“The world is full of abundance and opportunity, but far too many people come to the fountain of life with a sieve instead of a tank car… a teaspoon instead of a steam shovel. They expect little and as a result they get little.” ~ Ben Sweetland

If you look at nature, you will realize that wealth and abundance are present all around us. And since we are all part of nature, wealth and abundance are also part of us. Wealth and abundance are our birthright, just as love and happiness are. By using these daily affirmations, you will reclaim your inner power, and your right for truth, love, happiness, wealth and abundance.

If our goal is to create a happy lifelong relationship, it is critical that we assess not only chemistry, but also character. This requires that we develop a model for how to assess character in a potential partner. I was given permission to create and post on my website a profile of an emotionally safe person based on the book “Safe People” by Cloud and Townsend. Many of my clients have used this targeted assessment as a tool to help them assess the character of potential partners. While this permission does not extend beyond posting it on my personal website, you can access it here, at no charge and with no strings whatsoever attached.

Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche once wrote that we see things as ‘versions’ of what they really are; our habits of mind gently obscuring the truth from harsher focus. We wish them to be that which suits our will. Whether that view is one kindness and appreciation; gratitude for the blessing of a moment shared. Or, encompassing the legacy of a lasting pain; years of stories shared upon the pages of sorrow and isolation. Either way, we can not experience as separate from our own sense of being. All of this life bears the influence of everything we are and dare hope to be. Do you see sadness? Look again – can you not see the faces of those who love you unconditionally?
