The Art of Allowing

A loud noise outside my window woke me up this morning with a jolt; it was well before dawn and rising from my dream,  a phrase was running through my mind: "The Art of Allowing." 

In my semi-conscious state, the term repeated itself over and over again, like gentle waves lapping on a beach. The Art of Allowing, The Art of Allowing, The Art of Allowing. I couldn't get myself back to sleep before the birds began chirping their exuberant chorus greeting the new day, so I got out of bed and did some thinking and writing. 

If you're not familiar, The Art of Allowing is a concept presented by Abraham Hicks and you can watch a short overview here or if you'd like an in-depth presentation (4+ hours!) you can watch this video. I am not going into detail about it here, since there's so much information available. 

We are at a critical juncture in the evolution of Humanity. On the one hand, we have a cabal of extremists who are doing everything they can to oppress and/or exterminate us. On the other hand, we have the most amazing sequence of discoveries, inventions, and successful peaceful protests in the history of mankind. There are two sides to the coin, and it is absolutely true that wherever you choose to put your energy, that will be the energy you receive back. So, for instance, you cannot be glued to your television watching conventional "news" and expect to be made aware of the magnificent achievements humanity is accomplishing right now. Likewise, you cannot engage in fear, hate or anger, and expect to receive love. It's either one or the other. 

What I try to do is guide people out of fear, into love. I empower, reveal, and lend a helping hand when needed. I am not a teacher so much as a guide. This morning's revelation peeled back yet another layer of my own personal understanding of how the universe works; and that is, that it's essential to replace the fight with dreams. It's time to stop waiting in expectation; instead, open up a space inside of you that allows your dream to come true.

This astral juncture that Earth is experiencing right now in July 2013 (the Grand Sextile) is about manifesting. It's about dreaming and creating your most amazing future. It's about unity, and love, and gratitude. It's about the power of love, our highest emotion, to bring about transformation within humanity and on the planet. So, if you can truly get yourself into a state of "allowing" then you will be amazed at the energy that flows into your life!

Allow yourself to be healthy.
Allow yourself to be joyful.
Allow yourself to be wellthy.
Allow yourself to be loved.

Employee vs. Entrepreneur

This time in the history of humanity is super-charged with electricity; change is happening so fast it's hard to take it all in. Information is flowing at the speed of light; ideas like a flooded river. With so much happening in the world, it's difficult to recognize the truly important issues. 

In this blogpost I'm going to concentrate on one issue that I see drastically affecting the future quality of life for most of humanity.

The one issue I've recently become aware of that has incredible significance to the future of many people around the world, is that corporations intend to start paying their employees with debit cards. That in itself might not be too bad, but what's happening is that these cards carry hefty fees, which drastically reduce the workers' salary. (See Article).

In the past few years, we've seen a concerted attack on workers' rights around the world, and the future of employees is less and less "inviting." In fact, it's sinking quickly into a wage-slave state. College loan interest rates have doubled, unemployment remains sky-high, job competition is scathing, and people young and old just don't know that there's an alternative to Employment.

My passion and purpose is to help people learn how to identify their own passion and skills, and teach them how to turn those skills into a resilient entrepreneurial income, and become life-long entrepreneurs. You are not a predestined employee; in fact, every human is a born entrepreneur! I'm here to help you get back in touch with that creative, resourceful and joyful part of yourself. It's much more simple than you may imagine, and the resulting lifestyle is the difference between surviving, and thriving.

You're invited to come and see if the Wellthy Entrepreneur Workshop is right for you. It's time now to define, and stand strongly, for what you believe in, so that you can shape and live the future of your dreams.

Sending many blessings of Love, Gratitude and Abundance,

A Different Kind of Independence

Today in the US we are celebrating Independence Day, one day each year when Americans predictably overindulge in patriotism, BBQ and beer. But today, I'm celebrating something a little different: Freedom of Spirit, and Independence of Mind, and Choice of Nourishment.

Food Freedom
Corporate agriculture in America has become an absolute cesspool. GMOs, pesticides, and factory farms that pump the animals full of antibiotics and unnatural food have created a culture of death. Agribusiness is one of the major users and polluters of our water supply, and the transport of its products uses a tremendous amount of fossil fuels. To make matters worse, it's now illegal to film inside a slaughterhouse, documenting the insane, inhumane processes that go on around the country. People who purchase corporate food are subjecting themselves to a slow, painful death. It's heartbreaking to watch families in the supermarket fill their baskets with processed food that will cause their children to suffer numerous diseases and ailments, maybe tomorrow, maybe next month, maybe next year.

Today, I'm going to celebrate my food freedom by indulging in fresh baby greens picked fresh from my garden an hour ago. I'll throw in some other veges that I bought at the farmers market, and make a big organic salad, and later in the day I'll cook up an olive/carmelized onion omelet using eggs from the chickens I have raised. Now that I've finished my coffee, I'm going to drink only water, fresh and unfiltered, that comes free-flowing from the pure aquifer just below the ground. That will be my food for the day.

I am infinitely grateful for the knowledge & resources to feed myself with this blessed food. 

Intellectual Freedom
America was founded on the separation of religion from politics, but in the past few years that minor aspect of our Constitution has been stomped on and shredded to bits by religious, political zealots. I believe that America only became great because of its diversity; industrialists be damned. It was the melting pot of ideas that made this country magnificent. Tesla, Einstein, MLK Jr, JFK, Maya Angelou, and too many other amazing minds to name.... however they arrived, the imaginations of America's visionaries are what lit the fire that powered the growth of the Dream.

Despite all, we still enjoy more intellectual freedom than most countries in the world, but it only exists for people who ask the right questions. Our schools are trying very hard to shut down curiosity in the minds of our children, and so it becomes our job as adults to keep creativity alive. Its our job to disconnect our kids from the electronic world, because the future of humanity lies in experimenting, feeling, making mistakes, and following the path of our passions. It's our job to keep them asking questions, and answering those questions or at least leading our beloveds to information that will keep them asking more questions.

I am grateful to be the mother of a beautiful, intelligent, warm-hearted son whose curiosity keeps me learning more and more about the world.

Spiritual Freedom
I have truly valued growing up with people of different beliefs, and learning about those beliefs. I've learned equally from Buddhists, Muslims, Hindus, Jews, Aetheists and Christians, and I find brilliance in every faith. I didn't understand, until I first visited a theocracy, what a gift it was to have this upbringing; the ability to ask questions, and disagree, and learn, and respect. In a theocracy, there is no experimentation, you are a follower and that's the end of the story. Theocracies, by their very nature, inhibit creativity.

At this point in time, spiritual freedom in America is being crushed ultra-conservatives from all faiths. The extremity of the belief that there is only one way to worship God will perhaps be the downfall of humanity. Nevertheless, I still have the freedom to learn more about my relationship with life itself, and this freedom to believe as I choose has helped me to grow more than anything else in my life.

I am grateful for my freedom to learn, and grow, and believe as I choose. 

I wish you all the freedom to follow your dreams and use your talents to make the world a better place for our children! Happy Independence Day to all.
