When you are clear on your purpose and what's driving you, you're operating at your highest level. Don't see things as negative, it's about your perception, express and experience, use your experiences Morning rituals -start with meditation, breakfast, journaling, stretching, peaceful, goal setting. Clarity connect with yourself serve yourself first Your  soul is here to serve! On feeling restless when you should be relaxed. Affirmations Monetize your purpose Get help, get a mentor Work on your moneystory, surround yourself with women, and books, and resources and go for it. Who are you trying yo serve, who you are, who is you're best client and how do you serve them. What could my morning ritual be?

All energy we broadcast, goes out to the universe and comes back. Pay attention to your thoughts and emotion, feel and think deliberately. Think and believe what you want to create. Don't feed a negative cycle. Think I want to create...live in a vibe of what you do want. More than visualizing, align what you want with your reality. Lower level emotions keep you from being great. Accept life and let love and joy flow. The truth of the universe is there is no lack and you can create anything. Where ever you are in your life, you will always want to create more. Satisfaction combined with desire for more is good. Be in the now, without anxiety... Connect to potential all the time. Relinquish control to the universe Duality...focus on what you want, not the lack of it. Treat money like an important person in your life, pay attention to it, enjoy it, acknowledge it. Let go of limiting beliefs. If you're frustrated or negative, taking a moment to deal with it, and then mov

I'm grateful for... A good nights sleep Back to school today My awesome, enormous couch A beautiful morning at church. So, pursuant to making life changes Madeline and I went to church yesterday. I liked it, I like the pastors message, I like being back with the Presbyterians and not having to kneel. I miss all Saints though. I miss that beautiful little building and father Shakespeare.  But this church is also lovely and warm, and the message is right on. The pastor spoke about epiphany being the time for letting light into all your dark places and transforming yourself. He spoke about how we are all on a journey of transformation that never ends. I know I have more to do, but I think just going there helps me to shine that light.  My dark places are  discontent and loneliness and disconnection. Going through the motions without really living. I think my next step will be to really get involved with this church, and find a way to make a difference.

I'm grateful for my friends. I'm grateful that I'm still optimistic. I'm grateful for my beautiful, Christmasy house. I'm grateful for smooth jazz!!
