Remember to Wonder

Sometimes I have to remember to wonder instead of worry. This is frustrating because I know the benefits of wondering, not worrying, but I get sucked into worry very easily.

An organization whose writing I like to follow is The Field Center. They used to have a blog called Realities. They don't publish that any more, sorry to say. I miss it. In one old blog entry, the writer talkes about health and how we always think there is something wrong with the body if it has a temp or some aches & pains. He's saying we always think the worst when that’s hardly ever the case. Maybe something is right - not wrong. The body knows how to take care of itself. Don’t jump to the worst possible scenario.

Here's the quote in a piece called The Meanings of Life (22 February, 2010):
“…we seem eager to identify with problems. The mind would rather connect the dots of meaning to draw a picture that we don’t want than sit quietly without conclusions in the thin air of uncertainty.”


I like this phrase “the thin air of uncertainty”. Uncertainy affirms the fact that there is something I don’t know or understand - YET. Conversations With God uses a similar phrase: There may be something that I do not know now, the knowing of which may change everything.

The fact remains – I fall for it all the time. Some situation bubbles into my awareness, and I DON’T keep an open mind, I DON’T even stop to weigh alternatives. I just jump right into the negative bushes. Totally off the track of any possibility of being in the vibrational range of pleasant circumstances happening.

I would like to be so in tune with the Universe that I don’t jump to dark conclusions. I would like to allow my mind the freedom to wonder about a topic instead of jumping to conclusions. Wonder gets me closer to a fuller understanding of the situation. Wonder is productive.

The fact is, I really don’t know very much. Here are two big areas where I really don’t know anything:

1. I hardly ever know what’s going on inside my body. My doctor discovered the beginnings of high blood pressure. I never felt a thing! No one does who has this condition. There are many things going on in the body all the time that we’re totally unaware of. Most of that stuff is HEALTHY. It’s not an indication of disease, necessarily. It IS an indication to pay attention to my body more!

2. I can never really know anyone else’s thoughts and motivations. I can only observe the person’s outward actions and infer from that what I think they must be thinking. How many times do I draw the wrong conclusions about someone else? Lots!

The phrase, “What were you thinking?” is really only ever a question for myself. And sometimes that’s cloudy, too. Sometimes I’m in the Muddy Waters of Thought. Quagmired in a totally unproductive state.

I HAVE TO REMEMBER TO WONDER - NOT WORRY.

Future Wonders or Wonder Forward

Here’s one of my current wonders about my future.

I wonder about…retirement. I have options. Will I continue to live in Connecticut? I could move South. I could be a snowbird and travel between here and there. Should I do it now or wait? I don’t mind working here. I have friends and I have access to so many resources. I am looking forward to doing what I want to do. I could sleep late and stay up late. I could join a health club and exercise there. The possibilities are endless. I could write more. I could make new friends. What will my life be like then? I wonder….

Can I plan to wonder? Probably, why not? Maybe instead of, or in addition to, meditation time, I’ll create wonder time. Just turn my mind lose and see what happens. I’ll report back when something WONDER-FUL happens as a result!

To wonder productively, remember to keep an open mind. Don’t jump to conclusions. Steer clear of negative thoughts, because then you’re worrying.

Wonder-up some stuff of your own. Of course there’s a process!

The process is called Wouldn’t It Be Nice If:
(get the pen or pencil and paper or journal page)

Write your topic that you want to wonder about at the top.
Under that write “Wouldn’t it be nice if:”

Write down all the best things that could possibly happen in relation to this topic. No matter how outrageous they may be. If fact the wilder they are, the better because you don’t want to limit yourself or the Universe here.

Wonder freely…
Record your Wondering in a Creative Journal:

Can you entertain yourself?

Some games are fun to play by yourself. Maybe you can devise a way to do the following games in a group or with another person, but when no one else is available, you can play by yourself.

1. Find coins. Set your intention on finding pennies.
When this becomes so obviously easy that you are seeing them everywhere, move up to nickels, then dimes and quarters.
These you will find on the ground.
The next step is to find dollar bills. You may find some on the ground also, but now you want to set your intention higher and find them in other places ($’s off coupons, in birthday cards, in pants pockets, etc).
The next step is to set a desired amount to manifest.
Start with $10, and when this is easy, move up to $25, then in $25 increments.
Soon you will be manifesting $100’s, and it won’t be difficult at all.

2. This game I made up after hearing the song I’m already there by Lonestar:

Im already there
Take a look around
Im the sunshine in your hair
Im the shadow on the ground
Im the whisper in the wind
Im your imaginary friend
And I know Im in your prayers

Oh Im already there

Here’s the gist of the game: Get out your dream, your desire, your passion, your object of creation – whatever you want to call it.
Dust it off and imagine IT as the love of your life that you are singing to. Now imagine IT’S already here. Take a look around, what do I see?
Describe it a little. What do you see in your imagination when you picture this thing already in your reality? How do you feel?

I feel like I’m so close to IT that it’s my sunshine, my shadow, my whisper on the wind, my friend, the prayer on my lips. IT and I are that close. IT’S already here and I’m already there with IT!

How good does that feel?

3. The Board Room game. I can’t take credit for inventing this one, but I don’t remember where I found it either.
This is all done in your vivid imagination.
Create a board room with a table and chairs.
Invite in some representatives.
These should be people that you feel will have something informative to say to you about your current creation. They can be people who are alive today, or people from history.
Consciously invite each one into the Board Room and watch them take their places.
Explain why you invited each one in particular.
Explain what you would like their advice on and why.
Imagine their responses.
Listen closely. Take some notes. These pieces of advice will be very valuable to you later on. Close the meeting by thanking each one and watch them exit.
Congratulate yourself for forming the perfect team to address your topic.
Now you can leave the Board Room also.

You have in your possession some wisdom from each one of these people that you can use in relation to your life and your current reality.
This is AWESOME! Where else would you get advice from the likes of Nelson Mandela, Donald Trump or Mark Twain?

Law of Attraction Games

Maybe you call them processes. These games will have lasting consequences if you choose that outcome. The lasting affects will be a lift in the way you feel (your vibe) and a releasing of resistance.

Here’s a thought: You could become addicted to these game and people will congratulate you. Why? Because the good vibes they generate for you will reach out and influence others. You just can’t feel good inside without it showing outside.

Play more. Have fun. Let it show.

If you have been following Law of Attraction for a while, I know you know about the money game where you give yourself an ever increasing imaginary amount of money every day and then you have to spend it. It’s fun and it works. I encourage you to play it often.

There are many more games like that. All of them are fun and all of them will help you release resistance and clear the path for focusing positive energy on what you want. Let’s look at some others.

Do you play well with others?

Some things are much more fun when you do them with other people who understand where you’re coming from. You’ll get a big boost to your vibe when you see and hear the participation of others. Here are 3 games you can play with others:

*Name 3 good things in your life right now. Set the WOW factor really high by using expansive words.

*Toasting. What’s happening in your life worthy of a toast? Be as eloquent as you can. Think Academy Awards Introductions, or imitate those silly Celebrity Roasts if it suits you. This doesn’t have to be done with alcohol! Make fancy drinks with fruit juice, or hot beverages with tea or cocoa.

*Chutes and ladders (LoA style). Use the actual board game. This kiddie’s game lends itself well to a Law of Attraction element. When you land on a chute, you must identify an uplifting positive thought that will get you ready to climb again. When you land on a ladder, you must state some appreciative thoughts that allowed you to rise up the ladder.

Coming next – Game you can play alone.

Don't Forget to Wonder

It’s my personal opinion that time spent just sifting through possibilities is very productive. Here’s why:

Wonder is the opposite of worry.
What’s really going on in there when my mind is just drifting with no real purpose? I’m sure there are studies about brain wave activity that would tell me if I looked for them. To me it feels light and free-floating. No pressure, no stress, definitely not worrying.

Wonder is an opportunity for insight.
When I'm drifting like that, I’ve had times when a sudden thought will just zing in there like an arrow out of the blue. I didn’t think it on purpose, but there it is right in front of me - A NEW THOUGHT – wow!

The last time it happened, the thought was…I can be pre-creative.
Here’s what I mean by that: These 2 things I already know:
1. I create my own reality.
2. Time is a relative construct (I’m not going into detail on this thought now. If it’s unfamiliar to you, please Google it.)

So, it’s possible for me to pre-create solutions for myself BEFORE I need them. Like a library book on a shelf. The solution can be already there before the problem arises. I’m working with this now, but I’ve already had a couple of neat experiences. I’ll write about those later.
Being "pre-creative" is probably not a new thought, but it’s new to me and I’m having fun with it.

Wonder will prompt an answer to my questions about almost anything.
This is something else I’ve experienced. My mind is just idling along, and I think of some question, like …why is such & such happening? I’ll usually get an answer. Not life-changing, but it’s interesting enough to please me.

Here’s an example of that. A few weeks ago, the members of my group started to talk about creating a trip to Hawaii that would include all of us. Sounds like fun. The next day I started seeing Hawaiian things like clothes, recipes, magazine articles. Then that was it. Hawaii stopped showing up for me.

When I wondered why, I got the answer. Here is is: The extent to which I was really invested in the idea of taking this trip was already exhausted.

I have to agree. It was a fun idea, but I wasn't committed to it.

There you go – kind of an inconsequential question, but Wonder produced an honorable answer.

Support Others

Applaud other people's work!

As you build LoA support for youself, you will encounter many opportunities to support others. Building synergistic relationships is a great way for all of us to grow together.
While creating my own LoA lifestyle, I have met many other creative individuals who are expressing their unique talents.
This is Avarelle/Helen. She's an amazing writer.

Feel better Fast!

I got this from the Powerful Intentions Forum, and I thought I would share Gellan Lee's writing here:

FEEL GOOD About Yourself!
(it’s one ingredient toward reaching your goals)

Abraham often says, “Learn to FEEL BETTER”
By Gillan Lee on October 14, 2010 at 12:52am in Powerful Intentions Main Forum

Step 1 :
List five words to describe yourself. The trick - do not describe any physical features and use any words other than "nice"! Some creative words to choose from could be hardworking, loving, easy going or unique. Just list anything that makes you feel good.

Step 2 :
Praise people for what they can do, not just how they look. Compliment a friend, a family member, a spouse or anyone today on something other than his/her appearance. ( it's one of the way to say and feel thankful about anything.)

Step 3 :
Try to ask an older sister, mom, cousin, aunt or your grandma how she felt about her appearance when she was about your age. What does she know now that she wishes she'd know then? Compare what she said with your past-experiences. ( this is the part where you learn a thing or two about feeling good. Every process has steps that needs to be taken yea?)

Step 4 :
Tell your family and friends about your accomplishments. When you accomplish something you're really proud of - whether it's passing a tough test or finishing a winning soccer season -that'swhen you're at your most beautiful. Give yourself a pat on the back! Call a grandparent or e-mail a favorite aunt to share the news. Celebrate with family and friends. ( when you tell, you're not bragging but sharing the joy. This is the part where all good vibes is produced. Grab it.)

Step 5:
Limit your face time. It's OK to give yourself a once-over in the mirror before you head out in the morning.
 Face washed?
 Fly zipped?
 Hair not standing straight up (unless you like it that way)?
Step 6 :
Don't obsess about your appearance. It's fine to want to see what's changing and to daydream about who you're becoming. But spending too much time in front of the mirror - or peeking at your reflection in every mirror you pass - is not worth it. You've got better things to do!

Step 7 :
. When your friend says,"You look great," don't brush her off with "I think these pants make me goofy." Just say "Thanks," and let the words sink in. ( The art of feeling thankful.)

Step 8 :
Celebrate taking care of yourself. Take time today to pamper your skin with great-smelling soap to lotion. Clean and cut your nails. (Focus on YOU.)

Step 9 :
Give your body respect, and you'll get respect from the rest of the world, too. Even if you wake up feeling lousy - or just lazy - wash your face, comb your hair, brush your teeth, and get dressed in your favorite jeans and t-shirt. ( Vital to feel as if you're on top of the world every morning.)

Step 10 :
List three things you like about your looks. When you're having a bad day, focus on what you like about yourself (e.g. I have pretty hazel eyes with dark eyelashes, a gorgeous smile, shiny hair, etc.). (When you shift your mind from those bad things to good things, instantly you'll be smiling)

Step 11 :
Don't waste your time comparing yourself to others. There's no one out there just like you, who was grown up with your experiences and has your talents. Also remember to listen to your body when you play sports. Don't push yourself past your body's limits, even if you're told to toughen up. Your instincts will tell you when to stop. (Others don't decide where you will be, it is YOU.)

Step 12 :
Make meals something special. Even if you're only having cereal with your siblings, create traditions that will make the moment memorable. Set the table. Take turns sharing funny dreams from the night before. At dinner, dim the lights and have your parents light a candle for the table. Enjoy giving yourself the fuel you need and sharing your ideas and feelings with people eating with you.

Step 13 :
Try to change the subject if your friends start talking about their weight or diet. Show them that there are more interesting things to talk about, such as how their soccer team is doing and how old their little golden retriever pup is this month. ( You should change the vibes surrounding you. Make it positive.)

Step 14 :
Know that it's OK not to feel perky or peppy all the time. Sometimes you just have to live with the bad feelings and just know they'll pass. If you feel seriously sad, be sure to talk to an adult who cares about you. Also, when you're in a bad mood, your body knows it. Think about which part of your body gets out of whack when you're crabby or upset. Do you get a stomach ache when you're nervous about a test? Do you get a headache when you feel anxious? If you recognize your body's signals, you may be able to figure out what's bothering you and make yourself feel better.

Step 15 :
Cheer yourself up when needed. If it's daytime, open up the window and let in some fresh air and sunlight. If it's nighttime, put on some clean pajamas and curl up with a favorite book, movie, or CD. Feeling stressed? Take a warm bath or shower. Imagine the water washing away your worries. Also try to create your own peace rituals. When you're angry or stressed out, take three long, slow, deep breaths. Write in your journal. Turn on some of your favorite music. Find ways to calm your spirit, and return to those practices whenever you feel anxious.

Step 16 :
Start a dream list. Find a pretty notebook and write down places you'd like to visit, experiences you'd like to have, people you'd like to meet, and skills you'd like to learn. A dream list is a great start to creating a life filled with fun, adventure, and interesting experiences. Put a box next to each item on your list so you can check it off when it happens. (Vision Board everyone?)

Step 17 :
List all the things you're good at, whether it's math or being funny. If you feel down about yourself, look at the list you've made, and remember - you rock! (Hehehehe.)

Step 18 :
Wear clothes that make you feel good. You know which shirt makes you feel self-conscious and which pants make you squirm. Talk to your mom about why you don't feel good in those clothes and ask if you can give them to charity. Wear your favorite color. If you feel great in it, your confidence will show! If someone teases you about the clothes you wear, shrug it off and say, "Oh well, at least I like them!" Remember: People aren't looking at you or talking about you nearly as much as you think they are. Also try a new `do. Brush your hair, braid it, twist it, and tie it. Experiment! You can express yourself through your appearance and no one way is right. They're allyou.

Step 19 :
Develop your own style. Experiment with clothing to see what makes you feel the best. Some days you might feel girly and fancy - other days you won't! That's OK. This week, visit a clothing store with a friend and pick out five new outfits in colors and styles you'd never consider wearing. Then have fun trying them on! Don't be surprised if something you thought would look awful actually looks good on you. Have a laugh at the ones you don't like.

Step 20 :
Don't care about what other people think. Have you been hurt by words? Remember this: People who insult others usually do it to make themselves be powerful. Know what that means? They're probably insecure. They are the ones who lack confidence, so try not to bend into the pressure to return their jabs with an insult.

Step 21 :
Learn something new. Read a good article about something going on in the world. You will feel like you are knowledgeable about some current events, and it will give you a sense of self-importance. (Confidence baby.)

Step 22 :
Look for the beauty in others and embrace it. Finding beauty in those around you gives YOU a more beautiful spirit.

Step 23 :
Just go for it, take everything that you hate, love, and ignore about yourself, and just love it all. Difficult as it may be just go for it, second guessing is worse than being let down... get out and find out for yourself. Rejection is the first stage to success reiterated in my own words.

Step 24 :
Believe in yourself. Though it may sound cheesy, it actually does make you more confident. Believe that you can accomplish whatever task is at hand. When you finish, you'll feel good because you knew you could do it. So don't give up and try your best.

Useful button

I found a very useful way of adding content from a Click! button. I can reuse the same graphic and it just makes life a little easier. Here's and example:

http://absentcapacity.wordpress.com/2010/07/27/i-agree-with-every-self-limiting-pity-seeking-defeatist-

I used it to send people to the "Interviews Page" and I'm going to use it now to send people to a very interesting blog entry that will hang nicely with "Don't Shoot Yourself in the Foot"

Very useful little item!

Showing up

Doing what I'm doing...being what I'm being. I intend to show up and let the Universe do the heavy lifting.
From Abraham a few days ago: Overwhelmment means I'm not up to speed with my desire. So...Not scaling back my desire means allowing almost everything to be done for me. And who will do it all? Any human resources needed will have to be scheduled by the Universe to also show up when needed.
That's it...I'm taking an EASY day today. But I'm still showing up...

Non-reply-able email

I really dislike email sent from an automated mailer where there is no way for me to reply. I don't do much ranting here or anywhere, but come on, if the sender "cares so deeply" about me, why wouldn't they want to here from me? It just leaves me cold. Not the way to build good customer relations, if you ask me. Which, obviously they have NOT!

This seems like the cyber version of the automated phone call, or the Customer Service line that keeps me on hold for half an hour (or more) before a live person talks to me.

I may not have a big "following" yet, but I hope that when I send out an email there will be SOMEONE (me or another person) with the ability to recieve a reply and respond to it consciously.

What's the best possible thought I have available to me right now on this subject? It lets me know how I DO want to run my site/blog/online business...whatever it is that I end up with where anyone might want to respond to me.

Thank you very much...

ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN IN JULY

My friend, Lynn said that at our Solstice Bonfire on 6/21. We spent some time anticipating upcoming events in July. Well, JULY is here! While making room for ANYTHING to happen, I'm also anticipating:
1 - Perfect new tenants to occupy my vacant apartment.
2 - Choosing JOY over Overwhelment whenever I start to get that "too much to do" feeling.
3 - Relaxing and enjoying the summer.
4 - Tasting a Mint Julep.
5 - Going to picnics and barbeques.

Latest activity

I belong to Powerful Intentions Forums. Yesterday I sent an invitation through that forum for Guest Appearances on my website. One person responded, but today - I can't see my invitaion any more. I wonder what happened to it?. Should I send out another one?

Creative Writing Journal Kit on ebay

I just relisted Kit. If this doesn't seem to be the way to go, I will create a form on the site and ask people to communicate with me that way if they are interested.

Here's the current link to ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260620973371?

(Looks like the ability create a link here doesn't work! You will have to copy/paste to get there from here...)

Tuesday, June 15, 2010

Where am I now?

Just put up another page about how sometimes the journal is like a scrapbook. I like including extra pictures and stickers in my journal because it looks more interesting later on. I also strongly feel that it changes the vibration or the tone of each page. A full page of handwritten text is really boring to look at. Adding some spice with little embellishments is much more interesting.

Not sure what the next topic is yet...maybe it's not a topic but replacing all my references to books with the Amazon link to them.

Creative Journal Writing kit - has been launched to ebay

I received the final printing of the Direction booklet for the journal kit on Saturday, 6/5. I put the finished product up on ebay on Sunday and announced it in several places. I did the final annoucement to facebook yesterday. Here is the ebay link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260615385812

Next step is to create a single page to refer to the ebay link because each time I 'renew' it on ebay, I'll need to change the link. That would be too many page changes to maintain.

Eventually, I'll add a paypal cart to my website and eliminate ebay. For now, ebay is the way I'm going until a few kits are sold.

Clearing the cobwebs

May was an unusually busy month of NOT writing. There was a lot ofstuff that got done, just no new pages - that's terrible.

So, with renewed Prolific Writer status, I begin June.
What I did do last month for the website is join the Hay House Affiliates group and I have put ads on some of my pages. I feel, for now, that I will have more ocntrol over ads, as I can choose ads from their selection myself. This may be a better option for me than Adsense. We shall see!!!!!

I tried to put the link in, but I had a problem with that...See the link on my HOME page at the bottom.

Also, my order for the Journal Writing instruction booklets should arrive today or tomorrow, so then I'll be in set up mode for eBay with that...but I do want to put up a new page before the day is out TODAY

Friday, May 21, 2010

Another Experiment

I just joined an "affiliate" program to put ads on the website. Here again, if I don't like it, I'll just take the ads off. I'm hoping it works out well, because I like the idea of my site generating income. The first link added was for the affiliate group itself at the bottom of the Home Page. That' s the only one I'm able to use so far. The other ones I signed up for all have to review the site and make sure I meet their standards. That's fine with me, as I'll be doing the same with them!

Back from PD workshop

Last week I attended Steve Pavlina's Conscious Growth Workshop in Las Vegas. I found it to be a very valuable experience. Steve has written a book called Personal Development for Smart People ( which is also the name of his blog). He uses the book as a basis for the worshop. The focus is on the principles of Truth, Love, and Power, and how these can be developed in our individual lives. I recommend both the book and the workshop!

http://www.stevepavlina.com/conscious-growth-workshop/

Tuesday, May 11, 2010

Off to Las Vegas!

Yes, I'll be attending Steve Pavlina's Conscious Growth Workshop from 5/14 - 5/16. I'm sure I'll pick up lots of good stuff there. Many people say it's life-changing.
Wow, that would be something!l

Got the Book!

Yay!...but...it does need a couple of tweaks. I DID edit it a gazillion times, but there was still a couple of errors in the text. Plus, the top of my head was cut off in one photo. Can't have that! So it's back to getting it uploaded again and then waiting for the order. But this time I'll order 10 copies because I'll put it on ebay and on the website and announce it on facebook. The whole 9 yards.

Waiting for order to arrive

Still waiting for the directional booklet to arrive so I can decide if this is what I really want. I'm impatient! I'm afraid the time limit for Blurb keeping my file on hand will be up then I'll have to deal with uploading it again...

Success with Booklet

Last post reported Amazing stuff.
Since then I have worked through uploading my material to the Blurb.com website. They have very good support people. We actually had to use a thrid part software for moving the files, but eventually we got through it. I ordered one copy just to be sure I like the look of it before I go ahead and order a whole bunch. I am making progress. Soon the first complete kit will be ready for someone to use. This will be a very BIG day for me. I'm excited about it, and I'm anticipating that I'll really like the booklet when I get it, and then Next Logical Steps will appear for me to take....

Amazing Opportunity!

Amazing opportunity...this is what we used to call, in my prior days with a born-again community...a real bummer!
I just spent about 6 weeks creating my Creative Journal Writing Kit directions booklet in software that doesn't seem to work. At least not yet. I have an ABP out to their support people now.
It's supposed to work like this: You edit your text, you get great pictures, you proof read, edit, proof read, edit, get more, better pictures, juggle the text and pics again, proof read, edit some more, etc, until you can see it in your sleep...then you "upload" it to their site where they will publish it for you.
Well, the UPLOAD part isn't working!!!!!
I tried all their tips & techniques and it still won't work. I outlined all that in my email to their tech support. And I offered to put it all on portable media and snail mail it to them.
That was last night. I'm waiting for a reply. Maybe they have a magic solution up their sleeve that they only tell the Very Frustrated about...
Anyhow, this is an AMAZING OPPORTUNITY to see how the Universe will work this one out to my advantage, because it will happen. I know...All will be well again I know!

Monday, April 19, 2010

Kit creation update

I finally got my little booklet of directions all ready to go and I find I have a TEMPORARY problem uploading it to the publisher. I'm saying temporary because since it's all set now - I've spent countless hour getting it ready, the Universe will pave the way for the upload when I'm in a fresher, non-frustrated frame of mind. I'm sure if I just relax into it, the forces of the Universe will work computer magic and poof! it will just work. Or else, the reason it's not working will be obvious and I'll be able to fix it quickly and easily...we shall see.

Going to Steve Pavlina's workshop

http://www.stevepavlina.com/conscious-growth-workshop/
I've been reading Steve's stuff for years, and I love it. Quite a few of his blog entries have been personally beneficial to me.
So - now I'm all signed up and ready to attend in Las Vegas from 5/14-5/16. I can't wait to meet the other attendees and the Big Guy himself. I'm really excited about it.

MIND TIPPER

What a mind tipper? It fills up the mind with ideas until it can’t hold any more, then tips and spills into a writing whammy that’s insightful, pertinent and great to read.

Picture “I’m a Little Teapot”. (I got that analogy from my friend on Saturday. She “gets me”.) Anyhow, in the image, I’m the teapot being filled up with ideas until I reach the tipping point, when I pour out everything that’s in there.

I had a Mind Tipper experience last week. I’m in the last phases of creating my Creative Journal Writing Kit – as described here. I’m in the planning stages of it’s launch. This launch will be the culmination of many, many steps that I’ve completed along the way from IDEA to PRODUCT.

It occurred to me that when I launch, there are going to be a lot of people who totally do not know the side of me that has been into Law of Attraction for years, never mind what I’ve been up to regarding the whole Law of Attraction Lifestyles website & blog. It’s going to be like coming out of the new age closet.

So the Mind Tipper out-pouring had to do with announcing my coming out. All day I had been casting about, trying to build some momentum for the next topic to write about, but nothing was catching hold. Then I just filled up with the Coming Out idea, and within half an hour, I had that completely written.

That’s a Mind Tipper.

Latest on kit creation

My status last week was that my friend was coming over to take more pictures for the booklet I need to include in my Creative Journal Writing kit .

That happened and it went very well. We created enough shots to illustrate the pages that needed pics. Plus few goofy looking ones that were the result of having fun, so that's good too. I believe I never can have too much fun.

My next steps will be to find the "permission" I got from the Abraham-Hicks people to use quotes from their material. I need to include that in the booklet.

Then send off an order for 1 hard copy so I can physically look at it and feel it in my hands.

That's it for kit creation status.



I'll be doing an entry next on my latest discovery about writing...I plan on doing this TODAY!

Creative Journal Writing Kit - tracking its creation

I'm in the process of creating a kit for sale that will contain everything anyone needs to put together a journal. My website has lots of references to journaling. This is a physical pen & paper deal, not an online journal. It will come in 4 "flavors":
Health
Wealth
Relatonships
Career
(These are the 4 BIG areas of life where we all get our major contrasts.)

The purpose of the kit is to focus in one of these areas to create what you desire.


It includes sheets of paper, quotes from various inspirational LoA leaders to use as writing prompts, a Directions Booklet that will contain tips and techniques. And more "STUFF".


I have a few more details to work out before I actually release it for sale. I'm going to use EBAY at first to test the waters.


Tonight a freind is coming over to take some additional pictures for the Directions Booklet. That will be fun...I anticipate lots of laughs doing that...


Then I'll see what the next step is...

Questions

AND QUESTIONS...I'm also going to send out my questions to the Universe here. I want the WEBSITE to contain the answers on the FAQ page. But here is the question side of it.

Question for today: I’m learning more about maintaining an "ALL IS WELL" vibe.
Am I CONSTANTLY re-creating the vibe? Can’t I stick with it? Somehow?
Practice more. Choose it consistently, maybe?

Awaiting answers on this one...

This is my first post.

I'm diving into the BLOG POOL! Sometimes I'm just going to want to shoot off some quick thoughts. That's what you'll find here: my quick responses to life and my in-the-moment celebrations.

Today's theme for me seems to be expressing myself to the best of my ability, being willing to follow any "leads" the Universe happens to throw my way, and just "Doing it".

Here I am - willingly doing it...

Beginning

My purpose with this blog is to quickly present shorter thoughts without creating a website page.
