Creating the Space for Abundance

How full is your calendar? Do you cram as much as possible into each day? Do you fall into bed, exhausted, each night and go to bed thinking of all the things that didn’t get completed?

When we are in a state of perpetual motion, in our bodies and minds, there is no space from which to create or attract newness. If there is no room in the garage, how can you attract a second vehicle? If your wallet has no space, how can you attract more money? If you work day does not provide ‘down time’, how can you think of new, innovative solutions for your team?

I encourage you to create space in your life to allow for abundance to enter. Whether you are in search of more money, friends, love, or health, open yourself to what is possible. You will be amazed with the results! Chances are good that the gifts coming your way are even better than what you imagined. So, get out of the way, and let it come to you!

It's Time to Cocoon

It’s unusual for me to want to cocoon, even in the winter. Despite the challenging weather that finds me in Newfoundland & Labrador each year, I’m not weather-dependent; I don’t let the cold, snow, or winds keep me from getting out and about. Today, it is close to twenty below with the wind-chill yet it is not the temperature that makes me feel like cocooning.

I really can’t explain why I feel this need to stay put, under a blanket on my couch, sipping peppermint tea and writing in my journal. I suppose the 10% of me that is introverted has been feeling a little neglected this month since January has been full of meetings, introductions, and appointments. Maybe I just need a bit of time to myself. Who knows what will come of it? I think I’ll just P.A.U.S.E.

And the day that you spin
From your little cocoon
Well, you can't be prepared
For the beauty you'll find there

Lyrics from “Beauty” by Shaye

Stop Look and Listen

Remember being told to, “Stop, look and listen, before you cross the street”? Never was that needed more than this morning by my child’s school. In the two minutes that it took me to enter and drive around the drop off lane, I witness three motorists violating rules of the road and thus endangering the lives of others, including my children and theirs. (Now I know exactly why there is usually a police officer stationed at the school each morning.)

There is NOTHING that is worth risking the safety of our children.

If your life has gotten so out of control and your Treadmill of Life running so fast that you cannot take the time to secure your children safely on the school playground, then I suggest you need to take a significant P.A.U.S.E. and examine your life from 10,000 feet. This might just be the wake-up call that you need to define and execute your Vision of Success. I can assure you that losing everything is NOT part of that vision. So, wise up! Drive safely. Embrace Your Potential. It will even affect your ability to arrive to school and then work with time to spare.

To learn everyday strategies to Stop the Treadmill of Life and Start Living in Possibility, join me on Sunday, January 23rd in St. John’s, NL for a full day motivation workshop. Register online today!

The Word of the Day is WooHoo!

After raving about what an amazing day I was having, prompting me to shout, “WooHoo!” on many occasions (privately and publicly), my friend suggested I buy a lotto ticket to see how far my luck would take me – and him, since he is looking for half!

I don’t know if I have ever bought a lotto ticket. I know, I must be the only person ALIVE that hasn’t. At least, that’s how I feel on days when I’ve gone to the gas station on days of the big jackpot. Seriously, it’s actually one of the reasons that I now pay at the pump!

I’ve had many conversations about what others would do if they won the lottery. It’s even become material for my keynote speech. The truth is, when I’m visualizing my BIG DREAM, I think about it as if my bank account is overflowing. Maybe, just maybe, I’ll venture out later and buy one. I am inspired by the tag line on the Atlantic Lottery homepage: “I closed my eyes and yelled WooHoo!” A sign from the Universe???

What would you do if you won the lottery? I’d love to hear about your Vision of Success. If you haven’t put much thought behind your big dream, consider joining me for my next public workshop. Register on-line to learn how to Embrace Your Potential™.
