What it takes to live a created life

Are You Running on Oughta-Pilot?

February 24, 2010 | No comments

Are you doing what you were born to do or what you have learned to do? It isn’t always easy to discern the difference. Are you following your heart or your Oughta-Pilot?

What is an Oughta-PilotTM?

The precise definition of Oughta-PilotTM is:

Letting an “ought to” or a “should” be the primary motivation for how you live your life, the choices and decisions you make and the attitudes and feelings that arise therefrom.

Oughta-Pilots can be yours or someone else’s, but they’re stringy and sticky and really hard to get rid of – sort of like the cockroaches in my first apartment.

I spent the first 45 years of my life doing everything others said or thought I “oughta” do. I made myself miserable trying to do and be what my parents, teachers, spouses and so-called friends said I “should”.  It got me nowhere fast. I was suffering because I couldn’t be true to my own Truth.

Then, one day, I woke up and claimed my own BirthRight. Now I live a conscious, created life and take full responsibility for my actions.  And so can you. The time comes when your Truth, your dreams and your desires will no longer be denied or suppressed and you accept your destiny.

I’ve started teaching others how to disconnect their OP’s as well. There is a specific process I have developed and I’m tickled to say, can now share with others. I have folded the process into an all day workshop which I’m scheduling in cities across the country. Contact me to let me know if you’d like me to schedule a workshop in your city.

We’re all trying to do a little better for ourselves, right? Working for things like…

* More Money

* A Better Career

* A More Loving Relationship

* A Healthy Weight and Body Image

* And a “Better Lifestyle” Overall

I’ve got something which can help you do all of this and more. If you…

* need help to define exactly what you want

* need to have your questions answered

* need to learn practices necessary to live a created life

* need to learn specifically how to manifest the health, money, and relationships you yearn for

…then I can help you. :)

My exclusive “Disconnect Your Oughta-PilotTM” program is designed to bring you a new understanding of who you are, what you want and where to go next. You will be ready, willing and able to lead a life of power, passion and possibility.

This is not just for women, men have Oughta-Pilots, too!

I’ll be discussing the process more in future posts.

DES: A Not So Silent Danger

February 1, 2010 | No comments

Were you exposed?

I just lost another friend of mine to ovarian cancer. She was also a DES Daughter and we had shared and commiserated for many years.  DES  continues to steal away women and now men whose mothers took DES to maintain problem pregnancies.

Diethylstilbestrol (DES) is a synthetic hormone that was given to women from 1938 to 1971 who had issues with pregnancy and infertility. The children of those women run a high risk of reproductive tract cancer. When I was growing up, they talked about the DES daughters, but now they have found that the sons are also affected, as are third-generation. There may even be some effects in the fourth generation. The mothers who took it are not safe, either. They run an enhanced risk of breast cancer (like 2 1/2 times higher). I lost my own mother in 1997 to brain cancer, but it began with breast cancer before spreading and her oncologist has said DES was probably a major factor.

Not Just A Human Thing

The worst part of this whole scenario is that even once they found out how bad the effects were from the drug, they continued to inject it into farm animals to encourage them to eat more so there would be more meat. I worked in a feedlot in the late 70’s in Arizona where they regularly gave it as an injection until the cows reached 700 pounds then switched to a different one after that, and all so the cows would be heavier when slaughtered so the people who invested in them got more money. And I’ve heard it was given as late as the 90’s! The results of this hormone are so far reaching, that there have now been correlations discovered between obesity and sterility in humans who ate the DES enhanced foods! Watch for an update and I’ll provide the links to the studies.

No known medical test (such as blood, urine or skin analysis) has been developed that can detect DES exposure. However, the Interactive DES Self-Assessment Guide is designed to help you assess whether you might have been exposed to DES between 1938 and 1971. Just click on the graphic above to be taken to the assessment site.

Go Ask Your Mother

I encourage you all to speak to your mothers, your doctors and your friends. Have your mothers get their pregnancy records because in the early days, women didn’t question prescriptions and may have never known they were given this potentially deadly drug that has had deeper effects than even Thalidomide!

Lexicon For You

January 7, 2010 | No comments

Where do we come up with these things? From our own fertile (and I do mean fertile not feeble) brains.

Here’s a quick CLS Lexicon so you can look up words you may not recognize.

I love the English Language and take incredible delight in tearing it apart to look under the hood!

Oughta-Pilot(TM)

An Oughta-Pilot(TM) is that control mechanism that tells you what you “oughta” do. It can come from inside or outside, but it’s always up to less than your level of magnificence.

Planifest

To planifest a dream is to create  a structure or a plan of action that calls a dream into being. When you planifest a dream, you begin with your vision of the dream already created, manifested and real and you look backwards to see what you did to make it so.

Dreambuilding

Dreambuilding is the process of experiencing what it is you dream of first hand.

And more to come!

“Wait” Is A Four-Letter Word

January 5, 2010 | No comments

How many times have you had to put your dream on hold because you had another so-called “priority”? And how many times have you thought that you had a shot at finally being able to start that business, learn how to paint that painting, begin working on that album or anything else you’ve toyed with doing only to have to put it away once again because “the time wasn’t right”?

How many times have you had to —— W-A-I-T?

DetourYou think you finally have worked hard enough, long enough and sacrificed enough to be able to coast for a while and work on your dream and WHAM! something happens and you have to pack away that precious that you just took out of its protective wrap, lovingly dusted off and set out to grow.

Don’t ya just hate it when that happens? I know I do.

For a lot of us this is a syndrome we are more than familiar with and some of us have even become resigned to the process. But what do you do when the dream takes the lead;  when your dream refuses to be pushed aside any longer?

How many times have you thought to yourself, “When is it my turn?” as you watch your family grow, your significant other pursue their passions and there you are, still holding your breath while you, and there’s that word again, W-A-I-T.

So frustrating, so gut-tangling, so demeaning! W-A-I-T-ing. Yuck!

Ok, so why do you do it? How does waiting to follow your passions serve you? I suggest it must somehow or you’d find a way out of it. When you get to that point when, as a dear friend of mine put it, you “reach that point up with which you will not put”, change happens.

So what are you, gulp, W-A-I-T-ing for? FAM_EVENT_19When will you begin? What’s the payoff to avoid taking the plunge? This is your passion we’re talking about, not someone else’s! How long have you secretly nurtured this dream? And what have you done to call it to you and keep it in existence?

Aha! That’s more to the point, isn’t it? It’s very easy to keep a dream at arm’s length, wishing it would happen to you, wondering what it would feel like to experience xyz, but all the while doing what you’ve always done because it’s safe or because you can’t bring yourself to step off that precipice. I’m going to share something with you… it never is easy. Your dream will never come to you while you do what’s safe; in fact, I don’t believe it will ever come to you at all! You have to take action, make a break with status quo and make that leap of faith.

Planifest Your Future

Here’s a new word for you — “planifest”.  What is planifesting? As the Created Life Dictionary defines the term, it means to create a structure or a plan of action that calls a dream into being. When you planifest a dream, you begin with your vision of the dream already created, manifested and real and you look backwards to see what you did to make it so.  Once you know what that looks like, you create benchmarks that will ensure you do the rest of the steps and after a bit, voila! Your dream is before you.

This also means that you can see the smallest step necessary to get the process started and take it. You don’t have to do everything at once, you don’t have to have the end result just plop right into your lap (although I love it when that happens – it does sometimes!)

So let’s shift what it means to W-A-I-T. Let’s see….

Wisely contemplate

Accumulate data, experiences and build expectation

Invest in yourself/investigate options

Take action

Sounds better, doesn’t it? How about reframing the experience of W-A-I-T-ing into one of preparation, study and forethought?

I mean, face it. Sometimes you have to do things that are less than exciting. And sometimes, others in your family need to be given priority. That’s life. But you cannot and need not surrender who you are and what YOU want.

Dreambuilding for Someday

Dreambuilding for Someday

Just do a little more research into what it will feel like, smell like, sound like when your dreams become tangible. Do some dreambuilding.  For example: My daughter dreams of being a chef and someday owning her own restaurant. She spends her days reading cookbooks, planning meals and trying recipes. We have an appliance store here in town that has beautiful kitchens already set up. We took a picture of her the way she will be someday and now she can keep that in front of her to bring it into focus.

So my friends, dream on and dream big. You get to set the parameters, you get to set the stage. Happy W-A-I-T-ing!
