Dancing to the rhytms of my life!

Confession: I’m a musician.  When ever I think of myself, I don’t think in terms of being an internet marketing consultant or a coach.  I define myself as a musician.  My life is full of music – I work to the eccentric rhythms of my CD collection, I cook and dance to the tunes cranking on the iPod (FYI: it takes about 25 songs to make the perfect onion soup), I have a nightly jam session and I’m almost positive that I sing in my sleep (at least that’s what I’ve been told).  Music is a big part of me.

That’s why I’m on a mission: to have people use music to powerfully transform their lives.  I want people to use music as a tool for manifesting their every wish and desire.  If you’re reading this blog, chances are you’re already familiar with some of the basic concepts of manifestation and the things that you can do to manifest your own reality.  I’m sure you’ve been taught to define what you want and then write it down; put it in writing, define it, have clarity.

You’ve probably also been taught to send positive energy out to the universe because when we’re filled with positive energy we are like a magnet for attracting good things to ourselves.

Consider this: music has the innate ability to create this kind of positive energy.  Now granted, not everyone may be as passionate about music as I am, but I’m sure that almost everyone has had the experience of catching a song on the radio that reminds you of your first day of college (mine is We’re Here For A Good Time), that makes you crank the volume and sing along (Crocodile Rock) or make you stop what you’re doing and dance (just about anything with a disco or latin feel!). 

So why not use music as a powerful way to create emotions and positive energy in yourself?

This week, I want every one of you to create your own play list of ten songs that are very inspirational to you.  No rules for what type of songs to include.  This is your personal playlist.  Whatever resonates with you this week should go on that list.  I want you to listen to them daily, once, twice, thrice… as many times as your soul craves the rhythms of your life.  I just found an iPod alarm clock so instead of waking up to traffic reports and someone else’s playlist, I wake to the songs that inspire me and make me want to jump out of bed to meet the day.

So create your playlist and watch your mood soar!  If you want to share your playlist with me, just click on the comment button below.  My iPod needs some fresh inspiration.

Happy listening!

Be in Awe of You

I just read a quote by St. Augustine.  I think it’s really powerful, urging us to marvel and wonder at our own magnificence, our own greatness.

How often have you admired the breathtaking marvels of our world, but failed to admire yourself?

St. Augustine puts it this way:

"People travel to wonder at the height of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long course of rivers, and they pass by themselves — without wondering."

Recommended Daily Allowance of Inspiration Vitamins

I hope you had opportunity to view part 2 of "Beyond Positive Thinking" on Larry King Live last night.  It truly was very inspiring.  My only regret is that the segment, like the one before it, was too short.  Because of time constraints, the participants were compelled to speak quickly in an attempt to say everything they desired in just a few short seconds.  Sound bites are the norm on Larry King, to be sure.

There were many, many lessons and uplifting messages the inspiring panelists shared.  One that came up a couple of times was how important it is that we surround ourselves with inspiring people who support our energy and our journey.

There is much to be said about that, but what I want to share with you today is this quote I found online by a woman who calls herself SARK.  Perhaps you know her?

I had not heard of her nor read any of her books, which include titles like Inspiration Sandwich, Succulent Wild Woman, and Eat Mangoes Naked, among several others.  One of her claims to fame is that the books are written in her own hand, rather than typeset, which is interesting.  I need to check her out.  If any of you read Sark’s books, please let me know what you think.

So, I found a quote online, attributed to Sark, which is very relevant to you and me.  She said, "Inspiring people are vitamins for our spirits. They come in all kinds of disguises and descriptions. If you open your heart to being inspired, they will appear."

What do you think of that?  I like it.

Do you take a daily multivitamin?  It’s so important, since it’s difficult to get all we need with our meals alone.  But what about your  RDA, your Recommended Daily Allowance, of ‘inspiration vitamins’?  Are you taking them on a regular basis?

The key, according to Sark, is to “open your heart to being inspired, (and) they will appear.”  Are you attracting friends, family, business associates who inspire and energize you?

As we hold precious our environment to ensure that it always supports us, may we continue to Inspire and Be Inspired.
