My Word For 2019

January 23, 2019

For the past several years I have chosen one word as my mantra for the year. In the past few years they were Believe (2018), Strength (2017), Joy (2016), and Challenge (2015).

This year it took time to find my word but then it appeared to me…. EXPLORE. The year 2019 is my year to explore – this will include exploring the world with travel, exploring what brings me true joy and pleasure, and exploring what is out there for me to find.

Why I Want To Explore

Last year I had gone through several changes. Many of them were changes I wanted to make, but they had to be forced upon me in order for me to actually do it. I was released from a job that wasn’t right for me. This was the change I needed in order to live and do what I want to do.

When I went off to work on my own, I had to believe in myself. I had to trust that I could fly on my own and to understand that when good things came my way, that they were meant for me. I had a lot of doubt and insecurities. My confidence was stripped away from me. But that is all starting to change.

What I Have Explored This Year Already

Just a week ago I finished my fifth Walt Disney World Marathon weekend Dopey Challenge. I was very nervous about this race, mostly the marathon portion of the race. I felt undertrained. My longest training run was 13 miles. I would have liked to get more miles under my feet; but I kept running throughout the time prior to the race; but they were short runs.

Several of my friends were also feeling unprepared for this race. They were dealing with illness and injury, so we were sharing our concerns and fears with each other. We encouraged each other that we would do whatever it takes to get the challenge finished.

I hate to admit this; but I did have a fleeting moment where I considered not doing the marathon. However, my children and husband were going to be at the finish line of the marathon so I couldn’t let them down. I wanted to be an example to my children to never give up. I know the training is important; but finishing what you start is also an important message I want them to know.

When I finished the race I was overcome with emotion. I was so proud of my accomplishment and the realization that I am still passionate about training for and running races.

My Word For 2019 — My 5th Dopey Challenge Completed!

I Am Exploring To Find What I Love

My Passion For Running

Now, I am on a mission to explore my re-ignited love of running. I was selected by Another Mother Runner to be one of their Brand Ambassadors (#BAMRbassador). I am so excited to be a part of a larger group in the running community to share my passion for running and all things associated with training, racing, recovery, taking care of yourself, gear, and more.

My Passion For Photography

I am also exploring my love of photography. I always enjoyed taking pictures; but now I set up time to go out and take photographs. When we were in Disney after the races were over, I packed up my camera that I was blessed to receive from Best Buy at Mom 2.0 last year, and took pictures at the parks. I especially loved capturing the images at night with the special lighting within the parks. I had so much fun snapping the photos everywhere.

When we came back home from the trip there was a large ice storm and the temperatures dropped to the single digits. I was getting cabin fever so I dressed up in my cold weather running gear and put on my snow pants, boots, coat and buff and went up to the farm with my camera.

I walked all the way up to the hill to find the cows and stayed up there to take photographs of the frozen farm and the sunset. It was only about eight degrees outside!

I saw so much beauty through the lens of the camera. I caught an owl in a tree, and the cows and Jed the horse even seemed happy to have a visitor!

My Next Adventure

A week from today I will be setting sail on the Oprah Girlfriend’s Cruise and I cannot wait to Explore the ship, Half Moon Cay in the Bahamas. This will be my first cruise so everything will be a new adventure for me. Doing yoga on the beach is one of the events I am looking forward to most on this trip!

I will be using this trip to think about my life and my goals and dreams for 2019. I’m looking forward to all of the experiences that will come my way this year. I can explore what makes me happy and what I can do to teach my family more about places around the world we live in.

Do you create a word of the year? I’d love to hear what your word is. Please feel free to share it in the comments.

Manifestation - Taking Charge of My Life

Manifestation – Taking Charge Of My Own Life

October 4, 2018

This week the word manifestation has been on my heart. I can’t seem to listen to enough Wayne Dyer podcasts and YouTube presentations. I had a spiritual shift in my mindset. You are in charge of your own happiness. I am in charge of my own happiness.

This time of year is hard for me. The change in seasons is hard because I don’t like the dark. I can’t run later in the day anymore, and colder weather is coming. The cold doesn’t stop me from running; but I’m just a summer, loving kind of girl.

How does this relate to manifestation? Well, the word has been on my mind and I have been making many changes in a more positive direction. I have changed my diet to eat clean again. I have made a commitment to stick to my training schedule for the Dopey challenge, and I am cross training regularly. I want to feel better about myself both inside and out. But more importantly, I am seeing that things I have been manifesting are unfolding in front of me.

Different Types of Thinking

I was talking to my husband about the way that I think, and I told him that I am always the glass half empty person. I always think the worst case first and am not the type of person who is more positive. He told me that how a person thinks can be changed, and I didn’t disagree.

Deficiency Motivation

Wayne Dyer talks about that type of thinking. He called it deficiency motivation – “Where I am I don’t Like”. From July, 2017 until March of 2018 I was living in a place in my life that I didn’t like.

When you think that way, you are always trying to fix what you don’t like. You feel like something is wrong with you. You never arrive where you want to be in life because your life is a series of trying to get someplace else. What happens, is that is you become a sufferer of always wanting MORE. When you are living in deficiency you are always feeling like you don’t have enough, even when you met the goal you wanted. You are never satisfied.

No Limit Motivation

A no limit person never operates from a lack in their life. They never say I don’t have enough. In your mind you are already everything you need to have total bliss. No limit people take what they are and accept. They see no deficiencies about themselves.

How Is Manifestation Affecting Me

I want to be the type of person who takes their life in their own hands and understands that everything that comes your way is an opportunity and a blessing. I am finally getting to that place. I am learning how to be happy where I am and with what I have.

I used to keep looking backwards and seeing my failures in a negative sense. I was focusing on my deficiencies. I wasn’t believing that what happened in the past was necessary to get me to where I am today. I would say it out loud, but I wasn’t truly believing it 100% until a few weeks ago.

I used to keep reaching for more. But I am now learning to celebrate every little thing that is coming my way. And let me tell you, things have been coming my way that I never expected that I would receive. This is what has happened for me in the past six months:

I lost my job

I actually manifested on an airplane home from a conference two days before that, that I wanted to start my dream job. I wanted to do whatever it would take to be my own boss. That gift was given to me two days later. However, for a long time I was focusing on the negative part of that.

I attended conferences

I met some wonderful new friends. I had grown my relationship with one of my friends from several years ago. We had the chance to spend more time together and build our relationship.

I won contests at these conferences! I won a gift card which I used to purchase a new camera. I told my roommate at that conference that I wanted to get a new camera to help with my business. I won a Google Pixelbook and a JBL Pulse 3 speaker. Thank you Best Buy! I had said I wanted to get a new computer to upgrade for my business!

I also won a $250 gift card at the third conference I attended this year! In fact, the morning of the drawing I was getting dressed and putting on my make up and I said OUT LOUD, “I am going to win that gift card”. And I did! Thank you Genius At Play! I was shocked and had to share my story when I accepted the card.

That was the smack in my face that told me that when you manifest your visions and dream they will come true. I told my husband about the gift card and we both thought the same thing. That is the gift we needed to help with our children’s Christmas gifts this year.

I am building relationships

I had the pleasure of rooming with Claudia in NYC in August for the BlogHer Conference. She and I had been friends and had been able to spend time with each other at conferences, but this time we had more time together by rooming with each other.

Having that time together, I was also able to enjoy dinners and free time with Claudia. I I was also introduced to some amazing women! I had been talking on the phone with one of the members in our social media group, and Claudia surprised me because that same person was at the dinner! It was so great to meet Annita in person! Also at the table were fellow Omag Insiders of Claudia’s and also a fellow Best Buy Ambassador Kelly. I was so happy to finally meet some of these women in real life.

Claudia had another surprise for me. I was invited to join her for a tour of the Oprah Magazine office in the Hearst Building in NYC! I couldn’t believe it. I want to be an OMag Insider and I am manifesting this dream. Being in the same office space that Oprah spends time and breathes the same air! I was so grateful for that experience.

I am learning how to be me

Wayne Dyer says, “being means seeing the greatness and uniqueness in you, and never letting anyone else to make you think the contrary.” I am learning how to “be”. I am learning how to be my true self. I am seeing the good that I am capable of. I am no longer letting how I had been treated or made to think negatively about myself define me.

I had an amazing experience at that conference. I was given the opportunity to give a presentation about messenger bots. This was a first for me at a social media conference. And the session was great! I had amazing feedback from some of the attendees, and I was so surprised at how many people attended my session.

I was having a conversation on Facebook with someone and this is a message she sent to me about my change into working for myself this year:Someone else believes in me and they are seeing me succeed! I love this.

Just before I left Cedar Point to fly home, I went to the amusement park and took a ride on the very high swings. I wanted to fly high and toss my negativity into Lake Eerie. I didn’t want to bring it back home with me.

Things are happening to me that I never imagined before. When I started to believe in myself doors began opening for me. I am getting so busy with clients, that there may come a point when I will have to hire a virtual assistant!
