This Thought Counts

You know 'those people'. They're the ones that rub you the wrong way and as you grow in knowledge and understand how that kind of emotion can affect you're life, it pisses you off even more when they piss you off. Last night I was dealing with that and remembered all the tales about wishing the best on the other person and in doing that, they fade away and you are left with good feelings. Well, it isn't the easiest to do - especially if that person has harmed you in the past, but I created a rhyme in my head that I repeated as a mantra all the way into sleep. I woke up feeling uber fantastic this morning and plan to keep it up whenever I have to deal with anyone who causes negative reactions within me. Just think of the person and repeat the following over and over. Depending on how deep the annoyance/anger, or general ugh feelings you have about the person, it will take from 1 repetition to 50 to realize you just don't harbor those feelings anymore. It'...

You know those moments where you have a-ha moments and it's like everything comes together? I had one of those today. This A-ha moment came with sparkles and happiness galore. I'm going to tell you what I found out, and then explain it. Don't be shocked. Have you ever realized what a burden dreams can be? I'd hand over a pillow for you to fall down upon, but hopefully you were sitting down when you read that. Yes, dreams can be heavy burdens, but I didn't really get that until today. What do I mean? Well, let me explain how I figured it out. There are several dreams I've been working on for a long time. Since I found Neville Goddard's and Florence Scovel Shinn's teachings, they have been a major focus of what I desire most in my life. For the past 14 months, I've lived, eaten, and breathed these dreams.  Only one problem - while I've glimpsed them and felt them in the 4th dimension, so far they have not taken physical form. You mus...

I'm going to talk today about the logical mind. Now - not in terms of left/right brain, that is something entirely different. What I want to discuss is the side of your brain that wants to make sense of things. You know the section: it says things like "Why doesn't this work for me?" and "I don't get it." We've all heard that from ourselves, and 99 times out of 100, we think we are logically thinking things out so we can find the answer, thus fixing our problem. But guess what? Thinking those kinds of thoughts and feeling the emotions that come with them actually attract the opposite to what you want. For instance, saying: "I don't get it" over and over will do nothing except make sure you never get it. I'm an inquisitive sort and when something doesn't happen the way I expect it to, I want to investigate as to why. But guess what? That is the antithesis to getting what I want. If my premise is "Why doesn't t...

Sometimes, we bemoan dreams we had that have never come to pass - the strange thing is while bemoaning this fact, we never pause to think "would this dream even fit the person I am today?" Nor do people (as a group) tend to realize some dreams you should let go of and look for new ones. Some dreams come and go, some stay for the duration. If a dream no longer serves you, let it die - let it get recycled and someone else can use it. Create your own dreams, your own past, present, and future.  Don't dream safe - for in safety there is no thrill. Dream about what you really want, not that which someone else tells you that you should want.  See it. Imagine it. Feel yourself having it.  And then let yourself have it and create a new, fantastic dream. Repeat. A great affirmation for this is "I only desire that which is part of my divine design." If you affirm that, sooner or later, your desires will change. Just let those that slide away, sl...

I'll admit it. I love Autumn. The leaves are falling from the trees and each morning wakes up with that wonderful crispness that says that snow is coming soon. I know I haven't done a lot here since the Summer of Change ended. I've been uber busy. How uber busy? Well, let's put it this way - I have 4 pseudonyms and I write in many different genres. 2 of my pseudonyms have huge book launches this month and I've been working on them for the last 6 weeks. The one just launched today, but I'm really excited about the book that launches Oct 20th. It's the first in an inspirational romance series I've written under the name Bree Cariad . Taking place in the fictional town of Hyacinth, Washington, this contemporary town lives by very traditional values. From the courting of the girls at the age of 18 to the fact that words like trust, honor, and discipline are more than just words. These novellas are clean, hopeful, and as several people have told me "...

Well, my friends. The Summer of Change is now over, but I do hope that you have embraced at least a part of what I've shared with you. Taken it into your heart and mind and tested it out, finding what works for you and what doesn't. I've used all the hints I have given you. I studied Neville Goddard and Florence Scovel Shinn. I took what worked and cast off what didn't. And I'm now living the life I wished for. To use a quote from one of my favorite TV shows of all time. Live Long and Prosper Namaste Since some of you have asked, I have compiled the entire Summer of Change into a book you can have on your eReader at all times if you'd like. It is available from:       Smashwords       Amazon       Barnes and Noble

When we start down the path of enlightenment, we get on a roll. Every issue from our past that we fix, we see a direct and positive change in our future. We go “wow!” look at that. And don’t get me wrong. That’s a GOOD thing. Unfortunately, many get into the trap of thinking they need to have everything ‘fixed’ before their goal/dream/imagination comes true. So, they start looking for things to fix. “Well, my dream hasn’t shown up, so I must have other issues I need to deal with. I’ll deal with those first.” This does two things: It changes our focus from our dreams to our problems, which is the exact opposite to what we should be focused on. It tells the universe we want more problems to fix. And the universe, in all its nicety says, “Okay, if that’s what you want…” And hands us more problems, more issues, more nightmares to fix. So stop looking. If something comes up? If intuition says “cough! You need to let that go” then listen and let ‘that’ go. But don’t go searchi...
