I'm excited that it's Monday (again)!  How has your week been?  Peter and I celebrated our 22nd wedding anniversary.  We went to a Japanese restaurant.  I ordered seared tuna, seaweed salad ... a little rice.  Fantastic.  And then somehow or another, because I have no memory of ordering it (wink, wink) a bowl of  Honey Wasabi Ice Cream made its way to the dinner table and into my mouth!  Huge YUM.  

More news!  I am participating in a Teleseminar Series called PROFOUND PATHS to Health, Healing and Happiness  Mark your calendar to listen in to my one hour segment, coming March 31. It's FREE!!!

Motivational Musings

FINANCIAL CRISIS:  5 MONEY RITUALS that Increase Cash Flow

In these financial tight times, Our Lady of Weight Loss requested that I share her 5 favorite money rituals with you. She feels confident that these rituals will not only keep the money flowing and returning to you, but will also 'lighten' the air and mood of the house! And, in effect, will help to keep the emotional eating in check! (OLofWL is always thinking!) Have FUN!!

BILLS FACE FORWARD: Always keep your bills facing toward you. As you hand your money to a clerk, the face on the bill should be looking at you as you say to yourself, "money knows me and comes home to me!"

CLEAR THE CLUTTER: Make sure that your money is NOT crumpled up or jammed into your purse and/or wallet AND clean the clutter out of said money holders! Handle money as if you value it!

GIVE GENEROUSLY. Money is simple a form of energy. And as all energy, it needs to flow through your life, not just into it all jammed into the corners. Money needs air, light and space to grow. Even though these are some financially tight times, it is important to give as generously as you can. If not money, then give your time and energy! Spread the love. Give with your heart!

ATTRACTIVE COVER. Put your checkbook in a pretty cover, preferably green, purple or red. And then store it in the wealth area of your desk (rear left corner).

GREEN AND PURPLE GRAPES. Fill a bowl with green and purple grapes (preferably real grapes; not artificial!), and place the bowl in the wealth area of your kitchen (left corner from point of entry). The grapes symbolize abundance filing your home. If you eat the grapes, be sure to refill the bowl, always keeping your bowl half full!

Spread the GREEN, RED or PURPLE word ...

Chewing the Fat
Dear OLofWL ~ My name is Annabelle I am helping my dad run his store while he goes on vacation. He has a souvenir store filled with chocolates, chips, cookies... you get the picture. I was doing just fine until THAT time of the month arrived, and I just couldn't stop eating chocolate and chips.  Afterward, I felt just horrible! I've been on a diet and lost 8 lbs, still have 10 to go (which I gained because of emotional eating).   Anyway, I seem to have more control now, but I don't want to eat those things again.  I was just wondering if you had some tips or pointer of how to deal with all that junk food standing there in front of me!

By the way I have read the book ALL IS FORGIVEN, MOVE ON, which I absolutely loved! Right now I am working on  telling myself that "I don't eat junk food, I don't thin junk thoughts."     

And finally, I want to share my morning prayer with you!  I hope you like it! 

My Lady of Weight Loss 
Thank you for this new day 
Sunshine just hit my window 
Means it's time to mingle 

I take a deep breath 
And ... stretch my body 
To strengthen my want-muscle
I shall not hustle 

Clean my thoughts and my heart 
So I can focus and get smart (-er) 
Guide me through obstacles 
With you, no need for oracles 

I am a shining star
Beautiful and confident 
Help me stay on track 
As others want me to crack 

It is a new day 
Time to smile away 
Kisses... :) 

Well I think that is all, have a great day! :) And thanks for all. ~ Annabelle B.

Dear Annabelle B. ~ First, thank you for that morning prayer!  Our Lady loves it and she is flattered! Your prayer hits on a number of important points covered in my book (All Is Forgiven, Move On).   Breathing ... Stretching ... Want Power Muscle ... and more; essentially how to stay motivated and live a healthy, 'happy weight' lifestyle.

Referencing your "I couldn't stop," whenever you hear yourself saying "I CAN'T" ... remember, it's not that you can't (of course, you can).  More accurately, it's more about your NOT knowing how to!  Ask yourself to come up with a strategy.  Otherwise, you may stay stuck in "I Can't." Remember that the unconscious mind does NOT 'hear' negatives. Therefore, when you continuously repeat to yourself, "I will NOT think about JUNK FOOD;" you can't help but TO THINK about JUNK FOOD.  Understand?  Think positive affirmations:  "I think about my happy future."  Stay away from food! 

Finally, I trust you are no longer working in your dad's store.  So, onward, and upward!  Let us know how you are doing! We're rootin' for you. ~ OLofWL
