Favorite Definition of Abundance

Webster may not agree, but this is a definition of abundance I heard awhile back and I love it and it's something I am going to be meditating on more as I continue to create the Life I Love!

ABUNDANCE: The ability to do what you need to do when you need to do it.

There is no formula to how and it says nothing about money.

To me that is in the Spirit of "give us this day our daily bread", don't fret over tomorrow live in abundance where you stand currently. Sometimes I think I don't have enough money, time, resources to take me the distance over the next five years. Then a voice says to me, but do you have enough today? Do you have just enough or do you have MORE than enough today? Usually I have an overflowing amount for the day, the next day and the week. Do I honestly think that God won't provide for me the next week, month or year? Of course not, the same way I have been sustained all these years is the same way I will be in the future. Realize that where you are Right Now you are overflowing with an Abundant amount of anything you want and need. Right.Now.

ABUNDANCE: The ability to do what you need to do when you need to do it.

Isn't that so true? Most people I know don't really need to have a million dollars in the bank and live in a mansion. What most people I talk to want, is a sense of security, a sense of being comfortable enough to provide for oneself and for loved ones. If you knew everyday you would have enough to do what you needed to do on a daily basis would that be enough? Isn't it such a great thought to know the days you wanted to just lay on the couch and relax that all you would need to feel abundant is a safe place to rest your head, time and a soft couch? While other days if you wanted to start the charity of your dreams you then too would have all the finances and resources you needed during that time? It's such exciting news and the best part about it is it's true. Most of us are leaving Amazingly Abundant Lives and don't even realize it!

Makes me wanna do an Abundance Dance!

Join me won't you ;o)

As you move through this holiday season and the rest of your year, begin to observe the places in your life that are full and abundant. Dwell on these things and give Thanks and watch your world expand to become even more abundant.

Lot's of Love!

We don’t see things the way they are, we see things the way WE are.

We don’t see things the way they are, we see things the way WE are.

Ever wake up on the wrong side of the bed and from the moment forward EVERYTHING seems to go wrong. You stub your toe on the bed, you look horrible in your clothes, the weather isn’t right. Even if it’s a sunny day outside, you squint your eyes annoyed at how bright it is. On the other hand, ever get a promotion, or been in love, or heard a song that has strong nostalgic value of a wonderful time in your life? The birds seem to chirp, rainbows appear and if a friend comes to you with a story of misfortune you are able to see the bright side right away to help bring them out of their misery.

The point is the sun will rise, the sun will set, there will be sunny days and cloudy days that’s for certain. The thing that changes day to day is how we interpret the things happening around us. Depending on our moods, a rainy day can be a nuisance or a fun excuse to frolic outside.

When we are in a certain mind set we tend to Frame things that are in correlation with that mindset. That is where the term “looking through rose colored glasses” comes from. When we are in a good mood we are looking through those good mood glasses all day long.

This is good news because when we find ourselves seeing everything in a negative light we have the power to change it. Just by pulling our thoughts into the awareness that we are creating the suffering things will automatically change. The facts will remain facts, but how you react to them will be different and how you Feel about them will change.

Recently, one of my very best friends had her moving truck stolen. Can you imagine!?!? ALL of your belongings gone in a moment, just like that. Talk about a violation! My pet peeve is when bad things happen to good people and I was just completely distraught over the news. When she wrote me she expressed of course her dismay, but in the same sentence wrote that it was “just stuff” and that she felt fortunate that the criminals didn’t harm her or her fiancé! She is such a super hero cosmic warrior! You can do the same? A fact is a fact, her stuff was gone and that sucks. She wasn’t in denial; the truth was the truth. The truth also was that she has the love of her life, her health and well being and NO ONE can take THAT away. She just as easily could have fallen apart over material things but instead framed the situation to where she could see how she actually came out on top.

Can you think of situations that were truly difficult, but if framed differently, you may not have felt so bad about the outcome?

Keep this in mind the next time you find yourself saying, “NOTHING is going right for me today”. When that thought crosses your mind, quickly make a mental list of all the things that are going oh so right for you. You can always start off with, how it easy it was for you to take the breath you just took without even having to think about it, what a blessing. Go from there.

Remember: We don’t see things the way they are, we see things the way WE are.

How are you going to show up today?

Ouch...Needed This!

Sometimes, when you don't know the answer to a question that keeps playing over and over again in your mind, it's because you're messing with the wrong question.

Sparkle Dust

Thinking different thoughts than you have ever thought before, DUST SPARKLES, is the only path to answers, healing, new epiphanies, or anything that glitters.

And you know how FANTASTICAL GLITTER is…

Sometimes, when you’re feeling your lowest, PETUNIA PUFFS, the real you is summoned. And you understand, maybe for the first time ever, how grand you are, because you discover that vulnerable doesn’t mean powerless, scared doesn’t mean lacking in beauty, and uncertainty doesn’t mean that you’re lost.These realizations alone will set you on a journey that will take you far beyond what you used to think of as extraordinary.

There is always a bright side.

So Right On...

When you start discovering a pattern of behavior that brings you anything other than peace, you have to change the pattern. To do so, we have to be willing to do two things: You've got to be willing to give up everything you believe that you need, and you've got to be willing to do the work to get along without it. - Iyanla Vanzant

Count Your Lucky Stars - TS

If there was an event that was so super-extraordinary, so rare, and so fantastically incredible that it only happened ONCE every 7 to 10 BILLION years, PIXIE POOFS, it would still be infinitely more ordinary, routine, and credible than the passage of today.

InfiNITeLy.

Count your lucky stars, The Universe

Good news from the Universe!

It really is easy, You really are powerful. I really do love you.

You can have it all. You will live forever. And the best is yet to come.

You’re already rich. There’s more on the way. It’s closer than you think.

There’ve been no mistakes. You’ve never been judged. And all things are playing out in your favor.

Cheers to you,

The Universe

Message from the Universe (according to T.Smith)

Actually, smiling or laughing for no reason at all is one of the best reasons to smile or laugh. Because doing either, turns wheels in the unseen, rearranges players in your life, and summons reason after reason after reason.

Grins,

Watch Out For That Ego!!!

What Surprises the Dalai Lama the Most About Humanity?

When asked what surprised him most about humanity, the Dalai Lama answered “Man. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived."

The Echo of Life

A father and son were walking in the mountains. Suddenly, the boy fell and screamed loudly. To his surprise, he heard his voice repeating somewhere in the mountain:

“AAAhhhhhhhhhhh!” Curious, he shouted again: “Who are you?” He received an answer: “Who are you?” And then he screamed to the mountain: “I admire you!” The voice answered: “I admire you!” Angered at the response, he screamed: “Coward!” He received the reply: “Coward!”



He looked at his father and asked what was happening. The father smiled and said: “My son, pay attention and he shouted at the top of his voice: “You are a champion!” The voice echoed: “You are a champion!” The boy was surprised, but still did not understand. Then the father explained:

“People call this ECHO, but really this is LIFE.” It gives you back everything you say or do. Our life is simply a reflection of our actions. If you want more love in the world, create more love in your heart. This relationship applies to everything, in all aspects of life; Life will give you back everything you have given to it.”

What Plan B?

"I tattooed my body so I couldn’t fall back on anything. I purposely did that so I couldn’t get a normal job and live a normal life. I did it so I had to play music." Travis Barker from Blink 182.





THAT is how you "Act As If...." That's how I'm trying to be. Sometimes we use our "back up plan" as a crutch and we never propel ourselves to the next level...think about it...

HILLs and Valleys: Study and Mastership

WORDS OF WISDOM! Please watch, absorb, then live it! I'm taking it back to basics and starting to LIVE all the of TRUTH I know to be true.

As they say "There is a world of difference between knowing what to do and actually doing it..."







Old video, old ideas, taking it to a new place...

"...have courage to follow your heart and intuition...."

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

How'd You Do That? Manifest It!

Every generation has a limit to what it believes can be real. At one point we thought the world was flat, that it was impossible to fly or that putting a man on the moon was impossible.

The same thing can be said about how other people perceive you when you have a vision or a dream.

Not everyone will see it. Many will doubt it. In the beginning almost none will help make it happen.

But the magic lies in this: KNOWING, AFFIRMING and BELIEVING that your inner world creates your outer world. The thoughts and vision you are thinking about creating the life of your dreams, are the blueprints of your eventual success.
When you are inspired, don’t seek the approval of other people before you begin taking action. Just take action and produce results. You will learn from the action you take and if you take consistent and daily action eventually you will begin to show positive results.

When you show positive results, instead of other people saying, “Ah, that impossible”, they’ll start to ask you, “How’d you do that?”

Allowing the Flow in February

That is this Months Theme:

Ideas on how to live in the Flow:

Write a Daily Dream Script of Your Life. Everyday write down exactly what a day in the life of you would be like if you had all the money in the world, all the time in the world, access to whatever you wanted etc. Update it like a journal everyday and take inspired action as opportunities arise. *Bonus- look back at your February 2011 entries in February 2012 and see what has come to manifest itself!

Daily Gratitude list of Things you are thankful for. I always do this in my head, but in February I'm putting it down in writing. Join me won't you! There is something about the act of writing. You are physically forming the letters with your body (using a writing instrument of course) you are visually seeing what you are writing and you are thinking about the concepts you are writing. It's a fully creative moment that will surely manifest more of the things you are grateful for just by writing them down.

Come up with a Monthly Mantra. What will it be this month!? Living Full Out? Allowing My Light To Shine?, Allowing Creativity to Flow? All of those and more!? Great, figure out what it will be this month and meditate on it in the mornings, while in your car, while walking, before you go to sleep, let your Personal Mantra this month take you to the next level!

Exhibit Excellence in Your Current Situation. It's so easy to write your script of your dream life, and forget your present. So while you are creating your fabulous future, show up as a rock star right now in your current situation. So if you are at a job you don't like, studying something that doesn't interest you or are just eager for the next stage in life (cause it will be awesome..) try to focus on being the best You you can be Right Now, as nothing will shift your reality more. I've been so excited about things to come that I have forgotten about my current task at hand that I actually enjoy and it deserves my full energy and attention as well. So this month let's be present for the tasks at hand WHILE we create our dream lives as well.

Continue to Allow the Flow This February!!

I found my February Mantra!

2nd Timothy 1:7

For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.


Hope this helps someone out there. Does anyone have a different mantra for Allowing the Flow in February?
