Thanksgiving: A Virtual Gathering

What if we could all gather in an enormous circle. We could share the blessings in our lives and the gratitude we feel.

Oh wait, we can! This is your invitation to a virtual celebration of Thanksgiving -- here in the US and all over the world. I'm extending my hand and grasping yours. My heart fills up with love and gratitude for you and all we share.

I'm taking a turn now. I'm grateful for:
The blessing of beauty
The love of my family, Barnaby, Sheri, Emery, Siem and my cousins
Dear friends old, new and yet to meet
Everyone who ever read my books and readers to come
Abundance
Having extra to share
Kindness
Peacemakers everywhere

That's a start. What are you grateful for? "Post a Comment" below and take a turn. It means so much to hear from you.

Happy Gratitude!

Love,
Mandy

Encouragement! The Power of Pats on the Head

Did you ever have one of those days when it seems like "all fetch and no pats on the head?" Your to-do list stretches forever. Your oh-boy-can't- wait list is very short.

On a recent day like that, I noticed all I really wanted, more than anything, was a big pat on the head. Simple acknowledgement holds magical powers to lift spirits, remove boulders from shoulders and inspire creativity. Encouragement moves mountains.

Here's some for you:

Good job!
Atta girl! Atta boy!
You are so wonderful.
You do so much for all of us.
Even when you hit a long stretch of no pats on the head, you keep going.
Your kindness means so much.
You have no idea the difference your generosity makes.
You've been through a lot. It must have taken courage.
Woo Hoo for you!
You mean the world to me.
Thank you!

Please pass it on. Someone may need a pat today.

 Love,
Mandy

Ready for a New Direction? Self-Help for Recovery

When you are heading in the wrong direction, going the extra mile is not a good idea. Sometimes, in order to succeed and flourish in a happy life, you need to:

  • Stop! Look around. Now look inside. Are you in a good place? Really look.
  • Are you moving toward more of what you want in life or away from it?
  • Open your heart and mind. Are you willing to see your situation clearly? Is there more information available? Do you welcome or block it? 
  • Alter your course. As you follow your heart's desire, you have to alter your course as new information becomes available or you will head for a seriously mismatched destination.
  • Recover! If your spirit is injured, clean the wound and help it to heal before you make any big decisions or strike out in a new direction. You will take a different path when you feel better. Read "Travelling Free: How to Recover from the Past by Changing Your Beliefs" to see how.
  • Break out from limiting, unconscious beliefs about perseverance and blind loyalty. It is not a virtue to remain loyal to something (or someone) that does not nurture your growth and well-being. Sticking to something that does not work does not work! 
  • Assess and re-balance. To achieve a healthy balance in your life, do you need to be more patient and tolerant or do you need to be more proactive and put up with less. 
  • Be Happy! When you are happy where you are, you can move in any direction you like.You tap into the greatest motivation; are open to inspiration; do not fear the truth, see opportunities and take advantage of them more easily. 
Happy journey!
Love, 
Mandy

Self-Help for Happiness

Just for you --
Just for now --

Take a moment.  Follow your breath in and out, in and out.

Close your eyes and ask these two questions, taking all the time you need for the answers to come:
  1. If you could feel anyway you want to, how would you feel?
  2. How do you feel?
Sometimes that's all it takes. Awareness of you you feel is often the first, sometimes the only thing you need to be happy. 

Sending love and happy thoughts to you, 
Mandy

Limiting Beliefs Meet the Law of Attraction

Thank to Jewels, founder of Law of Attraction Radio, for a challenging, lively  interview. Our conversation ranged from wealth to weight, the myth of deserving, guilt, joy and despair, the beliefs that block happiness and success.

Jewels is a real expert on the Law of Attraction. She interviews NY Times bestselling authors, scientists, medical doctors and other experts on the LOA. I know an awful lot about how to find and break out from your own limiting beliefs. Together, I think we came up with a a show that will inform and inspire you. The time flew by.

If you'd like to listen in to learn how to attract more of what you want -- and less of what you do not want, here's the link: http://loaradionetwork.com/jewels.html.

Let us know what you think, your comments are always welcome.

Cheering you on to attract love, success and prosperity. Be happy now!

Love,
Mandy

Found In Translation

Look what I found (as opposed to the usual lost) in translation! Someone sent me an email that had been translated by one of the automatic translators like the one available from Google. It translated the term "limiting beliefs" as "restrictive faiths." I love it. That's exactly what a limiting belief is, misguided faith in something that isn't true that restricts us.

Limiting beliefs, or restrictive faiths, hamper our creativity and block success and happiness. A belief that limits you cannot be true. As the saying goes, the truth shall set you free.

As we go through life we come to conclusions based on the seeming evidence at hand. These conclusions get added to the data base that forms our individual belief systems, our private versions of reality.

We make all of our choices based on these conclusions. We act and react based on them. We move toward some experiences and away from others according to faith in our versions of reality. Each step, each choice, creates the road we travel.

Some of our beliefs are life-enhancing. Many of them, however, block happiness, creativity and success. I cannot imagine anything that has a greater influence on our lives. Yet most of us never question these beliefs. Even if we want to, where can we learn how?

I wrote "Emotional Options: A Handbook for Happiness" to show you how to uncover, explore and discard beliefs that restrict you. I've kept it in print, available, and affordable for many years. If you would like to break out from "Restrictive faiths" you hold that block your happiness and success, I hope you will read it and share it.

You can order Emotional Options from my website.
