Money used to make me feel like crap.

Well, really I let it make me feel like crap.

As much as I wanted to not have anything to do with it, money sure kept running my life.

(Funny how that works. What you pay attention to grows….. even when it’s what you don’t want. In fact, the principle seems to work even greater when you’re trying to get away from something.)

As a spiritual quester, I didn’t want to focus on the material.

As a value-driven person, I didn’t want to lose sight of what really matters.

As a change agent, I didn’t want to be part of the old system that is NOT life-giving.

(I associated money with that system. So, no thanks!)

While my ideals were in the right place, the truth is I felt out of control when it came to money.

Helpless.

Denial proved to be a dead end. (I really thought that just shoving my bills in a box for a few months would make them disappear.)

Down on my knees, I declared I would not tolerate money drama any longer.

So I got radically honest with myself.

Then, a revelation…

Scarcity was a way to play small. Money stress was a distraction from my bigger purpose.

After that “get real” moment, I knew I needed a totally different approach.

Einstein said you cannot solve a problem at the same level of consciousness that created it.

Looking at the consciousness that led to my money problems, it was clear that my dominant consciousness with money was FEAR.

I wasn’t going to get out of the scarcity reality that was created by fear by feeling more fear!

Then. It dawned on me.

I had spent over 15 years immersed in my spiritual path. Vision quests. Sweat lodges. Solo retreats.

There was nothing about my approach to money that honored my spirituality. Money was separate from that.

And THAT was the problem.

From there, I vowed to make money sacred in my life.

I began by asking a question…

What could money show me that would help me heal?

That was a turning point. Everything changed.

I doubled my income.

Then tripled it.

I went from anxiety about paying rent to 6 figures.

In addition to making money a part of my spirituality, my accelerated success came from another vow I made:

To teach whatever I was shown. Whatever worked, I would reveal with you.

So here I am. Sharing with you.

START HERE:

1) Decide to no longer tolerate money pain, stress and anxiety.
2) Choose to make money part of your spiritual path.
3) Ask, “What could money show me that would help me heal?”

Then, listen. Write. And take action on the guidance you are given.

If this approach intrigues you and you’re ready to be liberated from the money trap.

If you want to know how to transform your money & freedom forever.

WAHOOOO!

I’m LOVING 2014.

Speaking of love… I know February brings it out with all the hoo-ha. I’m not much into mainstream holiday’s, but I sure do love LOVE!

I thought it’d be a perfect time to talk about my new love affair with money. And how you can have one, too!

You’ll have to read on to know what I mean. It’s probably not what you think.

What it IS is a radical approach (well, I think it’s quite natural) to money that brings more of it with ease and grace.

Here’s to your extraordinary success!

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

You want to attract more money?

Love it.

Have a big passionate love affair with it.

Get all hot and steamy with it.

Well, maybe not that, but DO choose love.

Notice…you may be feeling resistance about now.

Take a breath. Because what I am sharing will
be a game-changer for your finances if you
allow it to be.

I’m guessing you want a whole new relationship
with money. (Let me hear your CHEER!)

One where you feel you can count on it.

And you feel free with it.

Money flows abundantly and with ease.

You feel secure.

Ommmmmm. Can’t you feel the harmonic love?

I’m SERIOUS.

Here’s the deal…

I used to fear, resent and resist money.

There always seemed to be “just enough” and
I often found myself preoccupied by money
worries. I would get so frustrated because
all I wanted to do was be of service!

Yet I still struggled with money, which
distracted me from a bigger purpose.

One time when I was having a big cry fest
over my money woes, I had a revelation.

It dawned on me that I was in a love/hate
relationship with money and that I was
the source of my money problems, NOT
money.

See, I had made it money’s fault.
Damn that money!
It sucks.
It’s evil.
It’s the reason there are so many issues on the planet.

Then I got it.

I was giving mixed messages. Telling it
I wanted more of it in one breath and then
cursing it in the next.

To attract more money – or anything you
desire – you have to provide clear messages.

You can see the trouble I was in.

MOST likely, you have this love/hate
jig going on.

(HINT: If you don’t have the money freedom
you want – that is to do what you want when
you want – I can confidently say you are
struggling in this dance.)

What can you do about it?

1) See it for what it is.

Become aware of your thoughts and beliefs
about money. As you think them, write them
down. Create a “log” of your money thoughts
for 7 days, and you will clearly see the
dominant beliefs at play.

Notice the spectrum and objectively see
how you are creating a ripple of manifestation
that is unfulfilling because of your thoughts.

2) Embrace that money is not the problem.

Your mindset is.

Stop making money bad, absent, hard and
a struggle. It’s not about money. It’s about your
mindset, and ultimately about your power to
create and shape reality as you desire.

3) Commit to holding money in a higher light.

You can’t expect more money to come to
you and have negative feelings about it at
the same time.

Imagine money being FOR you. A positive
life force that uplifts and supports you.
An energy that wants to serve you.

Doesn’t that feel good? Trust me, when you
feel good about something, you are more
attractive to it!

4) LOVE money.

Let me be clear here. I’m not talking ego love.
That has its limits. Including a “you complete
me” kind of construct that will keep you feeling
like something is missing if it’s not there.

And I’m not talking about the kind of love
of money where you lose sight of what is
essential and meaningful. It’s not about
a continual quest to fill a void or acquire
more stuff.

I’m advocating a SOULful love affair.

One where you see the value of its flow with
great regard and appreciation. One where you
come together in partnership to serve your
purpose. One where you experience more of
your inner riches simply by opening your
heart to the love of money.

Love is one of the highest vibrations on the
planet. I guarantee it will heal and empower
your relationship with money… if you allow it.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

WAHOOOO!

I’m preparing for the San Diego Retreat for 8 of my fabulous coaching clients.

One way I prepare?

Play in nature.

I had so much fun at the beach at one of my favorite parks in Seattle the other day. ===>

Nature is my temple. My church. My medicine.  I am grateful.

Say… there are just a few days in January remaining.

At this point, let’s get honest.

Your actions and habits this month are a reflection of how serious you are about results this year.

Honestly look at what you’ve done toward your intentions and goals for 2014. You will quickly be able to assess if you were just interested or really are committed.

Right?

Well, if you want to re-commit right now, do so. (I’m here CHEERING YOU ON!)

And, if you want more proven tips to make sure you manifest more of what you truly desire in 2014, read on…

1) Take Full Responsibility Of Your Happiness, Prosperity & Results

You are the creator…the one you’ve been waiting for. Use your power.

Nobody else is responsible for your success. NO ONE.

Don’t complain. Don’t tell your story about the past for attention.
Don’t blame. Don’t feel sorry for yourself. Don’t try to get others to change.
Don’t wait for circumstances to change.

DO take 100% responsibility.

2) Get Crystal Clear About What You Want

No vague dreaming or wishing. Commit it to paper.

3) Be Bold In Your Asking

Come on, stop settling!

Put it out there.
Be audacious.

4) Spend More Time Contemplating Your Dreams Than Your Doubts

What you pay attention to grows.

Build your dreams by nurturing them, feeling them, visualizing them, talking
about them, journaling about them, meditating on them.

The moment doubt creeps in, wave to it with a friendly gesture of understanding and move on (Or, just tell it to F*** off. But I find that fierce love is the most powerful medicine).

Be vigilant at the gateway of your mind.

5) FEEL It

What you really long for is the feeling behind the money, the experience, the manifestation.  Identify that feeling first. And then choose to feel it NOW rather than stay in the illusion that once you have “the thing”, you will feel what you want.

Spend time every day feeling how you want to feel. Before you know it, you will attract the experiences and manifestations you desire that are in line with the feelings (Yes, this works with money!).

6) Uplevel Your Mindset

You’ve got to have a mindset to match what you want. No exceptions.

Look at your goals and identify clearly what kind of mindset would match
that reality.

For example, I had a revelation some years ago when I wanted to make 6 figures that I really did not have the right mindset for it! I got real with myself and then made a list of the kind of thoughts that I believed a 6 figure woman entrepreneur would think. And then I thought them. Over and over.

7) Take Consistent Inspired Action

Stop over thinking, procrastinating and perpetually getting “ready”.

Let the inspiration of creative intelligence and purpose infuse you and ride the wave of action that is necessary to implement.

And remember, that’s CONSISTENT action (Not spurts here and there).

8) Engage Daily Practices That Maintain Your High Vibration & Focus

What you repeat, you become. It’s all about the little things you do day to day.

9) Invest In High-Powered Biz & Money Tools*

Investing in the right support to ensure you put your attention on the priorities that are proven to work is a must.

*My 2014 Biz & Money Acceleration Seminars are available for less than $100/month. Offer expires January 29!  http://www.kendrathornbury.com/bizandmoney

10) Become Magnetic

I’m all about working smarter, not harder.

One of the ways to do this is to become a magnet for what you want. Let it come to you. Don’t try so hard to “make” it happen.

You want more clients? Position yourself so that they come to you.

This involves being the kind of person your clients want to pay to solve their problems. It also means implementing the right business & marketing strategies
so that you draw them to you.

(I will be presenting “Creating Magnetism” in the Biz & Money Acceleration Seminar January 29. I will cover more spiritual AND practical tips to attracting clients and money.)

11) Do What It Takes

No explanation needed.

Just do it.

“There is nothing you cannot be, or do or have. You are a magnificent creator. Go forth giving attention to what you are wanting. It is through focusing what you want that you attract it.”

~Abraham-Hicks

How’s your new year going?

You clear and on track for the BEST year yet?

Mine is fantastic.

I feel a refreshing infusion of energy.

With this infusion comes a NEW TEAM MEMBER!

Yesterday I enthusiastically welcomed another talented woman to my company.

OH BABY! 2014 expansion is full-on and fast.

(HINT: Move at the speed of inspiration.)

If you haven’t identified your intentions & visions for 2014…what are you waiting for?

CLARITY IS POWER.

My last article continues to receive raving emails and comments on social media.

It includes a GIFT for your 2014 Manifestation Process + Pages from my Personal Journal.

PLUS… I’ve included one of my FAVORITE exercises below. It’s simple, fun and lines you right up with what you want. Check it out:

“Wouldn’t It Be Nice If….”

As you continue to affirm the reality and experiences you desire, to become that which you envision being….you must keep your attention on what you want.

Unfortunately, many of you still have trouble unleashing your dreams and playing in the infinite realm of possibilities.

You were taught …

• It’s selfish to want more
• It’s not practical to dream big
• It’s not realistic to expect things to work out & be prosperous

Sometimes it takes a little more to loosen the grip on limit thinking.

This exercise is a great way to solve this problem. It helps you freely get into the possibilities mindset and away from the “how’s”.

All you do is write, “Wouldn’t It Be Nice If…..” and simply let your pen go wild on the paper. (No editing.)

Here’s an example to get your juices flowing.

Wouldn’t It Be Nice To….

1) Know joy, peace and freedom at my core.
2) Serve millions in being fully alive and flourishing.
3) Know that I’ve lived each day with full presence and capacity.
4) Dream bigger each new day than I did the day before.
5) Write and sell my best selling books.
6) Be in true prosperity, feeling my sense of plenty all the time.
7) Experience the creative flow with ease and abundance.
8) Have an abundance of money from multiple sources of income that ensures I easily tend to all my responsibilities and aspirations, including giving generously to humanitarian causes.
9) Live in gratitude every moment.
10) Elevate my status as an internationally known expert and sought after coach and speaker.
11) Feel the vitality and strength of my healthy body.
12) Experience the unwavering clarity and faith in connection to source/Spirit.
13) Travel to new cultures and expand my lens.
14) Have a couple of vacations with deep relaxation and fun.
15) Enjoy quality time with family and friends.
16) Be in the power of nature regularly.
17) Feel my bliss.
18) Experience a nourishing, playful, extraordinary relationship with my partner.
19) Become a greater expression of love, light, compassion and all the qualities of the Divine source that uplifts, elevates, and expands us all to wholeness and oneness.
20) Always reside in my knowing that that I am an expression of the Divine.

WOW!~ I could keep going. It’s fun! Try it out.

Exercise your “nice to” muscles so that you become a savvy manifestor… flowing with ease in the consciousness of what you desire.

DREAM ON!

________________________________________________________________

WAHOOOO!

The new year has arrived.

And with it…. the sense of infinite possibility.

It’s really going to be a phenomenal year!

Can’t you feel it?

Okay, so here’s the deal.

I want to help you optimize this doorway.

Otherwise you’ll get caught in the trap of the
temporary motivation that comes with the newness,
but never really gain traction on your goals
and intentions. (Let’s create real results, baby!)

You CAN have what you want!

• Meaningful work and clients you adore
• Time freedom (do what you want, when you want!)
• Travel to places you’ve always dreamed of
• Purposeful money creation
• Abundance galore

So, let me give you a glimpse into my New
Years Visioning Extravaganza to help make
it easy for your abundant manifestations in 2014.

I’ll start by sharing a page from my personal journal.

Here was my process:

• 20 minute silent meditation
• 15 minute guided visualization
• 45 minute journaling

So, here’s the key…

CLARITY.

Seriously, clarity.

Just one hour of deliberate downloading
and planning can create a year of
accomplishments and incredible
manifestations that will make your soul
soar!

It’s NOT that complicated.

To be a magnetic force that draws to you
what you desire…

To identify the specific actions required
to manifest….

You must be EXACTING in your asking.

That’s good. Exacting in your asking.

No wishy-washy-wanting.

For example…

Don’t stay with vaguely wanting more money.

Declare you intend to double your income.

Speaking of doubling your income, if you are
ready to do that in 2014, I can show you how.
There are 3 spots left in the Wealthy Goddess Coaching
Program.

So, here’s my homework for you:

• Carve out an hour
• Meditate, visualize and journal
• Do not edit or be apologetic
• Be bold and audacious
• Choose 3-5 core over-arching intentions for the year
• Write your vision for each area
• Use present tense language (key manifesting secret!)

For example, one of my core 2014 intentions=PROSPEROUS SERVICE.

Another picture from my journal…

See how I used present tense, aka I AM language?

Got it? Get it done!

Would love to hear from you to witness your visions and intentions.

______________________________________________________

Honestly?

I’m ready to put 2013 to rest!

Quite frankly, 2013 kicked my ass.

Don’t get me wrong.

I’ve had truly extraordinary times.

However, I would say this year stands out
as one of the hardest in my adult life.

I’m not so naive to think that blissing out on all the new year
hoopla is going to make the challenges of 2013 go away.

My enthusiasm for the new year really is not about running
away from it all. I don’t have anything to hide or avoid or
resist.

In fact, that was part of the kick ass nature of my year.

There was no hiding, no avoiding, no resisting. It was a FULL
ON be-you-get-real-get-humble-come-out-of-the-shadows
kind of year.

What I know to be true is that moving forward requires
you to deliberately evaluate lessons and give thanks.

Otherwise, the hype of the new year will quickly wear off as
the default of the so-called-hidden stuff under the surface
rears its head again.

In service to moving forward with intention and in gratitude
(and modeling to you what it can look like), I’m capturing
some of my highlights and lessons of 2013…

BELIZE BABY

I was so proud of myself to leap into a commitment
that most people would think is crazy. I invested a very large sum
of moola to work with a prominent high-end coach. We kicked off
the year on a private island in Belize.

It was a mind-blowing experience on many levels.

A key lesson for me was in receiving.

As I enjoyed this sweet villa resting on the oceans edge,
I smacked up against some upper limits.

I felt selfish for being there.
I felt like I was asking for too much when my private butler would come
around and provide me with my personal requests (I did love those
shrimp cocktail!)

There it was, another layer of unworthiness.

I welcomed the awareness, as I know that liberation from limits
comes through the light of realization.

I let myself squirm in the discomfort.
I chose to release loyalty to deprivation.
I said yes to loving myself and to having more.

The heart of work we did there set a core & profound
unraveling into motion. More on that later…

I also celebrated my first international VIP Intensive with
a client. Here we are after a snorkeling excursion I took
her on.

GUATEMALA

From Belize I flew to Guatemala where I spent time in
and around Antigua.

What a juxtaposition– from opulence to poverty.

I intended it that way so that I could expand my
capacity to be in the spectrum. To allow more abundance,
yet stay humbled in the awareness of how too many of
our brothers and sisters on the planet still live in scarcity.

It was rewarding to be there in support of a mission for
an organization that my mom is a board member of,
Common Hope.

I got to see her shine in her leadership. And I got to
contribute to the worthy cause. This included helping
build a house for a family as well as meeting children
whose education we sponsor.

Such gratitude for this heart-opening journey.

BLACK OUT

From Guatemala I went to Tucson, Arizona and stayed
with my mom for a few weeks. Upon our return, she
got really sick from a virus picked up while away.

I cared for her between clients. Despite my diligent
self-care, I did end up catching it.

It was a doozy.

Fever, body aches, and other not-so-pleasant-aspects
that I’ll spare you the details of.

One day, I was in the bathroom and felt light headed.

The next thing I knew I was re-orienting myself, trying
to get my bearings.

I realized that I had lost consciousness.

I was lying on the floor with my face in blood.

I had fallen.
My nose was bleeding.
My lip was cracked open.
I had chipped off part of my front tooth.

Long story short, this development brought
back a part of my life from just over 20
years ago– my diagnosis of Epilepsy.

There have been a couple more occurrences
this year of black outs, which really
brought me face-to-face with my mortality
in a way I’ve never experienced.

For the first time in my life I felt a
kind of urgency previously unknown to me.

I even heard the voice, “I’m not ready to die!”
after one of my blackouts.

I felt deeply unsettled at times as
I navigated this new terrain.

While it was difficult to be with the
feelings that were stirred for me, I
am grateful for the new found regard
I have for life.

For it has always been a drive of mine
to live an awake, fulfilled, on purpose
life. And if there was ANY part of me
holding back or playing safe, this year
and my challenges with my health were
a sure-fire way to get me back fully in
the game.

Life is precious. I welcome the passion
ignited from the awareness of my finite
time in this body.

UNSTOPPABLE GALA

Okay, now this one was significant to me because
it’s been a long time in the making.

I’m in business for 2 reasons:

1) Lifestyle- To have the freedom to create a lifestyle I love.
2) Legacy- To have the influence and impact to create
meaningful and positive change.

The first few years of my business were my “oh-shit-
can-I-really-do-this-I-need-clients-now-to-pay-bills”?
years.

The following years were my “holy-shit-it’s-happening-
I’m-making-great-money-and-living-my-dream”!

Now, I have the leverage to take it beyond that and
give even more.

I have a strong humanitarian part of me, and ultimately,
my big mission is to eradicate poverty on the planet.

To step into this mission in a bigger way, I sponsored
the Unstoppable Gala, a big fundraiser led by Cynthia
Kersey.

It was extraordinary!

SHADOW INTEGRATION

I mentioned earlier that when I was on the island in
Belize, a profound unraveling was put into motion.

See, many people want to live the good life.
They want to be free.

Yet, they don’t walk through one of the gateways
to arrive there- THE SHADOW.

Shadow work is not new to me. I’ve done quite a
bit through the years. I teach it in my Medicine
of Money program and to some of my private clients.

My coach had challenged me- in his remarkable truth
telling ways – to accept parts of me that I hadn’t
recognized I was rejecting.

The parts that I thought would make me unlovable
or unacceptable to others.

This included my sexuality.

True to my path, I went full in.

Whew!

The mirror kept revealing.

Things I thought I had grown out of. Judgments that
I thought I was too enlightened to have.

I got in touch with and released deep shame.

This work has had a profound effect on me.
I feel more integrated, whole, accepting
and solid in who I am.

KAUAI

There’s not much to say here other than
that I LOVE Kauai! I had to put this on
my list because it was such a juicy highlight.

I went with one of my business play partners,
Lindsay A Miller, for a couple of weeks.

We scouted places to host clients (I do
plan on leading retreats there!).

We ate the BEST fish tacos ever.

We helped a few clients uplevel their business
and brand platform.

And… we simply enjoyed the sweet aloha
spirit and lavish goodness of stunning beaches
and mama ocean.

SEDONA

I just wanted to add this because I absolutely
LOVE this picture — a capture of empowered,
liberated women during my Wealthy Goddess
Mastermind Retreat in August.

I am honored and grateful to do what I love.

SURRENDER AND ANXIETY

From Sedona I headed to Boise for an
unexpected trip to be with family.

While I pride myself on transparency, there are aspects
of what transpired this fall for me that are so raw and
vulnerable, I am not ready (or may never be) to divulge
the details.

But what I do want you to know is that something
happened that brought me to my knees.

I felt like everything was falling apart.

Yeah, I get it. Breakdown to breakthrough.
It’s always darkest before the dawn.

I’ve heard it. I’ve experienced it. I’ve taught it.

Yet, something SO deep and core in me was rattled that
I actually couldn’t get a perspective on this one for
a while.

It was a continuation of my shadow work.
It was unresolved little girl work.
It was another round of the “healers journey”.

For a period of about 7 weeks, I was totally out
of my self. I felt like I had been stripped of me.

I wasn’t sleeping, had nausea and on a number
of occasions actually had anxiety attacks.

Compassion and surrender were my teachers.

I was radically humbled.

I felt like on some level I had died.

While I am certain I have crossed the threshold
from the darkest of the dark, I am still
feeling the ripples.

I trust the integration for my highest,
and for the highest of the purpose I am
here to serve.

What I am confident of is that it has made
me a better person, more congruent and more
connected than ever before.

MONTEREY BAY

I’ll be short and sweet on this celebration.

In November I led my first larger gathering
of women, Wealthy Goddess LIVE.

I was so in my sweet spot!

It felt like a culmination of years of my career.

We raised $12,000 for the Unstoppable Foundation.

We raised our wealth consciousness with high vibe music.

Women left equipped to lead their dream come true
money-making businesses.

NOW

Through the dark night.

I am content.
In Seattle.
Just ate a raw cacao ball.
Exploring a deepening in relationship.
Restored with a greater strength and purpose than ever.

On fire for a most fabulous and successful 2014.

What can I say?

I love manifesting.

So much so that I’ve devoted a large portion of my life to the study of it.

2013 was an extraordinary year of manifestations.

Here I am in Kauai ====>

A stellar manifestation, indeed!

It is my great joy to reveal what I’ve discovered over the years with you.

As you near the new year and sense all the potential just bursting to come through, I ENCOURAGE you to be bold and audacious in your asking.

I’ve written an article so you accelerate your manifesting and get more of what you want faster.

WAHOOO!

=================

(1) Set the Consciousness Tone

As within, so without.

Everything you experience is a result of your consciousness, your mindset.

To accelerate your manifesting, deliberately choose where you come from when you set your intentions and goals.

Ultimately, what you want is a feeling that comes with an experience, right?

For instance, you want more money because you want security and freedom.

You don’t want the THING, you want the feeling that (you think) it will bring you.

With that in mind, you have to understand that it’s your consciousness that puts the experience into motion, not the circumstance.

So, when you attempt to make more money because you feel anxious about not having it, even if you make more, you still will not get the feeling you wanted from it. Because the FEELING, the seed of consciousness you planted, is what is produced.

Instead, set a powerful intention such as:

“I will make more money out of the joy of my purpose because I am aware of the opportunities I create for myself and others.”

… now THAT is an entirely different consciousness that will create an entirely different quality of experience!

(2) Declare Your Vision

I ask women what their vision is.

If you could have it any way you want it… your juiciest, most alive version of business and money…what would it be?

MOST women dominate their answer with telling me about “how it has been”, what they are frustrated about and how they are stuck!

Just today, I said to a woman, “I didn’t ask you about what’s been going on or your frustrations. I asked you about your vision! Go again, and I don’t want to hear ANYTHING about your struggles.”

Unfortunately, this is a result of our conditioning. You have forgotten how to dream.

Give yourself permission! What do you want? What do you REALLY want?

Be bold. Be audacious.

Get clear.

Then declare it.

Wishing and wanting just keep you in a state of wishing and wanting.

You’ve got to decide. Full on.

“Cherish your vision and your dreams as they are the children of your soul, the blueprints of your ultimate achievements.” ~Napoleon Hill

(3) Deal with Fear & Doubt

Sheesh! You are still letting your fears stop you?

Here is a 3 step process that works to turn that around fast:

1) Recognize your fear and doubts – You actually want to become familiar with them so you are immediately aware when they arise. Versus… being in denial about them and trying to push them away, which is a sure-fire way to create shadows that creep in and run your life in unconscious ways.

2) Clear them – Pack your tool bag with goodies to help clear the emotional and energetic charge. Some of my favorites= Sage, EFT, Breathwork, Sweatlodge

3) Replace them – Your subconscious does not know the difference between dream and reality. You tell it there’s something to be scared of, it will believe you. You tell it life is grand and joyous, it will believe you. You have the power to replace your fears. Just create thoughts that are the opposite of your fears. For instance, if you are afraid there isn’t enough money and you are all torn up inside with stress about it. Start saying,

“There is plenty for me, my family and everyone on the planet. I am always provided for. Everything I desire is made easily and abundantly available to me.”

(4) Act As If

When you decide and commit 100% to what you want, act in accordance with that reality.

For instance, when I wanted to go to Kauai to play, make videos and host VIP clients this summer, I started acting like I was going.

I bought a book about Kauai.
I researched places to stay.
I gazed at beautiful pictures of the beach.
I started telling people I was going.

This was ALL before the resources and logistics were in place.

Task= Identify what actions you would take if you knew you were going to manifest what you want. And then do them! Now, not later.

(This is a serious game changer. You will soon discover that there are A LOT more ways you can be manifesting more quickly by acting as if.)

(5) BEcoming

Ultimately, manifesting comes from who you BE, not what you DO.

While I HIGHLY encourage and hold my clients accountable to consistent action, they don’t mean much if they are not grounded in vibration of being that lines you up with what you desire.

You can take all kinds of action, but if you are out of alignment, it will just be “busy-work”.

It’s one of the reasons you may still be struggling to get what you want. You’re discouraged because you think you are doing “all the right things”.

It is much more efficient and effective to BE a vibrational match to your manifestations and take action from there.

You want to speed up your manifestations? Trust me, BE more. And only take action when you are clear and have set the consciousness tone.

GREETINGS Magnificent One!

I’m still in the “after glow” of Wealthy Goddess LIVE.

During this time of thanksgiving, I’m so aware of my bountiful blessings…

Including getting to empower women through my soul’s purpose.

Gratitude is one of my manifesting power tools, so I’ve written an article to help you leverage it for greater abundance and wealth.

The quality of your life, your business and yes, even your money, can completely shift through the power of gratitude.

Read on for “The Abundant Power of Gratitude”.

=============================================

To live a life you are genuinely thankful for is among the greatest of human achievements.

I believe gratitude is one of the highest principles you can live by. A higher principle aligns you with the highest and best; it has supreme value and is life affirming. A higher principle naturally connects you to a greater Source, Spirit, God/Goddess.

By connecting with gratitude, you are connecting with your true essence and Spirit. You cannot sit in gratitude and be disconnected from your core or from Spirit.

Many people give thanks for conditional reasons. Don’t get me wrong, saying thank you is never wasted breath. Yet most give thanks when certain things occur. As such, the state of gratitude is contingent on outward circumstances and events.

While I support the powerful pause of thank you regardless of the circumstances, I want to transport you to another place of possibility with this. Try it on.

Gratitude is a state of being. One that will take you to new heights and dimensions of joy and abundance.

Curious? Let’s start with looking at the word gr(atitude). Embedded in the word is, “attitude”.

The dictionary defines attitude as a mental state stemming from beliefs, feelings, values and dispositions that cause us to act in certain ways. Your attitude shapes your actions, which shapes your experience, which shapes your results. Don’t you want an attitude that shapes the most fulfilling life possible? You choose.

An attitude of gratitude is a state of mind or a particular mode, or state, of being.

This state of being is an ongoing, unshakable way that mirrors a greater understanding of the purpose and divine plan that you are a part of. It is grounded in trust for the process of life and an inner knowing that all is well.

You acknowledge what is just because it is, not because something in particular does or does not happen. You decide to live in this state simply to honor the sacred nature of life and the innate appreciation that accompanies it. It’s the foundation to all experience.

This is about a position in life that is an underpinning to all you perceive, feel and experience. It’s about being genuinely grateful, feeling sincere appreciation for simply being alive.

Gratitude in its deepest sense knows inherent value. Meaning…the value of someone or something simply is because it is. It is intrinsic to its life. It doesn’t have more or less value based on how much it acquires, or how much external validation it gets.

So how would this look in your life, your business, your money?

Everything you see, be, and do would ring with a new quality of aliveness because you know that each moment and every experience has supreme value. Imagine that!

The quality of your life, your business and yes, even your money, can completely shift through the power of gratitude. You can be liberated from stress, know harmony and joy, attract ideal clients, be financially free, and much more—simply by choosing gratitude.

And when you are challenged— by circumstances, money and unexpected stresses—you give thanks. Why? Why would you give thanks for something you don’t want? (If you operate from the Law of Attraction and know that dominant thoughts create reality, why say thanks to challenges? Won’t that attract more of them?)

Here’s the key. When you give thanks for challenge, you are not actually thanking the challenge; you are thanking the lessons offered to you through the challenge.

Remember, gratitude as a state of being reflects an understanding of the purpose and divine plan that you are a part of. You are grounded in trust for the process of life and an inner knowing that all is well. By holding gratitude for the challenges, you trust the wisdom of life and welcome the gifts waiting to be revealed to you.

Here are more benefits of embracing the power of gratitude:

• Inspire optimism– A characteristic that researchers say boosts the immune system.
• Increase alertness, enthusiasm and energy– Studies show daily attention to gratitude increases these qualities.
• Decrease depression and stress– Yep, you guessed it, more research proves this.
• Shift your attitude– An automatic shift toward the best occurs when you choose gratitude.
• Help grow more of what you desire– What we pay attention to grows. Focus on what you want and what works.
• Release the illusion that you don’t really have what you want– If you appreciate what is, you get that the endless struggle for something/somewhere else is just that, a struggle.
• Connect you to Spirit/Source– Sitting with gratitude means sitting with Spirit.
• Promote aliveness and health– Research shows actual physiological changes and well-being is enhanced.
• Keep your attention on what matters most– The heart of what matters is prevalent in all you do and be.
• Put things in perspective– Eradicate drama and victim hood. See life in the larger picture.
• Honor life as it is- Simply honor life for the grand gift it is.
• Breed more reasons for gratitude– Gratitude grows more to be grateful for. Plus it attracts more.
• Ripple kindness in the universe– Feeling grateful creates a ripple. Let’s spread it!
• Teach you how to be content– Know the true meaning of peace and freedom on all levels.
• Allow for magic– Let the magic and mystery of life reveal its treasures.
• Creates wealth – You can’t feel lack and gratitude at the same time.

Life is a gift, truly a magical wonder. How you choose to be – your attitude, position, state – is instrumental to your quality of life and the amount of abundance you allow yourself to receive.

I guarantee that practicing gratitude as a state of being will forever change your life, opening you to the bounty that is your birthright.

Thank you.

I am grateful.

“Leap and the net will appear.”

There’s NO getting around it.

If you want to be the manifestor of a juicy life you love, you need to take leaps.

It’s one of the reasons I “get off” being an entrepreneur. It consistently stretches me and calls me out, keeping me on a thrilling edge. 

I become more of who I am through the terrifying yet exhilarating leaps.

Leaps in beliefs. Leaps in action. Leaps in leaving behind “comfort”. Leaps of faith.

(I took a leap when I went to Kauai this summer to lead VIP client days. Picture of me above at the Napali Coast.)

Read on for game-changing tips to help you take the leap you’re aching for.

And for those of you last-minuters ready to accelerate your business soulfully, take the leap and get your spot to Wealthy Goddess LIVE already!

======

Women confess their longing to build a thriving business, make more money and manifest greater wealth to me all the time. 

Some say they want it BUT…. and follow with the story as to why they can’t have it now.

The thing is, your current reality will always provide evidence that it’s not the right time.

Herein lies one of the secrets of highly successful people. We DO NOT look to circumstances to inform us if it’s possible and to determine what action to take. 

Let’s use Wealthy Goddess LIVE as an example.

Women have been writing me about how much they want to be there.

For the women I challenged to make their decision first and were willing to do so, they had what seemed like miracles occur.

Now, this was a leap for them. They “didn’t have the money” or “didn’t see how it could happen”.

But I assured them. IF you decide, REALLY decide that you WILL be there, the resources will align for you.

So, they trusted. They made their deposit.

And guess what?

Here’s what happened for these 4 women:

• One got her highest paying client ever the day after she committed.
• One attracted a client within the week.
  
• One manifested 2 clients within 2 days.
• One received an unexpected inheritance. 

I tell ya, it works!

But what do you do when the monkey mind is just chattering on about why it can’t happen and you just can’t get past the “reality” of the limits you see?

Here are 3 Tips:

1) Decide from where you want to be, not from where you are.

This revolutionized my success. It’s a game changer!

I attribute doubling and tripling my income at least once to this mindset.

When I shifted to this stance, all kinds of doors opened up.

For instance, when I wanted to go to Bali in 2011, I almost didn’t go because I was looking at my resources from where I was! 

I realized that I needed to think like I WAS going and made the decision. Then the manifesting happened. (Here I am at a sacred temple)

The same has been true for my business.

Every investment I’ve made to uplevel, including working with coaches, has come from where I wanted to be. If I had kept my decisions based on where I was, I would still be getting by month to month.

2) Take action even when you don’t feel ready.

On some level, you will never feel ready.

When I hired my assistant almost 2 years ago, I didn’t feel ready. It felt like a stretch for me financially. And, I was bumping up against my issues regarding receiving support.

But in order to take my business to the next level, I HAD to hire team. I had reached the limit of what I could accomplish alone.

STOP the cycle of always preparing and get used to feeling not fully ready. It’s the nature of a leap.

3) Have faith in a higher power.

You will not be able to SEE what your mind wants to see in order to venture into the next level of abundance or manifestation you desire.

You have to realize that there is an UNSEEN force at play. Only when you believe in it does it work for you.

“When you come to the edge of all that you know, you must believe one of two things: either there will be ground to stand on, or you will be given wings to fly.”
