<p>Check it out!&#160; Here’s “The Attraction Distraction” with her Swedish and Polish sisters!&#160; And Czechoslovakia is on the way – fun or what!!!?</p>
<p>And even more fun, I got an email from a seeker in Denmark who just read the book in her own language… she liked it, found it compelling, AND asked a question I get asked a lot…</p>
<p>What about karma?&#160; What about destiny?&#160; What about soul contracts?&#160; In other words, who or what is REALLY in charge when it comes to manifesting?</p>
<p>I thought I’d insert a bit around this conversation here, because I’ve been getting these kinds of questions for a long time, but even more since I started to share <a href="http://successforthesoul.com/my-story-from-sonia-miller/">“My Story”</a> about all the adversity I’ve been navigating in my own life.</p>
<p>There is much to say on the topic, but I’ll make two short points and we can go deeper in the posts that follow…</p>
<p>1) We are multi-dimensional beings and we operate from multiple levels of consciousness.&#160; </p>
<p>2) Manifestation can be Magical AND it can be Messy!</p>
<p>These are advanced manifestation concepts which I’m talking and teaching a lot about these days.</p>
<p>To begin exploring some of these ideas feel free to sign up for the free summer series I’m wrapping up this month entitled: “Beyond the Law of Attraction: How to Let God Work Through You!”</p>
<p>When you register you’ll have access to the audio from the first three Live calls.&#160; And we have one more coming up this month if you’d like a shot at getting YOUR questions answered.&#160; My gift to you, but you must register so we can get you the audios and updates.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In case you missed it, I recently launched my new Live Q&amp;A Tele-Conference Forum entitled, &#8220;Beyond the Law of Attraction: How to Let God Work Through You!&#8221;&nbsp; The audio is up and you can access it by registering at <a href="http://www.SuccessForTheSoul.com/beyond-loa/">http://www.SuccessForTheSoul.com/beyond-loa/</a></p>
<p>On this call I talked about how easy it is to let the world tell us what is possible.&nbsp; People, circumstances, the media all tell us how it is&#8230; and what do we do?&nbsp; WE AGREE.&nbsp; Consciously or not, most of us simply agree, and allow ourselves to experience only what we can imagine.</p>
<p>The Law of Attraction is great and all, but let&#8217;s face it, all the &#8220;stuff&#8221; you seek to manifest, you do so for one reason:&nbsp; because of how you &#8220;think&#8221; that stuff will make you feel.&nbsp; Even if you DO manifest the stuff, and it makes you feel good, how long does the feeling last?</p>
<p>The truth is that eventually, you are faced with the opportunity to look BEYOND the stuff you want to manifest to the TRUTH of what you seek: Your Self.&nbsp; The TRUTH of your SELF.&nbsp; The TRUTH of who you really are.&nbsp; And who you really are is BEYOND the you you see in the mirror.&nbsp; It is the you that you sit with in the stillness, when there is no &#8220;stuff&#8221; to entertain you, distract you, or scare you.</p>
<p>Today was a rough day for me.&nbsp; It was a day where I had to deal with lawyers and phone calls and emails and decisions around a legal dispute and my divorce.&nbsp; Frankly, I got overwhelmed.&nbsp; The &#8220;stuff of life&#8221; was looming big and scary.&nbsp; My mind went on overdrive.&nbsp; So, I called a bunch of friends till I reached one live.&nbsp; Vented, cried and calmed down.</p>
<p>Then, when the kids went to bed, I sat in stillness.&nbsp; Om Namah Shivayah.&nbsp; </p>
<p>Came back to myself.</p>
<p>Went on the computer and guess what I found?&nbsp; A prayer from Teresa of Avila, the mystic nun <a href="http://www.myss.com/">Carolyn Myss</a> speaks of often.&nbsp; For now, it is my new favorite prayer:</p>
<p>“Let nothing disturb you; <br />Let nothing frighten you. <br />All things are passing. <br />God never changes. <br />Patience obtains all things. <br />Nothing is wanting to him/her who possesses God. <br />God alone suffices.”
<p>&#8230; Did you catch that?&nbsp; &#8220;Nothing is wanting to him/her who possesses God.&#8221;&nbsp; </p>
<p>When we focus on the Divine.&nbsp; Think about the Divine.&nbsp; Contemplate the Divine.&nbsp; Declare our willingness to know the Divine&#8230; we commune with the Divine.&nbsp; We remember our Oneness.&nbsp; And when we do, ALL blessings can then grace our life.&nbsp; Why?&nbsp; Because the Law of Attraction makes it so.&nbsp; Where our attention goes, the energy flows.&nbsp; The Divine is Infinite LOVE, well-being, power, freedom and abundance&#8230;&nbsp; When we look beyond the &#8220;stuff&#8221; to the true Source of all we desire, we ALLOW ourselves to remember and experience our oneness with ALL of it.&nbsp; </p>
<p>Choose YOUR Reality! TM</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear Seeker,</p>
<p>This is a very personal message from me to you, which I truly hope<br />you&#8217;ll take the time to read. It has turned out to be a bit long. I<br />hope you&#8217;ll print it out and read it over a cup of coffee or tea.<br />It seems that I&#8217;ve written this type of letter to you several times<br />in the past year and a half. The kind of letter that goes something<br /><a href="http://successforthesoul.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/m_ColorHeadLoraFinal.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" border="0" alt="m_ColorHeadLoraFinal" align="left" src="http://successforthesoul.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/m_ColorHeadLoraFinal_thumb.jpg" width="132" height="196"></a>like&#8230; &#8220;Sorry I&#8217;ve been absent for a while, this is what&#8217;s been<br />happening, and&#8230; I&#8217;m back!&#8221; Well, for someone like me who has<br />identified a bit with herself on being the &#8220;pillar of strength&#8221; and<br />the &#8220;dependable one&#8221;, this recurring phenomenon has been a bit<br />frustrating to say the least.</p>
<p>And yet&#8230; now that I&#8217;ve been on this path where my only choice has<br />been to SURRENDER, ACCEPT, and ADAPT long enough to see a <br />bigger picture emerging, I&#8217;m here today to tell you that I have a <br />message for you. And that message is coming to you through the <br />experience of my life.</p>
<p><strong>Before I get into the message, I&#8217;d like to give you some background<br />so that the message makes sense.</strong></p>
<p>Anyone who has read my book or done any work through Success for<br />the Soul knows that I&#8217;ve prided myself on not only being able to<br />make my own dreams come true – big giant life dreams – but that I&#8217;m<br />pretty darn good at helping others make their dreams come true. And<br />the truth is that none of that has changed. Since 2002 my soul-mate<br />husband and I manifested an amazing life in wine-country Oregon, we<br />had two beautiful children after struggling with infertility, and I&#8217;d written <br />and published my dream book, which became a best-seller&#8230; to name <br />a few. </p>
<p>SIMULTANEOUSLY, life was presenting me with tremendous personal <br />challenges: In 2005 my mother had been diagnosed with lung cancer <br />and I became her primary caregiver for four years until she passed in <br />May of 2009. As I looked forward to healing and reclaiming my life, <br />extenuating circumstances triggered a series of &#8220;earthquakes&#8221; that <br />affected our sense of security and safety regarding our home life <br />(which, among other things included the joys of a legal dispute), and <br />most recently, in the wee hours of Easter Sunday morning, I discovered <br />that my marriage was ending, in a most shocking, unexpected and <br />painful way (by divorce not death).</p>
<p>At a time when my life&#8217;s work was taking off like a rocket, as Source <br />Energy was supporting me in reaching an international audience, as <br />new and improved coaching programs were coming on line&#8230; my <br />personal world was turned upside down.</p>
<p>As all spiritual beings living a human experience I had to give myself <br />the space to process the shock and pain. I was living a paradox&#8230; <br />part of me wanted the space and permission to make it all about <br />ME&#8230; to curl up into a fetal position, hide under the blankets and <br />disappear for a few months. While the grown-up part of me knew I <br />had to be strong for my children. I had clients who had entrusted<br />their hopes and dreams with me. I had financial responsibilities to<br />honor. I simply didn&#8217;t have the luxury to &#8220;go away&#8221;.</p>
<p>So, what did I do? I did what I&#8217;ve been doing, what I&#8217;ve been<br />teaching, and what I&#8217;ve been practicing for all these years. I turned <br />to Source. I turned to God. But I did it in a way and to a depth I&#8217;ve <br />never gone before. I turned it ALL over, really and truly ALL to God. <br />Every day. Every minute. Every care. Every question. Every decision. <br />Every concern. I turned over my need to know. My addiction t o <br />reasoning. My love of control. My desire for order. I turned over my <br />fears. My worry about the children. I turned over my business. My <br />clients. My finances. I turned over difficult conversations I needed <br />to have. It turned over my physical health and well-being.</p>
<p>I THOUGHT I had let God live my life for me and through me before.<br />But like this? Never.</p>
<p>With all of my God time, some things became clear very quickly.</p>
<p>Firstly, I KNEW WHY this was happening&#8230;</p>
<p>I HAD ASKED FOR IT.</p>
<p>You&#8217;re thinking to yourself WHAT?! How could you have possibly<br />asked for this? Well, this sort of thing happens ALL the time. We<br />set goals and intentions. We ask the Universe for change. But when<br />things DO change, we forget we asked for it! Not only that, but we<br />don&#8217;t like HOW the change is unfolding. We ask God for help, but<br />try to tell God how to do her job. (And don&#8217;t even THINK about<br />trusting God!)</p>
<p>As for me, what happened is that back in 2009 I had declared to the<br />Universe, &#8220;I want to KNOW that God is my Source. My ONLY. My <br />EVERY. My ALL! I want to get it at a cellular level, so that I no <br />longer have to try to convince myself of this. I want to move BEYOND <br />intellectual understanding to deep, spiritual KNOWING.&#8221;</p>
<p>So, what happened? I manifested the exact experiences I needed to<br />have no choice, but to turn to God for everything. Every external<br />structure in my life that I used to count on to feel safe and secure <br />was stripped away. With my mother&#8217;s illness, my freedom (my<br />ability to live life on my terms) was confiscated. When my home<br />life crumbled into a chaotic mess of conflict, threat, and<br />abandonment&#8230; the illusion that safety and security come through<br />external comforts vanished. And when my marriage ended, my<br />&#8220;religion of relationship&#8221;, and my earthly identity burned away to<br />ashes.</p>
<p>As a result, I was left with nothing but my relationship with and<br />trust in God. I knew I could be strong and loving for my children,<br />because there is just something super-human that gets activated<br />when a woman becomes a mother. But I had no idea how I could<br />possibly be present and helpful to my clients, let alone get<br />through each day. And yet, I had to. So, before each client<br />session, before each class, and before each Q&amp;A session, I&#8217;d turn<br />everything over to God. I would say, &#8220;Okay God. The life-coach<br />formerly known as Sonia is no longer here. Work through me so <br />that I may serve this person in the highest way.&#8221;</p>
<p>I did this for EVERY single professional interaction and exchange,<br />and what happened was quite astounding. Not only would amazing<br />wisdom come through and my clients felt served, but I felt better.<br />Letting God work through me, FOR another, uplifted me. Of course I<br />alw ays knew about this phenomenon. But to experience it when it<br />took everything I had just to answer the telephone&#8230; this was a<br />whole new level.</p>
<p>And then&#8230; the feedback started coming in.</p>
<p>&#8220;Sonia, I don&#8217;t know what&#8217;s happened to you, but something is<br />different. I&#8217;ve never heard or felt you be so powerful.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Sonia, I got off the phone the other day crying, and I knew that I<br />had to have you as my coach for the rest of my life.&#8221;
<p>And then&#8230; I started letting my clients know what had happened in <br />my life and the feedback continued.</p>
<p>&#8220;Sonia, I have no idea how, but what you&#8217;re bringing is more<br />inspiring, confident and clearer than I&#8217;ve ever heard from you.&#8221;</p>
<p>My response was always the same: I&#8217;m letting God work through me,<br />because there is nothing of &#8220;me&#8221; left.
<p>Which brings me to why I&#8217;m writing this letter to you today:</p>
<p>As a result of this unfolding in my life, my work is changing. I<br />don&#8217;t know where it is going for sure, or for how long it will be<br />this way, but I&#8217;m clear about what I need to do right now. I<br />haven&#8217;t written an ezine or a blog post in two or more months.<br />Instead I’m being guided away from writing toward staying <br />connected with all of you in a more interactive, intimate way.<br />So&#8230; for a while, instead of providing my Soul Food electronic<br />newsletter as my primary way of offering tips, tools, inspiration<br />and information, I will be facilitating a Free LIVE Q&amp;A Forum call<br />twice a month. This tele-conference series is called:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.successforthesoul.com/beyond-loa/"><b>Beyond the Law of Attraction: How to Let God Work Through You</b></a></p>
<p><b>HERE ARE THE DETAILS: </b></p>
<p><b>What will happen on the calls?</b><br />The calls will be up to 60 minutes in length. I will begin by<br />delivering whatever inspired message seems to be coming through <br />at the time. (There&#8217;s a lot of that happening these days.) And then<br />I&#8217;ll open the lines up for Q&amp;A. Anyone on the call can ask any<br />questions they have about personal success, healing,<br />transformation, manifestation, navigating the illusion that is our<br />physical experience here on earth, the law of attraction, letting<br />God work through you&#8230; things like that. My intention is and always<br />will be to answer questions and support those that are called to be<br />there in the highest way, as guided by Source.</p>
<p><b>Who Are These Calls For?</b></p>
<p>These Live Forums are for YOU, if&#8230;</p>
<ul>
<li>You feel a calling to something deeper or bigger in yourself or <br />your life, but don&#8217;t know what that is or how to connect with it.
<li>You feel in your soul that life is about much more than<br />&#8220;manifesting things&#8221; in your life.
<li>You read &#8220;My Story&#8221; about the unfolding experiences of my<br />life in the past year-and-a-half and feel like you need to know<br />more&#8230; (or my story resonates for you).
<li>You would like a chance to receive live support from me as a<br />gift.
<li>You would like to connect with like-minded and like-hearted<br />seekers.
<li>You&#8217;re curious.
<li>You feel that you&#8217;re supposed to be there. </li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Among the many distortions out there about the Law of Attraction is that it breeds selfishness, materialism and irresponsibility. And, yes, there is no question that without correct thinking or the appropriate context, the body of knowledge known as the Law of Attraction can perpetuate false ideas and extremism… in the same way as happens with EVERYTHING that engenders opinions and passion (i.e. religion, politics, causes…)
<p>And so, read on at your own risk. For I am about to talk about the metaphysical practice of “minding your own business.” Taken out of context one may judge this harshly in any number of ways. However, correctly understood, the practice of minding one’s own business can not only be personally liberating, but it can foster peace in relationships and in the world, and can be a creative catalyst for the betterment of society.
<p><b>The Problem:<br /></b><br />Most people walk around thinking that in order to feel better and to solve problems they must CHANGE the people, situations, opinions and circumstances around them. Wrong. From a Law of Attraction perspective nothing outside of us creates or perpetuates the problems. The only thing that creates your reality is your consciousness. So, if you put a lot of energy into changing your external world, you are telling the Universe the following:
<p>a) My well-being is contingent upon external circumstances.<br />b) The Source of my well-being is outside of me.<br />c) John Doe is the cause of all of my problems.<br />d) I will remain unhappy until things change.
<p>Because like attracts like, your BELIEF in all of this, <i>will </i>make it so. Consequently, you will remain a victim to circumstance until circumstances change. This is bad news. But worse is that nothing will change as long as your attention is on all that is wrong. Since like attracts like, if you focus on wrongness, you get more wrongness. A no-win situation wouldn’t you say?
<p><b>The Solution:</b>
<p>When you take your nose out of everyone else’s business, and mind your own business, you’ve essentially broken out of your self-imposed prison of victim-hood. What does it mean to mind your own business? It means that you take that finger you were pointing outwardly and point it back at yourself with a single-minded intention to cultivate and nurture a mind-set of openness, receptivity, willingness and possibility. THAT is YOUR business. And THAT is where ALL of your power lies. Here are some tips to help you mind your own business:
<p><b>When your external world feels negative, scary and overpowering…</b><br />contemplate the TRUE nature of Source Energy. Source is everywhere present and infinite in goodness, love, well-being and abundance, beyond human understanding. Make it your top priority to study and immerse yourself in this concept.
<p><b>When you find yourself judging a person or situation negatively… </b><br />say to yourself, “I suspend judgment. It is what it is. It is not good. It is not bad. It simply is. And I remain open to the Infinite Good that is present right here and now.”
<p><b>When your beliefs have you convinced that there is no other way…</b><br />surrender your limiting beliefs to the highest good through willingness and choice. Say to yourself, “It may or may not be true that this bad economy makes finding a job difficult, but I CHOOSE to believe I can find a job easily.” “It may or may not be true that this bully has power over me, but I’m willing to remember, that Source is my ONLY Source, and this person has zero influence over my experience.”
<p>As you practice letting other people, places and situations off the hook, and remember that your creative mind has ultimate power over that which you allow into your life, THEN you are free! Release the desire to mind other people’s business. You have little power there. Mind your own business instead and watch your power to change your own reality, as well as that of others, unfold in ways you never imagined!

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As some of you may know, I recently attended <a href="http://www.theinvisibleclose.com/" target="_blank">Lisa Sasevich&#8217;s</a> Big Life Event in San Diego.&nbsp; </p>
<p>There I found my tribe!&nbsp; A group of like-minded and like-hearted spiritually-oriented entrepreneurs who seek to live their higher-purpose as changed agents, while exemplifying that one can give, serve and help others&nbsp; WHILE being personally successful and fulfilled.&nbsp; As a matter of fact, people who want to help others MUST be really good at with regard to self-care, finances and everything else.&nbsp; Why? Because if you sacrifice your own well-being in the name of helping others, you can&#8217;t help others very well for very long, can you?&nbsp; If your business isn&#8217;t profitable, if you can&#8217;t pay the bills, if you&#8217;re doing everything by yourself and that costs you health and time with your family&#8230; aren&#8217;t you defeating the purpose?</p>
<p>So, I invested in myself and my work by joining Lisa&#8217;s SASSY Mastermind Group.&nbsp; SASSY is a play on Sasevich AND S.A.S. which is what we learn about: Sales, Authenticity and Success.&nbsp; You see&#8230; one of the things spiritually-oriented professionals struggle with is how to share what they do, get paid appropriately WHILE remaining authentic and not feeling &#8220;salesy&#8221;&#8230; hence, SASSY!</p>
<p>Anyway&#8230; as a result of joining this mastermind, I&#8217;ve now begun to meet an extra-ordinary group of people.</p>
<p>I<strong> just met Veronica Karaman on our forum, and in a short time she has really impressed me!&nbsp; Veronica offers a unique and eclectic blend of expertise: life coach, professional golfer, minister and relationship healer.&nbsp; In getting to know her I learned of a free tele-class that really helps people absolutely have a different a positive experience with family members over the holidays.</strong></p>
<p>After reading about her story and only listening to half of the audio, I KNEW I needed to let you know about it.&nbsp; </p>
<p>This resource is a gem and Veronica teaches from personal experience and a wonderful well-spring of wisdom.</p>
<p>Check it out!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><i>By Sonia M. Miller, BBW, MSW</i>
<p><i>Excerpted from “<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Attraction-Distraction-Working-Results-FINALLY/dp/0979674530/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1256914255&amp;sr=8-1"><b>The Attraction Distraction: Why the Law of Attraction Isn’t Working for You and How to Get Results – Finally!</b></a>”</i>
<p><em></em>&nbsp;
<p>&nbsp;
<p align="center">“However many holy words you read, however many you speak, what good will they do you if you do not act upon them?”
<p align="center">— Buddha
<p><img align="right" src="http://www.sxc.hu/pic/m/l/lu/lusi/1195576_giving_hands.jpg" width="150">The path of service is a powerful, beautiful and meaningful one for expansion. Service is all about giving. It is powerful because giving, like gratitude, expresses the high vibration of: “I HAVE and I AM.” When you give, you express the vibration of: “I have love to give, I have time to give, I have talents to give, I am loving, I am generous, I am valuable.” </p>
<p>Many transformational experiences can unfold through being of service, if you have the correct intention behind the service. In order for service to contribute to your expansion, you must enter into service willing to give generously. You must give without expectation of anything in return, give for the sake of giving, give without thought of yourself, give without strings attached, and give without keeping score regarding what you’re getting back. The quality of giving is not in the amount you give, but in how you are being when you give. As Mother Teresa taught us, “It is not the magnitude of our actions but the amount of love that is put into them that matters.”
<p>Because giving expresses the I have and I am vibration, it is guaranteed that you will receive much through giving. The Law of Attraction makes it so. The irony is, it sounds contradictory to say in the same breath, “Through giving you will receive,” and, “You must give without any thought of yourself.” The key is this: It is one thing to have your desires motivate you to give, and an entirely different thing to give as a way of getting. If self-interest motivates you to be of service, great! “Yahoo!” for self-interest. Self-interest and ego are great motivators, after all. But once you’re motivated to give, then let yourself learn how to really give! Know it is in fully surrendering yourself to the experience of service that you will be transformed.
<p>The possibilities for growth through service are many. If you’ve never before given selflessly, you will awaken and discover a part of yourself that you have never before experienced. Giving freely opens the heart so you may experience love in ways you’ve never known. If you’ve never given selflessly before, or have only known survival, self-interest or obligation, it is likely your ego or your wounds have played a big role in your life. When you start to give, and stretch to be of true service, your ego and your wounds will be revealed to you. Giving helps you integrate your ego. Giving helps you heal yourself. Your ego would have you believe that, in giving, you will lose the thing that you give. However, through service, you discover you are filled and blessed by that which you give. Being of service will reveal limiting thoughts and judgments – about yourself, about other s, about life and about the nature of the Universe. Once you uncover limiting beliefs, you then have the opportunity to challenge them and determine the deeper truth available for discovery.
<p>Being of service will also activate the manifestation vibration. Again, the seeming contradiction appears: “If I’m to be other-focused, of selfless service, why should I care about man¬ifesting things in my own life?” The truth is, once you really get it about service, manifesting things will no longer become the motivating factor it was. Instead, you will manifest your de¬sires as a natural by-product of living a life of giving – where your consciousness consistently expresses the vibration of I have. Things you want and need will simply come to you, with little effort.
<p>And so it is with the path of service. If you give freely, you will expand. You will discover and tap into all the unseen abundance that lives within you. You will circulate it freely, and it will come back to you multiplied.
<p><b><em>Prayer of St. Francis</em></b>
<p><em>Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.<br />Where there is Hatred, let me sow Love.<br />Where there is Injury, Pardon.<br />Where there is Doubt, Faith</em>
<p><em>Where there is Despair, Hope.<br />Where there is Darkness, Light,<br />and Where there is Sadness, Joy.<br />O Divine Master, Grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;<br />To be understood, as to understand;<br />To be loved, as to love;<br />For it is in giving that we receive,<br />It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,<br />And it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.</em>
<p>To learn more about how the Law of Attraction is not just about attainment, but is in fact a venue for spiritual development, consider picking up a copy of “<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Attraction-Distraction-Working-Results-FINALLY/dp/0979674530/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1256914255&amp;sr=8-1"><b>The Attraction Distraction: Why the Law of Attraction Isn’t Working for You and How to Get Results – Finally!</b></a>”</p>

<p>Anyone who follows my journey with the Law of Attraction, metaphysics, and manifestation probably understands by now that I&#8217;m one of those people who can&#8217;t just accept the principles and teachings without understanding WHY they work.&nbsp; </p>
<p>It has never been enough for someone to say, <strong>&#8220;practice gratitude.&#8221;</strong>&nbsp; I needed to know WHY that was important.&nbsp; What&#8217;s the underlying vibration of gratitude which, from a &#8220;like attracts like&#8221; perspective causes us to experience more fulfillment, abundance and well-being?</p>
<p>Same with: <strong>write and say your affirmations as if it is your reality NOW.&nbsp; Not in the future.&nbsp; Not from a place of &#8220;wanting.&#8221;</strong>&nbsp; I couldn&#8217;t just &#8220;follow&#8221; the rules.&nbsp; I needed to know WHY.&nbsp; What is the vibrational difference?</p>
<p>Most recently, I&#8217;ve been delving into the vibration of FORGIVENESS.&nbsp; I&#8217;ve been hearing about the power, importance and transformational magic of forgiveness for as long as I can remember.&nbsp; But I had never really heard many teachers talk about it from a vibrational point of view.&nbsp; WHY does it work?&nbsp; </p>
<p>Well&#8230; I&#8217;m starting to get the answers I&#8217;ve been looking for, and will be sharing my thoughts in posts to come.&nbsp; Until then though, I thought I&#8217;d share with you something to take in as you contemplate forgiveness in your own life.&nbsp; I&#8217;d LOVE to hear about your thoughts and experiences with forgiveness.</p>
<p>Check out the video above and Azim&#8217;s book (link below).&nbsp; I read a few excerpts on amazon.com and was hooked.&nbsp; I ordered the book for myself and a friend who is going through a very challenging time.&nbsp; </p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Secrets-Bulletproof-Spirit-Bounce-Hardest/dp/0345506030/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1255277884&amp;sr=1-1" target="_blank">The Secrets of the Bulletproof Spirit: How to Bounce Back from Life&#8217;s Hardest Hits</a> by Asim Khamisa and Jillian Quinn</li>
</ul>
<p>May your heart and life know the freedom, love and light of forgiveness.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Okay, I get it!&nbsp; Those nudgings I was feeling about mature women who are out there on their own was NOT my imagination.&nbsp; By the time this posts you may or may not see a ton of comments here on my blog, but I can assure you, I&#8217;ve received long, heartfelt, intimate letters privately.&nbsp; And &#8220;mature women on their own&#8221; are hungry for &#8220;something&#8221;.&nbsp; </p>
<p>I am compelled now more than ever to find a way to serve and the Universe has been sending me ALL KINDS of inspiring ideas about just how to do that.&nbsp; I&#8217;ll be talking to my mentor/coach this week to run things by her and do more brainstorming and will keep you all posted.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I finally found a word to describe how I&#8217;m feeling and what I&#8217;m doing since my mom passed away on May 15th.&nbsp; I&#8217;m <em>unwinding</em>.&nbsp; As her caregiver for four years, even when I wasn&#8217;t &#8220;doing&#8221; stuff for her, my mind was preoccupied.</p>
<p>I did a lot of things &#8220;right&#8221; in caring for her and caring for myself while I was caring for her.</p>
<p>I slept.</p>
<p>I ate.</p>
<p>I asked for help.</p>
<p>I received help.</p>
<p>I&#8217;d set intentions.</p>
<p>I&#8217;d meditate.</p>
<p>I&#8217;d exercise when I could.</p>
<p>I&#8217;d read helpful books.</p>
<p>I&#8217;d open my heart.</p>
<p>I&#8217;d set boundaries.</p>
<p>I&#8217;d feel my feelings&#8230;&#8230;</p>
<p>And yet, the one thing I couldn&#8217;t do was ELIMINATE the fact that my mom was battling cancer and I was her caregiver.&nbsp; It was among the hardest things I&#8217;ve ever gone through and it was stressful no matter how you sliced it.&nbsp; I would have LOVED to create a very different reality, but hard as I might, I couldn&#8217;t.&nbsp; I wanted control over everything and I had control over nothing!</p>
<p>As I find myself unwinding, I find myself experiencing S-P-A-C-E in my life in ways I haven&#8217;t for a long time.&nbsp; Space to be.&nbsp; Space to have nothing vying for attention in my brain.&nbsp; Space to be spontaneous.&nbsp; Space to rest.&nbsp; Space to catch up on the mundane.&nbsp; And in the space, I&#8217;m feeling things I haven&#8217;t had the space to feel in a long time.&nbsp; Loneliness for one.&nbsp; I realized the other day that I have no social life.&nbsp; And I haven&#8217;t for a looooong time.&nbsp; So, with that awareness, I&#8217;ve become clear about some new intentions.&nbsp; To reconnect with friends and make new ones.&nbsp; What a happy thought!</p>
<p>Anyway, I digress&#8230; what I wanted to share is that in these spaces, I reconnected with an important Law of Attraction concept.&nbsp; And it relates to one of the biggest distortions out there.&nbsp; It goes something like this:&nbsp; <strong>Just because we&#8217;re told that we &#8220;create our reality&#8221; does NOT mean that we get to CONTROL our reality.&nbsp; We don&#8217;t.</strong>&nbsp; </p>
<p>Just like we don&#8217;t get to control what the economy is doing, what world leaders are doing, what the weather is doing, or what our loved ones (or enemies for that matter) are doing,&nbsp; we also don&#8217;t get to control how blessings manifest in our lives, small and large, how miracles occur, or how the Universe orchestrates things better than we could ever imagine.</p>
<p><strong>Creating our reality is about CHOOSING how we will RELATE to what the Universe is giving us at any given moment.</strong>&nbsp; There will always be events and conditions we&#8217;d rather NOT experience.&nbsp; Our power, however, is not decided by whether or not we can determine a certain outcome (i.e. get control over the situation).&nbsp; </p>
<p>Instead, our power as co-creators comes from&#8230; </p>
<p>1) ACCEPTING what is (i.e. releasing any resistance that might give an unwanted situation more life) </p>
<p>2) SUSPENDING JUDGMENT (i.e. rather than labeling something as &#8220;bad,&#8221; we tell ourselves, &#8220;It is not good, it is not bad.&nbsp; It simply is what it is.&#8221;)</p>
<p>3) REMAINING OPEN AND TRUSTING THAT THERE IS GOOD HERE (&#8230; because Source is ALL-GOODNESS and Source is All-That-Is.&nbsp; Therefore there MUST be GOOD here.)</p>
<p>4) ALLOWING THE GOOD TO BE REVEALED&#8230; and when it does&#8230;</p>
<p>5) GIVE GRATEFUL THANKS!</p>
<p><strong>THIS is how we create our reality!</strong></p>
<p>Choose YOURS &#8211; okay?</p>
<p>Sonia</p>
