I was tossing around a topic to write on today, some great ideas came to mind, and then I received an email that redirected my focus. The featured article in her newsletter is entitled “Forget About Miracles” with an opening line of “Whatever the case may be, you can stop praying for a miracle. They just don't happen. Some of you think you've heard of miraculous events or people recovering from treacherous circumstances but it's an illusion.”
What a disheartening comment to make, to tell people that God does not do miracles today. Sounds to me like someone may be lacking in the faith arena, the Bible tells us that there are miracles to those that believe. So how can one explain the healing in my body 15 years ago of cervical cancer? Was this just an illusion? What about Amanda who was a high risk pregnancy, delivered twins and slipped into a comma, suffered from heart failure and after family & friends began praying Amanda came home to raise her children. Is this not a miracle? Is this just an illusion?
In a time as we are in today it is important if not crucial to have faith and believe that God in heaven can perform miracles in lives. Have you ever worried about how the next bill would be paid and somehow the money is there? Have you ever entered into a situation that you should not have survived? Have you ever seen someone healed or been healed yourself when a doctor told you there was no chance or cure? The Bible tells us we as believers have the power to perform miracles, so is the author of the article mentioned above saying that God’s word the Bible is wrong? Such a foolish and deceptive statement to be said by someone in such a time as this. Are you being sold out to “other” thinking or as we call it stinkin thinkin?
In a time such as we are living in today it is crucial to cling onto the truth that is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow…God’s word…AKA The Bible. The Bible warns us about false teachings in many verses for example in 1 John 4:1 “Dear friends, do not believe everyone who claims to speak by the Spirit. You must test them to see if the spirit they have comes from God. For there are many false prophets in the world.” NLT
We are also told that by faith we can do anything; Matthew 17:20 “So Jesus said to them, "Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you”. So what does your faith tell you? I challenge the thinking that miracles do not happen today, because if I believe in God, believe the Bible to be God’s words then I can not buy into the stinkin thinkin that our self-talk, bodywork or even magic is to be credited for the miracles happening everyday in lives around the world. Believe in things that are proven, believe in truth and release the false teachings and beliefs running through our lives like a flash flood of debris and trash. Stand on the foundation of only truth…God’s Word, AKA The Bible and begin to believe in and experience miracles in your life today.

I Can Only Imagine...
I sat here today looking at the amazing beauty out my back door, the trees, the birds and so much more wondering how we got here. How did we get to a place where each day is filled with so much stress, fear and doubt of the unknown? Did we unconsciously choose our destination; did we knowingly choose where we are? Then one must ask do I want to stay in this place of stress, fear and doubt?
Then I came inside and picked up a popular woman’s magazine to flip through it relaxing and letting my mind go, when all I saw was ad after as telling me I am not enough. They told the reader I am not thin enough, pretty enough and on and on. Is this just adding to my stress, fear and doubt issues already clouding my mind?
Okay I figured I’d turn on a family oriented satellite channel to watch a popular family series showing real life families and their issues they deal with each of the 5 children. That was all fine until the commercials came on and they began to yell at me, since we know they turn up the volume on commercials to get your attention, again about how I am not enough.
I can only imagine a day when we turn on the television, watch a movie, read a magazine and so on we are find our selves being encouraged, built-up, edified and made to feel special. Why do we subject ourselves to this madness? Why do we allow this into our life? Are we searching for something of value in our life so desperately that we will turn anywhere to find it?
We need to stop the madness and find the things that will build us up verses tear us down. I believe we need to consciously choose what is good and right for each of us to grow and stop settling for what we are told we are to be. The amazing part of our journey called life is that we are equipped with everything we need to do what we desire to do. Just like the acorn that has everything in it to become an oak tree with the proper care, watering, nourishment and time. We must choose what we desire to focus on and nurture our mind and body, feed and allow yourself time to grow and become that mighty oak.
I can only imagine a day when none of this here on earth matters, a time when there will be peace instead of fear, joy instead of stress and doubt no longer is an issue in our minds. This day is coming and I can only imagine and wait with anticipation; however, while I must address what is real here and now I am standing up to say no more madness! Will you join me in this amazing stand to empower your life?

Change your Mind-Set…
What an amazing journey we can choose to be on and yet so many are choosing to give up, end the journey. Why? Why would you give up just before you make it to your goal? What will you choose today?
As you stop and explore the thoughts running through your mind right now what comes up? Are you consumed with the goings on in the state or Federal government crisis? Are you so pinpoint focused on the enormous job losses in the recent weeks? Are you freaking out about the what if you get the much dreaded pink slip?
Stop it!!! As humans we tend to focus and dwell too often in the negative that we can not control or change, resulting in illness, depression and often giving up. It is time that you pick yourself up, dust off your knees and move forward.
I am not saying ignore what is reality, I am saying do not focus on things that you can not fix, change or modify. It is time we all got up, refocused and changed our Mind-Set to something positive and empowering for you. Let’s just say enough whine and cheese!
Instead of waiting for the pink slip, empower yourself to build something amazing today, so if it comes you are not devastated you are empowered and already refocused on an amazing journey that is powerful and life changing. Stand today with me and say no more excuses I am going to move forward in a positive & empowered state of mind!

Creating Positive Focus
Just what does Creating Positive Focus mean? Does that mean I am always happy and nothing negative ever happens? No. Creating Positive Focus is a skill you can learn to move through the events in our life. In order to create positive focus we must choose to act and not re-act to life. Sounds like a huge order to chunk off considering everything that you have gone through, depends on how you chew it! I once heard the question asked, how do you eat an elephant? The response was well one bite at a time, so why can’t we apply this to our life as we move through it.
I am sure by now you have heard about The Secret and The Law of Attraction, they are real from the stand point what you focus on is what you get more of. The people you attract to yourself reflect how you act and think. So the million dollar question here today is what are you focused on and how do you behave, what is your attitude?
The success key to this journey we call life is what we focus on, if we focus on the negative aspects of our life we will draw more negative. This occurs because when all you focus on is negative, you actually miss all the beautiful moments and opportunities that are in front of you each day. However, if we choose to move through the “negative” moments in our life and focus on or seek out the positive we will draw more of the positive into our space, because we are looking for it. The same scenario follows for people in our life, who do you choose to surround yourself with? Are you seeking out people that are negative and you can compete for the best sob story or are you seeking out people of power and passion? If we act in power and passion the same type of people will naturally be drawn to us. When I mention power it is defined as knowing the direction you want to head into and creating the roadmap to get there. People of power do not usually sit and wait for life to happen to them they go out and begin creating life. So I ask you who do you want to attract?
We each have choices we must make in our life, so is your choice the wounded victim or the victorious warrior as you step into the new? Which choice gives you more power and energy? It is time each of us choose to step into the victorious warrior and begin to act like it; life will be more interesting, you will feel better both physically & mentally and you will see yourself more successful.
What is your choice today?

Inspired Movement…
Inspired Movement…
Wow, almost 2 weeks into 2009 are you moving forward? I just finished speaking at the Crystal Cathedral this past weekend and what a rush of joy as I presented Victorious Warrior or Wounded Victim. A message that has moved people into inspired movement forward. We each have a choice to make as we move into the next week of 2009, how do you want to embrace it? I see it as if we have to be present in that moment let’s make it inspired and positive moving forward with empowered action. Of course, there are those that say phooey let’s just sit and wallow in our past, we were hurt, attacked, and lost so much…
Which response brings you more power? It is time to make the choice to embrace inspired movement and do something with our life. We went to see Yes Man last night and what a true statement the movie made. So many of us sit by and allow life to fly past us happening around us and yet we do nothing. Jim Carey realized after a crazy “rah, rah” meeting that he needed to say yes to life, of course it had its twists however in the end saying yes to life was a powerfully positive decision he made. This is some of the same topics in my new program, finally available on CD as a set, the 6 Keys to an Empowered Journey where you explore your life journey and make inspired movement and empowered decisions to move forward.
Are you ready to say Yes?
