A Thanksgiving Blessing for You


MP3 File


This morning, I woke up thinking of you.  I thought of how my life has changed because you are in it. 

I thought of how you are creating your Divine work, following your intuition, and bringing that very sacred work out into the world. 

A Divine Birthing, if you will.

And I was filled with gratitude.

Today is Thanksgiving in the US.  And for many of us, while we are busy with family, friends, food and football, we also take the time to truly get present to what is most important:  each other. 

And so I wanted to take a moment to just say:

Thank You. 

Thank you for being a part of my world.

Thank you for sharing this journey with me.

Thank you for your kind feedback and loving words of encouragement

as I share myself with you.

Thank you for your work, for your courage

in bringing your work to the world,

and for your love.

 

 

The world is a better place because you are in it, and because of what you are creating.

And because of that, I wanted to offer you this sweet Thanksgiving blessing that came to me as I was thinking of you.  (A Divine Download, if you will.)

 

A Thanksgiving Blessing for You

May you know the beauty of yourself as others share themselves with you;

May you feel the joy that you bring to others as you help them become free from their own blocks and fears;

May you have the peace and satisfaction that comes from doing the work you are called to do;

May you have the abundance

you so richly deserve for having the courage it takes to stand up and be seen and heard;

May you see the light that you are

as you shine it out

into the world around you; 

and…

 May you experience all the love that you are … in all areas of your life.

 

This is my Thanksgiving wish for you. 

May you know its truth and carry it deep in your heart. 

Have a very Blessed Thanksgiving!

Hugs, Anne

Raw Food, Hay House and You





MP3 File


Last week, on 11/11/11, at yes, 11:11 am, I sat down and wrote out my intentions for the next couple of years.  The moon was full that day, the numbers aligned, and I wanted to take advantage of the creative energies available to me in helping me create the vision for my life.


This morning, I looked at what I wrote, and immediately went into a place of fear.

 

“That’s too big,” I thought. “How can I create that?”

 

(ok, it gets worse)

 

“Who am I to do all of that?  It feels too big.”

 

Ouch.

 

I noticed.  I listened.  And I heard.  That’s my fear talking.  That’s not my place of faith.  I wrote it in a place of faith.  And now I wasn’t feeling so inspired.  Instead, I felt afraid.

 

(By the way, this happens to all of us.  It does.  Really.)

 

I took a deep breath and recognized what was happening.  And then I remembered.


 

Recently, as I was on Facebook, I saw a link to a YouTube channel for The Raw Food Coach.  I clicked on it, and was taken to Karen Knowler (The Raw Food Coach) showing people how to make raw veggie burgers.


 

Now, while I’m not a raw foodist by any stretch, I am fascinated by the concept, and am a (mostly) vegetarian.  (Yeah, I get it – they’re not the same, but I figured I’d get some points anyway.)

 

I was impressed by the professional quality of Karen’s videos.  After one finished, I watched another one.  Then I noticed that she has a book coming out that is being published by my favorite publishing company, Hay House.

 

(This was a fine example of social media marketing, by the way.)

 

Cool.   Hmmm…

 

(I’m getting to the point, I promise)

 

Karen started several years ago as an unknown.  She began coaching with a business coach, who helped her get branded, and who helped her get her message out to the world.  She didn’t start where she is now.

 

She started where most of us start.  With a passion for what we do.  She wanted to make money with her passion.  So she got help.

 

And, damn, look at her now!  Let me just say, You GO, Girl! Truly awesome work and truly awesome results.

 

For all of us, it starts with a passion for our gifts, whether it’s writing, or healing, or speaking, or connecting, or coaching others or uplifting them or guiding them.  And then we see others making money – good money – with their gifts and we think “Oh, wow, I want to do that.”

 

And the hunger builds… until we take action to actually build our dream.

 

So, here’s my question for you:  what action are you taking today to build your dream? What gifts are you aching to bring to the world in a powerful way?  And what steps can you take to do this?

 

Get going!  Your world is waiting for you!

 

Hugs, Anne
