Rainbows, Potholes & Nuggets of Gold

You may think the title of this particular post is a bit strange but bear with me... Years ago, a decade actually, I watched the movie Frozen with my grandchildren and I was blown away that a Disney film could contain spiritual thruths! I'm sure there are many other Disney films that contain spiritual truths, but with Winter and Christmas approaching, I thought I'd republish the review I wrote back in 2014 here, so you can see where I'm coming from and why this children's film inspired me so much.... “Only an act of true love can melt a frozen heart.” How true this statement is! Elsa has a gift, one that when activated, shoots ice from her hands and causes things to freeze over. After an accident in which her young sister gets injured, Elsa is confined to her bedroom with gloves. "Don’t feel, don’t let your emotions show, don’t let them know” is the edict that keeps her bound, much to the dismay of young Anna. Until Coronation Day when Elsa is crowned Queen of Arendelle and fun-loving Anna unintentionally creates havoc which results in Elsa freezing the country in perpetual winter. I haven’t been to a movie theater in years much less to see a Disney production but the spiritual implications of this movie were so wonderful! The fact that Elsa is persuaded, forced in fact, to stuff her emotions is a prime example of the way many people live. Don’t feel, conceal. Don’t let your emotions show. Always be good. Control them otherwise they’ll control you…. Unfortunately we all reach a breaking point and who knows what the trigger might be? The only thing we know for sure is that anger and fear produce destruction. But love…true love…love that forgives and sacrifices…has the ability to create miracles and magic. Even if you don’t have children or grandchildren, borrow a couple of kids if you must, but watch this/these movie(s). You won’t be disappointed. And if you DO have children on your Christmas list, check out the many, many FROZEN items available including toys, books, dolls, and even a Collectors Item DVD. I hope this post inspired you as much as it has me (I think I'll rewatch Frozen LOL!). Until next time, take care and God Bless.

It's been a while since I posted here, mainly because I've been traveling. The good thing about traveling, is there is time to read while waiting in airports! I've mentioned how much I love and appreciate Dr. Joe Dispenza's work so, since I recently re-read this book, I thought I'd share it with you. I first read Becoming Supernatural in 2018 or 2019. Then, in a whirlwind of cleaning off bookshelves, gave the book away. Big mistake! This time I purchased the Kindle version so I can read on the device or on my phone. Which makes it a whole lot easier to consume in situations like those mentioned above. I can't even begin to tell you how much this book and the meditations within it have impacted me. Much like the documentary, Source It is Within YOU, the Medical, Biological and Physiologocal evidence behind the meditations as well as stories of people whose lives have been totally transformed by doing this work is amazing! I haven't had any mystical or 'supernatural' experiences from doing Dr. Joe's meditations. Yet. But I can tell you with continued practice my life feels more orderly, more coherent. If you're looking to change anything about your life, (health, wealth, emotional or physical wellbeing), check out Becoming Supernatural or any other books and meditations by Dr. Joe and let me know what you think. To listen to some of the testimonials to the validity of Dr. Joe's work, check out Stories of Transformation on his website or YouTube Channel. If you visit YouTube, check out the many interviews with Dr. Joe too. That's all for now folks! Until next time, keep reading, learning, growing.

Starting September 17th, anyone can pre-register HERE and be part of the 3-day event. I promise you won't regret it! Hebrews 11:11 tells us that “Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” So many times we wonder what that means and to be honest, depending on how you look at it, and where you put a comma, it could mean different things. For me, this verse alludes to so much more than the typical platitudes given in explanation from many. As you may know, I’ve been on a spiritual journey most of my adult life and read voraciously books written by today’s spiritual leaders and this particular verse magnifies what many of them say regarding spiritual principles, living in the present moment, and the law of attraction. Now some ridicule and judge me for doing so, stating that the ONLY books we should read are the Bible and those written by Pastors and Ministers. Seriously? Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely LOVE God’s word and do my best to glean meaning and depth from every book I read, especially the Bible. In fact, I have several translations I value. But, think about it! Even Bible-toting, Scripture-quoting Christians spend more time looking back on the past with shame, guilt or regret and/or worrying about the future with fear and trembling. But this is not what spiritual leaders nor God teach us. We are taught that yesterday is gone and tomorrow isn’t here, so we should appreciate the gift of today. The Bible says we should “forget those things which are behind and reach forward to those things which are ahead” (Philippians 3:12). Spiritual leaders teach us to live in the present (now) and to visualize (see) the future as we would like (hope) to create it. The Law of Attraction states that what you focus on, you attract into your life. Read the Scripture again….Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. How much more convincing do we need to consider the Law of Attraction might actually be another term for Faith in Action? I’m not here to convince you that my way is the only way or that I’m right and you’re wrong in your way of thinking. I only hope these words will encourage you to open your mind and heart to what deeper meanings lie in the Scriptures we love so much. Something to think about…. “Inspirational with an Edge!” ™ In a previous post I mentioned that I am a huge fan of Dr. Joe Dispenza's work and that we would be talking about him soon. Well, soon is now LOL! I discovered Dr. Dispenza a few years ago when I heard an interview where he described how he healed his broken spine through the power of his mind. As you know I am a Science nerd, so his story captivated me. I've followed his work and been practicing Dr. Joe's meditations consistently for 2 years now and I can't even begin to explain how my life has changed. One thing is this blog. As I mentioned in my initial post I'd wrestled with the idea of sharing this type of information for years. Since meditating and letting go of so many limiting beliefs, here we are. Another thing is starting, or reinstating my Life Coaching business, which you can see I've done also. Soon I'll have a YouTube channel, "Coaching in PJs" ™ which is something I would never have dreamed much less dared to do 3 years ago! This breif post is simply an introduction to Dr. Joe Dispenza and his amazing work. I promise we will be dicussing him more. But for now, he has an indepth study of the effects meditation has on the body with all kinds of data and research and testimonials. Proof that his own personal healing (as well as hundreds, perhaps thousands of other people's) wasn't a fluke or accident. I LOVE this film and believe you will too. Check it out HERE. I promise you will not regret it. Until next time, take care and happy meditating!
