Magical job miracle

Hey folks! I've been silent here for a few months.

I've been allowing a beautiful story to unfold.

The story is a great one :)

Stick with it.

A few months ago I was in a funk. As I was driving to work at the bookstore I asked the angels to bring me joyful, uplifting customers. Indeed, a whole group of like 10 people came in that morning and asked if they could stay for a couple of hours. They were in the midst of a team building session at the lighthouse in Saugerties and it had started raining or something so they needed to come inside.

Their team building workshop consisted of each of them being honored by the others. They were sharing poetry written for each other, singing songs written for each other, doing cheers (complete with pompoms), laughing, clapping and having the most fabulous time ever!

I loved them and casually thought it would be great to work with such a bunch of people. I asked them where they were from. They were the psychologists from UGARC. I remember telling one of them that I used to work there 15 years ago.

Fast forward a couple of months. I've been job hunting and getting pretty discouraged. I woke up one morning and felt the calling to check out the job listings at UGARC. I resisted because most of their jobs are weird shifts that I wouldn't be able to do or were direct care positions and I was REALLY resisting that since that is most of what I have done is various capacities in my life. I really wanted a position that would use all my gifts. I heard the guidance again several more times. I finally relented. I looked at their offerings and was drawn to a particular position called Life Services Manager lll.

I felt compelled to apply for the position and got my whole long application together early one Friday morning and dropped it off at their offices on my way to my other part time job. I felt compelled to do this even though it made no logical sense...

That Monday I got an email from a person at UGARC saying they wanted to interview me for the position. The person interviewing me was the same person who I had interacted with at the bookstore and told that I had worked there 15 years ago.

So, I interview for the position and its sounds fabulous. It is a new program, I get to guide the vision. They are breaking away from the old paradigm and finding ways to allow these individuals to shine their light. My position will involve a lot of negotiating between the old and the new. Making sure that the person-centered philosophy is being honored and flourishes.

They loved me at both interviews and I loved them too. A truly inspiring bunch of people.In the middle of the first interview one of the four people from the agency blurted out "Where have you been for the last 4 months???!!!"

I think they love me :)

And another funny thing occurred to me while I was there. I used to work at this place 15 years ago. I left partially because I felt like they weren't walking their talk and there were huge gaps between their person-centered philosophy and their actual practices. During my exit interview 14 years ago I said that I would consider coming back to the agency only in a capacity where I could insure that this philosophy was carried out.

The position I am applying for is a manager of a new program that is on the cutting-edge of person-centered philosophy for individuals with autism!!!

It will be my job to hold the vibe of loving, person-centered services for these folks!!!

And its a new program so I get to vision it and mold it.

And they want me to build a family atmosphere of support and love among the staff :)

I LOVE all these things!

I am so excited to see how this unfolds. It's apparently been unfolding for 15 years, LOL!!

Thank you source.

A whole series of miracles indeed!

So much love,
Sheri

PS -- I forgot to add that on my first full day at the office I was invited to attend the meeting of the Psychology department. A person in my position within the agency wouldn't normally be invited to this meeting. But the universe had other ideas. So, I found myself sitting around a table laughing and joking with those very same folks that graced me with their presence at the bookstore many months ago (and none of them knew the story of how I wished to work with people like them after that day in the bookstore). I love that I offhandedly thought how nice it would be to work with them and - voila, I end up doing just that!

The Big 4-0

Wahooooooo!

I am turning 40 in just a couple of weeks! I've been looking forward to his birthday for quite some time. Somehow I've known that it was going to be a major turning point for me.

I was recently inspired by something Louise Hay said in her movie "You Can Heal Your Life". She was speaking to a HUGE crowd at one of Hay House's "You Can Do It" conferences about having just turned 80.

Her intention on each birthday is that this will be the best year ever. And as each decade starts she intends to have the best decade ever.

So, I wanna tell you how wildly fantastic my 40s are going to be.

My 40s are going to be the best decade ever!!!!!!!!!

"Why?" you ask.

Because this is the decade when I really live my life by MY rules! Bye-bye conditioning and social expectations...

Because this is the decade when I boldly step into all that I came here to do. Look out world...

Because this is the decade when I let go of old fears and patterns and truly shine my light on the world. This little light of mine...

Because this is the decade when my body is in the best shape it has ever been. Strong and slender and energized...

Because this is the decade when I have more tools available for my success than I could ever need. I am fully supported in all that I love to do...

Because this is the decade when my hopes and dreams and inspired actions come to fruition in ways that are even more spectacular than I've allowed myself to dream. California here we come...

Because this is the decade when I allow myself to grow even more deeply in love with my partner, my children, my family, and my self. I am a radiant light of love...

Wow! Holding these intentions puts a whole new spin on my day, week, month, year, decade, life.

Can you feel it?

What are your intentions for this day? This week? This month? This year?

Are you willing to allow yourself to have the Best Year Ever?

Tell me about it!

I love you!

Abraham's Focus Wheel

I'm back!!!!!!!!!

And raring to tell a new story.

One of my favorite tools lately is the Focus Wheel as described by Abraham. If you haven't heard of focus wheels you are in for a treat.

In short you take a statement of where you are now and turn it into its opposite -- where you want to be-- and then write statements that bring you into harmony with that new place.

I'll write more about it soon -- or you can google it and find lots of great info.

In the brief moments I have right now, I wanted to share my latest Focus Wheel (which is actually in list form).

Abraham talks about the vortex being that place where all manner of circumstances and events line up for your utter joy and perfect unfolding.

Where everything you desire is waiting for YOU!

Outside the vortex statement: Nothing in my life is really working and I am going to be depressed and unfulfilled forever. My desires regarding prosperity and career are never going to manifest -- ever...

Inside the vortex statement: Life supports me and all my desires are easily manifested. I am wildly prosperous and have a career that inspires me to be all that I am.

1. Many of my desires have manifested
2. I manifested a beautiful perfect school for my children and 60 other local children. I was key in creating it!
3. I have manifested my perfect partner and soul mate. We have more love and connection and conscious commitment than I ever dreamed possible.
4. When I do the work I love that inspires me I ALWAYS get positive feedback. People love my work and I am GREAT at it!
5. In all my manifestations in the past I have seen after the fact that there were so many factors taking place behind the scenes. I know there are so many things lining up for me now!
6. I have been seeing so many synchronicities lately. I know this means I am on the right path.
7. My disappointment only means i am taking score too soon.
8. My increased desire is making my vibrational escrow even bigger. Look out world!
9. The jobs I currently have are working out for me in many ways. I regularly get praise for the work I do.
10. I have always had enough prosperity to take care of myself and my family. It always works out.
11. I have so many tools and technologies to support me in relaxing into the stream where I will be brought to all my desires.
12. I keep being shown turtle lately and I know this means to be patient and take it slow. Slow and steady wins the race and everything is coming to me now.

Oh yeah baby! I feel fabulous now. Things look different now. I am closer and closer to the vortex. Now I am going to play The Glad Game all day today. I saw Pollyanna last night and I am INSPIRED and ON FIRE!

Be love y'all,
Sheri

Beep-Beep!

Freaky and funky alert!

This post contains information about a little-known and truly cutting-edge technology that may seem far-out to some, but if you bear with me and try it out you may experience some amazing results.

The Telling-A-New-Story-Goddess has had remarkable experiences with this tool and it's time to share!

About a year ago I came across a posting on the internet about a scientific researcher who had created a new sound healing technology. He's found a way to map out the sounds and songs that cells "sing" to each other when in various states of physical and emotional health.

It's pretty astounding...

When you play those sounds (they sound like beeps and pings and weird computer-y sounds -- so I have taken to calling them "beep-beeps") to your body your cells begin to vibrate in synch with the "songs" and you experience various states of physical and emotional clearing and health.

Here are a few snippets from emails I wrote to Don Adams, the developer of these healing frequencies, over the past year. These reports speak to the power of this technology:

"I have to say I feel better than I can remember EVER in my life. I feel a deep sense of joy and ease and rightness that comes from inside me. Not a happiness based on external circumstances, for nothing has changed in my life (YET) other than my attitude.

I can't even explain the level of well-being I feel. I feel radiant and soft and confident and fabulous :)

I've been using Electric Blue Fire Star and the Get Grounded freqs for a few days. Mostly been listening at a relatively low volume.

Thank you Doc. A million thanks!

I look forward to the external effects that WILL follow my internal shift."

"I just wanted to share my experiences with the frequency "Obsession Buster". I am not really going through any type of emotional issues in the present moment, but I have been doing some deep emotional clearing of old issues lately. I put on the Obsession Buster frequency the other day and immediately felt the effects. I felt heavier energies being lifted from me and I felt the cloud of heaviness begin to lift away. I continued to listen to this frequency -- sometimes with one or two others looped in (induce happiness and light and dispel negativity) for various amounts of time over the next few days and felt the emotional fog lift."

"I was listening again today -- lying down on my massage table right next to the speakers. Played Neuroteleportal, Space Warp, Bio-Sparkarama, and Hyperspace -- just one time through. It apparently doesn't take me much... On the first time through I got very relaxed and felt buzzing and great. My body spasmed a few times, which it does when energetic blocks are released. When it got to Bio-Sparkarama I began laughing uncontrollably. My partner and youngest son thought it was very funny. I felt deep energies clearing and lifting and the laughing just come through. When it got to Hyperspace I felt a lot of energy around my head and felt very relaxed again and as if I was in the midst of a deep healing session. My partner came over and asked what was going on because he saw beings working at my head and my feet. I felt their presence as well. Afterwards Michael, my partner, said my energy field looked much different. Apparently I often have an area of congested energy around the back of my head and it was shifted and more clear after the session. I definitely felt as if I had experienced a deep healing session."

"I've noticed amazing effects in term of my mood and general feelings of well being and attitude. I feel more self confident, joyful, optimistic. I notice a feeling of connection to the universe and as if things are truly lining up on my behalf. I have actually felt truly, deeply joyful and also noticed a shell of old sadness that has been keeping the joy from fully expressing."

Now, fair warning, I am a very sensitive person. Energies affect me quickly and strongly. Not everyone who uses these frequencies has this intensity of effects so soon, but I sure did. And for that I am grateful.

If you feel called to investigate these tools, there are free demos available here. I'd love to hear how it goes for you!

Now you can start Telling A New Story at a cellular level!!!!!

Afformations -- or -- Why is my life so freaking fantastic?

You've heard of affirmations, right?

Just in case you've been hiding under a rock, or are really new to this telling a new story stuff, I'll clue you in briefly about affirmations.

Affirmations are positive statements you make about yourself, your life, your friends, your finances. Statements that affirm your value and worthiness and inherent goodness. Statements that clarify what you are inviting into your life.

For example, "I love and approve of myself just the way I am."

Affirmations are fantastic.

Affirmations can assist in creating miracles.

(Though I am becoming more aware that what we call miracles are truly nothing more than us uncovering the reality of existence. We just think they are miracles because we so rarely open ourselves to the reality of life)

And as great as affirmations are, do you know what happens sometimes?

Sometimes they backfire.

Have you ever experienced this?

You get all psyched and do your affirmations -- "I love and approve of myself just the way I am. I love and approve of myself just the way I am. I love and approve of myself just the way I am. I love and approve of myself just the way I am."

Great! I did it!

HOWEVER...

If you don't believe the affirmative statement it can sometimes reinforce the lack of whatever you are affirming.

You can say the affirmation all day long, but if you don't feel the truth of the statement, if you are hearing your internal critic tell you all the reasons it's not true and could never be true...well it's not that effective.

Don't feel badly about it. It's just the way our minds work. It's difficult or impossible to just convince ourselves of something we don't already believe is true.

We need evidence to support our claims.

This is where afformations come into play.

An afformation is an empowering question you ask yourself that triggers your brain to search for evidence that it is true.

And as you gather evidence that it is true, you begin to trust and believe in the idea behind the afformation and big time shifts happen.

You will be telling a new story in no time flat.

So, an afformation related to the affirmation I used earlier would go like this:

"Why do I love and approve of myself?"

Ask yourself that empowering question.

Notice how your brain starts looking for evidence to support it. That's the beauty of afformations. Your brain will support you in changing your beliefs about yourself. You won't need to fight it, it will be your ally.

Once you start gathering answers to your empowering questions you'll be shifting your internal beliefs in a powerful way.

So, now that I have very briefly shared with you why affomrations are so potent and useful, I want to end with a little rampage of afforamtions for myself...

Feel free to borrow any of all of them...

OH! And I've found that mixing in questions that you already fully know the answers to along with the ones that you would like more evidence for increases the usefulness of the technique...

So, here goes...and know that repetition is just fine!

Why is my life so fabulous? Why do I have an ever increasing number of readers? Why does money and prosperity flow to me so easily and effortlessly? Why do I feel such joy in every moment?

Why am I able to find the best in everything? Why do clients and jobs and projects that inspire me just flow to me in such surprising ways all the time?

Why am I in such perfect health? Why does my relationship with Michael keep getting better and better every day? Why does everything I desire come to me in perfect timing?

Why am I so fantastically wealthy? Why am I sought after for my work throughout the world? Why am I so healthy and slender and strong? Why do all my relationships bring me endless joy?

Why do I have everything I have ever wanted? Why do I always remember my connection to the divine? Why does everything unfold in perfect time for me? Why is my heart so wide open?

Why do I know that a perfect house on the beach is on its way to me now? Why do I feel inspired to exercise daily? Why do I love everything about myself? Why is my patience growing exponentially in every moment?

Why do I have an unlimited supply of abundance that flows to me whenever I need it? Why is my life a perfect reflection of the joy I feel in each moment? Why do I have such a successful healing practice?

Why am I willing and able to stand in my power in every moment? Why are all my relationships a perfect reflection of the love and peace I have in my heart? Why am I traveling the world teaching and holding space for healing?

Why is my body at is perfect weight now? Why does everything in my life flow to me at the perfect time?

Why am I now smiling from each to ear?

Answer: Afformations!!!!

Go ahead. Try it now! Feel the love!

All love,
Sheri

Strike a pose!

Take a few slow, deep breaths...

In...

Out...

In...

Out...

Now take a moment to imagine something.

Imagine that every dream you've ever had has just come true.

Your dream job, dream house, dream lover, dream vacation have just all fallen into your lap.

Let that sink in.

You are filled with joy and lightness, eager anticipation, and gratitude beyond belief.

Now imagine how your body would look and feel in this moment.

What do you see?

For me, I imagine my hands together in prayer position in front of my heart and then raised above my head in a triumphant pose..

My smile extends from ear to ear.

My feet are spread apart and firmly planted on the ground. Well, actually they are doing some fine dancing and tapping as well ;)

And I am laughing like there is no tomorrow.

Do you have a mental picture of the form your body would take in this "imaginary" situation? It is likely to be different from mine. Just go with the first image you get and TRUST.

Now, stay with me here...

Get up and strike that pose.

Feel the energy as you do it.

By merely taking this physical stance you are inviting in the energies that will make you dreams come true.

Once you feel the feelings, the physical stuff is not too far behind.

We usually get it messed up and think that the feelings come from the stuff. Not so.

The "stuff" comes from the feelings.

And even if you don't believe me, the worst/best that will happen if you try striking the pose is that you will feel some celebratory energy -- and that's a great thing no matter what!

Get up and strike a pose!

I dare you!

Beaming,
Sheri

The Power of Make Believe

This is the first time I am including an entire post from another individual on my blog.

I never planned to do this, but...

Michael Neill is a brilliantly inspired writer and coach. His works have changed my life. The concepts and exercises that are expressed in this excerpt are especially powerful.

You can read more about Michael Neill's work at www.geniuscatalyst.com

In-Joy!

What do you believe right now? Take a few moments to finish these 'sentence starters' for yourself. You can do this in your head, but I strongly encourage you to jot down your answers somewhere you can find them after you've finished the book. That's because they are likely to have changed so radically by the time we've finished our time together you won't remember them later:


Life is...

I am...

People are...

Money is...

The most important thing to know about happiness is...

Now, however you've finished those sentences - positive or negative, thought through or impulsive, heartfelt or not - is simply an insight into how you currently see the world. Hopefully, you chose to answer honestly, knowing that no one but you need ever see your answers.

Look again at your answers. Do they feel 'right' to you? Can you think of lots of evidence and examples to back them up?

The secret we will be exploring in this session underpins everything else we will be doing together, because it explains why we see what we see, hear what we hear, feel what we feel and do what we do. It's a secret that has been talked about in many times and in many traditions from around the world and is 'secret' not because no one wants you to know it but because it's so difficult to talk about - like trying to explain the concept of water to a fish.

The secret is that we each live in our own separate reality. This is not some kind of an esoteric theory, but a physiological fact. Our brains filter information through the five senses then make representations of that information inside our minds. We then experience these representations, first as thoughts and then as emotions. But as we re-present the information in our mind, certain bits of the data are inevitably deleted, distorted and generalized. And since we all delete, distort and generalize that information slightly differently, we all have slightly (or sometimes completely) different perceptions of what is going on around us.

In other words, the way we think determines what we see, hear and feel, regardless of what is actually going on around us in the world. Or, to put it slightly differently, there's what happens and there's what we think about what happens. And what makes this important is that the lion's share of our decisions, feelings and actions in life will be based on our thoughts, not the objective facts.

This is neither a new idea nor one associated with any one particular field of study. In quantum physics, the uncertainty principle says that we can never study anything objectively because 'the observer always influences the observed'. Psychologists talk about 'the Pygmalion effect' and linguists say, 'The map is not the territory.' Shakespeare wrote, 'There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so,' and in the Christian Bible, Jesus says, 'As you think, so shall you become.'

Perhaps my favourite way of thinking about this secret comes from one of my early mentors, author and supercoach Serge Kahili King. He describes the principle of thought like this:


The world is what you think it is.

While at first glance this may seem an innocuous idea, its implications are far-reaching. If the world is what you think it is, then life becomes one giant self-fulfilling prophecy. Your expectations create your experience, and if anything happens that confounds your expectations, you will most likely find a way of explaining it away or fitting it into your existing worldview. And any attempt you might make to 'prove' your theories about the world objectively will never gain universal acceptance, because you're creating that world through your thinking in one way and other people are creating it through their thinking in another way.

Today's Experiment:

If this all seems much too heady for a book about having more happiness, ease and success in your life, here's a simple experiment to experience this phenomenon for yourself:


Get a piece of paper and a pen (or make notes in the book).


Now, take 30 seconds to look around you and make a list of everything you can see that's green. (Do this before you move on to step three.)


When you have completed your list, put down your pen. As soon as you finish reading this sentence, close your eyes and make a list of everything around you that's brown.
Now, if you actually took the minute or so it takes to do this experiment, you will have had a direct experience of the effect of what you hold in your mind on what you experience in the world. If you're still a bit befuddled, all you need to remember is this:


You will always tend to see whatever it is you are looking for.

Everything you will be learning in our time together is based on the fact that you are creating your experience of everything in your life through the way that you think about it. If you're having a wonderful experience, well done - you're creating that experience from the raw material of your life. If you're having a horrible experience, well, well done - you're creating that, and it can begin to change at any moment. Because once you really begin to understand how your thoughts create your 'reality', you will no longer be a victim of the process.

With love,

Michael Neil
