bundle in those days "Take this money and buy something for someone who needs it. I'll wait for you in the car." Then she turned and walked out of Kerby's.

I was only eight years old. I'd often gone shopping with my mother, but never had I shopped for anything all by myself. The store seemed big and crowded, full of people scrambling to finish their Christmas shopping. For a few moments I just stood there, wondering what to buy, and who on earth to buy it for. Suddenly I thought of Bobbie Decker. He sat right behind me in Mrs. Pollock's grade-two class. Bobbie Decker didn't have a coat. I knew that because he never went out for recess during the winter. I fingered the twenty-dollar bill with growing excitement. I would buy Bobbie Decker a coat. I settled on a red corduroy one that had a hood to it. It looked real warm, and he would like that.

That evening, Grandma helped me wrap the coat in Christmas paper and ribbons, and write, "To Bobbie, From Santa Claus" on it - Grandma said that Santa always insisted on secrecy. Then she drove me over to Bobbie Decker's house, explaining as we went that I was now and forever officially one of Santa's helpers. Grandma parked down the street from Bobbie's house, and she and I crept noiselessly and hid in the bushes by his front walk. Then Grandma gave me a nudge. "All right, Santa Claus," she whispered, "get going." I took a deep breath, dashed for his front door, threw the present down on his step, pounded his doorbell and flew back to the safety of the bushes and Grandma. From there we watched Bobbie come to the door and pick up his present from "Santa."

Forty years haven't dimmed the thrill of those moments spent shivering, beside my grandma, in Bobbie Decker's bushes. That night, I realized that those awful rumors about Santa Claus were just what Grandma said they were: ridiculous. Santa was alive and well, and we were on his team."

I still have the Bible, with the coat tag tucked inside: $19.95.

Abraham-Hicks

If all of you, when you went home today, found your homes had blown away, you would be happier in the days and weeks and months to follow than if you went home and everything was normal -- because it causes more focus of desire. There is all this fresh stuff pouring through you. It's like opening spaces to new allowance. If every remnant of success was gone from you -- still you stand as the culmination of all that you've learned. And we don't mean learned in the sense that now you know how to do it again. We mean you have been the creation that has been in the process of being created, and here you stand as this clearer, more focused wanter and allower than you've ever been before. Which means, you can take your next breath of desire and step into your next place of allowing, and all that you ever had, and ten times more, can be in your experience immediately -- when you accept that you are the asker and the receiver, and the letter-in of all of that.

I love this quote for Abraham - Hicks

"There is nothing that you're wanting to know that you do not have the capacity to understand fully. And there is nothing that you're wanting to know that the Universe does not already know that you want to know, and has already begun the process of answering. And so, go forth in excited anticipation that the new ideas will continue to bubble forth, and that the Universal Forces will continue to come forth in loving, benevolent, eternal answering to that which you are about. There is great love here for you. We are complete."

Hugs are Good For You!

Hugs are good for you!

I'm a hugger!

Nothing in the world feels like a hug. When you don't know what to say, give a hug. Not only do hugs feel really, really good, but they are needed. I believe a hug is worth a thousand words.

Abraham - Hicks

"Tell everyone you know: "My happiness depends on me, so you're off the hook." And then demonstrate it. Be happy, no matter what they're doing. Practice feeling good, no matter what. And before you know it, you will not give anyone else responsibility for the way you feel—and then, you'll love them all. Because the only reason you don't love them, is because you're using them as your excuse to not feel good. "

Abraham- Hicks Quote

When your heart is singing, you are allowing Well-being. When you are appreciating, you are allowing Well-being. When you are yelling at somebody, you're not. When you're feeling insecure, you're not. When you're frustrated, you're not.

A quote from Abraham-Hicks.

Make a decision and then make the decision right. Line up your Energy with it. In most cases it doesn't really matter what you decide. Just decide. There are endless options that would serve you enormously well, and all or any one of them is better than no decision.

Before you sign up...

Before you sign up...

Where I live we have a 1 mile bike path. So I walked today doing my self talk. No one was around so I could say it out loud and with emotions. Wow! It felt so good!

I just came back from my walk with the universe and I feel so blessed and calm. I find myself wanting to cry but I’m not sure why. I feel so happy and blessed and calm. I had a million thoughts coming out of me from where I do not know. I am hoping I can get it down on paper before I forget.

...

These are things that came to me while I walked…I am so lucky that I have the secret formula of life. It is really just about breathing in the fresh air, noticing the life and beauty around me. It is about following my life path even if I don’t really know what that is. Doesn’t matter. I know what feels good. I follow what feels good and trust that the universe will lead me to my destination. I get to leave the hard stuff to the universe and trust that I will be guided.

...

I am realizing that while I am walking and listening that there are millions of people who are full of worry and fear. They are working hard on life. They are stressing to pay the bills. When I think of them I can feel their hardship and struggle. Don’t they know there is another way to live? I can picture these people and even through the crowd I can spot my own face. I want to run up to ME and shake myself and say “Stop being so darn hardheaded”. So I remind Wendy whose face I see in the crowd of millions, that it is not her job to worry. It is her job to Live!

...

Now, I know this sounds really confusing but this is what I was seeing as I meditated and walked with God today. Maybe you can help me figure it out.

...

I think it means that I am starting to get it. When I meditate, do my self talk and clear my head of all negative, I feel so alive and at pease and blessed. I feel like a “walking talking vessel of faith”.

...

But there are times when old habits creep back in and I find myself in worry again. And I loose my confidence and I don’t feel good.

...

So here is the lesson or gift that I received today.

...

“Wendy you will always know when you are on track. Because you will feel good and happy and blessed. You will also know when you are off track because you will feel bad, angry, sad, and negative. So when you realize that you don’t feel good, STOP and go walk your path….. or find a quiet place and do your self talk.”

...

It really is quite simple.

Are your Dreams being stolen right from under your nose?

My best advise for anyone who want network marketing success and are just starting out…

It is so important when making a decision like starting a business that you don’t go and tell everyone what you are doing. The reason is, most well intentioned people will want to give you advice, because they care about you and love you. But because they have never owned a business before, it will not be sound advice and will possibly be negative. These well intentioned family members and friends will blow your confidence and cause you to second guess yourself.

When you make a sound decision, only discuss it with your mastermind group. To me a mastermind group is a group of people who make me feel safe, who will not criticize, and will give honest feedback and push me in the direction of my dreams. These people will also hold me accountable to myself. These are the people I want to surround myself with.

I am so blessed to be a part of a wonderful mastermind group with Mentoring for Free. It is so important to surround yourself with like minded people and not be the “Lone Ranger”. Work together with your mastermind group and work on bringing your goal to a reality.

For me, I need to remind myself when working with my mentor or members of my mastermind is important to share my ideas and give of myself because there may be someone who needs to hear what I have to say. But it is also important to listen to the wisdom of those who have what I want.

I appreciate you!

Our Deepest Fear

“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 wont 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. Its not just in some of us; its 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.”

~Nelson Mandela Inaugural Speech, 1994

Think and Grow Rich- My thoughts on Chapter 6- Imagination

Thoughts create things. This makes sense to me.

I need to get clear on what I want. I need to not only know what I want, but visualize myself as already receiving. I need to feel the vibrations. I need to experience it as if I have already received it. How do I feel, what do I see, what have I become. Can I feel it? See it? Taste it?

But first I need to release my resistant thoughts. If thought become things, then I need to know with every cell of my body what I want and have blind faith that my thought are like a wand.

This sounds very simple but my mind doesn’t seem to want to cooperate. I am realizing that I am letting fear hold me back. Negative thought creeps into my day. This is the hardest thing for me. I must overcome this. I know this is probably the most important step in my growth. I remind myself every day that Jesus said “Ask and it is given”. He didn’t say….Ask and it is given if you deserve it.

Am I letting my self worth and past hold me back from success?

In this chapter it said “God seems to throw himself on the side of the person who knows exactly what he wants.” This to me is really blind faith. It is the difference between hoping and expecting.

I need to know what I want. I need to write it down. I need to visualize it everyday as if I have already received. Play it back again and again in my mind almost like a movie. Through visualization, daily meditation and self talk I believe can release my resistant thoughts and create my wants.

If, “The only limitation is that which one sets up in one’s mind”. Then I need to get clear on what I want and change my thoughts.
