About Me!

I have always wondered what makes people tick…what motivates them to do what they do, say what they say, and act so irrational or heroic or utterly incomprehensible. Where does it all come from, the myriad of emotions, talents, beliefs and creativity?

As a child, I was taught that we were all supposed to believe the same thing, at least as far as religion was concerned, and it seemed so incredibly silly to me, even as a seven-year old, to think that all these different people with their different attitudes, cultures, education, experiences and upbringings would all need to have the same exact beliefs! Why can’t we all just believe what we want as long as we were nice to ourselves and everybody else? And why was Jesus God’s only child? Where does that leave us? Aren’t we all God’s children? And what about all the really good, caring people out there, say, like Gandhi or Abert Schwietzer or my next-door-neighbor’s grandma who taught me how to play piano and cook Polish food? Does God send them all to hell just because they don’t believe what I am told to believe? God didn’t sound like a very pleasant fellow, especially if he made us all different (was this a mistake?) and then decided we should all believe the same thing! Rather provocative thoughts for a seven-year-old. But I wisely kept them to myself.

I was a teenager in the 70’s, the “Age of Aquarius”, the times of the peace sign and anti-war rallies and of course Woodstock, Billy Joel, and Vietnam. Every night there would be footage of the war on the TV news and every night I would run from the room. It was beyond my comprehension that people would do such horrible things to each other and I sure as heck didn’t want to see it. Even moreso, I questioned why people acted the way they did and what the driving forces behind such actions were.

The whole time I was growing up, well at least from about the age of eight or so, my mother was sick. She had MS and I watched her deteriorate through twenty-five years of virtual misery until her death at 73. Why would anyone have to go through that, especially someone who was basically a good person? I had no answers.

At seventeen, in my senior year in high school, I started getting sick, and by nineteen was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease, a chronic, degenerative disease with supposedly no hope of cure or recovery. Following in my mother’s footsteps? Now that I look back I can clearly see that I was following in my mother’s BELIEF SYSTEM footsteps. Anyway the next twenty-five years or so were fairly awful. I tried everything I could come across to get well. Of course we had no computers so access to information was limited. I took buckets full of supplements, tried all kinds of alternative therapies and somehow managed to birth seven wonderful, healthy kids. Five were born at home, the last three without even the aid of a midwife. By that time I had lost faith in doctors, hospitals, and anybody else who tried to tell me what was best for me when they didn’t have a clue themselves.

Since I had managed to acquire a man in my life who was much like my dad: angry, negative, controlling and (unlike my dad) irresponsible to boot, I was pretty much left with raising my kids alone. Well, except that I had that angry, negative influence around which sort of drove me over the edge, until I managed to escape. The whole escape, as I fondly refer to it, was nothing short of a miracle. I mean, how does a woman with seven homeschooled kids, a chronic disease, no money, no place to go, no relatives or help and no resources manage to end a relationship? This was the turning point in my life. I was at the threshold of a new understanding. A whole new belief system was emerging. I was just remotely becoming aware that I had influence over what happens in my life.

Years of surgeries, another unsatisfying relationship, and moving countless times, brought me a little closer to an understanding of the Meaning of Life…or at least my life. Then I discovered meditation which could not be discovered until the appropriate time, which was when my kids were old enough to give me a moment’s peace so I could actually have the time and space to allocate to ME. This whole idea of time to myself was new, enticing, and eventually the doorway to a profound understanding of “what makes people tick”. The following is a brief overview:

Everything comes to us through the most elemental law of physics – LIKE ATTRACTS LIKE! Some people call it the Law of Attraction. It is absolute and has nothing to do with your personality, your religious beliefs, being a “good” or a “bad” person or anything else. No one lives beyond this Law. It is an irrefutable law of the universe.
The Law of Attraction, like all laws, is impartial and impersonal, which means it works when you want it to and also when you don’t want it to.

YOU ARE A CREATOR, AND YOU ARE ALWAYS CREATING WHETHER YOU REALIZE IT OR NOT

Unfortunately, most creations in people’s lives are by default. This is why most people feel their lives are out of control or that things are “happening” to them.

The reason we feel that things are “happening” to us is because we do not understand how the Law of Attraction works. This causes us to reap results, benefits and disadvantages that we do not understand.

The Law of Attraction is irresistible. All natural laws are irresistible. This includes the law of gravity, electricity or any other law that operates with mathematical exactitude. There is no variation. The law works perfectly EVERY time. Only the channel of distribution may be imperfect.

Quantum physics has shown that all matter is simply a certain vibratory rate of energy. Matter is attracted to other matter. We call this the Law of Gravity. All energies will gravitate to other energies of the same or similar vibratory rates. All beliefs and thoughts, especially when attached to or accompanied by a strong emotional current, vibrate at a certain frequency or energy. And things, events, people and ideas that vibrate harmoniously with these thoughts will gravitate to them.

Everything is created through energetic vibration. Sound is vibration. Light is vibration. Matter is vibration. Thought is vibration. Emotion is vibration. Everything is vibration. Anything that vibrates at a specific pattern will attract like vibrations. This works on the chemical, physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level.

It works the same way for positive or creative thought. Whatever you focus your intention on you attract.
And so, if you’re saying “yes” to what you desire, or if you’re saying “no” to it – you are still including it in your thoughts. The end result is that which you really want, you get - and that which you really don’t want you get. The Law of Attraction works for both equally as well.

The important point is this: The more you struggle against something that you do not want, the more you attract it to yourself because you set up resistance to what you want. It can be summed up in this statement - Whatever you resist will persist.

I spent many years creating what I did not want, simply by focusing on it.

Now, I choose to create the life of my dreams, and inspire others to do the same. That is my purpose: to help you create wealth, health, and whatever other good thing floats your boat. Cheers!
