Let It Go, Let It Flow, Let It Snow

We're in the middle of (another) blizzard here in Castle Rock.

I started to post during the last one, but I got sidetracked. It's amazing how distracting it can be to do absolutely nothing. We were unable to get plowed out of our house for a couple of days, so we just kind of hibernated for a bit. Sure, we had power, phones and internet, but I didn't really feel inspired to work.

And now we're battening down the hatches again -- another storm is moving through. It's interesting, because apparently this is quite unusual weather for Castle Rock. I'm told the last blzizard we had (last week) was one of the top 5 worst in recorded history in this area. Interesting!

Still doesn't compare to Hurricane Katrina, though. Blizzard, schmizzard. At least in this weather, I'm safe and sound in my own home, and safer here than anywhere else. Bring it, Mother Nature, bring it. I ain't scared.

This time around, I'm in a slightly different space about it all. We made sure we got out and had some fun yesterday, and yesterday we ran errands all day long, since we may be cooped up for awhile. Also got me some brand new shiny snow boots from Bass. When the storm lets up, I think I'll be back to buy another pair of dressy snow boots (hey, when you live in Colorado, you gotta have play boots, dress boots, and casual boots for snow, and then all of the above for non-snow!)

I'm also feeling more like working this time around too. I suppose the novelty of "surviving" a blizzard has worn off. Plus, I got stuff to do to prepare for my piece de resistence: the Road Trip to Riches.

The class is filling up, and Karrie and I are quite excited about it. We shipped out the first batch of supplemental material to participants, and I'm looking forward to hearing some stellar feedback on the starter kit.

Also, marketing guru Kathleen Gage is going to interview me next week -- that should definitely be fun. She's inviting her group, I'll check in and see if I can let you into the loop. If you're subscribed to my "Success Secrets Revealed" newsletter, you'll surely be among the first to know about it.

Now it's time to crack open a bottle of Gewertzeminer (I'm quite sure I've misspelled that!) that my hubby's quite excited about. We rented some DVDs and we're gonna enjoy some quiet time while both girls are sleeping.

But I haven't forgotten about you, dear friend. Here is your QoD today:

Despite the fact that massive action is required to achieve massive resutls, it's normal to have "slack" periods from time to time, and everyone deserves a break now and then. When this happens to you, do you beat yourself up, feel guilty, or let the slack time drag on too long (which means you wind up losing momentum)? You can make a decision right now that you will enjoy your slack time, and be disciplined enough to get back to work when the time is appoprirate. Why not start today?

Go for it!

Back in Action (MASSIVE Action)

Did you miss me?

I have a confession to make. It isn't my newborn that's kept me from posting for nearly 2 weeks. It's somehting else entirely, something I couldn't put my finger on until today, during a conversation wtih my good friend Karrie King.

If you don't have a copy of Bob Scheinfeld's book "Busting Loose from the Money Game" I can only assume that you've either never heard of it, or you are completely in love with every single aspect of your life and manifesting your every whim at lightning speed. Oh, that's not the case? Then rush out to your nearest Barnes and Noble and pick up your copy, I mean like NOW. And if it's 2AM and your store is closed, then hit Amazon.com and snag a copy.

Yeah, it's that remarkable. Earth-shattering. Mind-blowing. Frickin' unreal. (literally).

Anyhoo, Karrie and I have been playing this Phase II game that Bob talks about and I am not kidding you, it will shake the very core of your most solid beliefs.

For starters, according to Bob, everything is an illusion. Everything. Even this blog, your computer, the chair you're sitting in, and YOU.

I can't go into details (let's just say that would be a whole SEPARATE blog!) but just assume for a minute that it's true. That everything -- EVERYTHING -- you experience is an illusion.

Well, I tried that on and sat with it awhile. And you know what happened? I found myself in complete apathy about anything even remotely related to my business.

I thought, "if none of this is real, what's the point? Why keep playing the charade?"

So I haven't blogged. I didn't even send out a newsletter until yesterday. And I haven't felt the slightest bit motivated to DO much of anything on my computer. Which is totally unlike me!

So what shifted? I'm sooooo glad you asked.

During a conversation wtih Karrie, I "got" that although I'm exploring phase II (where we recognize that everything is an illusion created by us, adn we appreciate the vast power we must possess to have made it seem so real) I am still PLAYING this phase I game.

In other words, I know a video game isn't real, but I still want to finish the game! I would never walk away in the middle of a game -- because I WANT to keep playing. I CHOOSE to keep playing!

So I'm playing THIS game we call life, baby! And I'm not walking out on it.

Miraculous. One conversation and suddenly, apathy disappears and is immediately replaced by enthusiasm and inspiration.

After one conversation, sadness and futility are GONE and instantly replaced by JOY, excitement and possibility.

Ah yes, life truly is good. And getting better.

I realize this posting may make no sense whatsoever to someone who isn't in my head (or who hasn't at least read Bob's book). But that;s OK.

It's my game, and I'll play it how I want to play it, thank you. And you are free to do the same with YOUR game of life.

Isn't life grand?

Your QoD: What would shift for you if you viewed life as a game instead of a sentence, a chore, or an experience? What would you do differently?

Great, now go do it!

Think Abundance Now!

In case you haven't heard, I've been pretty busy....doing what, you ask?

Oh, this and that.

On Wednesday I had a baby. See pix here.

On Thursday, I released my gift to the world, spreading a message of abundance for all. Watch it here (5 mins).

And answering emails and telling people about Colin Joss's new book in-between baby feedings. Grab it here.

What can I say? life is good.

Your QoD is this:

What is stopping you from living the life of your dreams? Can you move past that and really start to get that anything -- ANYTHING -- anything is possible for you?

go for it!
