The New Year…what a wonderful time to reflect on our past year and find the moments that made us feel wonderful and let go of the moments that left us feeling upset. Before you let go of that upset step back from the situation or person within your mind and look at the bigger picture without the hurt or anger. Find what you may have learned from the negative experience that will help you in your present and future. Even if it is just to say, “That is what I don’t want.” Now let it go. You no longer need all the fuss.
Now reflect on the wonderful moments of the last year and soak them in to your very soul. Feel the joy of the moments. Keep those feelings close to your heart. Those feelings will bring you more of those positive vibrations.
Now anticipate your wonderful New Year. Build an image within your mind of everything you want your new year to be. No worries of the ‘how or if’…just build and envision with all the joy and excitement you can muster up. Now that you have the image see it in your mind, feel it in your heart, live in your mind as if it is already here. Those feelings and thoughts are going to bring you what you envision.
Your New Year’s mantra…see it in your mind, feel it in your heart, live in the now as if it already is there, and expect it to happen. You do that and you will have all you envision. And as the Universe brings to you what you focus on enjoy life and appreciate the life you have right now.
The day before the New Year. There is an intense joy in letting an old year go and envisioning that the New Year will bring. So what are we doing for New Year’s Eve? Lee and Peanut are going to Bingo night, yes, Bingo night! They’ve planned this for quite awhile. Our local community puts on a big Bingo potluck and all of Peanut’s friends will be there so Lee is going to be the good daddy and take her. 
I’m staying home with Mom and Dad so they won’t be alone on New Year’s Eve. Tonight I’ll be making sandwiches, au jus, chips and dips, and spending the evening with Mom and Dad. I’m sure I’ll hear some great family stories this evening. Always do when Dad gets on a roll! I sometimes can’t believe my dad survived past his teen years with all the pranks they used to pull.
Have an incredible New Year’s Eve and see you next year!
Are you in a situation that you have been asking for an improvement in? There will be an improvement as long as you don’t put any repetitive thought into there not being improvement. When you focus on the word ‘improvement’ see the situation healed. The old situation can not keep going if you shift your focus to all is well. The old situation will die and a new improved situation will come alive. Trust and let go of the old situation so that a new one will emerge through your shift of focus.
I love how the Universe works. Yesterday we went out to watch a movie and lo and behold a freak snow storm came in. We have a mountain peak we have to cross in order to get into town and even though I knew all was well it made me nervous thinking of coming home over that pass. When we stepped out of the theater I asked the Universe for a comforting sign that all was well on the snow pass. My phone rang and said it was a private call. No one was there. Thinking that maybe it was my parents I called them at the house. They hadn’t called but Dad said he was glad I called. They had just gotten over the pass and it was clear as a bell on the road. I smiled, hung up the phone, and thanked the Universe for the missed private call that inspired me to call Dad and the comfort I needed came. The Universe always comes through one way or another.
We are taught from the moment we come into this physical life to keep our eyes open for any kind of hurt. Keep your eyes on the road so that you can sidestep any kind of potholes and be aware of any kind of detours and roadblocks. We’re told to look out for strangers and to be careful. We’re told what to eat and not eat in fear that we will hurt our bodies. We get so wrapped up in all the do’s and the don’ts of being physical that we begin to run around in circles to try to figure out which way to go.
Then some of us look for a way out. We look to the mind to find some answers. We find that all of the fears and worries are just ghosts of what we have been told. They remain ghosts until we think so much on ‘the ghosts’ that they come into being.
Then one day we get it. We realize that whatever we think and how we feel can create our own life. This is where you can take control of your own life by throwing out all the fear and worry and begin to rebuild a new thinking system for yourself. Does this mean you let every stranger in your door? Of course not. It just means that now that you are aware of the fearful situations you can now let them go and focus on something much more positive for yourself.
We’ve had a lot of company come through and yesterday was one of those days for friends to drop in. It’s such a nice surprise when someone comes by to say hello. Janet kept the office going while Lee and I had some time to visit catching up with dear friends and their lives and just as they were leaving another car pulled up with another wonderful friend we hadn’t seen for awhile so we brewed some more coffee and said goodbye to one friend and hello to another. I am thankful for friendships…
Do you make New Year resolutions? Lee and I talk about what we envision for the year and have an evening of visualizing. Most resolutions are made through resistance. It’s as if whatever it is that you want resolved is a struggle. See your New Year resolution as completed. Revel in the joy that you have already achieved it. Feel it and know that it is a part of your 2010. Don’t let anyone rain on your parade…just know and instead of being met with struggle you will be met with the dream you have envisioned. Here’s to 2010!
We’re having a meeting in the studio this morning on all the ideas and thoughts for the coming new year. We do this yearly and talk about our personal goals and our business goals. We have a wonderful time talking of the past year and then letting it all go to ring in the next year…2010 is going to be one incredible journey!
Each one of us is a Divine being but this doesn’t mean that we don’t look at the truth of the fact we are in a material world. We are spiritual beings having a physical experience living in a material world for the pure joy of it all. We are in this physical world but we are not the physical world. We are here to enjoy the process of creation and to awaken our eternal self into a higher level of consciousness. The material is a part of all that here. Remember that you are in this world but are not ‘of it.’ We came here knowing full well that the material is part of the experience so enjoy it all. Enjoy the material but always remember the true reason you are here.
We’re having a relaxing day and then back it tomorrow. We look forward to our work and it’s funny to watch us relax…we end up talking about another concept for the Positive Thought Retreat or a new book or lecture that could be helpful. It’s our way of relaxing! As long as you enjoy what you do why not love it twenty four seven if it doesn’t wear you out?
Your eternal self within you wants you to manifest all the things you create within your mind. Your eternal self knows that you can be and do anything your heart desires. Your eternal self loves you and knows every little thing you are thinking and feeling and still unconditionally encourages and supports you. Your eternal self wants you to fulfill all that you have in your mind that makes you feel happy. So what’s stopping you?!
We had a wonderful holiday and today we’re still celebrating family. It’s blue and clear out with temperatures hovering at forty degrees. I think we’ll be outside walking yesteday’s dinner off. (hee hee) Hope you had a wonderful holiday as well. Now on to a brand new year full of success and joy for everyone!
Live in each moment and don’t worry about the past or your future. Live in what it feels like to have the life you desire at this moment. Enjoy your family, enjoy your friends, enjoy every experience that comes into your being, and appreciate all you see. Be thankful for every moment of everyday of your ability to create the life you want. We’re here to experience and all it takes is some fine tuning of the focus. Begin focusing on the positives in your life and leave the negative thoughts behind. You can do it! Life is meant to be lived!
Happy holidays to you all! I had a moment this morning where my heart was so full the tears began to flow. My mom handed me a little box and inside was her wedding rings she had been wearing for over sixty years. Those little rings have been through every experience and memory of her married life. I don’t know what to say…I am truly blessed to share this special ring set of a woman who helped guide me to who I am. I love you, Mom…
First build the image of what you desire your life to be whether it is happiness, health, relationship, or abundance. Get excited and think of how great it will be when your desire has manifested. Can you feel it? Can you really tell that it is going to manifest? Are you excited and so grateful that it is on it’s way to you? Are you not waiting and just enjoying and trusting each experience that comes to you knowing full well that you will be living that life you envision? Okay…now…LET IT GO…let the image go out into the Universe and let the Universe take care of how it will happen. Don’t picture every way it is going to happen for you. Just see the end result and let the Universe take it over. It will happen and it will happen in some unconventional way that you have never thought of. Let it go and just know.
We have family coming in all day long. Today I’ll be cooking and baking up a storm with Mom. Today is tamales, cornbread stuffing, pies, and fresh cookies all for tomorrow. Tomorrow will be all the rest of the big holiday feast. What a wonderful time of year!
What is it that you really believe in? Whatever you sit and think about the most, where ever you put most of your attention to, that is what you believe in. If you are overly worried about your finances, your belief is in a struggling Universe. If you are overly worried about your safety, your belief is in a nonprotective Universe. Those beliefs are exactly what you will have in life but if you are able to transcend past the limited views of worry and fear and put your beliefs in the unlimited Universe that takes care of you then that is what you will have in life. It is your choice.
A beautiful day to appreciate all that is around me…my dad telling his not so funny jokes, Peanut excited beyond belief about the holiday, Mom in the kitchen making fudge, Lee and Jim laughing at something on Hulu, my son calling to tell me he bought himself a new gi-normous (his word) television, and you.
The other day I sat outside and just watched nature. The birds were singing and the squirrels were jumping from tree to tree. Each bird was busy. They flew in and out of the bushes with precise direction and knew exactly where to fly without getting caught up in the brambles. So how do the birds know how to keep from getting stuck? It couldn’t be instinct because each bush grows differently. They were able to flit here and there without ever getting stuck or hurt. I believe the bird just had faith in how to fly. He used his own intuition to just let it happen. He didn’t know if it would even work out, he didn’t worry about every little detail, he just did it. If he had thought about it and stopped then he would have fallen out of the sky losing his momentum. He just knew that it would all work out. He had faith that it would all work out and took action.
Could learn a lot from a little bird…
This is power down day for Lee and I. We have a lot of family coming in for the holidays and we are getting projects finished so we can sit back and enjoy family and friends. We have many new projects coming up that will help and guide you on your journey through positive thought…it’s so exciting! But for now, I’ll leave it at that and get to the studio. I’m thankful to be able to work with Lee and our wonderful staff.
Have a wonderful day!
Keep focusing on how you want your life to be and replay it in your mind as you go about your day. Feel the joy of the moment and feel the joy of the life you are seeking now. It is all there and right in your thoughts and feelings. Manifestation time! What are you waiting for?
Lee and I are taking Mom and Dad to Costco. This is their big day to get out and it is raining cats and dogs so we’re leaving Peanut home with her sis and having a day out with Mom and Dad. The funny thing is they buy for them so they come out with not much but Lee and I on the other hand are the ones who come out with the basketful but the day trip is for them going to Costco. Got to keep Lee away from the electronics and got to keep Dad away from the prunes!
There will always be disagreement and opposing sides. We are all unique to what we think and believe and each of us thinks our answer is ‘it.’ We are born to know contrast through our experiences. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if with all our unique thoughts and beliefs, if we could accept one another for our differences. Yet we could still live the life we have envisioned without worrying about who was right or wrong. We could just accept that each of us believes differently. Then maybe we could figure out how to use all our beliefs to create a world full of peace. I’m just saying…
Today is a day to just sit and relax. (happy sigh) Peanut’s party was so much fun! They laughed and roared and then when we were all done with the holiday activities, they all went up on the back hill and rolled down it…in the mud!! They came in with mud from head to toe with two little white eyes peeking out! We pulled out clothes from Peanut’s closet for them to all wear while I washed their clothes. They made some wonderful memories and Supermom (me) has been put back in her Supermom box for now. Whew!!
You’re all excited about a wonderful idea you have and you tell someone. They tell you that it is not a smart idea at all. Do you let that one opinion of someone who can’t possibly know what the outcome of your own idea will be unless they have experienced it change how you feel? If you let their negative opinion affect your own thought and feelings then they will have affected the vibration you send to the Universe asking for manifestation. Your doubt that someone else put in your mind will change the vibration of the wonderful idea and it may not manifest because of it. If someone gives you their advice and you like it then use it but if they give you advice that hurts and doesn’t feel right, leave it for them to experience and keep your mind on the idea without the opinion of another. You don’t have to choose to be a part of that kind of vibration.
There are fourteen gingerbread houses waiting to be decorated for Peanut’s holiday party. I have never made so much icing in my life! I sent Lee out three times to buy more supplies which doesn’t sound like much except that we live forty miles from town…my hubby loves me! I am grateful for many things about Lee and one of his most wonderful traits is his enthusiasm for life. I walked into the studio yesterday and said, “How much do you love me?” He smiled and said, “Enough to go to the store again!” Not a complaint. He grabbed his man purse (Just kidding! The visual of Lee with a man purse cracks me up!)…he grabbed his wallet and gave me a peck on the cheek and off he went!
When we have something within our mind that we believe, it can always be changed. A belief that you may have is a repetitive mental pattern within your own frame of mind and you have the ability to change it if you don’t like it. There is nothing that you are made to believe. You only think that you have to believe something and then you do. Whatever you wholeheartedly believe will manifest into your life whether it be struggle, happiness, fear, or abundance… it will come. You have the ability to believe whatever you decide is right or wrong for you. You…that is all it takes.
I’ll be answering our LOA e-mails this morning and then I’ll be switching into Supermom mode! Peanut and I are getting everything ready for her party tomorrow. She’s very excited! We’ll be crushing candy and making gingerbread models for all the gingerbread houses the children will be making then Janet (our office manager) is helping us with teenie weenie hot dogs. We’re making over two hundred of them for the kids. We also are putting together party favor boxes full of fun. I love having a ten year old. There excitement is contagious! The hard part will be to keep Jim (our tech) and Lee from eating up the teenie weenies. I believe they could eat them in one gulp!
I’m amazed at the amount of people we encounter through our daily routine of life. Think about all the people you see and pass. Did you know that one smile from you can change someone’s experience. Just one…try it today when you are standing in line or passing by another on the street. They may need a sign of encouragement and your smile may just do the trick!
Lee and I will be recording RADIO LOA this morning and then off to appointments that we have in town. Peanut has two days of school left before her winter break then she’ll be having a holiday party on Saturday for all her friends. We’re making gingerbread houses for the kids to decorate so the kitchen is full of spice drops, red hots, M n M’s, and pretzels for the big Peanut party! Should be loads of fun!
Just for today think before you say something about someone. If someone is talking about someone else and you nod in agreement you are saying and feeling exactly what they are saying. Practice harmlessness. All day think about what you may think or say about someone else before actually saying it. No matter what someone might be or what you think they might be they have feelings just like you but the difference is you are the one that knows whatever you put out into this world will come right back to you via the Law of Attraction. Ultimately you are hurting you when something is said that shouldn’t be.
The girls and I are going into town to do some last minute shopping for the holidays. Do you know my favorite part of going in and having lunch and spending time with my girls? Besides ‘being’ with my girls, I enjoy seeing people. I love to make eye contact with everyone I see and smile to let them know I care. I’ve noticed elderly people search out faces and always smile back. A smile…a Universal language!
As normal human beings we tend to resist what we feel threatened by. Maybe the ‘threat’ is failure or financial struggle. By resisting we create the very energy we feel threatened by and the vibrations lives within you and out in the Universe. Doesn’t it make sense to take away the threat within your mind and focus upon that? When you take that threat away and begin to focus and build positive creations in your own mind then that is what your life will become through the Law of Attraction. The threat you are so worried about is just a creation of your own mind. Change the thought, change the creation.
Thank you to each and every one of you that sent me birthday wishes. I’m doing what I love best today…writing and spending a wonderful day with my family. Lee took me to lunch yesterday and Mom and my oldest daughter are making a big dinner with homemade cheesecake. What could be better than that?!
Each time you see a manifestation in your world that is not what you want, take your attention away from the outer image and change the inner image within your thoughts to the perfect image that you do want. When you draw your attention away from what you don’t want and begin to focus (as much as you can) on what you do want, your world will reflect what you focus on.
Lee and I are going into the big city for meetings as well as dropping off all the holiday cookies that were baked. I finished baking at midnight last night. Peanut and Mom went to bed early so I finished the baking. I love the quiet of an evening, don’t you? Baking in the kitchen, enjoying every moment, and thinking about how grateful I am to everyone and everything in life. Living life!
Take a moment each day to be still. So what does it mean to ‘be still?’ It means to go into a mental state of trust and calm and to connect to the eternal self who is you. It means to connect to what we are all connected to at all times…the Universe. It means for just a few moments keep still, leave your logical mind at the door, relax, be still, and connect. You are connecting to who you really are within and by connecting there is a sense of clarity, calm, and abundance. Insights are gained, the physical body balances, and so does the mental body…all things that are important to applying positive thought and the Law of Attraction.
Another wonderful day of writing and baking. I’m writing articles for different sources that use our information monthly and then off to baking more holiday cookies and desserts for the community. We have three generations baking in the kitchen this afternoon. Lots of mess, laughter, and fun. The results are always a mix of our different kinds of personalities. Mom likes drop cookies that you don’t have to cut out. I like labor intensive methods that turn a cookie into edible art, and Peanut loves the cut out cookies that she can decorate so between us all we have a nice array of holiday baking. Every year we break a few cookies intentionally to taste!
Make a pact with the Universe today. Forgive yourself and others of any creations that may have not been what you wanted. Leave the guilt of your past behind. You are now ready to be successful in everything you do. Let go of all feelings and fear of failure and all thoughts and feelings that you can’t achieve what you desire. See only success in everything that you do. See only solutions to any problem. Ask the Universe to step into your consciousness and guide you to be aware. Let the Universe know you trust whatever it brings your way. Trust your feelings and envision that all is just as it should be. You are an unlimited being with unlimited thoughts and manifestations. Step aside from the physical and let your life be guided by your positive focus of what you want your life to be. Tell the Universe that you are going to trust and let go.
What a nice day to be inside and writing. Peanut has friends coming over today and Lee and Joachim will be working on getting out the newsletter. Guess I better get in the kitchen and make some brownies for everyone. Mom is feeling great and Dad is itching to get outside even though it is freezing and raining. All is well in the McCain household!
