		<description><![CDATA[<p>"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder"</em>, the old adage goes. I would dare say, that it isn't just beauty, but <strong>everything that is in the eye of the beholder</strong>. As the beholder of your own life, how are you viewing it?</p>

<p>Last night <strong>I had an experience that brilliantly illustrates how one situation can be viewed differently depending on the attitude of the 'beholder'</strong>.</p>

<p>I was enjoying a lovely walk at dusk, enjoying the fresh air, marveling at the gorgeous moon and clear skies. Suddenly, I heard a sound that... <em>[This is an excerpt. Click here to view the whole post and listen to the audio sample.]</em></p>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;">At some point in the process of honing Deliberate Creation skills, <strong>someone will get mired in their contrast and ask "how do I get rid of contrast?"</strong>. Contrast is part of the experience of living in duality. So until you move on to another dimension without duality, Deliberate Creators are called to use their skills <em>deliberately.</em></p>

<p style="text-align: left;">While <strong>I have broached the subject that <a href="http://www.affirmingspirit.com/blog/2008/11/everything-a-blessing/" target="_blank">'everything is a blessing'</a> many times</strong>, now more than ever this message is important to truly embody. The time for philosophizing is over. <strong>Now it's time to LIVE what you have learned and continue to learn.</strong></p>

So, after a great deal of heart-felt thought, <strong>I have made the decision to close down the AffirmingSpirit Updates newsletter mailing list</strong>. If you signed up for this list, the last email will be sent April 5, 2013 to notify you of this change.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[For years now, I have understood and been teaching the power of vibrational alignment. <strong>I don't just teach this stuff, I live it and apply it to every area of my life!</strong> This also means that much of my life is a work in progress as I move toward what I am desiring to create...each improvement leads to a new vantage point from which to decide 'what's next?'. This constant growing is, as they say, what keeps life force flowing through me.

<strong>Sometimes, though, life experiences have me questioning what I know to be true.</strong> Questioning everything until you receive answers that feel right can be a good thing. This time, I am questioning if the food we consume is only affected by our vibration (as some teachers say) or if there is more to the story.

<p>If you are an artist, then I don't need to tell you how much that type of creativity requires <strong>openness and willingness to let go...of thoughts,  preconceptions, and expectations</strong>. Successful entrepreneurs and manifestors benefit from letting go, too.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>Years ago, I knew someone <strong>who used to call me every few hours insisting that she 'needed me' to solve the crisis-of-the-moment</strong>. In reality, none of these crises actually existed, except in this person's mind. Despite being fully capable of handling these crises herself, she had convinced herself that I was the *only* person who could help.</p>

<p>Initially, I spent copious time patiently reassuring her and answering her same questions over and over and over every time. Talking to her positively, encouraging her to see the bigger picture. Meanwhile, <strong>I kept wondering WHY this particular person constantly  calling with dramatic stories of needing rescue</strong>.</p>

<p>Then, it dawned on me.</p>

<p><strong>I don't just teach about deliberate creation and processes like affirmations, visualization, and meditation - I live it and I practice.</strong> I recognize it is my choice. Every day. Every moment. Even when I thrash around in resistance, I know that there is a choice to be made.</p>

<p>Sometimes it's easy to make the choice to think better-feeling thoughts, and I do. Sometimes it's hard to make that choice, and I yet I still do. Sometimes I am so<br />

<p>Born with a rare disease that only 2 other people on the planet are known to have, her body is unable to create fat. Before you get jealous, realize that Lizzie's parents were told she'd never walk, feed herself, or live a normal life. Doctor's told her parents, "don't expect much". <em>[This is an excerpt.

<p>I needed to reboot and regroup – and the first step was to begin fine-tuning my inspiration. To do this, I had to stop.</p>

<p><strong>I stopped…</strong>

…writing blog posts that felt like pulling teeth

…forcing myself to have something to say

…expecting myself to write anything, at all (I can hear the social media experts GASPING all the way over here!)

…and found the silence within to rekindle my inspiration</p>
