Horses and Holidays Video

Happy Holidays!

I love horses and the holidays...and I am a big sucker for commercials that feature them...even if I don't buy the product...plus I love dalmatians...so this video was sure to catch my attention...

But beyond the horses, holidays and hounds, I like the message...have a vision, pursue it and the Universe will support you in achieving it. You don't have to know HOW it will happen, just believe that it will! That's what the Law of Attraction is all about!



Do you think this little guy knows his life's purpose, or what?!

We can learn from him...be clear on what you want, visualize it--create your vision board, have photos that support your vision, whatever it takes to hold onto that image...believe it is possible, take steps to achieve it, then allow yourself to receive it!

Here's to all of us manifesting our dreams today and everyday...with a little help from our friends!

Fun, Friends and Coincidences

Had a great couple days visiting with some friends I hadn't seen in a while.

We talked about all sorts of things from business to Law of Attraction to just plain fun. The four of us could have visited and shared ideas for an entire week...the visit was much too short. I recently placed an order for a series of books and DVDs on LOA...had hoped they would arrive in time for the visit...they didn't but we certainly didn't run out of things to do or wonderful topics of conversation. What a great, positive, group of people...the energy was fantastic.

Then today I heard from a neighbor who has joined a LOA group...and it turns out that one of the organizers of the group is a former co-worker of mine! Do you think this is a coincidence? I don't!

"Every person, all the events of your life are there because you have drawn them there. What you choose to do with them is up to you."

- Richard Bach

To all the wonderful people in my life now as well as in the past and future--thanks for being a part of a great ride!

Friday the 13th

Happy Friday the 13th...

This is the third Friday the 13th of the year...the maximum number possible in a single calendar year.

So if you are thinking it is an unlucky day, cheer up, it is the last one of the year. Even better, treat it as an opportunity to recognize that you can change your thinking and your experience!

I love Friday the 13th...it has always been a good day for me. When I was in school if we had tests on Friday the 13th I aced them...and I continue to expect that these will continue to be good days for me in the future.

Take extra time today to think about good things...the things you want to experience in your life. If you have the feeling that this day is unlucky then think about all the things that are already going right in your life. Remember the Law of Attraction states what you focus on expands...be grateful for the blessings you have and give only short attention to any annoyances you experience today.

As you fall asleep, think about what a great day you had...recite all the good stuff.

Then tomorrow when you wake up, remind yourself what a wonderful day Friday the 13th was...

Now you have started a new pattern! And expect the NEXT Friday the 13th to be an awesome day!

Vegan Message from Universe?

Last week I watched the Oprah Winfrey Show and the Ellen DeGeneres Show...both had vegan chefs on...am I being sent a message?

I like to sit up and take notice when "coincidences" come my way...of course, there are no coincidences in life...it is just the Law of Attraction at work!

Then in our Wednesday paper there was an insert for a new (to me) grocery store in the neighboring town. Hmmm.

I decided it was time for a shopping expedition! OK, not as exciting as "Road Trip!"...but it was exploring none the less.

So I went to Ft. Collins to the new (to me) Sprouts Farmers Market...verrry nice! They had a great assortment of fresh produce, natural health products, vegan proteins and a butcher shop. Not so big that you get lost, but big enough to have a great variety.

I didn't find the exact vegan item I was looking for..."gardein" as mentioned by Chef Tal on the Oprah Show, but there were lots of other items...some of which I have had trouble locating here in Loveland...especially since we don't really have a natural foods store and the oils & herbs lady has moved.

It may not be the most exciting development on the planet, but it made for a fun outing and a new discovery!

I Have the Power to Be Happy or Not

Wisdom is often found in humor...this isn't funny, but is wise...from one of the great comedians of the 20th century...

"Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it."

- Groucho Marx, was an American comedian and film star famed as a master of wit.

This is a great example of a positive attitude, affirmation and attracting what we want in life!

Let's choose to be happy...more fun than the alternative!

Believe You Can and You Can

I "met" a gal on Twitter today...we were both on the same page, as it were, talking about belief and how that it is necessary to believe you CAN in order to achieve your goals.

For me the biggest example is my weight loss, but it doesn't matter if your goal is to drop pounds, get a better paying job or find your life partner...it all starts with believing that you can.

(You can read more about that at Refuse To Diet....)

Musing on LOA and Social Media

Have you been participating in the Web 2.0 world of social media other than blogs?

I was introduced to Twitter almost a year ago and reluctantly got involved...there are things I really like about it, things that drive me nuts (if I choose to let them!) and things that I find down right amusing!

One of the things that strikes me as funny is the number of LOA "experts" there are on Twitter...some of them seem to be real--and offer wonderful advice and thoughtful comments. Others are well-known and you rarely hear from them, but you can follow just about all the teachers from the Secret, for example.

Then there are those people who claim to follow LOA and that they can teach you all sorts of things about it...and really all they are doing is sending out junk trying to get you to buy from them. One of my favorites is when they say they can teach you how to use LOA to attract "thousands of followers" (a follower on Twitter is someone who chooses to receive your messages aks Tweets.) It seems that whenever I get a message like this, the person who sent it out has very few followers. Hmmm...what is wrong with that picture?

Anyway...not an earth-shattering thought...but it is interesting that the people who seem to raise their hands as the "expert" rarely demonstrate it.

What does that say? About experts? About us? About people in general?

I think there are lots of great people to learn from--and you don't necessarily have to be an "expert", as in well-known, to be a great teacher...but if you are going to say you can teach me how to attract followers, shouldn't you have a lot of followers?

Or are they really demonstrating Law of Attraction principles? By stating they know how to attract thousands of followers maybe they will.

Interesting thoughts to ponder. ...What do you think?

Are they living the Law of Attraction? Are they in the process of attracting what they want? Are they sending out lots of positive vibrations and taking the actions necessary to create the life they desire?

Or are they just trying to capitalize on the New Thought / Affirmation rally that is happening around the world?

Seems to me WE can choose to experience them either way. We can be bothered by them or we can learn from them. Interesting that when I started writing this I was leaning towards the annoyed...mostly amused, but I admit to being slightly annoyed...and now that I've pondered it, I'm actually grateful to them.

By causing me to pause and think, I have been able to get more clear about what I want in my life--the type of people with whom I want to associate, to learn from...how I want to act and be perceived by others. It is really true that by (briefly) looking at what we DON'T want we get clear on what we DO want! (Thanks to Michael Losier for first teaching me this concept!)

With that, I'm going to end with joy and love in my heart. Thanks!
