Happy Holidays

Fri, 28 Nov 2008 09:41:47 -0600

Holiday Greetings,

I hope that each of you is setting intentions to enjoy the gifts that the holidays have to offer you. I sure am! Each day that I have chosen to live my life free of the victim consciousness ...has brought so very many wonderful gifts, and I mean all year long.

All of the healing work that I have done has paid off tremendously. My life is now full of pleasant surprises, rather than drama and misery filled ones as it was in the past. The consistency of growth is what really gives me inner peace and joy. It produces so many new experiences that offer opportunities for experiencing pleasure rather than pain.

The joy that I was able to muster up in the past used to come in spurts...it now flows in a steadfast way. I understand the river analogy now. Rather than the old feeling of fighting the current (or being pulled under regularly and having to gasp for air) now is an experience of a sense of peace in my daily life…that feels effortless more times than not …to flow with. When I get agitated or frustrated at times, it is temporary and I consistently look to the lesson and opportunity in the situation for growth and understanding which seems to dissipate those uncomfortable emotions promptly. I love this new reality!

I am now in a happy and healthy relationship,(he’s a great guy, kind, gentle, and wise). I enjoy my work immensely and have such amazing friendships …and exciting work opportunities. In fact, I am working on a very exciting 2009 Women's Empowerment Tour that I will be participating in this coming year. Watch for the details on this website. You won’t want to miss the line-up of powerful authors, speakers, and celebrities that are participating too.

I don't go it alone either.

I seek new teachers and attend seminars and classes to expand my creative powers and "feed my soul" as I put it in my book. It's always exhilarating to find new perspectives and inspiration from other teachers on this path. And, again, the rewards are consistent and fulfilling.

I will end this blog with an important reminder. Stay in gratitude, no matter what! It is a very simple and yet powerful manifesting tool to use every single day. Find at least three new things each day to be grateful for an entire week and just watch your attitude become more joyful! It truly works to draw new light and love into your life.

Remember to ask for assistance to expand your ability to love and be loved; and for help that your consciousness can expand to hold that increased love!

Until next time, I wish you joy, peace, and grace in your life.

Blessings,
Lori

What an incredible journey!

Wed, 17 Sep 2008 11:20:22 -0500

Hi Everyone:

I am back from a phenomenal trip out west. I visited five national parks on this journey-of-a-lifetime and had so much fun driving a little convertible sports car up the gorgeous coast of California! I had set forth the intention to make that trip happen a year and a half ago and happen it did!

I also received a hands-on-healing while visiting Sedona, Arizona, (from one of my mentors) that was remarkably successful! My doctors were amazed when I returned and I was completely released from the Workmen's Comp program that I was in. The Post Concussive Syndrome symptoms were completely gone. I had been recovering slowly while been treated at a Brain Concussion Specialty Clinic for nearly five months. I am so grateful for all that I've learned from the experience, but even more so ...to be on the other side of it! I sincerely set forth an intention to find the lesson behind the whole experience and garnished some very valuable ones that I am writing about in my upcoming book.

The sleeping giant within us all...

Fri, 20 Jun 2008 18:11:26 -0500

There came a time when the risk to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. ~Anaïs Nin

Which story have you bought into?

When you first began the process of awakening (also known as the path of enlightenment or empowerment) you tend to have an insatiable hunger to read books, articles, attend classes, etc. Why? Because there is a deep desire for every human being on this planet to wake up to the new consciousness that is now available to us. We want to get to know who it is that we really are, not the false reality that we bought into and for which has caused us so much pain. Once recognized, the process flames a burning desire within us to discover who we really are and what is underneath the facade that we've shown the world up until that point.

Spring Flowers

Wed, 09 May 2007 13:01:40 -0500

It's a beautiful Spring day here in Minnesota ... and the lilacs, apple trees, and other beautiful bloosoms are reminding me why I love this time of the year so much. The scent of these blooms alone are a slice of heaven here on earth!

It's a reminder that even when life appears to be dull or over-taxing -and our ability to see the beauty that life is holding right underneathe the challenges that we are facing is blocked or limited -there is a new day coming and our gifts of bliss and joy are only hiding just under the surface...and ready to pop out to surprise us with a bright new sense of beauty and life! Life may not hand us bloosoms all year long, but we most certainly have surprises such as a thoughtful friend surprising you with a card or gift or a neighbor offering to help us carry our groceries...or maybe a store clerk being especially kind or thoughtful even when we weren't expecting it. Life is full of newness and beauty all year long and often takes us by surprise when it delivers us unexpected kindness or joy.

A personal note

Sat, 27 Jan 2007 21:24:59 -0600

Greetings,

Belated Holiday Wishes

I greeted everyone at Thanksgiving time and since the holidays get so overwhelming time wise...I decided to hold back on publishing my newsletter again until early March. If you haven't signed up to receive one, do so on the left side of this page now!

I do hope that you all had a special holiday season and are as excited as me about what this New Year can deliver to you in your personal and professional lives!

My daughter spent Christmas with me here in California and we started new traditions this year, rather than pressuring ourselves with living up to some of the more outdated stress inducing old ones. Not that some of my favorite memories aren't due to some precious family traditions! We just decided to get creative and make some special memories of our own.

"Would-a, Should-a, Could-a..."

Fri, 27 Oct 2006 10:19:48 -0500

Do you ever do those "would-a, should-a, could-a's" to yourself? Part of releasing self-judgment is letting go of words (even if they are made up) like these ...and booting them out of your vocabulary all together!!! The cousin's to these aforementioned words are blame, shame, guilt, and let's throw in the word "mistake."

Blame is the opposite of learning to take responsibility. And, taking responsibility can simply mean learning to be able to respond.Response-able.And, once you learn that you can choose to respond from an optimistic viewpoint in life...you'll throw the word blame out into the old victim mindset junkyard once and for all!

Manifesting what we want.

Wed, 11 Oct 2006 11:35:14 -0500

Hi Everyone,

I hope that this finds you having a wonderful fall! Our trees have peaked here in Minnesota and it�s been a gorgeous autumn. It's one of my very favorite seasons of the year here in the Midwest. However; winter seems to be wanting to pay us a visit a little early this year, as I awoke this morning to snow flurries! Although, fresh fallen snow can be beautiful, I've grown to appreciate the sunny weather in California so much that I am very excited to be heading back to the warm weather and sunshine in a little over a week. Better yet: This year, I'll have the pleasure of traveling back and forth between the two states and enjoy the best of both worlds.

August News and recommendations

Sun, 06 Aug 2006 19:59:22 -0500

Hello, and thanks for checking back in.

Summer sure is flying by and the heat-wave(s) around the United States have been a bit draining on us all. I send my love, compassion, and healing to those families that lost loved ones as a result of that weather.

I am sure grateful that the one in the mid-west is lifting!! If you haven't seen the film "An Inconvenient Truth" yet, please check it out at www.climatecrisis.net. I went to this movie while visiting a friend in California last month and I, like the rest of the audience, just sat in our seats at the end of the movie�not a word spoken (seriously there was a dead silence!) while taking in the shock of what we had just watched �and reading the information on the screen that gave us suggestions as to what we each could do in our daily lives to begin healing this planet. I hope that you all take the time to see this movie and that you tell your neices, nephews, children and/or grandchildren to see it as well! As you all know our youth have a big impact on our ever-changing planet just as much as we do.

Staying calm during life's storm

Thu, 01 Jun 2006 10:00:44 -0500

Greetings,

Well, it's been a month of major changes in my personal life with a move from California back to Minnesota. And if there is one constant that I can count on in my life: it would be CHANGE. Can you relate? Not only did I choose to move half way across the country; I also had an uncle pass over to the "other side," an aunt get in an auto accident, my brother-in-law's father also passed over, and then I had a brother that has had to be revived three times, and flown by helicopter to a specialty hospital the night of my uncle's wake. A majority of this crisis occurred in a matter of one single week, and that doesn't count other typical challenges that can arise while in a transitional period such as any move brings forth.

Now, how is it that in the midst of chaos and constant change, that so many of us are going through in our lives, can one maintain a peaceful balance, stay aligned with our highest path, and in the flow of life? [[readmorelink]]

Feeding your soul...

Wed, 26 Apr 2006 16:03:12 -0500

In my book A Victim No More, How to Break Free From self-Judgment, I talk about how important it is to feed your soul. Let me define what I mean by that.

Once you state that you are willing to heal, your intuition begins to lead you to the right book, course, teacher and/or class, to begin the process, such is the reason that you are here reading this information. At some point you said that you've wanted to heal and just by taking time out to explore all of the wonderful healing materials that are available to assist you...you were led here. The process has begun. When you read my book you will be exposed to every single tool that you need to take your healing journey and put it into high gear!

Wisdom Teachers Interview

Tue, 18 Apr 2006 04:02:15 -0500

Hi Everyone,

I hope this finds you having a wonderful springtime and that your Holiday weekend was a good one. Mine sure was, as two of my children were able to fly out from Minnesota and spend it with me here in California. It was my son's first time here ...and so we did the "tourist thing" all weekend long! It is fun to be able to see everything again as "new" through the eyes of someone else that hasn't experienced what we may sometimes take for granted. Taking time to give to others is so rewarding when you do it to bring them joy and also do it from a space of love.

My first television interview on the new version of "A Victim No More, How to Break Free From Self-Judgment," is now available for viewing at Visit Wisdom Teachers. Be sure to check it out!

The Secret

Sun, 26 Mar 2006 08:58:57 -0600

Hi Everyone,

I hope this finds you all happy and well and in a whole lot of gratitude. I sure am, as the sun is out and Spring is bringing some warmer weather. I LOVE SPRING!

When best selling author of The Attractor Factor and hypnotic marketing guru, Joe Vitale,(www.mrfire.com) sent me an announcement about a new movie that had just came out, I had no idea that I was in for such a treat. After viewing the movie online I was so excited, that I could hardly get to sleep ...and I immediately ordered two copies of the DVD to share with friends and family! I have not been this excited about a movie in years!!

A little help from my new friends.

Sat, 18 Mar 2006 14:27:13 -0600

Hello,

I hope that you all had a great St. Patrick�s Day! Each year this day takes on a little extra meaning for me ?as it is my birthday. This year, although I was a couple thousand miles away from most of my friends and family members that I typically celebrate the day with, I decided to set forth the intention to make it an extra fun day filled with pleasure and happiness.

My day had begun by listening to a message from my daughter where she sang me the entire "Happy Birthday" song. That in it self made the day special! I also received phone calls and cards from many of my other friends and family members which were very heart warming. As the day progressed, I felt a little lonesome for them all and decided that I would give myself a couple of minutes to be sad ...and then flip the switch (Lynn Grabhorn taught this technique in her book Excuse Me, your Life is Waiting.) It worked!! I then chose to focus on how lucky I was to have so many beautiful and loving people in my life that loved and cared about me, rather than focusing on the fact that they weren't here in person.
