Welcome to 2011 and what a fantastic new year we are going to have. Write it down, I am setting the intent for a happy, healthy and prosperous new year so please join me by setting the intent for your life also.

I sat last night and thought about all of the wonderful things that I have to be thankful for.  Sometimes we forget how many blessings and miracles we receive daily because they are not all big and obvious but I definitely feel blessed even on the challenging days. I am no different than you, I have those days of challenge also. 

We are currently functioning in human bodies and they are often challenged, either physically, mentally or emotionally. Have gratitude for the healthy times and know that you are being blessed and have patience with your body when it is not as strong and needing more attention. Those are the times for us to demonstrate self love and compassion. Ask your angels for strength and healing during those times. We forget how powerful our prayers are for all aspects of our life and our angels and guides hear our needs through those very prayers. 

I am excited to announce that I have a new updated website that just came online and I invite you to visit us at  www.Lindadrakeconsulting.com.

Things are easily accessed and updated regularly. We will be continuing to expand in an effort to present you with even more knowledge of our work and Abraham's teachings, as well as that of others.

The New Year brings a new Radio show for us.

Beginning January 2, 2011 at 3 pm central time, Abraham and I will have our own radio show Messages of Empowerment with Linda and Abraham at www.blogtalkradio.com and we will return every Sunday at that same time to continue presenting their messages. We will also be co-hosting with Vaishali the hour prior to our show on the same station at 2pm central time in which Abraham answers call-in questions. They love to answer your questions whether of global or personal nature. I will be a part of the You Are What You Love network. The call in instructions will be provided when you go to www.blogtalkradio.com and look for You Are What You Love radio group or www.Purplev.com.

If you miss a show they will be archived on my website one week after the live show.

I will share with you a quick story :

Living proof that intention and manifestation do work.

If you have followed Abraham's teachings, you are aware of how powerful we are at manifesting what we set the intent for, both positive and negative.  For the past year my husband Pat has been consciously working with Abraham's teachings about intent. What many of you do not understand is that there is a difference between wishing for something and manifesting it.

In working with Spirit, I am called to spend about 50% of the year (some years more) traveling around the country in an effort to bring messages of healing and empowerment to more people. My husband is the support system that makes this possible.

 I present the messages of the Abraham group through our teaching, motivational speaking, private sessions as a life path healer and as a channel for Abraham's messages.

Abraham directs the schedule of our events and travel, as even they practice manifesting opportunities for teaching and healing. I still have some choice, yet they are quite persistent in their directions. 

As you can imagine traveling this much can be exhausting, so about 3 years ago we purchased a motor home to ease the stress when we can.  We love traveling in this way as it gives us time together and our dog Scooter can also go with us. I typically travel with so many teaching tools, books and necessary stuff for 4-8 week trips that my husband quickly discovered that eventually we would have to move up to a bigger bus.

In March of this year, I shared with him a dream that I'd had about us pulling our motor home up beside a much bigger one and quickly moving our belonging into the new one.  We laughed as he asked me if we were stealing it.

That dream set him to thinking about Abraham's teachings about setting the intent for what you desire and what he wanted to manifest for us.  Pat started doing intensive research into the brands, models and features of different busses. He began envisioning what we needed and which model would work best for us. He eventually decided on all of the details that he wanted on our new bus.

Pat worked on setting this intent for months, keeping his dream bus posted on a visionary board in front of him each day and continually focusing on this intent. He joined the Tiffin owners club to talk with other owners of the particular brand that he wanted. He even began preparing for this financially, as he began budgeting and paying off our small debts so that financing would be easier for us.  I know it sounds obsessive but wait until you hear what happened.

 He was actively working with Abraham's teachings and enjoying it. My husband is a logical Virgo personality type so creating a plan worked well for him but he had never tried manifesting something this big.  He wasn't asking for a new one as he was being reasonable as to what we could afford so that made the search considerably harder, thus requiring him to learn patience.  

After 6 months of working with this plan we were  completing a 6 week trip through New Mexico, Colorado and Arizona when we  stopped in Phoenix to visit our daughter. Pat was checking internet sites for this bus of his dreams, as he regularly did because he trusted that it was coming. He just wasn't sure of the timing.  Before we left Texas I had told Pat to pack the registration papers for our Motor home as I had a "feeling". He has learned to trust my "feelings" I saw the "feeling thing" as part of the manifestation process.

There it was! It was listed at a dealership only a couple of miles from the RV park we were staying in. The exact bus that he had set the intent for. Even we were shocked at the accuracy. We went over his very specific manifestation list, checking every detail that he wanted. Miraculously there it was, the brand, year model, body and interior colors, all of the features he had set the intent for were right there, even a built-in desk for my work, which is a feature that is next to impossible to find. Our dream bus had just arrived as a trade in and the dealership was having a big sale. Things couldn't have been more perfect. We pulled the old bus up next to our new bus and the transfer of our belongings between busses happened just as I had seen it. And we did not have to steal it.

Even though we both knew the power of intent, we couldn't believe what he had manifested. The timing was perfect as we were returning home from a 6-week trip to repack and take off for an 8-week trip to the east coast.

We both learned a great lesson about setting the intent for what we desire in life and doing the work to manifest it. Thank you Abraham for your teachings and thank you God for supporting our intent. I thank my husband Pat for doing all of the hard work to make it happen.  I also want to thank each of you for the financial support you provide me through our sessions and workshops so that I can continue to do this work.

Our dream bus has already worked out great for my work, as I am able to keep up with my writing, answering the hundreds of emails that I receive each week and even fit in phone sessions, all while Pat is driving us down the road. I am very blessed in so many ways. 

Hopefully we will find some time for rest and fun adventures in our new bus but at this point Abraham is planning a busy schedule for next year so we will just have to squeeze the fun in between events.

I hope you will use this example to manifest something just as amazing for your life this year.
