I love the newsletters I receive. Tonight I visited two friends. I was “gabbing” with Pat who was in a rare more than direct mood. When telling her a woeful new injury knee story, she blurted out, “How dumb can you be!” And went on from there. I did not take this lightly. Later, I challenged her about her real intent for losing weight. Then I invited her to walk around het courtyard 3 times. She took the challenge. Our mutual neighbor friend showed up and joined in. The conversation took another drift…towards receiving and letting us care more for him. Later he left to go lok for some jobs. (Pretty good way to follow through on some goals and escape our talk) I send you the following…hope you enjoy.
Manifesting Secrets
Dear Mary,
Gratitude helps in generating abundance in all areas of your life. Doreen Clement gives advice in this issue’s article, and also a VISION BOARD tool (at this link) and a video clip of Dr. John Demartini from “The Secret”.
With a VISION BOARD you can feel gratitude for the future are creating! This is a sure-fire way to attract it rapidly into your life - very powerful! It expands all the feelings of experiencing that reality in the present which makes your subconscious create it’s existence in the here and now to match your vibrational experience.
Gratitude opens your heart and connects you and aligns your vibration to that which you feel grateful for and as such attracts more of the same into your life. The more you value and appreciate something, the more there will be to value and appreciate.
When you feel grateful you get to experience the beautiful qualities of that which you feel grateful for. It connects you to what you love and appreciate which elevates your state. Gratitude is the sweet song of appreciation. It turns an experience, person or event into a gift that is received, for when you appreciate and feel grateful, you literally let the experience/quality in, and you also give to it from your heart. It is a wonderful exchange of positive energies.
I recently saw Dr. John Demartini speak at an event in London (he stars in The Secret movie) and he emphasized the power of gratitude. He as been writing down that which he is grateful for at the end of each day for the last 35 years! And boy does he live a phenomenal life! He was born on Thanksgving day so I guess he’s a patron of gratitude!
Below is a youtube video clip of John Demartini being interviewed:

This issue’s FRE’EBIE is the Aloha Spirit Blessings Booklet. It’s fab and very much in line with the gratitude theme (see below).
A powerful way to have more of ANYTHING in your life is visualization! That’s why this issue’s recommended resource is the VISION BOARD tool (go to this link)Vision Boards are featured in the The Secret documentary and are a proven and effective way to apply the Law of Attraction in your life.
VISION BOARD is an amazing visualization tool that enables you to display pictures of your dreams, affirmations and power words on your computer screen effortlessly. It’s got to be one of the easiest and most fun ways to manifest your dream life.

I found that one of the challenges of creating Vision Boards myself was the time and hassle of finding pictures in magazines, cutting them out and glueing them etc, and then having to do it all again every time I changed a Vision Board or had new goals. That’s why when I discovered this tool I thought “BRILLIANT!”. It was a dream come true. They’ve made it easy and effortless and I can now create my own vision board and have it on my computer when ever I want to look at it and it takes me to high states.
It keeps me focused on my goals and deliciously inspired by displaying them on my computer. You either bring your Vision Board up yourself, or it pop ups as your screensaver.
If ever my energy or mood ever wavers, looking at my vision board gets me right back up there and moves me into massive action!
This is because my “why” is right in front of me on my computer… keeping me focused on my BIG BEAUTIFUL dreams!
If you struggle to stay motivated or are sick of procrastinating…
and if you are looking for a fun and effective way to stay focused and inspired to achieve your goals, check out VISION BOARD

Creating A Gratitude Journal
By Doreene Clement
Dictionary Definition: grate.ful adj. 1 a : appreciative of benefits received: syn. thankful
Today I am grateful for _______________ .
As I write the above line, I wonder, “What is my answer?” My first thought is, “I am grateful for today.” Then I realize there are so many people, places and things for which I am grateful. Everyday the list grows.
Everyday there are things that happen to us, and for us, that make us grateful. Sometimes, we even find, that after the passage of time, we become grateful. Take time today, tomorrow, and the next to think about for what or whom you are grateful. Then, write it down in your journal. Or maybe send a letter or a card, with dates and experiences to that person.
You can start keeping a journal where you date and write in daily, weekly, or monthly about what you are grateful for, why and the circumstances that created the gratitude. This becomes a story and record of your feelings and warm experiences of what you have given, and also what you have received.
You can also create individual gratitude journals for your spouse, your children, parents, a friend, etc., that you journal in for a period of time. You can write about them sharing what you are grateful for about them. Get a new journal to use for this purpose only. Pick a colored pen or several colors. You can express your feelings with certain colors, green for a growth memory, blue for peaceful times, you decide what each color means and note that in the front of the journal. Date each entry and describe events, memories, or thoughts that you have about that person. Describe what they have given you, what you have observed, what you wish for them. Tell them about how grateful you are for them in your life, and why. This becomes a treasured keepsake and a priceless gift.
Telling someone you are grateful for them in your life, for what they have done, for who they are is a very powerful expression of caring and love. Telling a stranger who has given you something, directions, good service, a smile, that you are grateful for what they have done and given you is another form of connection. Spread the idea of gratitude. You may see something on TV or read about someone. Send them an email or letter of appreciation for who they are, what they stand for, or for what they have done.
Today I am grateful for _______________ fill-in this blank with what your are grateful for.
For Example - My self, my children, family, work, future, my recovery, etc.
As I was thinking about what I am grateful for, I of course thought of my many wonderful, dear friends. So, I decided to email and ask what they were grateful for. I asked them if I could also share their responses with you, and here they are.
“Today I am grateful that I get to spend time with my children.”
“Today I am thankful for a generous heart that loves to spill over to others…and is constantly replenished by my beautiful family.”
“Today I am Grateful for the joy of friends. Today I am grateful for the light in the eyes of my friends. Today I am grateful for the roses in my garden. I am so very grateful I met you.”
“Today I am grateful that I can continually forgive myself. I can forgive myself for judging myself harshly when things don’t turn out just the way I was attached to them turning out. I can forgive myself when I am disappointed that I didn’t speak up and say exactly how I felt about a situation. I can forgive myself because when I did speak up, it didn’t come out of my mouth the way my mind thought it would. All in all, I am very grateful that I am me. I wouldn’t want to be anyone else in the whole world…. and that’s gratitude!”
“Today I am grateful for a wife, 4 children and a daughter-in-law who are all working hard to find out what it is their Savior would have them do in life and then do it.”
“Today I am grateful for another experience of realizing that I am, indeed, safe and provided for.”
“I am grateful for days, like today, when my gratitude gallops gleefully ahead of me and I have to skip to keep up with it, instead of haul it behind me like a wagon load of manure, hoping it will carry its own weight - by tomorrow.”
“I am very grateful for the healing work that I do. I work long, hard hours,but I really enjoy helping people feel better. How many people can say that they love their work or feel that they are doing exactly what they are supposed to be doing?”
“Today, I am grateful for a Loving God who nutures me. I am grateful for my 89 year old Mother who has cared for me and is still vibrant, helpful, and alive. I am grateful for my Granddaughter Hayley who holds my hand, trusts me, and I know loves me somewhere in her very special heart. I am grateful for good health which sustains me. I am grateful for my friends and acquaintances who care about me and bring so much joy into my life. And, finally, I am grateful for libraries, and the internet, and transportation which constantly open new vistas in my horizon and let me apreciate this vast world and its infinite knowledge and power available to all those who are curious enough and ambitious enough to embrace them.”
“Today I am grateful for gentle friends, and a loving Heavenly Father.”
“I am grateful for the Divine Connections in my life - My family and friends. We laugh and cry together.With them I feel I belong and am loved. They are my greatest teachers. We validate each other. When depleted I seek them out. They renew my spirit I am blessed. I am also grateful for the roadblocks and failures in my life. They turned out to be valuable lessons that led me to new opportunities and connections I wouldn’t have had otherwise. They presented new Lifepaths.”
“Today I am grateful for all the wonderful people in my life who challenge me to think differently.”
“The scent of freshly cut grass coming through my open windows.”
“Today I am grateful for opening my eyes to see my husband on my side and my pug at my feet. I am grateful to look out my bedroom windows to see another day full of possibility as the sun slowly warms up my sweet backyard alive with quail, doves, hummingbirds, rabbits and all kinds of natures noises. I am grateful to feel my breath as it wanders through my body waking me up. I am grateful that I have one more day to enjoy, and be amazed, and be involved with life. And I am very grateful that I can go through another day full of awe and gratitude.”
“Today, I am grateful for my life, health, and for my mother still being alive.”
“I’m grateful for the support of many, many wonderful women in the community.”
“I am grateful for being able to carry the message that Light and Love is always present and everlasting. I get to do this on a moment to moment daily basis. I am grateful for all the loving people that I am blessed with in my life. I am grateful that the universe provides completely and abundantly. I am grateful to be alive and living full out.”
