How are you doing?

I've been kinda busy, but totally enjoying my life 😀

What about you?

20/02/2024

Trying to put this in words…

Is fear good or bad?

It can be good because it keeps you safe.

It can be bad because it can keep you from being who you ARE

If there’s a bear in the woods, listening to that fear is from your soul and you should listen

However, if I have fear that’s not so primal, what’s that about?

There seems to be a lot of fear that’s not directly related to physical safety

Most fear, it seems.

I have 2 things I am doing right now.

One is a lot of fun and very challenging. I definitely love it. It’s trading in the forex market. I had never heard of that until Sept 2023. It’s not a get rich quick thing, but it definitely can produce a great income, or not…

It’s like learning a foreign language. But I’m learning it and as I learn, my confidence is increased exponentially. It’s like learning any new skill with peaks and valleys.

The other is my passion, but I’m still figuring it out. I want to help other women who think life is something we survive, get through, and hope to have some happiness and fun along the way.

That’s the bottom line of it. But I’m still working out what that looks like. I have been drawn to a company that sells only a few high end items. The one I started with is a water ionizer from Japan where it is classified as a medical device. I bought it to start a business, but now that I have been using it for several months, I LOVE the product and honestly believe it’s worth the investment. It’s so much more than just drinking water, but I don’t want to get into all that now.

I also believe in the business model. It can be considered direct sales, network marketing, multi-level marketing or high ticket affiliate marketing. People have their different definitions or perceptions. But I believe this business is the vehicle to helping me help other women.

Here’s where the fear comes in…

The first thing I’m doing is all on ME

The second thing involves me reaching out to others and risk

- What will others think? It shouldn’t matter, but it does. The backlash against network marketing/MLMs can be harsh.
- I don’t want to look like a fool
- I LOVE to encourage other women, but what if I say the wrong thing? It’s so much easier in person because I can tell if what I’m saying is hitting the mark, or I’m being misunderstood and then I can clarify. On social media I don’t hear from most of you that will read what I write or listen to what I say
- I have such a heart and passion to help women break free from simply existing! We are meant to THRIVE!!! While I feel that so strongly, I also feel the self-doubt. Who do I think I am?? Why should anyone listen to me?
-

The fear from living my passion doesn’t come from a need to keep myself alive, but from my mind that wants to keep itself safe. I will not DIE if my worst fears come to pass when I try to make an impact in others lives. I may feel like I want to die, but I won’t actually die.

That fear should be faced and moved past. It is a manufactured fear. There is a difference between that fear and the fear I feel faced by a bear in the woods.

I would love your feedback! I started this as a journal entry to work through my thoughts this morning. But I have decided to face this fear and move past it for today. I truly value feedback!

I am so excited about things that are happening in my life right now. I have reconnected with my business and want to share a bit about that.

My life has changed in a major way over the past year or so. I joined the Bob Proctor Coaching program last year based on a desire deep in my soul I wasn't aware of. I just knew it was for me. Until then, my 'personal development' was basically reading books, etc and getting excited about changes I was making, but then losing those changes before long.

Joining BPC was a calling from within that I felt and listened to. It totally changed my life. I learned about paradigms and self-concepts. I learned to instill those changes within and know this is a lifelong process. I will never be finished.

I felt another nudge within me to go from a 9-5 job to something more. I had NO CLUE what that could be when I came across a business opportunity. I was very skeptical, and it went against all the logic I knew, yet I felt something deep in my soul that this was for me.

I have had ups and downs over the last several months since I joined this business. However, I am now certain this is my path. The personal growth I now LIVE as I learn about this business and what it takes is amazing.

It's not easy! Some people who do what I do made massive amounts of money in a VERY short time (within weeks of joining). That's not my story. Once I made peace with that, things have started to changed.

In the beginning I tried to FORCE things to happen. I have learned that, for me, forcing it doesn't work. I am learning to really listen to the inner voice, my intuition, and take *inspired* action, not just *doing the thing* I'm told to do by 'the experts'.

I feel I am learning a different way to do business and I'm really excited about it. It's about ease and flow - not forcing myself into someone else's style of doing business.

I'm not sure what that will look like going forward because I am just taking things one step at a time. My social media is not going to ONLY be about this business and finding my niche. That works for some, but I believe I have more to share.

I hesitated about posting this because I felt I needed to be "successful" and talk about all this money I am making and about financial freedom. I now know I AM successfull. I am living my life in alignment with who I am right now! The peace, joy and gratitude I live with most of the time is my success.

The money will come. I'm not concerned about that. The abundance I feel will overflow. It already has, it just doesn't look like the way I used to think it would.

If you would like to talk, let me know. Comment or send me a DM. It doesn't have to be about the opportunity I have. There have been people who have reached out to me with the sole purpose of recruiting me to whatever *they* have going on. Once I realized that, it felt icky. I don't want you to feel that way if we connect.

I am all about connection just for the sake of connection. Not everyone will join my business. It's not for everyone, but it is for me. and I am so thankful I did find the thing that's for me!

Have an amazing day!!!

I have never heard this quote before, but I love it!

What do you think?

31/01/2024

Today has been a chill day. I have to remember that is OK to have chill days. Especially when I was up until after midnight for the Momentum Mastermind with the community I am a part of.

I am so excited about jumping back in to the high ticket affiliate marketing world. I am glad I have clear confirmation that this is what I am to embrace at this point in my life.

While I was drawn in by the crazy money that *can* be made, the progress I have made within myself and my health have been amazing! I will be talking more about it as I really get into this journey.

I want to be VERY CLEAR that I am not going to hound anyone, or try to convince anyone, to join my business, or buy the products I offer. You do you!

I am going to share my journey, being as transparent as I can, as I learn the skills that this business needs. I am excited to learn and grown!

Have a GREAT evening!

I am so filled with gratitude and appreciate for life at this moment. There are no words to adquately express the feelings I have within. I spent so many years in stuggle and depression.

Don't get me wrong, I have had a good life. I have a wonderful husband and amazing children and the most awesome and special grandchildren. I had a pretty good childhood with parents that love me deeply.

But I struggled within. I now know that peace and happiness come from within. From the connection of who you really are. We are so much more than what we can see. So much more than what we have and do.

The answers are within you! I am very hesitent about what I post because we each have our own perception of what is, of who we think we are. The understanding and awareness I have come to may not be yours. And that is OK.

I LOVE that I don't have to convince anyone of what I now believe. I don't have to change anyone else's mind. It's so freeing. I can just live. Just BE. 💜

You may read this and think I'm crazy. It may not make any sense to you. That's OK. If it resonates with you, that's awesome!

Years ago I cried out for direction. I felt so lost and confused. It took me breaking/shattering and hearing a still, small voice say to me 'if you allow me, I will make you better than you ever imagined'

In desperation and heartache I agreed. It doesn't matter what you call that still, small voice. It was pure love and still is. I believe it is at the core of each and all of us. I love now like I have never loved before. One step after another and I continue on.

My life is not perfect, but I don't want it to be. Perfect means the end 😁 I just turned 60 and feel I have at least 40 more years. Life will only expand and get better.

I will enjoy it NOW, and NOW, and NOW for all the 'now's I have left.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

I absolutely must give a shout out to Farm Fresh Fast , LLC in Simpsonville, SC. I had lunch with a Brigitte there today and it was AMAZING!!! If you are in our area, or passing through, I highly recommend them. It's a small place, but the food and atmosphere is awesome!

I had the Farmhouse Skillet and I asked what the sauce was because it was so amazing, but there was NO sauce. Just there house seasoning and skillfully prepared veggies. My mouth is watering as I type. The portion was huge, so I will be enjoying leftovers for the next couple days.

It was a refreshing change from traditional eating out food. I can't wait to go back!

Did you know you can change your thoughts? Prior to a year ago, I didn't. Not really. I'm talking about those deep down paradigms or beliefs that we all have the operate in our subconscious mind.

#5 on this list by Bob Proctor was the catalyst for changing my life. I really thought the best days of my life were behind me. That was a LIE and I'm so glad it snapped me out of the complacency I was in and caused me to examine that thought.

Honest truth and vulnerability here... I'm still struggling with the idea that I can run a successful business. That thought pops up from deep within me and sabotages my efforts. I won't let it!

I will keep working on what I am doing day by day. While I do say, and believe, that I can do anything I really want to, changing such a deeply held belief takes time. The 1st step for me is admitting that.

What are some paradigms that you have that hold you back?

30/12/2023

This is so true! I used to be the queen of excuses! They seem so real and solid. Now that I have been able to change my life, I see it's worth it to find a way 🥰

19/12/2023

Have you done something that astounds you?

I think the biggest things, I did NOT think I was capable of was raising children. I definitely didn't think I would be able to raise 5 absolutely AMAZING adults!

There's something I want to put out there right now. I have always disliked running. I never saw the point to just running for the heck of it. Well, I have found that there are a number of things I thought I didn't like, that I actually do. So my desire is to become a runner. I would like to run a 5K and also run on a regular basis.

I always said I had bad knees and couldn't do it. However, I also said I couldn't do squats for the same reason. Since I started Supernatural VR Workouts in April, I can now do squats! I am not sure how to go about it, but I know a plan of sorts will reveal. Do I have any runners on here that can give me some advice? There is now an awesome treadmill in my home thanks to Geri Ladd wanting to get in shape too 😁 But I do want to run outside too.

See, I never know what I'm going to write when I get in here LOL

"An old Cherokee told his grandson there is a battle between two wolves inside us all" - Cherokee Proverb

The grandson listened intently as the old Cherokee continued, "One wolf is evil - it is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego."

The young boy looked up at his grandfather with a worried expression, wondering how anyone could overcome such a formidable foe.

"But there is another wolf as well," the Cherokee said, a twinkle in his eye. "This one is good - it is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith."

The boy felt a glimmer of hope as he considered the possibility of this second wolf being stronger than the first.

"Which wolf will win?" he asked his grandfather, eager to know the answer.

The old Cherokee smiled and replied, "The one you feed."

I love this quote. I used to be afraid to look at who I was. I thought that I "KNEW" I was *less than*. If someone would compliment me, I would think "you wouldn't say that if you knew the real me". There are so many people I know that think the same.

I have come to believe that we are truly amazing. I wish I had the words to impress on others (you) the truth of that. But I am also learning that words don't really teach. I think they can lead, but until you know it in your soul, you don't really get it.

I woke up at 2am with the singular thought "what story are you telling yourself?" It was a strong enough thought that I came in to my office to puzzle it out.

I discovered the paid version of ChatGPT and decided to see what it would give me. There's a part of it that will take your thought/idea and turn it into a coloring book page. I thought it was worth a shot and decided to try it out.

I think it turned out pretty well. I definitely had to tweak it, but overall I like how it turned out at 2:30am. LOL

I challenge you to really think about it...

What story are you telling yourself...

I can GUARANTEE that if you are telling yourself negative, self-defeating thoughts that bring up doubt, fear and limitation you are lying to yourself. Those thoughts are not the truth!!!!

YOU ARE AMAZING AND WONDERFUL AND FANTASTIC!! If you don't love yourself, then you need to change the stories you are telling yourself. I never really loved myself, or thought well of myself, until I realized the stories I had been telling myself were based on the paradigms deep in my subconscious.

**misspellings are the AI - I didn't feel like fixing it as I am going back to sleep LOL

14/11/2023

Yikes! New things are hard! Lol!

I tried a different morning yoga. It wasn't specifically for beginners.

I may keep doing it and video myself so I can look back and see how much I improved. That was crazy and I will be amazed if one day I can do what she did. 😁

02/11/2023

What is your why? Have you ever REALLY thought about it? I just learned about an exercise of going 7 levels with your why. I'm getting ready to do this. I've heard that once you really understand your "why" in the core of your being, nothing can stop you from being successfull.

I want to empower women to know that they are more than they think they are. Now I'm going to keep asking myself "why" I want to do what I want until I can't canymore and my goal is to reach at least 5, preferrably 7 levels.

I encourage you to try it and let me know how it worked out for you. There are a lot of YouTube videos that talk about this.

OMG!! I had so much fun this morning!! I woke up at 3:15am, well before my alarm, and had time for meditation/reflection before our monday morning meeting at 4am. It's live from Australia. It was a fantastic meeting and I was called in at the end to talk live about what I got out of the meeting 😁 Somehow I KNEW that was going to happen. It was like confirmation I am on the right track with this business!

The most AWESOME thing I received from this meeting was a definite vision to "Empower the average woman that she is AMAZING!" and can do anything she wants. I believe this will also translate to their children and grandchildren.

I am so excited as I have started stepping into the person I am becoming. AND it's a life-long journey. I have been having so much fun and learning so much. I have tons of ideas and things I want to do!

I am so grateful for the life I am able to live. YOU CAN TOO!!!

Is there something you have been wanting to do??

15/09/2023

I have strawberry plugs! They came in the mail 😁 I learned about a different way to grow strawberries and so I am trying it. They will overwinter and we will have strawberries in the spring.

I took a winter gardening course with the awesome folks at Seedtime and I'm so excited!!

13/09/2023

This is absolutely, positively truth!!!

I am listening to this right now. It's amazing!

Eric Worre is a network marketing professional and shares his wisdom. I love that he breaks down Network Marketing into steps you can follow.

So I took a picture of the webinar Barbie and I did live yesterday. We are gonna review it and talk it over and improve upon it and practice some more.

If you want a link to this one I would love to send it to you! Let me know 🙂

That is what this online educational platform we are part of is teaching us. I never would have thought that I would be doing the types of things I'm doing now and it's so exciting.

I considered myself antisocial. But now I'm deciding that I am very social! I love being around people, I love talking to people and I love helping people.

Have you learned anything new about yourself?

02/09/2023

Is there something you want to do?

Like, REALLY want to do?

You can!

If it is a deep desire, it was put there for a reason! The desire would not be there if it was not possible to achieve!

Do you think there is nothing you desire?
SAME!

I had buried my passion so deeply that I didn't think it existed. When I started this journey this year, and that question about desire/passion was asked, I got very uncomfortable.

But I was tired of the way I was. I just knew there was more to living than merely surviving. I wanted to thrive!

If nothing changes, then nothing changes! So I kept moving forward! One step at a time. The steps seemed so small and sometimes they went backwards.

However, there has been massive movement forward! I love my life and I am passionate about spreading JOY, peace, love and the knowledge that YOU are AMAZING!
