Christmas Year Round?

I found an awesome Christmas decoration yesterday, but it's not going on my tree, it's going in my office!

It is so much fun!

I put it in my peg board for now, but I'm sure I'll find a happy home for it soon.

I may just have to put up another couple of hooks on my door.  Right now I have my OM and my Angel.  :)

What To Do When You Don’t Know What To Do

So many times in our lives, we think we are “on our way”. Things are moving. We are moving.

Then, all of the sudden, things stop!

Where did my sense of direction go? Why don’t I know what to do? There has to be SOMETHING for me to do! Did I lose my purpose? Was I on the wrong track? What happened?!

A sense of panic comes in. When there is no action, we feel lost and perhaps even stupid or useless.

Our River of Life has reached a calm pool, and we’re busy freaking out! Sails go up and down. The Paddles come out, and we paddle on this side and that. New fangled motors are tested. Nothing moves. It’s like there’s an anchor on the boat, and we can’t see the chain to pull it up.

These moments, too, are opportunities. Those calm pools along the River of Your Life are equally as important and valuable. Life should not be white water rafting all the way through!

When we are in action, we feel useful and on purpose. These times of in-action are times when we can redefine and rebalance. They are times to refuel and rejuvenate.

The question becomes, “What do we do when we have nothing to do?”

Here are some places you can explore when you’ve reached one of those calm pools in Your River of Life.

Trust.

These silent times are exactly perfect too. What if you trusted that The Universe has everything under control?

Let’s take the analogy of planting and growing a garden. You prepare the soil by adding nutrients, clearing away the weeds, and making the rows or raised beds to plant your seeds. You pick the seeds you want to plant. A plan is made for which vegetables go where. The dirt is parted, and the seeds sprinkled. You gently cover over the seeds and begin to water.

For the next while, all you need to do is water, and pull the occasional weed that pops up. You don’t see any action or movement. Things are quiet for the time being, and yet, beneath the surface there are all kinds of unseen action!

The seed expands and pops open. A tiny little root begins to squirm its way through the dirt, sucking up all the incredible resources you worked into the soil, and drinking the life-giving water. Before long, its fingers begin stretching up, building up strength to pop through the surface and peak out at the sunlight.

Can you Trust that in these times of silence that the seeds you’ve planted with your thoughts are germinating like the seeds in your garden? Or will you rush around uncovering your seeds daily to see if they are growing, and preventing them from growing?

Trust that all is well. Gently water your seeds, and pull the occasional weed. Enjoy the sunshine and trust. The Universe does not stop he growth of the seeds in the Garden, and it does not stop the growth of the seeds you have planted either.

Nourish.

Use these times as opportunities to take good care of You.

Chances are, when things were moving you were so busy you were not doing those small things that keep you rejuvenated. “I don’t have time,” is often how you would put yourself off. Things were moving! How could you have time to exercise, eat right, or meditate?

As with the garden, those busy times were important, and those times of watering and patiently waiting are equally important.

These can be times to set up new habits of self-care. Here are some new habits you can add to your daily routine.

Meditation. Meditation does not need to take a full hour of your time. It can be as simple as sitting quietly for 5 minutes, and you can add an extra 5 minutes into your shower. There are many forms of active meditations, including walking meditations. Puzzles are wonderful form of meditation. Your focus is only on the puzzle, and all other thoughts move into the background.

Journaling. Journaling can be as simple as writing 5 gratitudes per day. You can write your intentions or desires. Write your joyful experiences. Gather affirmations and quotes that inspire you. Joy Journaling is a fun and creative way to use your Journal.

Exercise. This can be as simple as adding in a 10-30 minute walk each day. There are so many fun and creative ways to exercise. There are a variety dance classes offered. Gyms are offering cycling, kick boxing and much more. You can take up a martial art. There are also creative blendings of exercise forms being offered, such as Nia. Take this time to sample a few until you find one that is fun for you.

Nutrition. When you have more time available, you can get creative with your eating. You do not need to cook all day to get a quality meal. Sometimes taking the time to explore your grocery store or specialty shops in your neighbourhood can open up new creativity in your kitchen. Explore your library or local book store for cooking ideas. Take this time to find some quick and easy recipes you enjoy so when things do get moving again, you’re ready!

Life is like a River. There are times when the waters are flowing with speed, and there are other times where we come into the calm pools and can see the fish and plants growing on the bottom. Take the time to look into the pools. It’s so much more enjoyable than franticly paddling your canoe and missing all the beauty and joy.

Pull your paddle back in the boat. Stretch back and enjoy the sunshine and fresh air. The River will speed up soon enough, and when it does, you’ll be full of energy and ready to go!

Life is Good

Last night was the “Old Fashioned Christmas” festivities here in town. They light the Christmas Tree downtown. There was a bonfire. We went on the Wagon Ride around town. Those Clydesdale Horses are HUGE! There was Beef on a Bun. The boys really enjoyed that. It’s a good way to raise funds for the town’s parks. Christmas Music was playing loud enough you could here it no matter where you were downtown. (It’s a small downtown. :-)

All the stores were open late, and everyone had treats, and some kind of draw to enter your name into. There were sales on. I went back out after to do some shopping. :-D

It was an evening of complete Joy! My husband and I sat down after the evening, and looked back not only over the evening, but over the past four years. 4 years ago our life was upside down, and we could not see how we were ever going to get out of the situation we were in.

4 years later, our lives have taken a 540 degree flip. (Yeah…it feels like we’ve flipped over a few times.) We are in a small community filled with kind people. We love our home. Plurk is full of joy and satisfaction. Our son is thriving in the school he’s in. Our health is fantastic. We have great friends. As I write this I feel so overwhelmed with gratitude for all the Universe has brought me.

Ahhhhh….Life is Good.

It’s funny. When we first moved here, one of the people we met always said that. He still says it. “Life is Good.” Now I’m saying it! Guess it’s contagious.

"We become what we think about."

Toastmasters, Goals and Decisions

It’s the last week of October, and while we’ve had some snow, the ground is wonderfully brown. Autumn is certainly the season of change, and though I’m not a winter girl, I do enjoy the crisp freshness of the autumn air.

I’ve set some goals to plurk with over the cooler months. I’m a member of Toastmasters. I have been for two years. I had only completed 3 of my 10 manual speeches during that first two years. I can list many reasons why I didn’t achieve more during those two years. They were busy time. In truth, the only reason I never achieved more is because I never decided to achieve more. I was not setting a stronger goal, just in case I didn’t achieve it. I knew it was going to be busy.

With all the changes that have been afoot in my life I’ve been able to make some wonderfully powerful observations about myself. One of them was that the minute I make a decision, the rest falls into place. I’ve made the decision to achieve Competent Communicator BEFORE June 2009. I completed my 4^th speech last week. I have 6 more speeches to go, and 7 months to get them done. These are still busy times, AND I’ve made the Decision.

Have you ever put off a decision regarding your goals because you needed more information?

Chances are the information you’re looking for will show up the minute you make a decision.

Is there a goal decision you’ve been waiting on? What if you made the decision to go for it?

What if you could get coaching, and strengthen your Inner Coach at the same time?

http://www.joymadeeasy.com

Joy Made Easy Intensive starts November 17^th. Set your 15 minute application consultation by emailing brandie@welcomechanges.com today! Put JME Application in the subject line.

***

Getting my Toastmasters CC designation isn’t the only decision I’ve made! 28 days and counting! Keep your eyes open for something special happening November 24^th.

Dealing with Whatever Comes

"When you know that you're capable of dealing with whatever comes, you have the only security the world has to offer." ~ Harry Browne

It’s not the stuff that happens that matters. It’s what you do with the stuff that happens that matters. Managing YOU through the stuff includes managing your energy, your emotions, managing your mind and managing your body. Have I told you that I think all managers should have coaching skills?

What if you coached you through the stuff that happens? Be coached and learn how to self-coach. http://www.joymadeeasy.com

Joy Made Easy starts November 17^th. Don’t wait to reserve your spot! http://www.joymadeeasy.com

My poor little dude. Two of our fish died yesterday. We’re not sure why. Our little guy is 7, and he was so incredibly devastated. We were all sad yesterday. We don’t like to see our little guy so sad. I held him in my arms as he was overwhelmed with sobs.

Being a parent is one of the most rewarding and challenging jobs there is. What do you say when they are so sad? How do you explain that death is a natural part of life?

He told me he doesn’t like it when anything dies…even it it’s something that hurt him. When do they become conscious of what death is? He wanted to flush his fish when they died when he was 3.

All I could do is share that I understood, and it was OK for him to feel sad. Then I asked him if we should ask God to help his heart to feel better. He said yes, and a couple of minutes later he was quietly sitting in my arms.

*sigh*

It’s a reflective day today for me.

I’m grateful for my wonderful little angel who still needs mommy-hugs.

Run Stress Out of Town! Reclaim the Keys to Your City.

“Stress is not happening because your job is difficult. It is happening because you are incapable of handling your own systems. You don’t know how to manage your body or your mind or your emotions or your energies. If you know that, then nothing is stressful because you are no longer hijacked by external situations” ~ Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev

STRESS! It’s gripped the world. It’s gripped many of us! It’s become so natural that we don’t know what life is like without stress.

If they don’t have a crisis, they’ll make one.

The truth is, and though we don’t like to admit it, we’re pretty much all like that. We’ve gotten so use to feeling the stress in our bodies that when it’s not there we feel odd or “not quite right”. We will unconsciously go on the hunt for something to stress about so or bodies can go back to feeling “normal”.

Stress Management courses are offered by our employers. They are written about in magazines. Stress Management is discussed on TV and all over the internet.

The truth is you don’t have to be stressed. It is not your natural state.

Peace is YOUR natural state.

You’ve been out of this place of peace for so long now that you’ve forgotten.

What if you could get back to Peace, even when things don’t seem to be working the way you think they should be working?

What if you could feel good ALWAYS despite appearances?

It’s time to put the REAL Manager in charge of your life. It’s time to put YOU in charge of your life.

Your body isn’t the manager. Your mind isn’t the manager. Your emotions and Energy are not the managers either.

These are each equally important parts of you, however they are all intended to be managed by Your Spirit. They are the team Your Spirit leads through this experience we call Life!

How would your life change if Your Spirit managed your life experience?

Would Your Spirit choose to sit on the couch in front of the TV half-sleeping through life? Who do you think is managing that choice?

Would Your Spirit choose the same job, the same friends, the same recreational activities, the same distractions?

What activities would Your Spirit give your body? What direction would Your Spirit guide your mind? How would Your Spirit use your Energy? What different emotions would you experience if your Spirit guided your Body, Mind and Energy?

These are all important questions to ask yourself, especially if you feel your life is being managed by anyone or anything other than You.

Your Spirit will ALWAYS choose that which serves you. Your Spirit will ALWAYS love you and keep you safe.

Give Your Spirit the Keys to Your City. Leave stress at the gate, and begin living in your natural state of Peace once again.

Radio, Golf and Me

The past couple of days have been really wonderful. 

Tuesday's special guest on Welcome Changes Radio was Dr. Michael Norwood.  What an awesome conversation we had!  The one-hour show ran over an extra 15 minutes.  We played with his process called the "One Minute Miracle" on a situation I'm plurking with.  I got some valuable insight from the discussion.  The show is well worth downloading and listening to.

Yesterday (Wednesday) I was Kimberly Marooney's special guest for her show, Soul Connections.  We talked about the value of Welcoming Change, beliefs, and a whole lot more.  I'll be back on her show again in July to continue our conversation.  Be sure to stop by and listen to the show!

Today I had my second Golf lesson.  I really enjoy golf, but my limited skill has totally holding me back.  I was thrilled when my son and husband gave me lessons for Mother's Day!  I've already noticed improvement in my swing.  What really surprised me is some of the life lessons I observed with the golf lesson. 

Slow on the up swing ~ This reminds me of preparation, particularly vision.  You don't want to rush it so you truly gain clarity.

Follow Through ~ I noticed how stiff I was, and how I didn't follow through after the swing.  I'd stop about 1/2 way up.  How often do we get stiff and not completely follow through on things out of fear?  Do we play full out, or are we tight and restricting?

They were interesting observations for me.

As for my physical activity goals, I didn't get my walking in.  *sigh*  The hour on the driving range today was excellent additional activity.  I worked out 3 times already this week (tomorrow makes 4), which is good.  I drank my water yesterday, but not today.  I still have a couple of hours left, so I'm going to get as much in as I possibly can during that time.

To fill my well I actually spent about 2 hours out in the sun pulling weeds in my front flower bed.  I found it to be a wonderful active meditation of sorts.  I spent very little time thinking about past or future events, though little sparks of inspiration did show up.  It was great to enjoy the sun and stick my fingers in the dirt.  Grounding and revitalizing.

That's it for today!  Next Tuesday evening I'll be updating you on my measurements again.

Progress Report on Velma Gallant Exposed, Week 1

Week one is complete! 

I did 3 of my 4 workouts.  My legs were still sore up until Saturday!  This week I started my workouts on Monday, so I can have a break on Wednesday and put 2 full days between leg workouts.  This should prevent this from happening again.

I did OK with water.  There is definitely some room for improvement.  I ate well, though I did have a couple of chocolate chip cookies for desert every once in a while!  The boys ate them quickly, so they're gone for now.

I did take my Bios Life Slim regularly, with no missed days.  I did have one day where I almost forgot at supper, so there wasn't the full 10-15 minutes before I ate.

Some things I observed over this week.  I had to decrease my portion size just a bit.  I was so stuffed after supper with my regular portion size!  I took me 3 days to figure out all I had to do was make the portions slightly smaller and I'd feel fine.

I was looking in the mirror this morning thinking I looked a little slimmier, but figured it was just my excitement and I was making things up.

So...the measurements happened just 20 minutes ago, and I was surprised!  It really isn't that much, but it is something!

My total inches are 163, which is down 2.5 inches from last week.  I lost a 1/2 inch from my neck, waist, hips and my right thigh.  (Did the measurements exactly the same as last time.)  3/4 of an inch from my chest (go figure), and gain 1/4 inch on my arms.  (I'm working on my pipes...LOL.)

Not bad!  I'm excited to see what happens after one more week!

So even without increasing my activity, or consciously decreasing my portion size, I've seen progress.

My intention is to get the full 4 workouts in this week, at least 2 walks with my Active Meditation, and continue with the conscious eating.  I'm going to do better with my water too.

Remember, if you want to play with me on this, send me that email with EXPOSE in the subject line.  velma AT welcomechanges DOT com.

If you choose to take my recommendations, we'll set you up and get your support system in place!

Dream BIG(GER)!

Velma Gallant Exposed!

Yesterday in my newsletter I shared that I was going for it and making a commitment.  My commitment is more in the form of a Declaration. 

I'm exposing it all!  Well...you'll see.  Just keep reading.

I have set a 90 day challenge for myself, and I'll be putting my progress...my ups and downs...all on here for everyone to see.

Laying the Foundation

Let me share with you some of where I am at right now before I get to the goal, and the Expose.

I'm an almost 42 year old Mom of an almost 7 year old boy.  I've been a vegetarian for 19 months now.  I weight lift 3-4 times per week, though not consistently.  I drink 8-9 glasses of water with reasonable consistency.  I don't eat much fast food.  Maybe one veggie burger at A&W every six months.  I treat myself to a Dairy Queen cone maybe twice a month.  We eat at restaurants probably 4 times per month.  I rarely eat desert at the restaurant.

I have about 3-4 cups of coffee per day Monday-Friday.  I have 1 can of pop about every two months or so.  I drink socially perhaps once every 3-4 months.

Over the period of time from September 2006 (when I switched to vegetarian eating) to around September 2007 I stopped stepping on the scale, and went from a size 14 down to a size 11.  I was pretty darn proud of myself.  I did moderate exercise, ate well, and visualized regularly.

Since September 2007, I'm still wearing size 11, so I have been able to maintain what I achieved quite effortlessly.

I use Quadplex protein in my morning smoothie, along with LiFibre.  I'll share the recipe in another post.

I was taking Bios Life Complete too.  My Dad died of a heart attack at the age of 56, and there is a history of strokes and diabetes in my family as well.  Heart health is important to me.

I believe the changes I made also contributed to the fact that I rarely get sick anymore, and when I do happen to catch a cold, it only last for a couple of days.  (I kick it in the butt with natural remedies.  :-D )

The thing is, while I love my body and take good care of it, I would absolutely LOVE to fit into a size 8 again.  That's the reason for this Expose.

The Goal

To fit into size 8 clothing again!

I intend to drop from my present size of 11 to a size 8 in 90 days through increased activity, conscious eating and nutritional supplementation.

The Expose

My measurements totalled 165.5 inches.  This included my Neck, Chest, Arm, Waist, Hips, Thigh.  I wasn't sure if I should be measuring both arms and thighs and including them in the inches, so I just measured my right arm and thigh.  I'll use the same arm and thigh all the way through as I measure my progress.

(Yeah...I've been delaying sharing the pictures.  LOL)

UGH!  Here we go!

These pictures were taken the evening of May 20th.  My hubby took them and I groaned.  (That mark on my leg is my dolphin and tropical island tattoo.  :-) )

In order to map your way towards your goals, you need to know where you are at.  This is where I am at.

The Vision

After you look at where you are at, you need to know where you are going.  This allows you to map your way between the two points.

"EEEEEE! They fit!"  The zipper came up and the button closed, and I didn't have to hold my breath or anything!

I just put on the "skinny jeans" I've been hanging onto since before I got married knowing that one day I'd fit into them again.  I don't care that they are out of fashion already!  I can fit in them again!

(Turning around so I can look at my backside in the mirror.)

Oh yeah!  Too bad they are not in fashion any more!  LOL!

That's okay.  It's a great excuse to go SHOPPING!  I am going to have so much fun trying on clothes!  I'm going to have to bring one of my girlfriends with me.  I'm not going to torture myself and the boys and make them come along for this adventure.  LOL  They'll be happier with a little fashion show when I get back anyway.

The Plan

I am already working out 3-4 times per week, so to amp it up just a bit I'll be weight lifting 4 times per week consistently.  2 days on upper body and 2 days on lower body.

I will also be including 20 minutes of walking 3 times per week using my active meditation.

I am continuing with the morning shakes (recipe to posted separately), and the quality food.  I still eat seafood, some dairy and eggs.  I'm making sure I get protein with each meal.

The nutritional supplementation is the Quadplex protein and LiFibre in my shakes.  I'm also changing from Bioslife Complete to Bioslife Slim.  Bioslife Slim re-balances the Leptin Hormone, which regulates our hungry and full receptors.  I'm basically re-teaching my body how to turn fat.  It will also make sure I get the proper Vitamin B's that some vegetarians are short on as well.

The Support

I have a few support mechanisms in place.  I've started a journal.  I'll be keeping track of my exercise, nutrition, and the mental/spiritual aspects as well.

I'm also inviting YOU to come play with me!  If you're ready, like me, to claim your Ideal Body, I'll spend 30 minutes with you on goal setting and outlining your action plan of activity, nutrition and supplementation.  If you accept my recommendations, you'll have access to a private journal to record your progress.  No, you don't have to post your pictures online like I did (unless you want to).  You'll also get my new Active Meditation now, before it's official release, and you'll be able to help me name it too!

All YOU have to do is send me an email at Velma AT welcomechanges DOT com with "EXPOSE" in the subject line.  Include your daytime phone number, a short bit about yourself and your goal.

Let's succeed together!

Conscious Observation: Upgrading my Label-Maker

It would seem to me that a great awareness I’ve moved into is that I can choose how I label things:  my thoughts, experiences, observations--basically everything.

It’s natural, as a human, to label. It’s how we catalogue the things we see, experience, think, etc., is with a label. It allows us to draw on the filing cabinet of our mind and pull information out and compare it to this new thing, thought or experience.

I am aware that my “label-maker” has some ready-made labels that have come about because of my experiences today. I am aware that I can choose differently.

I have been creating jewellery over the past few months. They have included crystal beads, and beads made of other materials. I’ve even created beads of my own as well. I’ve been creating bracelets, some necklaces and earrings.  I've enjoyed the creating, and the insights that have come with it.

With this creative expression, I’ve been experiencing it differently from what I experienced before. I’ve been more conscious about the feeling while creating. Rather than labelling the creation with the types of beads I was putting in there, I noticed my feelings as I was picking things up and putting them together on my beading board.

"Yes these feel good together. No, this isn’t quite right. That feels better."

Once the creation was complete, I would run up to my office and get my reference books out and look up the properties of the crystals. I was continuously amazed at how beautifully the crystals I had “felt” together actually fit beautifully together.

There were more powerful observations within this creative period as well. There were pieces that broke, or were lost. I was able to observe my reactions to these experiences as well. Within moments, the consciousness that arose was that I have the ability to create, un-create and create again. If something moved on from me, it was okay. There is always something new to create. My attachment to the “thing” diminished. It again was fascinating to observe this.

It makes me wonder, as I move through this series of conscious moments, the value in labelling according to feelings rather than my ready-made labels from my past experiences.

How can labelling things according to feeling change the experience?  What if I did this through other areas of my life?  How would the experience change?

Fascinating stuff.

It Happens Every 14 Secs!

**I made a commitment to make a difference in the world a long time ago.  I think this book is doing some very important world-level work, which is why I made the commitment to support it.**

IT HAPPENS EVERY 14 SECS!

THE LARGEST GLOBAL DISASTER
YOU NEVER HEARD OF

Aids Orphans Rising 

• • Every 14 seconds another child becomes the next AIDS orphan. By 2010, just 2 years from now, there will be 25 million AIDS orphans.
• • The death of parents from AIDS leaves behind little children, usually four or five of them who desperately want to stay together as a family - as Child Headed Households.

Get the book --AIDS Orphans Rising-- the one-of-a-kind interactive guide that identifies BOTH the problem and the solutions.  The book is now 25% off – for as little as $11.96, you can help this very important cause.

You can get it at: www.aidsorphansrising.org/bonuses.html and if you purchase today (TUES, FEB. 19, 2008), you will receive thousands of dollars worth of free bonuses.

Before you rush out to get the book today from www.aidsorphansrising.org/bonuses.html or from www.amazon.com let's look at why AIDS Orphans Rising is important to you.

AIDS ORPHANS RISING
by Sr. Mary Elizabeth Lloyd, MPF

      “Many laughed when I said that we discovered a way for AIDS Orphans to go to school and run a profitable business, until they saw the children’s profit intake!

  Take a few minutes to read Aids Orphans Rising and you will learn how your name can be synonymous with AIDS orphans succeeding.

     Isn’t it unbelievable that every 14 seconds new AIDS orphans are formed?  The death of parents from AIDS leaves behind little children
usually four or five of them who desperately want to stay together as a family.

  Picture watching your mother and father slowly die before your eyes leaving you to bury them and then having to raise and care for your younger brothers and sisters.

   AIDS Orphans Rising will take you through the daily lives of these children.  Is this a sad story? No, these children want to survive with
their siblings and have a great life.  This is not a story about the usual street kids sniffing glue and looking for their next hit.  This is a story of families that want to stay together, but they can’t do it alone.

What you will learn by reading AIDS Orphans Rising which you can get here:

www.aidsorphansrising.org/bonuses.html  

What is a Child-headed household?  How do they come to be?

Where do they live?

How you can help them get better housing today…

What do they eat?  How you can help them get enough to eat now…

How you might volunteer to help feed the little ones…

What type of education do they receive?

How you can help educate them, give them marketable skills, which will lift them from poverty, at this moment…

How you might volunteer to teach them…

All the statistics you could ever want about HIV/Aids…

What about their health and the health care they receive?

Adoption possibilities – domestic, foreign and from a distance…

All the references and internet sites you could ever want concerning HIV/Aids Orphans…

Volunteer opportunities, not only educational, feeding and health, but also just coming to be with the orphans and give them some needed love…

     Each chapter provides internet links to those working with these children as well as real solutions and actions that you can take now to help these children not only survive but succeed.

     By 2010, only 2 years from now, there will be 25 million AIDS orphans. Wow!  That would be 25,000,000 children under the age of 18 roaming the planet without guidance. Start reading AIDS Orphans Rising today so that you can begin helping the children today.  If good people like yourself do not reach out to these children so they can get love, an education and set up in some profitable enterprise, civilization will deteriorate to a point that you will not even recognize it.  Take action today to help these children succeed.”

I couldn't put it down...

In December, amidst the business of the season, I bought a series of books.  They ended up on my shelf with the rest of my library. 

"I'll get to it, one day."

I'm of the habit of buying books when I'm inspired, and reading them later, when I'm inspired.

Thursday I went to the mailbox.  A client sent me a gift, and it had arrived.  :)  (Thank you, J.  The gift was more than you'll know.)

Friday I had a conversation with another friend.  She had invited me to join in on a promotion in December. It ended up lost in the mountain of emails.

I went back and looked at the promo.  I looked at my bookshelf, and realized I had bought that book series. I looked at the gift.  It was the same book series.

There are no coincidences.

"I guess I'd better read it," was my thought.

So many reminders all at once.

Friday night I picked up the book.  I couldn't put it down.

I cooked supper, did laundry, played with my son, and cleaned house.  In between it all, at every opportunity, I picked up the book.

Tonight, Sunday night I completed the first of the three books.

I don't know how to explain what I received from this book.

I'm different, and I'm sure it's not over yet.  The many insights I've received are still sinking in.

Go take a look at this movie.

http://www.welcomechanges.com/recommends/9insights

If it moves you the way it moved me back in December, buy the book.

Just don't do like I did and let it sit on your shelf.

J., I'm truly grateful for the gift.  Thanks for being the messenger.

Do you Approve of YOU?

"We can secure other people's approval, if we do it right and try hard; but our own is worth a hundred of it." ~ Mark Twain

Did this quote caused you to look more closely?  Do you really approve of you?  Does someone else's approval mean more to you?  Do you seek others approval FIRST before your own?

How you feel about you, and how you treat you has more to do with your success than the approval of others.

More on Creativity and Problems

I shared Amanda with you for the first time back in December 2007, when she was a guest on Welcome Changes Radio.

We had an absolute blast, and it was a wonderful conversation!  I absolutely love Amanda.

I want to share her with you again.

http://www.welcomechanges.com/recommends/cps

We've talked, over the past few weeks, about problem solving, and creativity.  The articles
are posted at http://www.inspired-in-action.com if you need a refresher.

Amanda has just re-released her Creative Problem Solving package, and it's really really good!

http://www.welcomechanges.com/recommends/cps

I'll let her tell you how she's updated the program.

I wanted to share with you my experience of Amanda's program.

I fall asleep.  And I mean that in a good way!

Her voice is wonderful, and she brings me to a place of complete relaxation.  When I am complete with her mediation, I'm fully awake, and sooooo grounded.  It's a great feeling.  I feel like I can breathe again.

I don't know about you, but when contrast comes up, I get a shortness in my breath, and don't feel connected.

Amanda's meditation is one of the tools I tap into when that happens.  It brings me back into the now.  I open up to possibilities again.

Below is Amanda's note, so you can find out what she did to update it.

Are you ready for Creative problem solving?

It’s all finally finished!

We have got the Creative Problem Solver Relaxation now onto MP3 for easy listening.

And the workbook has been updated.

It has tons of ideas for solving any problem Quickly, easily and creatively.

I have also added in a bunch of exciting Bonuses for you.

The "Creative Problem Solver," is a no-stress, no effort solution to solving any problem.

It's "Designed to allow you to create the answers to the day to day challenges that occur in your life.

You can use this MP3 at bedtime, so that your creative mind can work on your problems for you, while you sleep.

You can also listen to it during the day if you need some creative inspiration for a project, or you would like to create an ideal outcome to an important task or simply to pamper yourself with some chill out and de-stress time."

Go and have a look

Creative Journaling

I teach about how to use your Journal as a Law of Attraction tool.  It's really easy, and it only takes 5 minutes a day.

I wrote in my Journal today.  I had something to "dump and flip" about.  I may be a coach, but that doesn't mean contrast doesn't show up for me too!

You can get the Introduction to Journal to Abundance journal for free by visiting http://www.welcomechanges.com by the way.

Anyway, back to the Dump and Flip.  (I explain the tool in more detail on the Journaling audio.)

I've been using a Journaling Software.  It makes it easy to journal daily on my computer.  I wrote my dumps, and then I wrote out my flips.  It definitely made me feel better, but I had to get rid of my dumps.  I just changed the font format to "strike through", and then I highlighted my flips in purple!  (I love purple.)  Easy!

Head on over and get your copy of Introduction to Journal to Abundance.  Next, head over to get a free 30 day trial of the Journal Software.  Try it out for just 30 days and I'll bet you notice changes...for the better!

Hello world!

Yeah!  Hello World!

I figured it was time to get a Velma Blog up!  My intention with this site is to blog more, and to share, in one place, all the things that I'm up to, whether it be websites, articles, programs, learning and growing.

I'm a work in progress, so this site can grow right along with me!

Dream BIG!
