Change Such a small word. Such a significant impact. Typically, people tend to shy away from change. They unknowingly cling to the familiarity of the status quo, even while longing for change. When it comes to manifesting a new reality people often desire profound external changes. In essence, that is what manifesting seems to be all about. One thing often missing from the equation, however, is that in order to include expansive new things in one’s reality, there first needs to be a shift within. This is the change that reaps the ultimate rewards. This is the change that is important. This is the change no one wants to entertain. Why then, when one perceives themselves to be doing absolutely everything correctly, do they never enjoy the fruits of their labour? Perhaps it is because there is something IN them that keeps the perceived dream external. It is helpful to become aware of what exists within your inner world, as it is directly reflected in your external world. To help drive this concept home, I was once asked what my initial response would be if I was told my dream home was ready to move into by tomorrow. It was suggested that I answer the question honestly. The FEELING I had was instant elation—then my ego consciousness kicked in and my thoughts turned to, “Oh! Well, now I have to do a major purge, and then pack and possibly sell off items in a hurry!” While the elation was powerful, the drudgery of what needed to be done before I took possession of the home was horrendous. To be honest, it shook me to my very core. How could I let the mundane details and the heaviness of ‘having’ to do that which I didn’t want to do override my happiness? It’s easy. The key is to be honest with yourself because noticing what surfaces is showing you exactly what is stopping you from realizing your desires. These subtle nuances in how you think, especially in times of knee-jerk reactions, are what you want to notice. Why? Because your nervous system has kicked into overdrive insistent upon finding the hiccup, the issue, the problem. This is what we call ‘conditioning’. It isn’t right nor wrong. It just is. Nothing is keeping your desires away from you because you do not deserve them; haven’t suffered enough to warrant them, or because you are not supposed to have them. It is all within you and that very powerful nervous system. What a relief to know that it can be calmed, soothed and taught that it is safe to experience something different.

Even in the simplest tasks of your day, the I AM is fully present. Washing dishes, folding laundry, driving to work — these are not distractions from your divinity. They are invitations to remember it. The key is this: be aware of being aware. In that awareness, you rise above the noise of “what is” and enter the calm, expansive truth of who you are. Stress fades. Worry dissolves. Anxiety loses its grip. You are not here to escape daily life. You are here to illuminate it. Speak it: I AM here. I AM aware. I AM the presence that transforms everything. As the saying goes---"Be IN the world but not OF it".

Everything you’re living right now is simply the echo of past thoughts and feelings. It’s old news. Your power is in this moment — in your ability to pivot from “what is” to a thought that feels even a little better. When you shift your focus, you shift your frequency. When you shift your frequency, reality rearranges. You are not bound by the manifestations in front of you. You are the I AM that calls the new into being. Choose the better-feeling thought. Choose the higher direction. Choose the You that is creating now.

I woke up agitated the other morning. With non productive thoughts running through…I noticed them, became fully aware that I was repeating the same story over and over and said quietly to myself-I AM only allowing joyful thoughts today. I AM only focusing on the joy each person I interact with or think about brings me. All day I felt lighter and would repeat these two mantras whenever I thought to. I had such an amazing day. It was effortless and filled with gratitude for the smallest of things. It was also my 21st wedding Anniversary and we went out for dinner and to the casino for some entertainment. We were only there for about 10 minutes both put a $50 in a penny machine and within that short time I was even more excited as I had just hit on a major jackpot! I have never won like that before and it was VERY exciting! We laughed and laughed and were both in shock at how quickly I had won! I believe by the awareness I had to shift my energy and holding those mantras I created this experience. I refused to see anything in a negative light and focused only on joyful thoughts, pivoted when necessary and carried on in this frequency all day! Sharing with all of you to remind and inspire you to do the same. Not for the money…haha…for the feeling of being able to sustain a higher vibration and knowing you are in charge of your focus. Because it feels sooooo good to have the awareness to shift when necessary, we can create a new mindset in each moment, what a wonderful thing it is to know it’s all up to us. New mantra -I AM winning at life!!! 💗

Abundance is not outside of you. It isn’t something you chase, earn, or persuade into being. Abundance is the I AM that breathes you. When you return to the present moment and loosen your grip on lack, you feel it rise—quietly, steadily—because it was never missing. Today, allow yourself to notice that everything you truly need flows from within first… and then appears without. You are the Source. You are the supply. You are the abundance you seek.
