Good Morning Peeps!! Happy Thursday!!! Its an UTTERLY STUPENDOUS Day in the Universe!!! So many wonderful things are beginning to happen in my life. I am literally seeing change in my life like I’ve never seen before. Lol! It’s all I knew it could be -but never had before. I think the way I have gotten here is the most incredible part. The stuff I had to lose and the incredible paradigm shift that was required for me to have these recent successes. SO… I HAD to share with you about how I had to lose so much of my thoughts about life and the rules that kept me in the box in order to get here, that now I’m actually allowing this process to shape me in ways I never knew existed… all for my new life. Here’s the craziest part… it was my choice! Yes! It was all up to me to decide if I wanted to hold on or let go. I could have stayed the same If I chose to be scared and play small. I could have chosen to be around the familiar and comfortable stuff that made up the life I knew. It was totally up to me.
I am a witness that on the other side of YOU is a life beyond compare! I’m also a witness that in order to get to that life you have to let some stuff, some people and parts of yourself GO! Why? Bc they don’t belong where you’re going. That’s right! I said it! Parts of you (your current mindset, current belief structure, your current understanding, your desires, your soul ties) DO NOT belong in your future. If you try to take them, they won’t fit and eventually you will end up sabotaging your future.
You cannot put new wine in old bottles. Likewise you cannot fit your new self in your old mind condition. The new goes with the new just like the old goes with the old. The beauty of it is YOU choose. You can actually stay where you are and never grow to your fullest potential. Yes you can! But … if you choose that, do the world a favor… do not complain about your choice or the results you see (or don’t see) because of it. It really is up to you. You can have the life you know or you can have the life you dream of. I challenge you to choose and commit to the life you want. #ThePowerOfChoice
Love, Light and Blessings from my heart to yours!
Life Stirring Question
Since transition seems to be happening in my life and the lives of so many others around me I dedicated a little thought to exactly what all of this shifting, transforming, and changing means for me in hopes that it will also help you.
Since the purging began I’ve had to ask myself a few key questions: 1) How bad do you want it? and 2) What are you willing to give to have it? Stay the course peeps! It will be worth the purge.
The PURGE!!!!
Legacy And You
Today I want to ask you about your legacy. What will you build now to support the generations to come? How will they remember you? What are you supposed to leave to add to them? A business that they can work in or sell? A book of your life lessons to help them avoid the pitfalls you encountered? A Life Insurance policy that makes their financial woes lessen after you are gone? Investments? An understanding of HOW to acquire and maintain wealth? Great health habits? What are you building?
Life is not just about how well you do, its about who you bless with your abilities along the way and what inheritance you leave behind for those who will need to benefit from your knowledge when your are gone.
Henry Ford, Rockefeller, Thomas Edison, and SC Johnson left a legacy of enginuity and creative inventions. Mother Theresa and Nelson Mandela left a legacy of love for humanity. Shakespeare, DaVinci, and Michelangelo left artistic masterpieces. Michael, Whitney, Tupac, and Luther left beautiful melodies, lyric and song. Every one their own way. What will you leave?
Never forget, your life is your legacy.
Enlarging Your Own Territory
Wow! This year It’s such a huge shift for me and a lot of people I know. It’s seems we are all moving swiftly towards a different life. It’s taking all we have, but we know that if you want to live a different future, you have to move differently in your present.
I know for me the task becomes staying on course and not allowing the distractions to derail my efforts. I have learned to work on almost every area of my existence from mind and body to spirituality and finance. Quite frankly It’s the hardest process I’ve ever been through. It is also the most rewarding. I was thinking about how much I’ve expanded and grown over the past year and how many things are changing (and how rapidly!). I actually stopped to gather inventory on what was really working, what wasn’t working, and how I dealt with it all. I figured out HOW it’s happening and I wanted to share with you what I’ve figured out! First… there is LOTS of self examination and self care; Second… I’ve begun to assess the people I associate with, and third… I’ve learned to trust the process.
LOTS of Self Examination and Self Care – The first part of enlarging your territory starts with YOU. Your task is to clean out your closets. In other words, find and address all of the stuff inside of you that could hold you back. Be that your mindset, your self esteem, your eating habits, your money attitude, your belief systems, past hurts, your faith structure, your openness to love, or any of the other internal factors that can cause any level of pause in the pursuit of your happiness. Now what do I mean by address them? I mean dig into the root causes and find the best way to resolve, settle, eliminate or change them so that they become beneficial to your overall success. Finalizing outstanding issues always creates space for growth, development, and expansion in your life.
Of course self examination should always lead to better self care. Self Care is about building that proper support system so that you can be successful in your endeavors. Support Systems are monetary, emotional, spiritual, and relational. Good support systems also help when you have to pave through unknown territory. A large part of a good support system is based on your Peeps!
Assessing The People You Associate With.
This was a HUGE lesson for me! I’m such a loving person and I always want to give what I can to anybody that needs it. I’m an over extender – either by nature, or nurture – I always try to give of myself to those around me. Because I’ve started assessing my Peeps, I’ve learned that those who I surrounded myself with generally fall into one of three categories of people… Energy Suckers, Even Exchangers, and Those whom I learn from. I eliminate the energy suckers maximum access pass to my life asap, as I’ve learned that Its most important for me to monitor my resources and balance their distribution. I’m a giver by nature and this one was tough to learn because I always want to give. Honestly, learning to serve from my saucer is the absolute best lesson I’ve every learned and practiced. It allows me to be balanced in my giving so I am more effective; and I have reserves for myself. Great lesson, huh?
Even Exchangers are the people with whom I am able to give and receive from evenly, openly and with the same intensity. They are my core group of family and friends. Without them, I couldn’t be myself. I’ve got MAADDDD LOVE for these people. We are each other’s cheerleaders, confidants, and supporters. Sometimes we bounce ideas off of one another, sometimes we share our fears and cry together, but these are the ones whom I consider my inner circle.
Then there are those FANTASTIC PEOPLE that I learn from keep me in motion toward my dreams. They allow me space to be afraid, but still hold me to making it all happen! I study them. Their accomplishments help me see that what I want is possible. What they do makes me see what I can do. I cheer them on too! It’s just beautiful to see them go get the thing that they’re after! I’m absolutely blessed to be able to have them in my life to get wisdom from their experiences. People You surround yourself with can either make or break your future. So Peeps, for your own sake, Check Your Peeps!
Learn To Trust The Process
MAAAAAAAANNNNNN let me tell you that this one freed me up when I really got it. What does trust the process mean? It means that I now fully understand that this is a two part world… physical and spiritual. The physical part of your journey is you doing all that you’re supposed to do… do your work, create your path, maintain your focus and momentum, keep up your spiritual connection. The spirtual part is where all the stuff you as a human CANNOT control happens. It’s where the germination of all your planted efforts become tangible fruit. What I’ve come to understand is that because I can only do the physical part, I let the other part go. I don’t worry about it at all. I do my part and trust the process for the rest. This revelation added years to my productivity and my outlook when I realized that all I have to do is do all I can!!! That’s all! I get to do the easy part!!! That’s beautifully freeing right there!
All of these things have helped me to enlarge my own territory. See, its about the choices I make with my peeps, my environment, and my understanding of the totality of the process that has changed the size my territory thus far and will continue to expand it in my future. I promise you if you work on yourself, your associations, and your understanding your territory will expand as well. It’s worked that way for every successful person who’s ever lived! It will work for you too.
Lessons From The Grass
Hey Peeps!!! Happy Friday!!! It’s a SUPERFANTABULOUS day in the Universe!!! There are lessons all around us! This one came when I was sitting outside talking with my customer…
Getting what you want out of life takes you putting in time and consistent effort. Since nothing happens overnight you have to learn that there is a process to growth and development. Think about it like planting seeds. The even though the seed has potential, the seed will only produce when you plant, cultivate, and defend it to become. Once ground the seat will only flourish according to maintenance, and it will die without it.
So get prepared for the life you want by making sure that you planted a seed cultivate your C and defend your CD so that it can grow into what you would like it to become. And once it’s grown make sure that you maintain it properly so that it will flourish and not die.
Learning About Love
Did you know I used to BOYCOTT Valentines Day? YEP! I really did! It wasn’t because I hated love, actually it was for the OPPOSITE reason. I yearned for love, but didn’t have it – at least not in the form I associated Valentines Day with. I’d been so hurt by circumstances (some I chose, some I inherited), that I completely checked out of love for a while. I just didn’t participate.
Thats such a vast contrast to how I perceive love today because… (Wait for it) … I got healed and grew up a bit inside. So, I decided to share with you a little of what I learned on my journey of understanding. I wanted you to know why I am SO UBER excited about LOVE today, and give you a few tips that might help you if you need a new perception of LOVE. In Honor of the day when we all celebrate love (Valentines Day), I send you Smoochie ooey-gooey love from my heart to yours! 🙂

Support Systems That Work!
I was thinking about all the wonderful people i have in my world that make up my support system – my mother, aunt, uncle, godparents, my dad, friends, colleagues and my coaches. the people in our lives that make up our support systems are very important because the push us higher by giving us accolades, and by calling us on the carpet with our crap.
We all need that even though it doesn’t feel good sometimes. Your support system is supposed to help you grow in every way. We need to be sure that we surround ourselves with people who will not only tell us what us WANT to hear but also what we NEED to hear.
Heart, Head and Mouth Agreement
Hey Peeps! 2014 is the year of Abundant Rain! I wanted to talk to you about how important it is to have your Heart, Head and mouth in agreement in order to fully manifest the life you love! Never forget that in your heart is the root of every thought you think, word you speak and ultimately the life you live! Check your hearts peeps!

The Words You Speak
This morning I was mulling over the idea of negativity and the thoughts that we think that turn into the words that we speak. Then I had an idea! In my Living A Powerful Life class I teach people how to reverse negative thinking, so I figured that it might be a good idea if I shared the basics of the technique I teach on how to reverse negative thinking with you.
1. Be Aware Of Your Words – Most of the time people speak and then they think. That’s not a bad thing. That’s just the truth. We say things like “Oh I’m so stupid!”. Worse yet, we speak to ourselves sarcastically by saying things like “Well, that was smart of me!”. In actuality we really wish that we had done whatever we’re speaking about differently. My question is… why not just say that? I’ll tell you why not. It’s because most of the time when we’re speaking we don’t think first. Since we don’t think first, we don’t think purposefully. Not thinking purposefully leads to saying things negatively to others and about ourselves without even considering what’s coming out of our mouths. Haven’t you ever heard a child being belittled by their parent who’s just simply frustrated at the fact that the child is not getting the lesson that the parent is trying to convey? How much more effective do you think the parent could be if they stopped and thought about the best way to convey the lesson? So being aware of your words is speaking on purpose. It’s actually taking time to grab a hold of your mouth before you let the negativity out. That’s right. I said STOP the negativity in it’s tracks before it comes out of your mouth.
2. Reverse and RePlace Negative Thoughts With Positive Thoughts – So, now that we’ve stopped the words from coming out of our mouths, how do we stop them from coming from our minds? This one is easier said than done. I get that. However, this is the most crucial part of changing your negative thoughts into positive ones. Why is it most crucial? Simply put, It’s most crucial because the life we live is 100% a product of the thoughts we think. That’s right. Every one of your past thoughts were the framework for the life that you live at this very moment. So here’s what you do. Simply replace the negative words with positive words in your head, and say that instead. Even if you’re in mid sentence. Even if you are in mid conversation. STOP, think then speak. If the thought gets past your lips (because negative thoughts sometimes will), counter act the words by pausing, thinking about what you really want to say, then rephrase the sentence, and speaking it again – but positively. Be conscious of your thoughts and think on purpose. Because your words actually bring forth things that create the world that you and the people around you live in.
One last thought on the words that you speak and the thoughts you think (especially when you’re angry). Most times angry words spring from those places where we are confused, feel unsafe, out of control, or places of past hurts. My advice… Before you speak, walk away. I say walk away because most angry words are hurtful toward the other person – and ultimately damage you too. That’s not to say that you cant speak your mind, but try hard not to speak it when you haven’t clearly thought of the seeds you plant and what they will produce.
Truly take time to think about the impact your words have because everything that you say absolutely matters. It starts inside your head first. Think on purpose and speak positive words. Words and thoughts are truly connected. Remember it has been said that the words you speak have spiritual impact and can cause life or death to the hearer and to yourself.
