Turtle Speed

Have you ever felt like a Turtle was your power animal? 





Find out more here 


I love the thought of a power animal!

I have had turtles given to me from as far back as I can remember. I've always been fascinated with their compact ability! Really, I didn't know why I collected them, I just did. I still have the giant one I received as a child, to the tiny one in the window and all the sizes in between. They just make me feel good, connected to the earth.

Think about what animal keeps showing up in your life. Does thinking about the animal give you a genuine warm feeling?  See if something resonates with you... I know I have found one of mine.


Behold the turtle. He makes progress only when he sticks his neck out.
~ James Bryant Conant (1893 - 1978)

Reflections

I'm always amazed at how fast time flies by.

What do you say when you hear, "We are helping people regain their dignity, their health and their financial freedom"? 

Do you say, where can I join?

That's exactly the words I heard this weekend in Baltimore, MD by Dr. Gary Samuelson, Ph.D as well as the words, "Maybe, this is the most significant thing I've seen in my career."

I'm saying, I'm thankful to be in a company where people think like this.


Please watch one of my favorite videos,

“When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds: Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be.” ~ Patanjali

The Journey

When you think of traveling, what comes to mind?

Destination
Weather
Companions
Safety
Preparation

All of these things and more come to mind.

There are lots of life lessons we learn along the way, but really what matters most, in my opinion is the journey you're on. One of the greatest lessons I have learned, is to share my journey with others. There is nothing more rewarding than traveling through life with people that you care about.

If you enjoy going places, stick with me. This is going to be one amazing ride!


“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” ~ Mark Twain

Be the example...

I hear people all the time worrying about our youth. With three young children, believe me, I understand. So, this got me thinking.

What if WE were really responsible for raising our youth?

Let me explain, I believe in boundaries inside of boundaries. I think all children want to to know where the boundaries are, even if they don't realize it. When you set healthy boundaries, children feel safe and are able to spread their wings. There is no greater joy than to see a life really living.

Just remember, even if they don't say a word, they're watching you.

A Day to Give Birth!

If you know me, you might know a little bit about me. And if you didn't know me before, you're going to learn something about me...

See, I've been looking for a home for my ideas for sometime now. It just seemed the name didn't fit so I couldn't move forward. Something special happened today...I founded the 'Giving birth to prosperity' Facebook page and I am thrilled about it.

I would love to share it with you, here it is!

Come 'Like' me on Facebook.

Blessings,
Kathy

Success building



Michael Jordan, one of the greatest athletes of all time, achieved the astounding level of success because he was confident in himself. Michael holds the basketball's leagues record for most missed shots. He was also cut from high school basketball tryouts and didn't make the team. This shows that he didn’t let constant failure stop him from being persistent and pushing through to success and victory.

Today I am focusing on the successes in life.

Jumping in with both feet!

I did it.
I have committed myself to a path of no return.
I love connecting and feeling the energy of others.
I love being open to new experiences and meeting new people.
I think there is so much value in relationships and I feel blessed to be in the relationship business.


Today I started a six week class with Laurel from Illuminating Souls and I am more than ready to do the work. It really makes me think...why did I wait so long?



The most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention.... A loving silence often has far more power to heal and to connect than the most well-intentioned words.

5 and a half years later...

I don't hardly know where to begin. I guess the first thing that comes to mind is, half of my daughter's life in that time frame. My oldest graduated from high school and I became a great aunt, three times and so, so much more. So, here's to living!

The one thing that I realize, it has taken me longer to come out of my cocoon than I expected. Really, I didn't know what to expect, just that I was growing.

I must say, the journey has been interesting and a story to be told...Just not today.

Change is inevitable, growth is intentional. ~ Glenda Cloud
