Dear ,
Last week I was listening to an interview with Sonia Choquette that I found really interesting. A third generation intuitive and prolific writer, her books have sold over a million copies worldwide including her NY Times Bestseller The Answer Is Simple.... Love Yourself, Live Your Spirit.
She is one of the rare individuals who has not struggled with the issue of trusting in the universe or her "sixth sense". She was raised by a mother who told her that she had to depend on spirit. To her mother, a Romanian who was imprisoned in a concentration camp in WWII, Spirit was all there was. It was Spirit or Death. This is what was instilled in her very young, and so of course, Sonia chose Spirit. She never doubted that she would get what she wanted, that she would be taken care of and that things would always work out for her.
And they have.
She tells an interesting story that I thought I'd share this week . . .

"If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you"
~Gospel of Thomas
Our only responsibility, Sonia says, is to share our gifts and talents with the world.
We want to know that we can make a living as an artist before picking up the paintbrush. We want to know our book is going to be a best seller before we write the book. We want to know that we will have financial security before we decide to pursue the career closest to our heart.
We want security. We want a guarantee.
But, she says, it is not our job to know the outcome before we begin. Our only job is to show up and share our gifts and talents to the best of our ability.
This is our only responsibility.
She shares a story of having written a book and having to go to book signings where no one would attend. One day she is at a book signing where only one man shows up. He is a homeless man she describes as "smelly". Her music accompanist begins to pack up to leave and Sonia asks her "Where are you going? We can't leave. We have an audience." Her accompanist looks at the homeless man and then back at her, and says "Who, Him? " And Sonia says, "Yes, Him! He showed up. We have an audience. We aren't going anywhere!"
Together, the two of them make the best of it and along with the homeless man end up having a great evening. There is dance and play and reading and at the end of the evening, Sonia can't believe she spent the evening performing for one homeless man who would never read her book. But at the end of the night, she is content that she fulfilled her only job which was to share her gifts and talents to the best of her ability.
Four years later, the owner of this bookstore gets a call from The Hay House. The Hay House is looking for new authors and wants to know if this bookstore owner has any suggestions. The woman remembers Sonia Choquette and what she did that evening for the homeless man and recommends her to The Hay House.
Sonia Choquette becomes a Hay House author and travels the world many times over - first class - going to book signings, sharing her gifts and talents, and speaking to people all over the world.
This happened because one evening when she didn't really feel like it, Sonia stayed committed to showing up for her success and sharing her gifts and talents freely.
We never know what the results or the reach of our actions are going to be. Sometimes we can't know before taking the action, what might open up for us. Sometimes we think something is going to lead one place but ends up directing us somewhere else entirely, but better. Sometimes nothing happens externally but we get closer to becoming the person we want to be.
The question is, are we willing to show up to find out? Are we willing to share our gifts and talents with the world, freely? Even when we can't be assured of the outcome? Even when we are self-conscious? Even when we feel like a fraud? Even when there is only one person in the room?
. . . Let's do it.

BRAD YATES
If you want to get rid of any emotional barriers that stand in the way between you and what you want, EFT is one of the quickest routes to "freedom".
As Brad says, "It's an abundant universe; a limitless universe and the extent to which we are not experiencing that which we say we want in our life is the extent to which we are resisting it. That resistance comes from our thoughts, or our limiting beliefs and they actually show up as blocks in our energy system. Through tapping on the meridian points, we can actually clear those blocks and experience freedom." He affectionately calls EFT "Mental Floss".
If you struggle with beliefs around money and want to change them, he has a very powerful program he developed with Joe Vitale, from the movie The Secret. The program is called Money Beyond Belief.
You can read more about it here ==> http://budurl.com/bradyatesmbbIf you have struggled with weight loss or body image, he developed a program on this as well. It's called (not surprisingly) Body Beyond Belief.
Find out about it here ==> http://budurl.com/bradyatesbbbALSO, Brad came out with a new program this year called Confidence Beyond Belief.On this one he partners with Master Hypnotist, Steve G. Jones and together they combine their best talents to put forth a program that promises to positively boost your confidence level (at a minimal cost)!
I'm a fan of Brad's and highly recommend any and all of his programs.
