Lisa Turley Walker is everything bright and beautiful and joyful. To see her on stage one would think that everything must have always been right in her world for her to exude such confidence and grace… that is until she tells her story. Like most of us, well let’s be honest all of us have experienced unwanted pain or worry because of the actions of others, often loved ones. The physical and emotional agony that can weigh on us so heavily can cause the very life of our spirit to feel lost and hopeless, add to that financial stress and worries and you have all the makings for fear, depression, pain, and doubt. Lisa and her “Wing Team” have seen just about every heartbreak and hurdle life can throw. They are doing great things in helping people to spread their wings and soar!

Kevin Hall never fails to deliver powerful and inspirational messages. Recounting his experience 6 years ago after walking through the streets of Vienna, he came across a shop owned by a man who taught him “the secret word”…. Genshai (pronounced gen-shy) is an ancient Hindi word meaning you should never treat another person in a manner that would make them feel small… including yourself. When we treat someone with pure, unconditional brotherly love we become a true practitioner of Genshai. I will be traveling to Vienna in October to that little fabric shop where the beginning of great work transpired; I am looking forward to being in that sacred space. Kevin also shared with us that you will most likely find your passion in your darkest hour. Many times the hardest things we encounter are often our greatest gifts. Kevin’s book “Aspire” is at the top of my favorite reads, it has changed my life.

Chad Hymas revealed something that at first seemed ridiculous, he said, “there is no such thing, as a “motivational speaker” for the “motivation” has to occur within our selves.” An Aha Moment! No one would be more qualified to speak this truth than Chad. His life and plans were forever changed when an accident on his family’s ranch left him a quadriplegic. His powerful message that it is not usually easy or convenient to do the necessary and difficult things it takes to heal and grow and soar. He taught 3 things that helped him gain momentum in his healing. 1- Change your habits. 2- Find other people that are like you. 3-Give more than you take. Chad is a most amazing example of what we choose to believe about our selves defines our destiny. Dreams are not destroyed by our circumstances; dreams are destroyed by our beliefs. There will most likely always be heartbreak, fear and doubt in your life, choose to soar not just in spite of your wounds but because of them.

What do you believe is possible in your life? Your past does not define your future. “Don’t be afraid to dream, for out of such fragile things come miracles.” Will you choose to stay wounded or will you choose to SOAR?

Namaste,

One woman, Christine, really seemed to grasp what I was talking about and went beyond the sewing business we created to add another entreprenurial interest.  On her own initiative, she contacted me (through much effort at a cyber cafe) to see if I would be interested in selling Kazuri jewlery to my friends in the US.  Having already bought Kazuri beads, I was very interested.  (They retail for $70 a strand in the USA – Meryl Streep supports the company with her many purchases!).  I proposed that she buy them directly from the factory, send them to me and I would mark them up $10 for profit to her.  The plan worked as Christine learned much about business:  She had to get courage to hire a taxi to take to her an hour away to another city to purchase the jewelry, she had to get a bank account so I could transfer her the money etc.

And now Christine has a source of income that keeps her and several adopted children alive.  Please consider purchasing some jewelry to help Christine again.  She is an angel who passes the money she receives on to other women in need.  

I have enclosed an email that I received from her thanking me for our first jewelry adventure:

hii dear . thanks for the prayers, even though you may never know it but sicerely speaking out of my heart GOD USED YOU AS HISCHANEL OF BLESSING. TO REACH  SOMEONE IN NEED.i had about 230 u.s dolars. i send for sara 60 dalars. as you had said. igave linet 20dolars. i din,t  tell her eny thing  but i gave her and told her its abiessing that i wanted to share with her. and she was very moved, you khow when you have nothing and you dont even know where your next meal wil come from . and someone give you the money . its actually GOD CAN USE ENY ONE TO REACH YOU. AND SHE WAS SO HAPPY. sara receved the money and she was so moved she almost shead tears  of thanks giving . it was so great, as much as i wantend to speand the money alone. GOD KNEW THAT MONEY WAS TO PASS THOUGH My hands to reach someone else. awoman who was in labour pain reached my place and she could not walk eny more so .she had to give bith to her baby at my house, becos theirv was no money for abulence. and she was teared so we had to help her out she stayed at my place /for 3day and i bought her some food. and medicine for the baby. you see how god used you . you helpd me out and i helped someone out. and we were all blesd and happy.

We all have opportunities in our lives to give and to serve others. Christine is one that I have taken under my wing.  She has a thirst for knowledge and improving her life.  She also has a heart to help others as you read from the email above.

If you have it in your own heart to purchase a piece of jewelry, please know that 100% of the money goes to Christine.  You literally will be putting food in the mouths of many.

Click here to see jewelry that I currently have available.

I have 6 Kazuri necklaces plus many other Masaii tribal jewelry that Christine purchased at a local market.  All the jewelry is made by women and goes to help women.

Thanks for your support!  Message me @ ann.webb@gmail.com to let me know which piece you want and your address etc.

In addition to playing a huge part in the lives of my boys, I have had the privilege of connecting with Dr. Paul many times as we have common business circles and associates, we also share many of the same friends. As a shout-out to Dr Paul…. he is truly one of my favorite people on the planet!

During My Interview with Dr Paul he asked me questions that most people want to know,  “Why does LifeVision work?” and “Can the “average” person achieve extraordinary results by creating and recording a LifeVision?” My answer, Absolutely! Many of my clients are looking to improve area’s of their life like healing a broken relationship, developing new eating habits, stepping out of their comfort zone, delivering a successful presentation, or learning a new skill like painting. I have learned that it’s when the little things you want to improve are clearly defined and acted upon effectively all add up creating extraordinary results that lead to your Ideal Life.

Minutes ago, I received an email which compliments this idea:

“I’ve only missed listening to my Life Vision a couple of days since I got it recorded about 6 weeks ago.  One of the personal goals I had was to read a biography about George Washington before the end of the year. I read the last pages of the book on Saturday night. I included goals for my relationships with my kids and wife and have noticed those relationships gradually, but consistently, improving. It’s been interesting for me to see things as they begin to manifest themselves. So far, for me, things aren’t appearing out of thin air but I feel more intense about doing the things that are necessary to accomplish the things that are important to me. I’m more willing to make the choices that lead to what I want. Life Vision has been a wonderful experience.”

I invite you to take a few minutes and listen in as Dr. Paul and I enjoy a casual conversation about Creating Your LifeVision! Go to link here.

**Dr. Paul’s hobby is his radio show “Live on Purpose”. I’ve listened to several episodes and always come away feeling inspired.  He’s a master interviewer and radio personality!  You can receive his weekly podcasts by subscribing to iTunes on the right column of the above link.  He’s an inspiration!

There are laws that govern success in an individuals life.  Laws that if we are ignorant about, we are restricted and cannot fly.  When we learn the laws that give us the ability to succeed, anyone, anytime can do so as easily as we can now with the power of flight.  Napoleon Hill spent 20 years studying the similarities of over 500 ultra successful people in his day.  He compiled his findings and put it in book form and called it, “16 lessons on the Laws of Success.”   There he covers the laws that govern success and makes it so anyone who has an open mind can discover that which would make him/her successful in their lives.  This book was at one time considered too powerful for the common man.
Come join me as I facilitate a class going over the principles contained in this book.  The first class we will cover the first 2 principles, The Power of the Mastermind and a Definite Chief Aim.

Tara admits she puts in “some bold statements” despite “not knowing the HOW”.  People ask me all the time what they should write when they don’t know “HOW” they are going to accomplish their goal. In those situations it’s even more important that the emotion and motivation are HUGE!  We know from The Law of Attraction that your results and experiences match your dominant vibration.  In other words, when you vibrate at the place of…I just don’t know how to create it…I don’t know how to make it happen…this is too big for me…it just isn’t possible, take a wild guess what you’ll experience?

On the other hand, if you focus on the motivation and emotion….what it FEELS like and let it go, you’ll be amazed at the results you’ll attract.  By letting go, I mean that I trusted that when the time was right, it would all come together.  In your LifeVision you can focus on the feeling of “receiving” or accomplishment.

Is it appropriate to put the HOW (action plan) into a LifeVision?  Absolutely.  I know EXACTLY what I need to do to finish and compete well in a triathlon or century bike race.  (There is such a thing as a training schedule….they work wonders!)  That’s the HOW of my triathlon experience.  So my advice is always this….if you know the HOW, put it in there, if you don’t….FEEL it, DESIRE it and write down those emotions and it will show up!

But seriously….being alone for 24 hours in the mountains?  Was this a good idea?  (We had a bear at the cabin last fall that kinda scared the $@#$ out of me).  I must say it was one of the best experiences I’ve had in a VERY long time.  I considered it one of the most spiritually centering things I’ve done for myself.

Here’s what I did (lest you think I just slept and watched movies the entire time…although that would have been fun if that were my “intention”.)

1)  I “fasted” from food & technology for a full 24 hours!  No phone, text, internet, TV.  NO worries about buying, purchasing or consuming food.  It was wonderful not wondering what the next morsel I put into my mouth would be.

With no technology or food “preoccupations” my attention was able to focus elsewhere once I went through some “withdrawal” symptoms.

2)  I spent many hours praying, meditating, pondering, and letting my mind roam on all sorts of possibilities. If anyone was “looking”, I’m sure it looked like I wasn’t being very productive, but spiritual downloads are VERY productive.  Because I was alone with no distractions it was very conducive to receiving “personal revelation”…..in other words, God’s Word and Will for me personally.  I was able to get very clear on what many of my next steps were (in all areas of my life)  with approval from my higher power!

3)  I read lots of books that gave me new ideas to ponder.  (No novels this time….just spiritual, religious, and personal development books).  I think I brought up 5-6 different books and intuitively selected exactly what I needed to read.  These books gave me an additional “boost” in motivation and inspiration…always a good thing.

4)  I wrote in my journal and took inventory of the first half of the year and if I had closed the gap between where I was and where I wanted to be.  I also took a notebook and did a few “cleansing” exercises to get rid of negative emotion that seemed to be stuck in my heart.  When I was done  I felt 10 lbs lighter! (or was that from the “fasting”?) Journaling is a great way to connect with feelings and emotions and other unresolved things.

5)  I wrote a new Lifevision was unlike any other LifeVision I’ve ever written.  I broke many of my Lifevision rules, but I felt it was coming from God’s lips to my ear (or fingers).  A very spiritual experience to get a download like that.  I even got it recorded and have been listening to it and feel so incredibly centered on exactly what my purpose is.

6)  I continued up the mountain to a few isolated lakes that I walked around. That connection with nature is SO powerful.  I had many moments of absolute BLISS.

So that is the condensed version of my weekend, but it gives you an idea of what can happen in a short amount of time if you set the intention, create the environment and make it happen!

What are your thoughts?  Can you visualize yourself having this experience?  What would you want to accomplish in 24 hours alone?

Poor self image is not a new problem.  We have been hearing about it for years.  We talk about the effects of the media on young girls.  We talk about the weight of the models in the fashion industry.  We talk about the responsibility schools and parents have to teach our children.  We do a lot of talking!  And yet I still see so many women, both adults and teens that do not feel good in their own skin. And I see an increasing trend toward extreme measures to achieve a certain look.

Dove soap did an awesome marketing campaign trying to promote real beauty.   Several department stores and clothing lines started using “plus sized” models to show their lines.  But when they followed up their campaigns with market research, they did not find positive results.  They found that women prefer looking at skinny, beautiful, perfect models.  Even though the models made women feel worse about themselves, they felt better about the products.

To me this is just evidence for what we all know.  A healthy self image must come from within! We cannot wait for the media to give us permission to be happy as we are.  They tried and we didn’t listen!  We must stop telling ourselves that it is normal not to love our bodies.  As women, we must feel, act and be beautiful if we are going to pass on a healthier view to our children.  I recently heard a woman tell a group of teenagers who were complaining about their bodies that they would always hate their bodies.  That it wouldn’t change when they got older and they just needed to get used to it.  I almost choked!  It is not normal to hate your body!  It is not healthy to think you have beautiful eyes, but a big nose and terrible smile!  I am 5 foot 3 and curvy.  I have a big nose and I am beautiful.  I will never look like a super model, and no super model will ever look like me!  We are each unique.

I wanted to teach this message in one of my upcoming trainings and had the idea to make a video of women of all different ages, colors, and sizes celebrating their natural beauty. The project took off!  Women are dying for permission to be beautiful just the way they are!

The video will be available to download for free.  It will also be available to purchase along with a teaching and discussion guide.  Please use it!  Please join me in helping to start a change.

If you would like to join us in spreading this message, I would LOVE to have you!  This will be an experience to remember.  Come share your natural beauty with us!  All ages of women are welcome.

SendOutCards is a web based “keeping in touch” system.  With over 15,000 ready made designs you are sure to find the perfect card.  For example, the search bar makes it easy to find all cards with a pickle on the front.  The system is very intuitive, you simply choose your card, write a personal message, type in the recipient’s address and that’s it.  With one click of a button, the system prints, addresses, stamps and mails your card through the US Postal service. And, if you love taking pictures, you can create your own card chalk full of those personal photos.  Now, you might be wondering how much this convenient service costs.  I mean, the contact manager reminds you of birthdays & anniversaries, lets you create campaigns to specific groups of people, lets you create your own layouts much like Photoshop Elements, it must cost a lot! Well, I’m happy to report that a standard 2 panel card costs as little as 62 cents plus a stamp for wholesale customers, and 98 cents plus a stamp for retail customers.  And, with SendOutCards you no longer need to search for stamps, or find the cards you purchased a few weeks ago!

For me, SendOutCards has really helped create a positive change in my life. I’ve always considered myself to be a thoughtful person.  But, now, looking back, I realize I was just a person with good intentions that rarely followed through on my promptings to reach out to someone else.  Now, I send a heartfelt card to someone every day.  If I’m talking to someone on the phone and they are having a bad day, I get off the phone, login to SendOutCards and send that person a beautiful card to cheer her up.  My first story using SendOutCards was heartwarming to say the least.  I decided I needed to send an old boss that I worked for over 15 years ago a card to thank him for always making me feel that I was valuable.  I also included some gourmet brownies. (yes, there is a gift catalog with many wonderful selections to choose from!)  About 5 days later, I received a phone call from this man.  He is a busy financial planner and well respected in his community. He began the conversation by saying he had received my nice card and gift and that he was overwhelmed by it.  I asked him when he received it and he said “Well, I actually received it yesterday but I had to wait a day to get my composure before calling you.  I can’t remember ever receiving a card like this.”  It was an emotional moment for me as I realized that we really aren’t appreciating each other like we should.  We wait until someone is sick or dies before expressing our heartfelt emotions.  I’m reminded of a thought I heard last summer.  “Most of us wear an invisible sign on our shirts that says ‘appreciate me.’”

Now that I’ve been using SendOutCards for one year, my story book has grown.  Some are funny, some are tearful, but all of my recipients have expressed a heartfelt thanks for my kind words.  And, now I can say that I am a thoughtful person who acts on her promptings.

——————————-

Amy said it best with her above blog post, but I wanted to add my own 2 cents here.  I have been using SendOut Cards for just a month now and I LOVE IT!  To reiterate what Amy said, it’s about Connection and Convenience.  I have been too unorganized to send out cards to people.  I never have a card when I need one and I always have the wrong stamps (because they just raised the price!).  So I gave up on the whole “Reach out and Touch Someone” idea.

Here’s the brutal truth….I have a goal to do a good deed every day. (Yes, it’s in my Lifevision).   It makes the world a better place and it helps me feel good about myself while at the same time making someone’s day.  There are days when it’s really easy to find something meaningful to do.  And then there’s the days the slip by and I wonder how I made a difference.  Those are the days that I get on my computer and think of a friend, business associate, or even just an acquaintance that I can make a difference for…just by appreciating them.

As far as increasing my Relationship Capital….it’s been a home-run!  I even get cards from people appreciating my cards!  Ha!  (I think that’s funny!)

So if you’re wanting to improve or build your relationships, feel more gratitude, or do a good turn daily….take a look at this.  If you’re interested in sending cards, using this as a business tool (I do) or even as an additional revenue stream, please talk to me/email me or just go to this link: https://www.sendoutcards.com/annwebb

Then I heard Jack Canfield tell a story about a test NASA did several years ago.  They were testing the physiological and psychological impact of spatial disorientation on potential astronauts.  So they put convex goggles on these astronaut candidates that made everything appear upside down.  They had to wear these glasses 24/7 — without ever taking them off.  So everything appeared upside down all the time.  At first, the astronauts were under a lot of stress and anxiety, but eventually they started adjusting.  About 30 days into the experiment, something amazing happened!  The men’s brains had created new neural pathways so they started to see everything normal — even though they were still wearing the glasses that made everything appear upside down!  They did the experiment again, this time taking the goggles off partway into the experiment, but the new neural pathways did not form.  The brain needed about 30 uninterrupted days for the new neural connections to form within the brain.

When I heard about this experiment, I decided to try my own experiment.  I took a 15-minute self-hypnosis session on weight loss from a highly respected weight loss hypnotist and listened to it EVERY night for 30 nights in a row!  I didn’t feel different in any way; in fact, at times I wondered if it was even working!  But I was determined to see the experiment through to the end.

After the 30 nights, I stopped listening to it to see if I really attracted anything different into my life.  Within a few weeks, one of my sisters called and told me about a new weight loss program that many of her friends had lost weight with.  Intuitively, I knew this was what I had been looking for.  To make a long story short, I lost 30 lb in the next 2 months — after going for 10+ years with zero success!

Try your own experiment — just be sure that you do it for 30 consecutive days/nights!  I find it most effective to listen to the recording as you are waking up or going to sleep because that’s when your subconscious is the most receptive to new ideas — as it is coming out of and going into theta brain frequency!  I would love to hear how your own experiment goes!

• 18 days later….How are those New Years Resolutions going?

I have taken this to heart and purchased 11 books from Kevin.  Each day over the last 2 weeks, I have re-read one chapter and thought deeply about who personifies the word.  I have then taken a Power of Words card (that Kevin gave me) and shared with this person WHY I think they are a powerful example of that word.  It’s hard to accurately describe the emotions that come to the surface when you are sharing with another the power and example they are in your own personal life.  This book has also been a very powerful catalyst in building relationships for me.

The eleven words explored in this book are:

• Genshai (The Secret Word)
• Pathfinder
• Namaste’
• Passion
• Sapere Vedere
• Humility
• Inspire
• Empathy
• Coach
• Ollin
• Integrity

It’s very hard for me to pick my favorite word/chapter, but I would have to say that the chapter on Genshai has had a lasting effect on me.   The Ancient Hindi word Genshai. (pronounced gen-shy) means that you should never treat another person in a manner that would make them feel small. But it also goes deeper than that and conveys the feeling that you should never treat yourself in a way that makes you feel small or allow another to do so.

In the chapter on Genshai, Kevin writes about the man who taught him the word—an India-born shopkeeper he met in Vienna named Pravin. Pravin told Kevin that it was his mother who had instilled the principles of Genshai in his life. He remembered one lesson in particular recounting, “If I were to walk by a beggar in the street and casually toss him a coin, I would not be practicing Genshai. But if I knelt down on my knees and looked him in the eye when I placed that coin in his hand, that coin became love. Then and only then, after I had exhibited pure, unconditional brotherly love did I become a true practitioner of Genshai.”

That impacted me!

Kevin is a personal friend of mine and let me just say that he’s the REAL DEAL!  And it’s with great honor that I am excitedly partnering with him on a Joint Venture that includes Ideal LifeVision.  “Finding your Life Purpose through the power of words” is a sub title of both of our businesses.  So hang tight because it won’t be long before you will be hearing more about this!

Would you  like to be part of “Aspire” becoming a New Your Times Best Seller? Kevin has some big special guests from The Secret, including Bob Proctor, and Harvey Mackay on a call this Tuesday, July 20.  Lots of experts want to share their thoughts on how “Aspire” has impacted them.
