Embrace Where you are and Live Each Day Fully

It’s interesting how our priorities change when we’re in our 20’s, 30’s, 40’s, 50’s and 60’s.  Mary Kay Ash stated it so well:

  • From 14 to 40 a woman needs good looks
  • From 40 to 60 she needs personality
  • And from 60 on I’m here to tell you a woman needs CASH!

All kidding aside, I’m finding that in my 40’s I am eager to work, but I prefer a more relaxed and meaningful nature to my work.  I’ve also learned that I have the ability to design my life how I want it to be.  I didn’t use to believe that.  But now that I love myself more, I’ve practiced manifesting at small levels, moved to bigger levels, and because I’m willing to take responsibility for everything that appears in my life, I have found how to create in a significant way.

20131231-103515The most important thing I’ve learned while on the planet is to embrace where I am.  It doesn’t matter that I would like to lose 50 pounds; I still love myself as the person I am today.  I don’t want to wish my life away or lose precious minutes griping about how I look.  When I’m ready to change I will, and in the meantime I will do what feels right for my mind, body & spirit.  If I feel like going for a walk I do.  If I feel like sitting on the couch watching a movie with my honey, I do.  If it feels good to play with my dog I do.

Reflecting on the past, or griping about your current weight, finances, friends, family, etc. only for the purpose of complaining or beating yourself up doesn’t serve your highest good.  If you’re analyzing to help make positive changes in your life, allow yourself to purge your emotions or have a 5 minutes pity party and then move toward positive change in a productive manner.

Liking yourself, loving yourself, and accepting yourself exactly as you are right now, are powerful messages that influence the types and quality of conversations you have with yourself.  Make your mind a powerful point of creation rather than a sadistic haven where you relive past failures.  Here’s how you begin to initiate that change:

  1. Set your intention for how you want to think, feel, and act.  I remember in the sixth grade I was very shy.  I wanted to be popular and more outgoing.  I specifically set my mind to being more of an extrovert that year.  I practiced smiling in the mirror.  I took a risk and started talking to people.  I invited new friends to my house to play.  Within six months I had a whole host of new friends.  This all happened in the mind of a 12 year old girl.  If she can do it, so can you.

Law of Attraction in Action

As I packed for my workshop in Toronto a day earlier than normal (Mario calls me ‘Last Minute Lucy’), I realized, at 10:00 at night — two days before my flight –that my passport had expired.

Oh no! Now what was I going to do?

I stopped everything (because what’s the point of finishing packing if I can’t get through customs, right?) and went online to see what I could do.

Lo and behold, if I traveled within the next two weeks and had proof (which I did), I could go to to the Department of State’s Boston office because they have the authority to prepare Passports on site.

Yes!

They also allowed me to use their 24-hour appointment scheduling service to schedule my appointment. So I did. The next available appointment was 8:30 the next morning.

Woo Hoo!

I had all the documentation I needed, except I didn’t have any passport photos. I called CVS and Walgreens and their photo departments closed at 10pm. I was too late. I looked online for a 24-hour passport photo service, with no luck. [Read more…]

20 Seconds Makes Your Heart Beat Stronger

couple intimate dinnerI recently had a coaching call with one of my clients, Doris, from the UK who was feeling a bit remorseful about having to spend another birthday alone. (By the way, if you’re reading this – Happy Birthday!) She desperately wanted to meet her man and have him take her out to a lovely dinner – where they would dress up, go to a nice place, and she could feel the romantic connection with her life partner on her special day.

I asked her where she would want him to take her, and she mentioned a restaurant by the sea she wanted to try. I suggested that she may want to affirm the presence of her man coming to her by making a reservation, dressing up, and taking herself out to that place this year – to more concretely imagine the experience with him. I recommended she could invite a girlfriend to join her on her romantic experience if she didn’t want to eat alone.

Be the Love you are Looking for

RosesObviously you survived another Valentine’s Day. Are you feeling lonely because you didn’t have anyone to share it with? Do you wish you could have received flowers like all your other lucky girlfriends? Or would you just be happy to find your man no matter what he ended up doing for you on V-Day?

I know how you’re feeling because I was there too. Often, I would pick up flowers for myself to help me feel good, so I could simply enjoy their beauty. I always bought exactly what I wanted and imagined it was my man giving them to me.

Mario didn’t buy me flowers this Valentine’s Day, but I’m ok with that because he did make me breakfast in bed. He told me told me that any day could be Valentine’s Day and we could celebrate any time and any way that we wanted. I told him that every day is Valentine’s Day with him because I never know when he’s going to surprise me. [Read more…]

Allowing Yourself to be Who You Truly Are – Carol S.

At age 58 and 15 years past my divorce, I was ready to begin a serious relationship again, but found that a frustrating experience.  Into my life bounces Stacy Corrigan who had a clear vision and a tested plan to share that shifted my search from the perfect man for me to the ideal match to me.  Manifest Your Man® is about allowing yourself to be who you truly are, and shedding the layers of your own personal negative beliefs (often sub-conscious and not necessarily just about poor body image) that keep your ideal match from being drawn to you.  And, simultaneously, the world around you gets more joyful and abundant sweeping you into a wonderful upward spiral.  Life and love...it all feels so do-able now.  Ironically, Manifest Your Man® manifested the authentic woman in me!

I Feel More Ready to Meet My Man – Pat Hastings

I participated in the Manifest Your Man conference calls hosted by Stacy Corrigan.  I enjoyed them very much, especially having the opportunity to share similar thoughts and feelings with the other women on the calls.   Stacy’s patience, along with her knowledge and personal experience of finding her man moved me forward and I feel more ready to meet my man.  What I particularly liked was the EFT coaching she did with me on the phone.  I saw an immediate shift just a few days later when I went to a dance and interacted with the men. I felt sexy and more open to play. Thank you Stacy.  Pat Hastings Author of ‘Simply a Woman of Faith’ Providence, RI

Here is my story in a nutshell…

One day in May 2005, I was five months away from being married to my ex-fiance’. Then, after fours years of being together, he woke up and said to me that he did NOT want to be married. I was nearly 37 years old and was devastated to think that I may never have a family to call my own.I spent the next 6 months grieving the relationship and mending my broken heart. Then, through extensive research and testing my methods (on myself first), I developed my Manifest Your Man® process. This ultimately led to me manifesting my man, Mario, three years ago. [Read more…]
