I’ve just “cracked open” a digital galley of Louise Hay’s newest book Experience Your Good Now and I’m already getting inspired. Here’s a quote from the introduction:
“There is no time like the present for you to take control of your thoughts.”
- Louise Hay, Experience Your Good Now
I couldn’t agree more with what Louise Hay has written.

I went on a road trip with my husband today. Being out in nature helped me to remember who I really am: Spirit in a body. I liked hearing this song We Fight, We Love by Q-Tip while driving the mountain roads because the best way for me to connect with my inner wisdom is when I’m out on the road, surrounded by Mother Nature and listening to music.
Enjoy the video, I hope it makes you feel like you’re on an escape from your worries for a minute. Maybe it’s time for you to go on your own getaway? We went to the Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve. It is an easy day trip for anyone in Southern California to take. The fee to get in the Poppy Reserve is $8.00 per car.
I put some of the lyrics to We Fight We Love below if you’d like to sing along.
And it, and it begins, he’s off the ball
He left his friends, he ain’t home no more
He’s in a place, that’s far away
Where he can’t understand what they say
They say salaam, they carry bombs
Into crowded places, and cause alarm
You’re the infidel who’s uninvited
But really an American boy who’s slighted
It ain’t your fault, you want identity
So you join this big fraternity
You get to travel the world, its cheaper than college
And you get guns and you get knowledge
Lookin’ for your soul, and WMD’s
You can’t find nothing, cause its empty
You got your gun, and he’s your friend
And he’s your man, until the end
We fight, we love
Chorus: Raphael Saadiq
We fight and love so much
Sometimes I get confused of who we are
Maybe if we just stop and chat a
bit we’ll find out who we are
If you need help getting in touch with your true nature or if you have something that’s preventing you from being your True self, the book From Sabotage to Success can help you.
My husband, Michael Zampelli has been taking a series of close up photos lately. Today he captured this beautiful image of a hummingbird in still motion. Many people believe that seeing a hummingbird is a special treat and I agree. However, it’s even more of a treat for me to see it this close up. What a beautiful creature this is.
Below is another awe-inspiring close-up, this time of the moon. I’m grateful to live in a time when technology has made it possible to capture and share this image. Enjoy and let it inspire you to wonder about the many ways Life is expressed.
We had a great interview with Gabriel Morris on The Sheri and Erin Show. If you don’t see the player above, you can listen on Blog Talk Radio.
Gabriel Morris talked about his world travels and read from his book Kundalini and the Art of Being. He has many interesting stories to tell.
Gabriel’s motto is, “Explore the World, Without and Within”. To see some of his photos and keep up with his travels, visit his blog at http://gabrielmorris.bravehost.com
I am currently teaching a Helping and Listening Skills class at Long Beach City College. We are using a book on Motivational Interviewing. What we are learning more than anything is how important it is to listen to what we are saying and to what others are saying. We are constantly getting feedback from the world as to where we are or how we’re doing. But many times we want to blame others for our circumstances rather than listen to what’s really going on in our “Lives.”
This video will help you to understand the significance of relationships and connection in healing our lives:
I met my husband 14 years ago. I spent at least 10 of those years trying to please him and trying to change him. Once I got sick of that, I did something that worked and that made me happy. I accepted him for who he is and most importantly, I accepted me for who I am. Since then, it’s like our marriage has been re-born.

All you need is love. Even if the ego tries to tell you differently. Check out the wisdom in these timeless lyrics and/or watch the video of The Beatles recording this song in front of a live audience. This video was broadcast via satellite to 26 countries on June 25, 1967. Watch it on YouTube.
All You Need is Love Lyrics by The Beatles
Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love.
There’s nothing you can do that can’t be done.
Nothing you can sing that can’t be sung.
Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game.
It’s easy.
There’s nothing you can make that can’t be made.
No one you can save that can’t be saved.
Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you
in time – It’s easy.
All you need is love, all you need is love,
All you need is love, love, love is all you need.
Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love.
All you need is love, all you need is love,
All you need is love, love, love is all you need.
There’s nothing you can know that isn’t known.
Nothing you can see that isn’t shown.
Nowhere you can be that isn’t where you’re meant to be.
It’s easy.
All you need is love, all you need is love,
All you need is love, love, love is all you need.
All you need is love (all together now)
All you need is love (everybody)
All you need is love, love, love is all you need.
Toastmasters has been an amazing experience for me. It’s helped me to uncover my voice and build my confidence. Now I can speak about what I want to speak about the way I want to speak about it. Today I completed my Humorously Speaking manual in Toastmasters and delivered speech #4 “Keep Them Laughing”. I need help with writing jokes but it feels good that I’m confident enough to try.
In the past, if someone laughed during my speech, I thought for sure I had done something stupid and they were laughing at me. In this speech, I decided to make fun of fear by bringing it right into the speech and joking about it. With practice I hope I truly will “keep them laughing” because I know that laughter is powerful.
I would love the opportunity to deliver this speech or one like it to groups of women and girls of all ages. If you are looking for a speaker at your next event, contact me by leaving a comment here or contact me on Facebook.
I am the instructor of three college classes: Introduction to Addictive Behaviors, Stress Management for the Helping Professional and Helping and Listening Skills. On a personal level I follow the daily A Course in Miracles lessons and often read from The Bible, the Science of Mind textbook, Catherine Ponder books and Think and Grow Rich.
I am constantly surrounded by teachings about the mind.
This immersion has been beneficial in many ways. I have overcome many hardships and I’ve accomplished goals that I never dreamed possible. But there was one area I was not willing to touch. I tried desperately for most of my life to avoid the deepest emotional issues. I told myself it “didn’t matter” and it was “in the past.”
About 2 years ago, when I had my own personal business and financial crisis, it was obvious that I had no choice but to go deep if I wanted to reclaim my life.
Today I was sitting at a coffee shop and this is what I wrote. Perhaps you can relate:
“Somehow this feels like a big day even though technically “nothing” is happening. It’s 12:17 and the lunch crowd is gathering. I notice I’m afraid of dying rather than exhilarated to be alive. I begin to switch my course gracefully because it seems too drastic to do it suddenly. It seems I truly will die if I try – if only from the shock. My system is slowly adjusting to 2010, to being 44, to being responsible for my life. To growing up. I’m not sure where I was before. Sometimes 1967, other times 1986 or 1992. In the Hell of the past. Very rarely right here, right now.
I’m beginning to see the possibilities. This 2010 world has some pretty cool advantages.
An adventurer could truly seize these opportunities.
I could be an adventurer.
It is entirely up to me.
A few of the tools I’ve used in my journey to awakening include Holosynch, EFT and hypnosis. Did you get your free Create the Life You Want hypnosis MP3 yet? If not, click here.
