Shine your light in the world...

I begin each morning listening to a selection of Abraham’s “Getting Into The Vortex” meditation. It puts me in a place of peace and helps me create a mindset for the day of expectance, allowing, and receiving inspired action.

As much as I try to clear my mind for this brief 15 minute period, often thoughts or visions enter in… This morning, the idea of sharing my light and love in the world was vivid. I imagined myself lighting a candle, as I touched the heart of someone in some small way, they too lit a candle, and with the ripple effect, it wasn’t long before a massive amount of light was being emitted by thousands of candles…

I then thought of Marianne Williamson’s most profound quote from her book “A Return to Love” that begins, “Our Deepest Fear is not that we are inadequate…” ( (I encourage you to look it up, print it off and hang it on your fridge or cork board where you can read it often) This part of the quote spoke to me this morning… “And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same…”
Today, I encourage you to shine and share your light, your gifts, your love…Let the ripple effect begin…

“Let your light shine. Be a source of strength and courage. Share your wisdom. Radiate love.” Wilferd Peterson

Power Of Gratitude

I remember when I experienced for the first time (years ago) just how powerful the feeling of gratitude is… I was driving at the time, and something wonderful had just happened, and I was feeling on top of the world! I kept saying “thank you” over and over to myself, and I began to feel this wave of energy ripple through my body, continuously. I had felt this same energy sensation not long before, when I began to explore meditation. I felt so connected in that moment to something so much larger than myself…
We have heard many times over, just how important gratitude is, but often we neglect to think or speak it aloud. Why is that? There really is no excuse! We can’t use the “busy” word for everything!

I just listened to an interview with Bob Doyle, via “The Masters Gathering”. I love listening to Bob's wisdom! One of the things he shared is that feeling gratitude is one of the most powerful techniques for attracting what you want in your life. It puts you in a direct path of alignment with “receiving”. When you say “thank you” to the universe, you are saying, “ I have…I have…and I love what I have—and it feels great, and the universe naturally mirrors that and returns to you more things that you love and will feel grateful for! How simple a step is that to direct you on a path to achieving your goals and desires?

Gratitude is so easy to incorporate daily—I consider gratitude part of my daily morning reflection and prayer, and I continue to find things I am grateful for throughout my day. Things like--great driving conditions when I have to be on the road, green lights, a beautiful view, my wonderful business partners and customers,my supportive friends, etc., and as if by magic, the day just seems to flow perfectly! What if we could all add daily gratitude to our new positive habits?

There is an incredible little E-book that I recently stumbled across. It is called “The Astonishing Power Of Gratitude” and you can download it for free. It is only 18 pages, so you can read it right now! It is written by Wes Hopper, and you can find it at DailyGratitude.com Enjoy!

I found this statement online: “When gratitude is practiced as a regular and meaningful expression—where thought, emotion and intention are involved—it has the potential to change life positively and dramatically.” How cool is that?!

Making A Difference...

I think deep down, most of us have a desire to make a difference, inspire others, impact lives in a positive way—I know I do, and I believe I am in the process of doing just that… but how do we get from that thought—that desire, to actually beginning something?
Everything that you manifest and create begins with a thought, a passion-filled idea or desire that stirs that excitement—fills you with energy and gives you butterflies in your stomach! This inevitably then draws you to something that will help you take the next step. It could be a conversation with a friend, who encourages you/and helps generate some ideas opening the door to possibility. It could be a book that someone recommends to you that peaks your curiosity and draws you in. It could be an invitation to an event. When these serendipitous events occur, run with them! Start asking yourself questions that you want answers to! Then take some time to be still—it is during these times that our answers flood in and our greatest ideas and inspiration are generated. If you are stressed and being pulled in 100 directions, you will not hear the answers.
For myself, after making a conscious choice to reflect more, and be “still” more, answers began to show up—many in the form of books. One of my most favourite books, that really expanded my thinking was, “The Celestine Prophecy”. This then led me to a wonderful stream of books, each impacting me in a wonderful way!
In order to make a difference in this world, you have to stretch, grow, and expand yourself. You have to push yourself through things that may feel a little fearful, but guess what? You have been tricked into thinking that those butterflies in your stomach are because of fear, and if you let it, it will stop you in your tracks. What if you re-wired your thinking and recognized that the butterflies are simply there because of excitement, anticipation and expectation that something great is on the way! Move through it because something really wonderful is on the other side…
We have all been blessed with various talents and gifts that can serve the masses. We need only, recognize and build these strengths, and blend it with what we are passionate about—then go out there and share it with the world…

Inspiration: You are an infinite being with limitless capabilities!

What is my purpose and how do I create more joy in my life?

Have you ever asked yourself either, or both of these questions? Have you ever felt lonely, yet you were surrounded by wonderful people in your life?
My journey to self-discovery began in my mid-thirties, with the asking of these questions. I had so much to be grateful for—a good husband and two beautiful healthy children. Yet, I kept feeling this constant nagging of wanting and needing “something more” in my life. My life felt chaotic, and busy, and I felt like I was always in a hurry, yet I was working only part time. I wanted my husband to “change”, to be more like I wanted him to be; to mold into the type of person that I felt he should be—that would make me happier... I felt this sense of sadness, (though not a serious depression) but enough that it caused a stirring deep within my soul, and I began to ask myself some questions like, “ Is this it? Is this what I am to experience? Are we not meant to experience joy and fulfillment?’ JOY became my word, and I was determined to discover how I could create more joy in my life. I guess I made this known to people around me because I began to receive little gifts for Christmas and my birthday with the theme of Joy!
One of the first books I began to read which gave me great comfort, and began to provide me with some answers, and a way to implement a sense of peace, calmness and acceptance, was a book that was given to me by a very dear friend of mine. It was Sarah Ban Breathnach’s “Simple Abundance—A daybook of comfort and Joy. “ I began a new habit, awaking a little earlier each morning, to give myself the gift of having a little time to myself. I would make my cup of java, light a candle, and sit in beautiful silence reading the day’s message, followed by a little time for stillness and reflection. And so began my journey to a happier, more fulfilling life…
Inspiration: Every day, you must choose to be happy—you create your joy from within…

Network Marketing--The Business of the 21st Century

I pride myself in the fact that I am a Professional Network Marketer. Currently, part time, but working towards full time.
Network Marketing is one of the best and most fair business models, because you get back what you put into it. No matter what educational background you have, as long as you are coachable, and have a strong desire to learn, grow, change your life, and help others do the same, you can absolutely find success here.

Robert Kiyosaki is a brilliant business man, and one who supports network marketing along with many other well-known individuals, such as former President Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, Paul Zane-Pilzer, among others.
To be enlightened, watch the Utube Video by Robert Kiyosaki; search for "business of the 21st century. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJyhTfq27Q8&feature=related

What kind of person describes you?

• Are you someone who has to be right all the time?
• Are you someone who likes to be "comfortable"
• Are you someone who likes approval, likes to please and likes to be "liked"

If this describes you, you likely will not find much success in the NWM industry, because you are likely not willing to change, and you would prefer to let others look after you.....unless you have a burning desire to change and create the life of your dreams!

• Are you someone who likes to win?

If you can answer yes to this, then you have the personality style that gives you the edge to really succeed in life, and to be successful in this industry. Why? Because you know what it takes to win, and be successful. You may fall down, but you get back up, time and time again. You don't take things personally, you don't let rejection paralyse you, and you continue to strive to be better, get better, learn more and make the most out of life. You know how to commit. You like to hang out with leaders because you want to be like them-- you want to learn, and you want to help others do what they want to do and get more out of life!

You know that the economy has moved on and in order to create your own life, and not be dependent on the goverment for your retirement income, you recognize that you can take control of your own finances, by working smart, being consistent and persistent for the next five years or less, which will reward you for the rest of your life....

Networking Marketing is the business model of the future. Paul Zane Pilzer, well known economist has stated that in the next 10 years, 10 million new millionaires will be created, and the two main areas they will be created in will be Network Marketing and Wellness.

There are many excellent Network Marketing companies serving trillions of people worldwide! They offer higher quality products, becuase they pay us, the distributors, to be their word of mouth advertising rather than pay a bricks and morter store, employees or for advertising.

Find a company who's product or service you love. Work with a team, and the leaders. Read books about the industry. If you are new to NWM you will have to become a student of the industry. Be patient with yourself, learn from those around you, and believe in yourself. If you become passionate about the product and company you choose, and work with your support team, you can absolutely find success here.
