ABUNDANT LIFE, NO MORE

Source: Associated Press/Dec. 16, 2024

There comes a time when I have to stop all my online work, writing and motivational posts etc... and SPEAK OUT on the things that REALLY matter! And to me, that is the safety of our children...ALL of our children. And that time is now, again! It is insanity that I have to have so many blog posts/articles that reference school shootings. It is just that I find it incomprehensible to just sit by and not say or do anything at all, while innocent lives continue to be lost (and in school no less!)

Did you even hear about this one? A 15-year-old student opened fire inside a study hall at a small Christian school in Wisconsin on Monday, (Dec. 16, 2024) killing a teacher and teenager and prompting a swarm of police officers responding to a second grader’s 911 call. 

There are too many sh**tings in this Country to keep track, but to continue to ignore them and pretend it's not happening is unconscionable.

Sooo many things wrong here:

1. The obvious, is the injury and death of innocent people (children)
2. That a SECOND GRADER had a cell phone and had to use it to call (the police) 911!
Let that sink in! (What are we doing to our children!?)
3. That this teenager had easy access to a weapon
4. That this teenager is so mentally unwell and unhappy that the first option is to take the lives of others?!
5. That G-d and religion can't do sh*t about gun violence.
6. Thoughts and prayers are too little too late.
7. That most people didn't even hear about this incident.
8. That we have accepted this violence as the "norm."
9. The irony that this happened in a 'Christian" school called "Abundant Life."
10. That most people are going to keep scrolling, reading...while victims of gun violence continue to grow in this Country, until one day, it will be too close to your home, children and/or loved ones.

Every SINGLE time there is a school sh**ting, not only does it add to the list of victims of gun violence in this Country, but more and more children suffer from PTSD and the trauma of going to school.

How did we reach a point in this Country where kids have to be FEARFUL of attending school?! Why is this okay?

I don't even know why I bother writing about this anymore. We vote and it doesn't mean anything. We try to pass gun law reform and background checks and other common gun law reform, and the people obsessed with gun ownership, get in a twist over it all.

The conclusion (IMO) is that, in THIS Country, people value their weapons and money more than the safety and mental well-being of our children and that was more than evident during #SandyHook

Until you have been through it, or loved someone who has been through it, you will never understand, how incredibly frightening and traumatic it is for a child (or any person) to live through such unimaginable violence, where you go to school and/or work.

Whatever the solution is, we must DO SOMETHING! Children DESERVE to be SAFE and PROTECTED! Thus far, we have failed too many of them!

High quality nutrition is 
πŸ”‘ and as a brain tumor survivor and living kidney donor, I have had my fair share of health issues, so I am always looking for alternative health options, to stay as healthy and as energetic as possible, especially when it comes to brain health and mental wellness.

I think those two things are something we could all use help with, especially as we start getting older, even without any pre-existing issues. 

When I learned about Nootropics, it was a few years back. However, last year, I learned about a specific brand of Nootropics that supports healthy cognitive function, mental clarity and overall brain health that has Frequency charged nutrition in its products!  It is actually a company that has all the things I was looking for and more! 

This frequency charge drink is going viral and even has a popular actor from one of my favorite soap operas (GH) on board at this company, as well as some top-marketing professionals in the industry, who also believe in these products, wholeheartedly.

Imagine all the goodness of clean nutrition with adaptogenic mushrooms, combined with harmonizing frequencies to help heal the body - mind, body & soul!  Exactly what my brand name motto is: The Power to be Happy: Mind, Body & Soul.   

One of my favorites in this line is a mango-lemonade drink that is formulated with a blend of seven different organic mushrooms, B vitamins, amino acids and 100 mg of caffeine from organic green coffee bean extract. Everything comes together with delicious fruit and citrus flavors to make this lemonade a healthy and tasty treat for your body and mind.

  • Mental Performance

LOOKING FOR THE LIGHT IN TOWER MOMENTS

"Sometimes it’s difficult to be positive, and to be patient or to comprehend the challenges we are faced with, in those "tower moments" of life that make us feel overwhelmed. Those "tower moments" are moments that can feel like everything around you is crumbling, and getting more difficult at every turn, but the key to overcoming these moments, is to make space for more light to enter, to move to a new higher frequency with an upward and forward movement. It is important to always keep moving forward towards that light. ("Nunca para atrΓ‘s como el cangrejo!”) Moving forward is not the same as moving on. You can “move on,” physically, but emotionally, you may not have moved forward. Forward is progress.

It is where we need to go as things change and move in different directions with the ups & downs of life. We need to learn to look for the light and move forward in progress. And that doesn’t mean the “light” they talk about at death. When I refer to the light, I am referring to the light of LIFE, of love, of hope, of motivation, of kindness, of compassion, of happiness, of better days yet to come. It is the light that sparks you from the inside out! 


We all have that "light" within in us, but sometimes we just need that spark or switch turned back on. Often, we forget who we really are supposed to be because we got lost in the chaos of life. It takes conscious effort to look for the things that “light you up,” and bring you joy. It also takes plenty of self-love and personal development to nurture your soul. We are a work in progress.

Ask yourself this? If you treated a project at work or at school with attention, care, and focus to make sure it was successful and turned out well, why wouldn't you do that for yourself? If you are doing it right, when you complete a job, a project or levels in school, you keep going up and forward in progress. You either work towards a goal, good grades, a promotion or different levels of success, so why wouldn't you put in the same or better effort to the ultimate project in your life? YOURSELF!

If you don't put yourself first, why not? Well, maybe you feel stuck...but guess what? When we feel stuck in life, it is because we are not putting in the work. We are not putting in the work to better in our relationships, our jobs, our health, our friendships - none of it. Sometimes our hearts can't accept what the Universe has planned for us but it is our job to We are just letting old patterns of behavior steer the wheel and become complacent with the status quo. Complacency is a killer. That doesn't mean that life has to be perfect to be wonderful. It means, that we learn how to maneuver through those tough tower moments and find something wonderful in the journey. It is possible even in the darkest of days. We are not here on Earth to just get by and complain about the rough moments in our lives. Like the saying goes, "We are here to thrive, not just survive."

And News Flash: no one gets out alive We're not usually here for a long time, (unless you are my grandmother! LOL!) So, we should make every effort to make it the best time possible. Actually, what I have learned, is that we are here on Earth to learn to manipulate energy and become better versions of ourselves. If you are religious, then perhaps that better version is the goal of becoming God like. And if you believe in Source, then you know that we are all God and have that power within us to achieve a higher frequency.

But let me not digress into religion...the bottom line is you have to do what lights you up.

You (and by you, I mean you, me, we,) have to make a conscious effort to look for the things that “light you up,” and bring you joy. Even with all the craziness and frustrations, we go through in life, it is about surrounding yourself with people who make you want to be better and do better. It is about moving away from the dark energies and things that bring you down.  It is about appreciating those people, who genuinely love you and treat you well, who check on you and want to see you succeed in life. There is plenty of good in the world, we just have to look for it! And there is also great abundance in the world, (if only greed and power would take a back seat.) Love, abundance, kindness, it's all there waiting for you, for me, for us!

Looking for the light is about finding “your tribe” and thriving there, whether that be with family, friends, co-workers, neighbors, teammates, and so forth. Having a tribe is about having that support that we all need at one time or another in our lives. And if you don’t like the “tribe” you have, get a new one or find one! Reach out to me and will help you find one.

There will always be some cloudiness, and even some dark days, but it is in that “darkness,” that we must learn to manipulate our Energy, so that we can attract the good, (“the light”) and the higher frequency in life, which IMO, is THE goal. That higher frequency is in reference to a higher spiritual plane, not a physical state. And with that said, our physical state is also an integral part of our journey.

It is true that health is indeed our greatest wealth, and without that we have nothing, which makes it that much more difficult to stay motivated and happy when we are not in good health or not feeling our “best.”

This is why we should try to do everything in our POWER, to be as willing and as healthy as possible to put in the WORK: mind, body & soul.  Feeling good and having a positive mindset is hard work. No one said it would be easy; but it is definitely worth it, when you are able to shift your paradigm - to change your thinking and perspective from what it has always been, that is progress - that is success. It is learning to have a growth mindset over the same old stagnant mindset we have been conditioned with, that says things are the way they are, and that they have to stay that way.



This is not true. We can change our mindset at any time we make the DECISION to do so. We have the POWER! The power to be happy, to be healthy, to be kind, to spread love and happiness and to make every day count.

We are not here on Earth to just survive and get by. IMO, we are here to make a difference, to make a positive impact, somewhere along the course of our lives.

At some point in life, you may have inspired or motivated someone and not even known it. And sometimes, you might even have to “toot your own horn,” to keep you going with self-talk, personal development, daily affirmations or even just coming back to read this blog.

So even if you feel things are crumbling around you or getting more difficult, and those “tower moments,” seem to be growing, remember that we don’t grow or learn when things are easy. We grow when we learn to overcome the obstacles with grace and grit. We learn when we can recognize the lessons, as difficult as some of those may be.

The Earth, Gaia, G-d, Source is shifting us to become better versions of ourselves.

My advice is "do more of what makes you happy every day" and be like a sunflower - always looking for the light, that brings you joy, health and happiness. Stand tall, even if sometimes you may feel like you are wilting. 


It’s all part of the process.  Inhale Love, exhale negativity."

ARE YOU STRUGGLING FINANCIALLY?


Do you often feel like you are struggling to make ends meet
in today's economy? Do you ever wonder why you can’t seem to unlock the vault to true wealth and abundance? Does it seem like you can never catch up to pay your bills, or that somehow the money seems to disappear so that you are struggling again, every month? Do you spend days surfing the internet trying to find ways to earn extra money to supplement your family's income? I know I did!

Maybe it's time for a money mindset reset! 

As a mom, I always want to be able to provide and supplement my family's income and to have the luxury of providing the extras for my kids, (even though they are not little anymore.) That extra money can facilitate opportunities like family vacations or paying for college or even car insurance, which is extremely expensive for young people.

My dedication to the study of the Law of Attraction, as well as my love of personal development teachers like, Jim Rohn and Bob Proctor, combined with wanting to have extra money to splurge on non-necessities and the desire to learn to attract abundance, were some of the reasons why I was attracted to the video course I am sharing with you by money manifestation expert and top earner in the network marketing industry, Megan DeSart.


Meet Your Manifestation Coach!

This course is guided by Megan DeSart, an entrepreneur, Manifestation Business Coach and online course Educator who has dedicated herself to helping people transform their lives through this work. Meagan has a master’s in psychology and is a certified Belief Clearing Practitioner, who worked closely with the late Bob Proctor of "The Secret,” becoming one of his success coaches. She also had the opportunity to be hired as a Tony Robbins coach.



If you are like me, you may automatically hesitate and think to yourself things like, "You don't need more money, you have enough to get by," or "look at all the poor people in the world, you should be grateful for what you have." While it is true that there are other people worse off than you or I, that doesn't mean that you can't live your best life.

You can live in gratitude and still live in abundance. It is just a matter of learning how to stop the negative beliefs we have conditioned with in society about money and learning how to reset our vibration.

                                            

In my honest opinion, I feel that we are here on Earth to thrive and to attract miracles, that will allow us to become the best version of ourselves.

No matter what your income level is, when you experience that feeling of scarcity, it can be super stressful to feel like you don't have enough or that you can't provide for your family the way you would like. Obviously, there are a lot of people in society really struggling but everyone's' ceiling is different. Each one of us has our own perspective of how much wealth is necessary to survive or to thrive. You can own a million-dollar home and feel like you don't have enough. And that is not because you are not working hard enough, or you don't have a master's degree or whatever degree you think you need for success.

It is because you and I have been programmed our whole lives to have a "broke mentality," - by our upbringing, by television, by movies, and even by the friends we may have grown up around. And that program is playing out because you don’t even know how it is happening. 

Here is an analogy for you. If you cook or watch someone else cook, you know that if you have a recipe, but are missing ingredients, or if you use the wrong ingredients, then you will get something completely different or not what you intended. You might think you know part of the recipe for attracting money, (I thought I did, just because of all the Law of Attraction videos I watched,) but if you do not have the money in the bank that you want, then something is missing. There is a simple recipe for attracting money and creating true wealth.

If you are not living the life that you want, on your own terms, then your money vibration blueprint is incomplete. 

 

What does that mean? When your money vibration blueprint is incomplete or out of alignment, you will always struggle with money. 


What I know is that the after-effects of the pandemic has affected so many families' financial situation, especially families that were once in a comfortable economic position. Not only has a left a lot of people feeling financially drained but also emotionally drained as well.

There are those who have been struggling with lack of wealth and abundance their whole lives, but what I have noticed is that since 2020, more and more people are struggling paycheck to paycheck and just can't find a way to earn extra income no matter how hard they try, but more importantly they are struggling with the shift that is going on in the world. Many people, myself included, are feeling like something needs to happen. If people don't learn to change their stagnant mindset to a growth mindset, they will stay stuck and keep missing part of the recipe for true wealth and abundance. This is why this manifestation course is key to changing your view on the way you see things.

  

If you are not taking the vacations, you know you deserve, and you are not living the life that you want, then your money vibration blueprint is incomplete. 

 

What does that mean?


When your money vibration blueprint is incomplete or out of alignment, you will always struggle with money. 

The fact is that in today's world there are SO many ways to make money (especially online,) if you are resourceful, have the right tools and the dedication to make it happen. But the truth is, you also have to have a good relationship with money and be aware that money is energy and not have a scarcity mindset. If you are one of those people who feels like there is never enough money or abundance to go around, I want to share with you just one of the ways you can change that immediately, with the digital wealth building blueprint course.

It's time to learn how to break free from the struggle of just living paycheck to paycheck. The system was created to keep us in and endless loop of struggle, to keep most people just barely surviving. It is also important to note, that you have to believe you are worth the investment to make yourself better and to live a more prosperous and abundant life.
 
The reality is, if you have just enough, you are not likely to complain too much. You’re not likely to demand more. There is not enough pain to motivate you to break out of the system - the matrix we live in. This is how most people live, just getting by. But guess what? Sometimes that is just not enough! Why do we have to sit by and watch other people live their best abundant life, while struggling to make ends meet or not be able to pay for extra gymnastic lessons for our kids or not be able to go on the family vacation you have been dreaming of in your mind?
I am telling you now, we are not here to just survive, we are here to thrive and grow and be our best selves, mind, body & soul and that includes abundance in our lives.
 
You do not have to stay in the struggle, in mediocrity or in the endless financial struggle. You can break free! 
 
Here’s how!

In order to become wealthy, you must do what wealthy people do. 
 
And no, that doesn't mean go out and spend a ton of money. No, I don’t mean filthy rich like flying in private planes or sailing the world in a yacht (although there is nothing with wanting that too, if you like!) I am referring to the everyday millionaire, the person, who has broken out of the system to create true financial freedom.

My definition of "wealthy" (of financial freedom,) is first and foremost, to have good health but also to have the freedom of time to do what you want, when you want and to not be slave to a 9 to 5 job.


“See yourself living in abundance and you will attract it. It always works, it works every time with every person” 
-Bob Proctor

Personal development is key to a growth mindset and to changing your relationship with money. And that all starts with learning to love yourself and - learning to change your frequency to a higher vibration to increase the flow into your life.


In order to change yourself and your situation, you have to do something different! We often cannot change the circumstances around us, but we can change ourselves! What we have at the moment, we have attracted by the person we have become. You have attracted these things because of the person you are. If you change what is inside of you - you can attract abundance, wealth, success, whatever you desire.

When you elevate your vibration, you begin to attract abundance

We can't always blame the marketplace or our circumstances. We have to learn to work on ourselves, and on the right things, regardless of the economic marketplace or the year we are in.

"Success is something you attract by the person you become. Success is not something you pursue, or chase...Success is something you develop, something you become. You attract success." - Jim Rohn

The key to attract treasures (economic treasures, spiritual treasures, financial/social treasures,) is by your own personal development.

Your mind and emotions impact your reality.

TALKING TO CHILDREN ABOUT ACTIVE SHOOTER SITUATIONS

Practically every year, we set a record for the number of school shootings. Kids everywhere – young children and teens alike – are hearing about these incidents on a daily basis. That means it’s up to you as a parent to talk to your kids about active shooter scenarios and what to do during them. 


Being mentally prepared for a dangerous situation increases your child’s likelihood of survival. One of the things that work against a person in an active shooter scenario is the brain’s normalcy bias. In a crisis, a person will freeze because it takes a while for the mind to adjust to the fact that there are gunshots going off. Mental preparation prevents that normalcy bias, so your child reacts to danger in a timelier manner. 


Read on for some tips from Mommy Warrior Lady to help prepare your child – and you – for the worst.


Safety in the Home


If you are going to talk to your kids about what to do in an active shooter situation, the first place to cover is the home. Parents magazine suggests talking to your children about proper gun safety and making sure they do not have access to any firearms you may keep in the house. Furthermore, create a family emergency plan in case anything was to happen in the house.


  • Save emergency contacts both in phones and written down and stored in a location your children can easily access.

  • Put together a first aid kit and have everyone become first aid certified. Also, consider babysitting and CPR courses while you are at it. Knowing how to be prepared for everything helps break bias no matter the emergency situation.

  • Have a designated neighbor your children can go to in case they can’t access you. Come up with specific code words that they can use in dangerous situations.

  • Teach kids never to handle guns without adult supervision. If they see a gun that isn’t secure, have them come get you. Instruct them not to touch the gun ever.


Run, Hide, Fight 


No matter where an active shooting occurs, a person has three options as reactions: run, hide, and fight. Talk to your kids about each option. If there is an active shooter, your child is safest the farther he or she gets from the person with the gun. Teach your kids that their first reaction to hearing gunshots should be to run as far away from the sound as possible. Of course, their safety is likely situational. Sometimes it is safer to hide, especially if there is a secure place to do so, like a panic room. There may not be an escape route, another case in which hiding is a better option than running. The third option, fight, is always the absolute last option. 


Your child’s school also has its own protocol that serves in your child’s best interests and overall safety in the case of an active shooter. Insider points out that while your child should know the run, hide, fight mantra, they should always listen to authority figures at school. Talk to your children about keeping a cool head under stress, evaluating situations before acting, and the importance of following leadership to ensure they make safe decisions in an active shooter situation.


Remember that shootings can happen anywhere from schools to movie theaters to any workplace. While no single security measure or strategy can prevent all workplace violence, adequate employee training and a solid plan for safety can prevent most cases. So, if your child has a job, ask them what preparations their workplace has made for their safety.


It’s not easy talking about this with children. We all wish we lived in a world where our kids didn’t have to fear gun violence. However, the statistics don’t lie. Mass shootings and school shootings are happening all around the country. If your child knows what to do in one of these emergencies, they will have better chances of surviving if it happens in your community.
