My Inspiration

The learning started early for me

I was 9 years old, and the only child to be sent home from sleep away camp. I was so upset about being apart from my parents that I got physically ill. My throat was sore and my fever was soaring. I lasted one night and was sent home. Sleep over at my friends home - sick and sent home. Feeling out of sorts and lost as a teenager, I developed mononucleosis. I learned very early in life that negative emotions can bleed into physical symptoms.

The learning continued

I was in my early 30's jogging with a co-worker, and vividly describing the life I wanted to live. Not married at the time I described my ideal mate (down to the detail of his specific height and hair color), the fact that I wanted to have one child (a girl) and desired to spend my summers at a cottage, very much the way I had spent my summers as a child. I was working at a very busy corporate job at the time, and talked about wanting to have my own business that involved public speaking (a joy of mine) and more time flexibility. I was telling a different story about how I wanted my life to be, which was very different from the life I was currently living.

Can you relate to desiring an experience other than the one you are living?

I realize that I was unconsciously practicing what I now teach - I liked to describe myself as an unconscious competent! I was practicing the Law of Attraction, without really knowing that what I was doing had a name.

My life is now very close to how I had imagined it would be. I am fortunate enough to have a partner who I consider my soul mate, and he even has grey hair and of average height, just as I had intended. I have a beautiful daughter with whom I will spend the majority of the summer at our wonderful year round second home.

I learned at this stage in my life that my thoughts can manifest into reality.

Looking back on my life I can easily see how the various paths I have chosen have led me to teaching the Law of Attraction to others. Becoming a Registered Dietitian helped me to understand how the body works, and obtaining an MBA provided the business background to understand how to run a business. Working for years in the pharmaceutical industry has given me numerous opportunities to present to and teach others (which I discovered a love for), not to mention superb selling skills and a professionalism that one learns when working with a multi-national organization.

My recent years as a consultant have shown me that working for myself resonates well with both me and my family, and has further developed my time management and "self-starter" skills.

I had a keen interest in topics spiritual and relating to the mind/body. Having the opportunity to meet Bob Proctor and to study the Law of Attraction, I instantly recognized that I had found the topic that would allow me to combine the love of the body and mind, and to put to use the business skills I had honed.

I am now living my dream, and I look forward to showing you how you can live yours.
