I am reminded of how important this is as recently, it has been the theme with families. Parents come in distressed with the choices their child makes. Children are mad, their parents dismiss the choice as stupid, silly or evil. Parents undersestimate their power and children underestimate their draining effects on parents when they are not cooperating.
I recently managed to make a teenager and her conservative parents compromise so she could live with them and still have freedom. Its amazing how quick people jump to threats when they feel threatened.
In this case, the parents threatened to throw the child out. Luckily we avoided that.
Next we have a lady who is frazzled from trying to talk sense to a child. Child reports she is being talked to nicely or having things explained until recently. So there I have to mediate who says what and how it is said. If your child makes a religious choice and you dont agree and they are in their teens, please take heart, many change their mind again at 18 or 21. Instead of acting like their 16 year old behavior is permanent, realize your child like the times, will change and you may see a new picture if you look again.
Till next time.

This concept is a hot word nowadays. Intention refers to being deliberate, being resolute, having a goal and reaching it. Wayne Dyer uses it to discuss happiness. Mallika Chopra has a whole company revolving around this concept, implying every project of hers is inherently successful, which is a powerful thing to do.
Today I set an intention involving budget and achieving a gift goal for a family member and thanks to my focus, I did just that. I managed to stick to a low expenditure, got rid of an item that was going to be a problem piece of jewelry for me and in exchange got what I wanted. Confused? Let me explain. I ordered red agate beads and when I received them they were bigger than I thought they'd be and shipping it back was costly. Determined to save my money, I took them to the Gemfaire and managed to exchange it for a piece of Black Tourmaline which I wanted and had put off buying for several months! My intention worked brilliantly. I discuss this so many of clients would understand how common and frequent your intention needs to be set and how it influences your self esteem. I was determined to succeed and when I did, I felt great. Had I not, I still would have felt good, knowing I tried hard to save and Archangel Ariel, the angel of money management would be impressed and might bless me with a money miracle! So keep telling yourself what you hope to accomplish and you, most likely will since your focus is there. If not, you can feel good about your effort. Hope the point is clear and you have a good Sunday night. Till next time.

I felt prompted today as I got a special message from Fathers passed over yesterday. When I think of today, I realize how lucky I am to have had a loving father, but to know wonderful mature loving men now in my life who have served, and are serving their families as true fathers in every sense of the word. I think of their families each time I see them in Facebook and think how lucky their families and friends are to have each other and how lucky I am to know them as well and to share in that love we call friendship.
The importance of a good father got highlighted when I realized fathers play a part in how much a person thinks they can succeed and manifest what they want in life. How powerful.
If you dont feel you can manifest -please affirm," I am success and in the flow of giving and receiving. I know  success, I am success, I feel success and it shines from my soul and speech." You will feel energized.  Similarly, "I manifest easily, I manifest all good things now, all wonderful people manifest in my life." Try it and tell me what happens.
 So this Fathers day, I am honoring your Father, father figures, and all the positive men in your life as well as mine. I am truly blessed and very grateful. I do meet people who cannot say they know anyone trustworthy and to me that is really heartbreaking. I send love, light and ask all those people feel love, miracles and receive blessings from the divine in place of their Father.
Till next time.

The books created by the Hicks have been made into card decks if that appeals to you-as a way of learning how to apply their concepts. I happen to like it. It works well for my clients. Here are two cards from their Wellbeing cards.

When I'm feeling good, I'm allowing in good, and How Wonderful I am ! (right) I love this deck for the soft watecolor art of the deck, very soothing and nurturing for someone trying to be better/happier. It works well. Keep reaching for better thoughts and I will see you next time.
