Vision Quest 2008 Attract Success Now

We are ten days into the New Year and in order to kick off this year right I presented the first of a three-part series entitled Vision Quest 2008: Attract Success Now. The first part was absolutely wonderful! The group was very high energy and we were talking away and getting acquainted and re-acquainted with one another. There were some new faces and some old friends that have been attending my Success Principles Coaching Circle for some time. It was great to see everybody and catch up with what was going on in our lives. Eventually we did the guided meditation and I have to say that it went very very well. I was impressed with the quality of the visioning that everybody experienced. We had some awesome experiences. Thank you everybody who attended and made this a very successful event. I can't wait for next week when we will do Part II which will consist of creating goals for the seven areas of our lives and affirmations to manifest them.

Wishing everybody much health, happiness, and prosperity in 2008!

Christmas is Everyday

I wonder if it's possible to keep that Christ-mas feeling all year long. I love the way people transform for a short period of time every year. And it's not just people who celebrate the holiday. It seems that for about a month during the year people are actually nice to one another and act like they love one another. They have the Christmas Spirit!

What if we could keep that feeling all year. Imagine...what would the world be like? Try it and see if you can keep that Spirit all year long. I try by leaving my lights up as long as possible and then I usually leave a few bits of Christ-mas out throughout the house to remind me to be kind and loving to others.

I know it can be difficult as we live in such a fast-paced world where we are on to the next holiday without even appreciating what we have in front of us. So while the stores rush to put out their Valentine's Day decorations and cards, I still am enjoying the beauty of my green tree. Christmas is over when I say it is over...ha ha.

The smell alone puts me in a good mood. I hate to throw it out and let the holiday go, but as I plan for next year and the lights I will put up and the decorations, I feel a peace come over me knowing that for one small period of time there is brotherly love and the hope that peace on earth really is possible. It renews my faith in the human race as I witness all the love that surrounds me.

Christmas is not once a year, but everyday in our hearts and in our minds. We can hold these positive thoughts and feelings of others for as long as we want.
