Here it is! Can you see his little toes?

Why do my horses have fingers and toes and a face on the shoulder? Because they are Magical Beings who can change form according to whim and fancy – why be a boring old human when you sift into Horse or Bird or Whale? Here’s Rock Slide, now polished and all gussied up with a pretty background:

You have probably seen this quote from Albert Einstein: “In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.”

Well, this weekend I had a ton of opportunity…. Imagine my horror when I awoke after the night’s huge storm to no phone line and a computer that wouldn’t turn on – when I had a full schedule of clients and emails to get out!

Sometimes the opportunity is really to take the day off. So I did, and as the computer guy fixed my machine, I had a nice day planning out a few things, resting, reading…and holy cow! 90 bucks to fix the ON button? Wow. Well, at least it wasn’t something impossible to fix!

Why is flexibility important? Because I believe that, as I Deepen my experience of walking my talk and Living my Dream, I must stay ultimately bendable and able to slide, run, duck, laugh and fly when needed, be humble enough to know I can’t do it all, and ask for help when I need it.

So I might plan something, but if the Universe says, “Angela, REST!” then you better believe I’m going to rest. And call a buddy for support! (Thanks, Rebecca!)

Being flexible didn’t mean turning into a wet noodle – I didn’t drop the ball on the court or get out of the Game – I still took the computer down to the Mac Hospital, and I still met with my clients using my cell phone. But I cancelled until today the things I had on my schedule that called for sitting in front of the screen (like writing this note) and using the land line.

Are you that flexible? CAN you be? Because if you can be, your life will run more smoothly and you can be happier with yourself, your life and accomplishments. That’s part of living your Deepest Dream.

How do you create your life so you, too, can Deepen your own Dream?

I invite you to

Many, many years ago, I did a slew of portraits for people. A couple of weeks ago, my brother contacted me and asked me to do ones of his grandkids.

Quite frankly, I didn’t know if I was too rusty, but I said yes anyway – what the heck. Why not try it and see if the old fingers remember what to do, right?

I’m so pleased with the results! Here are photos of the portraits of Hunter and Caroline. Cool, no?

Recently, a friend sent me a long detailed news article all about how the APA (American Psychological Association) had once again refused ACEP’s (Association for Comprehensive Energy Psychology) bid to get approval for energy therapies for continuing education certification. Very disappointing.

It would have been really easy to get upset about it – “why don’t they see how effective it is, what were they (not) thinking, when will it ever be ‘normal’ for energy practices to be accepted….”

BUT…in Dr. Mercola’s newsletter this week, he speaks about how any innovation goes through 3 stages: people laugh at it, thinking it’s crazy; violent opposition; and acceptance into the mainstream.

So, I figure that, since congress is past the laughter and mockery stage and is now on its 4th refusal, acceptance is close behind. Not long now!

How does that apply to you and your own life?

Have you ever thought up something that was so exciting to you that you shared it with your loved ones and friends – only to have them laugh and tell you it was crazy? Or impossible? Or did they (mother, father, husband, wife….) violently oppose any thought of it happening – maybe even forbid you to do it?

Good!

Huh? Why good???

Because now you know you…

In my experience as a Business Success Coach, professional Artist, published Author and Radio Show Host, I’ve found that in order for me to live what I dream, I’ve had to be daringly and sharply decisive, unwaveringly committed to my success, and lovingly relentless about holding my Vision.

I found that, when I got really clear about who and how I want to be, what I want to do and how I want to do it, if I follow a very specific path using very specific steps, I can do pretty much anything I want.

There are 6 Crucial Keys, and I want to share them with you.

I’m passionate about you living your Dream! I want you to stop dithering and complaining and blaming and wasting your energy on shame, guilt, resentment or envy. I want you to stop thinking so much and wondering what other people think of you and wondering if… and how… and when…. I want you to start just doing it. NOW.

How much time do you have left on this planet? None of us knows, and it can go in a nano-second. Will you be delighted with what you’ve done? Or disappointed?

Do you have any idea how valuable

Last year, one of my book-creating coaching clients created a fabulous book, A Willing Thread.

To me, it’s a rich chocolate crazy-quilt of a book. It’s rich, warm, loving and comforting, as well as inspiring and uplifting.

The author, Joy Dolci, is a Coach who only works with a few exclusive people, so to have her wisdom and vulnerability come out in this book is pretty special.

She had a series of life-threatening situations in her life, all of which she has come through and surmounted. The last one debilitated her to the point she practically had to start from zero. Now she’s up and running again and able to do most things we take for granted.

What was most impactful for her during these times of pain and difficulty in function was her very deep, very intense connection with Spirit.

As you access each page of her book – which is more like an open-at-random oracle than a read-through kind of book – you’ll see how she questions Spirit and gets an answer each time. You can see first-hand how she uses tapping to even out the wrinkles in her life, as well as other means to get herself up and going again. It’s a real-life exploration and actualization of the path from pain to ecstasy.

The way she formatted A Willing Thread is unique, to say the least – that’s why I call it crazy-quilt. Each page is a new set of text and images, like a daily vision board, reminder, inspirer.

If you’ve ever wondered how to connect with Spirit or to make your connection stronger, A Willing Thread will help you do it. I invite you to pick up your own copy of A Willing Thread (e-book) here: AWillingThread.com, and see for yourself. And if you are lucky enough to be accepted as one of her coaching clients, you can do a big happy dance.

I want to wish you one of the most awesome, fun, heart-saturated and outrageously profitable year possible!

Can you feel how the energy has shifted?

Only three days ago it was like slogging through cold wet dirty snow about to freeze around all my cells. Today and yesterday I’ve been so energized I can hardly sit still.

If you want that and don’t have it yet, imagine my hand reaching to yours and giving you a whole big bunch of it! Take it and breathe it in – my love to you!

It’s not just a full moon right now, but a full BLUE moon (the name given to the second full moon appearing in a single month), and someone told me there will be an eclipse on top of it! No wonder the increase in energy!

I’m making a wild left turn this next year. It was such a profound experience to almost leave the planet last March, and to take all the rest of the year to recuperate and get my strength back fully, that I am radically changing directions come 2010. I haven’t quite got all the details lined up yet, but will let you know next week – I want you to come along with me!

So – see you next year! Have a delightful turn of the year – please stay safe and sound but do have a baudy time celebrating….

aloha -
Angela

A SURPRISE GOODIE:
President Obama visits my favorite beach! Watch the video HERE. Wonder if I’ll see him thee – or in a cortege as he traipses through Kailua!

DO YOU HAVE A BLOG? Here are a whole bunch of great blogging tips for 2010.

One day a farmer’s donkey fell down into a well.

The animal yipped for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do.

Finally, he decided the animal was too old to help himself and he just wasn’t able to retrieve the donkey anyway. He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well.

At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone’s amazement he quieted down.

A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well. He was astonished at what he saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up.

As the farmer’s neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up.

Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well, and happily trotted off!

Life is going to shovel dirt on you – all kinds of dirt.

The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up!

Each of our troubles is a stepping stone. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up.

The five simple paths to happy-ness:
Free your heart from hatred – forgive.
Free your mind from worries – most never happen.
Live simply and appreciate what you have.
Give more.
Expect more of yourself!

Have you ever had an absolutely outrageous idea for something that you’d really like to do come into your mind and not go away?

Maybe it’s something that you’ve thought about before, and pushed to the back burner or even all the way to the trash simply because even the thought of it was so completely outside your reality.

Or maybe it’s because you just didn’t see how to make it happen, or that you thought you might get a lot of flack for it.

Well, I’ve had an idea like that floating around in my head for a couple of months now. At first I put it in the trash because it simply didn’t fit what I thought I wanted to be doing in the next 6 to 12 months.

But it just wouldn’t stay there. It kept creeping into the back of my mind, onto the back burner, and recently, coming further and further to the front. Until only a couple of days ago, I gave in to it. OK! OK! I get it! Stop bugging me! I’ll do it!

So I’m telling you today that something magical and adventurous is in the dockets for me in the next three months, but I’m not telling you all about it yet, because I want to conserve the creative energy I need in order to get it happening.

In the kind-time, I’ll say this: I have a new, unique program for helping you get new clients and create your success that will knock your socks off.

I’m also creating a teeny tiny group of Elite Intrepid Explorers (12 at the max) who will be able to accompany me, share experiences, feedback and support on this new adventure. It won’t be cheap, but it sure will be extraordinary. I’ll let you know more details within the next week or so. I’m so stoked I can hardly sit still!

If you missed the teleclass this week, you’ll want the audio we made from it now.

Why? Because it was a very powerful call, and as you listen and tap along and do the exercises along with the participants, you can get the same excellent results, too.

I urge you to get it now – not because there is any upcoming deadline you need to meet or anything, but because, more importantly, now is the time we have been waiting for our whole lives. GET IT HERE

We have an amazing opportunity to step forward in these wildly chaotic times and take our stand and say, “Hey! This is how WE want things to go!” And direct the energy in new uplifting directions. And make it happen like we never could before.

So I want you to stop stalling, delaying, waiting, deferring, putting off what your true self wants and knows to be the truth for you. I want you to get up off your butt and increase your energy, your actions and your impact on the world.

When you listen to this audio, not only will you eliminate your procrastination, but you’ll also receive one of the most important tools for shifting your energy in the world (what I’m talking about is faster than tapping, and can be used along with it).

GET IT HERE for just $29.95 (usually would be 79.00).

Have an incredible happy weekend – and I’ll get more information about my new adventure as soon as I can! Can you feel it? I’m buzzing!

Last week I said that if enough people emailed me, I’d do a teleclass on Procrastination.

My goodness! So many people! OK! So, let’s Eliminate Your Procrastination!

I-should-I-should!” and being miserable because you don’t do it, whatever IT is – then I invite you to join us on WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 16th at 5 pm NY time, and we’ll knock procrastination flat for you!

Why? Because you’ll be able to be happy inside yourself – no more nag, nag, nag! Click to REGISTER NOW HERE!
