SPECIAL EDITION - INspired Action Journal
Are You Practicing Preferring or Complaining?
The Holidays are here. We hope that you are enjoying all the “contrast and joy” (smile) that Holidays make available to us all. While I was digesting turkey and cranberry leftovers, I received a request from a long-time friend and client to do a soothing coaching call. The gist of the situation was this: Holidays bring up feelings of anxiety for this person. Then, they feel the sadness of lacking a mate. And although they are highly regarded in their work and life, my client says, “When the Holidays come, I feel like my mind and heart are whacked around in a blender. I want to finally take control of this.”
Naturally, the work is always to return to the self-empowerment of directing those thoughts, rather than allowing the old habits from childhood to take over. The golden nugget of this conversation turned out to be one worth sharing with everyone. We talked about the difference between making a preference and just plain complaining. Read on and sense if this rings any bells.
There is a very clear distinction between making a preference vs. choosing to complain.
A preference is made in a moment and feels like appreciation … then you move on to the new experience. A complaint goes on and on and feels irritating … then you stay stuck in that place.
If you are still unsure if you are now practicing a preference or complaint, ask yourself this: am I asking for someone or something to change so that I can feel better? That direct question will clear it all up.
And here is the path to relief: since the only thing that you have control over is you, always bring your inner dialogues back to you. Use a tool like lists of appreciation, or getting In the Vortex* to discover fresh perspectives. The power and clarity is in realizing that it is always “your stuff.” Leave everyone else out of it.
Of course, it is tempting to say, “But, everyone else is complaining about this person or that thing. Everyone else is doing it. So I figure that subject deserves my complaining, too. After all, there are many others complaining with me. And I don’t want to look foolish or inappropriate to my peers. And there is a kind of safety in numbers, right? I just feel more secure joining the biggest and loudest group. I feel more powerful when I am united with others in complaining about how wrong something is. It gives me a sense of meaning and purpose. And frankly, I just feel better complaining and getting this off my chest. So, why shouldn’t I say whatever I want to say, whenever I want to say it, to whoever I want to say it?”
And in that pointed conclusion, you are absolutely right. You are free to choose. However, if you keep complaining then you you’ll keep feeling irritated, or worse. Law of Attraction gives you more of what you focus upon.
So, so you want to be right or do you want to be happy? You choose.
Maybe this is just occurring to you for the first time.
Lucky you.
Now you are at choice.
Now what do you choose?
Preference and Appreciation means exploring possibility.
Complaint and Irritation means being stuck in a rut.
You get to choose.
They get to choose.
Everyone is free to choose.
Choose.
How to choose and stick with a new choice? Use the tools to get IN the Vortex.*

Dancing Your Way to the Stars
INspired Action Journal
A Law of Attraction Publication of Bliss Studios LLC
Are you Dancing with the Stars?
I am flying high watching the TV show “Dancing with the Stars.” Why? Because it is fun, stimulating, and passion-filled. And the bonus is: you witness every aspect of Law of Attraction and getting IN the Vortex throughout the TV episodes.
Take a peek for yourself. Here is the intention of the show: celebrities sign-up to dance their hearts out, most with little to no experience. Now that is what I call an adventure. You can feel the excitement growing week to week. Look at how these people move their bodies. Watch the love grow between the professional dancers and the celebrities. Enjoy the relationships expanding between the judges, the dance teams and the audiences. And appreciate the way these people sway, swing, lift, kick, cha-cha, tango, foxtrot, waltz and charm their ways into our hearts.
There is the adorable Kelly Osbourne. She allows us to witness and to be a part of her discovery. What a gift. With little dance experience, Kelly evolves into a wonderful, capable dancer. She allows her expansion, and allows her expansion over and over, despite her weekly doubts and fears. You simply have got to love that. You go Kelly!
Then there is Mya. She does it her way. Mya, the artist, explores her place in this dance experience. She wants to go where no dancer on the show has gone before. Sometimes Mya is right in the pocket and sometimes she’s not. But she demonstrates what we call IN the Vortex or out of the Vortex, for everyone to see. I appreciate her adventure: a steady defining and redefining of “the best I can be.”
And then there is Donny Osmond. He’s the comeback kid. For anyone who has traced his evolution from a kid singing “I’m a little bit rock n’ roll,” to now, well it is just magic stuff to behold. I love watching him, glow and grow each week. Even when he has a wardrobe malfunction or goes over the top, he uses the contrast to his advantage. I enjoy watching Donny “own it,” or as we say in Abraham vernacular, “take the expansion.”
There is so much more to this show than meets the eye. This show demonstrates the natural benefits of contrast and competition. And it is so compelling to watch everyone - the dancers, the musicians and performers, the audiences and the judges- “take the expansion.”
You may never find yourself dancing on this TV show. But your “moments” happen daily, just the same. Expect your moments; listen for your inner voice. And in the ease of that positive expectation, go for life with the gusto you were born with.
Seize every opportunity to dance your way to the stars!

INspired Action Journal - The Best is Yet to Come
The Best is Yet to Come!
There is a Chinese Proverb that goes: “May you live in interesting times.”
We certainly live in interesting, exaggerated times. There are issues like healthcare, education, poverty, national security. Just 10 minutes into any political talk show and you’ll hear: Who is to blame?
Government is an easy target: the candidates are often elected on a promise of change. But what happens when change is slow, or stalled? “Nothing changes, politics as usual,” is the common grumble. It helps to remember that with every complaint, there is a better version of government morphing in the future.
Right now, we all could use a break from the what-has-government-done-for-me-lately chatter. So here is one rampage for relief:
It is possible to look at our government, and say, some of it is working. Most of us live well. Maybe we ask too much of any government, looking to them to be a fixer of problems immemorial. Perhaps, it’s up to each of us to do the best in our lives. The Founding Fathers knew something about interesting times. They also knew the imperative of a dream, an ideal to look forward to. Suppose that dream is still alive and well. Maybe every time a business makes a sale, or a student graduates, or a senior citizen writes a memoir, maybe that is keeping the dream alive. We wanted freedom, expansion and happiness. And just maybe we are still on our way to becoming that dream. And aren’t we the lucky ones to dream our dreams. Perhaps, instead of waiting for a savior-leader to offer hope, we can be our own leader, discovering our inner well-spring of hope.
And maybe, just maybe, the best is yet to come, not just for our government but for each individual.

Ready...Now
INspired Action Journal
A Law of Attraction Publication of Bliss Studios LLC
Ready…Now
Have you noticed how eager the little ones are to dive into Life? They wake up before sunrise because there is stuff to do. Every box becomes a new toy, no even more than that, a new world to explore. Every computer game calls them in. From the tiny tots to the teens, we hear these declarations of self-empowerment: “I do. I can do it. I have the capability. I do.” They are so ready for the abundant life that is ever-present. They know they are invincible.
How ready are you to live what is yours? Do you wake up with the sun excited about the possibilities? Do new people make you smile with glee as you anticipate the new adventures in store for all? Does the new ipod or Droid or software program mean the thrill of new experience?
Where are you on the Ready…Now Scale? You may tell yourself: “But I am not a kid. I have responsibilities.” And what that loaded word responsibility really implies is: not enough. Not enough time, not enough money, not enough of me.
Cut the Trap: set yourself free. You know too much now that you have discovered the Law of Attraction. Life is perception. Life is belief.
Try an experiment. Find a cozy place. For 10 minutes a day, use that time to remember moments of excitement or satisfaction in your life. Pay attention to the feeling of ease and invincibility that begins to flow. Take that small action everyday for 30 days and you too will feel more Ready…Now.
You are Ready…Now. You are so Ready…Now.

INspired Action Journal - Stand Up and Yield
A Law of Attraction Publication of Bliss Studios LLC
Stand Up and Yield
Last week, I offered a story about how a LOA beginner lives in harmony with Law of Attraction. This week I offer a story about how a LOA intermediate lives in harmony with Law of Attraction. The LOA beginner learns to believe that “what I request, I receive.” A LOA intermediate user learns to do the work of releasing habitual thought-patterns and overcompensating actions, and allow the natural good. I refer to this as Stand Up and Yield.
This is one of the best stories I have on the subject:
“Thank you, thank you for arranging an appointment on such short notice. I just has to tell you this.”
My client gushed with excitement. As I felt that, I was especially interested.
“Something occurred to me” she continued. “You know how we have been talking about releasing the struggle and letting go? And remember last week I said ‘sometimes I don’t know I am struggling. I don’t differentiate what struggle looks like and feels like and sounds like on certain subjects. I don’t always realize that I am operating from an unnatural thought-pattern, because part of me thinks that is normal.’ Isn’t that funny?”
“Yes it is,” I agreed. “We all catch ourselves doing that, sometime.”
“Right. Well, this morning I woke up… let me back it up. I had dinner with a business friend I hadn’t seen for years and had a great time. And when I got home I wrote lots of appreciative thoughts. Then I went to bed. As I was waking up, I had all these happy feelings and musings rolling through my mind. And then, like an arrow, this thought zapped me. It felt awful and it sent me shooting out of my bed. That is when I realized, man, that thought is struggle. That is me struggling. It was a worry thought. It’s the same kind of thought I have said to myself over and over since I was a kid. The stuff I got from my parents. But this time, it was unbearable next to feeling that good. So I took my notebook and dropped right into a Focus Wheel. After about 6 of them, and 30 minutes, something shook loose.”
I heard her deliberately breathe and pause.
“Wow this is exciting.. good for you, “ I encouraged.
“Oh, there is more. I realized… that business is about creation. And worrying about my business is anti-creation. I have been using new technology and a never-ending stream of competitors as an excuse to worry about my business. As if by worrying I could improve things. I am beginning to trust that everything’s going my way and that Law of Attraction can resolve anything that bothers me better than I ever can.
I realized that I had one thought going through my head, one Flawed Premise as Abraham would say:
‘I can’t keep up with all of them.’
And then I realized that is not my business. It is not my work to keep up with them, whether it is technology or competitors or anything. My work is to keep up with Me. My business started from my heart, from my interest. That passion is the only thing to keep up with.
So I thought about the Natural Premise which is:
‘I can keep up with Me, or it is easy to keep up with Me.’
And then I felt this wave of relief. I felt like I did when I first started this business, all filled with fresh ideas, and excited to bolt out of bed each day. I felt a positive expectation, like I did when I was a kid. I felt…playful and refreshed. I kept repeating that phrase to myself all day.
I started to deliberately look at the marketplace and competitors as a kind of inspiration, a kind of play. Sure, I caught myself worrying, but I just let it go. If I was over-compensating with action for being off-center in my business, I stopped doing that. I said ‘All I need to do is relax and be breath. My next move will occur to me.” This is how my business started, things occurred to me. I felt so comfortable and secure because the only one I was paying attention to was me and Me.
I know we have been talking about this. I have heard you, SusanJoy. I listen to to those Abraham tapes. But it as if … it is real to me now. I get it! When I get IN the Vortex, I stay close to the reason I started this business. For the love of it. It’s not at all about keeping a scorecard. It really is how I feel good moment by moment. I just never knew that I was a prisoner of my own thoughts. I just had to stop all that. I couldn’t stand myself like that anymore. I feel this good, the business responds.”
And now, I am smiling because this is the reason I do what I do. That client in that moment of awareness. Now, it is time to offer a question: “I am so happy for you. Happy, happy. Now I have a question: do you know what you ‘did’ to let in in this awareness?”
“Yep, that is the best part. It’s all the stuff you’ve been offering, all those Abraham tools : lists of appreciation, Focus Wheels and Positive Aspects. I got tired of feeling bad, and started to get off my butt and do the work.”
And that is an example of intermediate Law of Attraction in action. It is doing the work and finding the abundance. You simply have to stand up and do the work. It is the discovery that you really are meant to thrive, if you just get out of the way. How do you get out of your way? That is for you to discover… that is your work.
Stand Up and Yield… the worry thoughts to hopeful thoughts.
Stand Up and Yield … the over-compensating actions to natural actions.
Stand Up and Yield … to the natural abundance that is your inheritance.
Stand Up and Yield.

And then I felt this wave of relief. I felt like I did when I first started this business, all filled with fresh ideas, and excited to bolt out of bed each day. I felt a positive expectation, like I did when I was a kid. I felt…playful and refreshed. I kept repeating that phrase to myself all day.
I started to deliberately look at the marketplace and competitors as a kind of inspiration, a kind of play. Sure, I caught myself worrying, but I just let it go. If I was over-compensating with action for being off-center in my business, I stopped doing that. I said ‘All I need to do is relax and be breath. My next move will occur to me.” This is how my business started, things occurred to me. I felt so comfortable and secure because the only one I was paying attention to was me and Me.
I know we have been talking about this. I have heard you, SusanJoy. I listen to to those Abraham tapes. But it as if … it is real to me now. I get it! When I get IN the Vortex, I stay close to the reason I started this business. For the love of it. It’s not at all about keeping a scorecard. It really is how I feel good moment by moment. I just never knew that I was a prisoner of my own thoughts. I just had to stop all that. I couldn’t stand myself like that anymore. I feel this good, the business responds.”
And now, I am smiling because this is the reason I do what I do. That client in that moment of awareness. Now, it is time to offer a question: “I am so happy for you. Happy, happy. Now I have a question: do you know what you ‘did’ to let in in this awareness?”
“Yep, that is the best part. It’s all the stuff you’ve been offering, all those Abraham tools : lists of appreciation, Focus Wheels and Positive Aspects. I got tired of feeling bad, and started to get off my butt and do the work.”
And that is an example of intermediate Law of Attraction in action. It is doing the work and finding the abundance. You simply have to stand up and do the work. It is the discovery that you really are meant to thrive, if you just get out of the way. How do you get out of your way? That is for you to discover… that is your work.
Stand Up and Yield… the worry thoughts to hopeful thoughts.
Stand Up and Yield … the over-compensating actions to natural actions.
Stand Up and Yield … to the natural abundance that is your inheritance.
Stand Up and Yield.

If You Believe It, It Will Come
INspired Action Journal
A Law of Attraction Publication of Bliss Studios LLC
If You Believe It, It Will Come
Let’s talk about the ABCs of LOA (Law of Attraction.) When you Appreciate It and then Believe It, It will Come.
When I was first introduced to the Law of Attraction (LOA) I was totally smitten. The idea of creating my life through appreciation and attraction was so intriguing. So I decided to try it out in my daily life. I would sit and appreciate the intricate beauty of orange Monarch butterflies and yellow Tiger butterflies. Or, I would admire happy little green grasshoppers bouncing in the breeze. Pretty soon these beauties followed me everywhere. (And still do.)
One fine day, I decided to take my favorite LOA game into a light-hearted round of miniature golf at the Jersey Shore. This time, I made up my mind to win the game. I decided, I intended. And then … I enjoyed the day. I appreciated the details of each hole. I laughed with my friends. I breathed the sweet, salty sea air. I enjoyed my every body movement. I played every mental memory I could of having fun and winning golf. I kept it soft and relaxed as I played from the wind mill to the water break. And in a soft-focused state, I inched closer to the prize. At one point, I felt myself “pushing.” I think it was then that an elegant lady bug landed on my score card. She was so charming and tiny. I admired her shiny, red wings with distinct black dots. I relaxed again, remembering all those butterflies and grasshoppers answering my call. And I thought…of course, things DO go my way.
I did win the miniature golf, which was a nice confirmation that I do choose the outcomes in my life. But it is the ladybug moment that I recall with a full-heart and a little tear my eye. That was when I realized that I had created a momentum, a communication line, a solid belief in LOA. That little lady bug was like Source saying, “Come this way…”
And the sweetness of this story continues. For when we returned to our B&B later that evening, the hostess met us at the door. And she said to me: “I don’t know why, but I feel like I should give you this.” It was a tiny wooden ladybug paper-clip.
To this day I see ladybugs, butterflies and grasshoppers as indicators of LOA and Source dancing though life with me. I trust completely in the steady and accurate response of LOA to my vibrational signals.
Now, it is my hope that you are inspired to choose light-hearted subjects to focus, amplify and attract in your life. It is my powerful intention that you, too, experience the brilliant moments of dancing with LOA.
And I look forward to the day that you write me and tell me of your experience of something as joyous as this last segment of the story:
For our most recent anniversary, John and I visited the place where we wed. It had been over ten years since I first heard of LOA, having danced many dances. However, what we saw that day took our breath away. Hundreds and hundreds of ladybugs filled the air, lighted on our bodies and covered the walls of the building, as if to say, “Happy Anniversary! We love sharing this dance of life with you.”
There we were, two happy people in a beautiful forest, next to a placid lake, dancing and soaring with LOA ladybugs.
If You Believe It, It Will Come. It will most definitely come!

Sink-In and Synch-Up
INspired Action Journal
A Law of Attraction Publication of Bliss Studios LLC
Sink-In and Synch-Up
Have you ever caught yourself with tense shoulders when you least expect it, or need it? There you are about to make a presentation to your client, or paying bills on the computer, or sitting at lunch with neighbors – and your shoulders are practically up to your ears. Can’t you just feel how off that is?
In contrast, have you ever watched how babies, cats and dogs just sink into their bodies? They enjoy movement. They stretch and explore. Little footsies find their way to eager mouths with utter abandon. And from this place of being so very in-synch, they shine unconditional love like a lighthouse. Our little friends teach us so much about sinking-in and synching-up with the flow of life.
And…isn’t it funny when it occurs to you that real control – whether it is about our bodies or our dreams- is actually letting go?
Letting go of control feels so good. Feel the relief as you relax your shoulders, letting them slide down while you breathe in. Sense the clarity that flows through your mind and heart as you take this inspired action. Feel the ease as you imitate the little ones and sink into a stretch with utter abandon. When you meditate, feel that moment of releasing your mind. Feel the clarity of letting loved ones freely live their lives as you focus on hoping for the best and keeping your self in joyful balance. Notice that when you look for the best outcome, people rise to meet your positive expectation. Listen for the soft inner voice and discover what makes your heart sing today.
It is such a fascinating and freeing thing to realize that life is good. There’s no need to guard against, coerce or struggle.
Allow yourself to sink-in the flow and you will synch-up with all of your hearts desires.

INspired Action Journal - Letting Loose
INspired Action Journal
A Law of Attraction Publication of Bliss Studios LLC
Letting Loose
Don’t you just adore autumn? Call me crazy, but I love the fall season for the two C’s: Cleaning and Colors. Come the cool weather, I am passionate about diving into my closets and pruning. I so enjoy picking up a pair of jeans and saying, and meaning “ah, we have had some good times.” And then, letting go and adding them to the subtraction pile. It is revealing as allow me to become aware of the stuff that just doesn’t suit me any more. And I just adore that satisfying feeling as I lovingly pack the stuff for donation. I say, “Oh, new people and new adventures await you, my old friends.” Of course, the other pay-off is the buoyant feeling of anticipation of “now what new clothes do I want?”
I bet you don’t think I am so crazy now.
And then there are the Colors. Every bush and tree is burning with red, gold, yellow and orange. It is heaven on earth to walk thorough the woods on a cool, dry autumn day.
Recently, I savored just such a heaven on earth day. My heart was bursting with appreciation as I walked a nearby forest. I saw colorful foliage. I caught a glimpse of graceful hawks soaring the skies. I watched a huge momma-spider nimbly haul an even larger egg-sac. I smiled at yellow mushrooms cleverly growing up the side of a tree. I contemplated life. I reveled in feeling good. I savored thoughts of letting loose and how well-being just flows right in.
Then I spied something truly magnificent: a mid-life fallen tree, with a huge root system. The root system was as big as an oversized table. Up close, the roots were beautiful and intricate. Many roots still clung tightly to large rocks and dirt. There it was: tall and fallen. I guess the woods simply didn’t suit the tree anymore. And I imagined new life springing up in the place where this tree once stood.
Looking at the scene, I couldn’t help but contemplate the Journey. Sometimes we let loose right away. Sometimes we cling to things far beyond the time that it suits us. Sometimes it takes a strong wind or heavy rains to bless us with freedom and new options.
Life is a process of learning what to keep and what to let loose of. And now, I’d have to say there is a third C to mention. And that is Choice. I like Choosing.
I Choose Letting Loose.

Don't Stress it, Finesse it!
INspired Action Journal
A Law of Attraction Publication of Bliss Studios LLC
Don’t Stress it, Finesse it!
How is it that some people barely utter an idea and it manifests, while others work and work with no end it sight, and no fun along the way?
Could it be that some know how to Finesse instead of Stress?
Last week, I guided a client through a Focus Wheel. A Focus Wheel is a process recommended by Abraham to get In the Vortex, the place where all creation takes place. In a Focus Wheel process we take a “problem,” flip to the “solution” and then gradually close the gap between the two. And in that process with the client, I am a kind of emotional rudder, gently nudging the client in the direction of closing the gap, or better-said, finding relief.
We started this written Focus Wheel with a typical problem: “My employment situation feels out of my control. I feel like others have a power over me, I feel like they hide things from me and have an unfair advantage.” Then we came up with the flip or solution statement: “I really enjoy knowing that I have the freedom to create my world.” That is the set-up: problem and solution.
Then we began the journey to close the gap between the two statements. We opened with a powerful statement: “I love knowing that I am a Vibrational Being. I so enjoy the power of being a focusing being. I am a signaler.”
My client brightened even more and exclaimed: “I am a beacon, a beacon signaler.” Cool.
Next, we moved naturally into In the Vortex statements. “I know what alignment feels like. And I really love being In the Vortex.” More smiles.
“It feels so good to be In the Vortex because I can feel who I really am: confident, easy, and clear-minded.” Moving faster now.
“From In the Vortex, my next steps just light up before me.”
And then, it got really interesting. “In the Vortex, I am using my focusing power with skill, not banging it out. I have discovered a kind of finesse. Finesse is a focus. And I know that Focus + Positive Expectation = Desired Outcomes. I have discovered that without my Positive Expectation, I end up banging it out.” Whoa!
“I see the Flawed Premise I have been harboring in this situation. I see that the only thing that matters is the signal, my signal, my beacon. My beacon cannot be hidden, or muffled or squashed unless I mess with my own beacon. The only thing that matters is that I send a clear beacon of my desire.” Now we were jumping up and down, with high fives!
“And now I get it. I am in very good hands. I will bask more. I will write more lists of appreciation. I will look for evidence of things going my way. I love my employment. I love these people I work with. I love what lies before me.” Finis!
And don’t you just KNOW that client is receiving evidence as we share this story, right now? You kind of expect that a manifestation is forth coming.
But the true finesse here is… they don’t care. They know it is done. They are enjoying the journey. That is the ultimate finesse.
Don’t Stress it…Finesse it!

A Message In a Bottle
INspired Action Journal - A Message In a Bottle
A Law of Attraction Publication of Bliss Studios LLC
Who hasn’t walked a beach and dreamed of discovering buried treasure or a message a bottle? Well, dear friends, that dream came true for me this week. While I was swimming in The Cove in La Jolla, California, a message in a bottle floated right into my hands.
It was the funniest thing. The bottle just bobbed in the tide, as if it was waiting for me to pick it up. And so, I did. I received a message in a bottle.
By the time I swam to shore, my husband and others gathered to lay their eyes on this spectacular little surprise. A couple from Illinois exclaimed, “Wow, that is cool” and others chimed in with heartfelt sentiments like, “I have always dreamed of that happening to me.” Little children danced in the sand and smiled in eager anticipation as we opened the well-sealed bottle.
Inside was a charming note that began with “Ahoy!” A man named Jacob M. of Phoenix, Arizona mailed the package on 8/2/08. So this hardy little bottle drifted from only-Jacob-knows-where for over a year. Naturally, we shared this happy tale with everyone we met on our trip from The Cabrillo Monument to the Carmel Valley hotel staff. Our trip to San Diego was truly a dream come true.
But there is so much more to appreciate here. For while this is a sweet story; one I’ll tell for a long time to come. And, while we are eager to contact our new friend and hear the details of the bottle’s beginning, there is so much more meaning to this story than the mere discovery of a message in a bottle.
I am passionate about the blue, blue ocean, animals and any opportunity to harmonize with them. The Cove at La Jolla is a treasured sanctuary for goldfish, pelicans, seals, sea lions and many others. I was snorkeling that morning, listening to the rhythm of my breath while being dazzled by the goldfish and bluefish only a few feet below. Then, I felt the soft and clear impulse to ditch my gear on land and swim free-style into the welcoming waters. It felt heavenly to watch majestic pelicans floating in the sky. A pelican even glided within a foot of my outstretched hands. Sheer Bliss!
With that full and blessed feeling beaming from every pore, I turned to the shore line to take-in the magnificent view. And there it was: a message in a bottle. It came right to me, as if to say: “hello, we have been looking for you, and there you are.”
So you see, my friends, the real message wasn’t the message IN the bottle at all. The real message was IN the moment. And the INspired Action Journal message of this true story is: “Do what you love, for the joy of doing it, and let things come to you.”

Feeling Your Way to the Sweet Spot
A Law of Attraction In Action Publication of Bliss Studios LLC
Feeling your way to the Sweet Spot
Recently, I attended an Abraham-Hicks Law of Attraction workshop on the West Coast. While visiting, a gregarious and lovely friend introduced me to a major league baseball player. Awesome! Regular readers of the INspired Action Journal know that I am a great appreciator of athletes. I enjoy practicing yoga, golf and swimming, and I am married to a Marathon runner. But, like many Americans, I adore major league baseball. Go Yankees!
So, what a treat it was for me to chat with this super nice, energetic guy. At one point, I confessed my trials and tribulations with hitting the softball. When I step up to the plate, swing at the ball and make contact, I feel an uncomfortable vibration up my arms, spine and through my body. In a cartoon version, I would look like Bugs Bunny or Wiley Coyote hitting a ball and his whole body reverberating from it. Zzziiinnnng!
Anyway, without missing a beat, my new friend, said “That’s because you haven’t hit the sweet spot.”
The Sweet Spot.
That makes sense. That’s the place where you have all the elements line up. The intention, the focus, the positive expectation, and the incremental accumulation of physical evidence … and there you are. You… savor the Sweet Spot in the moment.
Yes, of course! The Sweet Spot. I know that sound. I know that feeling: in the tennis swing, in lap swimming and in singing and performing. Yes, I know that Sweet Spot: in addressing the little white ball, in the writing of these Journals, in appreciating a wonderful friend, in choosing to feel SO in-love-with myself and with everybody on the Planet.
I LIKE it. How about you?
We all know how the Sweet Spot feels. We all know intuitively how to get there.
Sometimes, it just takes a new friend to clarify and inspire us, yet again.
Have fun today and feel your way to the Sweet Spot.

Feeling your way to the Sweet Spot
Recently, I attended an Abraham-Hicks Law of Attraction workshop on the West Coast. While visiting, a gregarious and lovely friend introduced me to a major league baseball player. Awesome! Regular readers of the INspired Action Journal know that I am a great appreciator of athletes. I enjoy practicing yoga, golf and swimming, and I am married to a Marathon runner. But, like many Americans, I adore major league baseball. Go Yankees!
So, what a treat it was for me to chat with this super nice, energetic guy. At one point, I confessed my trials and tribulations with hitting the softball. When I step up to the plate, swing at the ball and make contact, I feel an uncomfortable vibration up my arms, spine and through my body. In a cartoon version, I would look like Bugs Bunny or Wiley Coyote hitting a ball and his whole body reverberating from it. Zzziiinnnng!
Anyway, without missing a beat, my new friend, said “That’s because you haven’t hit the sweet spot.”
The Sweet Spot.

The Pregnant Pause
A Law of Attraction in Action Publication of Bliss Studios LLC
The Pregnant Pause
Sometimes the inspired action is no action at all, really.
Instead, it’s the pregnant pause,
the long yawn,
a short nap.
Sometimes the inspired action is looking at the blue sky
and its puffy clouds
for hours.
Sometimes the inspired action is playing with your pets,
vegging on the couch,
or lying on the floor in yoga position,
staring at the ceiling in the twilight,
just breathing.
Sometimes, non-action is the best action you can choose:
step aside while the Universe lines up all
the people,
places
and things.
And all that… while you sip your tea.
There is such pleasure and power in the pregnant pause.

Less is More
INspired Action Journal
A Law of Attraction In Action Publication of Bliss Studios LLC
Less is More
The beauty of living deliberately in harmony with the Law of Attraction is … Less is More.
No more trying a little harder to fix this, or make that work more perfect, or to starve off (or gain) those last 10 pounds.
No need to stretch yourself to visit every speed dating event, every business networking event, or every play date.
No effort to be all things to all people: your family, your spouse, your children, your boss, your neighbors, your friends, your community.
Instead, there is the still point, you and You. And in that harmony, you can feel your way to the inspired actions that are beneficial.
When you relax into the knowing that everything’s going your way, you discover the personal guidance available to you. It “occurs to you” to attend an event, a class or to buy a product. It just feels right. And the confirmation is something wonderful happens when you do: you experience an easy desired outcome.
That is inspired action. It is the action that occurs to you, the idea that tingles in your soul, the obvious next step that your soft, sweet Inner Voice alludes to.
Less is More… that is the essence of Law of Attraction in Action.

SPECIAL EDITION - Dare to Dream
Dare to Dream
Let your imagination take you to those places, splendid places.
Then, let it be. Allow it to become.
It is natural to be well. It is natural to expect to live anything you desire. It is natural for everyone to dream and then live it. It gives me goosebumps – In the Vortex thrills – just contemplating the endless possibilities.
Today, I felt those familiar thrills again as I watched videos of uber athlete Usain Bolt smashing his own record in the 200 mm sprint . Raising the bar on his own record-breaking 19:30 time from Beijing’s 2008 Olympics, the Jamaican shaved off a whopping 11 tenths yesterday to complete a 19:19 new world-record.
What does it feel like be that fast, to soar like that?
Who ever says “you can’t do THAT… because nobody else has. It is too hard.” apparently has never watched the joyous face of this man in motion, so naturally named Bolt.
You and I are made of the same stuff as all these athletes, artists, leaders, writers - all the Livers of satisfying dreams. We are all everyday heroes. It takes personal imagination, focus and child-like, yes, even starry-eyed belief to then know your dream.
Dare to dream. It is why you live this physical and spiritual life to begin with.
And before you know it, people like me will be writing journals like this, about you.

Healthy Competition
INspired Action Journal
A Law of Attraction in Action Digest
Competition, a diversity of interests and goals, is a natural, healthy component of a Law of Attraction based Universe.
“Healthy Competition” – is that even possible? Some laugh and say “that is an oxymoron if I have ever heard one.”
“Right Competition” – is there a “right” way to compete? Whether you are an artist, an entrepreneur or the parent of a teenage wrestler, you may wonder what the “right” way to go is. Do you study your competitor and play against their strategy? Or do you decide what your game is and play your game? These are juicy questions, really worth considering.
Let’s visit world-class Tennis Champions and see what we can discover about healthy competition. There is the great Roger Federer and wonderful Rafael Nadal. Federer’s four-year run atop pro tennis was built on a steady, precise, powerful approach. But, Nadal toppled the long-time champion by continuously changing up the game he presented to the champ. They continue to out-best one another from event to event.
This sounds like the best kind of competition: inspiring competition!
For Law of Attraction enthusiasts, you knew where I was going before I even got there. The purpose of competition is to inspire you to new ideas, fresh routes. The key is to learn from the experience and turn in the new direction giving undivided attention to that. If you find yourself too caught up in observing your competitor, and losing sight of your dream, you’ll slip. But no worries, just turn toward your dream, and the Stream carries you.
Competition, variety, diversity is natural in a Law of Attraction based Universe. Use it to your healthy advantage.

A Law of Attraction In Action Digest
Releasing flawed premises feels great.
Replacing them with Law of Attraction based premises is natural.
Don’t you just love that chicken-in-a-pot TV commercial where a mother and daughter make dinner from an old family recipe? The recipe says to cut off one full chicken leg before adding it to the pot. Luckily, the little girl asks “why?” Flashback to great grandma perplexed by a small pot and a big chicken: limited space. She manages to squeeze the chicken in by removing one full leg. And there begins the family recipe. Then each generation repeats the recipe despite ample space for a whole chicken in today’s pot. They are acting upon a false premise: “There isn’t enough space.” Until one curious child asks “why?”
We all harbor a few false premises as our habitual thoughts. False conclusions and limitations like: “I can’t do math. Lovers, you can’t live with them or without them. You can’t make a living as an artist. You can’t trust anyone. Growing old means diminishing,” on and on.
Relax! For you Law of Attraction enthusiasts, you know better. According to Law of Attraction, it is natural to have, be, do, and acquire anything you desire. Start from the flawed premise and discover the natural premise. Ask: “So, now what do I want?”
Teach yourself to believe. It means a decision and dedication, but it’s worth the stretch.
Your own “pot” is much bigger that you imagine.
Release the flawed premise and be free!

Law of Attraction in Action - Benevolent Selfishness
Selfishness
Our introduction to the word typically goes: “Hey greedy person, save some of that for someone else, there’s not enough.”But what about the concept of “benevolent selfishness,” that is selfishness as a gift to others? Sound like an oxymoron? Not at all.When you drink a glass of wine or see a play, you see it thorough your eyes. You taste hints of oak or grass, you feel ecstasy or sadness. But is your experience and yours alone. You see it through your “self” and that is selfishness.For Law of Attraction enthusiasts, keen on the definition and application of Abundance, you know that you can only live life thorough your own experience, or personal lens.A well-known example is Madonna, the music artist and mogul. Madonna epitomizes the best of selfishness: intensely creative, astonishingly successful and a cathartic cultural influence. We benefitted. However, by the late-90s, something was eating Madonna. Interviews revealed a guilt-ridden Madonna, regretting her “selfishness.” Her creativity suffered, with the exception of the “Ray of Light” CD. She retreated to London, it seemed. Recently, I was tickled to see my views shared with Emily Nussbaum in New York magazine August 3rd, 2009. “The selfless Madonna is less inspiring than the selfish one in so many ways” states Nussbaum. We can only hope that returning to NY revives the selfish Madonna.What does this mean to you? You came here to create, too. You knew abundance: that is our birth right. Go for it. Do not allow anyone to cow or coerce you.Let’s face it: the only one calling you selfish is the selfish one who wants you to “do it my way.”Set the life example for others. Benevolent selfishness inspires everyone to be who they really are. And that would be a very nice Planet indeed.

Law of Attraction In Action - R U Self-Sustaining?
So you have some dreams. Big lovely dreams that you can see in vivid detail.You practice those good-feeling thoughts.You clean-up the topics that you know can feel better.You bask in it is “already done.” And then, you are talking with friend and you do the unthinkable. You speak sarcastically about your own dreams. “With my luck…If I ever get a leg up…” As the words are coming out of your own mouth the Broader You says, “Uh, whatcha doing? Are you dissin’ yourSelf”Yep, it happens to the best of us. Why? Who knows? Maybe, it seems worth it to be funny in the moment. Maybe, we cave in because of a friend’s “get real” face. Maybe, we just get sloppy.To have a dream is a beautiful thing. Make your dream sustainable by practicing more positive thoughts, by positive scripting. It’s your dream and no one can breathe life, or death, into it faster.Cooperate with your own dreams and aspirations.R U Self-Sustaining?

Law of Attraction In Action - Let's Be Independent Together!
Independence
It is a deeply emotional word, with many possible definitions, and many more romanticized images. Take the example of Lone Wolf howling at the Moon.Recently, I volunteered for the children’s Somerset Hills Handicapped horse Riding Center (SHHRC.) We exhibited at the 4H Fair where I discovered a Wolf Education group. Their sweet she-wolf basked in the sun while we talked about the natural behavior of wolves. They are private and instinctive, more like cats than dogs. The next day, I "randomly" (!) clicked the TV remote to “Dances with Wolves,” a tale about discovering who you really are.These experiences stirred my awareness. Real Independence is listening to that inner guidance, what some may call gut or animal instinct. In terms of Law of Attraction, being Independent means responding to the Voice of inner guidance. You live and operate in the world, with packs of people, but resolve to prioritize Your Instinctive Voice above all.Whoever said being a wolf is a lonely life must have been blind. Wolves moved freely with the grace of instinct. They are loyal friends and enjoy great adventure in life.Hey, if that is the description of being a Lone Wolf, let me at it. Let’s Be Independent Together!

Law of Attraction in Action - Passion
Passion
Many want it, few feel it.Passion is your natural inheritance.Passion is a beautiful alchemy of belief and positive expectation resulting in sheer bliss. People want it because it looks like it feels good. They see a passionate performance from a rock band; a baseball player or a great speaker and they feel The Vortex. They feel how worthy, powerful and valuable they truly are in that moment. Passion is as contagious for the passionate creator as the lucky observer.I went to a Sting concert where a rapper-poet named Jill Scott opened the show. She exuded such passion, she stole our hearts. Jill was so in-love with herself, her Inner Being, her performance and her audience. It was a Love Fest. With that inspiration, I took my original songs into a professional recording studio and performed, co-produced and released my first pop-rock CD, “TurnAround.” Want Passion? Start with something you like and focus an appreciative eye on it, whether it is barbequing or playing with your kids. Let your heart fill with joy.Passion is yours already. It asks only a single-minded focus on your heart’s desire, with an attitude of positive expectation.

Law of Attraction In Action - Align then Act
Find your alignment on the subject, then take action.Define what you want, mentally. Use your imagination to touch, taste, smell, feel the desired outcome. Reach for the feeling place of having that, owning it, occupying it. When you catch a whiff of that sensation, you will be inspired to act. And it will be obvious.You use this formula for success more often that you realize. By 11:00 in the morning, your growling stomach is calling for delicious lunch options. Your imagination is triggered before you even set foot in the deli. By Wednesday or Friday, you are sorting though your possible weekend fun plans. Again this happens way before you slip into that beach wear. And every project, whether it is an invention, an empire or a lover, is first imagined in your noggin way before you take action.Imagine, align and follow inspired action.Alignment first, then take action.

Inspired Action Journal - Going a Little Hungry Works for You!
Have you ever noticed how good food tastes when you are hungry? The anticipation of sustenance stimulates on every level, mind-body-spirit. And the result is greater appreciation of the food.In contrast, eating beyond desire, being over-satisfied, feels, well… dull. Five star cuisines could be presented, and be experienced as ho-hum when there is little hunger. A little space, a little breather, goes a long, long way.For Law of Attraction enthusiasts, it pays to feel a little “hunger” or anticipation in all areas of life. When you feel sick, you decide to be well; when you see a beautiful home, you decide to purchase it; or seeing an amazing project or performance inspires you to dream bigger, too. What’s life without something new to desire?The beauty of life is that there is always some new possibility! And that time of “hunger” on the way to the having, makes the inevitable having oh-so-sweet!Going a Little Hungry Works for You!

Law of Attraction in Action – Knowing Abundance
“Abundance” is now a “cool word.” But “cool words” added to pepper a conversation offer no flavor when applied with little understanding. Abundance is a knowing. It is more than belief. You “know” that the sun rises and sets. Abundance is a knowing that whatever you ask for- health, dollars, relationships, career- it is given. “Lack” is a choice, too. Everyone chooses, subject by subject. “Is my attitude in this conversation Lack or Abundance?” It is a personal decision: only you know how you feel. (Hint: if you are complaining “it’s not fair, there’s not enough,” that is Lack.)Here’s an illustration: A wealthy couple enjoying lunch one day shared perspectives about their adult daughter’s hope to purchase a new vehicle. They could hand her the cash. However, they concluded:“It is going to be so much sweeter to watch her come into alignment with the dollars to purchase that car.” Soon after, she made the purchase with her own dollars.Seek to know Abundance, and you’ll reap the harvest.
