Abraham-Hicks:

What can be more exhilarating than to find a dream from the contrast, to fixate on the dream and let it give you pleasure as it grows—then watch Law of Attraction bring it into manifestation? Does it get any better than that? You didn't think so as you made the decision to come forth into these physical bodies. You said, "This is the best time in all eternity for a Creator to Create."

I love that.

As I move forth with this blog's intention, it seems to get easier and easier to live in that kind of state.

What's really cool is how the universe has aligned to meet me there.

Here are just a few of the significant happenings that have manifested to my great delight and surprise:

1. I've found a business partner to take my meditation and wellness business to the next level. It is truly amazing how this has happened. I don't want to fully describe it here now, but I will soon. Suffice it to say that in January when I set out to do this blog and had just a glimmer of an idea, it has transformed in the most amazing way than I could have imagined 3+ months ago. In January, I had no knowledge of the possibility of a partner. Now that idea is so obviously the right one.

2. I got to take a very important journey somewhere that was unplanned and unexpected. Again, seemingly out of nowhere did this happen. It seemed to "fall in my lap."

3. I have a new personal fitness goal. Pictures to follow....later....much later!

So, I say all of this just to illustrate the power of the opening quotation. All I'm doing is staying very consistent on my dream/ my goal. I'm working on it and researching it daily. With that attention, I seem to get a turbo boost from somewhere else...as if what is happening is due to the energy I'm making more than anything else.

I will wrap up by saying one last thing:

Do not neglect the dream. The dream is why we're here.

Mentorship is a gift we give and receive

I am writing on mentorship today as part of a "call for posts" that Holly Hoffman put out to the blogging community.

Basically, we are asked to write anything we'd like on the topic of mentorship. So, here goes it:

Mentors

I have, and have had, a ton of people that I look up to and from whom I have received remarkable wisdom and guidance through the years. I am eternally grateful to all of them.

What I find very striking is the timing of this "call to post" from Holly.

Just today (March 1, 2010), I joined a group of 7 other individuals and a life coach to work for an entire year on making our dreams come true. Certainly, we have our coach that we can all draw from, but then we will also all have each other. We meet via teleconference every 2 weeks for the next year (March 1, 2011). I get to learn from their struggles and triumphs, and they will get to do the same with me. Today was our first meeting, and I could not help but think that perhaps I have a team of "mentors-in-the-making" right in front of me. Wow, pretty cool, huh?

The other aspect of this "interesting timing"is that 2 days from now will mark the 2nd year anniversary of my father's passing. My father, Harry Lewis Marks, was not only a remarkable man and mentor for me, but he was also a mentor for so many people he knew. My mother, brother, and I were all blown away by how many people wrote us letters after his death and told us just how meaningful knowing my father was to them.

Today I celebrate mentorship. Mentorship is a gift we give and receive.
