HUMANITARIAN REQUEST!

Recently my daughter, a counselor, brought the following story to my attention. It became an opportunity for me to make a humanitarian gesture to not only support this family with my prayers but also a monetary gift. A story like this one is another wake up call for all of us to be thankful for all that we DO have—putting into practice the Laws of the Universe, knowing we have “plenty to share, with some to spare”! Afterall, what portion of $130,000 would we share with someone who is reaching out in time of need?

Since you may also be a personal friend of ours, you may get an email as well. If so, please just delete one--thanks for understanding!

Robyn says: “Hi all! This email comes as a shock to me and a reminder of how things can change in a hurry. As I am in the same position as Dr. Matthew Johnson in private practice, I can too clearly imagine some of what he is going through not being able to do what you love and what feeds the family! This is a man that I have met, have consulted w/ on the phone about starting my private practice as well as regarding clients and families. His book (check out the website, it is awesome! www.family-rules.com) is fantastic and I have been using it, giving it to clients, and referring families to his program for 2-3 years now. Since I know him, I have not called any of the phone #'s he lists to verify this story, but would not blame you if you wanted to. All I ask is that you search your hearts and do what is right and feasible for you. I feel moved to send what I can (maybe more than once). He is right w/ the statement too, that we cannot assume others are helping him out, especially w/ the economy and things tight as they are. Whatever small amount we can send WILL help out, and his work deserves to continue to help others all over the world and in turn help him in a time of need! THANK YOU, and again, do what feels right!
Robyn Yost, MA, LPC
P.S. And one last thing.....he very generously offers an autographed copy of his new book. I know the book is PHENOMENAL, and highly recommend it, but at the same time, if it doesn't apply to you or someone you know, maybe you would like to indicate that he keep your copy to sell? Up to you all.........!”

Dr. Johnson writes: I'm desperately begging for your help! Please help my family too!! Dear Family, Friends, and Professional Colleagues,
First things first: This is NOT a scam letter. I’m a married man, a psychologist, and I have four children. In January of 2009, I sustained
a SEVERE CLOSED HEAD BRAIN INJURY and I’ve been without work for the past six months. I know some of us Americans are all going through economic hard times at this point in our lives. However, out of major medical and financial desperation, I am writing you because I strongly believe that my present circumstances are more emotionally and physically overwhelming than you could ever imagine. As I have already shared with you, I have been without work for 6 months. I have depleted all assets, and at present, I do not qualify for unemployment benefits or social security disability. Please believe me. I’ve tried and tried. I have creditors calling me every day and my credit is shot. I swear to you, this is a true story. If you feel it necessary to verify whether or not this is a true story, please consider calling the following contact phone numbers: Dr. Matthew A. Johnson (Cell: 1-541-499-2816/Hm: 1-541-956-5942); My wife, Amanda Johnson (Cell: 1-541-499-2821/Hm: 1-541-956-5942); My elderly father, Arthur H. Johnson (Cell: 1-541-450-0980); My best friend, Dr. Marquis Nuby (1-940-536-9059); and my family physician, Dr. Robin Miller (1-541-842-9433).
Prior to sustaining my Severe Closed Head Brain Injury in January of 2009, I was a psychologist in private practice in beautiful
Grants Pass, Oregon (i.e., southern Oregon). I also wrote a parenting book, “Positive Parenting with a Plan (Grades K-12): FAMILY Rules. I spoke in 80 cities per year for eight straight years all over the USA, Canada, and in some parts of Europe too. Life was going very well. My parenting program was being used in public and private schools, university and seminary settings, state agencies, foster care agencies, juvenile court agencies, adoption care agencies, and even the Los Angeles Superior Family Court System was mandating their parents to use my parenting book as a part of their
divorce settlement. Group Homes, Residential Treatment Facilities, and Psychiatric Hospitals were using my “Positive Parenting” program too. This was the fastest growing parenting program in the
USA.
Then in January of 2009, while on a speaking tour in
Georgia, everything changed. I arrived at a hotel at 11:30pm at night. The entrance doors
were locked. I got the attention of the hotel clerk behind the counter. She pressed a button and waved for me to come inside the hotel. I opened the door and ducked to walk under the standard 6 foot 8 inch door jam. I stand 6 feet 10 inches with my shoes on. Well, unbeknownst to me, hidden behind the closed door (and without a warning sign) was a solid metal four inch magnetic box hanging down from the door jamb which lowered the clearance level down to 6 feet 4 inches high. WHAM!!!!! I caught the full impact of the tip of the pointy corner of the solid metal box onto the top left frontal lobe of my head and ended up in the EMERGENCY ROOM 15 minutes later.
Yes, I hit the floor and passed out. Everything was white and fuzzy. Afterwards, the hotel clerk said that my head hit the box so hard that it sounded as if my head should have come off my body when I hit it.
Well, I got my complete speech back three months later. However, I've been really struggling to get my short-term memory and my cognitive-processing abilities back ever since then. I'm also struggling with light sensitivity (i.e., I have to wear sunglasses about 90% of the time) and noise
sensitivity issues. I also have emotional regulation problems which means I'm in the running for "A-Hole" of the year. Finally, I've been experiencing non-stop pain since the day I hit my head in January of this year. On a scale of 1 to 10, without medication, I'm constantly experiencing a 7 or an 8. When I'm on pain medication, my pain level is as low as a 2 or a 3.

Ever since January of 2009, my pain levels have spiked up to 10's on several occasions. In the past six weeks, they have escalated to 10's on three occasions and I have ended up in the emergency rooms in order to break the pain cycles. Recently, I was in the Rogue Valley Medical Center in Medford, Oregon for eight straight days due to pain management. Imagine how much those medical bills are going to be for eight total days? Do you feel like crying yet? Because I cry every day. By the way, imagine experiencing your worst migraine headache and then multiplying that x100. Then put your brain in a vice-grip and squeeze it really hard, then pour acid on your brain and set it on fire. Finally, have someone plunge a butcher knife into your brain and wiggle it back and forth and then you'll begin to understand what my "spiked 10" headaches actually feel like.

The reason why I am writing you this letter of desperation is because I have been an unemployed psychologist for six months. I have not been able to see any private practice clients for six months because it would be unethical for me to do so (i.e., severe short-term memory and cognitive processing impairment issues along with emotional regulation problems). Also, I have been unable to speak in my usual 80 cities per year all over the USA, Canada, and Europe as I have been doing for the past eight years because my body just can't physically take it right now. Not only haven't I not been working for the past 6 months but I was just told by two doctors earlier this week that I most likely I won't be able to work for the next six to eighteen months either. This is truly heart breaking for someone like me who has always been a “go-getter-done” type of guy my whole life. The good news is that we finally have an excellent aftercare plan team established which involves a pain specialist, a psychiatrist, and a brain
specialists in Bend, OR and Seattle, WA who understand "Post-Concussive Syndrome."
I’ve pretty much already told you just how bad my finances are. I cry myself to sleep every night. Yes, I have an attorney to help litigate the case in
Georgia. No, there won't be any pay out for another four years and that's if they don't appeal. This could go on for six to ten years before the appeals processes have been exhausted. Yes, I've looked into financial assistance. No, we don't qualify because of my past income levels and bad credit caused by my current crisis. We are truly stuck between a rock and a hard place. That's why I've resorted to this humiliating process of
begging for money. Are you beginning to catch on as to how desperate I truly must be to have to write a letter like this to you?
In the mean time, my only means of making any kind of an income is by selling my self-published positive parenting books (English and Spanish)
and my seminar on DVD via my website. The nice thing about the six months of down time is that I've had plenty of time to revise my book, "Positive Parenting with a Plan (Grades K-12): FAMILY Rules". I've had several friends with healthy brains to help me catch all of my editing mistakes. My parenting book is being used all over the
USA, Canada, Europe, Africa, India, Central and South America, Australia, and Asia. The problem that I'm having is that you have to spend money in order to make money. In other words, I have to order books to create an inventory in the warehouse in order to sell them in bookstores or on line via my website (www.Family-Rules.com). My inventory is running dangerously low and I don't have the financial funds to replenish my inventory. I NEED MONEY!!!! No inventory = no books to sell = no money to pay bills or feed my kids.
This is where you come in. I am desperately asking and/or begging you for your help. Due to my Severe Closed Head Brain Injury, I have no income. Due to my Severe Closed Head Brain Injury, I have no potential of working for another six to eighteen months. Therefore, I'm asking and/or begging you to consider helping me and my family out. I'm asking and/or begging you to consider simply writing out a $25, $50, $75, $100, or a larger check out to (PLEASE mail the check to my self-publisher – NOT to me):

(In the Memo Section of your check, Please designate Dr. Matthew A. Johnson as the recipient of your very generous gift). In return, I will send you a FREE autographed copy of my revised book. This is NOT a tax deductable gift but I will give you a BIG hug! ....and that's a BIG HUG coming from someone whose 6'9" tall and 320 lbs.
Please understand that there is no way on God's green earth that I would ever be writing you a letter like this if I wasn't in an extremely
emotional, physical, and financial desperate situation. It humbles me to the point of tears to have to write this letter but I don't know what else to do in order to feed my children. What I am asking you do be mindful of is to NOT be that one person who thinks there’s going to be enough other
people doing your job that you don’t need to step up to the plate and be your brother’s keeper. If there’s a still small voice inside your mind
encouraging you to write that check, will you please listen to it and please help out my desperate family? PLEASE!!!!

If the situation was reversed, I promise you that I wouldn't even hesitate to send you a check because that's the kind of guy I am. I seriously need
your help right now. I wouldn't be asking if I didn't need your help. If you would like to forward this e-mail on to your family, friends, loved ones, church, synagogue, and/or other listservs or the media, I would appreciate anyone's and everyone's help that I can get. In the end, by helping me out by increasing my book inventory, you're ultimately helping to make my book available to parents so they can do a better job of parenting with their children which makes our world a better place to live in for all of us. I promise that I will send you a FREE autographed copy of my book.
Thank you for your time and careful consideration. If you need to talk with me about my request for your financial help, please feel free to call me

Ideas from “Money Is an Effect” by Kathianne Lewis, Science of Mind, February 2004.

Rev. Lewis gives credit to Ernest Holmes for the profound notion that money is a spiritual idea—an idea, nothing more!

She puts it this way: Money is an effect of our closely-held beliefs, not the cause of our experiences,” going on to explain that many people blame lack of money on not living the life they desire.

Isn’t that a great excuse for not traveling, going back to school, or having the home our hearts desire?

This thinking seems to go like this: “I’d love to__________, but I don’t have the money. If I get the money, then I can __________.”

This makes money the power in our lives, instead of the Power of Mind that operates through them!

SOLUTION: replace this thought pattern!! To do this we must remember that money is merely an effect. It shows up in quantities that support the ideas we hold in our minds.

For example, suppose I want the travel abroad once a year, but don’t have the needed $3,500 to $5,000 (or MORE these days…). Instead of praying for an amount of money, I imagine myself traveling to far-off destinations. It’s none of my business how I get there! The Universe works in wondrous ways and who knows, I might have the opportunity to travel without using a lot of my own money!! She says this happened to her over a decade ago. Declaring she was a world traveler, within a few weeks a friend asked her to accompany her to Russia for a nominal fee. And that was just the beginning. She’s taken a trip out of the country every year since, and often the money just “showed up when she needed it. Consciousness is always the Cause in our life experience, and money, like health and relationships, is only an effect.

I’ll bet if we look back in our lives we’ll see that when we wanted or needed something badly enough, the money ‘showed up’ for us as well.

So how do we APPLY THIS MONEY-MAKING PRINICIPLE??? We use the creative attribute of Mind to image what we really want. It’s probably not REALLY money, but what money can buy. And most likely, it’s not even what money can buy, but the experience we think we’ll get from what the money can buy. This desired experience is also just an idea.

All we have to do is hold, nurture, and develop that idea, and money—and everything else needed--will follow.

Suggested AFFIRMATIONS

Creative Mind, NOT money, is my source!

I hold, nurture and develop my REAL desires.

I trust that everything needed is mine now.

Ideas from CLEARING OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH MONEY by Patricia Diane Cota-Robles
A VITAL FACTOR IN RECEIVING GOD'S ABUNDANCE
The
ebb and flow of Life is a critical factor in order for us to receive God’s flow of limitless abundance. There are many expressions that describe the ebb and flow of our Lifeforce: inbreath and outbreath, radiation and magnetization, giving and receiving, cause and effect, action and reaction, involution and evolution. In order for the Divine Plan to be fulfilled and for us to receive a continual flow of God’s Infinite Abundance, the ebb and flow of our gift of Life must be balanced. If we are receiving more Lifeforce than we are sending out or vice versa, an imbalance is created that blocks the flow.
We can easily rebalance through our expressions
of love, reverence for all Life, gratitude, wisdom, abundance, peace, joy and happiness, which in turn blesses all Life on Earth.
Even though we are receiving and using all of the gifts of Life our Father-Mother God is providing for us, we often give nothing back in return. Are we fulfilling our part of the agreement by balancing the gifts of Life we are utilizing by adding to the Light of the world? If not, that self-centered behavior effectively blocks the flow of God’s abundance.
Once our supply is blocked, we fall into the dysfunctional pattern of struggling every day just to make enough money to pay for the things we need to sustain our physical bodies. Those are the same things that God has already given to us for free. When we expend our time, energy and money to pay for what God has already provided for us, it is like not giving anything back at all to balance our gift of Life. That imbalance traps us in a mode of stagnation. As a result, we can be cast into the paralyzing throes of poverty which only perpetuates our consciousness of lack and limitation—a vicious circle.
This is the reason for the financial situations that are affecting the global economy now. The
good news is that we created this problem, and we have the power to do something about it. We have the ability to renew our contracts with God and to reclaim our prosperity.
All we have to do to renew our contract with God is to begin doing what we agreed to do in the first place. That means that we need to balance the gift of Life we receive and benefit from every day by giving something back in return and expanding the borders of the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth. That may sound complicated, but it is actually very simple. Anything we do to improve the quality of Life on Earth expands the borders of Divinity and adds to the Light of the world. Whatever we do to bless all Life by sharing our love, reverence, adoration, gratitude, wisdom, abundance, peace, joy and happiness further enhances the creation of Heaven on Earth.
There are as
many ways to open up to the flow of God’s abundance as there are people on the planet devising ways to balance their gift of Life by sharing their love and appreciation—including money!

The following ideas are from an article Until Today! by Iyanla Vanzant

Imagine what would happen if for just one moment, with every fiber of our being, we allowed ourselves to believe that we can have life exactly as we choose to have it!

Imagine what would happen if we believed with our hair, our eyebrows and lashes, with our fingers and toes, that every good thing we ever wished would happen, could happen right now!

Let’s let our central nervous system and all the lobes of our brain be filled with the grandest vision of life we can imagine.

Let’s allow our feet, legs, arms and hands to think about all the good things we would choose for ourselves in this life.

Let’s allow the thought to move up our spine into the base of our necks until it spreads out across our shoulders.

At that point, let’s let the thought of having a life filled with joy, peace and abundance drop down into the pit of our stomachs.

Then let’s allow it to stream into our hearts.

If we could imagine our lives in this way, for just a moment, they would be experiences of unlimited possibilities.

Now let’s feel the thought of a peaceful life, a prosperous life, nourishing our bodies. All of its organs and systems.

Feel it getting hot.

Feel it rise up in us.

Feel it as it rushes through our entire being, growing in intensity, forcing us to throw our heads back and shout, Oh YEAH!!!

Think it!

Feel it!

Do it!

Just imagine what would happen!

Until today, we may have limited, edited or restricted our thoughts about the good things that could happen in our lives.

Just for today, let’s allow ourselves to be totally involved with just one good thought.

Let’s give ourselves permission to get our entire being involved.

Than LET’S WATCH TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS…! Let’s share what happens!!

Suggested Affirmations:

“Today I am totally involved with good thoughts about one good thing!”

I believe that I can have life exactly as I choose to have it!

I know every good thing I ever wished would happen, CAN happen right now!

LET’S SPEND ALL of our $127,000 and see what happens!

From CLEARING OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH MONEY by Patricia Diane Cota-Robles
A bit of ‘history’… Although including this here makes it longer than usual, it is for those of you who find delving into the cause of interest. Below you will find actual suggestions for change.

In the beginning we were given everything we needed to easily sustain our physical bodies during our Earthly sojourn--the radiance of the sun, fresh air, water, food and materials from which to build shelters and make clothing for ourselves. The Divine Intent was for our physical needs to be taken care of so that we could focus on using our gift of free will and our creative faculties of thought and feeling to learn to co create in the physical plane.
It was never the Divine Plan that we struggle from morning until night in mundane jobs just to put food on the table and supply the needs of our physical bodies. That, in fact, is a gross distortion of the original Divine Plan for this planet, and it is a cumbersome distraction from our purpose and reason for being in this school of learning.
Over time our fear based egos have manipulated us into believing that we are just our physical bodies and that the physical plane is all that exists.
With that distorted perception, we started believing in lack and limitation. We forgot that Life is limitless. We forgot about the infinite abundance of God, and we started fearing for our very survival. We became afraid that there was not going to be enough of the necessities of life in order for everyone to live in comfort and peace.
We began hoarding the things we needed to sustain our physical bodies which, in turn, blocked the flow of God’s infinite abundance. Because we are co creators with our Father-Mother God, this in turn created inclement weather conditions which resulted in floods, droughts, famines, plagues and pestilence. When that happened, we were catapulted into a vicious circle. The more we hoarded the things we needed to survive, the less the necessities of life were made available to us and the more afraid we became.
We developed a consciousness of greed and selfishness, which we believed was necessary in order to survive. We started fighting with each other over land, food, water and material things. Eventually we created a monetary system to barter for the very things God had freely given to each of us. As the confusion and chaos built in momentum, our human egos coerced us into believing that whatever we needed to do to survive was appropriate, even if it meant lying, stealing, cheating or killing.
As we witness the meltdown of the global economy, we can clearly see the evidence of this tragic situation everywhere we look. Practically every malady manifesting on Earth can be traced back to the fear-based consciousness of lack and limitation. That is true whether we are talking about the corruption, violence and moral depravity in governments, the military, financial institutions, corporations, the medical, insurance and pharmaceutical industries, religious organizations, educational institutions, some profit and nonprofit organizations or the private sector and individuals.
Our ego-based fear for survival infuses Humanity with a willingness to do whatever it takes to get what we want. For eons of time, people have continually acted out of the distorted perception of lack and limitation. As a result of that illusion, people everywhere are writhing in the pain and suffering our human egos perpetuated by entrapping us in poverty consciousness.

It is time for us to take back the power our human egos have usurped from us! Never has it been more important for us to do so.
The appearance of our global economy heading for total collapse is, in fact, the darkness before the dawn. The purging that is taking place in the economic world is a necessary part of the healing process.
Poverty is a human miscreation, and it was never intended to be part of our Divine Plan. The distorted patterns of lack and limitation are an illusion that we have been sustaining through our thoughts, words, feelings, actions and beliefs.
The Divine Truth is that
GOD IS OUR SUPPLY, not outer world circumstances. Our natural heritage is the continual God supply of all good things. When we remember this Truth, we open our hearts up once again to the limitless flow of God’s abundance.

RECLAIMING GOD'S ABUNDANCE
WHAT WE CAN DO…
In order for us to reclaim our natural Birthright of God’s Infinite Abundance, we need to clear our relationship with money. Since we have chosen to live in a system that uses money as our source of exchange, we need to eliminate our fear of it and realize that
money is just a source of energy—period. It is not some awesome entity that comes into our lives to wield its power over us and rule our destinies. It is only because of our fear for survival that we have allowed money to have that kind of control over us.
FIRST, we must eliminate poverty consciousness and start functioning with prosperity consciousness. Instead of worrying all of the time about not having enough money, we need to focus on our gratitude for the money we do have. Gratitude is a magnet that brings more of what we are grateful for into our lives.
Every time we spend a penny of our money, whether it is to buy groceries, pay our bills, for entertainment or whatever, we should
bless it with gratitude for the service it is providing to us. Then we should let it go freely, knowing that money is just a source of energy and, like ALL energy, it will go out, expand and return to us for more service.
If we send our money forth grudgingly, bemoaning the high cost of living, fearing we won't have enough to cover our expenses, hating to spend it on the necessities of life, we will automatically block the flow of God’s abundance.
The process of developing prosperity consciousness does
not mean going out and charging unnecessary things and getting ourselves deeper in debt by spending money we don't have. It does mean, however, that we recognize money is providing a service to us that we should accept with gratitude and appreciation.
As we move forward at warp speed, it is crucial for us to remember that we are responsible for co creating our own prosperity. We must
perpetually ask ourselves, “Is what I AM thinking, saying, feeling or doing adding to my prosperity and prosperity consciousness, or am I blocking my prosperity with fear and poverty consciousness?”
If what we are expressing is reflecting poverty consciousness, then we must ask ourselves, “What do we need to
change in order to express prosperity consciousness and open up to God’s flow of abundance right now?” It is imperative that we hold tenaciously to our positive visions and energize them daily with our affirmations and the focus of our attention. We must be deliberate about our wealth. Through persistence, confidence and acceptance we will open our hearts to the God supply of all good things.

INCREASING OUR CASH FLOW
NEXT: At the present time we use money as our means of exchange, so in order for us to attain prosperity and to become financially free, we need to increase our flow of money. We can easily do that by applying the Universal Law of Attraction--like attracts like. What we send out in the form of energy expands and returns to us. Money is energy. In order for us to attract more money into our lives, we need to send out money.
Needless to say, we are all sending out tons of money to pay for our bodily needs. The problem is, God already provided those needs to us for free, so that money doesn't count as our balancing gift of appreciation for our Lifeforce. In order to increase our cash flow, we must
give money back to God, in appreciation for our gift of Life, to support things over and above what we spend to sustain our physical bodies.
The spiritual key to increasing our cash flow is for us to give a portion of our money away to people who will
use it to assist in cocreating Heaven on Earth. There are myriad ways we can accomplish this. We can give money to people, institutions, organizations, charities, spiritual groups, religious groups, corporations, human- or animal-rights groups, environmental groups, human endeavors associated with science, medicine, research, alternative fuels and energy sources, the arts, education, sustainable development, global peace, justice or to any other person, place, condition or thing that we know is working with reverence for ALL Life and a genuine desire to co create the wonders of Heaven on Earth.
The general consensus is that if we give as little as
ten percent of our income back to God in appreciation for our gift of Life, we will open up to such an influx of money that we won't be able to handle it all.
The
attitude and consciousness with which we give our money away is critical to our success. Our money must be freely given away with no strings attached. We cannot expect anything in return from the people or places we give it to other than for them to use the money for the highest good of all concerned and to improve the quality of Life on the planet.
Once we give our money away, it is important for us to
acknowledge and accept that, in compliance with Universal Laws, the money will expand and return to us through the God supply of all good things.
We need to consciously affirm the return of our money because we have forgotten that money is a form of energy which should have been going out and returning to us all along. We have just been blocking that natural process with our poverty consciousness.
Through the distorted perception of our human egos we have developed the expectation that money goes out but that it never comes back. By affirming our Divine Birthright and decreeing to accept God’s limitless flow of abundance, we
reprogram ourselves to expect prosperity. We can start by claiming a tenfold return of our gift, but in Truth, there is no limit to the return we can expect. When we state the following decree with deep feeling, we affirm our gift of love and appreciation and claim God’s flow of abundance on the return current.

AND: PROSPERITY DECREE

I AM giving __($100.00)__ back to God in love and appreciation for my gift of Life.

I AM gratefully receiving __($1000.00)__ from God’s infinite flow of abundance on the return current with the highest good of all concerned.
THEN:
Once we give our love and appreciation for our Life back to God in the energy of money and claim God’s tenfold return flow of abundance, it is important for us to consciously expect to receive an increase of money. We must not limit God by trying to figure out where the money will come from; we just need to be open and receptive to every single avenue of return.
BE AWARE: Every time we receive unexpected money or someone buys something for us or pays for something that we thought we were going to have to pay for ourselves, we should accept that is God’s abundance flowing back into our lives. If things we need are on sale or if our bills are less than we thought they were going to be, that is our gift of money coming back to us. If someone gives us an item that we thought we were going to have to purchase or we get a raise or a higher paying job, we are receiving God’s abundance. If someone finally pays an old debt that we thought was lost forever or we receive a bigger refund than we were expecting on our income tax return, we should acknowledge the money is part of our returning abundance.
FINALLY: As we participate in giving and receiving our money in love and appreciation for our gift of Life, God’s abundance becomes an ever-present state of Being and tangible presence in our lives. The more we fulfill our original agreement with God and balance our gift of Life by adding to the Light of the world through our thoughts, words, feelings, actions, and money the sooner we will be financially free.

IMAGINE!

Today I invite you to open up to the possibilities the following questions might offer. Maybe, just maybe these visions are meant to be!

WHAT IF…

we don’t really have to ‘work 40 hours a week for 40 years to retire on 40% of what we can’t live on’ anyway?

WHAT IF…

instead we could take a swim in the middle of the day that clears our heads enough to inspire us to create something unique?

WHAT IF…

Universal Law doesn’t intend that we spend our entire lives just ‘pounding out a meager living day after day, [just to pay the lousy bills]’?

WHAT IF…

there were hope so we could take down from the dusty shelf our wildest dreams?

WHAT IF...

we could make a real difference in the world helping others while we help ourselves [being all that we were meant to be]?

WHAT IF…

there were no more greed, anger, racial hatred or negative thinking?

WHAT IF…

it’s time to discard our ancient belief systems?

Let’s to spend some time imagining that this is all possible and even True. How would our lives change…?

I welcome all positive feedback at any time and with permission will share any & all inspiring thoughts here.

I allow the Universe to inspire me to be all that I can be.
