<span style="color: black; font-family: "Century Gothic"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">It was going to be a great workshop, I had awesome material- it
was the kind of workshop that I would love to attend.<br />
I envisioned couples spending quality time together and remembering
why they fell in love in the first place.<br />
I imagined they would leave with a plan in their hand about what they wanted to
accomplish together, and of adventures they wanted to share.<br />
Warmth and fuzziness ensue, everybody leaves happy.</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Century Gothic"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 15.6pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Century Gothic"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Except that didn't happen.</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Century Gothic"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><br />
</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Century Gothic"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Because only two couples signed up.</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Century Gothic"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><br />
</span><em><span style="color: black; font-family: "Century Gothic"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">TWO</span></em><span style="color: black; font-family: "Century Gothic"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> couples.<br />
Probably a thousand people saw the marketing for this thing and only two said
yes.<br />
Four if you count the husbands that the wives were dragging.<br />
I was sad. I was crabby. I was incredulous- REALLY? WTF?<br />
I'm not gonna lie, I was embarrassed.<br />
Crazy thoughts went through my mind about what this meant about my
business- all of them awful.<br />
<br />
In the midst of my panic attack/pity party I remembered that a client told
me she was going to have professional photo shoot that was part of a one
day <a href="http://www.smashbox.com/">Smashbox Cosmetics</a> promotion at
our local Ulta on the day my workshop was scheduled.<br />
She showed me a non-cheesy and truly beautiful head shot taken of her
sister the previous year as part of the same promotion and I thought this could
be a fun, easy way for me to get a great picture for the back of my book
(which will be out by July of this year, come hell or high water.)</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Century Gothic"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><br />
</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Century Gothic"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">I told a bunch of friends and clients about this opportunity
and we formed a little hen party at the store, where we got makeovers by
Smashbox makeup artists and had photos taken by <a href="http://stevenkhanphotography.com/">Steven Khan</a>, a high fashion
photographer who charges $10,000 a session, but free to us as long as we bought
some makeup.<br />
<br />
Honestly, I had on enough makeup for three drag queens-</span><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt;"> </span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Century Gothic"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">but I guess that's what high fashion is all about!<br />
I'm happy with the photos, and more importantly I had a great time with my
friends.<br />
Hats off to Smashbox for creating an event that was great for them and great
for us, win-win!<br />
<br />
There's something funny about this whole workshop debacle.<br />
<strong><span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">If
the workshop had gone ahead, I wouldn't have these pictures.</span></strong><br />
On my list of things to accomplish this year- getting new pictures was
at the top of my list.<br />
Teaching a couples workshop was not.<br />
<br />
The Universe was giving me what I wanted, even though it felt like it was
slapping me in the face.<br />
I wanted professional photos, I got uber professional photos- by a photographer
I would have never have paid $10K.<br />
By including my friends, I helped people I care about get great photos
that they will use on their websites, Linked In, dating sites, or just for
themselves.<br />
<br />
And I WILL have that couples workshop.<br />
The timing was just wrong.<br />
<br />
The Universe is just clearing me a path to get the crap done that I said I
wanted help getting done.<br />
It's happening!!!<br />
And I'll let you know when the couples workshop is rescheduled, but I know it
won't be until I've<em><span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> FINISHED THE FRIGGIN' BOOK. </span></em><br />
By May- pinkie swear.<br />
Happy Spring!<br />

<b><span style="background: white; color: black; font-family: "Century Gothic"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I’m feeling excited.</span></b><span style="color: black; font-family: "Century Gothic"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br />
<span style="background: white;">I am excited for you and for me.</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">I’ve seen such unbelievable growth, such bold
resolve, a stripping away of fears and limitations.</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">Both in you and in me.</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">I just want to say it- <b>I believe in you.</b></span><br />
<span style="background: white;">I believe in your hopes, your dreams, your goals
and your ability to make them happen.</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">I am astounded by your bravery, your honesty,
and your commitment.</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">I am inspired by your willingness, creativity,
and your sense of humor.</span><br />
<b><span style="background: white;">My wish for you this year is that you do not
beat yourself into submission to achieve another New Year’s resolution.</span></b><br />
<span style="background: white;">My wish for you is that you talk to yourself
with kindness, love and compassion.</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">Because, my friends- there’s an easy way to do
things and a hard way.</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">We’ve been raised to think we need to do things
the hard way.</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">‘I can’t take the easy way out!”</span><br />
<b><span style="background: white;">What if we looked at the kindest way to
accomplish our goals?</span></b><br />
<span style="background: white;">What’s the compassionate path to attaining
our dreams?</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">When we beat ourselves into submission,
sometimes we go so hard that we actually stop ourselves in our tracks, and then
we go running for cover and lose momentum.</span><br />
<b><span style="background: white;">I’m proposing a gentle resolution.</span></b><br />
<span style="background: white;">Make goals that feel good and make sure the ways
that you go after them feel good, too.</span><br />
<b><span style="background: white;">How do you want to feel?</span></b><br />
<span style="background: white;">Want to feel joyful and inspired?</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">Make that your goal, and then plan how to attain
those feelings backward from there.</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">Allow your good feelings to build momentum –
rinse and repeat. </span><br />
<span style="background: white;">You'll be amazed at what you can create from a
kinder place.</span></span><span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Stop Acting Like Clark Kent.<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 10px; line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 14px;">I love talking to dead people.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 10px; line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">An odd statement, I know. But I really do.<br /><br />I returned from a mediumship workshop in Mission Viejo earlier this month taught by acclaimed mediums James Van Praagh and Lynn Probert with several friends where we flexed our psychic muscles.<br /><br />My friends laughed when I said I love these workshops because I get to work with "fresh meat."<br /><br />That’s a technical and evolved term for people I’ve never met that will let me talk to their dead relatives and friends for the purpose of facilitating communication with a loved one.<br /><br />What I find fascinating is that some of the best readings I received were from complete newbies.<br /><br />In fact, a lot of the attendees were under the misconception that this workshop was actually a lecture and that they would be learning about mediumship in the theoretical, not in the practical.<br /><br />As in "We’re throwing you in front of a stranger! Go be psychic, ok?"<br /><br />No big deal.<br /><br />After this fantastic, vulnerable, and exciting process- here’s what I’ve come away with.<br /><br /><strong>Stop pretending you aren’t powerful. </strong><br /><br />Seriously, stop. I’m pretty over it.<br /><br />I really do believe this quote from Marianne Williamson,</span></span><br />
<br />
<em><span style="color: #181818; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be?"</span></em><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><em> </em><br /><br />If we really are powerful, and not just along for the ride of whatever the world (or our family, or our boss, etc.) wants to do with us-then we’ve got some explaining to do.<br /><br />Watching psychic virgins give dead on readings to strangers really made me think about the amazing abilities we all have at our disposal.<br /><br />At the workshop, we were taught to imagine a huge column of gold light emanating from the ground and up to the sky.<br /><br />When we stood in the light, we were stepping into our power.<br /><br />What a perfect tool for all of us who want to feel more empowered!<br /><br />It’s the metaphorical phone booth that Clark Kent goes into to become Superman.<br /><br />Hear me now, if someone with no previous training can give me amazing details about the life and death of my beloved grandma, imagine what we can do in our everyday lives.<br /><br />Being powerful is a practice and a choice.<br /><br />The first act of power is allowing yourself to know what you want.<br /><br /><strong>What do you want?</strong><br /><br />If you don’t know what you want, or you are afraid to claim it- personal power will always be just out of your reach.<br /><br />Will knowing what you want and getting it change a situation or relationship in your life?<br /><br />Does that scare you?<br /><br />Will changing your life be inconvenient?<br /><br />It will be, change is rarely convenient.<br /><br />But connecting to your powerful soul and listening to it’s yearnings is a hell of a great way to live.<br /><br />Stop all of this nonsense about limitation- not qualified enough, not lovable enough, not knowledgable enough, not having enough.<br /><br />We live in an abundant universe where everything is possible.<br /><br />I’m on to you- I can see your magnificence from here, even If you can’t.<br /><br />Just step into your power, it’s right there waiting for you.<br /><br /> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">You may remember
that Beyonce is one of my mojo idols. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">When one can channel their inner Beyonce
(or Sacha Fierce!) some epic shit can get done. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">Well, a few weeks ago, I was
coaching a client on her relationship with a man who wasn’t treating her with
the respect that she deserved. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">My client wanted more of a commitment from him,
and he continually failed to show up for her at crucial moments when she needed
him. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">As I was listening to her, the Beyonce song “Irreplaceable” popped into my
head. You know the one-<i>“To the left, to the left- everything you own in a box
to the left”. </i>Being an intuitive coach, this kind of thing happens to me all
the time and I share these intuitive blips with certain clients if I think they
could be helpful. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">A few minutes later, my client told me of her partner’s
jealousy about a man who had just asked her out. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">New Beyonce song this time…”<i>if you
liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it, don’t be mad when you see that he
want it, if you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it, oh, oh, oh.” </i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">Of
course, because it’s me- and I have a sass mouth- I sang these little hooks to
her. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">She burst out laughing, realizing that I still saw her as the spunky woman
that she had forgotten herself to be.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">You knew that Beyonce is known for songs about female empowerment- but
who knew that she’s the mastermind behind some awesome coaching tools on a virtual cornucopia of topics?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Maybe you've already broken yours!<br />
I'll give you a short cut to resolutions- make it practical and specific.<br />
Keep the reason <i>why</i> you are making the resolution at the top
of your mind.<br />
<br />
I propose that you go about this resolution business a different way.<br />
Take a look back at the last year and notice what you accomplished.<br />
I'll bet that there are a few things that you may not have thought you could
ever do.<br />
There are so many things we have to be proud of...</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Century Gothic"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br />

Running a half marathon.<br />
Overcoming an addiction.<br />
Falling in love again.<br />
Dealing with a significant health challenge.<br />
Honing a new skill.<br />
Learning to talk to dead people...</span></i><span style="color: black; font-family: "Century Gothic"; font-size: 10.5pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br />

at what you survived.<br />
And how you thrived in 2013.<br />
Now give yourself a pat on the back and get to work.<br />
Get to work on new aspirations for yourself.<br />
Dream big, bigger than you have before.<br />
Let go of confining "rules" about how you <i>should</i> do
things- and blaze your own path.<br />
Summon up your courage and call upon your mojo.<br />
Go after what you really want.<br />
And if you want help, I'm here for you.<br />
We can build a plan together.<br />
But more importantly, just take the first step.<br />
You've got this!</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Century Gothic"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 14pt;">The holiday season is upon us and I can't think
of a better topic to talk about than cultivating joy.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Century Gothic"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">
<span style="background: white;">It's the common desire I hear the most from my
clients.</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">Some tell me they aren't sure if they know what
true joy feels like.</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">Joy is the feeling you get when your heart is
full, your body feels light, and you lose track of time. That's it.</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">It doesn't have to feel like ecstasy, just
JOY! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Dr. Martha Beck wrote a book called "The
Joy Diet" in which she says there are ten ingredients for joy: </span><br />
<b><span style="background: white;">nothing, truth, desire, creativity, risk,
treats, play, laughter, connection, and feasting.</span></b><br />
<span style="background: white;">Some of these ingredients may sound strange to</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">you, but there's a method to her madness.</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="background: white;">Nothing</span></b><span style="background: white;"> is actually just doing nothing for 15 minutes a day. Call it
meditation if you like, but it's the time to quiet the unruly mind and become
still.</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="background: white;">Truth</span></b><span style="background: white;"> is
uncovering the real feelings you have that you are pretending not to know.</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">Yes, I said pretending.</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">As in, making something ok that actually isn't.</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">A huge dose of truth is essential to joy- even
though it may be painful at first to allow.</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="background: white;">Desire</span></b><span style="background: white;"> is the truth about what you <i>really really really</i>want.
Follow the bread crumb trail of your desires to joy!</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="background: white;">Creativity</span></b><span style="background: white;"> is the antithesis of stagnation.</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">Find new solutions to your problems, drive home
a different way from work, do tasks in a different order, or pull out some art
supplies and go wild. </span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="background: white;">Risk</span></b><span style="background: white;"> is
doing more things that scare you, make you nervous, or feel somewhat out of
character. You'll be amazed at how alive you feel when you break out of your
patterns.</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="background: white;">Treats</span></b><span style="background: white;"> are, well- treats! They don't have to be food treats. Think of
them as random acts of kindness that you perform for yourself!</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="background: white;">Play</span></b><span style="background: white;"> is
critical for cultivating joy.</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">All work and no play does indeed make Jack a
very dull boy. Go do fun stuff- that's called <i>playing.</i></span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="background: white;">Laughter</span></b><span style="background: white;"> is the best medicine- we all know that. Make sure you are
deliberate about more laughter in your life- go to a comedy club, see a funny
movie, play with your dog, or watch You Tube videos.</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="background: white;">Connection</span></b><span style="background: white;"> is KEY to joy. </span><br />
<span style="background: white;">Put down your phone, open up your heart and
really look at and converse with someone you care about.</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="background: white;">Feasting</span></b><span style="background: white;"> is nourishing your spirit with celebrations and gratitude-or pie,
there's always pie. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Put all of these ingredients together and you've
got a recipe for goodness- soak it in!</span></span><span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Emotions that are not processed fully get stuck in your energetic body like nasty hair clogs in a drain. Even the beliefs you hold about yourself are stored there. Really, it’s true! If you have some pain going on in your life that you would like to detach from, please consider learning more about your chakra system.</span></span></span></span></strong></h3>

<strong><span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: TR Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br />(Listen to what Dr. Oz has to say about chakras<a href="http://%20http//www.doctoroz.com/episode/secrets-your-chakras-7-energy-centers)" style="color: #6dc6dd; word-wrap: break-word;" target="_self"> HERE</a>)</span></span></span></span></strong><br /><br /><span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: TR Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">I am really excited to announce a new service that I am providing. Psychic massage therapist Carolyn Ulitsky and I have pioneered a new energy healing modality that incorporates several dynamics at once. You will lie down on a comfortable massage table, clothes on and face up.<br /><br />We begin with an intuitive reading of your chakra system. We scan these energetic centers to assess any issues that are impeding your physical or emotional health and wellbeing. We weave in Reiki and aromatherapy to assist your body’s own healing ability. Past life issues affecting you today are often addressed, and we work with your spirit guides and angels to bring you into alignment with your most optimal health. We can see where you are being drained, and give you strategies to combat that drainage. Carolyn monitors your cranio sacral flow and energy meridians while I gently use mind/body coaching techniques to increase your sense of clarity, vitality and peace of mind. We often find the hidden energetic patterns that are causing pain. It’s like a deep cleaning for your soul!<br /><br />How do you know if this would be beneficial for you? Well, if you are someone who is interested in experiencing more joy and less pain and overall stuck-ness, this process is for you! Each appointment lasts a little over 90 minutes, and right now Carolyn and I are only facilitating this “healing mojo” as we’ve been calling it on Fridays. Our fee is $250 for the session.<br /><br />Here’s what some of our clients have to say about the Healing Mojo experience…<br /><br /><em><span style="font-size: 12px;">“ I had an amazing healing session with Keisha and her partner Carolyn on Friday! It was very deep and powerful. These 2 women are truly working magic! I wish you could all experience it.”<br /><br />“The sack of potatoes I've been carrying on my back has lifted. So I feel lighter and simultaneously stronger- thanks again!”<br /><br />“Besides my cold leaving, all my toe pain is completely gone!”<br /><br />"That was absolutely incredible, I feel so light! Thank you both so much."<br /><br />“I felt completely safe with you guys. There is some powerful healing going on.”</span></em><br /><br />Sign up for Healing Mojo on my website here...<a href="http://keishagallegos.com/hire-me/healing-mojo/" style="color: #6dc6dd; word-wrap: break-word;" target="_self">HERE</a>.</span></span></span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: 'TR Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: normal;">Email me at </span><a href="mailto:keishagallegos@gmail.com" style="color: #6dc6dd; font-family: 'TR Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: normal; word-wrap: break-word;" target="_self">keishagallegos@gmail.com</a><span style="font-family: 'TR Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: normal;"> to make an appointment.</span></h3>

<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">Fellow life coach extraordinaire Mary Welty-Dapkus
and I had this great idea to facilitate an all day workshop on the chakra
system (it’s one of the most important aspects of your wellbeing that you may
not know much about) called “Camp Chakra”. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">Mary came up with
a kick-ass logo, I created a witty marketing page, we both designed a beautiful
workbook, lesson plan, group activity and craft project. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">We’ve spent weeks
preparing the best possible experience we can for our participants, and we
really believe in our approach to the information we are sharing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">We both promoted
the heck out of the event to all our people, and then some! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">Everyone we
talked to about it thought it was a cool idea and loads said they wanted to
attend. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">But with only
five days before the event we had four people signed up to attend- hardly the
“camp” experience we had envisioned. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

like a GPS, and decided to recalculate. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">We just postponed
the date, to October 20<sup>th</sup>- to give all the people who told us that

you work really hard on a project, or a diet, or a relationship, and you find
yourself disappointed with the results- get up, dust yourself off, and get over
it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">I hope you all had a great summer and you
are excited about the coming change of seasons. I had the time of my life a few
weeks ago when several friends and I went to Laguna Beach for a week-long class
on mediumship with James Van Praagh.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">It was like psychic summer camp!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">For 5 straight days we received readings
and gave readings- it was fantastic! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">And I am thrilled to say that all of us
made contact with “the other side”. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">It sounds so dramatic, maybe even scary-
but I am here to tell you that it was neither. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">Here was my experience…<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">*I did not physically see any spirits, I
“saw” impressions that came into my mind’s eye.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">*Talking to spirits is not actually
dramatic, it’s much like talking to anyone else, but it’s harder to see and
hear what they are saying!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">*Dead does not mean smart or necessarily
evolved. Spirits retain their personalities that they had on Earth. Pushy in
life, pushy in the after life! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">*You don’t always hear from the person you
think you will. The spirit is in charge of whether that happens. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">*It’s hard work on the spirit’s part to
communicate a clear message, and some spirits are more skilled at it than
others.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">*You can learn to communicate with your
loved ones in spirit by dismissing the mind chatter and focusing on the heart
to heart connection you feel.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">I was amazed at our ability to receive and
communicate credible evidential details from spirits! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">As in, “I see a blonde lady named Pat who
says she’s 57 when she passed away and she had a lot of trouble with her
stomach, she’s calling you “Lynnie”. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">I think she’s your aunt, and she is
telling me something about your real estate.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">Turns out it was the client’s (Linda) Aunt
Pat, who called her niece “Lynnie”, died at 57, plagued with stomach trouble,
and she left Linda her HOUSE! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">So what has all this talking to the dead
taught me? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">It’s reaffirmed my belief in the
afterlife, and reignited my passion for teaching people how to use and trust
their intuition. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">Intuition is the language of the soul, and
I can’t think of a more important language to be fluent in. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";"><o:p><br /></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">I was having fun by being myself and playing around outside my comfort zone. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">This year I’m
doing that in a whole new way- not with silly hair, but by taking a class that
is wayyyyy outside most people’s view of “normal.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">But that’s how I
roll, so here it is…I’m going to Laguna Beach in August to take an intensive weeklong
class in mediumship. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">As in, learning
to talk to dead people. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">Like “Long Island
Medium” without the long nails and helmet hair.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">I’ll be learning
from a very famous and well respected (if you’re into this sort of thing)
medium James Van Praagh. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">I’ve followed his
work for 20 years, and I love that he helps people with their grief
and how he teaches about spirituality with so much love and so little ego. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">I’ve had so many

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">I’ll tell you
why- it validates my belief in the after life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">I love how
hearing a message from a departed loved one can help a grieving person with the
healing process. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">It proves to me
that this is not all there is- that our existence has meaning and purpose
beyond our every day life and that our spirits survive long after our bodies
are gone.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">It’s the next
step on my intuitive journey.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">This year I’ve
learned even more new tools for reading energy that have broadened my career scope and deepened my skills as an intuitive coach. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">I’ve <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">always </i>wanted to take this class, but
I’ve never given myself permission. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">When my friend
Ama told me she was taking it, at first I was a little jealous.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">And then I
remembered what I tell my clients about jealousy…<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">“If you’re
jealous of someone else, don’t be mad at yourself. Let it be a sign that tells
you what you want.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">Well that desire
spoke to me loud and clear through my jealousy, and I started the process of
breaking down all of my crappy thoughts that I was thinking about why now is
not a good time to take this class. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">“I can always
learn later.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">“It’s too far
away. Maybe someday he’ll come up here and teach it.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">“I shouldn’t
spend the money on tuition and travel right now.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">“It’s kind of
self-indulgent.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">When I hit on
that last one, I knew it was time to call my own bluff. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">The fact that it
felt self-indulgent was how I knew it was good for me to put my money where my
mouth is.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">It feels so
fabulous, exciting and nurturing to my soul to allow myself this gift.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">Now Ama and I
have two other friends (yay Carolyn and Mike!) going with us, and my husband
Alex is coming to Laguna to do some art business with the galleries in the
area. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">Win, win, win! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">We’re meeting Mike’s
wife, our good friend and Reiki master Chellie Kammermeyer, for a day in
Catalina- and we’ll be stopping over in Santa Barbara for my birthday before
heading home. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">Happy birthday to
me!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">So, I’m telling
you all of this not just to keep you abreast of my summer plans, but to
encourage you to do that thing that you keep saying you want to do, but just
haven’t done it yet.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">And to really own
who you are and what you are interested in, even if you might be judged or
ridiculed for it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">Because even if
you lose a few people as a result of being true to you, I promise you there
will be many more who will gravitate toward you because they really dig who you
are and what you do. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">Go forth and own
your inner weirdo! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">You are worth
being “self-indulgent”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Last
month, I wrote about some things that I stopped doing that transformed
my life. Let me elaborate on how I stopped doing things that were
counterproductive, and what I started doing instead. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"><b>1. I stopped living in fear</b>.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">According
to The Course in Miracles, there are only two real emotions- love and fear. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Everything else is a byproduct of the two. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Whenever I find myself in a situation, I start by thinking-
am I being motivated by love or fear right now? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">If I have to ask, it usually
means fear!</span><span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic';"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic';">It may be fear of being hurt, fear of not being liked, fear of
doing the wrong thing. </span><span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic';"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic';">Instead of
thinking about all the things that could go wrong if I take a chance, I changed
my thinking to focus on all the things I stand to gain if I am brave enough to
be bold.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"><b>2</b>.
<b>I stopped trying so hard.</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"> I used to
try ridiculously hard to please other people. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Through much pain and suffering,
I realized that was a total waste of time, and impossible to do on a regular
basis. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Now I try to please myself instead. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">I do what I want for who I want,
when I want to do it. It sounds simplistic- but it’s actually more possible
than you think. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">It’s efficient, has no strings attached, and I feel much less
resentful as a result.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"><b>3</b>.
<b>I stopped trying to fix other people</b>. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Before I became an actual life coach, I was a wannabe life coach.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">I would see
people’s issues, and I would try to “help” them. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Sometimes, people were grateful. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">But sometimes, I jumped in
to help when I hadn’t been asked to help. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">That can be kinda awkward, and
possibly irritating. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">So I trained to be a life coach, and now I work with
people that actually ask for my help. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Much better. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"><b>4. I stopped thinking that success has to be
difficult. </b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">I used to think
that people who were successful had to work incessantly, swallow a lot of
corporate crap, play politics, and do a lot of things that they didn’t really
want to do. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">I believe this model is outdated. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Being successful begins
with defining what success means to you.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">For me it means using my talents,
working with wonderful people, making a difference, having a flexible schedule,
continually growing, and being paid what I’m worth. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Having work that
encompasses those characteristics doesn’t feel difficult at all!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">5. I stopped
thinking I need to work first and play later to be successful.</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"></span></b><span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">I’ve found that
when I regularly intersperse work with play, I get more done. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">When I take
little fun breaks throughout the day to have lunch with a friend, play with my
dogs, or go to a meetup to learn about something new- I end up inspired,
refreshed and ready to work again rather than burned out and pissed off that
I’m always working. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Even an hour at the mall window shopping does the trick for
me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">6. I stopped
strategizing and being so damned logical.</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"></span></b><span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">I’ve learned that using more logic and
less heart is a lethal combination in my line of work. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">I much prefer using an intuitive,
feel good approach when making business decisions and I’ve cut down on my need
to control for the outcome. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">More heart, less brain. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Crazy, right? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">It may look
like magical thinking to some, but I’m here to tell you that it works.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">7. I stop and
rest when I am tired rather than pushing through. </span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">This should be
self explanatory, but in our culture, we have a work ethic that commends suffering
and exhaustion.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">I am personally over that. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic';">Just look around- stressed out,
freaked out, diseased people everywhere. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic';">I jumped off that crazy train, and I
invite you to do the same.</span><span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic';"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic';">Embrace
“good enough” with the parts of your life that aren’t crucial, and go for
awesome with what is really important.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">8. I stopped
hiding from my gifts. </span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">This is a particularly tough one- because we are
taught to demonstrate false modesty. I look at it this way…we are all given
gifts for a reason. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Use your gifts to help the world- whether it’s to
entertain, to heal, to advance technologically, to serve or to protect. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">It’s
our obligation. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Quit hiding your brilliance, the world needs you to show up.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">9. I stopped
watching the crime blotter, otherwise known as “the news”.</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"></span></b><span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Our nervous
systems are not made to deal with every heinous act committed on our planet, 24
hours a day, in color, on every device we possess that communicates with the
outside world. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">It’s too much. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">I glance at the events going on in the world via
my home page, and do the very best I can to be a helpful, kind person to every
single person I encounter. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Obsessing about criminal activity does not help me
to serve humanity- it makes me afraid to leave my house. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic';">Much more good goes on
in the world than bad, but that doesn’t sell- fear does. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic';">I just don’t have to
buy it.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">10. I stopped

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">It doesn’t really go away, no
matter how hard I try. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Here are the facts- I’ve worked very hard to have a
great marriage, hilarious good hearted kids, friends I couldn’t live without,
good health, financial security and work that I love.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">I'm almost afraid to say all of that out loud. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">I’ve chosen love
more than I’ve chosen fear, and I’ve tried hard to clean out the dark and scary
places in my own mind by shining light on the shadows and being extremely
uncomfortable in the process. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">My life is wonderfully fulfilling, sometimes
messy and almost always authentic. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">I wouldn’t have it any other way, and if
that means I am too much for some- then they are not my people. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">And I am

<span style="color: #323232; font-family: 'Century Gothic', 'ITC Avant Garde', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><div align="left" style="font-size: 9pt; text-align: justify;">
I love nothing more than to help people get their mojo back. In fact, it's the request I get most from new clients. I've realized from coaching hundreds of people over the last four years, that finding, coaxing and magnifying mojo is actually what I do best. It's my gift.</div>
<div align="left" style="font-size: 9pt; text-align: justify;">
I can coax mojo out of the darndest places. Places where most of us forget to look, or have lost the map to entirely. Honestly, I have yet to find a person that I cannot identify their own unique mojo potion.</div>
<div align="left" style="font-size: 9pt; text-align: justify;">
Most people have an idea of what mojo is- confidence, swag, spirit, luck. I have a little different take on it. I believe mojo is your</div>
<div align="left" style="font-size: 9pt; text-align: justify;">
M- Magical</div>
<div align="left" style="font-size: 9pt; text-align: justify;">
O- Original</div>
<div align="left" style="font-size: 9pt; text-align: justify;">
J- Joyful</div>
<div align="left" style="font-size: 9pt; text-align: justify;">
O- Offering to the world</div>
<div align="left" style="font-size: 9pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', 'ITC Avant Garde', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And the more you engage your magical, original, joyful offering to the world, the more your mojo multiplies. The moment you recognize what constitutes your own mojo -begin using it in everything you do. No more conforming, no more making yourself small, no more doubting your gifts. You may not believe this, but an integral part of your mojo is probably something that you've tried to change about yourself- to make it easier to fit in. The one thing that is universal about our mojo- it is built on a foundation of authenticity. <i>Always. </i></span></div>
<div align="left" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', 'ITC Avant Garde', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; text-align: justify;">
I love mojo whispering so much, I've decided to re-brand my business to reflect my identification with it. I am also declaring out loud that I am writing a book on the process of magnifying your mojo. Yes, I am. A daunting, terrifying and exciting undertaking to be sure. But I believe that I will rise to the challenge. Wish me luck!</div>

hatchet job, I cannot believe the how much calmer I feel. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">I had no idea how
distracting looking at those extraneous messages was, and that each one was
making me a teensy bit anxious by showing up regularly, asking for some attention. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">It’s so important to lessen the
stimulus that bombards us in a negative way. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">So, when you are done
unsubscribing from junk emails, go on to ditching magazine subscriptions for
mags you don’t read, put your phone number on the Do Not Call registry for telemarketers,
and scroll through your DVR and stop recording shows you don’t watch. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">When you’re
really on a roll, go through one drawer in your house and ask your self these
questions…</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">Is it useful?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">Is it beautiful?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">Does it bring me joy? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">If the answer is
no to all of these questions- get rid of it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>Donate it to an organization that can use it. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">Think of it
like Woody in Toy Story. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">He wants to be played with and loved. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">When Andy got
too old to play with Woody, he gave him to a little girl who would love him,
rather than keeping him in the back of a closet to collect dust.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">Do that with your stuff. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">We’ve all got things that are
weighing us down, and taking up mental or physical space. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic';">Just start with one
thing, and see how you feel.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">Now if you’ll
excuse me, I am going to attack the tragic wreckage that is my toiletry cabinet
under my bathroom sink. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">If you don’t hear from me for a while, come looking for
me- it’s scary under there! Happy simplifying!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 17px;">And, when I actually do something about what I complain about (in this case, my fitness level), the mean girl who lives in my head and berates me shuts her trap and chills out. </span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm turning 44 next month, and I'm throwing myself a party.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A fantastic birthday party with a big fat cake, decorations, food and music. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Don't you want to wait until your 45th birthday to have a party, Keisha?" my pragmatic husband, Alex, asked.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yet something about this year has me fired up, and I want to make ever single minute count. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I didn't really know why until I went last month to get a mammogram. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My mother died. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">At 45. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Of breast cancer. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She found a lump just a few days before her 44th birthday. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Her 44th year was filled with fear, confusion, surgeries, chemotherapy and radiation. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She lost her hair, her health, and her dignity. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My mom never had birthday parties as an adult. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She would always say her birthday was no big deal. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On the other hand, I am a celebrator! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'll celebrate anything...birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, the first Thursday of the month-whatever. Any excuse for a party. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So when I realized that I am the same age my mom was when she was diagnosed with the disease that ultimately killed her, I decided that I was going to celebrate my 44th year in a very different way. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am in the prime of my life~happier than I've ever been.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm married to the love of my life for 21 years. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My kids are happy, healthy, productive people.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have better relationships now than ever. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm doing work that I love, and watching my clients dreams come true while I live out my own.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am taking better care of myself emotionally, physically and spiritually than ever before.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have <b>a lot</b> to celebrate. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Alex asked me if I wanted him to take over the party planning. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"No," I said casually. I am actually quite proud of the fact that I am throwing my own party and I don't care who knows about it.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm not going to wait for a <i>more important</i> birthday to celebrate my life. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm going to shake my booty for any old reason I feel like it. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Arbor day, flag day, or even my un-birthday. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>AND</b> I put bright pink streaks in my hair. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Why? </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Because I can, and because I'm never going to be as young as I am today. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">That's why. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Because since when do I give a rip about being practical? </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Not now, and hopefully not ever.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Go out and do something to celebrate yourself.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Don't wait for a "good reason".</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You are here, you're alive, and you are worth making a fuss over. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tell me what kind of a soiree you throw yourself- today!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One of the core issues I coach my clients on is confidence. I found a great book with lots of juicy material on how to bridge the gap between fear and confidence called "The Confidence Gap" by Russ Harris. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>5 Main Reasons for Low Self-Confidence-</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ol>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Excessive expectations</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Harsh self judgement</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Preoccupation with fear</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lack of experience</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lack of skills </span></li>
</ol>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Which of these reasons is holding you back from doing something that's on your bucket list? According to Harris, here's how you get good at doing anything: First practice the skills necessary to accomplish your goal. Second, apply them effectively. Third, assess the results, and fourth, modify as needed. That's it. It may seem oversimplified, but it's the truth. Don't allow yourself to believe that you must wait until you feel more confident to attempt something a little scary.</span><br /><br />

</div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
So I am studying with my teacher, Martha Beck, to be a master life coach. </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
It is a rigorous and prestigious program that I am thrilled to be a part of. </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Our first assignment was to write a self help article to post on a forum for the other students and teachers to critique. </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Then we were critiqued by Martha. </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
She's a very famous author of extremely popular self help books and two best selling memoirs. </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
And she has a monthly column in Oprah's magazine. </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Martha was going to read what I wrote and then she was going to tell me what was wrong with it. </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
A while ago, this would have struck terror in me...I would have been frozen with fear and had stories galore about what a terrible writer I am, and how awful this experience was going to be. </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
But something strange happened- I decided that I was willing to totally suck at my assignment. </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
That decision freed me.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
I decided that I am a student, so it is my job to attempt and fail, and then attempt again. </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
I am not a great writer, and I truly never really aspired to be a published author. </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Several of my classmates dream of publishing memoirs or having their own self help column in a magazine. </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Not me. </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
At some point it would be <i>nice</i> to write a book, but it's not dying to erupt from my loins. </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Martha is a world class writer, and that's what she always wanted to be. </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Why would I compare my own writing to hers? </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Why would I despair at the fear that she is going to say my writing is shit, and I need to give up for good? </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
What's funny is, she actually told our class that we are all excellent writers already. </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Martha gave us constructive criticism about how to make our articles better- and without fail, I thought her ideas were completely on target. </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
I am honored to learn from a master! </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
It doesn't mean I have to be a master writer, ever.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
It means I have to put my ego to the side, open my ears, listen to the feedback and continue to write from an earnest place. </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
It means I have to be willing to do a terrible job, then learn from my mistakes, and drop the idea of being perfect. </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Because of that, I am becoming a better writer.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
What are you willing to suck at? </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Where are you willing to put your ego to the side? </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
What are you afraid to try because you don't know what the hell you're doing? </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Challenge yourself to start anyway. </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Attempt and fail. </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Take stock, and attempt again. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last month I went to the Martha Beck Life Coach Summit in Phoenix, where I learned all kinds of new fantastic stuff that I want to pass on to you.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The best tool I learned was from Law of Attraction Coach, Jeannette Maw- who told us she learned it from author and speaker, Gregg Braden.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's something called the Pray Rain Journal, which I renamed the <i>Magic Manifesting Journal</i>.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This tool has changed my life!</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What you do is write one page a day about what you want to happen, but you write it in the present tense- <b>as if</b> it's already happened.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You start with phrases like, "I am.. I have...I enjoy..." and add your vision of what you'd like your life to be like. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I absolutely <i>hate</i> journaling, and I have many different notebooks in my house with three pages written in them because I didn't follow through on whatever my big idea for writing was. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have actually kept this up for a month, which I am sure is a record. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There is something about saying what you want, putting it on paper and out into the Universe that is a powerful vehicle for manifesting what your heart desires.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When I am writing in it, I feel like I have a magic wand.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">At first, I had to suspend belief while writing and blow smoke up my own ass about what was "happening". </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I must have done a great job, because every single thing I wrote in the first week happened, and I had no good reason to think any of it would. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It focused my intention on what I wanted, and made me feel more courageous to go after it. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Seeing it on paper as done, even though what I wrote hadn't happened yet seemed to set up an expectation in my brain that it <i>would</i> be done.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I believe it also sent a message to the Universe that I was ready for what I was asking for.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Since starting this magical journal, I have manifested some amazing things- a place in a small, prestigious and full training program that had chosen it's participants a month prior, tickets to an event that I wanted to go to, and a private meeting with a person that I idolize. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Writing in the journal puts me in an emotional space where I feel powerful, abundant and expectant of great things. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After putting my intention out there, I look for ways to make my hopes a reality. I am in the process of co-creating with the Universe, rather than sitting around waiting for things to fall into my lap. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am really looking forward to seeing what else I can create using this new habit. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It forces me to dream big!</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Start your own<i> Magic Manifesting Journal</i> and share your success stories in the comments. Happy manifesting!</span></div>The Mojo Whispererhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14564349899631143881noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2792179903167494508.post-64061050369566085322012-01-16T17:58:00.000-08:002012-01-16T17:58:55.873-08:00Goal Setting For Stuck People<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <o:DocumentProperties> <o:Template>Normal.dotm</o:Template> <o:Revision>0</o:Revision> <o:TotalTime>0</o:TotalTime> <o:Pages>1</o:Pages> <o:Words>579</o:Words> <o:Characters>3301</o:Characters> <o:Company>a</o:Company> <o:Lines>27</o:Lines> <o:Paragraphs>6</o:Paragraphs> <o:CharactersWithSpaces>4053</o:CharactersWithSpaces> <o:Version>12.0</o:Version> </o:DocumentProperties> <o:OfficeDocumentSettings> <o:AllowPNG/> </o:OfficeDocumentSettings> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:TrackMoves>false</w:TrackMoves> <w:TrackFormatting/> <w:PunctuationKerning/> <w:DrawingGridHorizontalSpacing>18 pt</w:DrawingGridHorizontalSpacing> <w:DrawingGridVerticalSpacing>18 pt</w:DrawingGridVerticalSpacing> <w:DisplayHorizontalDrawingGridEvery>0</w:DisplayHorizontalDrawingGridEvery> <w:DisplayVerticalDrawingGridEvery>0</w:DisplayVerticalDrawingGridEvery> <w:ValidateAgainstSchemas/> <w:SaveIfXMLInvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:IgnoreMixedContent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:Compatibility> <w:BreakWrappedTables/> <w:DontGrowAutofit/> <w:DontAutofitConstrainedTables/> <w:DontVertAlignInTxbx/> </w:Compatibility> </w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:LatentStyles DefLockedState="false" LatentStyleCount="276"> </w:LatentStyles> </xml><![endif]--> <!--[if gte mso 10]> <style>
