Last week I wrote about The Secrets of Sabotaging Your Success, which is basically “Where Focus Goes, Energy Flows.” What you think about, is what you become. If you focus on “bankruptcy” or “don’t lose a turn” like my husband did when he was on Wheel of Fortune 14 years ago…then that is exactly what you’ll receive. The trick is to change your self talk!

14 years before we were married, my husband Doug was a contestant on The Wheel Of Fortune. The episode aired March 3rd, 2009. He won $3900 for about 10 hours of work. We recently had some friends over and watched the show. Doug was telling us about the auditions, how he had to get clearance from work to be on the show, and how people who showed up in Christmas sweaters for the December taping, were requested to change as these shows wouldn’t air until March. As he was telling us about his experience, he said he had 2 fears of being on the show: “Losing A Turn,” and getting “Bankrupt.” He did both.

Welcome to the first blog of the month of March - and this month we’ll be focusing on Manifesting!

Does manifesting really work? YES! We manifest all the time, because what we think about is what we attract and what we attract is what we become. When we think about great things happening to us, great things happen. When we think about bad things happening to us, bad things happen.

Different governments, officials, environmental agencies always seem to be asking us to conserve the energy we use in order to save the environment and sustain our continued existence on the planet. How ironic, that on a personal level, we almost never seem to do that for ourselves! Let’s spend a few minutes considering how to conserve, focus and maximize our own personal supply of energy. We unconsciously dissipate and waste our energy on people, situations, thoughts, attitudes and events which do not personally enrich us. Instead, this leaves less space and energy for creating and attracting the kind of abundance that we truly want in our lives. Interestingly enough I've also found that as I conserve, focus and thereby maximize my energy, I tend to use less energy on craving and acquiring "stuff", but more energy focusing on what is truly important to me, thereby helping the environment.

I am getting married for the 2nd time in a few weeks. I’m marrying a man who has been married twice before. Seemed like a great time to talk about The Fear of Failure! There is nothing more optimistic than 2 people in their mid-50s thinking they’ve learned enough from their past mistakes to try their hand at marriage again.
