PS – Imagine, a powerful and F*R*E*E opportunity to discover the secrets of thriving in every area of your life from some of today’s leading revolutionaries.

All the details will be emailed to you as soon as you register!

A few years ago a dear friend gave me Cheryl Richardson’s book, “The Unmistakeable Touch of Grace.”

She writes, “Grace comes from the Latin word gratia, meaning favor, charm or thanks. Grace is seen as a creative force- an act of exceptional kindness and goodness. It’s the recognition that everything is connected and sacred. The more in touch we are with this natural abundance of life, the less we need.”

She also believes that grace is a kind of spiritual intelligence, a form of energy that comes from the Divine Source and that as we connect and trust this Higher Power to lead us, the more we step into alignment with a larger vision for our lives. We begin to recognize the signs, symbols, and messages that lead us to our highest good.

It’s easy to recognize the Divine hand of Grace when things work out the way you want.

For example: You envisioned something you wanted, prayed about it, practiced working with The Law of Attraction and if it flowed the way you hoped, you were happy. You might even say Grace was at work to bring you what you wished for.

Have you ever had one of those moments or days or where everything seemed to come together with ease? It felt magical, didn’t it?

Grace can come in many forms like having all the traffic lights  turn green when you had to get somewhere at a certain time, receiving help just when you needed it, an uncomfortable conversation goes better than you expected,  and attracting business opportunities without a lot of effort.

Who doesn’t love it when things go the way we like? We feel thankful and often credit The Divine for the blessing.

When life seems to take a turn and brings you challenges and pain, do you see the hand of Grace then?

Prior to reading Cheryl’s book, I never thought much about what it meant to live “in Grace.” I knew that when times felt difficult I wanted ease and relief. And when life felt rich and flowing, I was grateful and happy.

I realized how powerfull it is to be able to feel ease and flow no matter what is happening; to not be dependent on something happening “out there” to feel good “in here.”

That’s what Grace is really about. Grace has an energy of peace and calm that is filled with faith, trust, love, courage…that is rooted in your relationship with God.

Last year during my breast cancer experience, I lived with the hand of Divine Grace. It was an amazing period of defining moments to walk through what could have been a terrifying experience effortlessly…without any fear or burdens. My bond with God grew stronger and I felt liberated from a ton of emotional drama without even trying. I had made a shift in consciousness…and I began to understand what Divine Grace really is - a gift of freedom from suffering and struggle.

Now, when I get caught up in my fears and worries, I know how to walk through my drama and bring Grace with me.

You might be experiencing fear, money worries, health issues, relationship conflicts, and business challenges. It may be difficult when life feels hard to see Grace in operation and yet, it is always there.

Would you like to have more Grace and love in your life?

Your mind and ego won’t get you there. As long as your mind is trying to direct, control, and manage your life, you will stay in struggle and fear.

Grace comes when you let go of resisting whatever is happening, wanted or unwanted Often what we grasp so tightly in fear is exactly the thing that is blocking what you most desire. Grace also comes when you have done all you can and fully release any problem into the hands of the Divine and trust that all will be handled.

It’s much easier to write and talk about than it is to practice surrender. Once you begin to surrender using practices that deepen your connection to the Divine, your perspective on life transforms. When your perspective transforms, your life transforms.

That’s why noticing the blessings and hand of Grace is so important. That is the evidence that builds trust between you and God.

Grace is something you RECEIVE. It is not something you MAKE happen.

A current life challenge and difficulty might be an answer to your prayer; an opportunity for grace to lead you to a joyful, prosperous, and meaningfull life.

• A job loss might be the pathway to do the work that brings greater vitality and aliveness to your life.
• A financial challenge might be Divinely designed to help you develop trust and bring you closer to God
• A relationship conflict might help you to find your voice, develop greater compassion and love, or invite you to forgive.
• A health condition may be a gift to help you heal unresolved grief, guilt, or unforgiveness..

Have you had experiences that you thought were “bad” that turned out to be blessings in disguise?

Take a look at your life.

What do you resist, struggle with and fight against?

What would happen if you surrendered your resistance and invited Grace to lead you with faith, trust and courage?

Want to consciously live in the spirit of Divine Grace?

Learning the art of surrendering, deepening your bond with God, opening your heart and expanding your mindset are some of the keys to dance with Grace.

That’s why I created the Pathways to Awakening program which is a series of 4-week mini courses designed as deepening journeys to help you release the past and open to greater joy and prosperity while fulfilling you Divine destiny.

The next  four week journey focuses on Divine Grace beginning Wednesday, April 17. Take advantage of the early tuition through April 12 and choose from two payments options.

PLUS, I am gifting one 30-minute private session with me to three folks.

TRUST your intuition to register. That’s Divine Grace speaking to you. It would be an honor to help you expand your relationship with Grace.

Love and blessings,

Lorraine

The Law of Expectation

(Adapted excerpt from Aligning With Destiny program with co-leader Anita Pathik Law)

“You are perfectly aligned to get the results you get.”~Dr. Stephen Covey

The Law of Expectation works in harmony with The Law of Attraction.

Energy always follows our thoughts. 

What you believe, assume, anticipate, expect or even dread or fear, consciously and subconsciously, forms the creative energy towards manifestation, and has a direct impact on the experience you create.

Expectation is an energized thought form that is highly creative in nature and may be in competition with what you want (or think you want) to create in your life.

If you believe and expect something negative to happen, you will manifest a negative outcome.

If you believe and expect good things to happen, you will attract positive experiences.

The core energies of The Law of Expectation are anticipation, faith and fear.

We become so attached to seeing things in certain ways—ways  we see ourselves and our life experiences as they relate to our current reality—that  we unconsciously limit a new reality from being experienced in our lives.

The trap is becoming so aligned with that story that it becomes your way of being.  We inadvertently reinforce our “stories” into permanence and become a “victim” in a reality that we have actively helped to create over and over and over.

Your thoughts and beliefs shape your experiences and expectations. 

If your expectation is more aligned with the undesirable, you will continue to create the undesirable.

Let’s say you desire financial prosperity and abundance in your business and life.

If what you expect is not a match to your intention – you will more likely manifest your expectation.

How you view what you attract can positively or negatively influence your faith and trust.

What you really EXPECT is:

• You will have to work extra hard to market and increase sales, which is something you hate doing, and may feel a lack of competence, or confidence
• You’ll be working so hard you won’t have time to have a life
• You will lose your freedom to…
• You will have to make sacrifices that are undesirable
• It will only be temporary and soon you will find yourself in the same mess…. again
• Miracles only happen to other people
• There will always be an ebb and flow, rather than a steady stream
• You can’t really make money doing what you love
• People won’t pay for what you have to offer

Which ones do you relate to?

Which will ultimately win – Desire or Expectation?More often then not, expectation wins. Even if the manifestation of the desire occurs, because the expectation clouds everything you see and experience, odds are you might miss it.

Why? Because it is so different from your picture or expectation of what you wanted or intended.

“You’re always getting a perfect vibrational match to what you predominantly give your attention to. But you’ve got to make the best of it. You’ve got to vibrate slightly different from where you are if you are going to improve where you are. You can’t keep taking score of where your business is or your relationship is, or your body is without continuing to create it as it is. To make improvement, you’ve got to reach for a different thought.” - Abraham-Hicks, Tampa, FL 12/6/03

When focusing on what you wish to create and attract in your life, what expectations do you have?

Working with the Law of Attraction (LOA), remember that your beliefs, thoughts, emotions desires, and attachment to what happens are all connected with your expectations and intentions!

If your desires, intentions and expectations do not match, it’s time to look within and take responsibility for what you are creating as your reality.

Explore your positive and negative expectations with an open heart and curious mind. Suspend any judgments.

If you feel a loss of faith and trust in yourself, others, and The Divine in how your prayers and dreams are manifesting, get honest.

What were your real expectations?

Where does your faith and trust need to be strengthened?

What thought patterns do you need to shift, transform, and release?

Be willing to shine a light on any vibrational inconsistencies between your mind and your soul. By mining down to your expectations, you can see if they are a match to your desires and support them or counter them.

Ready for the last key?

Commit to daily self-care and spiritual practices.

Meditation, inspirational reading, walks in nature, stillness, and journaling are some ways to feel connected to that Divine spark within you. Daily practices and rituals that nourish your body, mind and soul connects you to your soul purpose and the collective Oneness.

Cultivating faith, trust, and courage in the face of fear, challenges and uncertainty deepens our faith that we are indeed supported by the Universe.

Taking care of your body is an important element to your inner foundation. When we feel “fed” we can show up for the people, responsibilities and situations that we most care about with our best SELF. When we are depleted, over-extended, hungry, lonely, or angry, life becomes more burdensome.

Negative self-talk, self-sabotage, and fears increase when you are not nurturing yourself.

To check when you might be out of balance or in need of some self-care pronto, here are some common signals: taking things too personally, beating yourself up, irritability, over-reacting, resentment, anger, overwhelm, confusion, distracted, stressed, or tense.

Ask yourself, “What do I need right now? What is my body asking for? What have I been ignoring?“ Then DO IT!

Notice your thoughts and feelings without judging, censoring or trying to get rid of them so you don’t stuff them down inside. Then, make a conscious decision to suspend giving your money concerns any more energy by choosing to place your attention elsewhere.

Make a commitment to stop talking about, thinking about and worrying about money. Start with an hour, a day or a week. You might be happily surprised at how much energy and flow opens when you stand strong in love, faith, trust and courage!

God is the true SOURCE of your supply and the greatest ally in your life!

Make your relationship with God a daily priority. Have ongoing conversations with God and share your heart like you would speak to a loving, and trusted friend who wants your life to be rich and joyfull.

Make God your business partner and your life partner.

Praise God for answered prayers and trust that whatever form they take is to ultimately make your life amazing.

Cultivate an abundance attitude of appreciation.

Every minute, every hour and every day you choose what you will create and manifest, consciously or unconsciously! That is The Law of Attraction.

And most importantly!!!! Commit to doing your inner work to identify, heal, and transform what is unresolved from your past that still has a painful negative charge

Rather than asking the Divine to get rid of things you don’t like or fear, ask instead for the courage and strength to walk through the experience.

Whatever you don’t know how to do or be - God does. Ask to be taught, shown and guided… and be open to the form this learning takes to bring you closer to who you really are as a child of Light.

Get help where you need it and remember to send your prayers to the Universe. Help comes when asked for. You are not meant to travel through this life alone!

And if FEAR is controlling your life, join me for 4-week mini journey into COURAGE beginning May 29. Take advantage of the early tuition through May 22. The program is a game-changer to transcend your money story and life struggles to live a more joyfull, prosperous and soul-guided life. Learn more and reserve your seat!

PS - If you missed the other six keys written over the past week, take a few minutes to read them. They might be exactly what you need to remember right now!

Two days ago I shared the third key, “Adopt an attitude of gratitude.” I said even though we are reminded about feeling genuine gratitude and the powerfull impact it has on our heart and outer reality, when we get caught up in fear and negativity, gratitude flies out the window!

I also wrote that gratitude is a powerfull magnet to attract good into your life when your thankfulness is genuine. Heartfelt appreciation radiates love, which is our natural state of being.

Every person and life situation is in service to your individual evolution and the expansion of the planet.

Every desirable or undesirable experience offers a healing and growth opportunity.

Here are three more keys to invite greater prosperity and peace:

Breathe. Breathe, Breathe. 

Worrying about the future, imagining the worse case scenarios, or past upsets repeating can generate a downwards spiral  into pain,  Slow deliberate breathes can discharge fear reactions by bringing you back into the present moment.

Breathing also opens the gateway to reconnect with The Divine/God/Source within.

Practice conscious breathing throughout your day. Make this a habit to stop, be still, and focus on deliberate breathing for several minutes. You might find you feel more focused, present, grounded, connected to your SELF, and peacefull.

Shift your inner and outer language.

Your inner thoughts, self-talk, the words you are thinking and saying to others are either constrictive or expansive. You can feel this in your body because your thoughts, beliefs, and feeling are interconnected.

Do your words and thoughts reflect the abundant reality you wish to create? Pay attention to what you are thinking and what is coming out of your mouth. Are you lapsing back into your lack and scarcity story? 

The Universe in listening!

Be of service to others.

I’ve written about this many times. Give what you most want to receive in your life because it brings you joy rather than for the purpose of getting something back in return. I’m a believer that we are all collectively connected and part of the ONE God/Divine/Creator of All That Is. In giving to others we also receive.

Look for ways to be of help to others in whatever way you can that feel right and true for you. Share your love, your wisdom, your time, your energy, your connections – whatever you feel called to offer another that will enhance their life positively. What goes around…

One more key to go!

Love and blessings,

Lorraine

In the first two keys I talked about the importance of letting go rehasing and telling the lack and scarcity stpry in your mind and in your conversations

I invited you to recognize the many forms of abundance in your life to expand your definition and perspective of wealth.

This next key is probably one you hear about quite often. It is also one that is easy to forget especially when we get caught up in fear-based thinking.

Adopt an attitude of gratitude.

Each morning I begin my day writing seven things I’m gratefull for. Sometimes I even write things in advance of them happening!

Periodically I write 100 things I’m gratefull for which invites me to dig deep to recognize all the big and small blessings that are easy to overlook like having hot water, food in the refrigerator, laughter, a sunny day…I find that after I reach 100 which takes about 15 minutes I can still add more. Try this out for yourself!

Gratitude is a powerfull magnet to attract good into your life when your thankfulness is genuine. Heartfelt appreciation radiates love, which is our natural state of being.

If you have difficulty feeling deep gratitude, as I do sometimes, pick up the book by Rhonda Byrne called, “The Magic”. I just received this book for my birthday and I am excited to deepen my own embodiment of gratitude.

Every person and life situation is in service to your individual evolution and the expansion of the planet.

Every desirable or undesirable experience offers a healing and growth opportunity. You can either flow with Life or fight against it. The choice is up to you.

Focus on all that is right in your world rather than all that is wrong.  Rest into the energies of appreciation so it fills you up and then take a look at your life.

What do you see?

The next keys are coming in two days!

Love and blessings,

Lorraine

In the first key I said, “Dump your lack and scarcity story.”  Resist the urge and tendency to focus your attention on what is missing from your life. Dwelling on what you are longing for that you see as absent, gives life to lack and scarcity.

Each of these steps can be done in any order!

Here is the second key:

Look for the evidence of abundance.

I see many people getting stuck on the idea that abundance, prosperity, or wealth is limited to manifesting money. If you have that mindset you are missing out in receiving so much more abundance into your life.

Abundance comes in many forms - gifts, blessings, miracles including money even if it is a penny on the ground, that makes life rich and joyfull.

Look at the people and situation that enRICH your life. Keep your mind and heart open to recognize and celebrate all the ways the Universe shows up in answer to your prayers. Whatever the size of your bank account is, you are richer than you might realize.

Imagine what you might manifest when you view life through the eyes of abundance!

Bless all the abundance that flows and say, “Thank you, thank you, thank you!”.

Cultivating faith, trust, and courage in the face of fear, challenges and uncertainty deepens our faith that we are indeed supported by the Universe in co-creatorship and that all of our desires, wants and needs are supplied by an unlimited Source.

Key three is coming in two days!

Love and blessings,

“You are perfectly aligned to get the results you get.”~ Dr. Stephen Covey

In a conversation yesterday I was reminded of how powerfull our ego is to influence what we create and manifest in our life.

With all the changes and energy shifts happening, money concerns and all sorts or fears are running high.

The three elements in manifestation are thoughts, words, and actions.

Everything that exists is energy, constantly creating and bringing to you whatever is a vibrational match. Whatever you put your attention on expands. If your attention is focused on lack and scarcity, you will attract more lack and scarcity, even if you spend time during the day saying or writing affirmations, visualizing, or using vision boards.

Every thought, feeling, belief, and action has manifesting energy: the power to create what you desire or more of what is undesired depending on the amount of attention and emotional charge invested. The more attention and energy you give to your thoughts and feelings, the faster you manifest.

For example, if you desire to have more money and abundance and you focus five or ten minutes a day affirming it, visualizing it, and feeling it and then spend ten hours fearfull, worried and concerned about how you are going to pay the bills, focusing on worse case scenarios, and how much struggle you have in your life, the vibrational match to what you will  attract is more lack and more struggle.

Here  is the first of seven critical keys to consciously shift money fears and poverty consciousness:

Dump your lack and scarcity story. Resist the urge and tendency to focus your attention on what is missing from your life. Dwelling on what you are longing for that you see as absent, gives life to lack and scarcity.

From the Universe’s perspective of abundance, you have everything you need so when your message back is “I want it. I don’t have it.” The vibrational match to your desire becomes more lack and scarcity. Fears are created from ego and focus on the “what ifs” in the future.

Each time you find yourself slipping into fearfull thoughts of worry, stop, and breathe deeply a few times to bring your attention back to the present. Ask yourself, “In THIS moment, do I have everything I need?” If the answer is yes, breathe again. Be still and quiet. Then ask inside, “What is mine to do right now? Who am I to be TODAY?”

Listen to the small voice whispering inside or an idea that pops into your head that feels soul directed. The key is to ALLOW the guidance to come to you rather than reaching and pushing inside for answers.

One of my dear friends says that when money fears begin to bubble up, step back and recall times when things in life and business were going well. Recall that feeling of prosperity, and any other abundant feelings like peace, confidence, joy.., when you felt more financially flush and supported by Life. Sink into that feeling and let it fill you up.

What steps did you take to create those situations of prosperity that you could duplicate now?

What are some things you can do today to attract money into your life quickly?

Pay attention to jumping into things from desperation and fear. Tune into your guidance for direction and inspired action to manifest more of what you desire.

The next step is coming in two days!

The Law of Attraction

I love synchronicities.  There was no accident that “The Secret” and all the buzz on the Law of Attraction (LOA) came to public view several years ago.

Esther and Jerry Hicks are best known for talking about LOA in their Abraham materials. It got people talking about the Power of Manifestation and their role in the process. Great!

Conversation stimulates awareness which is all part of personal and spiritual growth.

The following LOA formula is taken directly from Dr. Joe Vitale’s bestselling book, “The Attractor Factor”.

THE 5 EASY STEPS TO MANIFESTING YOUR DESIRES:

1. Know what you don’t want.

2. Select what you do want.

3. Clear all negative or limiting beliefs.

4. Feel what it would be like to have, do or be what you want.

5. Let go as you act on your intuitive impulses, and allow the results to manifest. In other words, to want without needing what you desire, letting go of attachment to any outcome and being absolutely ok with whatever happens. Surrender to receive what is for your best and highest good.

Is it all that simple?

No.

Because there is a critical factor to what you deliberately create and attract. YOU

We live in an energy Universe and you are an energy being.  What you bring your focus to in thought, emotion and behavior is attracted into your life. What you are thinking and feeling is a good indication of what you are in the process of creating. You magnetize towards you that which you bring your focus and energy to because all that flows to you is a match to your vibrational energy.

You may want money but your overriding feeling and subconscious belief is not feeling good enough. You may want a loving relationship but your inner most feeling are ones that reflect feeling unlovable.

In other words your outer world is a manifestation and reflection of your inner thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and actions.

Folks jumped on the idea of The Law of Attraction as being their answer to ending their life challenges and struggles. They saw using LOA as a magic bullet and easily became disillusioned when the outcome they hoped for did not manifest they way they wanted or happened fassst enough. (Divine Timing, remember?)

It doesn’t work, I must be doing it wrong, it’s just a bunch of hooey…

Step five about letting go of attachment to the outcome hooks folks every time.

Rather than view what they were attracting as a healing and growth opportunity to transform themselves and raise their vibrations, their faith and trust shook with doubts and fears.

Why? We don’t know how to let go and fully surrender without trying to control, manage, or direct what happens to get the outcome we want. And when things don’t pan out as we hoped, we get angry, look for someone or something to blame, give up, feel helpless….

So when I hear people talking about applying the Law of Attraction and expressing frustration with their results, I understand. As one of many, many spiritual laws that govern the Universe aligning with spiritual Laws is not a technique you master in 5 easy steps.

Transformation is a process not a light switch. True transformation is a shift of consciousness and energy vibration that becomes integrated into who we become. Transformation goes beyond changing a thought, feeling, or behavior through practice and intention because we become the change we desire.

If you haven’t done the inner work to clear emotions, attitudes, and behaviors that are manifesting more of what you don’t want, you’ll continue to feel frustrated and have the same results. You can’t side-step doing the inner work.

You might be able to let go of a limiting belief in an instant by making the decision then and there. You might need to do more in-depth work that requires time and effort. The more you can appreciate the process as a journey of evolution rather than an event or technique to master, the easier and more fun it can become!

Love and gratitude are the core magnetizing energies of the Law of Attraction. When blocked, seek opportunities to forgive and move into gratitude and demonstrations of love towards self and others.

One more thing… I believe we are Source energy with the power to manifest our desires, wanted or unwanted and taking LOA literally diminishes the relationship we have with the presence and power of God in the equation.

What is also missing in thinking about LOA is that our soul’s intention for being here is growth and expansion and our human desires and intentions might be a mismatch. That’s why I include the phrases, “For my highest and best good, or this or something greater” when I express and focus on what I want to manifest.

Has your experience with The Law of Attraction caused you to lose faith and trust with your SELF, The Divine, others?

Or have your life experiences served to help you stretch beyond your limitations and comfort zone to become more of the person you are destined to be?

If you have lost faith and trust in the ways your life is unfolding take a look at #3 & #5 again with an open mind and heart!

To dance with this law, you must be willing to embrace all that you create, remembering that everything is in service to your growth and evolution. There are no mistakes, Nothing is wasted.

Trust THAT!

And if you are struggling with money woes, be sure to read this article I wrote on Tithing, a practice many people misunderstand that affects the flow of money and abundance you attract into your life!

A few days ago I had a conversation with one of the folks in my community who expressed his anger about how his life was going.  He blames his financial struggles and relationship challenges on others. He believes he had NOTHING to do with his current circumstances.

I heard so much unforgiveness in his anger.

When I pointed out how palpable his anger was, he denied it. And when I suggested that his difficulties were providing healing opportunities for love and forgiveness, he shut right down. When I reminded him of  how powerfull the Law of Attraction is, became even angrier. He was too invested in feeling like a victim and being miserable!

Ya know what’s crazy? How often I see people refuse opportunities that could be life-altering if they were willing and courageous to boldly shine a light on the shadows that could liberate them from the past.

I see that happen all too often with folks who say they want their life to be different and then they back off. And what is astonishing is how CLOSE they really are to be free from fear and misery. So CLOSE if they would take that leap of faith.

Why allow a chance to slip by that could make life easier and more joyful?

Here are a few reasons that you might relate to:

• The Devil you know…. misery, suffering, struggles are too familiar comfort zones and provide a false sense of safety
•  Fear - of success, uncertainty, failure….. One courageous student in the last forgiveness program wondered who she would be without her story of pain. Imagine how much more peace, happiness, abundance, love could be unblocked!
• Excuses - “I can afford it, I don’t have enough time, it’s too hard, it’s not the right time…” There’s always a payoff to the excuses we use to refuse to move.
•  Unworthiness - “I don’t deserve it, I don’t matter, I’m unlovable, not good enough, I need to be punished..” Lies that we come to believe as truth create misery. We block the good that is our Divine birthright.

Each of us has acted unwisely, betrayed another, abandoned ourselves, and shown up as less than the loving presence we really are. And yet, knowing how important it is to forgive and actually embodying forgiveness are two different things.

We can be like dogs with a bone, right?

Harboring resentments, judgments, grudges, regrets, or anger towards others and most specifically YOU, throws a mountain of resistance in front of all the things you want to come into your life - more of the challenges you are struggling with now. You end up eating your pain and wearing it on your body, getting sick physically or psychologically…..

Resentments, regrets, judgments, anger affects EVERYTHING in your life - money , health, success, relationships,happiness…

I know it can be scary to go into the shadows. The reward of giving yourself the gift of this FREEDOM and PEACE is experiencing states of grace and love beyond words.

At the core, the one you are most upset with is YOU…. Being unforgiving is a form of hatred towards others and your self; separating you from your natural state of love and abundance.

Unforgiveness separates you from your True Self and the Divine by withholding love and self-worth. That separation is the greatest wound humanity suffers.

How to tell where you might be holding on to past resentments, regrets and judgments, especially with yourself? There is ALWAYS an emotional charge!

• Debt and financial struggles
• Revisiting painful childhood memories and past events (feeling abandoned, rejected, betrayed, not heard, unloved..)
• How quickly you feel rage, anger, shame, and unworthiness
• All the ways you sabotage your efforts
• The way you treat yourself - lovingly or unlovingly
• Health and weight problems

I could go on…

I have been doing some deep forgiveness work with MONEY. In the past, I made some personal and business decisions that created financial challenges and regrets. I was the angriest with myself because “I should have been smarter!”

I realized was having a love/hate relationship with money. I had created an unwelcoming place within myself for money to come and when it did, I expected money to leave me and that’s what was happening!

Using my skills, tools and the guidance from my spirit (which I share in the Journey through Forgiveness program!), I worked with self-forgiveness and my relationship with money.  I created a special forgiveness process with money (that I also share in the program) that immediately shifted my financial situation.

Things opened up right away! I’ve had money and all kinds of abundance pouring in without having to work hard. In this past week alone, I’ve had money and abundance coming in DAILY! What fun!

Forgiveness is an internal shift you embody not something you WILL yourself to feel.

Forgiveness is the pathway to Love and Grace.

Forgiveness is a bridge to the Divine.

Forgiveness unblocks flow.

Love, Forgiveness, and Grace opens the floodgates for more good than you could possibly imagine!

Whatever you are holding onto that is unresolved and not brought to love and peace within you in operating at full throttle affecting EVERY area of your life, mentally, physically, emotionally,  psychologically, and spiritually. What isn’t released into love festers inside. The result is unhappiness, suffering, illness…life feels hard and painful.

That’s not what you signed up for!

How to tell when you have truly forgiven?

You feel peacefull, an increase of energy, and a rise in your happiness level. There is no resistance, no emotional charge or angst

Are you at peace?

Are you a welcoming place to receive all the good the Universe wants to gift you?

If you answered NO!, then join me for my Pathways to Awakening, 4 week Journey into Forgiveness will give you PROVEN keys to let yourself and others off the hook for being human and not showing up in the highest and most loving way.

Restoring peace by having the chops to take the journey with forgiveness is the pathway to the life you came to live as an awakened being in this new world consciousness of love and prosperity. The past can only be put to rest if you are willing to take the steps to liberate yourself. I’ll show you how!
