"Get your mind right!" How do you do this? This is a question asked by many. There were often times when I wanted someone to just give me all the answers to "how I should live my life." After almost 40 years, it donned on me that what I was struggling for was a place in this world where I had a comfortable fit. The saying, "Get in where you fit in!" comes to mind. The answer became suddenly clear just like Dorothy clicking her heels in the last few minutes of The Wizard of Oz - I am already there!
Our experiences may be difficult at times, but they are necessary for shaping our lives. I wish I was like Glenda the good witch. I could wave my wand and give you all the answers to why you experience difficult times. While I don't have any magical devices to wish all the hurt and pain that has entered your life away. I do have a simple thought - "Change your mind to change your life."
Every aspect of your life starts with your mindset. Like the saying goes, "If you think you can or can't - you're right!" At the tender age of five, my mother took my siblings and myself out to the back yard near our old garage and we had a ceremonial burial of the word CAN'T! This was a forbidden word in our home. We were taught that we could do anything that we "set our minds" to do. Although these words may have not been uttered from my mouth, my mind always sabotaged my steps to getting towards my greater good.
Now, I am enjoying transforming my mind to believing that anything and everything is possible. One hundred years ago, people would have laughed at you if you would have told them that a day would come when they would be able to communicate to people around the world in a matter of seconds with a simple E-mail. But here we are today, shuttling information back and forth in a matter of nano-seconds. This all started in some one's mind. So why is it so far fetched to believe that every day can be a happy day. Why can't you believe you can achieve any dream?
Today, let go of your fear and beliefs of yesterday. Start right now with reprogramming your mind to achieve your wildest dreams. Look forward to that African safari or building your dream home. Begin today with starting your own business or writing your book. Move all the "False Evidence Appearing Real" out of your mind and begin to live your greatest life!
GET YOUR MIND RIGHT!!!!!!
Peace and Blessings

Forgiveness the Gift that keeps on Giving
I once heard someone say that "Unforgiveness is like taking poison and expecting the other person to die." Why are we so bent on keeping people on the eternal hook of public opinion? Is it really any of our business about their transgressions?
Today I encourage you to let go of the past hurts and realize that people do things that hurt others for many reasons. To say that they are right in their display of judgement lacking skills, would totally be irresponsible. However, when do we remove the "Scarlett Letter" of shame?
I have done my part in hurting others and being hurt due to lack of understanding and immaturity. However, there was a pivotal moment when I realized that letting go of all the hurt was the only way to release myself of the self-deprecating hurt that propelled within me. As I sat and wrote, I began to regain a sense of who I truly am. I was able to let go of the undeserving bitterness and pain.
You must be thinking that "it's easier said than done." Actually, the hard part was staying unforgiving. Once I made up my mind to let go and let God, everything became easy again for me. So do yourself a favor and act on forgiveness.
