Yesterday I went to visit my sister-in-law and niece (1 year) and nephew (3 years), like I do most Thursdays. My nephew came racing to the door when I arrived, and he was holding a cute, light blue stuffed elephant. He proudly declared that this was his “brand new, cuddly elephant”.
When my sister-in-law told me how this elephant came to be part of the family, I laughed uproariously and clapped my hands!
My sister-in-law makes a deal with my nephew whenever they go shopping. If he behaves, he gets to pick out one toy to buy and take home. The other day when they were preparing to go to a local department store, my nephew started planning what his toy would be that day.
He kept saying over and over, “I’m going to get a brand new, cuddly elephant.” My sister-in-law said, “Oh honey, the store we’re going to today doesn’t really have a big selection of toys so they might not have any elephants. You might have to get something else, like a book or a puzzle.”
“NOPE,” my nephew declared, “I’m going to get a brand new, cuddly elephant.” My sister-in-law tried to prepare him for disappointment in case the store didn’t have any, but he would not hear it! He just insisted that he was going to get an elephant.
Long story short, they arrive at the store, and what do they see right when they walk in the front door? A display of Dr. Suess books and stuffed animal characters from the books - including an ELEPHANT!!! 
My nephew made a beeline for his new friend, and hasn’t put it down since. My sister-in-law was just blown away and I laughed like crazy when she told me the story.
Kids are NATURAL manifestors! In fact, I remember when I was a kid having experiences very much like this one! It’s truly amazing what they can do if we adults don’t get in the way and mess it up. LOL

I just have to share today’s Daily Quote from Abraham-Hicks:
“Be easy about this. Be playful about it. Don’t work so hard at it. Let your dominant intent to be to feel good, and if you don’t feel good, then let your dominant intent be to feel relief. Feel your way through it. [Emphasis mine] If you think your way through it, you can get off on all kinds of tangents. If you feel your way through it, you can come quickly to your Core Energy, and when you do that only good can then flow to you.”
Excerpted from a workshop in Rye, NY on Sunday, October 12th, 1997
LOVE IT!

How do you stay positive?
It can be challenging for sure! In recent years I’ve made a lot of progress in turning my attention away from negative trends and keeping a more positive focus as much as possible.
I don’t watch the news unless I feel there’s something important I need to know. Usually I just scan the headlines online and read only selected stories. I avoid getting tangled in conflict or arguments - or even reading heated discussions online. I work hard each day to feed my mind with positive thoughts, and share many of my own on my various websites, articles and blog(s).
Despite that positive focus, I still get blindsided by negativity pretty often. How? From the people in my life! Don’t get me wrong, I’m blessed with a wonderful circle of family and friends. They’re all great people in their own ways, but they also have their little quirks.
Take my husband, for example. Sometimes I think he should have been named “Negative Ned” - actually his name is Patrick, so let’s use “Pessimistic Patrick” instead. This is a guy who has a lot going for him. He’s attractive, intelligent, funny and has a great job (not to mention his gorgeous, charming wife, hehe). But he’s always obsessed with the negative possibilities in life.
If I mention doing some improvements to our house, he launches into a discussion about how the housing market is the worst it’s been in decades, and we’ll probably end up losing all our equity anyway, so there’s not much point.
If I talk about something we’ll do in the future, he casually mentions that the Mayan Calendar ends in 2012, so don’t plan on being here after that. (I wish I was kidding! LOL :-))
I could go on and on with him because he comes out with some doozies! But let’s share the love with someone else. My mother also lives with us, and she trolls the television news stations 3 times a day in search of the latest disasters. If she does happen to find one (and she usually does!), she’ll pop her head into my office to give me the rundown: “A tractor trailer truck just rolled over on I-95 and crushed a few cars - it looks like several people were killed. You should come see this.” (Do I really WANT to see that?) “They’re saying a big storm is heading our way and we could end up with a lot of ice buildup on the trees. I hope they don’t crash down on the house.” (Gee, me too Mom - but thanks for lending some energy to the possibility!) ”Wendy, a gunman just took a dog hostage in Minnesota. It’s not looking good for the dog . . .” (Okay, I’m exaggerating a wee bit on that last one, but you get the idea.)
I love these people, but sometimes I wish I had a mute button! 
I’m willing to bet you’ve got similar challenges in trying to stay positive too, right? How do you tune out the negativity of others and avoid letting it drag down YOUR energy?
I think one of the most effective techniques I’ve found to deal with situations like these is to utter one word to myself when they start with the negative stuff: PERCEPTION.
I remind myself that they are sharing a perception with me - which doesn’t have to become MY perception. Then I try to shift my focus to a more positive perception to balance it out. It’s not easy sometimes, but you’d be amazed at what you can do if you set your mind to it.
When it comes right down to it, it’s impossible to completely avoid negativity. And I don’t think it’s necessary anyway. If you’re focusing the majority of your energy and attention on more positive thoughts and keeping your emotions aligned as much as you can, then you’re way ahead of the game!
You can’t force anyone else to be more positive; you can only control your own focus. If other people constantly focus on the negative and it disturbs you, step away from them for awhile. Go do something that makes you feel good. Or mentally “cancel” out their negative comments and replace them with positive thoughts inside your own head.
It doesn’t matter how you choose to deal with it, as long as you don’t let the negativity take over your own mind-set. Who knows, maybe your own positive outlook will begin to rub off on the people around you! That’s my hope for my own family - and if not, there’s always earplugs.

Wednesday, January 9th, 2008
One major stumbling block many people experience when attempting to attract more prosperity and abundance into their lives is the perception that they must wait for some power greater than themselves to give the go-ahead. It’s very common to feel this way!
Years ago, I used to ask for greater abundance all the time (beg for it, actually), and then I’d wait anxiously, growing more and more impatient when it didn’t show up. Perhaps you’ve done that too? The problem with this activity is that it enhances the perception of POWERLESSNESS. When we do this we are holding a belief that “someone” has to approve our request, and we are at the mercy of their decision.
What if I told you it’s not true? What if I told you that YOU have the power to DEMAND your rightful abundance, right now?
The Law of Attraction takes its cues from YOU! It doesn’t think, question or judge. It doesn’t wait for you to become “good enough” or more deserving. It simply delivers what you expect to receive, period. If you’re not sure what you’ve been expecting in recent weeks and months, take a look at your life circumstances. Are you struggling with financial lack? Feelings of emptiness and frustration? Feelings of powerlessness and hopelessness?
EMBRACE YOUR POWER!
Below you’ll find three simple steps to reclaim your inner power and use it to create a more abundant life:
1) Believe you have the power to demand your rightful abundance.
The universe responds to your own thoughts, beliefs, emotions and expectations. Whatever you believe and focus on the most is what you’re going to get! If you consistently reinforce the belief that you are powerless and you need to wait for the universe to grant your wishes, you’ll be waiting for a long time!
Begin immediately to acknowledge and embrace your own power. You are a magnificent, dynamic creator in your own right! You DO have the power to decide your life circumstances - whether involving financial issues or anything else.
How much money do you want to have? What would you consider to be “enough”? Once you’ve gotten clear on what you want, DEMAND that it be so! Get angry. Get powerful! Tell the universe that you’re not going to settle for lack anymore and you are calling forth the material resources and abundance that you deserve - NOW!
2) Believe you deserve it.
Speaking of deserving, you must convince yourself that you deserve to have what you want. Do you consider yourself to be a good person? Do you believe you deserve to be comfortable and happy? What would you do with your life if you had plenty of money? How many people would you be able to help? Are you willing to give yourself that opportunity?
If you feel any twinges of doubt or uneasiness when you ponder these questions, you probably do not yet have the level of belief in your own worth that will be necessary to receive your rightful abundance. Begin working on boosting your self-worth each day by speaking kindly to yourself and affirming your value as a person. The more strongly you believe in your own worth, the more easily you’ll be able to open up and receive the things you want.
3) Believe that it’s already yours.
Once you’ve demanded your abundance, you’ve got to convince yourself that it’s already yours - simply because you choose it to be so! Imagine that someone told you they would be sending some money to you, and you knew without a doubt it would be arriving shortly. How would you feel? Confident, happy and expectant, right? Feel that way now! There is great power in holding this mind-set! I call it “active faith.” You simply choose to KNOW that your intentions will manifest.
It’s important to point out that “demanding” abundance and prosperity does not mean you are being greedy, selfish or ungrateful! Rather than seeing this activity as that of a petulant child, choose instead to see it as an act of confidence and choice by an empowered person. Know that you do have the power to choose your experiences, and you need not apologize or feel guilty for wanting to live an abundant life. Be grateful and appreciative of what you receive, and you will receive more!

When working with the Law of Attraction, your energetic “frequency” is all-important! The higher and stronger your frequency, the more positive experiences you will attract into your life - and the more quickly they will arrive!
How can you tell when your frequency is high?
Usually you’ll feel light, happy, purposeful, passionate, joyful, excited and peaceful. You know those days when you just seem to be buzzing with good feelings? Those are high frequency days, and on those days you hold IMMENSE creative power!
Perhaps you can remember specific times when your frequency seemed to rise without any conscious effort, like when you received some unexpected good news, ran into an old friend from high school or college - or those rare days when you happen to wake up in a good mood. These are great experiences - but the problem is that they don’t include conscious control over your frequency. Is it even possible to raise your frequency on purpose? YES!
Below you’ll find a few simple strategies that can quickly and easily get some good vibes flowing!
1) Get active. Brisk exercise is one of the best ways I’ve found to raise my frequency. Just 15-30 minutes of brisk walking or light weight training is enough to make me feel energetic, inspired and confident. I breathe deeply, work my muscles and release all stagnation that may be hanging around or within me. After the workout, I sit quietly and do an “energy session” where I visualize my desire(s) and generate some strong, positive energy to call them into my life. The result? I’m buzzing strongly with good vibes all day long - and attracting amazing experiences because of it.
2) Get passionate. I’m blessed with a career that I’m very passionate about so I’m flowing feelings of excitement and passion all day long! However, if your job doesn’t inspire passion or enthusiasm, you may need to make some changes. You could change jobs, obviously, or you could spend more of your free time doing things you really enjoy. When was the last time you did something that really inspired you? Make it a habit to spend time on activities that fulfill your heart and soul - and your frequency will automatically begin to rise!
3) Get positive! Positive thoughts trigger positive feelings, which raise your frequency. Make it a daily habit to seek out information that will help you think and feel more positive. Read inspiring books and web sites, reflect on positive quotations - and avoid negative input as much as possible! Just a few minutes of negative information can drag your energy down like you wouldn’t believe. But just a few minutes of positive input can elevate them powerfully! Make it your mission to seek out the positive stuff on a regular basis, and you’ll soon find it much easier to create and maintain a high energetic frequency.
The biggest problem many people have with maintaining a high frequency is that they don’t realize it’s truly within their control. They find themselves being tossed around by external influences, running the gamut from anger to frustration to resentment to powerlessness.
TAKE CONTROL of your frequency by consciously choosing your focus. Believe me, you’ll thank yourself for it later when you’re swimming in a sea of joy, abundance, peace and contentment!

I’ve been going on and on lately about how important your emotional state is while working with the Law of Attraction - TRUST ME, it’s VERY important!! But exactly HOW do you improve your emotional state? That was the question I got from “Dennis” recently. Here was my response to him:
Have you ever seen the movie “What the Bleep Do We Know?”
In that movie they talked about the chemicals that our brains release when experiencing positive and negative emotions, and how it’s possible to become “addicted” to specific types of emotions - and find it very difficult to generate other types of emotions.
So, (my own interpretation is) you are used to feeling calm and in control and you may find it difficult to generate some strong positive emotions - simply because you’re not used to it. But that doesn’t mean you can’t do it.
When I first started working with my emotional state, I tended to lean heavily toward the negative emotions out of habit. 99% of the time I was immersed in feelings of anger, frustration, disgust, despair, anxiety and so on.
It took quite a bit of conscious determination for me to turn it around, but I did it in bite-sized pieces. During those rare moments when I was feeling okay, I’d say to myself, “I feel pretty good today. No, I feel REALLY good today! Actually, I feel AMAZINGLY GREAT today!!!” I’d keep going like that until I gradually raised my emotional state to a higher place.
I’d stay there for a few hours maybe, then plummet back down into the negative, and start the process all over again! I also did the 15-30 minutes a day of consciously generating strong positive emotion, and that helped too - but it wasn’t an instant change. I had to keep working at it daily until momentum took over.
But here’s the cool thing: once you’ve been doing this for long enough, it really does begin to take on a life of its own! Positive emotions are addictive too! To this day I find myself whooping for joy for no apparent reason. LOL I can be driving along in my car listening to the radio and suddenly I’ll be overcome with a huge wave of gratitude that brings tears to my eyes. I just feel good much of the time, and I know it’s because I’ve gotten used to expressing more positive emotions than negative. (In fact, negative emotions work much the same way - have you ever found yourself feeling sad or angry for no apparent reason?)
Anyway, I don’t want to ramble on too much with this, but you’ll gain a lot of control over your emotional state just by practicing every day. Use positive self-talk like I described above, or bring to mind something that makes you feel happy! Then let those feelings grow bigger and stronger and direct them toward other things in your life, whatever you’re trying to attract.
————————–
So, bottom line, PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!! The more comfortable you get working with your emotions and consciously CHOOSING positive emotions, the easier you’ll find it to switch to a higher frequency whenever you want to.

I got an email from a woman asking:
How do you use affirmations to win the lottery and contests?
That’s an excellent question! First, understand that affirmations don’t hold any power themselves - they can’t magically attract money or lottery wins or anything else on their own.
The true power of affirmations is their ability to shift you into a specific mental and emotional state that is in alignment with abundance, prosperity and good fortune. Remember, your thoughts, beliefs, expectations and emotions all combine to create your energetic “frequency,” which is the signal you send out to the universe and attract corresponding experiences.
Just reciting affirmations won’t change anything unless you consciously SHIFT yourself into a state of high energy while you say them. Whatever you’re trying to attract through affirmations, you have to get into the FEELINGS of already having it!
So if you want to attract lottery and contest wins, move yourself into the feeling state of receiving them. Strong excitement, joy, fun, gratitude and so on - let these emotions take over your entire mind and body as you recite your affirmations. Mentally see yourself winning and feeling wonderful about it!
Here are some sample affirmations you can use (but feel free to alter them to better suit your own intentions!):
“I am the luckiest person on the planet!”
“I am always in the right place at the right time!”
“I LOVE winning contests and lottery drawings!”
“This is so much FUN!”
“The universe is always sending wonderful things my way!”
“Somehow I always come out ahead!”
“I am open to all of the abundance and fun the universe sends my way!”
Let me know how they work for you!

Stephen Hopson of Adversity University Blog had a few questions about my recent post, Synchronicity Will Lead You.
In that post I described having a weird experience where I was having trouble working through some blockages regarding the Law of Attraction and I decided to put it out of my mind for awhile because I was so frustrated. I decided to do some light reading instead, and reached for my Dean Koontz novel - but suddenly felt my hand being pushed away from it and my attention being drawn to my Law of Attraction books on a nearby shelf. One book in particular jumped out at me, so I picked it up, opened to a random page and THERE was the answer to my blockage!
Stephen wants to know:
“This article got me curious. What was it that you were led to read that night when you felt your hand pushing away the Dean Koonz novel and opening to the passage of a Law of Attraction book containing the answer to your blockages?
What was it? What was the blockage and what was the answer you found? And finally, what was the book that you felt led to pick up? You got me really curious here!”
My answer:
First I’ll tell you which book it was. “The Watchers” by Dean Koontz.
OHHHHH, you mean the OTHER book? LOL
Creating Money: Keys to Abundance by Sanaya Roman & Duane Packer. This is an older book, published in 1988, though I think it was the mid-1990’s when this experience happened.
The random page I opened to was page 37, which happened to be Chapter 4, “Magnetizing What You Want”. The first sentence begins, “Drawing the objects, forms, money, and people you want into your life is easier when you work with energy and magnetism before you take action.”
Why was that so powerful for me? Because up until that moment I had been trying to create with my THOUGHTS ALONE!
In previous years, I had gotten to the point where if I focused REALLY HARD on something, I could make it happen. I was able to get jobs I wanted, attract money and so on - but I wasn’t getting the connection that it was my ENERGY that was attracting these things, not just my thoughts.
So I’d spend most of my time simply thinking positive thoughts, and nothing much would happen. It was only when I became seriously desperate for something that I would focus harder - and end up releasing a burst of energy, which would bring into being the thing I wanted. But I didn’t understand how I was doing it.
I was going around in circles wondering why the Law of Attraction only seemed to work sometimes.
When I read that first sentence in the Creating Money book, it was like a HUUUUUUUUUGE cosmic light bulb went on for me! ENERGY, not just THOUGHTS!!!
DUH.
So there you go Stephen, my lightbulb moment. I’ve had others since then too, but that’s the one I was referring to in the article.
P.S. If you haven’t read Creating Money and you’re wondering if it’s worth getting, I highly recommend it! It’s not just about money - it’s about learning how to use your energy to magnetize things you want so they come easily. The one thing I didn’t like about the book is that they don’t mention much about EMOTION. Emotion is energy, and consciously working with your emotions is a great way to get your energy flowing toward something you want. But still, the book does have some excellent information about how your energy works, etc. Worth a read.

I took down all my Christmas decorations last night . . . bummer. Christmas has always been one of my favorite holidays. Putting up all the decorations fills me with such excitement and anticipation. Maybe it’s an old throwback from childhood, waiting for Santa Claus and his reindeer. LOL
But no, that’s not it. What I love most about Christmas is the FEELING it evokes. Peace, harmony, good will, abundance, gratitude, reflection . . . sacredness. It’s the one time of the year when we make a stronger effort to be kind to others, to be generous by giving gifts, baking cookies, expressing our appreciation for our public servants. We focus more on how thankful we are for the blessings in our lives and spend lots of time with people we love (and maybe a few we don’t mind seeing only once a year! LOL).
Of course, we don’t need an official holiday to feel this way on a regular basis, do we? In fact, that’s what I LOVE about the Law of Attraction!!! The Law of Attraction shows us the benefits of feeling this way every single day of our lives! It reminds us that we reap what we sow. That we get more of what we focus on. Generosity, kindness, love and joy create ripples of harmony and abundance that echo through the universe forever.
Even though my Christmas decorations are packed safely in their boxes for another year, I’m still holding the Christmas spirit in my heart, and will continue to do so every day.

Looking to start the New Year off on a more prosperous note? Read on!
Stagnant energy can be a major cause of blockages in all areas of your life, including financial lack, lethargy and confusion, relationship problems, and more. You may be familiar with the benefits of clearing stagnant energy from your living space by giving your home a solid “Spring cleaning” each year - but there’s also a little-known activity that can work wonders to clear stagnation from your life at any time: CLEAN YOUR CAR!
Your vehicle is the symbol of progress and movement in your life. Keeping it clean and in good working order carries a lot of energetic - and symbolic - weight! Think about that for a moment.
A car that is cluttered with miscellaneous objects and trash, poorly maintained and dirty sends a powerful message of chaos and disorganization to the universe! The result will most often be struggle, lack, inertia and obstacles.
On the other hand, a car that is well-maintained and clean conveys an entirely different message to the universe. Clarity, empowerment, forward progress, freedom and clear-flowing energy!
The energy and intent in these two scenarios is conveyed into the movement and progress of your life experiences!
If you are trying to make more progress in your life or attract greater prosperity, abundance or opportunities, try this:
1) First, clear ALL of the clutter out of your car. Throw away trash and unusable items, put away items to be kept, and make your vehicle as neat and orderly as possible.
2) Wash your vehicle, inside and out. Scrub the outside (or visit your local car wash), wash all the dust from the dashboard and console, and vacuum the seats and carpet.
3) Shine and polish all hard surfaces, and use a spray-on freshener for the seats and carpet. Buy a yummy-smelling air freshener too!
4) Take your car in for maintenance, if you haven’t been keeping up with that. Have the oil changed, tune-up done, and replace tires that are worn or leaking.
5) Write something like this on a sheet of paper: “This vehicle represents my smooth and easy transition through life. By keeping it in good condition, I symbolically call forth the power to make consistent progress on any and all of my intentions. I enjoy a fun and easy path to everything I desire!” Then fold the sheet of paper and keep it in the car. You can store it in the glovebox, under the driver’s seat, or anywhere - just keep it in the car.
Then, be sure to KEEP the vehicle in pristine condition from now on!
What if you don’t have a vehicle?
You can apply these same concepts to any mode of transportation! Do you have a bicycle? Do you walk to local destinations? Do you use public transportation? Be sure that your bicycle, walking shoes and traveling clothes are clean and in good repair. If you use public transportation, do your best to choose a clean and well-lit seat - and even dust off the seat before you settle in. If you have a long commute on a bus or train, be sure to take along some good books to read or uplifting audio recordings to keep your mind focused on progress and movement - symbolically and energetically!
It’s amazing how well these techniques can work. In very short order you should notice some interesting changes taking place in your life! You may get offered a better job, stumble upon great opportunities, or breeze through obstacles as if they were composed of tissue paper. Simply convey to the universe that you intend to make progress and receive greater prosperity and abundance - and the universe says, “Okay, here you go!” Try it yourself and see.
Prosperity Attraction made easy! Attracting greater prosperity into your life is as simple as learning how to avoid BLOCKING the natural flow of energy through your life. Discover simple prosperity strategies that really WORK - and heal your relationship with money forever! http://www.ProsperityVisualizations.com

Today is a good day for going back to the basics!
If you’re just learning about the Law of Attraction and wondering where to start, or if you’re not seeing results and want to start over, I’d like to share a few tips on what I believe to be the best ways to get started:
1) Choosing more positive thoughts.
Negative thinking is very much a habit, and it’s one that has the power to control your life in frightening ways! Before you can change your outer circumstances, you need to learn how to choose better thoughts. Take a moment right now and consider the general direction of your thoughts overall. Do you consistently focus on the negative? Are you stressed much of the time? Do you live in a constant state of anxiety and frustration?
Begin turning that around immediately. You won’t be able to change it overnight, but you can gradually adopt a more positive thought habit. When you’re about to do something challenging, say aloud, “I know this will be a piece of cake!” Or when you’re waiting on some news, affirm over and over that it will work out in your favor. It will take effort on your part to CHOOSE more positive expectations, and you probably won’t believe the things you’re saying - not at first. But if you keep at it daily, little by little you’ll notice optimism becoming your new habit.
2) “Flow” positive emotions as often as possible!
Emotion is absolutely one of the most powerful weapons you have in your arsenal against struggle and lack because EMOTION IS ENERGY! Whatever emotions you are feeling at a given moment is exactly the quality of energy you are emitting to the universe. Feel negative emotions, transmit a negative signal. Feel positive emotions, transmit a positive signal. Those signals are what attract your experiences!
To improve the quality of your signal, begin doing what I call “energy sessions” each day. Find a quiet place to sit or lie down, and bring to mind something that you want. Imagine that you already have it and let your emotions rise higher and higher and higher! Feel WONDERFUL about this thing you have, and let feelings of joy, happiness, gratitude and contentment flow through your body. Get the feelings as strong as you possibly can, until you’re nearly weeping with joy! Believe it or not, just a few minutes of this activity daily can bring about positive changes so quickly it will take your breath away.
3) BE what you’re trying to attract.
Finally, there is another super-duper-powerful technique that can create changes FAST. And that is BEING the person who already has what you want to attract. Let’s use an example: Imagine that you’re trying to attract more money into your life. As it stands right now, you’re struggling with lots of financial difficulties and focusing on lack a lot, which only attracts more money problems.
In order to turn this around, begin thinking, feeling and acting like a person who has no money problems. How would such a person feel? How would such a person behave day to day? Most likely, that person would be calm, happy, grateful, centered and content. They’d pay their bills calmly and they wouldn’t worry about money, ever! They would FEEL abundant and blessed. If you begin thinking, feeling and acting that way too, guess what happens? You communicate to the universe that you are abundant and blessed - and the universe says, “Okay!”
The truth is, the Law of Attraction is incredibly EASY to use once you know how! It’s just a matter of learning how to think, feel and act differently than you have been used to doing for most of your life. A period of adjustment is absolutely necessary - just like adopting ANY new habit! Don’t expect yourself to get it perfect right away. Simply work at improving your thoughts, emotions and expectations a little at a time, moment by moment. You may think that small changes won’t create big results, but I assure you they can!
Eventually you’ll reach a point where you pause, look back and marvel at how much your life has changed, just because you were willing to take it a step at a time.

It’s pretty obvious that prosperity can promote peacefulness in our lives. When we have enough money, we automatically feel happy, calm, secure and comfortable. Financial lack, on the other hand, brings along unsettling feelings of anxiety, worry, fear, and chaos.
However, did you know that you can also use a peaceful mind-set to attract greater prosperity into your life? It’s a simple matter of changing the way you view your financial situation!
Here’s how to do it:
To develop a truly peaceful state of mind, you’ll need to work at it daily. I recommend setting aside 10 or 15 minutes to start, but you can gradually increase the time if you want to. Find a quiet place where you won’t be disturbed, and spend a few minutes first relaxing your body and quieting your thoughts. You can also put on some soothing music, light scented candles or incense, or anything else that helps you feel relaxed.
Once you feel calm and centered, bring to mind an image of yourself feeling very calm, peaceful and content with your financial situation. There are many ways to envision this scenario, but here are a few ideas to get you started:
- See yourself living day to day without any financial concerns. Imagine how you would feel if you had all the money you could ever want, and how that feeling would change the experiences of your life.
- See yourself living in a beautiful, big house, driving a brand new car, wearing beautiful clothing, and so on. Imagine how you would feel having plenty of time and money to do the things you really love.
- Imagine yourself paying your bills with ease each month. See yourself writing checks with pleasure and confidence, knowing that you have plenty of money to pay for your living expenses and anything else you need or want.
The specifics of these visions don’t matter so much as the FEELINGS you experience while you engage with them. Consciously calling up feelings of peacefulness, contentment and happiness in relation to your financial situation will automatically attract greater prosperity into your life! Rather than putting forth an energy signal of panic, worry and lack, you’ll be communicating to the universe that all is well in your financial world, and the universe will nod and make it so.
In addition, be sure you place yourself into this type of peaceful state before you do anything relating to your financial situation physically. Be sure not to pay your bills while you’re feeling frustrated or anxious - ONLY while you’re feeling relaxed and happy. The same thing goes for making large purchases or signing a contract. Peace and harmony must precede any kind of financial activity, or else you’re going to attract situations and experiences you don’t want.
For best results, you’ll want to do a peacefulness meditation not only before you engage in financial activities, but also several times a day! If you don’t have a lot of time to devote to it, try aiming for 3 five-minute sessions a day. You can do these mini-meditations nearly anywhere; simply close your eyes, take a few deep breaths and call up images of peacefulness and prosperity.
The more you do this, the more powerful energy you lend to the creation of exactly that circumstance.

Wow, I have to share today’s ‘Note from the Universe’ with you; it’s awesome:
Don’t worry about your “negative” thoughts, Wendy. They’re par for the course in the jungles of time and space. Change them when you can, but when they overrun you, let them run. Because no matter how persistent they are, you can always spend just 5 minutes a day, in a quiet place, doing your best to imagine your dreams as if they’ve already come true; seeing yourself happy, laughing, smiling from ear to ear. This will be enough, it’s always enough, even if while you’re imagining, the negative thoughts creep in. After 5 minutes, leave it alone.
You’re in time and space for one reason: to thrive. There’s no 50/50 about it.
You are OF the Creator, BY the Creator, and now a Creator yourself, alive on a stage YOU designed for your own adventures. You were not an afterthought and you didn’t design it to just eek by. All of the elements are beholden to you; you summoned them, you dreamed them into place, and now they conspire endlessly in your favor. “On a dime” your life can improve for the better with the slightest effort on your part, no matter how insurmountable the odds, nor how futile your thoughts and deeds may seem. You are “the prodigal child.” In a heartbeat you’re welcomed back into the fold. In an instant you can be carried along by life’s current once you stop struggling against it. And for all of these reasons, and more, it’s therefore as if your positive thoughts are 10,000 times more powerful than your negative thoughts. 10,000 times more in alignment with the magnificent tidal wave of energy that you are. 10,000 times more likely to become the things you want than the things you don’t want, when you know these truths and you act on them.
Yeah, coolness.
The Universe
LOVE these ‘Notes from the Universe’! Sometimes they bring a tear to my eye, sometimes they give me chills, and sometimes they make me shoot coffee out of my nose because I’m laughing so hard.

Do you struggle with a lack of confidence where the Law of Attraction is concerned? It’s a common problem that many people have - especially at the beginning when they’re just learning how to use their power as conscious creators!
However, a strong level of confidence is crucial simply because your confidence level is a direct reflection of your inner beliefs. Since the Law of Attraction is guided by your beliefs, low confidence means uncertain results!
In order to boost your attraction abilities and create better results, you need to have confidence in three key areas:
1) Self-confidence.
Do you believe that you are a powerful creator in your own right? Really? Or do you still see yourself as a victim, at the mercy of both internal and external factors that are out of your control? Do you often feel overwhelmed or frightened by your circumstances? If so, you don’t really believe in your own ability to change them!
To turn this around, begin working daily on affirming your own power as a deliberate creator. Remind yourself that your own thoughts, beliefs and emotions are what attract your circumstances, and you have the power to choose those - ALWAYS!
2) Confidence in a loving universe.
Do you often feel like the universe is working against you? Do you believe you have “bad luck?” Do you feel like you’re being punished for some forgotten karmic debt? The perception of an angry, judgmental universe (or “God”) is something that many of us received when we were growing up. The problem with this perception is that it keeps us feeling like we have to walk around on eggshells lest we trigger a wrath of punishment and suffering for our transgressions!
In order to overcome this limiting perception, begin changing the way you see the universe. Imagine that the universe is kind, loving and supportive of you and your dreams. Affirm that you’ve got a host of angels, enlightened beings, or simply a loving God cheering you on, wanting you to be happy. The more you work at shifting your perception of the universe to one that is loving and kind, the more confidence you will have that you can be, do or have anything you desire.
3) Trust the process.
Also important is having confidence that the Law of Attraction really does work. At the beginning of your conscious creation journey, you probably won’t believe this. You may WANT to believe it, but you won’t have a strong level of confidence yet. Once you begin seeing the proof with your own eyes, your confidence level will soar!
In the meantime, one good way to begin building greater confidence and trust in the process is to embrace a bit of “active faith.” Simply CHOOSE to believe that the Law of Attraction works. If doubts pop up (and they probably will), simply affirm that you are setting them aside for now and continue to choose to believe anyway. It may take practice, but the more you do this, the more easily you’ll start to TRULY believe.
Confidence is really all about believing. It’s about knowing, deep in your heart that you are a powerful creator with the ability to turn your life into anything you desire. The more you believe it, the more you’ll see evidence of it in every area of your life!

Several years ago, I developed an irrational fear of my mailbox. At the time I was struggling through severe financial difficulties, and it seemed like each day’s mail delivery brought new “horrors” in the form of mounting bills, late notices, shut-off notices, and general bad news.
Eventually I learned how to turn that trend around and begin attracting greater prosperity into my life, but I was surprised to discover one day that I still clenched up in fear and anxiety every time I went to check the mail - or even walked past my mailbox! By this time I was well-versed in the power of the Law of Attraction when it comes to abundance, so I knew that my waves of mail-related anxiety weren’t serving me - in fact, they threatened to send me right back to the Land of Lack!
I decided it was time to have a “love affair” with my mailbox.
Each morning when I awoke, I’d visualize my mailbox bursting with checks, gifts, and good news. I’d imagine myself feeling lighthearted and happy as I went to check the mail, and jumping excitedly up and down as I received my abundance each day.
Before I went to check the mail each day, I’d be sure to get myself into a state of joy and enthusiasm for the “goodies” that would be delivered that day - even if I wasn’t sure what the day’s mail would hold. I made sure NEVER to check the mail when I was feeling tired, irritable or lack-focused in any way.
The result? It was like a tidal wave of goodness came crashing into my mailbox! I started receiving unexpected checks, rebates, free gifts from companies I had purchased from before, and so on. I even received an unexpected refund from my insurance company because I had overpaid without knowing it!
All of this great stuff just came rushing forth because I altered the energy I was emitting regarding my mailbox. Rather than attracting negative things, I began attracting more positive things - even things I couldn’t possibly have imagined!
Has your mailbox developed an ominous aura too? Do you cringe when you reach for your mail, worrying about the latest “horrors” that await you?
It’s time to turn the tides of lack into a tidal wave of prosperity!
Here’s how to do it:
1) First, as described above, begin visualizing your mailbox holding only GREAT stuff! Imagine receiving unexpected checks and gifts in the mail, and feeling calm and confident about any bills you receive. Know that you always have enough money to pay them. Create a warm glow of peacefulness and joy when it comes to your mailbox. Do this every day until you no longer feel anxious or fearful about what the mail will bring.
2) Before you go check the mail each day, be sure to get yourself into a state of high, strong, positive emotion. Generate feelings of excitement, joy, happiness, and love. Allow yourself to feel calm, peaceful and confident that the mail will hold only good things each day.
3) If you do happen to receive something negative (like a collection notice or a bill you can’t pay yet), be SURE to stay CALM about it. Simply affirm that it will all work out for the best, you will have the money to pay your bills on time, and so on. Avoid investing any negative emotional energy to what you don’t want (more lack)! Stay with your positive emotions, no matter how much willpower it might require at the beginning.
4) It’s also helpful to open “gateways” through which prosperity can enter your life, if possible. As I described above, the universe can find plenty of ways to deliver greater prosperity into your life, both expected and unexpected! However, your results may be quicker if you take action to help the process along. Possible gateways might include: buying a lottery ticket, applying for a better job, entering contests, sending in rebate requests for recent purchases, and so on.
5) Give it time to work. Remember that you’re constantly experiencing a residual effect of your previous thoughts, emotions, and expectations so don’t be surprised if this process takes a few days to turn around. However, know that it CAN turn around immediately too! It all depends on the intensity of positive energy and belief you devote to it.
Remember, what you focus on EXPANDS! The more positive thoughts and emotions you can direct toward your mailbox - or any area of your life - the more positive results you’re going to see there.

Have you ever considered the power of synchronicity when it comes to the Law of Attraction? Most often synchronicity is described as being the opposite of coincidence - coincidences being random and meaningless, and synchronicity being divinely orchestrated.
You may even be able to remember specific experiences that were spooky the way they unfolded? Like narrowly missing being involved in a car accident because you were delayed a few minutes when leaving work; or meeting the love of your life at your local coffee shop when you stopped in unexpectedly.
These types of events can make you ponder the concepts of free will and destiny for sure!
However, experiences like these don’t have to be random. You can learn to not only attract more of them into your life but use them to enhance your attraction abilities too.
That’s what happened to me when I first began to explore conscious creation more deeply. I had purchased a stack of books on the subject, and was slowly working my way through them. I kept them on a small bookshelf near my bed. One particular evening I was feeling overwhelmed and frustrated because I couldn’t seem to work through some inner blockages. I decided to forget all this Law of Attraction stuff and instead do some light reading and go to bed early. As I reached for the Dean Koontz novel I was currently reading, I suddenly felt like my hand was being pushed away from it.
My attention was drawn to the shelf of Law of Attraction books nearby, and my eyes fell on one book in particular that I hadn’t read yet. For no apparent reason, I felt inspired to pick up that book and open to a random page. As I did so, I was amazed to realize that there, on this seemingly “random” page was the answer to my current blockage! From that moment on I was able to turn around my efforts and make tremendous progress.
This experience may sound hard to believe - or even downright “weird” - but it’s much more common than you may think! When you pay attention to your inner guidance and allow it to lead you, all kinds of wonderful and amazing things can happen.
If you’re ready to start using synchronicity more consciously in your own life, try these three steps:
1) Listen to your intuition.
Begin by spending time in meditation each day. Even 10 or 15 minutes is fine, but you can gradually increase the time if you wish. Sit or lie quietly and focus on calming your body and quieting your mind. Turn your attention inward and pay attention to your inner self. The more you do this, the more sensitive you’re going to become to your intuitive insights - and the more easily you’ll recognize when you’re being prompted!
2) Follow your heart and gut!
Several times throughout the day while you’re going about your usual activities, turn your attention inward again and notice if you’re being nudged in any particular direction. You might get a feeling that you shouldn’t do something you were going to do, or you may feel prompted to do something you weren’t considering before. Listen to these insights and follow where they lead!
3) Weirdness is a sign!
Synchronicity almost always shows up as something strange or eerie in some way. For example, you might dream that you’re reading a book with a green cover and have a sense that it contains powerful information. When you wake up from that dream you might feel a strong urge to visit your local bookstore. If you do, you’d likely stumble across a book (perhaps with a green cover!) that can help you on your current journey. Sometimes the way synchronicity arrives will seem to make no sense at all - but pay attention to it anyway!
The more you work with your intuition and be on the lookout for synchronicity, the more you’ll find yourself being led to the right place at the right time. This can involve not only opportunities to advance your knowledge but also inspired actions that will usher in the circumstances you’ve been dreaming of!

Well hellooooooo there! :-) Yes, I know I’ve been slacking on this blog again! LOL
It’s for good reason though - I’ve been busy laying the groundwork for my 2008 goals. I’ve gotten a lot accomplished and I’m ready to get rolling! How about you? Have you set some goals that get your heart fluttering and blood pumping? And have you formed a clear plan to keep you on track? It may seem like a lot of work to do that in the beginning, but it’s really worth it!
One of my major goals for this year is to make things EASY and FUN.
I did a TON of work on my beliefs and expectations in 2007, and it dawned on me that I tend to make things more difficult than they really have to be. Chalk it up to my “Type A” personality. LOL
But if there’s one thing I’ve seen evidence of over and over in my life, it’s that you get what you EXPECT!
For most of the early part of my life I was a “doom and gloom” kind of person. Everything was difficult, nothing ever worked out like I wanted it to, and it seemed like I was fighting a constant uphill battle. I used to whine constantly about how “HARD” everything was for me! Little by little I’ve managed to change those perceptions simply by choosing to believe something else.
Lately though, I’m convincing myself that everything is smooth, easy and fun. And guess what? It IS! It’s actually funny when you start playing with the concepts and see the proof happening in your own life.
A few weeks ago I went shopping with my husband at Staples for a grab-bag gift for his company Christmas party, and I took another step in the direction of ease and fun! I bought an Easy Button. Have you seen those? Staples sells them as a promotional gimmick - but I just LOVE the idea of having an “easy button” because sometimes we make everything in life seem so hard. Why not make it EASY?
My Easy Button now holds a place of honor on my desk. Every time I press it, a male voice pipes up and says, “That was easy.” I LOVE IT!
Even if you don’t have an Easy Button, why not develop an easy button mind-set anyway? Life is what you decide to make it!
Here’s what I *E-X-P-E-C-T* for YOU and ME in 2008:
- Fun and ease.
- Passion and purpose.
- Consistent progress.
- Excitement and enthusiasm.
- Massive abundance.
- Illumination.
- Ever greater power and focus.
I could go on and on, but that should keep you busy for the next 365 days or so.
Best of success to you in the New Year!
