The next blog in April, our month of Foolishness and Forgiveness, is about doing the WRITE thing. That’s right…errr…write!

Doing the WRITE thing is about writing a letter. It’s a letter where you dig deep into your soul, get in touch with your feelings, and pour your heart out into a letter. There are two kinds of letters you can write, and I recommend you write at least one of each.

Hello, my name is Traci, and I’m a huge procrastinator. And if you’re reading this, later, because you know, you put off reading it…it’s because you’re a procrastinator too. I wish I could wave my magic wand and make all of the things I’m putting off doing would just go away, but they persist. And then they compile. And compile. And compile. And then the feeling of overwhelm hits me like a ton of bricks

We continue with our April blog theme of Fools and Forgiveness. Last week I wrote about forgiving yourself…and this week will be on forgiving others.

One of the hardest parts of my job is encouraging my clients to “forgive” the other person for the horrible things they caused in the lives of my clients. I’ve heard many awful, horrific, painful things that my clients have suffered through. They often opt not to tell me what those things are…but I can see the tears stream down their face as they begin to process or re-process the memories in order to let go of the crap memories that hold them back. One step on the road to healing within is to “forgive” the other person(s) for what they’ve done.

It is April…and my theme for this month is “Foolishness and Forgiveness.” This week’s topic is “Forgiving Yourself,” because if there’s a common theme I see in all of my clients, it’s the inability to forgive ourselves for past mistakes, those stupid and horrible things we did to others, those stupid and horrible things we did to ourselves. Sometimes our past mistakes include not standing up for ourselves when we needed to, or not standing up for someone else when we should have. Often times these incidents will re-occur and the feelings of guilt, shame, embarrassment, or anger will resurface, magnified and intensified, because they were never properly processed to begin with. People who haven’t fully processed their issues, often find themselves sick. The unprocessed feelings that go with these mistakes is energy, and that energy can become stuck in the body and wreak all kinds of havoc. Many of my clients have heard me read from Yvette Rose’s book, Metaphysical Anatomy. I learn about their symptoms, find the corresponding chapter, and we both discover they have unprocessed emotions which may have contributed to what they’re experiencing medically.

Last week I wrote about The Secrets of Sabotaging Your Success, which is basically “Where Focus Goes, Energy Flows.” What you think about, is what you become. If you focus on “bankruptcy” or “don’t lose a turn” like my husband did when he was on Wheel of Fortune 14 years ago…then that is exactly what you’ll receive. The trick is to change your self talk!

14 years before we were married, my husband Doug was a contestant on The Wheel Of Fortune. The episode aired March 3rd, 2009. He won $3900 for about 10 hours of work. We recently had some friends over and watched the show. Doug was telling us about the auditions, how he had to get clearance from work to be on the show, and how people who showed up in Christmas sweaters for the December taping, were requested to change as these shows wouldn’t air until March. As he was telling us about his experience, he said he had 2 fears of being on the show: “Losing A Turn,” and getting “Bankrupt.” He did both.

Welcome to the first blog of the month of March - and this month we’ll be focusing on Manifesting!

Does manifesting really work? YES! We manifest all the time, because what we think about is what we attract and what we attract is what we become. When we think about great things happening to us, great things happen. When we think about bad things happening to us, bad things happen.

I spent last week in Las Vegas attending an Attraction Mastery class. It was a fabulous class! I learned a lot. One of the things that sparked my interest, was the 2 of the attendees were taking the class because they were looking to “upgrade.” That means they are no longer interested in their current spouse/partner, and looking to get themselves something new.

While researching this topic, I googled “Stages of Love.” I found some interesting articles and diagrams detailing the stages or phases of love. My favorites were the scientifically written clinical models done by psychology researchers. Just so you know, there are auto repair manuals written with more love and compassion than any stages of love written by a researcher. Stages were

With Valentine’s Day in the month of February, we often think about love and relationships this time of year. As a result, my blogs in the month of February will focus on the different aspects of love.

It’s often said that before you can love someone else, it helps to have a healthy, loving relationship with yourself. Week after week, I see clients that do not have a healthy, loving relationship with themselves…and the toll this takes on their minds and bodies is quite obvious.

Different governments, officials, environmental agencies always seem to be asking us to conserve the energy we use in order to save the environment and sustain our continued existence on the planet. How ironic, that on a personal level, we almost never seem to do that for ourselves! Let’s spend a few minutes considering how to conserve, focus and maximize our own personal supply of energy. We unconsciously dissipate and waste our energy on people, situations, thoughts, attitudes and events which do not personally enrich us. Instead, this leaves less space and energy for creating and attracting the kind of abundance that we truly want in our lives. Interestingly enough I've also found that as I conserve, focus and thereby maximize my energy, I tend to use less energy on craving and acquiring "stuff", but more energy focusing on what is truly important to me, thereby helping the environment.

I am getting married for the 2nd time in a few weeks. I’m marrying a man who has been married twice before. Seemed like a great time to talk about The Fear of Failure! There is nothing more optimistic than 2 people in their mid-50s thinking they’ve learned enough from their past mistakes to try their hand at marriage again.
