What I know today is that too many people torture themselves trying to do what they think everyone else wants them to do, instead of what is right for them! As I go through this process of change and transformation with my blogging and on-line business, I find it quite terrifying! I find myself letting go of old beliefs and letting go of my old way of doing things. Through this process if you want different results in your life you must do things that you have never done before.
I find myself wanting to do things that other people want and realize that I am too focused on what people want from me. What I am quickly realizing is that I need to do what I WANT to do, and the rest will take are of itself. I was brought up with high expectations and therefore never want to do anything unless it is perfect. What I have realized is that my life is passing me by because I am waiting for it all to be perfect before I get started. Well, if I wait until it is all perfect, it will never happen will it?
Fear has been holding me in it's grip! I now realize that waiting for perfection is a backward approach, and have realized that I need to just start doing what I do, and the rest will start to play out. It doesn't have to be perfect, as long as I just get started. I have too many things to share with others, things that I have learned through studying what I love. If things go in a direction I don't want them to I can always course correct!
The other thing I need to remember is that it is ok to make mistakes! We learn from our mistakes and sometimes mistakes take us down an unexpected path to something bigger than we ever dreamed of!
No matter what you have going on in your life, take a good look within. What do you want? What feels right for you and where you are at? Let go of what others are expecting of you, or wanting from you. What do you need to do to feed yourself and nurture yourself on the deepest levels?
Do you feel depleted? If you answered yes, you have been acting for others instead of taking care of your needs. It is time to change that old mindset. No one else can do it but you! Only you know on the deepest levels what you are needing at this time. So give yourself a gift today and start listening. What do you want?

The Secret To Life!
What I Know Today is that there is a great book out there that changed my life when it came out. Today I want to share it with you, if you haven't heard of it or haven't read it you should consider it. Especially if you feel there are areas in your life that are in need of improvement!
There are four key areas in life Career, Health, Relationships, and Finances. If you can't give each of the 4 key areas in your life a 10/10, then you need to keep reading! Below I provide the 3 steps to getting more of what you want/need in your life. If you have already read the book, please read on for some important reminders, on how to continue designing your ideal life!
The Secret by Rhonda Byrne is a book based on the Law of Attraction (LOA). This Universal Law is similar to the Law of Gravity in that no one is immune to it. It doesn't matter if you are young or old, male or female, short or tall! This Universal Law is in action 24/7 365 days per year!
What is Law of Attraction? The definition is - what ever you put your attention, energy, and focus to, you will get more of it, whether it is positive or negative.
There are many people who believe that LOA is a farce and that you can't just think your way into having what you want. However, I believe that many have misunderstood the premise of it. You must take action in order to get results. You cannot just sit and visualize what you want and think it will just come to you.
The secret to life, is to identify and know what it is that you want. Most people are stuck right here on step one. Maybe you can relate! You must identify what you want in order to bring it to you! What do you want in your Relationships? What do you want for a Career? It needs to be a match to you and what you love to do! The key is to be mindful of where your thoughts are taking you!
If you are focusing on all the things in your life that aren't working, that you don't like, complaining etc. You will keep getting what you have always gotten! If this is you, no matter what area in your life, you need to redirect your thoughts to the direction you want to see yourself going! Stop observing what isn't working and look for what you want instead.
Remember that all the things we have in the world, had to start first as a single thought! Thoughts do become things!
What many people don't realize is that there are 3 steps to manifesting what you want in your life. If one of them is missing or blocked, you will not manifest it! Just wanting something really bad isn't enough to make it happen!
1) Identify What you Want
2) Give it Your Attention
3) Allow It!
The biggest challenge for many is the allowing part. Especially when it comes to beliefs! If you don't believe you can have or do something that wins over every single time! No matter how bad you want something! So awareness of where your thoughts are directed is of utmost importance. Awareness is key! My favourite quote that sums it all up is by Henry Ford, "Whether you think you can, or whether you think you can't you are right."
My forte is helping people with the Allowing, releasing the old parts and old beliefs that you are carrying from childhood, and possibly even from your ancestors... If it is in your vibration, it is blocking you from having the amazing life that you desire to have!
Stay tuned, I am looking at returning to coaching clients one on one. If you are interested contact me at loacertified@gmail.com

Want to Feel Good? Stop Worrying About What Everyone Else is Doing!
What I Know Today is as I build my business and I see how much there is to be done to get there, I get overwhelmed. It is easy to look at what everyone else is doing with their blogs, websites etc. and get discouraged as it feels like there is so much to do to get there. I had to stop and remind myself today that I am and will get there, it is one day at a time. The most important part, is that I show up. Just be me, because who I am right now is enough! I am perfect right now as I am and all I am meant to be is inside of me waiting to come out with each opportunity before me. All I need to do is show up each day and give the best that I have for that moment and trust that it is good enough for those who are in touch with me.
When we start looking at what everyone else is doing it takes away from what we are supposed to be focused on. When you compare yourself to others you are usually focused on their strengths, which are not a match to your strengths. Stop looking outside of yourself and start looking within. What are YOU good at? What makes you unique and what can you offer?
Remember that what you have to teach, share or offer is unique to you. You don't have to know it all, you just need to be a few steps ahead of where they are at, and you will provide value to those around you!
So go out there today and do your best, because you can only make a difference when you are focused on what you are here to accomplish, and let go of the comparisons because who you are is enough!

What Do You Love to Do? Make it Your Business!
What I know today is that I am passionate about helping people to find their purpose! As I step out onto this new ledge of opportunity, I wonder exactly what my business is going to look like! I know that I love teaching others and helping to empower them to find their way in their own journey. To help them go within and find their strengths, and natural talents. I know in my own life that Joy, Happiness, and Fulfillment are what have been lacking. My goal is to help others achieve this in their own lives.
I think we all have our own unique gifts to share with the world, and that whatever it is that you love to do is a total match to your purpose. Joy is something that we are all meant to have and experience in every moment of our lives. When people say that you have to work hard to have success that is true, but why can't we love the work at the same time? Imagine working all day and looking back at what you have accomplished realizing that it did't really feel like work at all? That it was fun and you enjoyed every moment of it!
Think of a basketball player or hockey player. They love the game, right? Yes there are practices and training but for the most part, they love what they do and there is a big benefit to their efforts. How about a singer, or band? They love what they do and they practice and play until their art is perfected!
Truly when we are in alignment with our purpose, this is the experience. We all have a unique piece of the puzzle that makes up the whole of our world and beyond that our Universe. When we each perfect our piece there will be more love and harmony in this world. Why? Because we are all doing what we love and the parts in our lives we don't love to do, someone else will be there, and they step in to do that.
For example, I don't love accounting or working with numbers in my business. That is why I hire an expert who is passionate about numbers. See how it all works? Don't like cleaning your house? I happen to know many people who love to clean because it gives them a sense of accomplishment, and find cleaning rewarding and fulfilling. So hire them to come and do it!!
Another plus? When you master what you love doing, everyone wants a piece of it, and that means more money! You will be a money magnet! So you can afford to hire others that love what they do, to do what you don't want to do!
Why waste time doing things that drag you down, when you could have an expert fill in those parts while you continue to perfect and master what you love doing?
Remember the world was once thought of as flat!! It is time to get out of our old school, old fashioned thinking and allow our world to change into a better place to be. We can all live here in harmony, perfecting our niche. Isn't it awesome when you receive great service from someone in retail who loves what they do? They feel good and in turn make you feel good too, because they are good at what they do and they are sharing those gifts with you, which then makes you feel good, which then brings out the best in you.
So tell me what do you love to do?

Grumpy? 3 Quick Ways to Get Out of That Funk!
What I know today is that we are all human and there are going to be days where your mood is low in ratings! Being a teacher of energy and Law of Attraction, most of us know that sending out negative vibes brings more of the same. So how do you shift yourself back into the positive?
1) If you are upset about something vent! Give yourself 3-5 minutes (seriously time it!) to rant to a friend or write it out on paper and shred it when you are done. Get it out of your energy field. Sometimes a good rant helps us to get more clear about what we are wanting! Then you are going to spend 3-5 minutes talking or writing about what you want instead! The idea is to get it out of your system and then get clear about what you are wanting/needing more of! Ask yourself, so what do I want? I call this my reset button!
2) Put on some music! What songs really get you going, or make you feel good inside? Let yourself lighten up, move your body let loose and let go! If you like singing, sing like no one is listening and dance like no one is watching! My favourite song right now is Flo Rida - Good Feeling!
3) Laughter! Do you have a good friend who always has a way of making you laugh? Find a movie, or YouTube video that makes you laugh, and keep it handy for when you need it! This YouTube video on the Ellen show made me belly laugh, and it helps to remind me to have more fun and that life shouldn't be so serious! Click here to see!

What Makes You Beautiful?
What I know today is the song What Makes You Beautiful by One Direction makes me feel so good! Click here to see YouTube Video! So today I ask you, what makes you beautiful? What is your gift to the world? What are you truly good at? What is the beauty that is within you?
These are all good questions you should contemplate because as you do, it starts the process of bringing out more beauty in you! In terms of energy, this process helps you to put your focus in the direction of your beauty and gets your energy flowing in that part of yourself which then, in turn, brings out more of your beauty!
Beauty to me is when someone is doing what they love and it just flows. It brings tears to my eyes when I see someone doing what they are passionate about and in turn become a true master. Choose to see the beauty around you, and it will be amazing what comes into your experience. It is easy to find things we don't like, or that drive us crazy. But truly open yourself to seeing the beauty. When you start looking for it you will start to see it everywhere, because that is where your attention is going. Beauty is in everything, everyone and all around you. When you shift your focus, beauty becomes your experience.
Exercise:
Take some nice deep breaths. In through your nose and out through your mouth. As you do this, relax your body. Each exhalation allow your muscles to relax even further, letting go. Close your eyes and imagine beauty, whatever that may be to you.
Now - connect that beauty to your own life. It's all about what is unique to you!! What's beautiful to you? Allow yourself to feel what beauty feels like inside of you. How does it make you feel? Breathe beauty in, and as you exhale let go of what isn't beautiful in your life...

Orlando - Be The Change
What I know today is that I have been away at an amazing event and am feeling a little bit guilty over not posting for several days! I had intended to have my materials ready before I left so that I could schedule them to post while I was away like I didn't miss a beat! My best intentions fell apart and, in my preparation to leave to Orlando for my training, time ran out. A lesson for all of us that no one is perfect. The world still goes around, and even if we can't get to something, it isn't the end! I didn't want to let my readers down, but I realize that you will be OK without my posts for a few days!
I went to Orlando, Florida for a conference called Be The Change. The inspiring woman behind this amazing event is Suzanne Evans. I have been following her for a few years and she is an amazing example of living your purpose. She is a joy to listen to, simply because she speaks from the heart. She teaches, while providing laughs at the same time. Truly inspiring! Stories we heard from others who have followed her program and have become successful entrepreneurs are a testament to her wonderful talent!
For me, I truly have come home changed. While I was there, I made a decision that literally brought me to tears. As Suzanne spoke, it was as though she was speaking directly to me. My work is about getting out there and helping more people. I don't want to leave this life with the music still inside of me. I was teary-eyed all morning knowing that I must take this bigger, and yet it is all so scary. How will I do it? It seems so overwhelming with all that will need to get done! I am not technical at all, all I want to do is what I do! Who has time to figure out all this computer techie stuff?
I decided to join her advanced coaching program. As she spoke about the benefits of her coaching, I was fighting tears. When it came time to sign up I was shaking. Not because of the financial commitment, but because I knew this was so right for me. I was teary because I was FINALLY saying yes to me and to my purpose. I know if I do what she asks me to do, I WILL succeed. I have been wanting to take my teaching onto a bigger platform for a number of years now, and the dream is coming true.
The really scary part is doing something that I have never done before. Something that I don't even know that I am capable of. But I must try. I don't want to look back at my life and wonder what it could have been like if I had tried. I must be the change that I want for my clients. I must do this so that I too can lead the way.
As I said in my very first post, I am done with ordinary, and settling for a mediocre life. There has to be something better than this! It is time to create big changes in my life and, in the process, show others the way. It isn't just about making money (although that will certainly be a bonus, as when you make more money you can help more people.) It is about helping more people. When Ellen Degeneres gives away cars on her show to struggling families, that makes my heart swell.
I am making a commitment to all of you that I am doing this and ready to take this bigger and on-line. My dream is helping people to find their purpose, re-design their lives and teach them that they can have it all. I have been teaching and coaching for nearly a decade and it is time to share the tools and knowledge I have learned along the way. The tools get results, but not unless I am teaching others how!
Stay tuned - you will see big changes in the coming months ahead! Thanks for sharing this journey with me. My dream is that you too will be inspired to Be The Change!
