I have been fascinated by the power of thought from the time I was six years old. That’s when my father successfully convinced me I could cure warts with chalk. My warts vanished and I told everyone about it, until my father took me aside. He told me, “I know nothing about warts or chalk, but I do know that what you believe becomes true for you.”

My passion for learning to create on purpose, with the power of thought, led me to study with Louise L. Hay, author of the book, “You Can Heal Your Life.” Louise led me to practice positive affirmations and visualizations with delightful results. I attracted my dream job, my dream home, and the man of my dreams!

It’s been almost 20 years since I created those incredible results and to this day, I still continue reading “Create What You Want with Positive Affirmations”

Sticky note_35023 - QuoteI love inspirational quotes! I find that short pithy one or two liners are really helpful when I’m trying to find a higher perspective or to elevate my mood. Sometimes I’ll make a bright-colored post-it out of a favorite saying and put it on my fridge, filing cabinet, bulletin board or vision poster. I may use a favorite quote to illustrate a point in my writing or speeches; I may print one out as a bookmark to give away to a friend; or I may post one on my social media sites like Twitter and Facebook.

A few weeks ago I had an idea – to offer an eBook of my favorite quotes to  the subscribers to my ezine as a free gift.  Over the years, I’ve collected thousands of inspirational quotes so I found it quite a challenge to winnow my favorites down to just 101 for this collection.

Well I did it!  continue reading to find out how you can get a free copy of these quotes

Imagine a woman getting up at 4:30am every weekday morning to get ready to go to the gym. Driving in Edmonton, Alberta on even the coldest days, with snow on the ground and icy patches on the road. And while at the gym, working out on the treadmill for 30 minutes, the stair master for 15 minutes and lifting weights up to 10 pounds with each hand.  Then a series of exercises on a balance ball.  And after that perhaps a few laps in the pool. Can you imagine that?

Now imagine that this woman is 82 years old.

Well that describes my mother Margaret Evers.  She made a commitment to get in shape when she retired at age 60 and continue reading My Mom, My Coach

This article appeared originally in Blissings Ezine in February 2006.

As I stood in the shower this morning, mulling over all the tasks on my to-do list, a thought occurred that shocked and delighted me, “Joy first. Then anything else I have time for.”

My ever-alert inner commentator gagged,
“Say what?”

“Joy first. Then anything else I have time for,”
I repeated, firmly.

My inner commentator hooted with derision. “You’ve got to be nuts! You have so much on your plate today, if you don’t swing into action right now, put your nose to grindstone and start completing on some projects, you are going to be working all weekend.”

I sighed as I felt my energy disappearing down the drain with the water, before my day had even begun. Then I noticed something else. Between the squawking commentaries of my inner taskmaster, I heard a different voice, a peaceful comforting voice that said, “Remember, you are here for the joy of the journey.”

Questions for a Joyous Journey

Immediately I felt my mood improving and a resurging of my energy – at least enough that I remembered to ask myself those all-important, ego-dodging questions: continue reading Joy First. Then Anything Else You Have Time For
