Have you ever caught your Judge running your show?  I did just the other day for the umpteen time.  I became aware of how much my judge was comparing me to everyone and everything.  It was pointing out all the accomplishments& successes of others and smearing them in my face.  The judge had a great case with so much evidence that all I wanted to do was crawl into a hole and hide.  On this particular day, I felt like the world was coming to an end.  I felt so so small.  It was a dark, black place I was in that seemed infinite and never ending.  When I find myself consumed by the judge, its as if I can’t move, I’m paralyzed, I’m almost comatose.

So I started to explore the judge, its color and its message realizing that it really wants to keep me safe and protect me from saying the wrong thing, making a fool out of myself, or being embarrassed or ashamed.  I started to thank the judge for all it has done for me

because it has really done a good job at keeping me small and safe. 

And then I started to feel a little bit playful and invited my judge into my closet to play dressup and choose some really fun clothes.  And before I knew it-guess what the judge chose?  Some really bright turquoise sparkly , cool genie pants!  Right then and there the judge transformed into the most beautiful genie and took out her beautiful, magical bottle and this is what she told me:

When ever the judge starts to act up again and it is making you feel small and useless, call upon the genie and let her out of the bottle to speak the truth!  So I invite you all to do the same-when your judge is commanding you, dictating you-look at what the content is of the judgements and pass it on to your genie who can transform it into your magical

Dream reality.  What ever it is that is making you feel small or weakening you can become fuel to propel you forward towards manifestion.

Join my upcoming Teleclass to transform your own Judge into your Genie.

Here’s to the Truth about how fabulous you are!

Part 1:
I’ve had the opportunity to help a friend in need move and pack.  One occasion was a pre-arranged time that I set aside to give her a few hours of my undivided attention to help her make decisions on packing up her belongings of 20 years.  On this particular day, I was in a real funk.  It happened to be the day the hurricane was supposed to hit on the East Coast and my insides felt like they were questioning everything and anything.  I could have easily not gotten out of bed or called her with a volume of excuses.  Yet, I stuck to my plan and kept myself very busy during the day going to market, cleaning the house (attending to chores) before I went off to be of “help” so I wouldn’t feel guilty leaving a dirty home or uncompleted tasks. 

So I arrived at her house and was welcomed by an avalanche of STUFF. I immediately went into the service mode.  We attacked her closet and made decisions of what to keep, give away, and bring on her year long travel.  Time flew.  I was immersed and totally able to be in her skin and help her make decisions piece by piece. And in the process, I noticed I was feeling lighter and lighter.  After 4 hours of this helping therapy, I drove home and noticed I was absolutely ELATED.  I noted to myself that I need to make a list of my friends who might need my help and the next time I’m in a "funk" I can whip out my list and call one of them up and ask how I might help them.

I had a pleasant surprise the next day.   I awoke with the most peaceful feeling ever.  It was like the calm after the storm. And I got word from the daughter that she was safe and sound after the hurricane evacuation and would be going back to herapartment.  I then listened to Michael Beckwith speak about how our Needs are already met and I witnessed a miracle manifestation by Cynthia Keresey who summoned the Agape audience to come forward in giving to handle the communities financial shortfall.  And before our eyes we got a demonstration about how our needs really are met!! 

Check out Part 2 on the side links!

At first when I thought about jumping in a car (30 minutes by car)and helping her, I felt like I would be resentful because I didn’t get my exercise in and time with my partner.  I thought I can’t go with that energy.  Then Lorn came up with a brilliant idea for me to ride over there.  He suggested we ride our normal bike ride and at the turn around I continue on to my friend’s home and then meet up with him later on at our evening activity which was about a mile from her house and he could meet me there with the car so we could bring my bike home. 

It all worked out-I showed up at my friends house at the exact time another angel friend came and together we powered outand packed up her bags and got her on her way safely.  The feeling I had of helping her was incredible.  I received so much just in being able to give of myself.  And I didn’t have to sacrifice what I was intending to do which often happens when people are in service.  I noticed that in taking care of me by biking over there, I was fully able to be present for her and attend to her needs.  What a win/win for all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I hope that my illustrations of being of service will inspire you to do the same!

I've committed to taking the 30 Blog Challenge and right now its a litte overwhelming to think I can do this, yet I think that it is great preparation for the book I am writing.   So I am going to document this big goal I have about writing a book by starting here.

What I know to be true is that for me to accomplish anything and be successful at it, it begins with the thought.  So that's my first tip to Success is to THINK IT!

Thinking of writing a book has been a constant companion in my psche for the past 25 years.  I remember first arriving to the Islands in my early 20's and as I was out weeding the pineapple patch, painting endless boards, and putting in electrical wires, I was concocting book titles.  Amazing 25 years later, I am still doing the same thing.  Somehow, this time it seems different because I have a plan, a focus, and a support system to help keep me on track.

When I really track my thinking process, I notice that it is closely related to dreaming.  When I was around 7 years old, I innoncently claimed, "When I grow up, I'm going to live in Hawaii."  One could say it was a dream and yet it became a reality.  So it seems that the seed was planted in my unconcious.  And this is how it is with this book.  I am planting the seed.  I am preparing the ground so it can be nurtured and watered.

I invite you along this ride-to pick your own goal to accomplish in 2011 and join me in the creative process.

I used the tune of "old MacDonald".  I am translating it from Hebrew here just so that you will understand the idea-we use it for toddlers from 1-3 years (It's 3 taps at every point-  8 points including top of head)

Thula had it figured out that we would celebrate Thanksgiving full on before she left and  in January  we’d do the full on  x-mas tree, stockings,  menorah (lighting of candles,)and the works when she returns sometime in January.  By the way, Thula is off in Guam & the Phillipines performing with the Great American Circus.  I imagine that Thula was afraid that she would miss out on the festivities of the holidays being so far away, yet her Celebration Queen is in full gear orchestrating.

So my parents  rescheduled their Hawaii visit all the way from Conn. so that they could celebrate Thanksgiving early with Thula.  We had a great, fun day.   Then  Thula’s coach was also going off to work for the holidays and wanted to celebrate Thanksgiving early with her own family so she included Thula in their feast.   And then on the real Thanksgiving day, Thula was in Guam and got to celebrate with an American family who had the entire circus troupe of 17 over to their house for a home cooked feast.  So Thula scored with 3 Thanksgiving feasts on 3 different days.

So back in Hawaii-on Thanksgiving Day, I thought all my troubles or stresses were over, yet something new appeared.  We had planned to go to a Community celebration for their afternoon meal.  I was balancing the act of preparing our contribution for the meal with a million other tasks.  My partner announced that we were to be leaving 15 minutes before I had planned. And he added innocently, “I want to be on time, besides, I always have to wait for you.”

Immediately I felt deflated, hurt, accused, OOCH!  My inner mean girl took a hold of his words and wanted to fight back-“What do you mean you have to wait for me and how dare you….blah blah blah and finally I   and yelled back the ultimate jabby attack,  “Then you can go alone!”  I ran out of the kitchen and pouted for about 5 minutes until was able to make a shift and access the truth of the situation.  I acknowledged to myself that I wanted to be with him and have fun.  So I got back into gear moving at a pace I could handle.  We arrived 5 whole minutes late to the gathering, and it didn’t matter.  I felt at ease and grateful.

So Christmas is coming and its definitely not going to be the same without Thula  being here. Since we live in Hawaii, we’re fortunate to have lots of friends and family visiting us. Now, I’m sitting here taking a break.  Realizing that this holiday season can be easeful and fun.  Its all about attitude and being in choice.  I get to plan our gifts with my daughter on Skype .  How cool is that!  I get to celebrate with people I don’t normally  see.   And it’s a great time to change some of my old programming.  So here's a tap-along audio  I created about an old stuffing pattern that I’ve transformed into filling myself up with love.  You can listen to it here http://bit.ly/h68fi9 with the meridian points here.
