I’m very stoked to announce that the first two books in my Carving My Life series are published! They are available both in print and as eBooks. I’m so pleased with them – they’re beautiful! You can read about and get them here: AngelaTreatLyonBooks.com

During the weeks I was flat with pneumonia recently, I had a hard time putting one thought after the next. I didn’t even feel like reading. Now that’s not me at all – you KNOW how much I love to read!
I’m used to having a razor-sharp mind, and I hated feeling so muzzy and non-functional.
Tapping helped, but didn’t quite get at the core of what was going on, and remained frustratingly foggy.
My good friend Rebecca Marina Messenger told me about her teleclass in which I could clear up my head.
She maintained that if your hypothalamus was ‘shrouded’ by any one or all of 3 triggers, you just couldn’t think straight or have the energy you need to get through each day.
She said that by clearing your “Shrouded Hypothalamus,” you could “fix your metabolism, get charged pp, and have brilliant ideas, feel wonderful…”
I was excited – and frankly, a smidge skeptical.
How do you go about announcing that you feel like you’re coming back from the land of the almost-dead?
Well. Maybe that says it!
See, five years ago, I had two near-fatal internal organ failures. I got into surgery by the skin of my teeth, and somehow I am still here today to be grateful and tell about it.
There were two key things that happened that impacted my life heavily – one in the emergency ward and one after the surgery.
The first one was when the duty doc examined me and found what he assumed to be impossible blood pressure readings. He sat back, shook his head and said, with a loud, very authoritative voice, “You should be dead – I don’t know how you aren’t!”
Something in my system grabbed that sentence and stashed it deep within my being. I didn’t even know the impact it had until this month.
The second one was after the surgery. I gained and gained and gained so much weight that I began to look like a stuffed elephant.
Not that I didn’t try to get my body back to balance again! I did the HCG diet and lost 20 pounds…and then regained 40. I kept trying, feeling more and more frustrated each time. I did this program, that diet, the other cleanse.
Nothing did it for me.
Now though, I have finally found something that really works, and doesn’t make me feel deprived, angry and irritable. I’ve been impatiently waiting to see if it really does work – and hold, because I wanted to show you specific results. And yes, it’s working, and holding! (link to see pix at end of this note)
During a session with my coach, I was asked if there was anything that I could think of that would get in the way of dropping the extra pounds on my body, and getting back into balance physically.
I was shocked and amazed to hear the voice of that emergency ward doctor speaking right in my ear – “You should be dead!”
A part of me had been living as if my life was a secret – if I ‘should’ be dead, someone might catch me! Someone might punish me! Someone might kill me to get me where I ‘should’ be – dead!
You can’t! Need to do a little tapping, Angela?
Yup – and you can bet I did!
And don’tcha know it, within a day or two, I had a call from an old friend who introduced me to the metabolic reset program with which I have now (trumpets, please!) dropped 9 pounds and shrunk 9″ overall – so far.
Once you get through the deniers of life parts of you that hang out in your mind, you can start crankin’!
What’s lurking in your mind that needs to be handled so you can live a healthy, fulfilling life?
If you’ve been piling on extra poundage over the years and have done every last thing you could think of to drop it off, let me tell ya – it’s not your body you need to focus on first, it’s your mind.
Once you have one or two of the most powerful detractor-factors taken care of – pow! – the Universe moves to help you fill your desires. If one of them is regaining your strength and health, guess what – the methods to do that will appear!
That’s what’s happened for me. And now, even my neck is smaller by 2.25″ – I mean, who can exercise their neck? It’s just…happened.
Can you say, “Angela’s doing a Happy Dance”?
I’m looking for 5 people who want to clean out old stuff like I did.
If that’s you, let me know. You and I will meet on my conference line and do some tapping to resolve and handle the nay-sayers that keep you from being healthy and feeling fantastic.
I give you the session and record the session for you. You give me the OK to make the audio part of my free offerings to people who decide to use the metabolic reset program. (You can use an alias if you’d like.) That way you can help others who feel the same way you do right now.
Think about:
• dropping extra pounds or
• getting your health back after surgery or
• getting relief from or eliminating the physical pain you’ve gotten so accustomed to or
• not spending a fortune on doctors or pain pills anymore and
• feeling energetic and strong like you haven’t in years….
• (add your own desire __________________ )
What comes up in your mind?
Does it sound like this?
• No way – I’ll never be able to look good again.
• I’m afraid I’ll feel hungry and deprived.
• I’m too old.
• I’ve tried everything, it just will never go away.
• I bet this program won’t handle (fill in with your specific health complaint(s) _______ ).
• If I get slender, men/women will hit on me again and I’ll feel really uncomfortable.
• If I regain my strength I’ll have to start working harder again.
• My spouse controls the money and s/he’ll just laugh and say, again, “don’t be silly, that last thing you tried didn’t work, why throw good money after bad?”
• It’s just another thing that works for everyone else on the planet but me.
• Add yours _______________________
Anything like that hit your mind?
Yes? Let’s get it handled!

I’m really tired of hyped-up programs telling you how to build a website that cost you thousands. It just isn’t necessary. So I’m always on the lookout for people who do good honest work for way less than the norm.
I found Pamela Wilson a couple weeks ago, and I like her work a whole lot. She has an amazing knack for lining up very simple things to do that can revamp your website fast.
If you’ve been looking at your website and wondering how to make it pop more, I think you might like this.
You’ll see website experts Wendy Cholbi and Pamela Wilson take an ordinary website and give it some visual oomph with just a few simple steps. You’ll see how you can:
• Make 2 very simple choices early on to give your site “personality” and a memorable style (this is so cool!)
• How to use specific simple items to pull your readers’ eyes into the words on your pages
• Do an easy copy and paste to build your email list or direct visitors to important pages on your site
CLICK HERE to get it – helps you build a site with a look that matches your personality.
No fluff, no blather, good stuff. See you there!
I bet you know at least one person who’s fighting anger, depression, irritability, nightmares and unwanted memories.
Maybe a vet, or a public service person from any arm of the military, police, coast guard or fire department.
Maybe someone who’s been abused, gone through any kind of shock or accident, or loss of a spouse or child.
Maybe a woman who’s been raped, hit, degraded or made to think little of herself.
Do they seem like they’re living a happy, contented life?
I didn’t think so.
Many people who have gone through traumatic experiences might seem OK on the surface, saying, “Oh I”m alright, don’t bother with me!”
But I guarantee you they really, really suffer when they’re alone and no one’s watching.
And of course, some can’t hold the anger or hurt in – hitting their spouses, children or even friends, striking out from the unrelenting, ceaseless, intense pain inside them. Even though they hate themselves later for striking out. Even though they do their best not to.
No one should have to go through that. NO one.
Lately I’ve been cruising Facebook a bunch. Probably too much. I get hooked by the posts on what’s happening out there in the world.
Many of them are really upsetting to me – reports of heinous things people do to each other, and what we, human kind – or rather, humans-not-so-kind – are doing to the planet.
But what upsets me the most is the multitude of people who believe there is nothing they can do about anything.
They whine, bitch and complain, but never offer any viable solutions to anything. Nor do they make any attempt to sign petitions or support the movements already in place that are directed towards resolving what these people are moaning about.
Those upsetting things just keep on keeping on, with people sitting on their butts, watching, complaining or being critical, but doing nothing.
Complaining is great – but only if you do it enough to fully see and understand what it is you really, really do NOT want in the world or in your life.
But then it’s time to ask yourself, “what would I prefer, instead? And what is at least one step I can take towards creating what I prefer?”
Even such a small thing as signing an online petition is helpful. I used to scoff and laugh, thinking online petitions were a farce. But in the past couple of years I have seen some mighty victories achieved because thousands of people were concerned enough to put their names on petitons about issues they cared about.
Over the past few weeks, many of you have written me saying you feel stuck right now. Yes. It’s the change of seasons, and if you understand such things, it’s also Mercury retrograde. You’re not alone.
Dealing with being stuck has been a very common theme in my life. I used to want to end my life, before I found EFT. That’s been gone for 12 years now, and I don’t miss it it a whit, I can tell you!
Over the years when I did feel like exiting the planet just to be rid of the despair I felt, I developed a few tried and true ways to deal with stuckness.
I want to share with you a couple of my tiny but powerful exercises that I know will work for you, too. I’ve used them a lot this summer as I struggled with intermittant illness and fatigue, and what a blessing they have been!
Here’s what to do….
I received a note from someone today who said she felt torn between doing this and that and couldn’t make up her mind, and it was starting to make her feel crazy.
Can you relate? I sure can! It’s never a question of WHAT to do, it’s always a question of WHEN.
A few years ago in the hospital recovering from surgery, I felt pretty overwhelmed by pain and hallucinations from the drug they were giving me. I found that the only way out was to focus within. When I got out of the hospital, I decided to see how to use that little technique in regular daily life. And it works!
Each time you feel like you need to do this but your heart wants to do that…or…you better do this to make some money or do that to help your kids…or, fill in the blank _____ just do this:
People go through their whole lives chasing everything in the material world, and they fail to discover the greatest treasure of all, which is within them.
Shut your eyes to the outside world. Direct your thoughts and words to the inside of you. The Master within you is the key to all the treasures in the world.
~ Rhonda Byrne, The Secret

Someone asked on FB if she should have a website or a FB biz page for her art. Someone said to set up a print site as well (FAA) as her site or FB.
This is what I answered:
I sell pretty steadily from FineArtAmerica.com (FAA). But really, you asked about whether to have a website, or to use FB instead.
From experience, I say do both. And actually, do all three!
1. Have a solid portfolio site you can send people to to see the best examples of your work (and sell originals).
2. Have your FAA site to sell prints of your best work, so you can leverage your originals (get your own FAA account here).
3. Have FB and build your ‘fan’ base so you can send them to yr site and FAA.
FB is eternally screwing with code and deleting stuff – if you depend on them to maintain your business connection, you’re just asking for trouble, because your FB pages are NOT yours – they are FB’s. And as such, if they decide to shut you down, or if they change algorithms or anything else, you can’t do a damn thing about it.
So create YOUR own solid foundation with an attractive portfolio site – with purchase functions if you can sell your work online – and use FB to connect with ppl.

If you think you have too little money and too much overwhelm, you’ll probably want to read this!! (If you don’t experience that, maybe someone you know might, and this could help them!)
Lately, I’ve been meditating. A LOT.
Because I find that, when I connect, I see beauty, kindness, generosity and so much love my heart almost feels like it will burst sometimes.
When I connect, and suddenly each thing I used to see as ‘wrong with the world’ becomes another opportunity for me to say, “hey! We need to speak up and see that that changes!” and make some little post on FB or twitter. That, I have enough energy to accomplish.
I connect, and see that every last instant in my life is an opportunity for me to feel, radiate and shed love on myself, someone else, some thing or some place.
I’ve noticed many people saying, “I don’t have confidence in myself” or “I need more money,” and “I feel so overwhelmed!”
Q: If your thoughts really do create what you experience, and you think don’t have enough money … what thoughts could you start thinking that would create more money in your life?
A: Ditch the thoughts you’re so used to having run through your head, and create new ones. And think them. A Lot. Especially if and when the old crappy ones try to come back!
Q: If your thoughts create overwhelm, what thoughts could you start thinking that would relieve that overwhelm?
A. Replace the old ones and start rethinking your life into the way you want it to be. That’s called being a creator! You, the Artist of your life!

Recently I’ve been posting a series on Facebook of specific women in history, and each post is accompanied by pertinent information about each woman.
The series has enjoyed a pretty resounding success, and I’m very pleased!
People have been thanking me for the series, saying it has been educational, inspiring and exciting. They are enjoying seeing how these women overcame cultural or family opposition, how they did incredible things and contributed to science and other disciplines in a big way.
And often they had to live their dreams hidden from sight, concealing their true sex, or undergoing tremendous physical exertion.
And they succeeded, even when they were run over or ignored by the men in their fields, and even completely forgotten within a short time after their deaths. Sometimes even obliterated from history by power-hungry sons.
So, I thought I’d create another series – short, downloadable ebooks, with more pictures and a longer, more in-depth write-up about each one. This is volume #1. I hope you enjoy reading it and appreciating who each woman in it was, and how cool the things they did were.
If you’d like a copy of the FREE first volume containing the first set of amazing women of old, just click HERE (opens in a new window). I’d sure appreciate it if you let me know if you like the series enough for more.
I’m considering charging for future volumes and donating a hefty part to some women’s organization – not sure which one(s) yet. What do you think?

It’s time to soften. From what I see in the media, we’re about to lose the health of our entire planet. It’s time for the love of power and the warrior mindset in the power-seeking greed-saturated armed forces, police forces and government, to end.
I’m not sure where the rough, cruel, brutal and barbaric mentality started to be OK in the mainstream, but I’m really, really tired of it. Okra farms being raided by SWAT teams? Little old ladies who are handicapped being pulled out of their cars and thrown on the ground by big beefy cops? 14-year old girls arrested for FB posts? Come on, this is unreal and should NOT be a part of our every day reality!
If you look at movies that were made before the early 70s, you’d think they were slow-moving and vapid compared to the fast-moving, hard-hitting, power-action movies we’re so used to now. The acceptance of brutality has came about slowly and insidiously over the past 30+ years. TV, increasinlgy war-oriented movies and our war-obsessed media has increased our numbness to the harshness portrayed. Yes, man has been brutal down the ages. In war. Looting, raping, pillaging…after conquering places. But EVERY DAY? It’s wrong wrong wrong.
The ‘ethics’ of war changed radically in WWII when, all of a sudden, it was deemed OK to bomb civilians. Used to be only military installations. But now not only civilians are bombed, it’s done by mechanisms far away or completely hidden from the intended targets. No ‘intelligence’ about the hits at all. So what if it’s 40 village leaders sitting at peace talks! Kill ’em! So what if it’s a bunch of women and children, or a wedding, or a school – kill ’em! Send that stealth bomber in! It’s wrong wrong wrong. (These are all real things that have actually happened.)
Do you remember seeing anyone dressed up like storm troopers before seeing Star Wars? Now we see them all the time – in huge weapon-laden black outfits prepped to withstand all kinds of attack, on SWAT teams and sneak elite ninja anti-bad-guy raiders. In white as chemical warfare agents. We’re so used to seeing these guys we don’t think twice about it anymore. Big black helicopters hovering over your house? No biggie. The low hum of jets overhead at night from the local air base? No biggie. Our own gov spraying chemicals on us in the atmosphere? No biggie. It’s wrong wrong wrong.
In my maybe not-so-humble opinion, this warrior mentality has to stop being the be-all, end-all mindset for our times. I want to see all of us who care go within and start to soften the hard attitudes keeping us from connecting to our divine source. I figure that as long as I am in fear, anger, grief, rage, arrogance, I cannot connect – cannot even hear or see or feel the way in.
How to go in and soften? How to go in and soften and not become a complete wimp?
Sit still. Close your eyes. Listen. Allow the regular sounds of the world just be – they just ARE, and that’s OK. Let your attention to your thoughts and the world slip away. Listen deeper, for the hum of the earth, of life itself. It can sound like the deep thrum of the ocean. It can sound like the shushing of night insects, or even the shush of traffic. It can sound like the wind in the tress – even though there may not be any wind.
Listen to those deeper sounds. Allow them to take you to that place in your mind where you are way more than just a hunk of flesh. Where your awareness extends out light years.
Now look at your life and find the things you are truly grateful for. Simple things, like the way your dog rushes to welcomes you home or cuddles up to you when you’re sitting down. The look of innocence and delight in your child’s eyes. The way music moves you like nothing else can. The way your pillow feels when you hit the bed at night and the way your body can sink into your bed and be comfortable. I think of all the people lying on cold stone or dirt floors and am so grateful for this bit of comfort.
Allow the hum of the world to keep saturating your inner hearing. Allow it to continue as you go about your day. Allow it to help you remember that it’s not necessary to be cruel, brutal or barbaric in any of your dealings. Focus on how your heart feels.
Remember to be kind, generous, creative, bold and soft all at once. Be in love with love, rather than the love of power. Take a stand and speak up for the things you think count. DO love. That’s softening without becoming a wimp.

I created this little Artist’s Bitch and Moan and Happy Ending Ebook just to have fun.
If you’ve ever wondered about ‘having’ to exercise, ‘having’ to ‘eat right’ or ‘having’ to market or go to a J.O.B. (just over broke) – you’ll enjoy this little poke at our society’s rules.
Go HERE and scroll down a bit and you’ll see it under FREE Ebooks!
I heard this question from someone and thought it was brilliant: “What would you have to believe about yourself in order to feel successful?”
For me, it first brought up the question of what success meant to me. I had to define it in my own terms in order to have a relevant answer.
And then, ‘what I would have to believe’ would be in feeling terms, not dollar terms, the way so many people gauge their success.
I want to feel calm, relaxed, excited and enthusiastic, inspired and inspiring and like I’m Doing My Life Right.
So I’d have to believe that I have value, that I CAN inspire people, that having the pleasure of feeling calm, excited and enthusiastic and relaxed is not only OK, but my true nature.
And I’d have to believe I actually am doing my life right, even if I goof up. That’s always been the hardest for me, since I’ve historically been pretty hard on myself, and because I like to have my fingers in so many pies at once. Can you relate?
So just for fun, and to keep myself on track, I often ask myself, what else could I be doing that would make me feel really good about my life? When I get the intuitive answer, I take appropriate action.
In over the past couple of years, I’ve been simplifying more and more. As a result, I’m better able to I integrate all the aspects of my life that I love the best into a more congruent whole.
WHAT ABOUT YOU?
So, I’m really curious. What would you say if someone asked you, “what would you have to believe about yourself in order to feel successful?”
Stop right now and write out your answer, and come back to this when you’re done.
And how do you define ‘success’ to yourself in your own life, on your own terms?
What does success mean for you, relevant to money, friends, family, location, how you feel about you, etc.?
Stop right now and write out your answer, and come back to this when you’re done.

Change Your Mind! with EFT – #1
Now THIS is taking action – DOing your beliefs!
I invite you to look at your own life and look around for things you do, too, that reflect your inner values. And pat yourself on the back for doing them!
And then say, “what ELSE can I do that would make my inner world obvious in the outer world?” And then DO it! Yeah!

Today I woke up feeling really sad. Then it changed to anger. And then I had 3 phone calls all in a row, all from people who said, “I woke up feeling so sad today!”
Why does that happen?
I believe that we live in an energetic river. Not on it – IN it. Like being a star in the Milky Way – the star isn’t riding ON it, it’s IN it, an integral part of it.
And once in a while, a mood-current passes by, and we get caught by it – or not.
How do you know whether it’s yours, or just a mood-current in the cosmos?
I ask myself, “if I’m really sad about something in my life, what could it possibly be?”
I check all the levels of my life – work, family, play, past, present, future, etc. – and if there isn’t anything to really pin the feeling on – except for maybe an old, worn out story I’ve repeated since forever – then – it must be The River’s!
So I pretend I’m The River, and I tap on “I feel so sad!” and intend peace and joy.
If I find something within my life that brings up sadness, then…guess what! I tap on it, and intend peace and joy.
It really doesn’t matter if it’s yours or not – just tap and intend peace and joy. And get the energy running through your body smoothly and clearly.
And then, look around and see what you can do NOW, TODAY, to bring to the ‘outer’ world a reflection of your ‘inner’ world.
DO something that says, “I value Beauty,” or “I value kindness,” or “I value sharing EFT with a complete stranger.”
You’ll feel really good when you do.

I was really shocked and surprised this weekend when I was called three separate times by three complete strangers for help with suicidal feelings!
How grateful do you think I am to have the ability to calm someone down and help them see different, more peaceful and self-loving perspectives? 13 years ago I couldn’t have, because I didn’t know EFT yet.
And even though I work as a biz and marketing coach, and more recently as a Kindle Book Author Coach, how could I refuse these people? NOT!
I’ve heard from all 3 today, and all 3 feel better. I’m a lucky, lucky gal.
What are YOU lucky about?
What do YOUR skills and talents enable you to do that make you feel grateful – whether you make money from whatever it is or not?

I was interviewed by EFT Tap Fest’s Jondi Whitis last week, as to “Why You MUST Show Up.”
We had a blast, talking about how critical it is right now in our human journey to speak our truths, to show up and say it like it is.
With this query, Jondi made me think of an old-time mentor of mine who used to say, “If you don’t show up for yourself, how will Your People recognize you?”
Please join us here and listen in – do you agree? Disagree? What do you think?

Gayla Chepourcoff, the Kindle Course author I told you about a couple of weeks ago, whose first book was Recipes from Always Enough Ranch: How To Make Simple Soft Cheese, has done it again!
She not only has written and published her second book, but has already moved close to 300 of them!
I think you’ll like the little story: It’s Not Your Pig!
FEEDBACK ABOUT THE KINDLE COURSE:
I felt a difference when I woke up on the day after the tele-class. My feelings of overwhelm had disappeared, and I can only attribute this to borrowing benefits, even though I was not physically part of the class when you did the tapping! Thanks so much, this course has changed so much for me!

This is so inspiring and bringing a new perspective…. You do so much more than just help with book writing – you bring in so many other things that are helpful, like “How to make promoting as much fun as writing”. These things are so important to other areas of our business life and bring a breath of, well, fun to it! I totally appreciate what you are doing for us, as in doing them for us, you do them for you. The circle of community, gotta love it! :^)

I have a question for you: once you have tapped through your downward spiraling, painful beliefs about yourself, what will you do next?
Have you thought about that?
When I first started tapping, my thoughts and my emotions were so tangled up, and my experience of life was so painful, that if you had asked me that question
I’d have laughed and exclaimed, “there’s actually something beyond this? Are you kidding? There’s something else?”
I didn’t see how absurd that was – if I didn’t believe there was something better, why would I bother to try and tap? Ah well.
But 6 weeks later, after tapping every day, my 35-year depression was gone, my suicidal thoughts were gone, and rays of light were bursting through into my head where there had been not much more than sheer will to get by and try my best and what seemed to be huge, overwhelming darkness.
Many of the you here on my newsletter list have been swinging along with me almost ten years – you must have been able to clear a ton of rocks from your pain pile by now!
What are you doing with your freedom, now that there is light coming through and into what used to be your dark inner room of fear and self-doubt?
IT’S TIME TO MAKE YOUR DEEPEST HEART’S DESIRE COME TRUE!
You know, even if you have NOT gotten completely clear of a hunk of pain, it’s still time to get down and dirty and hunker into your deepest dreams.
We need you.
The whole planet does. Because you have something of value that not one single other person out there has.
And we need you to share that with us.
Maybe it’s the way you use EFT.
Maybe it’s the way you write with tongue-in-cheek, black hysterical humor that gives us a new perspective on life.
Maybe it’s the way you absolutely adore your kids.
Maybe it’s how you cheer us up on FB.
Or maybe it’s how you talk about politics and help us make more sense of it.
Maybe it’s simply the way you make cheese.
Whatever it is, I want you to expand on it NOW.
Quit focusing on what’s wrong with you or your life, and focus on what’s lovely, loving, generous, fun and bright.
And write about it, sing about it, play your guitar or kazzoo about it, stand up on a podium and speak about it, send in articles to magazines, newspapers and blog- sites and facebook, tickle your kids with it, have an exotic night with your lover about it…be it, feel it, share it!
IT’S TIME!!!
Because life is NOT about feeling miserable, broke, hungry, depressed or afraid! And that’s what all this tapping is focusing on!
EVERY TIME YOU TAP, I want you to do this:
for every single thing you tap about,
choose the opposite to tap yourself into.
For example:
If you say to yourself, I feel terrible because I don’t have any money, first you tap on how you feel: I feel angry, hurt, sad, afraid, helpless…
Then you ask yourself what is really true? Even if you only have a penny, you can’t say you don’t have any money! You’d be lying! So here’s what you tap and say: “I have money, and I can have more!”
And you tap until that feels great to you.
HERE’S THE PLAN:
1. Ask yourself; “what’s going on?”
2. How do you feel about it?
3. Ask your heart, “If you and I could be/have and do anything at all, what would it be?
4. How will you feel when you have that reality?
5. TAP ON ALL THAT!
6. When you feel calm and more expanded, ask yourself now: “What are 3 mini-things I can do right NOW to help that happen?”
(Mini means really, really small! Like, take a nap, make a phone call, pet your dog for a minute, hang with your kid, feel your heart, clear your schedule for today….MINI.
7. Now go DO those things. One at a time.
8. Ask again, and DO again…and stay connected to your heart and its honest, simple desires.
WHAT’S NEXT FOR ME? GETTING MORE PEOPLE OUT THERE!
That’s why I’m focusing on helping people write Kindle book! It’s time they got out of their little shells and started sharing their skills, knowledge and expertise with the rest of us.
What will YOU do once you get yourself out from under the pain-pile?
DO it now! OK? Don’t even wait for the pain to go away.
Because the rest of us need you and your perspective,your humor, your intelligence, your love!
Think of it like this:
You’re driving from Houston to NY. Are you going to
1. Drive at 2 miles an hour, stopping and examining and focusing on each pain-pothole along the way so your road will be clear and you can move on…
Or
2. Focusing on having fun driving to NY, watching the signs, taking the right turnoffs, slowing down and going around potholes, filling them in as you go, and moving on again?
I hope you said #2!
Remember I love you!!!

For 35 years, I spent untold time every day quietly contemplating ways to do myself in. Even if the thoughts were only in the back of my mind. Thankfully, I never had even a fraction of the courage/stupidity to do it.
I wasn’t ill and dying, or it might have made a little sense. I just hurt inside, and didn’t know how to get relief. Ever since I was in my mid-teens, I’d felt abandoned and betrayed.
Honestly? I don’t even remember why. But my life looked valueless, hopeless and futile.
Oh, I played cheerful and bright and strong and powerful during the day when I was with other people – especially later on as an adult when I was with my painting and carving students.
But at night I cried myself to sleep. Every night.
A RAY OF HOPE OUT OF THE BLUE
One morning in June of 2001, something happened. As usual, I struggled to wake up from fear-filled chase dreams. I unwound from my nightly fetal position, and my regular habit of crying myself into the new, unwelcome day began.
But just then, a little, brilliant sliver of sun sneaked through a hole in my heavy, dark curtains, right onto my face.
It felt so good, that little ray. I lay there for a bit, just enjoying the warmth and the light.
And then…
If I asked you to tell me a story, what would you say?
Most people I ask say, “I’m not a storyteller!”
But you know what? You are. You’re the narrator of your very own, inner drama. The Show Special of a Lifetime. The Act of all Ages.
And I bet that you have at least one of those droning boring undermining voices that tells you a daily story of, “I can’t”.
Aren’t you bored with that? Really, really tired of it?
What if you could change that “I can’t” story to, “I can and I am!”?
You can. First you have to pay attention to your story to find out where you want to make changes.
See, every little nuance of your personal story is important, because it affects every other part of your story. Imagine changing one small part of it, so you can change all of it! It’s true, it works.
“I DON’T HAVE ____ ”
Here’s a story I hear again and again:
“I don’t have any money.”
Look in your wallet. Look down in the folds of your couch. In your penny jar. In your pockets. On your dresser. I bet you have small change there. I bet you have at least a dollar’s worth of change in your purse!
So when you say, “I don’t have any money,” guess what? It’s not true, is it?
“But Angela, what can I do with small change?”
It’s the small changes that make the big ones. You don’t always have to make a quantum leap – especially if you’re stuck in the mud and can’t even walk, much less leap!
Nano-steps. That’s what you need right now. Later, when you’re free of the mire of your constricting thoughts, you can leap. But you need to get out of the mud first. Here’s how:

If you have a job or are doing something 
right now where you spend most of your time hating what you do, this is for you.
Be careful what you choose to do. Why?
Because as you spend your life minutes and precious life energy on doing whatever it is, you are spending it hating!
That’s not living. That’s dying, inch by inch. That’s not what you’re here for!
Because, as you know, everything is energy. Vibrations, frequencies. And you’re grinding away on a job you hate?
Guess what you’re adding to the Field! Hate!
Do you really want to do that?
I want you to drill down and ask yourself intense questions, so you can find the things in your life that you adore thinking about, fiddling with, telling other people about, creating and making and enjoying the process.
Even the drudge parts that aren’t so much fun but support the essence of the Dream.
When you do that, you send love vibrations out and out and out, and you – and every single one of us on the planet – benefit from it.
DO YOUR PASSION. PLEASE.
.
How would you like to stop struggling with money, as of 2013?
WANT PASSIVE INCOME?
EASILY COMING IN MONTH AFTER MONTH?
YEAR AFTER YEAR?
I want the year 2013 to be a pivotal year for you!
How can it be? When you decide to create real, solid, perpetual prosperity in your life! And if you already feel prosperous, why not more?
There are two things you can do right now, today, to create a pivotal year for yourself – heck, I’ve already started!
FIRST:
Go here and pay close attention to my interview on Daring Dreamers Radio with money-mentor, Joan Sotkin’s message!
SECOND:
The next is…are you ready? Write a Kindle ebook!
UH-OH! Don’t see yourself as an author?
Please KEEP READING – you’ll see how simple it can be!
WHY AN EBOOK?
Aren’t those outdated?
And why Kindle?
1. No, ebooks are not outdated by any means.
2. Because it’s an easy way for you to start creating passive income for yourself (I’ll show you how).
3. And, if you already have passive income, it’s an easy way for you to create more!
GOT MONTHLY PASSIVE INCOME?
No matter what you do for a living right now, if you don’t have some kind of payment from some source quietly coming in month after month without your having to lift a finger, you don’t have passive income.
And I can pretty much wager safely that you’ve worried what would happen to you or your family if you fell down and got hurt, or if you got sick and landed in the hospital for a time. What would happen to you?
Well, I can tell you from personal experience, even if you have insurance, maybe part or all of your hospital bill might get paid, but what will replace the money you usually make every day? Nothing. That can hurt, big-time.
Siren! Red light! Siren! Red flag! Siren!
You don’t have to push that scary scenario to the back of your mind anymore, because I’m going to show you how you can take the very simplest path to create a regular, steady passive income.
Even if you bring in only a few hundred dollars a month – it’s still more passive income than you have now! Could you use more money coming in?
WHERE’D I GET THIS IDEA?
Two months ago, an author hired me to create a cover for his newest ebook.
During the course of our work together, he mentioned that he wanted to start promoting it during the holidays on Amazon and Kindle. He had 4 or 5 other books he’d written before, from which he gets very good monthly income.
I thought, “I can do that, too!”
SO CAN YOU.
And – you can create passive income with subjects and topics that aren’t even in the least related to what you regularly do for a living!
Now – before you go into paroxysms of worry and doubt and “I can’t do that!” exclamations, stop a minute and listen VERY carefully.
Because what I’m going to share with you is so simple and so fall-over-easy that when you see it, you’ll just laugh, instead.
So just keep reading, and stay calm, OK? (Until you feel so excited you can’t sit still anymore, that is!)
GO FROM OVERWHELM TO EASY!
When I thought about writing books for the Kindle, I was thinking about taking information I usually teach in teleclasses and was mentally re-creating it all in ebooks, and it felt overwhelming. I’ve created heaps of info, so if I did that, it would be a LOT of work. I almost threw the idea out.
Then I just happened to see a webinar about writing kids’ books for the Kindle – what an eye opener!
Did you know that there are kids’ books of only 20 pages…half of which are pictures, and the other half one-liner pages???
What??? Can it really be that simple?
I began to think about all the other different things I could write about that have not one thing to do with my life as a coach, artist or radio show host. I could write 2, 4 or 10 page reports! Hey! Who said I had to write 100-page books?!?
So I made a list of all the things I’m good at doing and could write about easily. Then I chose one – cooking! I have some pretty amazing recipes – why not use them to start with?
There are hundreds of how-to books on Amazon – what if I made my favorite recipes into little tiny ebooks? Simple, basic, 2 page ones? And so I started writing.
HERE’S WHAT YOU CAN DO FIRST
Stop reading for a minute, and jot down 2, or 4, or even 10 things you’re really good at.
Why? Because I really want you to enjoy your writing. So choose things that you love to do. Things that you could talk about or write about easily – like a simple how-to.
Now, out of those topics you listed, I want you to just choose one. ONE. Because I want it to be simple and easy, and avoid overwhelm.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR:
1. a topic that you’re really good at,
2. that you love to do,
3. that you can explain in simple words,
4. and that people have always complimented you on, asked you about, or wanted from you.
The one people say any of these about:
“Oh, that’s so cool!” or
“Wow, how do you do that?” or
“Can you do that for me, too?” or,
“You’re so good at that, you should sell it!”
ELIMINATING POSSIBILITIES
1. When I was a kid, people used to ask me to make pencil portraits of them. I was good at it, and I brought in some money each time I did them. But – how could I do that for a Kindle book? I couldn’t see how, nor do I love it enough to write an ebook. So that’s out.
That’s one example of how to eliminate a topic.
2. OK, what then? Hm. Let’s see. I make the world’s most to-die-for home made fudge. It’s the darkest, richest, most addictive, delicious, can’t-help-yourself- from-reaching-for-more-until-it’s-only-crumbs fudge you have ever eaten.
A few years ago, I wrote it down, step by step, and took pictures along the way, and I created an ebook out of it.
But even that’s too complicated. I want it to be easier.
3. Since there are thousands of things you can do in cooking, I decided to take ONE category: soups. What could be easier and more simple?
So in the past 2 weeks, I’ve written out and published three 2-page recipes on Kindle. Three!
Plus, I even wrote a little report on how to swallow pills without gagging! It is a problem for many people, including me. I figured out how to not gag, and I wanted to share my secret.
See how easy it can be?
HOW YOU CAN PICK YOUR TOPIC TO WRITE ABOUT
Pick a topic or subject that is:
• easiest for you to explain
• people exclaim the most about
• you enjoy doing the most
• a problem people struggle with that you have a solution for
• and it is very, very simple to write out
See how easy choosing a topic is?
Now I want to share even more with you:
• how to write your book, booklet or report right
• how to save tons of time writing
• how to create a book-selling cover
• how to publish your book on Kindle

Recently I was invited to take a position as a top expert on a very well-known website for people interested in self-growth.
I felt pleased and honored, and am considering the position. It would mean more possible income and exposure.
But I’m being very careful about whether or not I say yes. Why?
Because everything is some form of energy exchange, and I have a history of give-give-give…exhaustion/burnout/sadness/depression, I am really careful about what I say yes to now.
I ask myself, will I get paid in some form? That might sound mercenary, but let’s be real – I only have so much time and so much physical energy, and I have to be fed in order to keep giving.
Think airplane oxygen scenario – you put your own mask on before you help your kids with theirs. If you’re not breathing, you can’t help them. If I don’t eat or am not fed emotionally, mentally or spiritually, I can’t give, passionate or not.
Qs:
So I always ask myself: in what form will this thing serve me, so I can keep feeling great and continue to serve others? Will it…
• Make me feel good about me: maybe allow me to serve others in a selective way that makes me feel like I’m doing my life right?
• Exposure: to whom, and how many, and would they
be joining my mailing list, and will they appreciate/buy
my products and services…or are they tire-kickers?
• Time: will this thing help me save or compress time so I can do more of my passion?
• Material goods: maybe there’s a gift to an event, or books, or any number of goodies I wouldn’t ordinarily have or get myself, but that I would like.
• Pleasure: maybe this thing I’m offered will make me feel good – like a massage or some health treatment, or energy treatment.
• Money: and if so, will it match what I make now or better, and can I feel good, hold onto my passion, and keep my personal integrity upon receiving it?
The biggest, bottom line Q: is this thing aligned with my heart’s deepest desire?
If not, if it won’t serve me in a way that will allow me to continue to build and expand on what I’m loving doing now – I say no.
