Trust yourself! It can pay off!!

A few weeks ago, it became crucial to make a decision about putting new tires on one of our cars. Now, this is a car we're intending to sell in the New Year so don't want to put a bunch of money into it.

I did the research and could not, for the life of me, make a decision! This is soooo not like me at all. Finally, it was threatening to snow up around our house and we took the car to the tire store - asked for a certain tire to be put on. We were told to return around noon and we could pick up our car.

We came back and the fellow who helped us said that he had been literally on his hands and knees looking for the tires that the computer said they had in stock. We agreed to leave the car overnight as they could get the tire we wanted from one of their other local stores.

That's all well and good so we show up the next day and get the bill. Well, it's $200 more than what we were quoted!! I pointed that out and the sales person and I realized that the tires that were put on our car were more expensive (50% more than what the original price of the tires we chose).

So, what does he do? :) What any good person who is in tune with the Law of Attraction does! He just marked down the tires and we drove away with waaaaaay better tires than I had originally picked out.

Yahoooo!

I didn't ask for this specifically - it just happened and that's the way the Law works! I had a desire for good tires but didn't want to invest a whole lot in something we weren't going to keep. As it turns out - the Universe provided great tires to me at the price I wanted to pay.

In virtually every situation where I can't make a decision easily - it means there is something else at work that I'm not aware of and I need to sit back and relax and just act when I'm inspired instead of trying to make 'it' work. What ends up happening is generally always better than I could have imagined.

Basking is Attracting.....

Today I'm going to just add in a quote from the Abraham-Hicks Daily Planning Calendar...

Basking is Attracting Well-Being

You can feel good about the flower you are looking at, or the ocean that you are looking across, or about the smile upon the face of the child...you can be focused upon something like that and be feeling utter Well-being. And in that moment of that basking, you are attracting the dollars that you want, you are attracting the abundance that you want, you are attracting the mate that you want--you are attracting whatever it is that you want. It is about vibrating and allowing, you see?

Abraham G 2/1/92

Karen's comment - so, in as many moments of your day that you can - find a moment to appreciate or enjoy something....anything....this act alone helps to put you either in, or closer to, vibrational harmony with what it is you really want.

Dogs and the Law of Attraction

Hey - do you have some great stories about Dogs and the Law of Attraction?

I have my two miniature pinscher puppies and they are a handful! However, if I keep affirming that I WILL keep getting incidents that lead me to say 'they're a handful!' Okay, I'm stopping that! hahaha

Truth is they are coming along and, in fact, have made great strides towards becoming great family members.

Any advice? Love to hear your pooch stories.

Attraction or Intuition?

I don't know about you but I've never really gotten a great answer about how intuition fits in with Law of Attraction.

So, I'm going to take a stab at it - I would love to hear your thoughts....

It's true we are always creating our circumstances, right!? But, what if you have a 'feeling' that something is going to happen - is intuition just you being aware of what you've already attracted OR are you tuning into something someone else has already attracted?

Here's a for instance - when Geoff and I (in the picture above) were off to Las Vegas and were planning our trip - I had figured out which flights we would like to take. For our return trip, we wanted to get home as soon in the day as possible on the quickest flight. There were two flights I tagged - one was early and short and the other was a little later and a bit longer. I had a 'feeling' from the start that the early flight was going to be delayed. I just knew it BUT I wasn't booking the flight so left it up to the Universe and powers that be. I always put it out there that the best thing will happen so, please Universe, put me on the right flight for me.

The early flight was booked and no matter who I let know about our travel plans - I had said the flight is supposed to be in by noon - I wasn't optomistic about it at all. I KNEW it would be delayed - knew it, knew it, KNEW IT!!!

Guess what!? I know, you're a smart cookie - it was delayed! Now, did I create that? Or, was I tuning into what was already created? I'm not the only one that was on that flight....was this the creation of the whole group or perhaps.....the energy of that particular flight. OR!! Was this Geoff's creation that I was tuning into because he won a whole crapload of money at the slots while we were delayed. (There is always a silver lining! :))

You know, to me, it seemed like it was already created and if I had really listened to my intuition we would have requested the other later flight and been home hours before the time we eventually got home. Geoff would have also been a little lighter in the pocket. Hmmmm, maybe it all turned out exactly the way it was supposed to turn out.

Anyways, I believe there are times that intuition is reflecting back to you something that is already created - you just then get to decide whether you want to create something different.

Love to hear your comments!

What's Your Opening Line?

Do you ever notice how many people tell you how they really feel when you ask? I'm talking about the people who tell you how lousy they feel, what ailment they have or what pains them.

What do you think they are attracting? You got it....more of the pain and suffering they are currently experiencing. Why do they do it? There's some pay-off whether it's the attention they're getting with the 'Oh, you poor thing' to the 'Is there anything I can do for you?' You gotta know there is something they're getting in exchange for their misery talk.

It can start so benignly too - 'Oh, I feel like I'm coming down with a cold' (when they really just feel the need to take a day off and are prepping others with the excuse). Sometimes one just wants to tell the truth and ask the world to feel sorry for them.

Okay, so do you see any of this in yourself? If so, get rid of that behaviour now! (Good Person, Bad Behaviour - hahaha - just borrowing from a dog training book title except trade Person for Dog) But really, catch yourself or others that you care about in the act of opening conversations with the 'woe is me' lines. You're on the track to get what you want, right? You want more of the good things in life, right? Good, lose this trait.

Also, do your friends and family a favour - if they start complaining to you - don't commiserate with them. If you do, you just add your energy to their negative spiral. I always just say - 'Oh, that's a drag' or something to that effect and I move on to the next subject. I NEVER put my focus and energy on commiserating - I either move on to the next subject or I look for solutions.

Remember, focus on the good thing and the good things will focus on you!

Cheers,

Karen.

FINDING AND KEEPING THE LOVE YOU TRULY DESERVE

(This is a reprint of a Valentine's Day Article from my tips letter - Law of Attraction Tips. I've taken some liberties and substituted 'Summer' for 'Valentine's Day'...)

Alright, it's just about the end of Summer and you are on either one side of the fence or the other. You are part of the haves or have nots. Most of us want to be on the 'haves' side and some of us are trying to keep our 'have' status. This article is for both of you creatures. :)

Listen, you deserve to find or keep the love you deserve - so, what are you doing about it? If you don't have the love in your life that you want - use the Law of Attraction to get it. Do you find you keep ending up with the same kind of schmucks and schmuckettes? Well, there is a reason for that - you're not using the Law of Attraction deliberately.

Do you spend time going over and over in your mind what went wrong with the last 'love of your life' and have you been focusing on what a strike to your self-esteem they were? Guess what!? You're well on your way to finding an exact behavioural match with different skin on the outside. Get out of that rut, now!

Start being deliberate about the Law of Attraction and start focusing on what you DO want. Start by creating a list of all the character traits you want in your partner. Reframe the negatives into a positive statement (remember what you focus on grows) - for example, if your last partner was demeaning to you in public ask for this - "My ideal partner for me treats me with love and respect at all times". Or, if you had a partner that cheated on you - write down on your list - "My ideal partner has eyes only for me" instead of "My ideal partner doesn't cheat". The universal energy only picks up and reflects back on the feeling of the words (cheat) and doesn't hear negatives (doesn't).

I used to think it would be great to have a very good looking male version of my best friend. Naw, it really wasn't weird! I was focusing on all the fun things my best friend and I would do together and thought it would be great to have a love who would want to do the same kinds of things plus be my love! It worked! It can work for you, too!

Now, for those of you who do have someone in your life. How do you keep them? How do you keep that fire going? I've seen relationship after relationship fall into some pretty predictable patterns where partners fall out of appreciation for each other and that might as well be the death-knell of the relationship. So many of us start to focus on the nit-picky things in life and get frustrated with our partner. You can find terrible things about the most wonderful person in the world if you look and you can find wonderful things about the worst.

It's all about what YOU choose to focus on. What you focus on - you get. If you focus on the other's faults - you literally cannot see the loving person you decided to be with. Your brain works to prove you right. If you have an opinion or are seeking something - your brain will help you find it. So the question is, do you want to see a wonderful, loving person across from you who is perfect in their non-perfection or an uncaring, stupid idiot who just isn't even close to perfect? What you look for - you'll find. If you're in a great relationship - keep focusing on what makes it great. If you're not in a great relationship - start changing your mind. Start looking for the positive aspects in that person.

Have a great last few weeks of the Summer! If your life isn't reflecting what you truly want - I've got great news for you! You can start changing it today and in no time it will be a reflection of what you want on-going. In my podcasts, I take you on a step by step process on how to use the Law of Attraction and I round it this information with practical, useful tidbits in my tips letter.

Make it an awesome day - pass this on to a friend who is attracting it!

Karen.

Attracted an Upgrade!

Hey everyone - as you know, Geoff and I were just in Las Vegas a couple of weeks ago and I have a few stories to tell about this trip in relation to the Law of Attraction.

You may have already downloaded my v-cast (or audio) whereI talked about what was occuring in relation to my expectations of gambling and the money I had to gamble with - if you haven't checked it out yet - go to the Itunes or Podomatic link and you'll be able to check it out there.

Other than that - here's another story....

We had booked a king room on a non-smoking floor with a late arrival. When we got there - all those types of rooms were gone so we chatted with the front desk person at our hotel (Treasure Island) for a bit - she actually was familiar with where we are from as she used to work with an airline company (Westjet) that flies out of Kelowna. This is unusual!

We could hear the other front desk attendants trying to make alternate arrangements for other guests and it wasn't sounding too promising....

Then our gal said, almost in a hushed tone, I've got a room for you on our Penthouse floor where we put our high-rollers. It's designated neither smoking or non-smoking as we let them do whatever they want :) Do we want the room? - she asked....

ABSOLUTELY!!!!

It was a great room! Here's a picture looking down on the lagoon and pirate ship where we could watch the Pirate show. I don't know about you but I've never watched fireworks from above and it's actually quite spectacular and a little freaky when these balls of fire come streaking through the sky at your window! It was too funny, Geoff and I both jumped back the first time!

So, how did the Law of Attraction factor in to this? Well, in a couple of ways I figure - I have been travelling a lot in the past few years and have stayed at many hotels and so my expectations (which is what all of Law of Attraction is about!) are high and am often upgraded without asking.

Before we booked a room, I also had really wanted a room where we would be able to see the Pirate Show and voila!! This is just a quick insight into my intentions - nevermind the good that Geoff was attracting too.

You see, if you expect good things - you're more likely to attract them into your life. If you expect lousy things to happen - guess what!?

Anyways, just wanted to share one of my stories with you - have at least one more to come this week!

Cheers!

Karen.
