Something Within ME wants to express itself.

"The Universe is friendly and for YOU and ME. What is it in You that is ready to express itself?" What do we have to give, to be? What do we complain about what we don't have? Use what we have, be in GRATITUDE! So inspiring! What choices am I going to make?



I don't know about you but I am so ready to let go of what has held me back, the fears, the vows.



Can I just let go? "If I can let go the darkness will fade If I can just let go there's a light all around me But the pain in my thought has kept me holding on But I feel like letting go I'm ready to run and I'm ready to leap into what is real I got a sweet invitation, a mandate of ecstasy Let go of your will, drop your tools, and follow me I am the life within you, it's time to be free I feel like letting go Let go, let God Let go, Let God Let go, I feel like letting go Let go, let God, let go. If I can let go heaven's at hand Right now new life is awaiting While I'm rearranging these old facts of mine Said I'm tired of holding on My heart is making an authentic appeal It's such a sweet invitation, a mandate of ecstasy Don't hold on any longer, drop your tools and follow me I won't abandon my vision, it's time to release The power of God is guiding me To surrender to what I've got to be And deep within God loves me so Let go, I'm letting go With God all things are possible With God all things are bountiful And deep within God loves us so Let go, I'm letting go If we can let go the darkness will fade Pray to let go, let go, let go. "I Feel Like Letting Go" from the CD In The Land Of I Am" Music and Lyrics by Rickie Byars & Michael Beckwith

Let's Play Treasure Mapping

Do you want to play a fun game that could help you manifest your most exciting dreams? This is called the Treasure Mapping game. A treasure map is about looking for pictures that represent what you want to manifest in your life. If you want a new car you get some automobile magazines or magazines with auto advertisements and cut out a picture of the kind of car you want, and hang it somewhere where you can see it often, like on a mirror in your bathroom or on a wall. This is just a small example of treasure mapping. What if you wanted to get married and go on a fabulous honeymoon? You could round up some travel and wedding magazines and start cutting out picture of what this looks like to you. If you wanted to go on a cruise you'd find some magazines with people having fun aboard a ship

Even better, you can get yourself a large poster board and paste or glue these pictures on it. You could buy a journal or a notebook and fill it with pictures. I've done both. It is amazing when I look back on what i pasted in my treasure map, how much I've manifested.

Catherine Ponder, author of The Dynamic Laws of Prosperity writes, "Truly nothing is impossible for the imagination to accomplish. But perhaps you are thinking, 'I am not yet well versed enough in the imagining power of the mind to get results as you have described. Isn't there some simple way I can begin training my imagination to produce such results for me?'"

Yes there is! That is why creating a treasure map for yourself is so powerful. You cut pictures out of magazines of what your desires look like and it gives your imagination a picture to focus on to produce "rich results." Some also call it a wheel of fortune. They take a poster board and draw a big circle on it and divide the circle into pie shapes, which represent different areas of their life. One can be money, another friendships, a third could be romance, and on. Each of us has our own special desires and dreams. One woman wanted to go on a vacation but she had to take care of her sick mother. She made herself a treasure map / wheel of fortune about a vacation. She was able to take her mother to Florida and was actually invited to stay at a friend's house free of charge - at the height of the winter tourist season. Her mother was able to stay warm, which helped her health improve. So see, miracles still happen.

Along with pictures you write affirmations under the pictures like - "Divine Intelligence knows where my perfect job is for me and by focusing on the kind of work I desire, Divine Guidance is bringing me my prefect job for the pay I want." Then don't watch the scary news about the economy. That only feeds into fear. You can say, "The Divine plan for my life is manifesting now in my every experience for manifesting my desired job."

If that is too wordy then make up affirmations that feel right for you. You can cut out words and phrases from magazines to create your affirmations. Let me give you a warning though. A friend wanted a baby but she forgot to put a picture of a man on her treasure map, only a picture of a woman and a baby. Guess what happened! She ended up as a single mother! So watch what put on your treasure map, watch what you wish for.

We are always creating whether we are aware of it or not. Each thought we have is a creation. It vibrates when it is sent out and the Universe immediately begins to send back experiences that vibrate at that same vibrational energy or cycle that we send out. Yes this is a bit simplistic to be sure, but the law of attraction does work.

So get some white poster board, some colorful pens and a stack of magazines, a glue stick, scissors and some creative sayings. Let's pull out our favorite inspirational books and copy phrases from them to add to our treasure maps. You can Google affirmations or if you have any of Catherine Ponder's writings you will have all kinds of uplifting affirmations to add to your treasure map/wheel of fortune. Maybe you could get together with people of like minds and have a treasure map party. Don't invite anyone who is a nay sayer or who is a downer. "You are the only thinker in your mind, Louise L Hay says so have fun with this and create the life you want for yourself. Don't give up. Add things to it, make it fresh from time to time. It does take a little time to change habits and begin thinking in different, more creative ways.

Happy Treasure Mapping !

Pay your bills with Joy

I can hear you now, "what, is she crazy? I hate paying bills! How can anyone pay their bills joyfully?"

Now that you've expressed your skepticism, let me explain. Do you want to be prosperous, attract abundance, have more than enough to pay your bills? Of course you do!

Here is an exercise that works for me. When I sit down to write out checks, it gives me a chance to really tune in and think about how truly prosperous I really am. I feel the abundance in my life, the true, unfailing wealth that is my inheritance.

"How can you feel rich when you're sitting there writing checks that are depleting your bank account," you ask? Good question, let me explain.

First of all, I believe in a rich universe where there is no lack! Second I know I am a child of the all-encompassing, creative Universe, so I'm automatically heir to all this goodness and wealth. But so are you, brother, sister, friend of all good!

Ok now that we understand who we are, let's move to the next step.

You may even be asking why is the economy in the pits right now? It isn't because there isn't enough but more because of greed and mismanagement and FEAR. Fear always blocks our good.

Now you may be asking, "If I'm so rich why am I struggling to pay my bills?" Or, "why am I driving around in a beat up old car," or "why don't I have my dream home?"

Because you haven't been thinking of yourself as an enlightened, rich, dynamic child of God! You've probably been limiting yourself, believing you don't deserve. I'm not being judgmental but maybe you're focusing on what you don't have, what is lacking in your life. I know I've been there many times. I've been scared and started dwelling on lack. What did I create but more lack. Instead we have to start looking around at what we do have and start giving thanks. Being grateful and giving thanks opens our vibrations up to receiving more. So we can give thanks for our blessings no matter how small. Remember how Jesus blessed the small amount of loaves and fishes before they multiplied? This is what He was teaching.

So when I write checks I mentally visualize 100 times that amount coming back to me and I play with ideas about what I'm going to do with all that money. Say I paid a phone bill for $80. I hold the check in my hand and see $8,000 coming back to me, or visualizing an extra $8,000 in my account. I affirm it is here, meeting all my needs, wishes, goals and what I'd do with it. Then I bless everyone the check touches from the mail person to the book keeper who deposits it. This keeps me from feeling like I'm losing $80 because I just paid the bill. Of course I keep track of my bills and accounts and don't run out and spend $8000, that would be stupid. You can do this even if you're paying bills online. Just imagine this money doubled or tripled coming back to you. At first you may not be able to visualize 100 times the amount coming back so start with ten times and work your way up to 100. But above all, enjoy yourself! Have fun with this exercise and tell me how it worked for you.

Happy Prosperity !
