Love Creates Miracle

By

Earlier this month, my heart was lifted by a story I read in a daily guide for spiritual living that I subscribe to.  In these unsettling times of Federal and State budget crises and neighbors being laid off, this beautiful story reminds me of two things I firmly believe in:

1. Miracles do happen every day!

2. The human spirit is unstoppable.

Enjoy the story . . .

An Australian couple, Kate and David Ogg, were given the devastating news that one of their premature twins, a son, was unable to be revived and had been pronounced “dead.”  Before the couple released their newborn son to the staff, they wanted to celebrate his brief life, love him and then say good-bye.  They practiced “kangaroo care,” an Australian technique of placing a newborn on the bare chest.  After a few minutes the baby began to move. The doctor dismissed the movements as reflexes and insisted that their son was not alive.  For two hours, Kate continued to hold their son and love him.  Soon he opened his eyes.  The doctor refused to come back to the room to witness the miracle and had to be lured back to listen to his chest.  Upon hearing the baby’s heartbeat, the doctor responded, “I don’t believe it.”

Believe it. What amazes me most about this story is the ability of the couple to “let go” of the devastating news and be in the moment.  Instead of reacting with anger and resentment to their loss, they simply responded to the present moment by surrounding the baby with love and warmth as they said their good-byes.  This beautiful testament of love and the human spirit – lifts my spirit and reminds me that miracles do happen every day!

A Touch of G-Force

By

How often do you tap into G-Force: Grace and Gratitude to fuel your life?  When you have this powerful pair pulling for you, you’re able to move forward with more ease… and experience life at new heights.

What I’ve discovered over the years is that Grace and Gratitude appear in concert. Whenever I take the time to observe, acknowledge, recognize and appreciate what “is” . . . the energy of Gratitude calls in Grace.

Have you ever had a time in your life when things came together easily and effortlessly?  It may have felt like the details were being taken care of behind the scenes. All you had to do was show up. That’s Grace at play!

The energy of Grace is available to each and every one of us at any given moment.  Grace is an assisting energy that steps in at the perfect time, with the perfect solution and just the right resources. It’s particularly helpful to call upon Grace when you’re in need of divine intervention.  The elegance of Grace allows us to be in touch with all that is . . . the abundance of life!

The powerful partnership of Grace and Gratitude has helped me to wake up and pay attention to the signs, symbols, and messages that lead to a richer, more fulfilling, and success-full life.  This partnership has in turn allowed me to help others see the meaning and purpose behind what appear to be random, everyday events that are, in fact, signposts that guide and direct us to experience life fully.  Let the G-Force be with you!!

Time Out to Map Out

By

A super short post today so I can slow down to speed-up!

Have you noticed life has a way of taking on a life of it’s own when you’re “crazy” busy.  One way to experience life fully is to slow down to speed-up.  Slowing down to speed up may sound counter-intuitive.  Yet, it works!  It’s like having your own “magic” button that stops time in order for you to catch-up, re-organize and re-gain focus on what’s important. The inspired action steps seem to fall into place once you slow down.

Allow your creative genius to flow (YES, you have it) and assist you in identifying priorities to create an action plan.  Get out paper, colored pens and highlighters to create a list or a mind map. If you prefer to use mind-mapping software there are options: Freemind (it’s easy to use and comes with a tutorial) and SimpleMind, a free iPad app.

It’s important to get everything out of your mind, off tiny scraps of paper and onto one sheet.   Once you’ve created your list of “projects,” outline the steps and identify items that need to be addressed immediately (add completion dates & use color codes to prioritize).

You’re almost there. Here’s an essential practice: tune into what you want the outcome to look and feel like.  In your mind’s eye play out the scene and picture everything being completed with ease. (That’s how you want it, right?) Move forward confidently knowing you’ve got a plan that will take you to the finish line!

Speak Your Mind . . . I’d love to hear the practices you use to slow-down to speed-up.

Create Videos that Transform Lives

By

It’s amazing how far we’ve come with video technology.  In the recent past you needed expensive equipment, editing software, and technical expertise to produce a professional looking video.  That’s all changed.  There’s a simple and easy way to create your own professional looking videos for your coaching, consulting, and healing practice – especially if you learn from great teachers.  I highly recommend Bob “the Teacher” Jenkins.  Bob hosts awesome training events with incredible faculty that provide rich content, easy to use tools & techniques, and most importantly – coach and encourage you to apply the knowledge immediately.  Did I mention . . . you meet fabulous like-minded, energetic and vibrant people who cheer you on and are delighted to celebrate your successes!

If you get excited about transforming people’s lives, then get your message out to the world through video. Video is the way to go – it’s easy to integrate into your blog and a brilliant approach to quickly grow your coaching, consulting, and healing practice.

You may remember guest blogger Kristen Eckstein, The Ultimate Book Coach, from Build Your Blog and Finish Your Book post a few days ago.  Kristen created this really cool video (What Should Go On the Back Cover of Your Book) at Bob the Teacher’s SIMPLE Video Velocity event.  As a matter-of-fact, at the video training we all (yes, even us “newbies”) created and submitted videos for a Video Idol contest. Check out and see why Kristen has the unique distinction of being voted #1 in the first ever Video Idol!!

If you would like to  . . .

Enhance your message and content

Learn how to reach millions with your own TV show (for free)

Create videos that sizzle

And, so much more . . .

Then make it a priority to attend the next SIMPLE training.  I plan to be there and would love to hang out with you, too!

Imagine the impact of transforming more lives . . . through your video creations.  The possibilities are endless!!! Now that’s something I get excited about!!
