If you have deeper questions like "Why Are We Here?" or "How do I Become Enlightened?" OR if you are searching for The Secret for "Happiness or Completeness" but not finding it, these are all good reasons that you are here now.

I want to share some great info, books and knowledge that has opened up my mind and heart to a more fulfilling life spiritually, personally and financially!

My husband is very spiritual in a sense of being clear with GOD and very passionate about helping others through God's healing and God's words. He has been a major life awakening force for me in my life. He DOES NOT READ or study a thing. He consciously strives for "free mind" with GOD every day. Divine Inspiration, energy, and words come to him.

Seeing, hearing, feeling, knowing, re-remembering (soul) opens up my mind to truth to help "let go" of taught principals/ religion-ways that man says we are "supposed to think and be".
It is not an easy process, BUT is is a process that is the most fulfilling to the soul and life. Through this process many books have truly helped me.
It amazes me to read words that coincide perfectly with what my husband has relayed to me over and over for many years; which at times I did not allow my mind to be clear and hear and accept. I simply "didn't get it"
Certain books have really helped me to understand, heal, love, grow, and "hear" which is such a lovely thing.

My Crib Notes For Daily Living

1. Gratitude
Be thankful to God for EVERYTHING that I am thankful for. Appreciate the simplest and the most profound and give thanks.
This is the best emotion of "being" to be in. It puts me in a good positive place and open to receive more goodness into my life.

GRATITUDE!

Being in the state of Gratitude is wonderful and very Powerful! You can't be in a bad mood or negative vibration if you are feeling thankful for something you have. It is impossible. Thank God every single day for all that you are grateful for. Now, the big things like the people in your life or your home etc. are of course what you will be thankful for but think of all the little things. Notice them. Pay attention to your thoughts and what you have been hoping for or wanting to happen and it does! Is that a coincidence? I think not! Be truly thankful for the big and the little things in life. It creates such a good energy flow that more good things flow from the gratitude that you feel! Have Happy Tears and Give Thanks every single Day- all day long!:)

THE POWER OF NOW by Eckhart Tolle is the 1st book of Eckhart Tolle's to be chosen By Oprah.

"IT can transform your thinking... The result? More Joy, right Now!" -O: The Oprah Magazine

"One of the best books to come along in years. Every sentence rings in truth and power." -Deepak Chopra, author of "The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success"

The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment

Amazon Price: $5.93 (as of 06/03/2012)Buy Now

SImply a life changing book and the "how to" to do it RIGHT NOW!
This is a great book. The Power Of Now.
So much makes so much sense to me and it really teaches you the "HOW TO" so you can truly change your life NOW! I will share a part in the beginning which I like. It is about being the "watcher of your thoughts"... and I mean really being like another watching of each thought you have! In the beginning you will not believe how much you think about and how much thought comes from negativity and thoughts from your past. But this watching, It is not about judging yourself but about bringing it to consciousness, which brings all to the light and the light diminishes the things that are "thoughts and emotional pain, thought and felt through all that has happened to you from your past, from what your parents and grandparents have been taught and conditioned into you from the day you were born from the "pain body" which the energy of all that is not right all around the earth that is put upon you when you are born etc etc. " . The love, peace and joy stays because they are apart of your natural being- GOD.
So I am being the watcher of my own thoughts and also living in the NOW not for the future or in the past.
Pretty awesome stuff- This is not info that is being taught to you for the first time. If you are ready to re-remember everything that your soul already knows reading this is like someone turned on the light and really changes your life now!

Oprah Winfrey- Personal Development and Spiritual Book Picks

Oprah is a Remarkable, Strong, Passionate Woman.

ANYTHING she recommends on spiritual growth and personal development has got to be great. There are two books on Oprah Winfrey's book Club Picks on oprah.com that are referenced to in MANY other inspirational books on spiritual growth and personal development that I have read.
"A Return To Love Reflections on the Principals of a Course in Miracles" by Marianne Williamson and
"Discover the Power Within You" by Eric Butterworth.

"A Return to Love" is a spiritual guide to applying love to make your own life more fulfilling and love is the key to inner peace.
Deepak Chopra, author of "The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success" and "The Way of the Wizard" says
"Marianne Williamson's book is a classic. She reveals, with elegant simplicity, that love is not a mere sentiment of emotion, but the ultimate truth at the heart of creation"
"When I first read "A Return to Love", I literally felt the excitement as I absorbed Marianne Williamson's insights. Since then, I have given thousands of copies of the book to people all over the world. Today, it is still a treasure to me, and Marianne is a light for the transformation of the world. You will love this book. I guarentee it." Wayne Dyer author of "Real Magic".

"Discover The Power Within You" by Eric Butterworth "A guide to the Unexplored Depths Within" is also a top pick of Oprhas'. within Oprah's bookclub. Eric Butterworth explains that the discovery of all time is of the divine dimension in each of us. He explains how to succeed; how to pray; how to find confidence; how to overcome personal problems; and how to find healing. It shows you how to release the power that is within you.
No wonder OPRAH is so powerful!

Topics on "The Secret" and it's teachers have been featured on Ellen Degeneres, Oprah Winfrey, CNN's Larry King Live and way more to even list here.Oprah admitted to using the concepts within "The Secret" and The Law Of Attraction.

9. Ask and You Shall Receive.
But I must remain in a state of gratitude, love, trust, faith and all that is God.
It is the frequency that I am in. For example if I am tuning into 95.9 AM and I want to listen to 101 FM it is simply on the wrong frequency and can't come through.

I have to be on the right frequency to get the right channel and music that I want to listen to. So I want to "tune in" to gratitude, love, trust, faith, then I know I am on the right frequency!:)

Any situation where you see, feel, or are experiencing trouble with someone. It is not between you and that person. It is essentially between you and GOd. The way you think and react to anything- think of God 1st. and then you may react or simply give the situation to GOD. In Wayne Dyer's "There is a Spiritual Solution to Every Problem" this is one of the things Wayne Dyer talks about with stories and examples that are problem solving to the heart..

MUST HAVES in BUSINESS and LIFE

"The Science of Getting Rich" and "Think and Grow Rich"

"The Science Of Getting Rich" by Wallace D. Wattles and "Think and Grow Rich" by Napolean Hill are absolute CLASSICS! They are must haves in life and prosperity for EVERYONE. BOb Proctor discusses these in The Secret and so much of The Secret is based on these. What I love about the books are The Power of THought, Energy,, and how Prosperity in every area of your life is of the Divine God.
We are programmed to think $ is "bad" to a certain extent or that you have to bust your butt to get any. These beliefs block us from recieving and allowing ourselves to be open. God is our father and wants us to experience life and have Abundance and Prosperity all around and within us (through him 1st, of course:))
The Secret tells of a book called "Millionaire of the Bible Series" by Catherine Ponder. It tells Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Jesus were all "prosperity teachers" that were "millionaires with affluent lifestyles"

IT WILL BE A RECORD OF YOUR SOUL'S JOURNEY...

You can then look back when you need reminding and need to be inspired. It helps me tremendously and I find I am the most "clear mind" when I journal daily.

Messages to Pass On To You...

This morning my husband had a message for me to read the "Angel book" today.
Later in the day, I said a prayer asking to show me the right passage for me to read.

I read a little and took a little nap with the book on my chest. I awoke to my baby picking up the book, opening up the page and pointing to these 2 pages over and over.

Let Your Light Shine 

Enjoy Divine Abundance 

Shut My Mind Up So I Can Just Be A Mom!

The most important thing I have learned about being a mom is to be present. What does that mean you say? Of course you are present, right? Well, that isn't so true or easy to do.

A woman's mind or anyones for that matter is always thinking and thinking and thinking. Really think about it! OR should I say try to stop thinking. Go ahead and try it right now. Stop your mind from thinking. It is virtually impossible.

The mind, have you ever noticed just never shuts up. The endless chatter just going in circles. And yes, I hate to say it but women are the worse. We are thinking about everything from what to make for dinner, to finding the receipt for the sweater you need to return, to thinking you are the worse mom cause your baby fell asleep before she got enough bites of green beans in her mouth etc. etc. etc. The worse part is it is non-stop, repetitive, and never ending.

I have learned something very important about being a mom and parenting, but by no means am I a master of it. It is to be conscious of what you are thinking. Really! Always be the "watcher" of your thoughts. Then slow them down. Nothing is more important than right now, this very moment especially in your child's eyes. You don't have the past. You don't have the future. All you will EVER have is right NOW.

Trust me, you won't be able to do it in one try. The mind is a powerful thing. You will lose yourself in thought over and over but continually come back to being that watcher. You will get better and more conscious. Your quality of life will change.

So right now, Stop thinking. Look into your child's eyes. Appreciate this moment and just play or talk or get silly. But by all means Shut your mind up and be present. It is THE BEST present you can ever give your child or yourself. Believe me your child will notice a difference and will be much more happy to truly have MOM all to herself!
