Happy 11-11-11 everyone. Aside from it being Remembrance Day, it is also a day of new beginnings, and a great opportunity to bring awareness into your life.

When you begin seeing 11-11-11 in your daily life, it is a reminder that you are creating your life experiences in this moment. I remember a client asking me once what it meant to see so many 11′s and I told him “be aware of what you are thinking”. He was surprised and appeared disappointed that that is what it was.

The thing is, a lot of people expect that when they start to get signs, it is all about what is “out there”. My client expected that my answer would contain information about what was outside of himself.

What the ‘answer’ is, is that your guides and/or higher self are bringing to your attention that you are in a moment of creating and to remind you to keep your thoughts positive, loving and forward.

If you see 111′s, take a good ‘look’ at what you were just thinking about in that moment. Were you thinking about what you wanted, or were you thinking about what you didn’t want? Either way, its a reminder that you can change your thoughts, or expand on them. Which of course will change your life.

Over the past (long time), I have been writing about letting go. If you have successfully let go of something, even if it is just with your heart, now, on 11-11-11 is the perfect time to look at what you want to create. 1 is the beginning. It is a fresh start. A new energy. Those of you who have been working on letting go and self-change may feel a huge shift this week, and especially today.

Chances are, if you are reading this, you have already shifted your way of thinking from the 3D, and are embracing the fact that we are Souls in human form.

If you are reading this, and have not made any changes, or let anything go over the past while, you may be finding yourself a bit worried. Don’t. The “Window of Change” (according to the Mayan’s), is from 1980 to 2016. With of course December 2012 being the focus for many people.

11-11-11 is a big deal energetically, but if you had not been ready for a shift beforehand, or if you didn’t have any shifts that you needed to make (rare, but I suppose possible), you will still be impacted by the “Collective Energy” of everyone and everything on the planet. Ride the ‘wave’ of energy, allow for the flow, the new, and you can’t help but feel good.

I have a couple of ladies that come to visit me every couple of weeks. The one that has been coming the longest is Judy and she is a very sweet woman. We usually end up talking for about 5 or 10 minutes and they usually leave me a copy of the Watchtower or Awake. They are Jehovah’s Witnesses and they are doing what they can to help spread their word.

Now I know a lot of people don’t like the Jehovah’s Witnesses coming to their door and they make fun of them or get mad at them. I don’t agree with everything thing they say, and its a shame that they are so fearful, but really, they are just like me and you and they are doing what they know.

We actually have some very good conversations. For the past few months they had been talking about Armageddon – a lot. I told them that each and every day is Armageddon for someone, somewhere.

Its funny, normally when they come now, I talk much more than they do. I do not preach, but they will say something and I cannot help but respond with what I know.

I talk to them a lot about spreading love not fear. I was talking of the fact that what we put out there can snowball. Last time they were here, I told them that with some of the crises going on in the world, we had an opportunity to spread love, and acknowledge all the positive loving people that are on the planet right now. It was apparent that that had not occured to them until I said it. That was not where their focus was.

I talked about what difference each of us could make. When we come into contact with someone, we can chose to interact with love or with fear/anger. Just one loving interaction with one person can change our energy for the whole day. Why don’t we chose to be the one that can assist someone to feel better? It is so easy. Say thank you to someone. Be polite when in a store, don’t rush so much and don’t be so self absorbed that you think other people’s time isn’t as important as yours. Speeding and tailgaiting while on the road can cause angst for whoever it is you just cut off. Why not just be a bit more patient, take 30 seconds more to get to where you need to go and spread that type of energy, instead of the fear energy we feel when you are driving agressively around us?

We have all had experiences where we’ve driven somewhere and by the time we got to our destination we are basket cases because of how those in other cars were acting. DON’T BE THAT PERSON IN THE OTHER CAR!!!! You will be less frazzled and the rest of us on the road will appreciate it.

But I digress. Judy left me a couple of articles to read, which I probably will if I have time. She said “Oh, you probably don’t watch the news then, I don’t”. I said quite the contrary. I told her that I did watch the news. How else could I know where my prayers are needed most? I told her that when I watch the news, I do not look at the screen with thoughts of “oh no, what a mess the world is”. I look at it and send loving and healing energy wherever it is needed. When I see how many people are trying to help I can visibly see the love that is being projected, that is where I put my focus.

I am only one person, sending one set of prayers to many different areas of the planet. However, I believe it does make a difference.

Just before Judy walked away today, I put my hand on her shoulder, and I said. Just remember, when you are going to people’s doors today, focus on the love of what is in the world, not the fear of what is out there. I hope she thinks on it and makes that decision. I know that she no longer mentions anything to me about “Armageddon or “God’s Anger”, as a matter of fact, today the scripture she shared with me talked all about God’s love, and the loving people on earth. Maybe she’s getting it…..Love is what its all about.

I got back from the “Celebrate Your Life” Conference in Phoenix yesterday.  I met some of the most amazing people.  One of the souls I had the pleasure to connect with was Shawn Gallaway.  Hearing him in person and feeling his energy was quite the experience!

I share one of his uplifting and inspiring songs here.  Give it a listen, open your heart and choose Love for yourself.

There’s so much talk these days about what makes people happy.  Its on the news, in advertisements, at work, in self-help books, and all over the Internet.  It has to do with daily activities, work, relationships, money, what we do with our days, the list is endless.  We are constantly bombarded with messages that tell us that we too can be happy.  if only we have this, do that, or live our life in a certain way.

It takes a lot of different types of people to make the world the place it is.  We all have our roles to play.  Because of the people I know, the time I spend on-line, and because I have a blog, I am constantly hearing how I can make my blog friendlier for search engines, how I can grow my blog, sell things on my blog, all in order to make a lot of money.  

For the sake of full disclosure, I sometimes get a commission for some of the things I refer, but that is not the reason I suggest certain things.  I refer things that I like, admire, respect, and think will be helpful to people.  If I earn something from it that is a bonus for me.  I write my blog because that is what I feel drawn to do.  Some ‘bloggers’ tell me I need to make more money off of my blog to make it ‘worth it’.  I can say that the feedback I get from my blog makes it worth it, and it makes me happy.  But, I’ve had people tell me that I could be happier if I just did it their way.  Thing is, I am truly happy now. 

I hear all the time that self-employment is the way to go.  We hear “be your own boss” all the time.  We are told if you have to answer to someone else, whether it be in an office, or on a construction site, you cannot possibly be happy.  Work for yourself and you will never have to deal with a boss who’s a jerk again! 

This isn’t always the case though.  A lot of people I know are really happy to be working for someone else.  They go to work, they come home, they enjoy their life.  A lot of them even have nice bosses and positive work environments.  Some make really good money, some make average money, some make very little money, but if they (you) are happy, what difference does it make. 

Working for yourself isn’t always the end-all-be-all of wonderful things.  There have been many times over the past 6 years since I quit my day job where I wasn’t sure if I had enough money to make the mortgage, never mind feed my family.  For a lot of people, this type of stress would make them very unhappy.

I know a handful of wonderful women that are stay-at-home moms.  When I was in my 20′s and was working my way up the corporate ladder I truly did not understand women like that.  Didn’t they have any goals?  Didn’t they want to be successful?  They seemed happy, but how could they truly be if they weren’t working, making an impact in the world.  Of course I know better now that I am a mom too.  I work at home and I know just how precious the time with my son is.  I wouldn’t trade it for anything.  Now, rather than wonder about women like that, I admire them.  It takes a special type of person to be able to truly embrace being a parent.

I lived alone for most of my adult life until I met my husband.  I was 38 before I truly allowed someone into my life and into my living space.  I was (usually), very happily single.  Some people couldn’t understand how I could possibly be happy on my own.  Well, I’d had a few disastrous relationships and I truly was happy on my own.  I made plenty of money to support myself, I had a lot of friends, lots to do, a great job, a pretty good life. 

Now I am happily living with and sharing my life with someone that I respect and adore (as he does me).  Now I have people asking me how I can possibly be this happy when I have to share the life, and moods, and habits of someone else.  I have some women acquaintances that are constantly complaining about their husbands (or boyfriends) and they just don’t understand how I could be happy.

I started reading a book by Jack Canfield (The Success Principles, How to Get from Where You Are to Where You Want to Be), and I have to admit, that I am almost finding parts of the book to be depressing.  This is just me personally, this I know.  Everything is a matter of perspective, but it is really making me think.  Could I be more successful?  Could I write a best-seller, or do more readings, or send the audition tape to the person in California who asked me to?  Why yes I could.  With enough determination and hard work I could pretty much do anything (as could you). 

But do I want to.  Do I need to.  I don’t think I do.  Not today.  Next week, month, year or decade, I could decide I want to head in one of those directions.  But right now when I think about it, all it does is stress me out.  I like being with my family, I am a homebody by nature, I feel happy and successful.  Right this minute I don’t want to go anywhere.  Except for maybe my trip to Phoenix for the Celebrate Your Life Conference in November.  I am looking forward to being inspired and having a weekend away, check it out, maybe you could go too.

Reading that book almost made me feel like what I was doing wasn’t enough.  (I can’t stress enough that this is my perception and my baggage that was creating that feeling for me).   If you are feeling like you are stuck and want more out of your life, then this book is an amazing tool for acheiving success in your life. 

I guess my point for those of you that are reading this is that you need to do what makes you happy.  Not what some book, or society, or your friends, or family, or anyone else says.  It is your life, and if you are happy, continue to embrace that and don’t worry about what the neighbours or anyone else thinks.

That is so true.  Often, we know that something is not good for us but we just can’t seem to let go of it.  This applies to people, jobs, attitudes, past hurts, excess weight, the list is endless.

We do have ultimate control over our own lives, but sometimes our brain takes over and we repeat thoughts and feelings over and over in our head.  We know we should be affirming something else for ourselves, we know that we should let go, but we just can’t seem to do it. 

So, how do you begin to let go.

The first thing you need to do is recognize that there is a need to let something go.  If there is anything in your life that is causing you pain, it needs to be let go of – life is not meant to be painful.

Secondly, you need to realize that it is not an easy thing to let go of something that has been in your life a long time.  It becomes a part of who we are.  There is no sense in engaging in negative self-talk.  You are human after all and your habits become your reality.  So, stop telling yourself you are stupid or weak for not being able to do it easily.

The third step involves just being willing to give something up.  It doesn’t necessarily mean that right this second, you are going to give up something that you have been experiencing for a long time, but you need to be willing to give it up.  If you have the same thoughts running through your head over and over again, just affirm that you are willing to try to think different things.  

Which brings us to the fourth step.  You don’t have to let go all at once.   With some things, what happens is that if you try and do it all at one time, and you find yourself faltering, you tell yourself that you just aren’t good enough, or just can’t do it, and you give up. 

The fifth step is to realize that it is okay to ask for help to move on.  When you find that you are obsessing over something, ask for help.  Whether it be through prayer or asking your guides, or God, Angels, Ascended Masters, or whoever you believe is there to help you.  You don’t always have to start out with an action.  You can start out with an intention.   Just as your mind can keep you stuck with something in an endless loop, it can also be used to unstick you.  Thoughts become things. 

Once you have recognized the need to let go; accepted that you are ‘normal’ and ‘human’ and have stopped putting yourself down; and affirming that you are willing to give it up; start to slowly let go, one day, one step at a time; and learn to ask for help when you feel like you just can’t do it alone; you will be well on your way to letting go and moving on with the more enjoyable parts of your life.
