-- Editor's Note
After spending a couple of hours marketing our new product, The Miracle of U audio series, I rewarded myself with a walk…ahh the beauty of nature.
As I was walking along with my friend, I literally stumbled upon dozens of pennies that were partially buried in the ground. I started laughing and jumping with glee, “I’m rich, I’m rich!”
I know you are are probably thinking they are only pennies but none the less, it was still money! “I am a money magnet,” some would say!
I was watching just how quickly my thoughts were manifesting that day. I woke up saying:
” I have money. My business is thriving. I am peaceful and calm. All is well in my world. I market to just the right people in just the right way.”
And this is really what happened that day. I found money, received money, business picked up, I felt peaceful and calm…all really was well in my world. My assistant and I were meeting people where ever we went, we seemed to be the “attraction factor,” at least for a couple of hours…or maybe it was the CD set we were holding in our hands!
Do you see how the affirmations I began my day with, became my day? It really is that easy if you believe!
Where are you abundant in your life now?
What would you like to create more of?
Who do you want to be today? Abundantly wealthy?…!
What would that look like….Just let your imagination run wild!
Believing In Yourself
So what does it mean to really believe in yourself? To believe you are the “next best thing!” I think not! Believing in yourself is a humble knowing, a connection to Source that understands and trusts the flow of the Universe, believing that all things are working together for your good. That no one outside yourself can make you successful, powerful, happy, sad or even mad. That it is really up to you…
Isn’t that empowering to know that everything is your creation and you can choose something in the moment, or not...!?
Whatever you focus on expands, that is the truth. If you take a complete look at your magnificence and really see just how amazing you are, I can promise you that your confidence will laugh away anything that could possibly disturb your peace.
What are you good at?
What are three things (you may want to go to ten) that you love about yourself?
What would make you a happier person right now, in this moment?…!
Not Taking Things Personal!
Today I decided that I wouldn’t take things personally anymore, that I was totally responsible for how I felt and that no one could make me feel bad and I didn’t ever have to take on their problems…does that sound familiar to any of you?…!
Having an amazing mother who taught me how to give, love and share, I realized that I needed to start treating myself with the same respect I treated others. To really give to myself, love myself and share my own love with myself. Wow, what a gift huh?
As I’ve started to love myself more and more everyday, I realize that life is a process and the more we love ourselves, the more we can create and receive. Because we are made in the image and likeness of God, if we don’t love ourselves
( if we hate or deny ourselves) it is hard to connect with flow of love. It’s around us and in us, but our heart is the connecting point and we must be open to receive….
Open to Receive
When someone gives you a gift, you say thank you right? Well it’s the same way with our gifts. God has given us many, it’s our choice to decide how to use them and to open each one as we choose.
What gift have you opened lately? (IE something you have discovered about yourself)
What do you want to know more of about yourself?
What makes your heart sing?
As you receive yourself, you will begin to receive others better.
Just to receive is to live. To give is to achieve happiness. When we give to another we are really giving to ourselves. Without receiving you cannot give. Without receiving you cannot live!
Feeling worthy and valuable
You are worth it! Every penny, every moment, every breath!
Yes it is you you have been waiting for. You are your own Savior as you discover the miracle of you every day you will see yourself clearly and know that you are worth it!
This is true abundance. It starts and ends with YOU!
All My Love,
Abby

More about Abby from Abby:
As a young child I felt the presence of God wrapping itself around me like a warm blanket, it was as if I was a part of something that it was bigger than me, yet I could hold it in my hand at the same time. It had no time or shape, it simply was. This presence was so loving that I knew I could do nothing wrong and that I was safe.
Held in the arms of love, I became more aware of this unseen presence called “energy.” I would feel it, notice it, but not really know what to do with it! J
I knew this was the answer to everything yet obviously got overwhelmed with it. Like everyone, I had a childhood, a story and have had many life experiences where I felt disconnected from my own Life Force Connection to God.
When I was 19yrs. old I got an inspiration to start a business…this business was to share the love, joy and freedom I felt in discovering more of who I was. It was infinite and seemed so easy! I don’t claim that I have always had it easy, but when I was centered in my heart, everything worked! I simply followed my intuition! I wanted others to see themselves in the same way and have what their soul wanted. Thus, the birth of Life Force Connection today!
As I continued to work with clients and develop my own intimate connection with God, I saw that I really could do what I wanted when I truly believed in myself and released blocks in my unconscious mind and body that kept me from being who I was. I studied massage, coaching, NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), Hypnosis, Reiki, Psychic Development, you name it! I was determined to allow my spirit to fly! These modalities became the services I offered at Life Force Connection.
As Life Force Connection grew and took on a vision and life of it’s own, I began to see and feel myself drawn to more speaking. To reach and touch the heart’s of the world. It felt like a dream, yet the same passion was there as was for Life Force Connection. Almost like MAGIC, the right people were drawn to me, people would ask me what I did. I told them I wanted to be a speaker. Within a couple of months of thinking this thought, I was asked to speak at several organizations including, S.C.O.R.E., Women Helping Women, Women in Networking and North County Women in Networking. My passion grew of course….
Soon I was teaching Business, NLP and combined intuition classes at the School of Healing Arts and the Motivational Institute of Hypnotherapy. My heart expanded into what I really love, intuitive development for the soul, helping others see into their hearts, thrive and be who they are from the deepest inner self, to bring that Life Force energy to the surface where they get to manifest an abundance of love, money, happiness, health, wealth, and energy!
