The Law of Attraction and Parenting

How can the law of attraction help you be a better parent?

What you think about is created. Buddha, Socrates, Emerson, Thoreau…they all wrote about it. This is not a new concept. Vibrationally, what we put out into the world, comes back to us. Period. It is simple. If you think about blue butterflies, you’ll see more blue butterflies. If you think about red cars, you’ll see more red cars. It is a universal law just like gravity. It exists and it impacts our every day, our every moment.

HealthyBrain.org estimates that the average human has over 70,000 thoughts per day. 70,000 thoughts!! How many of those thoughts are positive? How many of them are negative? How many thoughts do you spend worrying about your child? How many thoughts do you spend worrying about the next PT appointment or IEP meeting? How many of your 70,000 thoughts do you spend on happy things? Thinking about how amazing school pick up will be and the huge smile on your child’s face? Anticipating the snuggle time before bed? Or do you worry about pick up? Do you get stressed just thinking about bed time?

It is time to begin the process of holding yourself accountable for the thoughts you think. It is time to begin catching yourself when you’re in the repetitive cycle of worry so that you can gently nudge yourself to a better feeling thought. You don’t have to go from mud and yuck to roses and sunshine. But you can find a better feeling thought. 

Here’s an example:

  • Your Thoughts: “I am so worried about our IEP meeting tomorrow. I know we’re going to have tough conversations. I know I’m going to have to hold my own and stand up for my child. They just don’t understand how hard she works. They always see the worst in her. I feel like they never celebrate her tiny wins. We always talk about how far behind she is. “
  • A Nudge into a Better Feeling Thought: “Our IEP meeting is tomorrow and I’m a little anxious about it. Anxiety means I care…and I really do care. I know the IEP is focused on how she can improve…and that’s a good thing. I want her to keep improving. But I also want to celebrate her wins. I like how the teachers continue to push her. She’s trying really hard and I really hope her teachers see that too. It’ll be hard to hear her deficits. That’s human. But, in the end, I love my daughter and I’m so proud of her. We all know how hard she is working.

Just reading the two, how did you feel? How did your body respond? Did your stomach hurt when you read the 1st paragraph? And, how did you feel when reading the 2nd paragraph. Did you feel a little lighter? Could you feel a shift in the focus and the overall energy?

If you break this down, you realize that you have more influence on how you feel, what you focus on, and eventually what you manifest than perhaps you originally thought.

Begin playing with this.  Don’t expect miracles. Expect to simply feel a little better. Expect to be shocked and amazed at how many of those 70,000 thoughts aren’t so positive. And when you do find yourself there in the dark hole of negativity or worry, don’t beat yourself up. Be gentle. Be kind. And give yourself a little nudge to think a little bit better thought.

You got this!

We’re back…and there’s so much to share!

After a 3-year hiatus, we are back at it. And man have there been some major changes. See below to hear the details!!!

The pure joy of a child can bring tears to one’s eyes.
  1. I started a podcast called “For Our Special Kids” where we openly and honestly talk about the magic and the mess of raising a child with special needs. Listen on any of your favorite listening platforms. If you like what you hear, please tell a friend or give us a positive review!
  2. Teal is 6. What? Just look at that joy! We celebrated her birthday in Paris on the carousels! It was magical, just like her.
  3. We have a newsletter now! Click here to subscribe.
  4. I plan on communicating more with you! It’s time to write that book I’ve been talking about…”My 5-year Old is Smarter Than Me!” In order to write the book, I need to just write more…which means…more blog posts.

As always, I hope you enjoy…and let me know what you think!

It’s good to be back at it…

#12: Talking Fans

Not even sure where to begin.  I feel like there is so much to share and so many places to begin that I simply can’t begin.  So, I will start from where I am being called to start.  The fan!

NOTE: After typing this all, I reread it.  You all are going to think I have completely lost it.  And you may stop reading these blogs all together but I have to be true to the WooWoo!

My daughter has a bathroom in her room…that bathroom has a fan.  This fan talks to us.  Yeap…I said it.  It talks to us.  Told you I was WooWoo!

To start…this fan is brand new (we remodeled in 2017) and, due to code, we had to put in one of those automatic fans that turns on when there is an increase in humidity in the room.  This sounds like a great idea…right?  Except, the catch is that this schwanky new fan NEVER, and I do mean NEVER, turns on when were are showering.  Nope.  It does not respond to humidity.  There might be clouds of steam billowing out of our shower and that fan will not kick on.  However, it will turn on “randomly.”  And I say “randomly” because I thought it was all random.  Just a faulty switch or breaker or something.  NOPE!

You see, this fan kicks on when there are spirits in the room.  I said it.  It kicks on when there is a presence in the room (not human).  How do I know this…well, you can feel it.  And my daughter responds.  She will stay focused on the area right in front of the bathroom door for longer than a typical 3 year can focus.  She’ll giggle and laugh with whatever is there until I kick everyone out of the room…(more on that in another post).

And yes, I’ve been tracking the fan’s activities.  Crack me up.  It never kicks on at the same time of day.  Sometimes the lights are on…somethings they are off.  Sometimes it’ll stay on for 40 minutes and other times it’ll be on for 5. Sometimes it turns on when my daughter finally nods off to sleep and other times it stays on for her entire nap.  It is “random.”

I’ve also realized that it kicks on when I’m supposed to get a message.  I was pondering a pretty significant shift in my life…as in total life changing decision.  Every time I walked by her room, that dang fan was on.  I’d go in…turn it off.  Leave.  Walk by 20 minutes later…ON.  Turn it off.  Another half and hour…ON.  Finally, I walked into the bathroom, said, “Ok…I get it.  I will take the class…ok.  I hear you.”  That fan didn’t turn back on.  And, yes, I did do a drive-by within 30 minutes to check the fan.  OFF.  Ha!!!!

So, you can’t make this crap up.  But you can think you’re going a bit crazy.  That is until you realize that there are so many things in our world that we don’t understand or can’t explain.  And, you realize how cool it is that you can put some very random things together and get meaning.

For example, I am currently sitting at a coffee shop, Wild Cherries, in Truckee.  My computer freezes up.  This gentleman next to me comments that I immediately looked at my phone…2 devices…always on…always going.  He was spot on…I had a pause on one device so I took to the other one.  Then it quietly hit me that perhaps my computer was trying to tell me something.  SLOW DOWN.  Take a breath.  Relax.  Take another deep breath.  Drink your tea.  My computer was frozen for what seemed like 10 minutes.  But, get this, when I lifted my mug, gave in, took those deep breathes and watched the after school chaos around me and appreciated the kids’ energy and passion for life, well, that’s when my computer came back to life.

What about when the light flickers in your living room?  Next time you see a light flicker, pause.  Take stock of what you’re thinking…is there a message?  Were you just thinking about your father-in-law who recently passed?  Did he do a fly-by to say hello? Were you contemplating calling a dear friend?  Flicker…call her.  Were you just breathing in the colors of sunset?  Instead of ignoring that flicker…take note.  See if there is a message for you.  Listen for the message.

You may be exquisitely surprised…there are many messages and gifts we are given by the Unknown, by God, by the Universe, by Nature…or whomever you believe in, if you slow down and look and listen and feel.

Believe in the WooWoo!

 

 

 

#11: Holy Crap…A WooWoo Workshop

Hello My Wonderful WooWoo’ers!

I am sorry but it appears that I took a very long siesta!  I didn’t really sleep…I would have liked to have slept for a few months…but alas…as we all know, life got in the way.  However, I am back and hopefully will write more in the upcoming months.

What has been going on?  I am excited to share that I hosted my first WooWoo Women’s Workshop in May.  The goal was to create awareness around topics that people might consider “WooWoo”y.  We had presenters on:

  • Singing Bowls
  • CranioSacral Therapy
  • Astrology
  • Fung Shui
  • Energy Healing/Medical Intuition
  • Sacred Sexology
  • Plant Medicine
  • Essential Oils

17 women filled with love and light and curiosity joined us and OH MY GOSH…HOLY CRAP!  The response was incredible.  Eyes were opened.  Ears were perked.  Minds were BLOWN!

So what does this say about our society?  What is going on?  Why are people not looking for “Alternative” forms of healing?  Why do so many search for the traditional Western medical approach first?  Why isn’t the allopathic world that “Alternative” option?  One of my teachers brought this concept to my attention.  Why is the stuff made from chemicals the norm?  Why don’t we consider the drugs as the alternative?

Shouldn’t we look to our own healing first?  Our bodies are miraculous.  Our brains are beyond measure.  Do you know that neurologists are just beginning to understand the brain of a worm?  A WORM, people.  The worm’s brain still causes us pause.   What the heck does that say about a human’s brain?  I hate to consider the little we know.

Why do we second guess the abilities of our inner self or our Inner Wisdom as Dr. Upledger calls it?  Why don’t we trust in our own mind…our own brain…our own MAGIC?

I believe we are filled with Wonderful WooWoo!  I actually don’t just believe it…I KNOW it!!

You are filled with Magical, Wonderful, WooWoo.

So, here’s you Call to Action, the next time you have a headache follow these steps:

  1. Take a deep breathe
  2. Close your eyes (not while driving or handling large machinery)
  3. Ask your inner self, that Inner Wisdom, where the headache is coming from – if you truly hear with your heart, you will get the answer
  4. Based on what you “hear with your heart” place your healing hands on that part of your body which resonates most with the answer.  Example: perhaps your inner wisdom tells you that your headache is due to the pressure in your low back (don’t question it or reason the answer away…just listen).  So, I would place my healing hands on my low back and BREATHE!!!!
  5. Breathe some more
  6. Believe that your hands can release your pain.  (Sidebar question: when you stub your toe on the leg of a chair, after screaming an expletive, what do you do?……………you normally grab your toe.  Why do you do this?  This is your Inner Wisdom at work…you know that you have healing energy in your hands…you know you can ease the pain.)
  7. Stay positive and wait.  Allopathic drugs do not cure your headache in 3 minutes.  It may take a bit of time…sit with it, breathe into it, and even go so far as to see the pain lifting from your head!!!!  See your body releasing the pain.

Yeap…might be a little WooWoo-y…but oh so cool.

Chat soon,

WooWoo Woman

 

 

 

 

#10: Writing for me…

Hello…anyone out there?

Well, it’s been forever.  And, truthfully, life just got in the way…AND, my ego got in the way (more on that later).  I started 3 different blogs before all hell broke loose in my household.  Sickness took over…guests came and stayed…and stayed…and stayed.  The holidays came…and lingered :-). Oh, then we got 18 hundred feet of snow in 3 weeks.  (yes, it’s still freaking snowing here in Tahoe).

But let me get back to this ego thing.  I started those blogs and wasn’t sure, you, the reader would enjoy them.  Were they entertaining enough?  Were they witty enough?  Funny enough?  Did they bring enough value?  Well, shit, once I started worrying about you, I stopped finding joy in the process.  I didn’t feel the value for me.

And, there is my lesson.  Who the heck cares what you all think?  Truly, how often don’t we get influenced by other people?   I find myself making decisions each day based on what other people might say, do, think.  And I rarely ask myself that question.  What do I really think about this action?  How does it feel?  Does it bring me joy?

My goal is to begin making more decisions that bring me joy.  Caring more about what I think than what others think.

In January, after having 26 people for Thanksgiving dinner (13 who came last minute), throwing a holiday party for 35 people, hosting  family and friends for Christmas, and then…just because I wasn’t over it quite enough, I found 10+ people at my house for a spontaneous New Year’s party.  God help me…I was SO OVER EVERYONE. That is when I realized that I did a lot to impress others and it was time to begin impressing myself.

Those decisions I want to begin making that bring joy…well, they need to also honor me and help me impress myself.  I want to “wow” me.  I want to choose the bath over the party.  The quiet dinner at home over the dinner out.  The rom com over the sporting event.  I just want to give myself a freaking break.

And, I’m happy to say (outside of one major slip up around the Super Bowl which included custom cocktails…ugh), I have been letting things slide more.  I don’t pick up all the crap on my counter and shove it in our bedroom before people come over.  They, my friends, get to see my crap and my raw life now.  In the end, if anyone doesn’t want to hang out because my new office (as a full time mom) is now on the kitchen counter, then they shouldn’t be my friend.  You should see this crap…coffee mugs, unpaid bills, child toys, inspiration cards, keys, diffusers, unfolded towels, markers, a binder of learning materials, oh…my daughter’s birth certificate, books, essential oils, shea butter, watches, phone chargers,…OH MY GOD, I’m going to stop typing and go clean.

Love ya!!  Thanks for listening.

The…Gonna Impress Myself Mama!!

#9: Feel Your Feet…

I love ah-ha moments...

“Remember to feel your feet.”

“Bring your lips together.”

“Put your head down.”

“Take a deep breath…relax.”

“Stand up strong.”

Let me tell you what happened…our daughter isn’t walking yet (key word “yet”), and wears Magic Dancing Boots for ~4 hours a day.  They are really cute…white with butterflies, purple straps, and her shoes are grey glitter with pink and orange.  She is a rockstar in them.  Anyhoots, we like to go on back-breaking walks with her to play at the park.  I say back-breaking because I can barely stand up when she’s finally in the swing.  She needs a little assistance.  Well, today, we were up in the play structure (I am the only mother who climbs up into those things so my daughter gets the full experience) and I touch her feet.  Push them into the steel and say, “Feel your feet.  Really feel them.”  I press on them and put energy into them.

Now, if you know my journey over the past year, you are probably laughing out loud.  I have honestly been trying to “ground” for well…my entire life.  No joke.  In the past year alone, I have used oils, meditations, crystals, rocks, breath work, clothing, jewelry, colors, you name it…to help myself be more present on this earth.  To feel more.  And today, I actually hear myself tell her to “feel her feet.”  Well, I’d say my lesson for the day is done.  It is the very lesson I need to heed myself.

Think…what do you say to your children (or co-workers, employees, friends, family, sig figs, etc.) on a daily basis?  Are they words that should be recorded and played back to you?   It can be quite disturbing, can’t it?

Here’s my interpretation of my messages to her…for ME!

“Bring your lips together.” – Talk less!!!  Listen more.

“Put your head down.” – Take a nap.  Relax.  Enjoy.

“Take a deep breath…relax.” – BREATHE!!!  Expand your lungs.  Get rid of the toxins. 

“Stand up strong.” – Hold your head high. Connect above and below.

All good things, right.  But, we also don’t always say nice things to our kids or others.  “Please be gentle.” “Be quiet.”  “Be nice.” “Are you listening to me?” “Take your shoes upstairs.” “Do your homework.”  You get the point.

However, let’s look at it a different way.  In meditation yesterday, I began hearing all of the amazing things I say to her as well.  And, this extra ah-ha moment came flying my way.  If we got all of the positives we tell toddlers or infants…OH MY GOSH.  Think about how outstanding our life would feel.

“You are incredible.”

“You are so darn smart.”

“You make me so proud.”

“You can do anything.”

“You are a rockstar.”

“You are as beautiful on the inside as you are on the outside.”

“We are so happy you’re here.”

“You make my life so much better.”

“You are magic.”

I need to hear this on a daily basis too.  And, my husband, family, friends, (you get the point) do too.  We all need to hear about the positive impact we have on one another and this world.

So, take a moment and tell yourself (out loud) 5 things that you love about yourself.  Or, get all daring and ask someone else to tell you 5 things.  Whoa!!  Remember to return the favor.  And then watch the magic of the WooWoo!!!

Your Ever-Inspired Mama!!

Post #8: Do you Believe in Magic?

A long long time ago…in land far far away… (kidding)

Over 9 years ago I hosted a women’s retreat called “What would you attempt?” in Lake Tahoe.  It was all about me testing the waters to see if I could help facilitate change in other women (and in myself).  I LOVED it.  I created the curriculum, led many of the discussions, invited in experts, etc.  Truly, it was such an inspiring time for me.   And the others, I’ve heard from a few of the women that certain exercises still resonate with them today.  Mental Note: I need to run another retreat!!

I am going to introduce one of those exercises and then get into the WooWoo.

The exercise used energy cards.  I absolutely love those energy cards you see in WooWoo stores.  Some of them are angel cards, some are positive affirmation cards, others have Buddhist messages, there are spirit animal decks, etc. All of them in my opinion are amazing it just depends on your mood.

And this is a reminder to myself to go dust off my cards…ugh. Isn’t it funny how you get so darn caught up in life that you literally forget what used to bring you joy?  Why do we let that happen? Especially as a mom, but also when I found myself making more money in my career…I just let go of those things that made me happy and literally defined who I was.

Take a moment…what did you used to love that is now missing? Is it that 1st slow sip of cherished coffee in the morning that you used to give you such joy?  And now you just chug it to get out the door on time? (FYI…that probably is 10 seconds out of your life and it might bring back a bit of joy)  Or what happened to that 10 minutes when you used to slather on a face mask and flip through a gossip magazine? Go figure out that one thing that is missing from the “before this life took over” and you left yourself behind.  And then add it back in.

Holy crow…back on track. So, the cards? I’m going to post some links below if you wanna grab a deck for yourself. Anyhoots, we did this exercise in the retreat:

In groups of 4, we chose a deck (or two) that felt right for the group. Example…if you didn’t love angel cards and your group picked those…then you could grab a deck that felt good. Easy.

One person at a time…

  • Hold the deck in your hands and put your energy on the cards…you can shuffle ’em, put ’em on your heart…whatever feels right.
  • While you are holding the cards, ask a question you’d like an answer to in your mind.  Really focus on the question…send it into the cards.  Do not tell the group your question.
  • Pull a card and place it in front of the other 3 women.
  • Ask the women their interpretation of your card. Do not provide feedback.  Do not give them hints to your question. Just let their inner wisdom speak.
  • Flip the card over and go through the same process.  Keep your mouth shut and listen. Feel the messages.
  • Then, if you want, you can tell the women your question…but you do not have to do this…it is your question, do with it what you want.
  • Do this for each woman in the group.
  • Take 5-10 minutes to journal about the experience.

So, that was the exercise.  Now, let’s get WooWoo!!!

I not only facilitated these exercises, I participated.  So, I sat down with my question.  And, in my gut I kidda knew my question wasn’t exactly “right.”  See, I had a “When” question and those can be tricky…but I went with it because it was my true inner question.

I grabbed the deck, sent energy into the cards, and I asked my question in my heart.  I pulled the card and laid it down.  Hmmmm…it was an old man with some stars above him.  I remember he was wearing red.  The women gave me their interpretations.  And, the last woman (Stacy I’m not sure you remember this…) but you said, “It reminds me of Santa and Christmas.”  Now remember, she did not know my “when” question.  Ha ha ha!!   Christmas is was.  Yeah…that was only a month or 2 away…I was getting my answer in a couple of months.  Whoa.

You wanna know my question…”When will I get pregnant?”

So, 1 month goes by…pee on stick.  Not pregnant.

Another month…pee on new stick.  Not preggers.

Damn cards.

I knew I shouldn’t have asked a damn “when” question.  Total heart break.  I gave up on that set of cards…cards in general really.  Well, not playing cards.  I do love a good card game.

Anyhoots, get ready for some WooWoo.  Fast forward 8 years.  I found out I was pregnant on December 26th.  Ha.  Ha.  Ha.  Ha.  Ha.  Ha.  Totally not joking.  The Universe is so full of magic.  And the kind of magic that rocks your world.

Do you believe in magic?

This Mama believes in magic…

 

Check out some of these decks:  You can search affirmation cards, empowerment cards, etc.  There are even decks for kids.

Post 7: My Spark

Ever just stepped back and looked at how much your life has changed in a VERY short amount (say 2 years, 2 months) of time?  I crawled into my Courtyard Marriott bed last night in Sacramento (a pretty comfy bed actually) ALL ALONE and started to cry happy tears.  I took a deep breath and said out loud, “Thank you!”

I found myself in that bed because of my daughter (so……..it’s 6:47 am as I write this…I am still in that bed…ha)  She has completely shifted my life’s purpose.  And I say thank you to her.  When I laid my head on the pillow I started listing all of the changes I’ve made that are 100% her fault.  😉  It is just so fantastic.  And, this, this is My WooWoo.

  • working with a medical intuitive rather than searching for all answers in the medical/health community
  • owning every single DoTERRA oil that has ever been made, carrying oils on planes rather than chemicals and sharing with strangers, making dishwashing soap and cleaning supplies, owning 5 diffusers.  You get the point.
  • taking a new “you can heal your life with your own energy” monthly training course for a year
  • using my hands to create energy balls and to heal my husband’s leg
  • talking with Inner Physicians to get answers to medical problems
  • owning up to my psychic abilities and intuition
  • creating a shrine in my office so I can meditate on a more frequent basis
  • acknowledging all spirits in a room and asking my daughter what and who she’s seeing
  • introducing friends to rituals
  • buying crystals, rocks, wind chimes, angels, and the like for her and me
  • testing out a new company called VibesUp
  • learning about Crystal Children and Indigoes and Rainbows and Stars and Diamonds
  • looking, and finding, for orbs in photos
  • putting a business on hold to focus on her magic
  • talking to strangers about her healing magic – “Expect Great Things!”
  • spontaneously (as in a 3 day decision) going to the Bahamas to get CranioSacral Therapy with dolphins
  • starting a blog
  • following my dreams
  • and crawling in a bed in Sacramento to take a 4-day CranioSacral Therapy training course to eventually speak more openly about this modality but also to give this hands-on therapy more regularly to my gorgeous daughter

By the way, this is just what I could come up with in 10 minutes.  Truly, she is my catalyst.  She is the spark that ignites the fire in my belly.

Do you have a catalyst?  Where is that fire in your belly?   How hot does it burn?  Are you feeding it or pouring the waters of doubt on it?  Perhaps it’s time to do one thing that moves you in the direction of your soul’s desire.  Just 1.  Or heck, just tell one person today about your fire.  Start there…

Love ya…I’m off to class!!!!!

The Learning Mama

#6: Part 2: “Have a Baby!!”

So there I am sitting in the HOT SEAT of an Abraham-Hicks Lecture.  And, this may shock you, but I tend to use humor to calm myself down and to lighten up the mood. 🙂   The 1st thing out of my mouth is, “I’m so excited I think I could vomit.”  (this was edited out of the recording below but does bring some clarity to why Abraham said, “This may make you vomit.”)

I truly was so excited and more than empowered…because the thing was…I knew that morning when I was putting on my make-up that I was going to talk with Abraham.  There was no doubt in my mind that I would be sitting in the HOT SEAT.   None.  No doubt.  I actually put on a bit extra make-up because I knew my head was going to be projected on the big screen and I didn’t want to look pale.  Ha ha ha.  I am not kidding.  I made that happen…I was there in my mind that morning in my bathroom in the HOT SEAT.  I could feel it before it happened.

Side NOTE: This is how manifestation works.  The easiest way to manifest anything is to already be there.  See it, feel it, taste it, smell it, hear it…all of it.   Know exactly what you plan to experience and then watch it develop.  Try it…seriously, sit there for a moment and try it.  Now don’t go experimenting on something huge like a freaking new car but try it with a friend calling you with yummy news.

Hear the phone do its little jingle.  See her number come up on your phone…maybe her cute photo pops up too.  Take a deep breathe and know you are going to get some great news.  Answer.  “I have been expecting your call, _______!”  Smile.  Ha ha…she does have good news.  So good.  Feel your excitement for her.  Giggle a little inside and hear her energy across the line.

Do this a few times throughout the day and see what happens.  Or you can replace your friend with your boss or whomever…just know that you have the power to manifest really incredible things in your life.  Start small and then build on it.  Abraham talks about starting really small…like think about butterflies.  Why you love them.  What the wings would feel like on your cheek.  How gentle and majestic they are in a soft breeze.  See them in all sorts of colors…and then watch.  You’ll see a whole lot more butterflies…promise.

Ok…back to the HOT SEAT.   I struggled a bit with how to phrase my question (as you’ll hear in the recording) but in the end my question was about having a baby.  See, I had manifested a pretty incredible life…and I loved that life.  I loved my travels, my income, my freedom, my relationships, my house, my career, my…pretty much everything.  And, I was worried that bringing a child into this world would ruin it.  I had heard so many people talk about how my life would change, as in big time, and I’d have to give up everything.  And Lord knows I’d have to stop traveling.  God forbid I would travel internationally with my kid.

I just kept manifesting these people who would tell me it wasn’t a good idea.  (Perhaps I was looking for a reason not to have a baby!)  So, I asked Abraham their thoughts.  I LOVED THEIR RESPONSE.  In a nutshell, they told me to stop asking others for their opinion (really really really good point to live by) and, here’s the best part…they told me that if I wanted to maintain control of my life, then I SHOULD NOT HAVE A BABY.    Goodness gracious, were they right.  My life has not been in control, from my perspective, since they placed this little being into my womb.

But, isn’t it such a great reminder…why do we think we need to control everything in order to find or maintain joy?  Perhaps flying by the seat of your pants is the most fun you’ll have all week.  Just go with whatever comes your way and don’t analyze it all.  Exercise your right brain more.  Let your imagination flow, your creativity blossom, your intuition soar.

Let your heart manifest the juiciest, most delicious, wicked, WooWoo, fancy pants, part of your day.  

I am beyond thankful that Abraham told me to get over myself.  Change, as they put it, is the constant that allows growth and adventure and excitement.  But, we resist change…and yet we all want growth, adventure, and excitement in our lives.  So, one must give…and I am so happy I was the one to give.

What do you need to “give?”

Now, here’s a bit more WooWoo for you.  Abraham never truly gives advice.  In the 12+ years that I have been listening and studying Abraham and their teachings…I have never to my knowledge, heard them give someone direct advice.  Seems like they do a very good job directing people but never giving the “do this” type of direction.  Well…I was walking away from the HOT SEAT, and Abraham yells from behind me…”HAVE A BABY!!!”  What?  Did I just hear the Universal Wisdom tell me to have a baby?  I think they knew that this “baby” would change the world.  And change it she has…

Thanks for going a bit WooWoo with me…

The Ever-Changed Mama!!!

I may really rock your world now.  Stay with me.  Stay open.  And, remember…this is your WooWoo dose for the day.

Many years ago, my mom told me about this woman, Esther Hicks, she was paying to go see talk in Chicago.  Now, this woman, when on stage calls herself Abraham.  Abraham, in fact (my mother told me), is a group of spirit entities or infinite intelligence (whatever that is), who come through Esther.  She is the medium through which this group (Abraham) tells their teachings.  After she/he/they, do her/his/their opening statements, “they” (she/he), takes questions from the audience for the duration of the 7+ hours.

Somewhat flabbergasted at my mother’s lack of reasoning, I said, “So, you’re going to pay how much money to watch a woman “channel” some group of people that call themselves Abraham?”  Pause…”Are you out of your mind?  Mom, this has to be fake.”

I did think she was crazy.  Honestly thought she had lost it.  But off they went to Chicago to listen to this crazy lady.  The whole time, my mom kept saying, “You know, I really don’t care how these teachings are getting here…the teachings are amazing.  They speak the truth…they make sense.  And, when I listen to their messages, I feel better about my life and how I can impact change within it.”

I will admit…curiosity took over.  After hearing about my mom’s experiences, I actually paid to go see the “crazy lady.”  The first time I went I was hoping Esther would make a mistake.  I was hoping that instead of saying “We (being Abraham) think…” she would slip and say, “I think…”  I just wanted her to not be the medium or channeler because it just seemed too WooWoo.  I chuckle now at how un-WooWoo I actually was…and, note, Esther did not slip up.  Shocker.

Anyhoots, slowly but surely I started listening to the CDs.  I picked up one of their books “Ask and It Is Given” and started applying some of their teachings.  My mom was right about the concepts (often she is).  Regardless of how they are coming out of this woman’s mouth, the messages were spot on.  They made sense.  And I saw my life start changing before my eyes.  I started manifesting more and more frequently.  I began catching myself with negative self-talk that didn’t feel right.  I followed my emotions more than my brain when making decisions and that made for better decisions.  I talked differently about a subject and I could feel how I changed.  I focused more on the solution and less on the problem.

For example, “I will find my sunglasses.  My sunglasses are here in this house.  I know I will find them soon.  Heck, in the future, I’m wearing my glasses.”

Guess what…it feels better to think and talk in the positive.  Hanging out in the negative doesn’t feel good to me anymore.

You may have realized that all of this is based in the Law of Attraction.  The Yes’s of our world attract the Yes’s.  The No’s attract more No’s.  Simple.  The more you focus on the negative, the more you attract it.  So why not focus on the positives?  Simple.

To simplify it even more, this is not a new or even WooWoo concept for that matter.  I started looking back in history and found these quotes:

“We become what we think about, all day long.”  Ralph Waldo Emerson

“We are shaped by our thoughts, we become what we think.”  Buddha

“We will not build a peaceful world by following a negative path.” Martin Luther King Jr.

I mentioned earlier that Abraham takes questions from the audience.  Over 12 years ago, this was my biggest “ah-ha” that it was all a hoax.  Those questions had to be planted.  There was no way Esther randomly picked people out of a room of 400+ people and spontaneously, without pause, gave them this brilliant information.  And, often this brilliant information was extremely personal and spot on to the question-asker.  This couldn’t be real…all of those questions were planted.

Wrong again…I went to a session in 2014 and, you guessed it, I was called up front to ask a question.  I was in the HOT-SEAT!
