Gifts from Your Relationships

gift box“Once the mind is expanded it cannot ever return to its original form or dimension.”  ~Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.

The purpose of each relationship is to take you a little further on your emotional healing journey.  We came to the planet to learn and sort out a bunch of stuff and to make our way back to the ultimate truth which is the knowledge that all there is, is Love.  Unfortunately, we chose to forget this fact and we venture out on a quest to return to that state.

Relationships are all that matter in the world because on your death bed no one wishes they worked more, rather they wish they had more time with the ones they love.  I know I’m probably hitting a spot of intense pain for you if you are not in a relationship at this time of year, however, you have many meaningful relationships in your life right now if you’ll acknowledge them.

First and foremost, there is your relationship with yourself. How have you improved over the years?  What are you proud of having accomplished?  What do you like about yourself?  I have taught for years to make a success list of things that you feel good about accomplishing and my man Mario did it for himself this year without me prodding him to. He is learning success principles as he overhears me working with others.  Make sure you use this time to reflect only on the positive aspects of your life.  If you need to have a pity party, then limit the time to five minutes and then get right back to your writing down positive things about yourself and your life.

Why do women settle for frogs?

Frog PrinceHow many frogs have you kissed in your lifetime?  Mario and I have a joke that it took me kissing over 100 frogs to find him.  There’s nothing wrong with kissing frogs, but why do women stay in mediocre or even abusive relationships?  Why do we settle for so much less than we deserve?

Times are changing but it wasn’t that long ago when women were taught to be subservient to men.  We were expected to cater to a man’s needs in the kitchen, living room, and bedroom.  Even though women have elevated their status in society, this acquiescent behavior extends to the boardroom, even today, as we still aren’t earning equal pay for equal work.

We were also taught not to speak up to our parents; therefore, many of us don’t have a voice in relationships because we are often dating a person who reminds us of one parent or the other. If a man speaks up for himself he’s considered confident.  If a woman asserts her position she’s a Bitch.  Isn’t it interesting however, that many men will not assert themselves in a relationship, but will make the situation so terrible that women’s hands are forced to do the dirty work? Even if a man is making our lives miserable, many of us still stay in the relationship, why is that?

I believe there are many possible reasons we subject ourselves to relationship torture: [Read more…]

Anatomy of a Success Story

My friend and client, Amanda, whom I spoke of last month, manifested her man about two years ago and they married this past June.  They have an amazing blended family similar to the Brady Bunch, but a bit smaller (check out their photo below).  Amanda shared with me at breakfast last month the things she felt most worked for her to help her Manifest her Man and I’ll be sharing them with you now.

article photoAmanda had an extremely emotional break up prior to meeting Jack.  One where her greatest fears of abandonment played themselves out as if she were experiencing a real life nightmare.  Despite the pain, devastation, sadness, and feelings of betrayal, she said she was grateful that Mike* left, because she never would have left him, and that would not have been for her highest good. 

It’s incredible when someone can heal, forgive, and then feel gratitude to such a degree that is 180 degree turn around of how she felt just a short time before.  I am so proud of Amanda for having the courage to face her demons head on.  I know it wasn’t easy for her.  This is an area where I find many of my clients get tripped up – they aren’t willing to do the work on themselves it takes in order to become better versions of themselves so they can attract a better relationship.

Amanda, and all my other clients who have found their true love, are proof that the process works and there is no getting around looking at your issues in order to move past the bad relationships you continue to attract.  So here’s a list of the things Amanda did for herself that Summer that set the wheels in motion to bring Jack into her life.  She: [Read more…]

Healing your Heartaches

Clearing up emotional wounds from the past so you can attract love into your life Now!

Healing HeartOne of the most frequent things I observe when working with clients is their lack of willingness to face the pain and trauma of the one thing that trips them up most when looking for love – their childhood.   It’s understandable to a degree since we’re programmed to move toward pleasure and away from pain; however our soul came here for the experience of the contrast of our existence, and to find our way back to peace.  The choice to remain mired in the pain of our childhood wounds keeps us stuck.  When the pain of staying stuck becomes greater than the pain of pushing through and Healing your Heartaches, you will do the work and change, which will allow you to finally attract the high quality love you’ve been looking for, for so long.

How do You Like Your Eggs?

runaway brideRemember the movie Runaway Bride with Julia Roberts and Richard Gere?  There’s a breakfast scene where Richard Gere asks Julia Roberts what kind of eggs she likes.  Her response is “Whatever you’re having.”  She had no clue how she liked her eggs because she always ate them however the man she was with at the time ate them.  He said “No, what kind of eggs do you like?”  And they proceeded to try all the different ways one could eat eggs, until she decided for herself that she preferred eggs benedict.

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…]

I know my man is close now – Thank you Stacy!

Karen VagoIt took me quite some years after my divorce to see things clearly. It took 2 relationships after that to see clearly what I do want. I wouldn’t go back to those types of relationships for anything in the world. I am happier alone. (I know my man is very close now!!!) Thank you Stacy!
