			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><em><strong><span style="color: #000080;">Are you  dodging bullets (or darts or arrows) in life?</span></strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em><strong><span style="color: #000080;">Are you  having challenge after challenge, and not sure of what to do?</span></strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em><strong><span style="color: #000080;">Do you go  from one valley to another?</span></strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #000080;"><em><strong>Do you  wonder what the solution is?</strong></em></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You may  be trying to lead a 3rd dimensional life with a 3rd dimensional  consciousness.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">That&#8217;s  a difficult path, fraught with bullets, darts and arrows.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #800000;">Learning to  ascend into 4th Dimension Consciousness is the path to mastery of the  3rd dimensional world.</span></h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We live  in a physical world, and at the same time, we live in a world of  Spirit.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The  physical plane of existence is the 3rd dimension, where our 5 senses  help us navigate and function.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0000ff;">A 3rd  dimension consciousness focuses and relies on the 5 senses for its  information and makes its decisions from this place.</span></h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This is  a dodging bullets (or darts or arrows) kind of existence.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The  spiritual plane of existence (the &#8216;other side&#8217;) is the 4th Dimension and  is the world of Spirit accessed through the doorway of your Self.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We all  have multiple spiritual senses.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #800080;">You gain  access to the 4th Dimension by closing your eyes, or by consciously  connecting to the divine within&#8211;to the Endless Source of Love living in  you.</span></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The  physical senses were created for the 3rd dimension, they&#8217;re useless in  the 4th Dimension.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">However,  the reverse is not true. Your spiritual senses, including and primarily  intuition, can function high and well on both sides of the veil: on the  physical plane of existence and on the spiritual.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>If  you truly want to master life on the 3rd dimensional physical plane of  existence:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800080;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Accurately  identify your Self.</strong></span></span> Your life unfolds according to your  self-concept. If you believe, know and see yourself  as the divine being  you are, you will experience and express your divinity in the 3rd  dimension.</li>
</ul>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #800000;">A note on  who you are:</span></span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #800000;">You are God  Life &amp; Love. You are the beloved Child of the Cosmic Consciousness  which created you. You were created whole, perfect and complete. Your  identify has not changed since the beginning of time. Proper  identification loosens and annihilates assumed identities.</span></h3>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000080;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Live  from your Highest Most Holy Self at all times.</strong></span></span> <span style="color: #000000;">Live from a  space of being consciously attuned to the All-Powerful, All-Knowing,  All-Wise, All-Loving force within you. Feel this Power. Love this Power.  Let this Power in you do EVERYTHING.</span> <strong>Allow this Most Holy  Self that is You to make ALL plans and decisions.</strong></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800000;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Develop  your intuition</strong></span></span> by using it, trusting it and expecting it  to lead you in EVERYTHING you do;</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000080;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Pray.</strong></span><span style="color: #000000;"> When you&#8217;re  done, pray some more. Create your life as one continuous prayer.</span><br />
</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #008000;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Learn  to meditate.</strong></span></span> If meditation is a challenge for you, join a  class or meditation center, hang out with people who meditate and,  above all, practice, practice, practice. Meditation produces mind  control.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800080;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Release,  release, release, release.</strong></span></span> Release fear. Release pride  and arrogance. Release old hurts through forgiveness. Release guilt.  Release thinking you have the answers.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As you  continue to attune your human self to the <span style="color: #800080;"><strong>Highest Most Holy Self, </strong><span style="color: #000000;">the </span><strong>I  AM </strong></span>presence within, you are ascending your consciousness,  step by precious step.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Living  from this 4th Dimensional plane of existence creates a supernaturally   blessed and blissful life. Your 3rd dimensional experience then becomes  fun, easy, fulfilling, abundant and joyful.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Isn&#8217;t  that what you really want?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Share  your comments below about how you ascend your consciousness&#8230;</p>
<p><em><span style="color: #800080;"><strong>Live  in the Light!!!</strong></span></em></p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #800000;">To be GREAT, you MUST learn to stay FOCUSED and manage and eliminate distractions.</span></h3>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #000080;">∞</span></h2>
<p>In this post you&#8217;ll find <strong>10 ways to stay FOCUSED</strong>.</p>
<p>In part 2 of the series you&#8217;ll find <strong>10 tips to manage and eliminate distractions</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Become a master at using these strategies, as distractions are dangerous. A driver who&#8217;s distracted can kill. A heavy machine operator who becomes distracted can cause injury to self and others.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>And a reality creator who is distracted can cause unwanted mis-creations to come into manifestation.</em></strong></p>
<p>Distractions are dangerous. Do not underestimate their destructive power.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><span><span style="color: #000080;">∞</span></span></h2>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>10 Ways to Stay FOCUSED:</strong></span></h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #008000;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>1. Do ONE THING AT A TIME!!!</strong></span> This is huge. We&#8217;ve turned into notorious multi-taskers. Multi-tasking is as bad for your brain as drugs. Your brain DOESN&#8217;T LIKE MULTI-TASKING!!! And, you don&#8217;t get more accomplished, you just tend to do a lot of things<em> in mediocrity<br />
</em></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000080;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>2. Do your work in timed increments.</strong></span> I work in 90-minute increments. If I&#8217;m writing, I write for 90 minutes. Pick an increment of time that works for you, whether it&#8217;s 30 minutes, 60 minutes or 90 minutes. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800080;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">3. Take 15 minute breaks after each timed increment.</span></strong> After your increment of time is complete, take a 15 minute break. This creates a cycle of work/rest. Your mind works well with brief respites throughout the day. I work for 90 minutes, then I take a break for 15.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>4. Stretch or do yoga during your break.</strong></span> When you&#8217;re on break, move your body. Stretch. Go for a walk. Do a few yoga poses. Your body was made to move.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800000;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>5. Drink lots of water.</strong></span> Keep water with you always. Your brain is 80% water. When you have a headache, it&#8217;s likely you&#8217;re dehydrated. A wet brain works really well! A hydrated body works optimally and is more energetic. <em>Focus requires energy.</em><br />
</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #008000;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>6. Eat frequently and evenly.</strong></span> Keep your blood sugar levels even throughout the day, without spikes and slumps, by eating evenly and frequently. Eat fiber bars, fruit, nuts, seeds, dates, figs, dried plums according to how your body handles them. Avoid loading a ton of food at one sitting. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000080;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>7. BREATHE DEEPLY. </strong></span>Shallow breathing causes nervousness and scattered thinking. It&#8217;s hard to stay focused when your breathing is shallow and rapid. Slow down. Breathe deeper. Your mind will be clearer and more focused.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800080;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>8. Smile.</strong></span> Yes, smile. Smiling as go keeps you feeling good. Feeling good puts you on a higher vibration. When you feel good, you&#8217;re more productive and your work is higher quality.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>9. Move slower.</strong></span> There&#8217;s no rush. Even when other people are clamoring for you to do what they want you to do, don&#8217;t rush. Rushing doesn&#8217;t help you or them. Plan ahead and slow down.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800000;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>10. Sequester yourself.</strong></span> Close your door during your focused increments. Turn off the ringer on the phone. Be un-available. You can always return calls on your breaks.</span></p>
<p>There&#8217;s enormous power in staying <strong>FOCUSED</strong>. How do you stay focused? Give us your comments below&#8230;</p>
<p><em><strong><span style="color: #800080;">Love your life,</span></strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong><span style="color: #800080;">VAL</span></strong></em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just<a href="http://liveyourdestinytoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/nsa_0034.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2050" title="nsa_0034" src="http://liveyourdestinytoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/nsa_0034.jpg" alt="" width="351" height="525" /></a> returned yesterday from the family fun cruise with <strong>Circles of Light Ministries</strong>, where I made a startling discovery:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>AS BIG AS I THOUGHT I WAS LIVING, MY LIFE IS WAY TOO SMALL.</strong></span></p>
<p>I&#8217;m feeling like the frog who lived at the bottom of the well, rather comfy, thinking it was nice to look up and see a circle of blue during the day and darker blue at night.</p>
<p>Then one day the frog jumped out of the well, and well, let&#8217;s just say, she had a <span style="color: #800000;"><strong>MIND-EXPANDING, DNA CHANGING</strong></span> kind of experience.</p>
<p>A whole new world was open to her.</p>
<p>Not because a whole new world suddenly came into existence.</p>
<p><strong>Oh no, it was there all the time.</strong></p>
<p>Now the frog is simply much more aware of the delicious and infinite possibilities that are open to her.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know quite what words to use to describe my jumping out of the well experience&#8230; but I&#8217;ll do my best to share with you what has been absolutely <span style="color: #800000;"><strong>MIND-EXPANDING</strong></span> and <strong><span style="color: #800000;">DNA Changing<span style="color: #000000;"> </span></span></strong><span style="color: #800000;"><span style="color: #000000;">for me.</span></span><span style="color: #800000;"><span style="color: #000000;"> </span></span></p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #008000;">A mind, once expanded, can never return to its original size.</span></strong></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #008000;">Thank God for that.</span></strong></h3>
<p>Frogs don&#8217;t jump back into wells.</p>
<p>Life doesn&#8217;t work backwards. Life is about forward movement. Life is ever expanding.</p>
<p>Once your mind is expanded, and you re-member your Self, you&#8217;re permanently changed.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>You could never live comfortably at the bottom of the well again.</strong></span></h3>
<p>As a matter of fact, whenever you pass a well, you might just be inexplicably and suddenly compelled to stand at the top of it and yell to any frogs you think might be living down there to <strong>COME OUT, AT ONCE</strong>!!!</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>MIND-EXPANDING experiences remind us of the truth, especially in places where we happily and comfortably thought otherwise.</strong></span></h3>
<p style="text-align: left;">When our minds are expanded, we re-member Truth. No one can teach you Truth, you already know it. You were born knowing it. The best anyone can hope to do is to re-mind you of the Truth, which you really do want to re-member.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Here&#8217;s the Truth I now re-member, more fully and deeply than ever before:</p>
<h1 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #008000;">∞</span></h1>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #000080;">My true family is the 7 billion or so inhabitants who currently share the Earth Mother with me.</span></strong></h3>
<h1 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #008000;">∞</span></h1>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>I am here to BE LOVE AND LIGHT EVERYWHERE I GO, ALL THE TIME.</strong></span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>YOU&#8217;RE HERE FOR THE VERY SAME PURPOSE.</strong></span></h3>
<h1 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #008000;">∞</span></h1>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #000080;">There is never, ever anything to fear.</span></strong></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #000080;">Never.</span></strong></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #000080;">Ever.</span></strong></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #000080;">There is never, ever anything to fear.</span></strong></h3>
<h1 style="text-align: center;"><span><span style="color: #008000;">∞</span></span></h1>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #800080;">Everything I see begins and ends with me. Whatever I&#8217;m looking at, sensing, feeling, experiencing, is me, and accurately reflects the contents of my own consciousness.</span></strong></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #800080;"><strong>By this we live and learn.</strong><br />
</span></h3>
<h1 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #008000;">∞</span></h1>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>My presence, when infused with Love and Light, has the Divine capacity and ability to forever change any space I enter.</strong></span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>So does yours.<br />
</strong></span></h3>
<h1 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #008000;">∞</span></h1>
<p>I now re-member, on really deep levels, that I can talk about Law and principle all I want, and experience no change.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">IT&#8217;S ONLY WHEN I DECIDE TO GET UP AND DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT WILL I ACHIEVE DIFFERENT RESULTS.</span></strong></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">Which means I&#8217;m called to be a living, breathing DEMONSTRATION of God at all times.</span></strong></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">And so are you.<br />
</span></strong></h3>
<p>Nothing else will do.</p>
<p>&#8216;Just trying&#8217; ain&#8217;t good enough.</p>
<p>I must either do, or not do. You must either do, or not do.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s no &#8216;trying&#8217; in it.</p>
<h1 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #008000;">∞</span></h1>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #000080;">I now re-member what God REALLY, REALLY, REALLY wants for you and I:</span></strong></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #000080;">A life that is filled to overflowing with</span></strong></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #800080;"><strong><span>SUBLIME AND UNCONDITIONAL LOVE</span></strong></span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #800080;"><strong><span>SPIRIT-FILLED &amp; HARMONIOUS RELATIONSHIPS</span></strong></span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #800080;"><strong><span>MEANING</span></strong></span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #800080;"><strong><span>BLISS</span></strong></span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #800080;"><strong><span>FUN </span></strong></span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #800080;"><strong><span>SHARING</span></strong></span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #800080;"><strong><span>CARING</span></strong></span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #800080;"><strong><span>GIVING CAUSE IT FEELS SOOOOOOO VERY GOOD</span></strong></span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #800080;"><strong><span>DREAM FULFILLMENT</span></strong></span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #000080;"><span style="color: #800080;"><strong>A HEART THAT BUBBLES OVER WITH MORE JOY THAN ANYONE CAN IMAGINE</strong></span><br />
</span></h3>
<h1 style="text-align: center;"><span><span style="color: #008000;">∞</span></span></h1>
<p>Yep, I&#8217;ve definitely got a new perspective on life. I told you it was a <span style="color: #800000;"><strong>MIND EXPANDING, DNA CHANGING</strong></span> kind of experience.</p>
<p>I have officially jumped out of the well, into a BIGGER life for myself, for the benefit of everyone around me.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>So consider this your personal invitation, straight from my heart to yours, to LIVE BIGGER:</strong></span></h3>
<h1 style="text-align: center;"><span><span style="color: #008000;"> </span></span></h1>
<h1 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>HEY YOU: JUMP OUT THE WELL!!!</strong></span></h1>
<h1 style="text-align: center;"><span><span><span style="color: #008000;">∞</span></span></span></h1>
<p><span style="color: #800080;"><em><strong>Rich blessings for BIG LIVING,</strong></em></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;"><em><strong>VAL</strong></em></span></p>

When does the cost of cheap become too expensive?
When an 8-year-old works in a factory in China for 12 hours a day, at 8 cents per hour, and goes home hungry just to fill an order for Walmart.

<p>When does the cost of cheap become too expensive?</p>
<p>When an 8-year-old works in a factory in China for 12 hours a day, at 8 cents per hour, and goes home hungry just to fill an order for Walmart.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s when.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s when the cost of cheap becomes way too expensive.</p>
<p>I have an 8-year-old. She&#8217;s fun. She&#8217;s all about laughing, playing her Disney tunes, writing in her journal (with the lock on it), making fun of her brothers, annoying her sister and doing all the other 8-year-old things that come to her mind.</p>
<p>None of the 8-year-old things she thinks of doing include spending 12 hours a day in a factory.</p>
<p>None of her 8-year-old activities include working for 8 cents an hour.</p>
<p>And none of her 8-year-old thoughts are on assembling toys that she&#8217;ll surely never play with.</p>
<p>None.</p>
<p>And for this I&#8217;m grateful.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m grateful to live in a place and a space where my 8-year-old is well taken care of and provided for in every way. I&#8217;m grateful that she&#8217;s living her kid life, doing kid things, in her own little kid world.</p>
<p>While I&#8217;m grateful for her God-given blessed life, I understand, realize and know that not every 8-year-old on the planet has the same kind of life.</p>
<p>This is where I come in. And this is where you can choose to come in too.</p>
<h1 style="text-align: center;">∞</h1>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">The responsibility each of us have is to shepherd and steward the planet, including all Her inhabitants.</span></strong></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>The question is: are we fulfilling our charge to care for the whole of life?</strong></span></h2>
<h1 style="text-align: center;">∞</h1>
<p>It&#8217;s not just about my daughter, and my family&#8217;s life.</p>
<p>The 8-year-old working in a factory on the other side of the planet is just as much my child as the one who lives with me.</p>
<p>So what am I doing about it?</p>
<p>I&#8217;m saying goodbye to Walmart.</p>
<p>Walmart&#8217;s business practices in China have come to my attention more than once. So I have a responsibility to do something about it. I may not picket, or fight. The way change happens is by me becoming the change I want to see in the world, as taught by Gandhi.</p>
<h1 style="text-align: center;">∞</h1>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">I can send love and light to that part of the world, and I can withdraw my energy from anything that keeps the Walmart machine running.</span></strong></h2>
<h1 style="text-align: center;">∞</h1>
<p>Especially the energy known as money. It&#8217;s a matter of stewardship. The money that I&#8217;ve been entrusted with is to be handled wisely, with understanding and respect. When it&#8217;s time to share the energy known as money, the onus is upon me to know that the influx of energy I&#8217;m sending to a particular place feeds the whole, and doesn&#8217;t deplete anyone or anything.</p>
<p>So it&#8217;s time to stand up. It&#8217;s time to steward my money better by sending this powerful energy into stores that align with and support universal good, and withdraw my energy from stores that don&#8217;t.</p>
<p>After all, would I want my 8-year-old playing with toys assembled by another 8-year-old who is not being accorded the honor and dignity of a child of God?</p>
<p>NO.</p>
<p>What kind of energy are we allowing into our homes, and onto our backs, and into our mouths, when we buy stuff, clothing and food at a store that would allow human indignity, and even encourage it, for the sake of low prices and high profits?</p>
<p>Not a store where I shop.</p>
<p>Goodbye Walmart.</p>
<p>The cost of cheap has gotten way too expensive.</p>
<p><em><span style="color: #800080;"><strong>Love the planet, love the children that you think don&#8217;t belong to you, and love yourself,</strong></span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="color: #800080;"><strong>VAL</strong></span></em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://liveyourdestinytoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/ccddfad50af7c63d88d1188b4853b134.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2158" title="ccddfad50af7c63d88d1188b4853b134" src="http://liveyourdestinytoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/ccddfad50af7c63d88d1188b4853b134-200x300.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="300" /></a>I love that swishing, sweeping sound that happens when I walk through a pile of fallen leaves.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s fall on the Eastern seaboard of the U.S. as I write this, and today I went swishing through the leaves in the park&#8230; the ones that had fallen from their high places and now were making a beautiful and colorful return to the Earth Mother.</p>
<p>Swish&#8230;</p>
<p>Swish&#8230;</p>
<p>Swish&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Ooooh what fun it was to swish through those leaves!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Then it came to me, in my walking through leaves meditation, that all the leaves lying on Earth Mother were some aspect of me and my life&#8217;s experiences.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Maybe you&#8217;ve had some of these experiences too&#8230;</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #800000;">One leaf had just taken her dive off the branch today. She still had a softness about her&#8230;</span><span style="color: #800000;"><span style="color: #800000;">.</span></span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://liveyourdestinytoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/d09def8c32ac7d5d248ac5041d3bbfb0.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2153 alignright" title="d09def8c32ac7d5d248ac5041d3bbfb0" src="http://liveyourdestinytoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/d09def8c32ac7d5d248ac5041d3bbfb0-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></h3>
<p>When we&#8217;re approaching something new, we&#8217;re green.</p>
<p>We haven&#8217;t aged and matured yet. Because experience hasn&#8217;t happened, we&#8217;re soft and maleable.</p>
<p>Feeling wet behind the ears can be uncomfortable, especially when the more experienced people around us seem to have it all figured out.</p>
<p>In those moments, do what my beautiful friend did: she landed right on top of the leaves that had already been there.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #008000;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span>Message from the leaf:</span></span></span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #993300;">Don&#8217;t get uncomfortable when you&#8217;re new at something and it seems everyone around you has it all figured out.</span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #993300;">Stay soft and malleable, be open to learning how to do it, and ask for support from the experienced folks.</span></h3>
<p><a href="http://liveyourdestinytoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/01f3be04835c4b25a5f8f208068c8b7d.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2155" title="01f3be04835c4b25a5f8f208068c8b7d" src="http://liveyourdestinytoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/01f3be04835c4b25a5f8f208068c8b7d-200x300.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="300" /></a></p>
<p><img src="file:///C:/DOCUME~1/VALERI~1/LOCALS~1/Temp/moz-screenshot.png" alt="" /></p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #800000;">Another leaf had holes of different sizes going all through it, like it had been eaten by worms and insects of all kinds.</span></h3>
<p>Sometimes we feel &#8216;eaten alive&#8217; by the people and circumstances of life. It&#8217;s one thing after another. In those periods of no peace, it feels like an endless procession of &#8216;getting-eaten-alive&#8217; experiences&#8230; one hole followed by another, and another.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #008000;">Message from the leaf:</span></span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #993300;">There&#8217;s hope. Remember: you&#8217;re never alone. Remember: the entire Universe is on your side. Life is for you. What looks like it&#8217;s eating you alive is only making you stronger. Trust that you&#8217;ll come out of it better than you went in.</span></h3>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://liveyourdestinytoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/862652f30b24135e72b23cecb44ba81f.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2164 aligncenter" title="862652f30b24135e72b23cecb44ba81f" src="http://liveyourdestinytoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/862652f30b24135e72b23cecb44ba81f-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="284" height="211" /></a></p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #800000;">Some leaves were brown, some were red, others were yellow. They had fallen from trees of all sorts. Yet they all lay together in perfect harmony.</span></h3>
<p><img src="file:///C:/DOCUME~1/VALERI~1/LOCALS~1/Temp/moz-screenshot-1.png" alt="" /></p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #008000;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span><span>Message from the leaf:</span></span></span></span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #993300;">Whatever color you are, you can live in peaceful harmony with all the leaves around you, of all colors, from all the trees.</span></h3>
<p>If you&#8217;re anywhere near fallen leaves, go out and get in some today. Run your feet through them. Kick them up as you go and watch them rustle. Get in them and roll around.</p>
<p>As you do, listen closely to what they&#8217;re whispering.</p>

<p><strong><span style="color: #800080;">Before I tell you about that experience, a little background is in order.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800080;">From the age of 4 until I was about 30, I was one of Jehovah&#8217;s Witnesses. </span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800080;">A main tenet I remember hearing was: &#8216;the heart is treacherous, who can know it?&#8217; A statement based on Jeremiah 17:9.</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong><span style="color: #800080;">I learned to think my way through life, rather than be guided by my heart. To go to the head, rather than listen to my intuitive knowing.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800080;">To think, think, think. And when I was done thinking, to think some more. Surely, with all this thinking, I could figure out this thing called life.</span></strong></p>
<h1 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #800000;">♥</span></h1>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #008000;"><strong><span>I can now say, after my Heart Opening Surgery, I&#8217;ve adopted a whole new way of being in the world.</span></strong></span></h3>
<h1 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #800000;">♥</span></h1>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800080;">Here&#8217;s what happened.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800080;">I made a visit to the Divine Hospital for a simple check up.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800080;">The Angel that checked me in and took my vitals said I needed further examination. She suspected a heart condition.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800080;"><em>A heart condition?</em> Considering my heart had always functioned perfectly, the news was shocking.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800080;">She called the Head Heart Surgeon, who conducted a Divine EKG and confirmed the Angel&#8217;s suspicions: I needed Heart Opening Surgery. STAT!</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800080;">What?!?!?</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800080;">&#8220;Is it serious Doc?&#8221; I was panicked. The question came out shaky.</span></strong></p>
<h1 style="text-align: center;"><span><span style="color: #800000;">♥</span></span></h1>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #008000;"><strong><span>&#8220;Only if you allow it to remain this way My Daughter. Your heart wants to expand, to be open. And here, in the Divine Hospital, we specialize in Heart Opening Surgery. RELAX. BREATHE. It will be easy. There&#8217;s grace here for you. We&#8217;ll have you back on your feet again in no time, healed, whole and perfect.</span></strong></span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #008000;"><strong><span>The Great Surgeon will perform your operation personally.&#8221;</span></strong></span></h3>
<h1 style="text-align: center;"><span><span style="color: #800000;">♥</span></span></h1>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800080;">I acquiesced. I figured surrender was probably the best option in the Divine Hospital. What kind of nut would come in here and argue with the findings?</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800080;">The Angels prepared me for the procedure.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800080;">Silence&#8230;</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800080;">Then more silence&#8230;</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800080;">Then sitting with God&#8230;</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800080;">Then more sitting with God&#8230;</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800080;">Then lying in God&#8217;s arms&#8230;</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800080;">More lying in God&#8217;s arms&#8230;</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;"><strong>Crying&#8230;</strong></span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800080;">Breathing&#8230;</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800080;">All the while, breathing.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800080;"><em>This hospital has an unusual way of preparing patients for surgery</em>, I thought.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800080;">I didn&#8217;t much mind my thoughts about the strangeness of it all. I felt immensely calm. Serene. Tranquil.</span></strong></p>
<h1 style="text-align: center;"><span><span><span style="color: #800000;">♥</span></span></span></h1>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #008000;"><strong><span>&#8220;No patient has ever been lost at this Hospital.&#8221; the Operating Room Angels assured me.</span></strong></span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #008000;">&#8220;We have a 100% live rate here.&#8221;</span></strong></h3>
<h1 style="text-align: center;"><span><span><span style="color: #800000;">♥</span></span></span></h1>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800080;">Then He came in. I couldn&#8217;t see anything&#8211;the Light was blinding. All the Angels in the room bowed. It was glorious. I heard a chorus of melodies as I drifted off to sleep.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800080;"><em>Must be the anesthesia they have here&#8230; smells like flowers</em>&#8230;</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800080;">The next thing I knew, I was awakening to the sound of choirs rejoicing over my Heart Opening Surgery, which had been a complete success.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800080;">Everyone talked about The Great Surgeon&#8211;about how skillful He was, about how many of these operations He had performed, and how every one of His patients was living fully, richly, from the heart center, with utter joy, wonder and amazement at life.</span></strong></p>
<h1 style="text-align: center;"><span><span style="color: #800000;">♥</span></span></h1>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #800080;"><span style="color: #008000;">All His patient&#8217;s lives had seemed to take a turn for the miraculous.</span></span></strong></h3>
<h1 style="text-align: center;"><span><span style="color: #800000;">♥</span></span></h1>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800080;">I never saw The Great One.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800080;">I felt His touch, that was for sure. My heart was still throbbing from it.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800080;">I looked down, curious about the site of the surgery. I don&#8217;t know why, but I expected to see a long cut in the middle of my chest, stitched closed.</span></strong></p>
<h1 style="text-align: center;"><span><span><span><span style="color: #800000;">♥</span></span></span></span></h1>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #008000;"><strong><span>Instead, there was an enormous white lotus flower floating in the center of my ribcage, brilliant and in full bloom.</span></strong></span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #008000;"><strong><span>My heart had blossomed into the most flagrant, beautiful flower I had ever seen or come near.</span></strong></span></h3>
<h1 style="text-align: center;"><span><span><span><span style="color: #800000;">♥</span></span></span></span></h1>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800080;"><em>What kind of Surgeon was this?</em></span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800080;">Angels whisked around my room, taking care of every possible detail of my healing. Some were singing. Some were praying. Some were writing. Some were gently stroking my body, while some simply seemed to be in awe of the whole thing. Maybe they were the spectators, just dropping by to look in on another one of The Great Surgeon&#8217;s successes.</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;"><strong>All of them seem delighted to be there.</strong></span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800080;"><em>What kind of Hospital is this?</em></span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800080;">I drifted off into the silence again.</span></strong></p>
<h1 style="text-align: center;"><span><span><span><span><span style="color: #800000;">♥</span></span></span></span></span></h1>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #008000;"><strong><span>When I awoke the next time, I felt full&#8230; full of joy, radiant with happiness, yet utterly peaceful and blissfully calm.</span></strong></span></h3>
<h1 style="text-align: center;"><span><span><span><span><span style="color: #800000;">♥</span></span></span></span></span></h1>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800080;">My Heart Opening Surgery had radically changed everything.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800080;">My eyesight was razor sharp. My body felt youthful and vibrant. Not an ache or pain anywhere.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800080;">My ears were tuned up; I could hear everything the Angels were communicating with crystal clarity.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800080;">I was lighter. <em>Did I lose weight?</em></span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800080;"><em>How long have I been here?</em></span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800080;">I arose with what felt like a rush.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800080;"><em>Was I being carried?</em></span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800080;">I walked out, though it felt more like floating.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800080;">My intuition was clear, I was perfectly attuned to it, knowing just what to do at every second. Instinctively knowing which way to walk, whom to talk to on the way out of the Divine Hospital, and what to do the moment I left.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800080;">I haven&#8217;t been the same since.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800080;">I highly recommend the Divine Hospital.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800080;">Check yourself in and ask for The Great Surgeon. They&#8217;ll know who you&#8217;re talking about.</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em><strong><span style="color: #800080;">Tell them Val sent you.</span></strong></em></p>
