I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to participate in this 30 day adventure by making the effort to be aware of how you are feeling and consciously reaching for better feeling thoughts each day.
Congratulations on doing the most important thing in the world for yourself which is caring about how you feel! I hope you are feeling lighter on a bunch of different topics than you were 30 days ago and that your life is becoming more and more fun for you.
Life is supposed to be fun and creation is meant to be easy. If life seems like it’s too hard it’s only because you were trained away from knowing that your emotions are your internal guidance system. So now, all it takes to live life mostly in alignment is becoming more aware of your emotions and conscious of what they are telling you. Just remember… when you are feeling anything less than good, the thoughts you are thinking are not in alignment with the life you desire.
Any decisions you make or actions you take while you are feeling bad, will not bring you the outcome that you desire. So when you notice that you are feeling bad (worried, stressed, upset, jealous, angry, etc) the first and only thing you need to do, is find a way to feel better. Whatever works for you… whether it’s working your way up the emotional scale or distracting yourself with something that brings you joy, remember that nothing is more important than that you feel good.
I will be starting another 30 day adventure with a bit of a different focus in a few weeks so keep your eyes peeled for an email about how you can participate in that one and in the meantime… keep up the fantastic work.
You are so amazing! I am honored to know you and am soooo excited for the blissful life that awaits you!
With tons of love and appreciation for you,

Day 29... Do Your Dreams Feel Like the Next Logical Step?
How attainable do your dreams feel? Do they feel close? Like the next logical step? When a goal is so big that it feels impossible or unlikely it means you need to do some emotional work to align your thoughts and beliefs with what you want. When you’re feeling that way (like your dream is WAY bigger than where you currently are) you are not vibrating anywhere near the frequency of your desire.
It’s very similar to the “work” we’ve been doing during this 30 day adventure but our focus has been on feeling better about things that are bothering us while this aligning with your dreams “work” is about bringing yourself up to speed with how your dream life feels and expecting your dreams to come true… hmmm… maybe that is another 30 day adventure? Let me know if you’re interested in that one.
We need to believe our dreams are possible before they can manifest. That’s where I find the law of attraction so helpful… because if you really believe that you can be, do and have anything that you desire as soon as you become a vibrational match to it, you’re headed in the right direction. The other really great thing is, when you do the emotional work to get yourself feeling better and as Abraham says get into your vortex by feeling great, you can see the path to where you’re going more clearly. Maybe not all at once but you can feel the next inspired action to take when you are in alignment with who you really are.
When you are in alignment, everything makes sense. When you are in alignment, no matter what’s going on in your experience, you find it humorous, you feel balanced and appreciative of everything. When you’re not in alignment no matter how small the contrast is, it gets way more of your attention than it deserves. Nothing is more important than feeling good and being in alignment because that is where everything that you want is and the path to have it is clear to you from that view point.
You are the one in control of your life… not through action but through the power of your thoughts and feelings. All you have to do is continue to feel good. And when you notice you aren’t feeling good, stop and congratulate yourself on your awareness and do whatever it takes to feel better right away because action taken when you are out of the vortex will not bring you closer to what you want.
So keep up the great work… you are well along the way to everything that you desire.

Day 27... From Irritation to Love
This morning I had an interesting experience of expansion that because of this 30 day adventure I was able to turn around within about 20 minutes. Here's what happened and how I made myself feel better.
Okay so what is the situation that is bothering me? I am irritated that I let myself move from a feeling of excitement and inspiration about my business this morning to resistance, stubbornness and anger. I am irritated that my husband just took me out of the vortex by pushing his beliefs onto me and what I’m doing. I frustrated that he doesn’t mind his own business and let me flow with what I want to do. I'm irritated that I let that situation upset me so much. I’m irritated that he knows I have a lot to do and is pushing me to do more. I’m frustrated with myself about how slow the creation of my business is moving. I’m irritated with myself about not accomplishing more of what I want to do.
How do I want to feel on this topic? I want to appreciate my husband’s offer for help and see the value in his efforts to help me. I want to allow my abundance to flow in response to this contrast. I want to be in alignment again.
I hate it when people offer help or advice that I am not asking for. Hmmm… seems like a trend that is still happening which means I’m probably doing the exact same thing to others. I know Karl was just trying to help me. He cares for me and wants to help get me going towards all of things I’m excited about. It does irritate me though that he kept pushing the topic even when I gave in… he was being as stubborn as I was. Okay not helpful... he’s not inside my head so he doesn’t really know my expectations on this topic. He really does just want to help me.
He may have been thinking that I was planning to procrastinate on finding a web designer for months when I have the feeling that I’m going to attract one very soon who is the perfect person to help me with playfulliving.com. Someone who understands the law of attraction and wants to help create of one of the best interactive, online communities available that will assist thousands of people in creating the life of their dreams. Karl wants to be a part of that too and he believes that the sooner I throw something up the better… that actually does make sense to me.
I do want his help. I just had some resistance to his pushing and my old habit of being stubborn popped up. I’m glad I can recognize that so quickly now. I’m catching things more quickly all the time these days. I am excited about getting PlayfulLiving.com fully functional and attracting a brilliant, wonderful designer / programmer to help me make it phenomenal. I love that Karl understands my vision for this business and I love that he wants to help me. I love that he can help me get the site more functional than it is and that he is offering his services for free :)
Actually now that I’m feeling better I can see the value of our exchange more clearly and I feel appreciation for the expansion. Now I expect my business to pick up momentum and start coming into form more quickly. I am so excited to help thousands of people to find their own alignment and get clear on their dreams. I’m excited to continue to come into alignment more and more myself. Life is really good. Everything is happening perfectly. If I didn’t get frustrated about what I don’t want, I wouldn’t know what I do want as clearly as I do… and my dreams are becoming more clear all the time.
Thank you Karl… I’m excited to have my navigation bar fully functional so I can offer more tools to assist others. You are the best… I love you :)

Day 25 - Don't Worry... Be Happy
Here is some advice that I am offering a young lady who's not familiar with the law of attraction. I'm sharing it because I think it's a good reminder for us all :)
Day 23… Making Peace with Where I am
This morning I woke up feeling a little panicked for no good reason. I have missed a few meditations this past week with my schedule being thrown off having visitors and I can definitely feel the effects of it. I found myself thinking thoughts like I am behind with my work and I feel bloated and unhealthy and how am I going to accomplish all of my tasks with the kids here for the next month… etc etc etc.
I have heard it many many times lately that in order to allow more energy to flow through you, you need to make peace with where you are. Those thoughts that were swimming around in my mind this morning are some old stories that are not serving me… so I am going to ramble generally with the intention of soothing my angst and making peace with where I am.
I am where I am… and it’s not really a bad place. In fact, if I think logically, I am in a very good place. I have everything I need at my finger tips… I live in a beautiful home, I have a beautiful family who loves me, a wonderful husband, lots of really amazing friends. I have the option of working from home and living by my own schedule and am working on creating my dream business. I have access to all of the technology that I could ask for and understand how to use it mostly… I also have access to some of the smartest people around both philosophically and economically and I know that I don’t need anyone else to get the answer to any questions I have… I have access to infinite intelligence any time I want it… all I have to do is calm myself down, jump into the vortex and listen for the answer.
I’m feeling better already. There’s no reason to panic over anything… I have all the time there is to get everything I need done. I just need to tell a new story… so here it is around my schedule for the next month. I am spending the majority of my days in vibrational alignment with the things that I want… it’s getting easier and easier to feel good on purpose. I love having my niece and nephew here. They are the sweetest kids and I am learning a lot from spending time with them. They are so loving and ready to laugh and any given moment… they are quick witted and so appreciative of the time we spend together. They get along famously with one another for being brother and sister and they’ve found ways to occupy themselves each day. They’ve met some friends in the neighborhood and spend lots of time outdoors on their bikes, skateboards and hanging at the beach.
They are so helpful around the house and are happy with whatever activities we do together in the evening. Disneyland is our favorite destination and we got multiple day park hopper passes for a fantastic deal! I am loving my increased creativity showing up in my writing and work projects. My meditations are wonderful and I am completing everything I want so efficiently and am really enjoying the flow of it all. I’m finding money in unexpected places and from unexpected sources… enough to do all of the fun activities we want. Life is really really good and getting more playful all of the time.
Do you care to share your new story?

Day 21... Finding the Silver Lining
Lately I have been attracting people who (with well meaning intentions) offer their unsolicited advice rather forcefully.
Since moving away from my home city 3 years ago, I haven't experienced much of that. I’m not used to that approach anymore and it kind of catches me off guard when it happens.
So far, I haven’t dealt with it really well. I mean, I didn’t lose my cool or anything :) But I did take offense to it internally and let it bother me for a couple of days in each case.
It occurred to me last night that I can feel appreciation for these experiences for the expansion they helped me to have. The expansion came from my desire to handle myself better in those kinds of situations. Also to attract different behavior from the people around me so that they don't feel the need to offer their advice without me asking.
Once I had that realization, I felt much better. I don’t have to be offended by anyone doing anything and I don’t have to take anyone's advice. I could listen to their ideas and take what I like and leave what I don't... and genuinely thank them for their help.
I'm not sure why I used to get upset when people were pushy or overbearing. It may have been because I thought I had to take their advice... or that I was annoyed that they thought they knew better for me than I do. Whatever the reason was, it doesn't exist anymore. I can now be conscious of it as it occurs and just know that no matter what they suggest, I can just smile and say thank you and do as I please regardless of what they think.
Is there anyone in your life that causes you to take offense and feel bad? Have you found this vibrational cleanup helpful in changing the relationship?

Day 17... What Role Do You Play?
It is so interesting to me how we all approach situations and scenarios differently. What works for one of us... may not work for others. And we all give advice from our own opinions of how things should be. We all think we are right... that our way is the only way. Well that is partly true... we are all right in our own way :) It’s just that there is no one right way… everyone is entitled to their own beliefs and opinions about their life.
That is one of my favorite things about the law of attraction. No judgment of good or bad, right or wrong... just cause and effect. What makes things right or wrong is the judgment that we place on them. The way we approach situations causes us to attract vibrationally matching effects. No good... no bad... just things and scenarios that match the vibration of what we are offering.
So cool to know!
In my new environment with the kids, I find myself playing the role of referee between brother and sister. This morning it occurred to me that I don't need to do that. That’s an old pattern of the peacemaker in me that wants to make sure everyone is being treated fairly. That pattern was created a very long time ago and now I understand that everyone is treated fairly. That you are always treated in a way that is a vibrational equivalent to how you are feeling.
For example, if the role you are playing makes you feel like a victim then you will always attract people who will treat you like a victim. Or in my case, if the role I play is that of a peacemaker, I will continually attract situations in which there needs to be peace made. If the role you play is a problem solver, then you will continually attract problems to solve. Or if your role is one of an appreciator, then you will attract and find more things to appreciate.
So I can focus on what I want (a peaceful, fun environment) because focusing on the problem does not serve me, it just prolongs it and attracts more arguing to me. From now on, I plan on letting the kids sort out their sibling relationship on their own. Sounds kind of simple I know... but I don't think I've ever considered leaving judgment and fair play out of the dynamics.
Another layer being peeled away... I love it!
Remember… everyone is entitled to their own version of life... so my question to you is: are there any relationships in your life that could benefit from you removing your judgment from it?
