Kindness
I got a phone message I didn't know how to respond to. Someone I had never met called to ask for help with a heart-rending challenge and I had no answer. I dreaded returning the call. I felt so inadequate to the task.
Just be kind, I thought. It is always a gift and sometimes hard to come by. I picked up the phone with more enthusiasm.
I met a brave, fascinating person. We had an interesting converstaion. I had even spoken at the church she attends now back when her mother used to go there.
We found a way to happiness and peace of mind even before we solved the problem she faces. We are both going to focus on the desired outcome and send love. We came up with a few steps to take to clear the path for miracles.
It was a great call and a wonderful reminder -- there is always something you can contribute, even when you don't know what to say or what to do. Share kindness. It opens doors for miracles to come in.
Blessings and thanks to SB for a sweet connection.
Love,
Mandy

Richard Can Read
When an adult learns how to read, it is like walking through a wall into a brand new world. Talk about a breakout!
I have enjoyed the privilege of teaching 3 adults, all over 40 years old how to read.
Mary Galewaler, a widow with 12 children moved out of extreme poverty – the kind where you cry because your kids are cold and hungry and you don’t know what to do. She got her first paying job after living on a veteran’s pension and social security. She bought her own home.
A welfare mother in Desert Hot Springs, CA learned that she was not retarded. I watched as she made a dream come true. She held her youngest daughter on her lap and read her a story.
Richard can read! We are working on “Consonant Blends.” Richard read that title, “Consonant Blends,” without blinking an eye. He is also reading Louise Hay’s “Heal Your Life.”

Want to add your prayers and thoughts to help people learn to read? Palm Springs “Breakout Weekend” graduate, Dorie Geniesse and her friend Sue started Selcarim to see if our prayers and thoughts could change the world by focusing on a different problem each month. They asked me to choose an issue I care deeply about and record a message for April. You can hear it here:

A Clear Path to Prosperity
Nothing like a bunch of out-dated, off-the-wall, self-defeating, limiting beliefs about money to keep your credit card maxed and your pockets empty.
Nothing like disproving those beliefs to clear a path to prosperity!
Two kinds of beliefs often stand in the way.
Limiting emotional beliefs: These beliefs trigger painful feelings. For example some people feel shame when they fail and guilt when they succeed. What a bind! Anticipatory dread of these emotional consequences keeps us from even trying new approaches. Fear of feeling worse causes the wheel spinning that digs us deeper and deeper into a rut of despair.
Misperceived beliefs about adequacy, deserving and status act like blinders blocking out genuine opportunities. You cannot recognize a magical connection when your focus is on whether you deserve it or not. How can you be recognized if you are trying to pump up your status or hide your true nature?
Actions speak loudly of beliefs. A student of mine is working on a strong case of poverty consciousness. He noticed a great clue to follow up and explore. He rents a low cost apartment in an affluent suburb. When people at his new job asked where he lived, he said “I didn’t want to tell them. I didn’t want them to think I’m rich.”
Another student responded, “Wow. I would want just the opposite. I’d want people to think I’m a lot better off than I am.”
These opposing responses stem from the same misconception: “who I am is not ok.”
There is one thing I wish I could share with the whole world today. “You are enough. You are not too much, too little, too young, too old, too rich, too poor, to beautiful, too ugly – too anything to be happy, to be loved and to prosper. You are enough just as you are. You may want to use that enough-ness to create all sorts of adventures. Maybe you want to make a fortune. Maybe avoid some pitfalls. You may succeed some days and stumble on others. It has nothing to do with whether you are enough to be the perfect you.
To find out more about beliefs like these and how to break out from them take a free quiz on “50 Beliefs About Money”

Some of them may surprise you!
I hope these messages help you to find and disprove more limiting beliefs so you can see the miracles and opportunities all around. Please feel free to share them.
Love,
Mandy

The Magic of a Mastermind Group
Last weekend the Cathedral City Mastermind Group met in beautiful, peaceful, Rosarito Beach, Mexico for a retreat. We supported each other in loving creative consciousness. We also shopped a bit, day-dreamed on the balcony, went tide-pooling at low tide, ate and drank and enjoyed the amazing condo two of our members shared with us. If you're looking for your own bit of paradise, it's for sale. Send an email to Jo'se at jggllk@aol.com and he'll tell you all about it and show you a virtual tour.
Our Mexican Mastermind adventure --
The astounding view from our balcony, our our group, minus one member who was with us in spirit and me holding forth on something or other.
A mastermind group is a wonderful way to keep growing, expanding your consciousness and breaking out from limiting beliefs you do not even know you have.
Wishing you abundant support for your dreams and great happiness.
With love,
Mandy

The View from on Top of an Obstacle
I always love it when someone has good news.
Today it is I! After the big crash that took my website down, after months of wrangling with templates, hosting services, fonts and source code my website lives again. It’s new and improved. I learned a lot during the process.
I read each article again as I changed imported fonts that got mangled. I found useful reminders. I checked the “Belief Quizzes” amazed at the nonsense we humans can believe. When my grandmother disagreed with someone she would say “Oh you’re just full of notions!” Now I know exactly what she meant.
In the process, I staged a personal belief breakout and changed a couple of big old notions. I believed technology was a necessary evil. I went kicking and whining through each inevitable evolution convinced and proclaiming “It’s toooo hard, I’m too old.”
It took an awfully long time, but I see the light. I’m eager, excited and ready to convert those books for kindle, ipod, you name it. I’m ready to edit the Miracles Weekend video, get those talks digitalized and out there! I am ready to play with the big kids in the big leagues and have a fine time doing it!
If there is something you’ve balked at learning, moving on to, or changing here are two of my favorite quotes. I hope they will cheer you on to hope and action in the perfect direction for you.
“If the horse dies, get off.” –Author unknown
“There is a great view from on top of an obstacle.” Bruce Di Marsico
About that website, the photo at the top of it is one I took from my patio last Christmas. Seems like a miracle – bright sunshine, green palm trees and snow on the mountain. And being able to show it to you – who live all over the world, WOW!
I’d love it if you would take a look and let me know what you think. http://www.mandyevans.com/
