There is POWER in you!

Over the past three years and especially the past three months, I have had this strange feeling that something is about to change. Coming from a very religious family, I have learned to keep my world very organized and structured. In some way this has been beneficial, however, in many other ways this has also been detrimental.

A few days ago feeling exhausted from moving into our new office, presenting at several conferences, teaching and seeing clients, I had what I call a "mini emotional pity party" (sorry Déjà - just need one, I know you will understand - LOL ). I was tired. I could literally feel the energy draining from my body...I needed a vacation. Being a woman wanting my words and actions to match (I can't tell my clients to be well if I'm not doing it); I took a week off to get back to the basics and personal truth.

I returned to work on Wednesday to find that my day had been scheduled with back-to-back clients until 9:30 p.m. This caused me to miss listening to the Prosperity Hormone call. Now, it's Thursday and boy what a day.

Side note: Don't laugh, but for some strange reason, I often receive major revelations when in the ladies room. Yesterday, I finally had a few moments to listen to the Prosperity Hormone call and was moved by the idea of connecting to energy. Well, while in the ladies room, I had an aha moment - a light bulb went on and I got a deeper revelation regarding God, the Universe and our energy, which caused me to rewrite one of my affirmations. This little experience set the foundation for the rest of the evening.

Last night, it was really hot! There was no way around it; I had to turn on the air-conditioner. After about an hour, all the lights in my community went out. It was pitch dark! I couldn't see anything.

With Jack by my side (my little hero), I slowly went in search of a flashlight. Finally finding my way to the "catch all drawer," I started feeling around for the flashlight. After a few moments, I picked up a light bulb and immediately it started to flicker as if it was going to turn on. "What?" I put the light bulb down and picked it up again...more flickering. Bewildered and in complete awe, I did this a few more times, just to make sure I wasn't crazy, and every time the light bulb flickered - weak, but flickering none-the-less.

I then cried out to God and said, "Ok God, I need light." Suddenly, car lights lit up my kitchen giving me enough time to see and grab the flashlight. As soon as my hand touched the flashlight, the car lights turned off. With flashlight in hand, I started lighting candles. A few moments later, my house was illuminating with a beautiful glow of amber and I'm safe from the darkness.

Deciding to just sit and enjoy the glow of the candles, Jack and I headed toward the living room and suddenly I felt the need to just stop and breathe. As if on cue, I promise, it felt as if my house was taking a breath with me and upon the exhale I strongly and loving heard, "Everything is going to be all right." Instantly, I knew this meant more than the lights being off. It was God's and the Universe's way of telling me that I was moving into the next level. Taking a breath and again, as if on cue, all the lights came on. I sat down for a few moments and just thought about what just happened.

I woke up this morning, grabbed the light bulb - just to see what would happen and NOTHING! I smiled!

I share this with you today in the hopes that while you are in the midst of doing life, dealing with challenges, and trying to stay above water, take many moments to become very conscious of and about God, the power of the Universe and this life-giving energy force that is already inside you.

When we make conscious, mindful decisions to be in whatever moment we're in, something good can always come forth. My flicker of light in that moment of darkness last night taught me a powerful lesson. When I am caught up in doing life rather than being and living life, I put forth weak energy. Although weak energy can make a difference, I wonder what would have happened to that light bulb if I had truly been connected to God, the energy of the Universe and my authentic self?

At this very moment, there is great POWER and energy inside you ready to give you what you need. Stop, close your eyes, center in, take a deep breath and say, "I trust God and the Universe to (fill in the blank)" and live outrageously well.

Thanks Ellie and Dr. Sugar for reminding me/us what energy can do for us, how to reconnect to it and let it light our path.

RISE,
