My walkabout with inspirational jewelry

Last November 2010 I won $1000 in the lottery. With my birthday in early December I indulged myself on a bit of a walkabout with some inner awakening courses. Being a creative entrepreneur with a signature collection of inspirational jewelry I champion myself to be the best I can be.

When I watched President Obama’s State of the Union Address; he used the phrase “information age” which really caught my attention. I have found this to be true on a level of personal development that is definitely a movement in magnitude. Never have words of the most quoted peace statements rung more true, for example: “Be the change you wish to see” by Mahatma Gandhi. With the added tool of the computer and the Internet, information can be disseminated and shared at twice the speed of the conventional distribution channels of the eighties and nineties.

I remember buying tickets to hear Scott Peck M.D. speak, weeks if not months in advance of his book, A Road Less Traveled, in 1993. This is so not the case anymore. In December of 2010 I signed up for a free telesummit of “Masters in the field of clarity”. The event was hosted by Radha Conrad, a Jungian trained psychologist who lives in Maui, Hawaii.

There were sixteen presentations in total, each interview was an hour long and I made the time to catch all of them. It was so cool. I loved it, loved it. It took me back to the eighties and nineties when my friends and I would sit in a deli or at dinner parties and talk and hypothesize on the latest books. Everyones point of view was embraced. For those that were fortunate enough to make the time to socialize, a lot of happy times were created.

Now in 2011 all I have to do is sit down, click a button on my keypad and while sitting in my living room listen to a live interview of Radha Conrad. I recognized none of the presenters names, and that is why I took the time to listen to what they had to say and what programs or books they were sharing with the subscribers on the telesummit. What I discovered was a plethora of current ideas and systems and the love, love, love of sharing their discoveries of how we can live a happier healthier life, today-now.

O.K. so I spent more than I planned of my lottery winnings, for my birthday present to myself and signed up to work with two presenters works which are as follows;

With Radha Conrad I am just in the midst of a six-week course of working through and identifying limiting belief patterns where they stem from, how to release them and rehabituate the mind, body and soul to walk in rhythm with each other. Every call starts with Radha saying “Aloha, Radha here from Maui”. Make no mistake Radha is a highly skilled psychotherapist and wades into such deep realms of the psyche to retrieve and enlighten a person that is most humbling. I am so honored to listen to her and to have been in contact with someone who has dedicated her life to helping the emotionally lost and suffering. Good stuff….
Her website displays her impressive education and her dedication to her work with the mental health associations of Hawaii. Her website is www.lifemasteryskills.

Noah St. John Ph.D presentation of Afformations® and his work with re-wording the way that we ask ourselves empowering questions was my other course birthday present to myself. Noah’s course was a combination of online writings and audio programs. I actually finished Noah’s e-class in December, and spent several days almost sleepless because I was so excited about his work. Noah’s interview explained how to ask our subconscious empowering questions and the results in his book The Secret Code of Success, are life changing. I am so inspired to be working with my present affirmations and re-working them with the simple word why? that morphs them into an afformation® You can actually turn his book into your own workbook answer the questions and participate in the exercises in your own space and time. I personally flagged all the chapters and then flagged the exercises with a different colored flag and worked with the information in the book in that way.
Noah's website is www.successclinic.com

Here are my musings ~

If you visit my product line you will see 9 focus life paths. These are Feng Shui inspired and with the added enlightment of afformations, my mindful thought product is elevated to a new level. I am so excited. Creative with a purpose - beauty & fashion with a purpose. I will be working up positive empowering questions to compliment each focus path, as soon as I can settle down from the excitement of my walkabout.

Just to tempt you try this thought on. “What is your question that can release you to your next level?”

The most insightful information to share with you that I gained through this telesummit of Clarity, is that inner work without action is just that. Inner work. The complete cycle is to work through your self-limiting thought, and dissolve the pattern. Then, invite new energy and act upon it within your life patterns, is one complete action. The inner work is just half of the action.



In Feng Shui terms my first advice for the New Year is clear the clutter off your desk. Ask yourself these questions… Why do I need this? Why do I use this? Why do I have this? This is a physical action. The inner work in relation to this would be the desire to enhance your career. You could in addition work with a focal point word and afformation. This would benefit you by making your subconscious available to seize and act upon opportunities.

Why am I good enough to IMAGINE all that can be with my career?

The year of the metal rabbit is just a few days away, and it is a wonderful year for learning,

and succeeding…

you should be excited,

good news is on the way.

So, speaking metaphorically I have been a bit of a dolphin heading out to the dark blue water to do some investigating. I share with you these discoveries that inspire my own personal journey and for your own awakening, and to introduce you to some really amazing noteworthy people.

Have a beautiful day,

Fun sayings, positive affirmations and powerful quotes:

You must do the thing you think you cannot do.

This is one of my favorite positive affirmations statements:

No one is destined to live a life of poverty because each of us has the ability to change everything in this life. The law of attraction is the law of creation, and it allows each person to create the life they want. Every person has their own unique circumstances to overcome, but every single person has the opportunity to achieve anything - and change everything.

-Rhonda Byrne
Creator of "The Secret"


Here is a excerpt from Deepak Chopra M. D. book,
Creating Affluence ~ Wealth Consciousness in the Field of all Possibilities

~ C" stands for carefreeness and charity. A billion dollars in the bank, without the experience of carefreeness and charity, is a state of poverty. Wealth consciousness, by definition, is a state of mind. If you are constantly concerned about how much money you need, then irrespective of the actual dollar amount you have in your account, you are really poor.
Carefreeness automatically leads to charity and sharing because the source from which it all comes is infinite, unbounded, and inexhaustible.





Have a beautiful day,

unusual gift ideas include stop smoking

Happy New Year! 2011, Year of the Yin Rabbit

I am really happy to be heading toward the year of the rabbit as it is such a friendly animal rather than the year of the tiger which will be exiting here in a few weeks. I thought it would be a good idea to start off the new year with some wellness postings and include my personal triumph of quitting smoking some twenty two years ago. My mother actually bought me my treatment of cold laser therapy to stop smoking and although at the time I thought it was right up there with some of her other unusual gift ideas I am eternally grateful.

On the Rachel Ray show a long while back Rachel had four different people trying to stop smoking and the success story belonged to laser therapy, or cold laser therapy, and is also known as laser acupuncture, photon stimulation (PST) or low level laser therapy (LLLT).

My personal story of laser therapy was that my mother purchased it for me as a gift and all I had to do was show up. I was pretty much hooked on nicotine and just could not imagine quitting but inside desperately wished I had never ever started. I showed up at the clinic and the clinician sat me in a chair and showed me the laser pen and she pointed it on my hands in a couple of different locations (I think it was red if I remember correctly) and then some points behind my ears and head. That was pretty much it, less than half an hour and I remember leaving thinking it was the hokiest thing I ever experienced.

A few hours passed though and I felt different, like kind of a calm different and I could never remember feeling like that before. I liked the feeling; I liked it a lot. It was actually that immediate and as crazy ass as it sounds I had no craving for a cigarette, zip, nada, nothing.

I did have withdrawals however and was quite unprepared for that part of it all. I know some people say that withdrawal takes about five months, but seriously for me it was like two years. Pure insane torture, on such a subliminal monkey scratches your back level that it really defies a logical description.

That treatment was in the month of June. My life was pretty hectic then and between June and November I broke up with my boyfriend and I got really mad and picked up a cigarette and started smoking again.

I was smoking for a few days, and I remember talking to my Mom humiliated and upset not about breaking up with my now ex boyfriend, but that I had started smoking again and I was a failure. I can still hear my Mothers voice, "Don't worry dear, its guaranteed, I am going to phone over to the clinic right now." I got off the phone and shaking my head to myself in disbelief thought to myself, sure Mom only you could buy something to quit smoking that is guaranteed.

Mom phoned me right back and explained that the clinic was so happy she called and I should go over there immediately. Oh man, 32 years old and having my Mom call over on my behalf- let me tell you I have had better days. So when I got to the clinic it took the same short amount of time for the treatment, and the clinician asked me when I started smoking again and what was going on in my life.

I explained I had broke up with my boyfriend and was really mad. She pointed out that the number one trigger for restarting smoking is anger and to pay attention to those vulnerable moments in my life for future reference.

The same lovely feeling floated over my body again within an hour.

I have never had another cigarette since. That was 1989.
It almost sounds surreal to tell this story because I am still so amazed that cigarette smoking is not a part of my life, and I really did feel hopeless about it all. The fact that I had Elsie in one corner of the ring pulling me to safety and the cigarette company product in the other corner pulling me back to the other direction, is right up there with the movie, The seventh Seal. A game of chess of light over darkness.

Peope I knew had never heard of laser therapy, and I thought my Mother's money was going to a great invention that didn't have enough clients and probably folded years ago - probably the day after I left.

I got pretty excited when I saw the Rachel Ray show since I knew exactly what the successful non smokers were feeling like.

I googled laser therapy and found a clinic in Florida called Healing Laser Clinic,. They have a 1-800 number for other locations, but what caught my attention the most was that they had as an unusual gift ideas on their site-gift certificates to quit smoking.

Then I got thinking some more, because the pop up ad at the top of their site was for Groupon and I thought, "hey you Groupon advertising execs., why don't you approach all the laser stop smoking clinics in the U.S. and Canada and have one big coupon party approach for quitting smoking.


If you are looking to quit smoking or know of someone who wants to quit smoking this is a wonderful solution.

Here are some of my favorite afformations by Noah St. John:

Why is addiction to nicotine no longer part of my life?
Why am I so happy being free of cigarettes?
Why did I finally stop smoking?

Have a beautiful day,
