GOD WILL ANSWER MY PRAYER!
From Oprah’s mission statement 
04-01-2008
"Without loving and caring for others, most of us stand little chance of
communing with God, no matter how many years we may spend in silent prayer."
Bo Lozoff
The average person may read this and think “Finally, I have found a way to make my dreams come true, all I have to do is help a few people and then GOD WILL ANSWER MY PRAYER” And then, when their dreams still don’t come true, the first thing they do is turn on God. Seriously, I know people just like this, they lament all the time about how much they do for others and then when they need something it’s not there. Hello…it says “loving and caring”, that is a continuous state of being. That does not mean when you took care of your neighbor’s dog while they went away…It means service for God. Doing for others should be a priority. Of course, you do for your family everyday, I know… we all do that, but that is a choice we make when we choose to have a family. Loving and caring for others is a lot broader than that, it is the essence of you. It becomes you, it is you, and it is just a thought in your mind that gets it going, that shifts your consciousness enough, to move in the direction of those IN NEED.
Loving and caring for others can come in many different ways, it can come by joining service with others to help others, it can come by giving a neighbor a break once a week when they need respite from the kids, the issues of their home life, or just because you love them. It should be innate in all of us, and it probably was, until our parents decided to interfere with nature, as did their parents. We are born without sin, with the essence of God himself, and we learned to shed that as the years went by, learning things the old way. It is time we teach our children the “new” way by setting an example. Set an example of loving and caring for others. Show our children that the true essence of God is in all of us and we should be standing up to the plate every chance we get.
If you want to see the true essence of God then you should visit this blog and join in service to help with this undertaking. Some of the most amazing Moms I have ever seen are part of this giant undertaking and they can use all the help they can get. They can use others blogging for Autism for the month of April, they can use new resources and people to spread the word. Whatever you have to offer, share it here or there, but share it, make a commitment to shift your consciousness for others and then sit and wait…. for the within to answer the call. Stop waiting for what God is going to reward you with, learn selflessness, learn humility and put them to work in the service of causes that need you. There is something for everyone to do in almost every experience we have. There are millions of people, some without homes, food, clothing, shelter and love…help them without expecting reward. You already have the reward, it is in your heart, be grateful for it every morning and every night, everyday.
Make a choice to watch it, read it or live it…but at least try it, and remember this:

EXIT HERE
I am on information overload today and enjoying every moment of it. I just got finished watching the third week of the Oprah Book Club with Eckhart Tolle and I am just brimming with AHA, and OMG…I have been saying that all of my life… moments
As I started to write this post, I looked back to the first page of the notebook I was writing in thinking it began with this class. Well, I realize, that in an attempt to understand why I already had a connection with the “NOW,” I grabbed my DVD of “The Secret” back from my friend Michele last night and took some notes from the movie. The notes I refer to are from one of the extras of the movie, where Bob Proctor is talking and he says, and this is not a direct quote, but if it is, here are the quotation marks, “Belief system is based on our evaluation. Re-evaluate your belief. You can only attract what you are
IN HARMONY WITH.
On page 78 of “A New Earth” Awaken to Your Life’s Purpose”, Eckhart Tolle says “Awareness is the power that is concealed within the present moment…That is why we call it Presence. The ultimate purpose of human existence, which is to say, your purpose is to bring that power into this world.” “Our purpose is to bring awareness to life. If you don’t have a good relationship with “Now,” you don’t have a good relationship with life, because “LIFE IS NOW.”
“You can only attract what you are in harmony with.” You must be in harmony with “PRESENCE.”
I have been saying since I began reading this book that these things are so déjà vu and now I know why. Again, the book to me, is an extension of “The Secret.” I suppose Oprah already knows that, which is why she is Oprah. But, for me, this is just wonderful. My mind which has been labeled as clinically depressed for most of my life, has never been depressed, it has just connected to the wrong “PRESENCE.”
I have had so many AHA moments from the first time I saw ”The Secret” on Oprah and now she has segued into this “awakening.” As I was taking notes through the replay of this class, I wrote this “We need to elect a president that “HAS BEEN AWAKENED”. to help this EVALUATION OF PEACE. We need to raise the percentages of people that are willing to challenge WAR. We should never again be subjected to war. There should never be circumstances which lead us there. More people need to awaken to this thought and begin to practice “Pro Peace”. In the class with Oprah and Eckhart they referred to the Vietnam War and the so called hippies that opposed the war and stood up for peace and fought against the war with demonstrations. The only thing I can see wrong with that entire issue is the number of people that had never experienced this “awakening” in their life. Those that never recognized the tiny little space between the ego and within. This is where we begin to evolve to a higher dimension, which is where we should have been 30 plus years ago.
There is too much material resounding this awareness for us to ignore any longer. Those that recognize this need to stand up and say…”War is never a solution, we never have to be right or wrong we just have to be kind.” I realize that that is simplistic, but the thought is there.
Accepting this moment as it is can connect us with the dimension of depth in ourselves.
This is how we learn to quiet the Ego (mind), by being more fully present NOW. The Now is the hidden exit of the “ego”, because the “ego” does not want you to know that the “Now” is the exit out. From somewhere this comes to mind from the seventies, like I would remember anything form then…”There is no Exit”. I believe it was a play. I just remember coming home one night from a movie and seeing it painted in red on the walkway to our house on campus. I realize this is my mind threading, but the thread leads me to “EXIT HERE.”

What You Think of Me is None of My Business!
I recently wrote about how I feel when my mind is open. I am like a sponge, and whatever is being said or done around me is being taken in. That is The Law of Attraction. When the people I love are dealing with their own personal life issues and they come to me for advice or help, I try to be there, always. But what should be seen is that not all of us, are ready to fight our demons, at the same time. All in good time, should be our mantra, one day at a time, it takes baby steps are the messages we should play in our mind. We only experience what we have first “thought”to experience. When situations in our life are not working for us, taking on someone else’s issues is not where we should be. We should be in our thoughts, moving at our own pace, changing what we need to change. Choosing how we want to live our lives, and who we want to be. Being led by anyone or anything short of God himself, may not be right for some of us.
We make our own decisions, yes, but when we take the time to quiet our mind and allow,we are being led by within. I believe that when we are trying to lead others, when we have not completely found ourselves, we lose sight of our own issues. Seeing our own issues through the eyes of others is one thing, but defining ourselves by the opinion or reaction of others is not the direction I want to go. How about You? I love the line from Eckhart Tolle“What you think of me is none of my business”. I prefer to find my answers within. The people around me are free to take from me whatever works for them, but my purpose is not to change who they are, it is to accept them from within. This is a judgment free zone here. Transitioning from “The Secret”to “A New Earth, Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose,“has been the perfect segue for me. I hope others will follow my lead to get there.
I am sorry to say, I do not know where I got this, but it is something that I have recently adopted:

MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR!
"do you think there is anywhere, in any language, / a word billowing enough /
for the pleasure / that fills you, / as the sun / reaches out, / as it warms you" --

The above quote struck me today, as the epitome of emotion. How much better can one feel, than what is expressed above?
I wish I could explain why it took me this many years to recognize the ability, we all have, to change our thoughts, to accomplish, or receive that which we desire.
“The Secret” hit the world with an explosion of new language that some are still trying to learn. The practice of “The Law of Attraction” must become habitual. It must be in everything you say and do, so that it comes back to you in the same way.
I find myself daily, reveling in the dreams that I am attracting into my life and the experience is so fulfilling. Twenty five or thirty minutes twice a day and my life transforms into the most majestic, abundant and glorious experience. It takes planning and direction to get your dreams to turn into reality, but never make light of the journey. The journey is the most magical part of the entire experience.
Never knowing that I had the ability to meditate, made me miss so much of my life. I never dreamt~~~ I could dream my life, into becoming the dream of my life.
Open yourself up to the new language, the new understanding, and the awakening of discoveries that have been hidden for years. Take a journey , a magical mystery ride through “The Secret”, and watch your dreams become the reality of your dreams.

THE WORLD WITHIN!
“In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.”
Albert Camus
Real Simple newsletter
When I first began to apply The Law of Attraction to my life, I was phobic and unable to live in the outside world. I was living within. Although living within is characterized as a disability, in relation to state of mind; I have found the most wonderful and clarifying state of being~~~within.
There is a world of people that walk the earth, never knowing the part of the mind I experience now. The creative function of our mind is where we should all live~~~ within. Quieting the mind and separating the messages, has given me the ability to attract into my life, an abundance of all that is desired. Losing fear, gave me the ability open my mind to the messages that most never get to hear. LOSE the fear, there is nothing in the mind that we should ever be afraid of, but most people never experience the quiet unwatched mind. It is truly an amazing place to explore and I Thank God, oh yes, and Oprah, for introducing me to the Law of Attraction through “The Secret.” I am in love with the journey I am on. I hope everyone will CHOOSE to explore it and remember this:
