January 4: The Power of Shift in Action

Welcome to Day 4 of Kick Start 2007!

As we explained yesterday, by shifting your attention away from 'the way things are' and, instead, investing your energy in envisioning 'the way things might be' you set a powerful chain of events into motion.

Inspired Action #1: 'Shift' Your Story

Our goal, as we focus on 'kick starting' 2007, is to tell the Universe a new story about ourselves.

In the book 'Write It Down, Make It Happen', Henriette Anne Klausner writes, 'If you know what you want, you can have it.'

She shares wonderful stories of people who wrote about their intended outcomes in a variety of ways (actor Jim Carrey carried a check he made out to himself for ten million dollars 'for services rendered' prior to becoming noticed for his talent) and who saw their stories manifest into reality.

Are you ready to play?

If so, write a letter to a friend sharing a story of satisfaction about the way that the year 2007 worked out for you. Focus on three areas of your life that you'd most like to see 'upgraded.'

Be specific about things that you'd like to see happen because specificity leads to more powerful energy propulsion. Specifics make the story more real and more compelling.

We're going for the feeling that you have as you write and read the story, more than the attachment to the details.

Our intention is to tell the Universe that we know what it will feel like to celebrate having things go very, very well for us.

We can then leave it up to the Universe to reflect back to us a wonderful mix of experiences that will be equally delightful - or perhaps even better.

Play by yourself or you can amplify the power of this process by sharing publicly in the safe community environment of the ChoosingProsperity blog.

Post your contribution under 'comments'.

The More the Merrier...

As Carolyn Myss reminds us, 'We evolve at the rate of the tribe that we're plugged into.'

If you'd like to invite colleagues, friends and family to join the team along with you, please send them to the team enrollment page at: http://www.ChoosingProsperity.com/team.htm

Tomorrow: No Limits

~~~~~~~~~~~

For today, the fourth day of 2007, I wish you the full realization of the truth, 'If you know what you want, you can have it.'

Best to you!

I can't believe what an awesome year 2007 has been. We have been blessed in so many ways. Our finances have turned around and we are not only on time with all our obligations, we are on track to have the girls' colleges prepaid by the end of 2008 completely and the house will be paid off within 10 years at the current rate. The feeling of having no financial stresses is amazing. Phil even retired this year and now the only consideration of what he does is whether he likes doing it or not. We have also been able to reduce Mom's rent to practically nothing. She has a lot less stress as well and that makes me ecstatic.
The family is doing great. We are all getting along very well with our plans. Health is great all around and relationships are blooming. Even this area is so much better when there is no financial stress.
Spiritually this has been a watershed year. I have grown so much personally, and I am able to help so many people through Common Ground and through my business and where I run into people there. I couldn't be more pleased with 2007.

2007 was the beginning of my new way of life! I sold my house and was able to buy another place that was ideal for my new situation. I felt physically better month by month until I attained peak fitness and I was able to work really hard at my new job, finally helping others through my work. To be financially, emotionally, physically and spiritually blessed has been the most amazing experience. I am so grateful to the Universe!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! How exciting to be heading into 2008! This past year has been so much fun, learning and experiencing what is possible when I choose to create my own reality, choose to live in abudance. I feel so calm about money now, so calm that its really exciting! Our business has really taken off, it has been covering its own expenses since January and the profit margin has been on a steady rise. The credit card debt is GONE!!! Kevin has started working our business full time and I am spending more and more time in the studio.
The spiritual transformation I have expirienced this year is breathtaking. I feel centered, strong and healthy. I am able to turn my moods around as soon as I notice that I'm in a low energy place. I feel such joy and gratitude many many thanks to the universe for all that has come into my life. Thank you for my prosperity, Thank you for my abundance, Thank you for my joy, Thank you thank you thank you!!!

Happy New Year! 2007 has been quite the year for us.

It's so awesome to wake up and look out my window and see the ocean! We've been here since March and I still feel that sense of wonder every day. We had a real holiday this year, with a tree and presents, and parties! I had an open house and invited everyone in the village! I really love being a part of a community again, and the people here are so nice.

My health has improved too. I've lost 30 pounds and am getting lots of exercise out here. The sea air does great things for my energy levels. I'm much more active now, and it shows. I'm feeling great, looking great, and my self confidence and self esteem are much improved over where they were a year ago.

Of course, the business success helps there too. It's amazing what not having any stress over money does for your health and well-being! The house is paid for, the cars are both paid for, and all the old financial junk that was hanging over my head all these years is gone.

Yeah, I'd say that 2007 was a resounding success, and I am so grateful to the Universe for all the cool stuff that happened last year.

[Ansophie]

What a phenominal year 2007 was!

Shaun, my husband and I are more and more in love by the day! We are so blessed to have each other. Financially this year has been incredible. We managed to renovate our house, and build the extra apartment on top of the garage, That s so GREAT!We now have our very own place to live in when we are back home. AND - the house is paid off!
For the first time ever, our entire family is independant and financially safe. For Shaun, that has changed the world. He is finally free of stressing about the family.
So, wonderful sharing these great things with you. May love and light bless you every day.

As 2007 nears an end, I am experiencing an odd mix of calm and excitement. I am so peaceful, yet my heart is beating with a steady surge comprised of my joy and my gratitude at the unfolding of events I have created throughout this amazing year.

Since I have stopped procrastinating..(it was fear of a bad outcome that was behind THAT one) I am more rested, focused, and literally excited about completing each task that comes my way. None seem trivial or boring anymore, now that I see each small thing as part of the unfolding of my creations.

My injury healed so quickly with no physical therapy even necessary afterwards. During the time when I rested it, I remained focused on "allowing" the best possible outcome, and used the time to jump-start my creative side...I wrote...instead of thinking about writing. The outcome? I am well on the way to completing my book!! Not only was I able to start working sooner than I thought I would be, but my creativity has paved the way for new applications of my skills for healing AND generating much more income!
My decision to stay focused on allowing my older son to move forward on his own path to functionality and health has had remarkable consequences. He has his own place for many months now, and is now taking so much more responsibility for his actions.

My younger son's happiness and success have been such sources of joy... tears of gratitude
have replaced tears of despair.

The check I envisioned coming to me arrived two days earlier than my target date. I could go on and on about this...let me just say that the energetic surge that pulsed through me as I opened the envelope has set up a vibration in my being on all levels that is indescribable!! It is so easy now; with the financial stress soothed away...it has been like a balm ...a constant flow of loving, nurturing hugs from the universe, reassuring me that ALL IS WELL.

My health is so much improved..a clear consequence of my daily meditation, the amazing absence of smoking (and cravings!!) from my life, and my amazing and newfound clarity that "I am as God created me"...whole, radiant and clear in my intentions and my ability to manifest every aspect of my reality, starting with the physical and...well, with no holds barred!
All kinds of love resound through my experience...not the least of which is my wonderfully conscious and loving relationship with my new significant other.

Watching the love flow to all my relationships from the reawakening of my most profound truth...my own loving heart, has equaled...no, surpassed!..., the most amazing Academy Award winning script. My heartfelt thanks to the Academy of Universal Law and my amazing connection to ALL THAT IS...for 2007..the year of the Shift.

2007 was a great year for all of the family, for me, for my son Denis and for my daughter Melis. I finished my book that I was writing in 2007 and it was published and it was almost an overnight success. I am very famous now and I have made 5 million dollars from my book in 2007. And as we enter to 2008, I have a good offer to sell my book to Hollywood studios for them to make a movie out of it. They offered me 50 million dollars and I accept it. I am very happy because a dream came true. I also lost 60 pounds and I have a beautiful body now. I am very happy because whatever I wish and wanted from life it happened in 2007. Also I am very happy about my son's success, he is a very famous actor now, his dream came true also in 2007, he lives an amazing happy healty life now. Thus my daughter, who is her second year in college and has been doing great, has a very succesfull year, no sign of her deppression,she does not take any medication now, she has a very nice, intellectual, boy friend, she is very mature, smart,healty happy beautiful young girl now. I live in a mansion in Potomac, I always wanted a big house, so it also happened in 2007. I have a new great relationship, man of my dreams finally came. My brother and I made up , he apoligized and accepted his mistakes and mistreatments of the family. Thank you universe for my abundance, thank you for my great joyful life.

2007 has been an awesome year!!! I have achieved my five main goals: 1. Start a new job and excel, 2. Generate extra money (about $3000/mth with a web-based side business w/n 6mths), 3. Finish the rough draft of my first novel, 4. Get a house with my girlfriend and 5. Continued growth and success with my band.

It was bumpy at first -- going into the new year unemployed was difficult and a challenge but by the middle of January I had started with a great company and by March became their top sales representative in the country.

As I began to work on my side business things just flowed together and I began to make a little money within the first few months and then by June about $2,000 a month and then in October it picked up to $3,000 a month...

I also followed the path in the book 'The weekend novelist' to finally finish the rough draft of my first novel. I feel so much lighter and energized now that that has been done. It was also a lot easier than I had expected now that I look back on the action steps.

The other great event was that my girlfriend and I rented a house together on the northside of town. It is great, A nice five bedroom with three bathrooms, a huge yard that is fenced for our adopted dog and so her girls can play safely...it is just awesome! I have my own office that I work out of, there is a formal livingroom and then a family room for the tv and all the regular activities. My girlfriend enjoys the huge kitchen with plenty of storage as well as the master bedroom with attached bathroom...we are very happy here...

Lastly, the band has done very well this year. We had our CD release in March and had a very strong turn-out (800 people), sold about 100 discs and 35 shirts...We have opened for some very large national acts and will have our second CD completed by January 2008. The chemistry in the band is strong and everyone is getting along better than ever...

As I look back to when I wrote this it is hard to believe that so much can happen within the course of a year --- I feel truly blessed and am thankful for everything and everyone in my life!!!

I decided that in 2007 I was going to live my best life, and I did. Light-filled changes happened throughout the year, and I am now an empowered woman, and living at my potential. First off, I got fabulous 8x10 actor headshots with a great photographer, and they sparked more auditions for me. Then, I attained the perfect agents for me and we are so happy with our business relationship. I now audition and perform in professional theatre, as well as TV and film. I also finished a long time body project, and finally toned up and am now healthy and happy physically. My fiction book was published, and is now gathering a faithful following. My previously published book has also been re-discovered, and is selling fabulously. My play was also produced, and was received well. I am also in a healthy, mature, spiritual, and balanced relationship with a wonderful man. I have financial freedom, and abundance flows to me from many different avenues. Life is a constant surprise and delight! I am now living a full-time creative life and it's very hard to remember what the dark times felt like. I am grateful for my progress, but I don't dwell in the darkness anymore. I live in light!

It is the end of the year 2007 and it flew by so quickly. I am now working at a new and wonderful, well paying job of my dreams. My co-workers are supportive and great friends and encourage me to use my intuitive talents, to further the good for all. I am well paid. I have flexible hours. Everyone is loving and supportive to one another. I have been saying that this job is on its way and so it happened with little effort on my part other than believing that I am here to help and serve others!
I have been busy, yet I have found the energy to work, enjoy life, grow spiritually, stay healthy, and physically fit through new activities like yoga and swimming. Lucy dog and I continue to enjoy hiking and our favorite beach places.
Mike and I continue to be free from financial worry as Mike’s workers comp case is settled and has provided us with more money then we ever dreamed of. I now drive a new little efficiency car. We helped dulcey get one also. We are about to purchase a fully paid for, cute little house, that allows tons of natural light, has great storage, has a yard for our pets, garden space, quiet, private and a beautiful view. You are all welcome to visit and enjoy, we love the company. We intend to travel to the outside of the country for long periods of time. Now that we have established a beautiful home base, the goal is to periodically travel, stay long enough to immerge ourselves into the foreign community and learn and enjoy.
We got the most wonderful news that Damon has found his dream job and that he and Gerod are moving soon to live in a beautiful place closer to us and that we will see them often. They are so in love and supportive of one another, they are seriously considering adopting! I will be blessed with a GRANDchild! We have so much money now that we absolutely can give it away to family to help them progress as needed. Yes!
More good news, Dulcey is about to begin her helicopter pilot flight training and it is all paid for! She absolutely looks and feels radiant!
The absolute best news is that Mike’s work with Maureen and Energy healing has transformed him to a new and different man. He is calmer, he can handle more tasks, he is loving, and he has let go of the old cravings and has faith in the Source!

Hi Lo,

Just you and me here again. Was 2007 everything you hoped it would be? Yeah, I thought so. It was one of the best years of our lives. It was so amazing to finally be a celebrated published author. I love how you didn’t hold anything back on that book. It was celebrated around the world. And the speaking engagements it opened up! Wow. It was thrilling to be sponsored by corporations like American Express and Go To My PC. Webinars were also a cool new way to make money. It’s wonderful to have an expanded list of 75,000 and a fan base of hundreds of thousands. I’m so pleased to be asked to conduct a guest workshop at the University of NC Chapel Hill.

I get a lot of offers for joint ventures and to do copywriting for others but I’m happy I’m in a position to only take on a few that bring in a minimum of $50,000 per project.

Scotland and Ireland were beautiful…and lucrative. How I enjoyed holding an international workshop and being around other cultures. When I speak live, I always am respected and sell a ton of product. It’s so cool. I loved speaking at Mark’s and Dan’s events actually the most. And I’m looking forward to speaking in Australia and Singapore next year.

John and I finally bought a beautiful home in the Valley. I have a private office with a door that really closes. I don’t have to listen to outside noise anymore when I want to write! The boys have their own rooms and Shadow has a yard to play in.

Boy do I look amazing! I’ve really started to regiment my food and exercise more than ever before and it shows in my skin, my health, my weight…everything. I have more energy than I’ve ever imagined.

I love that my income skyrocketed almost overnight to $50,000 per month. But having a steady financial base is only part of why I am so happy. The best part is how much free time I have to be with my family, take them on trips, horseback ride and create. It’s good to be me!

Love,

Lorrie

Dear Friends: As we head into 2008, I want to take a moment to share with all of you the many, many blessings that Steve and I have experienced in 2007. What a wonderful year!

Early in the year, Steve agreed to finance and build the covered riding arena that I have been longing for for so many years. It is beautiful and has every amenity I could think of: dust-free footing, overhead lights, mirrors on the end wall, screens and deep eaves to keep the rain out, even a full-size bathroom for me and a washrack (with hot water!) for the horses. It was finished in late June. I've been riding five days a week since then, which as many of you know, I have wanted to do for many years. Riding is such great physical and emotional therapy for me. With all the time in the saddle, I've lost 20 pounds and have stopped taking the antidepressant completely. And, with all the time and training he's been receiving, my 4-year-old colt, Cody, is coming along beautifully and will be ready to start his reining training in mid-2008. Lacey, his mother, continues to thrive and retains her title of Trail Horse Diva. She's always the best behaved, most reliable horse on the trail. I'm so proud of her!

Steve's health continues to improve. The prostate problem that came to light early in the year, and which we feared might be cancer, turned out to be an infection that was easily treated with antibiotics. The best result, however, was that the doctor that treated him convinced him to QUIT SMOKING!! He's been smoke-free now for ten months and looks and feels ten years younger. Needless to say, I am thrilled! And the house smells better, too!!

I remain cancer-free, after seven years. With all the riding and two rounds of golf every week, I'm feeling healthier and happier than ever!

Financially, we have been especially blessed. Early in the Spring, I was able to reduce my work hours to 20 hours a week without a reduction in income. I paid off my accumulated debt several months earlier than my target date and, freed from that worry, have started painting again. My dear friend, Emily, is eagerly awaiting a shipment of my new paintings which she will hang for sale in her gallery. The first four I sent her sold in one month!

Several of my friends also have had blessings this past year. Debbie has continued to see wonderful growth in her Mustang Rescue project. The right people with the right talents keep showing up at just the right time. Her light is burning brightly. My dear friend, Wes, who was diagnosed with advanced Lymes disease early in 2007, located a very experienced physician and is well-along the road to recovery. He expects to be fully recovered by mid-2008. I am so happy for him and his wonderful wife, my dear friend, Doreen.

May you and yours experience all the blessings of the Universe in 2008!

[Pam]

Dear Friend,

Is it already 2008? Unbelievable! I’m spent with overwhelming feelings of gratitude for this most bountiful year. I finally took the time to hear myself, to hear my spirit, to listen and learn and to know myself and most of all trust my God. I know I am on the right path, I feel it in every breath, thought, intention, and decision I make. It is soooooooo wonderful to be free of second-guessing myself.

Was it only a year ago that I signed up with “Choose Prosperity”? I remember the first thing requested of me was to select my 5 most powerful intentions…only I chose 7. One of my selections was that I wanted to attract more money. I got an amazing promotion, the job I am now doing feeds my creative soul and gives me joy! Plus I am making more moola! YEAH!!!! Another was to enhance my intimate relationships, and I have this met this guy who makes me feel like two million dollars, cause I already feel like a million on my own! Oh before I forget I’m getting a “name-change” in July 08. And I’m feeling better than ever, I’m in great shape, I’ve lost 80 pounds!!!!! I have so much fun playing with my niece and nephew. Plus I’ve started designing and sewing my own clothes for myself. I feel 20 years younger and am on top of the world.

Hey have I told you that I will be in LA end of February? I will fill you in on the remaining four intentions I made.

Again, thanks for introducing me to “Choose Prosperity”. And when I come to LA, a day at the SPA is on me.

See you soon.

[Laura]

Dear Friends,

Wow, 2007 was the best year of my life. I am soaring. I have dedicated so much to really attaining a loving relationship with my inner being and becoming a deliberate creator. I was able to manifest such fabulous stuff this year. I got my Lexus SUV, I've had my eye on it for a while and decided it was the car for me. Michael came home early in the year with a huge bonus and also a raise he has been deserving for a while, I finally got my money vibration up and let it in and now we are living big. The first thing we did was luxury car shop. It is such fun to shop for expensive cars, I picked an ivory colored one and it is beautiful. The tan leather interior is so gorgeous and rich looking. The kids have enjoyed watching movies on the dvd in the car on our trips this year. My girls took their first plane ride to Disneyworld this year. It was a most magical trip. I will never forget landing at the airport and seeing such anticipation from the girls, it is a priceless feeling that excitment of 3 adn 6 year olds. It was so magnificent having a whole 7 days to do anything we wanted. we felt no rush and saw everything. it was a trip i'll always remember. I also got my new house. New construction homes are such fun and being the first to live somewhere is a wonderful feeling. It is all mine, just the way i like it. the neighborhood is amazing. we have those neighbors i have dreamed of having since i've been married. the couple is just wonderful and they have two girls also. we've had slumber parties and barbeques and the fourth of july fireworks were amazing at the block party. My children ride their bikes and skip around visiting, it feels so warm and safe and comfortable here. and my house is magnificent. my woood floors are to die for and the brick in the kitchen are so warm. i have one of those kitchen islands i can fit everyone at and i am loving it, i actually love to cook now in my fancy top of the line kitchen. and my girls rooms are amazing. we also did our annual beach trip with the family, onlyh this year we were able to get a big house with a pool, we really enjoyed this. i am just loving life over here. i'm excited about my everydays and look great too. i lost 25 pounds and feel good in my body and felt so confident and gorgeous on the beach!! taht was also priceless feeling.i am that beautiful rich loving mother with a most adorable rich loving husband and two beautiful smart confident children who know their own power. we are looking forward to many more magnifcient years. bless everyone on their journeys.

Hey,

I almost never sit down and write a snail mail letter, but I just felt this is the way to do it. I wanted to tell you firstly that I haven't written enough because I never felt very proud of what was happening in my life. And I withdrew somewhat from your friendship because everything always seemed to go so well for you all the time - great marriage, free time to explore your own things, and not worrying ever about money. I just sort of felt almost saddened by that, which i know is ridiculous, but nonetheless, that's where i was...

Anyway, i'm writing to tell you of how happy i am. i was a happy person before, but always wondering , why not me?

First things first --- I GOT MARRIED! i know, i know,what? where? when? It's taken me 16 years to really get to that point of, I think, letting it happen, or allowing it to happen....and he's a great guy!! handsome, smart, ambitious, and a wonderful guy. just the two of us, NO big fanfare, just a trip to italy - (and - we will have that party, just wanted to do the ceremony with the two of us)....and --- my designs are selling on the internet!!! it's going well, and another line is coming out sometime next year! I'm able to put all my energy into my own stuff now!! ( no more outstanding bills!!) i am so looking forward to entertaining friends and family in our new home, cant wait!!

This has been the best year of my life, just incredible, and i'm in the best shape i've ever been in...just feeling so energetic about everything...and happy. as i write this, i feel tears coming, for the gratitude that's in my heart.

lastly, i love you. and i cant wait to see you again!

xo,
rosemary

What a fantastic year 2007 was. It started off with a brand new outlook on life filled with amazing possibilities. First, I was surprised and thrilled when a fringe coat that I had loaned to a childhood friend when I was 8 showed 33 years later on my front porch! I had longed for that coat, it held so much meaning for me, I wanted to give it to my girls and see them prance around in it just as I did.

Kevin and I found tremendous prosperity in 2007; his business just took off and hasn’t landed! Other surprising turn of events brought in new streams of financial prosperity which has essentially more than doubled our household income. This prosperity had brought to us our vacation home in the mountains, a perfect getaway to commune with our family and nature. It’s a great wood cabin, nestled in a private spot with the best southern exposure you could imagine and a view of the lake; we had a ton of fun decorating it and painting it wild (yet warm) colors. The house has a area set off from the rest of it that is perfect for yoga and meditation, this has become our retreat, to refresh our thoughts and bring in the fullness of life. Our girls enjoy the freedom that this new space offers, they can explore the woods and climb on the rocks just as I did as a child, it is so special to me that they have greater exposure to the pure magic of outdoor freedom!

You also won’t be surprised to hear that I now have a minivan. Although, it’s an indulgence of sorts, it fits with who I am and who I love to be. You know how I am a social creature by nature and love to go places and do things and always invite whoever I can, kids, adults, dogs!! Now I have room, let the party begin.

Finally, the most important change in 2007 is the one of greatest value; I am feeling the full joy of life as I have forgotten what it is like to have PMS. My mood is energized and I feel the fullness of life, months pass and I remain energized and calm month to month, never ending, peacefulness is my State Of Being. This has been a grand change not only for me but for my husband and children. We all enjoy each and every day, we enjoy each others’ smiles and laughter. Early in 2007 I came up with an acronym that represented the me that I am, and it is: Giggling, Happy, Supportive, Patient Mother --- GHSPM. Pronounced GHiPSoM, it sounds like a magical gem, I am now GHiPSoM.

I welcome 2008 and am eager to embark on yet another journey.

[Nishkala Jenney]

So much has happened this past year… Way beyond what I could imagine. First, the strong habit of worry and fear about my finances and the uncertainty of my practical life simply dissolved one day, and has not returned. The desire to live each moment steeped in the peace and happiness of my being simply took over and has not left. Living from this peace is what is attracting my clients; those who come for sessions recognize, and want it for themselves. I help them to know that this is equally possible for them.
Living from this deep peace, I have abundant energy and the natural intelligence has been fully available. There has been a crystal clarity of knowing what I want – how I want my life to look and feel. And so it is now. Brochures, flyers and a website were designed by a friend as an exchange, giving a true, beautiful and a clear expression of what I offer. Many people see my website and call me for sessions.
My work life is full and deeply satisfying; I am sharing what I love and feel most deeply about with ease and joy. I am finally doing what I do best…loving every moment and my earnings are higher than ever..…I never used to believe it was possible to earn so much so easily. I am netting $4,000 a month at least…my work is effortless and comes naturally, the clarity simply came, bringing the different modalities together seamlessly…and a great name for my business arose with ease…my counseling and yoga practice has flourished effortlessly via word of mouth from very happy clients who are committed, intelligent and open and are thirsty to know who they are and live it. I also offer services for stress management for staff, faculty and students at the local colleges. I have a steady stream of wonderful clients from these institutions and word of mouth has produced most of my clientele.
I schedule private sessions at least 3 weeks in advance, and have 10 regular clients a week, - 2 sessions a day…with the free time I need for myself. Some sessions are in person, and a good number are phone sessions from people from outside the area. While busy, I am calm and comfortable with this schedule…In fact it feeds me and I have more energy. I can control my own schedule and take regular time off to vacation with my partner when I want to. I also have time for at one or two week retreats a year.
I receive $80-125 for one hour sessions, and the clients are willing and grateful for the invaluable help they are receiving. I earn enough to easily cover all living expenses, with plenty extra to use as I want to, as well as anywhere from $ 500 - $1000 a month for savings.

I am full of gratitude.

The rockets of 2007 have finished the reentry stage, and the rockets of 2008 are off and running. 2007 and was such a grand and wonderful year, I don't know where to start. First off, after reading Abe-Hicks I realized that I kept coupling prosperity with having to work. Well I changed that pairing and decided to live my life free as a bird, free as Bill Gates, waking each morning to create my day the way I wanted. WOW! did the Universe deliver and fast. The windfall of money that liberated me from the mundane was so large and unexpected, it took my breathe away, just thinking about how much Source loves each and every one of us. I am writing you from a Villa on the Riviera right now. I woke up yesterday and we decided to take a week to hang out here, and we will be eating dinner tonight in Paris. It is easy to fly back and forth on our jet. Wish you were here as the ocean is lovely this time of year. My life is full of potential and creativity, I am alive and believe me Santa delivers gifts everyday, now that my mind and heart are open to the unlimited supply of Energy and my Inner Being. Wishing you all the best. Looking forward to our trip to Cabo in February..See you then. Kisses and Hugs.

Hey what a year it has been!

It started out with so much change, tinged with saddness, but the more I let go of the old, the more the new, exciting, joyful, peaceful, abundant opportunities arrived at my doorstep.

"Igniteful", my re- launched company took off. Working in collaboration with my good friend Lorri and business associates, Barb and Dirk and Dean.

Working at Primeway has lead to so many amazing corporate opportunites, and I am so happy doing my strategic aligning for small buisness and being a positive change agent in others lives. Seeing people grow and finally find their passion and seeing companies grow to achieve for their owners all that they want to be, do, and have has been rewarding.

We finally launched the book and it has been successful, but in turn has lead to the development of many of my own books, all on line providing me with a passive stream of income, along with e-courses and speaking engagements. The Mentor Club also came to fruition and is again providing a passive stream of income, while helping end world poverty.

I attended my graduation in October, and was in tears to receive my Master of Education. It just goes to show that when you truly want to accomplish something, no matter how long it takes, it is possible with determination. My boys were so proud, and the cheering from all my wonderful friends and colleges didnt help the tears of accomplishment and joy (Boy im in tears as i write this and experience this occassion in my head.)

My two wonderful boys are growing into fine pre teens! Kind, considerate and always supportive of their crazy Mum. We had an awesome summer, with me coaching them in soccer, hanging out around the pool, doing great day trips and going to England for a vacation. We actually stayed with my folks for some of the time, and survived with ease, and even visited Ian together. They have had great report cards in this last semester..can you believe they are in grades 6 and 7. Im so proud of them and their amazing outlook on life. Of course, hockey is in full swing now and they are loving it.

Jane and I made it to Maui, with my boys in tow, and Wayne Dyer was inspirational and empowering. Being able to thank him personally for the impact he has had in my life was humbling. He is an amazing man and I am lucky and glad to have been able to share this with Jane who started me on this amazing journey all those years ago.

Oh yeah! I paid off my car, all my insurances are paid in full and bills on time. The boys and I developed a financial plan, and enjoyed investing our money. We bought our first investment property and we are the dynamic trio. By the time they are adults, they will be well ahead of the game!

Ive enjoyed dating for the first time in my life...the joke of 'causual momentary interludes' kinda held true and allowed me the joy of having male energy around, while focusing on myself for the first time. I look forward to meeting the man of that amazing dream I had back in January, with confidence and with the knowledge I can set boundaries, have fun and love unconditionally and accept love in return.

So I end this letter with the way I began the year..."Bring it on" 2008! Im loving life and am grateful each and every minute to the universe for providing me will all that I want to be, do and have.

In grace and love

Jessica

Well after living in 4 different places in the past 3 months, we are finally settling in to a new place which seems to be working out fine for us. I feel 2007 will be a turnaround for us.
I am still learning to let go of the past and visualizing positive outcomes. I am new at visualization techniques.
For 2007, my goals are i) to increase my income by $50,000 ii) lose 20 pounds iii) to pass my security courses iv) stay positive regardless of the circumstances.

Just a tip: you can send yourself an email to the future at FutureMe.Org. Set the send date as Jan 1st 2008 and send those emails to yourself, so by the new year you have a nice reminder ;)

Wow! 2007 was the most amazingly fun and delightful year ever! I felt like a child having one incredible adventure after another. What an awesome life experience this is. I feel so blessed to have so many wonderful tools, opportunities and people in my life. Things just keep getting better and better.

I loved homeschooling Dominique and Mikkel. Every day was filled with miracles and sweet lessons on how to be in a loving and sharing space. School was such fun and so interesting in many neat ways. Our time together was truly a joyful experience. It was such a pleasure and privilege to learn from each other. I loved how Marshall supported our homeschooling experience in every way possible whenever he could.

When I lightened up on the self-imposed restrictions, "should's" and "have to's", the world seemed so much brighter in 2007. My heart felt so incredibly open and I felt so free to embrace all of the good that life has to offer. Money continued to roll in and delighted me no end! It was plentiful and abundant like I always knew it could be. It was such fun not to worry about affording things and to be able to pick and choose whatever I want whenever I want. We are all meant to live like kings and queens and I have perfect evidence to support this. Yeah!

My relationships continued to blossom and bloom all year and my heart fills right up just thinking now about the wonderful people in my life. I experienced such harmony, joy and delight with my loved ones. It has been a truly beautiful experience to be in such a space of allowing, receptivity and openness. I finally feel and know with all of my heart what love and joy are!

Much love to my fellow companions and may your lives be blessed with incredible riches and treasures, as is mine!

Wow! What an amazing year 2007 has been for me! I started a new job and earning almost double what I was making in my previous job. I'm surrounded by coworkers who are supportive, fun and thriving just like me. I paid off my credit cards and have plenty of money each month.

My relationships with my son, family and friends have improved immensely. I've also made some wonderful new friends.

Earlier this year, I met and fell in love with a wonderful man who's thoughtful, caring, spiritually centered, humorous, attractive, and intelligent. We have many similar interests and enjoy spending time together.

Each moment of my life is pure joy and I feel so blessed! Thank you to the Universe and to you, Elyse...for your life changing Prosperity Program.

A letter to Simon about 2007

Dude, what a year! And, before you ask, I was looking sexy!

Firstly, the amount of love, growth, connections, fun, freedom and fulfilment I had was overwhelming. I managed to build relationships with those who really mattered and influence so many people it was really heart warming to me. I feel a great sense of inner fulfilment and honour that I had the opportunity.

My blog, has just erupted past anything I could have dreamed. I’m really helping people out. I’m receiving so many emails from people telling me how an article has helped them, or wanting me to explain something. Honestly, I’m just thrilled to bits that I have this opportunity to touch people.

I’m getting so many donations through my blog as well. It’s nice that I can be monetarily rewarded for my contribution to society. Plus with the extra money I can donate more to charity, live my ideal life a bit more, and travel. It’s awesome.

My coaching business has really been skyrocketing as well my man. When I blog, I’m teaching and I absolutely adore that feeling when I’m inspired by an article and then work through it and complete it. When I coach, it’s nice that I can give someone my personal attention for an hour and really provide an instant but lasting boost to their life and the lives of those they interact with. I’m in such demand it’s unreal. People are willing, eager to pay me upwards of €100 an hour! Goulet!

I’ve done public speaking on the subject, and ran teleclasses. What’s great is how inspired I have and how time rich I am as well.

I hit six figures with income. It was so great, when I did, I thought, wow, that was so effortless and easy, so I’m going for seven.

And the romance and love and sex has been frigging fantastic! She is absolutely amazing. Full of life and energy, ridiculously hot and so supportive. The freedom we have and the way we gel is beyond words. I’m so lucky to be living this awesome life full of sexual fulfilment. And man oh man, does she like it!

But what’s really great is just the freedom and fun we have together. It has all the great things in life and it’s truly pure and beautiful to connect on so many levels so easily.

I know you’re doing well my man,
Colm
