You Can Always Change Back, Transformation is Forever

Change versus Transformation, so what's the big difference?

I looked it up in the dictionary and this is what I found
Transformation~ to change the condition of. (the short version).  I don't really think that I agree on that one.  I see change and transformation as two totally different things.

This is the way I see the thing.

Say you have a cake mix.  Open the mix up, pour into a bowl, add milk and eggs and mix it up really well.  Put it into a cake pan, pop it in the oven and bake it.  When you pull it out you have a cake.  The cake can never be the cake mix again, it has Transformed into a cake. Mix a few things in, add some heat and before you know it, transformation is complete.

So transformation is a process not something that just happens one day.  It is a series of events or impressions that little by little change our behaviors and habits.

Changing old behaviors and habits that don't serve you is crucial in order to realize transformation.  If you don't find a way to rid your self of these two simple items, total transformation is going to be a challenge.

The transformation that you experience is a kin to a metomorphosis.  From what I have read a metomorphosis is the act of changing biologically after birth, often changing completely including looks, behaviors and habits.

You will notice as you work on your transformation that people will stop you and say how well you look or that you look really good and it's amazing BECAUSE YOU DO.

When you feel good you put out vibrations on a higher frequency that people are naturally attracted to.  The opposite happens when you aren't feeling so good, if you notice when you "vibrate at a lower frequency" people don't really make eye contact and rarely smile. 

Because we are all made up of vibrations we all pick up on vibrations around us.  That is why we are all attracted to certain people and why you have friends that are closer than others.  All of us vibrate at different levels and that makes it so some of us resonate with certain types of people while the next person may gravitate to a totally different person.

As we all strive for healthier relationships, don't settle for these relationships to be less than what we expect.  Remember the golden rule is, "Treat others AS YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE TREATED".  That means with courtesy and respect.

Master Marketer Attempts to Market

This is the look of Marketing gone wrong.  Notice the upset look on her face?  Let me tell you what's behind that look.

Master Marketer Attempts To Market.

This is an update on my post about the master marketer. Just yesterday the master marketer and I went for a ride into town in the BMW this time (she fills the entire back seat).

She was all relaxed and spread out until I slowed down, she was alerted, I pulled into a driveway and at that time she cam to full attention and started her marketing tactics.

She poked me with her nose, insisting that I roll down the window. I’m going pretty slow because of the car in front of me. Lil’ is in the backseat insistently letting me know the window needs to be down. I roll down the window and creep along slowly, she sticks her head out, smile on face, batting her eye lashes.

I am cracking up because I know she is going to be disappointed as I drive up to the mailboxes at the post office and put the mail in the slot and drive off. She sat in stunned silence staring at me in the rear view mirror wondering what went wrong.  Her face was something like the one above.


So you see, even a master at marketing can get it wrong sometimes but if you don’t try you will never know what riches await you.  This is the look on her face when her marketing has been successful.  You see the difference?  It's written all over her face how she feels

A Master Marketer

This is the face of a Master Marketer.  No, I am not insane, let me explain. 

The other day I took off in Gordon's truck and the furry girl wanted to come.  I was running various errands around town, usually she is with Gordon in the truck running errands but that day it was just the girls.

The first thing I noticed was that we were going to need some gas so I stopped at the gas station.  At the moment I pulled up to the pump Lil' started poking me with her cold wet nose.  I knew she wanted something so I looked back at her.  She didn't say a word but she didn't have any problem letting me know she wanted the back window down.

The attendant came over to pump my gas and she sat there so pretty waiting to be noticed, at full attention with the tip of her tail giving a little wag.  I was watching her "marketing technique" and thought she was crazy, but then I had no idea at this point that she had friends all over town.

She wasn't getting the attention she wanted so she gave a little yelp.  the person pumping the gas knew her name and gave her the treat she was marketing for.  She quickly ate the treat, I couldn't believe what happened next, she was actually trying to convince her friend that she needed another treat.  I assured him that wasn't true and no more treats were necessary.

That chore being done we headed off to the bank.  I pulled up to the drive thru and again was being poked by the wet cold nose, by this time I knew the drill.  I rolled down the back window and she started her marketing once again.

Her eyes had the sweetest, softest look and she was batting her 3 inch eye lashes at her friend, her mouth was open just enough to see her soft pink tongue and her bottom lip was pulled down so you could see her teeth (that's how she smiles).

Once again I found that she had a friend that knew her by name and knew what she wanted and sent a treat out to her that she devoured (I was happy this treat was smaller than at the gas station).

We were off again to finish up our errands and on the way home, I decided to stop and get a coffee, you guessed it the drive thru window.

Once again, the nose pokes, the window rolled down, sweet look on her face, full attention, little tail wag and sure enough here came the treat.

Lesson learned!  I had my marketing lesson for the day from a place that I wouldn't have imagined.  This is what I learned.

Never once did Lilee think that she was NOT going to get a treat.

She used her most winning personality and put a smile on her face.

She gave these people what they were looking for, a cute happy face and she made them smile. She provided a service and she was rewarded in return.

She used the same technique each time, just adjusting slightly depending on who she was marketing to.  I also notice that the only person she gave a yelp to was a male.  She never did make a sound when she was marketing to women and yet she got the same results.

Not only did I get my errands done that day, I learned a valuable lesson in it's simplest form and this is how I interpreted the lessons into human form.

Have a positive attitude
Have a happy disposition and a smile
provide a service
Ask for what you want
stick to the system that works for you.
Make slight adjustments depending on who you are marketing

Just six little things that you have the power to achieve could make you a Master Marketer too, just like Lil'.

Leave the Past where it is, Come into the Present

I noticed last month how past events can affect you even years after they happen.

We were in a hotel room in Stockton California after a busy day at breakthroughs we were happy to be back in the quiet of our room.
I was so exhausted that I think I beat Gordon to "slumberland" which is unusual, he can sleep at the drop of  a hat not matter where he is.
So I doze off and suddenly I am awake, there is a rumbling noise that scared me.  I doze off and it happens again within 5 minutes.

The second time it happened I realized that my brain obviously knew I was in California.  I grew up in Southern California and was in the huge earthquake in the mid 70's. 
The rumbling sound was the same sound that the earthquakes make.  I finally realized that the people staying in the room above us were opening up their sliding glass door and going out onto the deck.

What I find so amazing is that it has been at least 35 years since I have been in a big earthquake but still it is in my brain, even while I was sleeping.

So past events affect our sub-concious thoughts and I found that interesting.  If past events even affect our sub-concious can you imagine how they can take control of our concious thoughts? 
We are who we are because of past events in our life.  The hard thing to do is to not let those past events alter the course of our life today.

My surprise is that my sub-concious actually remembered instantaneously the fear and tension that was all around me over 35 years ago.  Amazing how fast my brain related the noise to something that frightened me as a child even while I was sleeping.

Don't be so hard on yourself, change takes time and past events want to keep you in their shackles, those same past events can keep us from doing the things that our heart desires us to do.

Work through the fear and have the courage to face the uncertainty becasue the more you work through these past events the less of an effect they will have on you.

If the past event requires forgiveness then you need to find it in your heart to forgive so that you can start to heal.  Use the past events as education not a scale of how you are going to live your life.  Take the lesson out and leave the pain where it belongs, outside where it can't hurt you.

It's Complicated, or Is It?

Complications in life happen, there is no avoiding it.  So how do you handle complications when they come into your life?  Sometimes they feel like a mountain looming high and mighty before us.  Our feelings compound the complications. 

Have you ever noticed that something that is a big deal to one person is barely felt by someone else?  It is all in how we perceive  and we seem to let our feelings in there somewhere and it tweaks our perception just a little.  It doesn't take much to change good thoughts to bad.

Gossip is just a form of spreading someones perspective.  Others listen and before they know it they are adapting new thoughts and changing their perspective.

We get asked all of the time how we manage to keep the negative out.  It takes a certain amount of skill and you have to set out to change and make changes so the change can be realized.  We had to litterally make a list of people we know and eliminate people that were not positive or that fed off of other peoples tribulations, addicted to their drama.  Spending less time with people that are victims in life and more time with those who are victorious.

It changs your life when you realize that this daunting task really isn't that hard at all.  We feel better and more positive since we have managed who we associate with better.

All it takes is just one tweak of perspective and you could be on the road to a more positive life.  Because the options are as endless as the possibilities.

The Support of a Hand

As I walked through the park the other day I noticed an elderly woman sitting quietly on one of the park benches next to the swing sets.


She was sitting very quietly with her head bowed, looking very intently at her hands.  She didn't move and I was concerned that something was wrong, so I approached her and sat down next to her and said,

"I didn't mean to disturb you, but you were just sitting here staring at your hands and I wanted to make sure you were OK."

"Have you ever looked at your hands," she asked. "I mean really looked at your hands?"
I slowly opened my hands and stared down at them. I turned them over, palms up and then palms down. No, I guess I had never really looked at my hands as I tried to figure out the point she was making.

The woman smiled and related this story:

"Stop and think for a moment about the hands you have, how they have served you well throughout your years. These hands, though wrinkled shriveled and weak have been the tools I have used all my life to reach out and grab and embrace life..."

"They braced and caught my fall when as a toddler I crashed upon the floor."

"They put food in my mouth and clothes on my back. As a child, my mother taught me to fold them in prayer. They tied my shoes and pulled on my boots. They held my husband and wiped my tears when he went off to war."

"They have been dirty, scraped and raw, swollen and bent. They were uneasy and clumsy when I tried to hold my newborn son. Decorated with my wedding band they showed the world that I was married and loved someone special."
"They wrote my letters to him and trembled and shook when I buried my parents and spouse."

"They have held my children and grandchildren, consoled neighbors, and shook in fists of anger when I didn't understand."
"They have covered my face, combed my hair, and washed and cleansed the rest of my body. They have been sticky and wet, bent and broken, dried and raw. And to this day when not much of anything else of me works real well these hands hold me up, lay me down, and again continue to fold in prayer."

These hands are the mark of where I've been and the ruggedness of life."


Have you looked at your hands and been thankful that they have supported many of your activities throughout life?  Are your hands something that you take for granted?  Even though you haven't paid much attention to them, they don't quit being supportive.


Be a hand in someone else's life, supportive, strong, soft, understanding, because many people hunger for understanding and support, they need strength but also a soft place to land.


Be that hand.

Seeking Wisdom

Seeking Knowledge and Wisdom

In order to have the life you want it is necessary to seek wisdom and knowledge. Without these then there is no light to follow and no growth can be attained.

Wisdom does not come in the form of a newspaper or the evening news. Wisdom comes from the ability to watch, listen and experience and to take note of each sensory. The media outlets just bombard us with negative junk that is not necessarily true.

Reading and listening to books and recordings that will bring about positive change in your life and help you to understand other people is the wisdom that will make your life fulfilling and worth living.

Making choices and moving forward. You can not change the past but you can sure improve your future by making a choice to change.

Select your friends with care, you are who your friends are. Their opinions and habits are shared with you. Look around, if your friends are perpetually making poor decisions, that will also reflect on you because of your association.

Choose to associate with people who you admire and respect. If you hang with a pigeon you will be destined to always be looking for a hand out. If you hang with eagles you will learn to soar.

If you only counsel with your self you can only draw conclusions from your own experience, when you counsel with the wise you will include their experience and that could open up a whole new world to you.

If you are the smartest and most fit person in your group of peers, then you need to add some people that are "better" than you, more fit, wealthier, etc. because these are the people that will make you reach higher and want to do more in life.

Be wise and serve others, by having a servants heart you will realize a satisfaction that can never happen when only serving your self. People who serve are popular and are wealthy beyond our monetary standards. As you serve others, their wisdom will be shared with you. The person that serves the most grows the fastest.

Develop a servants heart and do not be distressed when you need help and there no one there, but be thankful when you can help. Give a helping hand with no expectations of every receiving anything in return.

Form a servants heart

Seek wise counsel

Choose your friends with care

Just by doing these three simple things and making a choice to change you could transform your life into a thing of wonder.

In times of distress life just seems like it is going to be a very long ride. Seeking change and transforming the way you think will cause you to consider that maybe life is way to short and times-a-wasting. We only have so much time and wasting one minute of it is a sin. We are on a count down from the moment we are born.
