NOW is the time!!!

I am in a somber mood today.

Just learned about the loss of a good friend who passed on over the weekend at the tender age of 47, leaving behind a wife with 3 young kids. The consolation is that he always lived as he wanted to. He was a brilliant and dedicated doctor, was devoted to his wife and kids, loved life and was always ready for a good time with laughter and joy.

I heard the news just when I was fussing about something that was troubling me. But news like this puts everything in perspective, doesn't it? Suddenly, all my fussing was no longer of any importance.

So, I say to myself...I am just two years younger than this guy was...what if I had only two years left? How would I spend it? as a dedicated slave to the corporate structure? Or living a life of passion and joy with the love of family and friends.

The answer is easy of course and I hardly think you would answer it any differently. So if 2 years is all that's left.....there is literally NO time...NOW is all there is. And even if we did have another 100 years...NOW is truly all there is.

So, look no further, think no more. TODAY is the day that you can take that first step towards fulfilling that dream. TODAY is the day that you can start to live the life you want. Take that leap, go ahead...jump. Your wings of Faith will spread out and bear you up, I promise. But don't wait another minute...there is no next minute...there is no tomorrow....today is the day, now is the time...NOW is all we have. Don't waste it!

Sending you Divine Love,

Susan

Martin Luther King Day

Hey everyone!
Do you remember this one???

This is the first time I saw Whitney Houston, and I was blown away by her beauty, her smile and her voice. I kept asking..."who IS that??" LOL What a story that turned out to be. God bless her.

But more importantly for right now, let's not forget what Martin Luther King Jr. stood for.
And let us each in our own way carry on his message....we still have a long way to go, but that dream that he had?...will come true!

Are you complaining? Or rejoicing?

“EVERYTHING is self-induced. EVERYTHING is created from the inside, out. EVERYTHING is vibrationally based. And you have control over all of that if you just get happy and stay there.“

Abraham Hicks, 7/8 2007

It's a hard pill to swallow, but the responsibility for your happiness is YOURS!

Goals for Q1 2014

Unlike last year when I was totally stumped about what goals to set, this year, things are much clearer.
I know what I want to achieve and also when I want to achieve it.
I also plan to be putting the Law of Attraction to work in every area of my life for the entire year. So all of my goals have the visualization and affirmation aspect and are featured in my vision notebook (don't feel like making a board)

Getting things started, here are my three big goals for the first quarter of this year:

1) to complete the 12 week "Lift Weights to Lose Weight" program by Kathy Smith. I had already started this in December, but I have started it many times and not completed it. This time I intend to complete it. This makes my visits to the Gym non-negotiable! I like that.
By the way, I don't think I ever gave you a follow up to my weight loss goal late last year. I have in fact lost 25lbs. But I will feature my before and after pictures after I complete this program.

2) to run a half marathon in March. I already signed up. No backing out! I have been saying that I want to take running seriously again and that I would run the NY Marathon this year. Well, that's not until November, so what better way to get going and be serious about it, than by signing up for an earlier, shorter race :-) So yeah...here I go!
Another thing about this half marathon, is the fund raising aspect. I ALWAYS shied away from this. But with my new mindset, asking for money to HELP people in need, is something that I refuse to let fear get in the way of. So that is another reason I signed up. I only need to raise $1000...that is totally doable!

3) to reach at substantial paid earning level in my new Affiliate Marketing business by the end of March. There is a specific number in mind, but I will not divulge that number until I report on my success at the end of the given time.

And these are my three main goals for the first part of the year. Let's get to it!

2014 - Going Forward with the Law of Attraction

As I mentioned earlier, I have been working on manifesting the Law of Attraction in my life more.

Even saying that is wrong since the LOA is ever at work in our lives, whether we think about it or not. But I have chosen to be more conscious of it and to work WITH it.

I have been paying attention to my thoughts and feeling and have been focusing on what I want to manifest.

Of course, there is a learning curve, it's hard at first, but if you stick with it….it becomes easier and really works.

Two very simple examples from just today:

1)  Parking Space….This is a big one for me, because nothing would stress me out more than finding parking. Before even heading out to someplace, I would already be sweating and stressing, just thinking about how hard it would be to find any space to put the car.

Well, today, I had to park by my son’s school and right from home, I affirmed that I would find the perfect space near the school, and that I needn’t worry about it, but that God would do it for me. Trust me…the little demons of doubt kept me busy…every time I heard one come up, I would say again…I don’t have to worry…God will do it….I am of God…I have nothing to worry about…I need and want nothing…I am whole.

I got to the school and there was nothing. I drove round the block and came back…still nothing. I just stood and waited, somewhat disappointed and deciding what I should do, and just then, lo and behold…right in front of me…a car pulled out. AMAZING!

2)      Having parked the car, I would have to while away three hours before coming back for my son. I had already planned to breakfast and hang out at a favorite little nearby diner. But when you come in there as one person, they always would seat you in the front at a little table by the window. I didn’t want that. I wanted a booth in the back, so that I could have more space for my books and laptop. As I approached the diner, through the window I noticed one booth open in the back. I went in and asked if I could have it. The waiter informed me that as one person I should sit at a single table… "I really don’t want to” I said “I see one booth open in the back…could I have that, please” Just then a waitress came by and jumped in saying “yes of course you can” AWESOME!!!!

So like I said, these are very little examples. But don’t underestimate the Truth behind them. Or as the Bible says “Despise not the days of small beginnings”

Well, here is my latest on the Law of Attraction and my finances.

Physically speaking, I am still in the red, very much so, and I am barely making ends meet. BUT…things have happened.

The first and most important change, is my mental and subsequent emotional shift.

I no longer focus on the situation. I say to myself God is my unfailing supply. I am one with God…God wants nothing…I want nothing…I am free and abundant. Right in this moment, I have all that I need.

Weirdly enough, this makes me feel at peace, AND I have been able to get all my bills paid…not right on time as I would normally like, but always before there is any disconnection or complaint…so…even though I may appear to be in debt…I have nothing to worry about.

And when you don’t worry, and you feel sure that everything is taken care of…the Law of Attraction matches that feeling…and everything IS taken care of.

And to move on to bigger things, I was on Facebook the other day, and I NEVER click on ads. But something pulled me to click on this one ad. I did. And I have discovered the most amazing Viral Blogging System that helps you make money blogging and offers an awesome affiliate program. Hello!!!!! What could be better.

So, I have set up a new blog! You will still be able to find me here, but please feel free to visit my business blog as well where I will be speaking more on the Law of Attraction and Prosperity and the Blogging business.

It will also be my home blog for my new Law of Attraction Coaching :-). I will be a certified coach before the year is out. YAY!

I look forward to seeing you there, and to reporting on all the excitement of building this new business, living my new life and watching the LOA at work.

Stay Blessed!!!

2013 in review - My Life is Changed!!!

Happy New Year Folks!!!!

Another chance to get it right!

2013 was a true year of learning and enlightenment for me. I experienced so much spiritual growth.

So 2014 for me will be the year of manifestation, completion. The year that I put everything I have learned into practice and turn my life around COMPLETELY!

It all began a year ago in January 2013, when I was taking a workshop on Feminine Power from Evolving Wisdom. This was the first time I was able to actually connect with my inner child. This was the first wall that broke down. I was able to speak to my me-child and tell her that I loved her and cared for her.

I have always thought this type of thing was hog wash, but now that I have actually experienced it, I know that it is true... 

I was up early and was saying my prayers as I glanced over and saw my six year old son fast and peacefully asleep. He looked so innocent. Suddenly I saw myself at that age. That was when my mother and I moved from Germany to go and live with my father in Nigeria. That was the turning point in my young life.

They say Rome was not built in a day. And the emotional walls we build are not built in a day either…but that was when the foundation for my walls were laid.

Over the years that followed, I built taller and thicker walls by the year. And by the time I was an adult living on my own in New York, I was numb.

Safe from every kind of feeling that would make me vulnerable….but NUMB. 

It has taken me almost 20 years to be able to open up and find some emotional freedom and peace.

That experience of meeting little Susie put a crack in the wall that allowed some sliver of Divine Love Light to shine through. Slowly over the next months, I psychically and spiritually clawed at the wall to make the crack bigger and let in more light.

Not that I was not scared…I was….I was scared of what I might find, scared of what I might feel, and scared of who I might be as a real person with feelings…this was just not someone that I knew. But something inside me knew that I had to keep working at it…I wanted the light….I felt it’s warmth…I had to break through.

I did more workshops, read more books, watched videos, listened to inspirational audios, continued my therapy, meditated when I could, read the bible, prayed…and then in October the walls that I had worked so hard to build came crashing down like the walls of Jericho… all at once.

Suddenly, out of no where, I experienced the Divine. I experienced one-ness. I felt LOVE!

Tearfully, I rejoiced….I knew the walls were gone and the pain could stop. I would be able to live free to love and be loved…without fear…I knew what it meant to say that perfect love casts out fear. My fear was cast out…I was ready to live and love. I thought this was the end of learning, but no…

…just then…to accelerate my learning, my relationship with my partner took a DRASTIC turn. Something I had always thought I expected, actually happened…..and I was floored. Weird, isn’t it, how you can be surprised by something you already thought existed?

But in spite of disenchantment, the most amazing things happened: our relationship became super-recharged, AND my love and my Spirit were taken to the next level as I was learning two very important lessons – Living in the moment, and loving unconditionally. Just BE!!!

By the time the year ended…I was a whole new person. I was born again.

Not confessing Jesus as my Lord and Savior…I had done that in October 1989. What I experienced in 2013 is Spiritual Re-Birth….my total existence, my total self-ness became new. It is of God…not removed from Him, but a part of Him, His breath in me…in Divine Complete Unconditional Love.

So 2013 was the foundation….now 2014…I am building a new building…one founded on divine love and BEing…not on pain and protection. I am not building walls…I am building a love life.

I AM and I am abiding in the Vine….with the I AM.

My Life is Changed!!! :-)
