The Agony of Debt – And How to See it Differently!

 September!  I’m back from a long and lovely week of perfect weather, fun, sun and surf!  My family and I spent a week in Ocean City, NJ at the end of August and it was just the perfect wrap-up of a wonderful summer. Morning Beach in OCNJ We rode our bikes on the boardwalk (Our […]

Feelin’ Kinda Loopy

  S  What do you think of when you hear the word “loop”?  To be honest, the first thing I think of is a loopty–loop roller coaster.  That, in turn, brings back the terror-filled, childhood memory (TAPTAPTAP) of Hershey Park and being trapped on the brand-new, cutting edge (at the time) Lightening Loops.  I was- […]

Mythbustin’

Mythbustin’ “I reject your reality and substitute my own!”  I always laughed when ‘mad scientist’ Adam of Mythbusters made that comment in the opening credits.  But recently his words echoed in my ears when I realized how poignant (have I ever used that word before?) they are.  Although I have a pretty open-minded circle of […]

I Think I Need a 12-Step

Belief is Everything!!!

BELIEF IS EVERYTHING!! And now a word from a short funny-looking dude: Belief is Everything! (click) Sometimes Hollywood can come up with some brilliant, thought-provoking scenes and this was one for me.  Belief is so important to our success and I think pretty much pre-determines whether or not we’ll achieve what we want.  But what […]

That Sinking Feeling

That Sinking Feeling….. I Knew It Well! Do you know what I’m talking about?  That sinking feeling you get as fear & worry creep in?  Or maybe it comes as a jolt that courses through your body– I’ve had that one too!  Not a lot of fun for sure. Mine came around money.  Fear of […]

An Abundant Definition of Money

“The sole purpose of money is to express appreciation.” I LOVE that definition– (wish I could claim it as my own but I borrowed it from Joe Vitale who borrowed it from someone else!) When you view money like this it makes paying bills, giving to your church or charity, paying your lawn-guy, investing in […]

Tapping for Abundance

Admittedly this is a VERY broad topic and tapping works best when we can be specific but I wanted to give you an idea of how you can tap to increase your own abundance.  Let’s take the obvious example of money.  Everyone can use more money, right?!  But the limiting beliefs we were taught as […]
