BE or BE NOT. There is no TRY.

For those of you who have played with me for a while (remember…I don’t work, I either Play or Plurk) you know I JOY Journal.

For those of who you have not played with me for very long, my JOY Journal is something I use every day, for 5 minutes each day.

I guess you can call it my “life shaping” tool, because honestly, it truly has helped me to consciously shape my life!

I notice a difference when I don’t do it as compared to when I do!

If you to here, http://joy-journal.com, you’re going to read about what happened to me 4 years ago that forced me to quit “trying” the Law of Attraction, and start “being” the Law of Attraction.

Yeah, I said Being.  Law of Attraction isn’t something you do or do not, it’s something you be. 

When you BE the Law of Attraction, you shape your life.  When you TRY Law of Attraction you have nice little things happen every once in a while, and then you are disappointed an perhaps even devastated when the big things don’t happen.

My big thing was saving our home, and keeping our lives from being swallowed up whole.  We had a young son.  There was no other option but survival!

Again, you can read more about that at http://joy-journal.com.

After that situation turned around, one year later I began playing in my Journal with leaving my J.O.B. and working 100% for myself.  I went part-time in 3 months, and full-time me in 6 1/2 months.

I learned that I didn’t have to be in a crisis to use my Journal!  Yeah! 

I wasn’t a Crisis LOA Be-er!  I was a Living LOA Be-er!

(No, I’m not saying Beer.  I can’t drink that stuff! LOL)

The JOY Journal will take you from being a LOA Try-er to a LOA Be-er!

http://joy-journal.com

And all it takes is just 5 minutes per day.  Seriously!

The thing is, you can take the audio program and run with it, or you can take advantage of the JOY Journal Coaching Community too. 

It’s a lifetime membership, and I’ll be in there daily to answer your questions and coach you through anything that may come up as you begin your JOY Journaling process.

All those in favour of LOA Being say I!

Dream BIG!

From Expected to Great Expectations

Christmas was wonderful. I so enjoy this time of the year

From the smell of Christmas baking to the smile on my son’s face as he opens the presents from Santa, the holiday is filled with love and joy.

This year, Christmas held some unexpected gifts as well.

At the end of Christmas Day, as family was cleaning up, and preparing to head home, someone said something to upset me.

As we’re heading home I say to myself that it was “expected”.

Hold on there! Back it up just a bit! Expected?

DOH!

What was expected, and why the heck did I expect THAT?

I am the creator of all that I experience. Why the heck would I create through that kind of expectation?

As you can tell, my special gift this year was awareness; the awareness that I have been creating the “expected” experiences, and have been doing so for years!

I mulled over this new Awareness all through Boxing Day and come up with some new expectations for when I play with family (and with anyone else who may “upset” me).

I expect that no matter what, they love me.

I expect that I look and listen for things to appreciate about everyone who comes into my experience.

I expect that I choose to feel good.

What do you expect? Does that expectation support you? If not, how do you choose to transform your expectation?

How about foregoing the “Resolutions” this year and choosing “Great Expectations”?

Happy New Year!

Letting Go

To let go does not mean to stop caring,
it means I can’t do it for someone else.

To let go is not to cut myself off,
it’s the realization I can’t control another.

To let go is not to enable,
but allow learning from natural consequences.

To let go is to admit powerlessness, which means
the outcome is not in my hands.

To let go is not to try to change or blame another,
it’s to make the most of myself.

To let go is not to care for,
but to care about.

To let go is not to fix,
but to be supportive.

To let go is not to judge,
but to allow another to be a human being.

To let go is not to be in the middle arranging all the outcomes,
but to allow others to affect their destinies.

To let go is not to be protective,
it’s to permit another to face reality.

To let go is not to deny,
but to accept.

To let go is not to nag, scold or argue,
but instead to search out my own shortcomings and correct them.

To let go is not to adjust everything to my desires,
but to take each day as it comes and cherish myself in it.

To let go is not to criticize or regulate anybody,
but to try to become what I dream I can be.

To let go is not to regret the past,
but to grow and live for the future.

To let go is to fear less and love more
