Saturday, December 5th, 2009“Peace” Through the Eyes of a 10 Year Old
Sunday, September 13th, 2009I was invited to a birthday party and the host of the party has a 10 year old son named Adam. He spent most of his time initially on the computer while people were starting to arrive. You could tell he was aware of all the activity and yet he was a quiet but not shy to interacting and connecting with the all the quests.
He shared his poem named “Peace” and I felt compelled to share this with all of you. Out of the mouths of babes we get peace.
Peace
Peace is like a hot tub in winter.
Peace is like a flower in spring.
Peace is like a pool in summer.
Peace is a butterfly bush in butterfly season.
Peace is a bird house in spring.
Peace is a dogwood tree in bloom.
Peace is knocking on your door, waiting for you to answer,
Peace follows you around everywhere, peace is a famous artist.
Add peace to any problem and you will have a beautiful solution.
By Adam S age 10
Where Does The Faith Within You Lie?

Everything is in Your Own Faith!
We have all heard of Napoleon Hill and his book “Think and Grow Rich” and if you haven’t I suggest you get the book and read it. Bob Proctor has carried a copy of “Think and Grow Rich ” with him from the first day he picked it up to read. I’ve seen it; it’s all tattered from constant daily reading and application of the information presented in this book. Napoleon’s words on Faith.
“FAITH is the starting point of all accumulation of riches!
FAITH is the basis of all “miracles” and all mysteries which cannot be analyzed by the rules of science.
FAITH is the only known antidote for FAILURE.
FAITH is the element, the “chemical” which when mixed with prayer gives one direct communication with Infinite Intelligence.
FAITH is the element which transforms the ordinary “vibration of thought” created by the finite human mind, into its spiritual equivalent.
FAITH is the only agency through which the cosmic force of Infinite Intelligence can be harnessed and used by humanity.” Napoleon Hill.
You might be asking what does faith have to do with self awareness to deliberate attraction and I would say “everything“. It’s the foundation of who I am and what I stand for in my own inner world and how I will attain what I am seeking. Plus, without faith how do any of us live!
Faith is the beginning of everything I desire in life it’s the basis of all things that come into my life. Yes all, the bad as well as the good. When I want something and I focus on that something with every thought I will at some point get what I am creating though my thinking, as long as I deliberately take the actions to get to the end results. It’s not just going to fall from the sky without taking deliberate action and attracting the thing(s) I desire to accomplish my goal.
It’s all about the faith when I feel myself moving forward with every step I take and how I feel empowered by each step achieved. And Faith is crucial to my end results. I’ve learned the hard way that it’s not fun to doubt for even an infinitesimal second on achieving my goals.
Complete faith in me and my goal while taking the actions will assure my results realizing that I do not have to control how the desired outcome will arrive. I’ve had many lessons on letting go. I’ve always thought I had to control exactly how each step will turn out and how I would acquire my desired outcome. But every time I just keep the Faith within and allow the universe to do it’s job as my co-creator I find that I receive exactly what I wanted from sometimes very surprisingly different ways than I anticipated. I’ve learned and am still learning that I have to be open to ideas and suggestions to what I see and hear at all times. It’s being present and following my spirit and heart without questioning.

Slavery or Freedom of Your Soul “What is Your Choice”

“Slavery Vs. Freedom… An Everyday Choice” By Lesley Pelkey
I came across by one of my favorite teachers Dr. Wayne Dyer.
“Freedom means you are unobstructed from living your life as you choose. Anything less would be slavery.”
Everyday is a choice that will take you one step closer to experiencing freedom of your soul or keep you enslaved in the past trapped in limitation by fear and doubt. We were all born into the same world with the same opportunities. It is your destined birthright to live a life filled with love, joy, happiness, freedom, peace, and abundance. As a young child you can probably remember having a great sense of this, but somewhere along the way fell wayside into the illusion of fear, doubt, and limitations. The truth is we are all natural born creators of happiness, hopes, and dreams. The declaration of independence was a gradual and painful process, but it required those alive at time to be brave, willing, and believe it was possible.

It doesn’t matter what aspect of your life comes to mind when you read this. The bottom line you are a slave to fear, doubt, and limitation unless you are willing to be brave and choose differently.
So here it is… the choice is yours.
Are you ready to be brave? Are you willing to do what it takes? Do you believe it is possible? Most importantly, do you trust and believe in yourself?
Will you remain a slave and suffer at the hands of your self imposed limitations?
I once heard someone say, “Keep doing what you’ve always done and you’ll keep getting what you’ve always got.”
Everyday and each moment is a choice. Choose wisely my friends….
Much Love and Many Blessings, Lesley

The Choice is Mine …
Am I ready to be brave? Am I willing to do what it takes? Do I believe it is possible? Most importantly, do I trust and believe in myself?

Someone say, “Keep doing what I’ve always done and I’ll keep getting what I’ve always gotten.”
Everyday and each moment is a choice. Life Is A Choice, Choose Well ….

How To Meditate Simply and Easily.
Thursday, August 6th, 2009Excerpt from a Esther and Jerry Hicks workshop in Ashland, OR on Tuesday, May 16th, 2000. Esther and Jerry Hicks are well know for their work in Deliberate Intention and Deliberate Attraction with Abraham.
Here is the process of meditation that if we were in your physical places we would utilize: Every day for 10 or 15 minutes, and not for much more than that, we would sit quietly by ourselves somewhere. Maybe under a tree, maybe in our car, maybe in the bathroom, someplace where we would not be interrupted.
We would do our best to shut down our physical senses. In other words, we would draw the curtains if it is bright. We would close our eyes. We would put ourselves in a place where there is not much sound. We really would not even play music. Some people play music, but even that can be distracting in nature. Something like the ticking of a clock, or the dripping of a faucet, or the trickling of a waterfall, something of that nature can be very soothing. And some music falls into that same category. But it must be something that does not stimulate thought.
And we would focus inward, even on our breathing. We would be consciously aware of air in, and we would be consciously aware of air out. We would concentrate on long breaths in, and we would concentrate on long breaths out. We would breathe air in, and when we thought it was all our lungs would hold, we would bring still more in. And when we think it is still all our lungs could hold we would breathe more air in. And then, at a place of full expansion of lungs, we would take a long, slow, delicious time to let the air out. And our intention would be nothing more than being in this moment, and being consciously aware of breathing. We would let it be our fullest responsibility. Not fixing breakfast, not combing hair, not wondering how someone is doing, not thinking about yesterday, not worrying about tomorrow, not focusing on anything in this moment except air in, and air out.
Now, during this process, within 2 or 3 days of doing it, you’re going to begin to feel a detachment from your physical experience. A very common thing that you will feel is a sort of numbing sensation. Some describe that they cannot tell their toe from their nose. Some, if their eyes are closed, and we recommend that, may begin to see movement of light around under their eyelids, or even flashes of color.
There is no right or wrong in this process of meditation. There is nothing that you should be reaching for. This is a state of allowing. This is a state where, for just a few moments, you stop running the show. You stop trying to make anything happen. This is your time of allowing. This is your time when you are saying unto your maker, unto your Source Energy, unto your Inner Being, unto your God… whatever you’re wanting to call it, this is your time of saying, “Here I be, in a state of allowing.” And what am I allowing? I’m allowing Source Energy to flow purely through me.
15 minutes a day of that effort will change your life. Because it will put you in the state of allowing the Energy that is natural to you to flow. You’ll feel better in the moment. You’ll feel more energized when you come out of it.
You may spend 14 minutes before you achieve any state of detachment. You might not ever be consciously aware that you’ve achieved any state of detachment. It doesn’t matter, you are making enormous progress as you allow yourself to be.
A big benefit that you’ll notice, right away, is that things that you’ve been wanting will begin showing up. “Now, why is this? Abraham, I didn’t sit and intend. I didn’t sit and set goals. I didn’t sit and clarify what I want. I didn’t tell the Universe what I wanted. How come 15 minutes of just being will set those kinds of things in motion?” Because it has always been, ask and it is given. It has never been “ask and do something right and it is given”. It has never been “ask and get worthy”. It is ask and allow. Ask and allow.
And so, every day, you’ve been asking. You’ve been launching all kinds of intentions. You cannot live in your physical body, you cannot be part of this physical environment without endless desires being born within you. And as these desires are being born within you, the Universe is answering them. And now, because of your 15 minutes of allowing, whether you were petting the cat, or practicing your breathing, whether you were listening to a waterfall or listening to happy music, or whether you were on a rampage of appreciation… what happened, for that time of allowing, is, you set up within your vibrational auric field a vibration that, for the time, was not in the state of resisting the things that you’ve been asking for. And progress is made in that time.
More than Inspiration and Perspiration!
Monday, August 3rd, 2009I’ve talked about inspiration, intention being in the moment and this video says so much more than I can write about. I hope you enjoy the video and more importantly receive a message that is just for you. Dawn

Intention: What is your Intention?
Friday, July 24th, 2009I find that many times my intention is not always inline with who I am and what I want to attract. I find myself saying I want this I want that and then I’m putting out the intention of what I want and end up attracting what I don’t’ want. Oooopsssss! Ouch!
So what I’ve learned and still learning is that my wants can be wants forever. Just because I want something it doesn’t mean I’ll get it. Wishing and hoping is just that – wishing and hoping. In other words I can want a brand new Jag and lay around thinking about it and it’s just going to show up, NOT. What is my intention to desiring and acquiring that Ice Blue with white leather interior XK jag? Notice the difference from just wanting a Jag to the color and type of Jag I am getting. The more detailed and feelings I connect with my desired outcome, whatever it is, an item, more clients or anything, it’s in the details that are put into place that assist me in my intention to attracting what I require to attain my desired outcome.
If my intention is very clear on what I’m desiring in my life I will attract things into my life that will assist me in bringing my intentions into reality. What starts the ball rolling is that I am thinking from the end. When I have a specific, very specific, desire I start thinking about how it would FEEL to have the outcome as if it was in my possession now. By doing this I am automatically taking the steps necessary to achieve my goal. I will make decisions that have the end results in mind which keeps me moving towards my goal at all times. (I’ll talk more about this later in the next blog post.)
EX: Last night I went to a sweat lodge as an official apprentice as a fire tender. I was excited and passionate about fire tending that it was written on every calendar and all I could think about until the night arrived. I showed up early ready for my new experience and connected with the area and surroundings of the sweat lodge in silence. I already knew in my heart and mind how things were going to play out. I had a picture of how I would place the wood, the rocks and everything that went along with fire tending.
When my mentor arrived I was ready. First thing he says you will observe tonight and I was like _ “I did that last time – OK I understand I am here to learn and you are my teacher and I will observe” Jose looked at me turned closed his eyes and shortly said “OK, it is called to me that you participate in this ceremony” ((In my mind I’m like YES-YES!) but kept my coooool. ))
As things progressed in the early part of the preparation he turned and looked at me and said “This is your fire this is your lodge tonight you as the fire tender, you will work with the chief and I will assist and advise you along the way” WOW, how cool was that – My intention was there and I attracted what I desired without asking. (I did ask all month with my visual and heartfelt intention to attracting what I desired.) I followed Jose’s direction and he himself put me where I saw myself for the entire prior month as Fire Tender. My intention attracted my desired outcome.
Was everything perfect and did I remember everything from a prior lesson and from observing other fires before? NO! But I became a Fire Tender last night as I had seen myself so many times in the last month. I learned a lot and have a lot more to learn and totally ready to embrace it all.
This works in every aspect of your life in every intention you have. The questions is – Do you believe in your desired outcome and do you really FEEL it as in your possession today, already here and already yours? Following your heart is following your spirit and when you do that your intentions will attract more of what you want rather than what you don’t want.
What is your Intention? What will you attract?
Who I Hang With Makes A Huge Difference!
Friday, July 10th, 2009Who I hang around influences everything including the choices I make in my life. I’ve always heard that if you look at who you hang with you will see your reflection and where you are in life in accordance of your vibration to the Law of Attraction. We all have a tendency to flock to people in our own comfort zone and blend right in because if we move up the scale to a different realm we are uncomfortable. And I think that we can all be in any arena if we so choose.
Key Question: “Who am I choosing to hang around?”.
Two weeks ago I met a couple at a “Law of Attraction” workshop and we hit it off right from the start. I was immediately invited to their four day Fourth of July party. This party included live music, natural healing, higher consciousness on twenty acres of beautiful property not far from the Smoky Mountains.
I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect so I went without any expectations and open to allow the weekend to unfold by itself. That is exactly how I enjoyed every experience. The positive energy was at such a high level that my spirit lifted and resonated so well being in connection with like minded individuals. People came from four surrounding states and I made many new wonderful friends. The experience was awesome and so uplifting and assisted me in so many ways that I feel so blessed and so grateful to have attracted this into my life.
Lately, I had been saying to myself, I’m looking to attract people who are more positive and like mind from the stand point of awareness, moving forward, life’s path and so on. I mentioned it a couple of time to a few people and my co-creator the universe was listening and so was I, because I went to the meeting (I almost didn’t) and you know the rest of the story.
Attracting what you want will always come to you so be careful for what you are asking for because the universe your co-creator is always listening. Life long process so enjoy every minute of the journey even when you don’t think you can.
More Then I Expected!
Saturday, June 27th, 2009I was so geared up for this Saturday. I don’t know why but I could feel that I was excited about this Saturday in particular because I planned on going to a Sweat Lodge and connect with others who share a lot of the same positive energy. I’ve done seats before but somehow I felt this one to be different. And Yes, different if was. Got there and the fire was just being put together (that takes at least 1 ½ hrs.) and as I sat there observing everything along with more and more people arriving and I knew we could put 35 in on lodge secession but people kept coming.
So many people showed up that there were 2 lodges back to back in order for everyone to participate. So, I wanted to go in the first lodge. Intention -oops I was saying I don’t want to be in the second lodge. Well as attraction has it – I was in two – because I focused on what I didn’t want rather than on what I wanted. Ok, this will be a lesson on patience this could be a good thing.
Myself and a young man decided to go do some breathing exercises to fill in the time and do something constructive for ourselves. We go so into this breathing exercise and got down to the heart of releasing what was blocking our progresses and in taking what we desired that we were late for the lodge.
Yes, late by two rounds. There are four rounds in a sweat lodge. The thing is all was perfect. Perfect in it’s own right we were right where we were suppose to be at each given moment and when we entered the lodge after permission from the pourer (chief) she said we now have our balance you are here at the right time.
It was perfect and so was the remainder of the day as it unfolded for all of us at the center and how my day continued in flow with each thing in place. I learned about allowing again today but from a different aspect and experience.
People say just allow. Ok, what does that mean just allow. You ask the question what does allowing mean and you get “just allow”. Boy is that really clear – LOL.
So, what is it?
Well, today I believe I experienced the definition of allowing by feeling every moment of a situation by just releasing all thought about how things should or shouldn‘t be. Allowing is letting go; what I mean is allow WITHOUT any doubt whatsoever in any given moment.
Easier said than done but today was a perfect example by letting all things just happen in its own law of perfection. I released any anxiety; my fear or worry about how something should happen and just let things flow.
Synergy: flow at its highest level and the fact that I noticed and became aware of what I was feeling created the beauty of experiencing each moment in its entirety. As the day continued I was in the space to be in a space to allow.
Hello world!
Monday, June 22nd, 2009Hello World I guess that says it all!
This is my first comment and though I usually have a lot to say I’m finding this a little bit different. You see I would much rather talk than sit and write my thoughts other than my journaling but my intention is to put it out there. Wherever there is!
So, today became a turning point in this adventure totally out of my comfort zone (Yeah). I’ve thought about a blog but than it was what would I say and what would it mean to me or anyone else. Well that is a question I’ll have to allow to unfold for itself and we’ll see where it leads us.
I woke up this morning with a feeling of loss, my strength lowered to pain and as I quickly became aware of my thoughts the gifts that surround me awakened from within to remind me of the abundance that is all around me.
Gratitude is my place in the sun today. I changed my thoughts which has now changed my day and I am so grateful for today.
