Is Your Attention on Your Intention?

Greetings Friends,

How do you desire to feel?
What are you desiring to manifest?
Is your attention fully on your intention?
Or does it frequently get diverted, re-routed and side-tracked?

It's not possible to be looking up while looking down.
We're either advancing in the direction of our dreams,
Or we're retreating from them.
Period.
We're never just doing nothing.
Either our thoughts, and energy is in alignment, or it's not.
It's not rocket science.
It's a law.

The law of attraction.

We're either drawing more of what we desire into our life,
Or we're focusing our attention away from what we desire.
We're either focusing our energy on what we want, or
Leaking our energy on what we do not want.

So where might we be leaking energy?
Unforgiveness
Old hurts
Blame
Expectations
Resentment
Anger, anger, anger
Entitlement
Judgment
Gossip
Bad-mouthing others
Victimhood
Jealousy
Envy

And many more...
All synonymous with a thousand names for
FEAR.

It's important to remember we always
Get to choose what our reaction is to any situation.
We can choose reactions that leak our energy and spend
Non-replaceable minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, even years
Focusing, in minute detail, what's wrong with us, our families, friends,
Communities, country and OUR world.

OR

We can choose
To release habits and behaviors
That distract us from what we really desire to
Create on this journey that we're all on together.
This journey of sizzling adventure in which our daily choice
To create a personal heaven or hell has implications beyond
What any of us can ever possibly comprehend.


It's all about choice
About taking a stand
And making a decision
To proactively dare2create
A life we love and a world we
Desire to live in-- Right here, right now
Today.

It's about courage,
Courage to explore
With rigorous honesty
What we're holding onto
that is taking up precious space
For that which we truly desire to manifest.

It's not just about us,
It's about answering a call
To create a world of changing
Consciousness... to create a world
In which we use the resources we each
Have... our minds, our thoughts, to build
And usher in an uncharted, unprecedented
Era of co-operation, love, truth, freedom and peace...

And it begins with the choice to choose
Peace within each of our souls at this very second.

Because if it's possible for one then it's possible for
Us all as we are ONE... one mind, one consciousness
And the time has come, as the Walrus said, to begin with
The end in mind.


So here's to freeing up space!
To the great uncluttering of the mind
Here's to rigorous honesty and courage
To look at what's keeping us from what we truly desire...
To willingness to discard what might have been hanging out for eons.
To living in alignment with what we desire to create in our lives and
In Our World.

Here's to PEACE
And here's to you and me!
It begins now, at this very moment
As we focus our attention fully on our intentions.
And choose to move out of leaking our energy to what we don't want.

And here's to having the passion to follow our convictions. :)

Groundhog Day and Freedom

Greetings Friends,

Remember the movie Groundhog Day, with Bill Murray as a sarcastic television weatherman who, by a twist of fate, is forced to relive one day of his life over and over? It's a feel good movie that many of us enjoy watching again and again, with many wonderful messages.

Now I could go into a huge section here about all the different meanings that can be found in this movie. Or I could go with the simple and the obvious: Change must come from within. Now, I know you've heard this many times before and yet it is one of the most profound and freeing realizations any of us can have and put into practice. Ah there's the rub....putting it into practice...releasing the desire to change others in any way, shape or form and concentrating only on ourselves.

As you are reading this today I invite you to go within and ask: What must change within me so that I am the person I truly desire to be?

Spend a few moments in silent reflection and the answers will be revealed.

Or like Bill Murray in the movie repeat the same thing over and over until, like Bill, you are done with that and look within to find out what needs to change in you. And that is where real freedom lives.

Freedom from having to control anyone or anything else. The Law of Attraction gives that right back. In freeing others we are automatically liberated and given the freedom to just allow ourselves to fully be too! What a gift!

Happy Groundhog Day :)

Reframing Negative Triggers

Greetings Friends,

What's on your Vision Board? What are you desiring to attract into your life this year? Are you focusing on possibility or are you stuck in the "HOW in the world is that going to manifest?"

Do little things trigger you into the "Oh, see someone else is already doing that," syndrome of jealousy and unworthiness?

Or are you staying in the FEELING that you desire to have from what you are wanting to attract?

It's really easy to let our guard down and let our negative thoughts have just an inch. When we do this they often take over and ruin our entire day. When you find this happening STOP and ask yourself what this line of thinking is accomplishing. Then ask yourself what you desire to FEEL right now.

A clue is it's usually the exact opposite of whatever the current negative feeling is.

For example seeing a book similar to one you desire to write on Amazon.com might trigger the immediate response of anger/frustration/jealously. The opposite of these triggered negative responses would be CALM, EASE, and HAPPINESS.

Try saying a reframing statement such as:

Thank you that this book has just appeared. This reassures me with there is a market for what I'm desiring to write about. Thank you for the Ease in which I found this book--others will be directed to find mine with similar Ease and I accept this Ease flows through me as I easily write my book. Thank you for the author who has written this book, for it so beautifully sets the stage for what I am creating and just reaffirms the need for other books on this subject. I now release any anger / frustration/ jealousy that has been triggered and step fully into my desired feelings of CALM, EASE, and HAPPINESS.

Allow yourself to really get into the FEEEELING space of these emotions--it will transform those negative triggers immediately.

Oneness of 100 at the Labyrinth

Greetings Friends,

Yesterday approximately 100 of us gathered for the 6th Annual Celebrate the New Year with New Thoughts Labyrinth Visioning and Walk. What an amazingly powerful experience we shared. We released 2006 and set our intentions for 2007 and walked the labyrinth together. Yes, all of us were in the Labyrinth walking at the same time! What an incredible vortex of peace, harmony, cooperation, love and oneness. Truly, it was like a microcosm of our world working wonderfully. We gathered our energies and the spirit of peace and released these as blessings for not only ourselves and each other but also for our entire planet. Thank you so much to all who participated. If you were there I would love to hear some of your responses. Please feel free to add your comments to this blog. I'd also love to hear from you as the year progress about how your particular word (mine is Serenity) is showing up in your life. When you are wondering how to accomplish the intentions and goals you set remember to go to the feeling place of your word. Release the how and stay in the feeling. If you get disconnected from that feeling go back to the place where we were all in the labyrinth together or when we were all circled around it at the conclusion of the walk. Thank you for the blessing you are. The present of your presence was a very precious gift to me yesterday.


Blessings to everyone for a very happy, healthy, prosperous, successful, peaceful, joy-filled 2007. Let's Dare2create our best year yet!
