Greetings!
Did you know that Thanksgiving was established by Abraham Lincoln during the height of the civil war? It's no surprise that one of our most visionary presidents understood the power of appreciation.
This year has been a rough ride for many Americans, and it's no surprise that the mantra of Change and Hope is resonating. More and more I witness that those who are in fear are experiencing more and more difficulty whereas those who are living in positive expectation, are experiencing more light and joy than ever.
And even though giving thanks may seem like a small gesture, it actually is the key to creating abundance. It's not surprising that it is one of the largest tenants of the work I do with women and doesn't surprise me that 2 more women got engaged this last month, and I just found out about another woman who attended the Manifesting Your Beloved 2 Day Intensive a little over a year ago, attributes the work (and the Take Home Course) to having met her partner and having been with him for over a year now.
I do this work largely because when I do it, Source energy flows so powerfully through me, but also, I so appreciate hearing from the voices of the women who have been moved by the work and their success stories, It's always such a boon to me and our staff as well as to all the other women we serve! bella@manifestingyourbeloved.com

How to Actually Enjoy The Holidays with Family
I can't tell you how glad I am that thereisn't some movie this Thanksgiving about some dysfunctional family gathering.
Much as those films can bring laughter, "Gee I'm glad my family isn't that screwed up," I often didn't laugh because the families on the screen seemed saner than mine. Either way, the films often do not offer healthy modeling of the powerful healing that can happen in family gatherings.
For instance, right now I am here in Colorado, with Drew's family. Drew's mom came to pick us up at the airport and brought Mabel Barth, founder of the Listening Post to have lunch there.
Mabel is 100 years old, and one of the liveliest people I have ever met. She reached her hand out to meet me, and with her one working eye, connected to me with more love and presence than most people I meet who are half her age.
For 27 years, The Listening Post has provided a safe space for students of all
ages to express feelings of joy, anger, rejection, failure and confusion.
Practitioners set up tables with a sign, and simply listen to whomever approaches.
Each person is respected and accepted just as they are at the moment,
with the opportunity to discuss options without judgment and without
advice.
At one point the organization had volunteers in over 48 states. Mabel was fascinated with the work I do with women. She leaned in close to me and said, "you know, you can make people feel like a million dollars, just by listening."
I agree whole-heartedly. And it's not something that comes naturally to me. Although I love people, I grew up with a father who didn't like to listen to anyone. The longest conversation I've ever had with him lasted less than 5 minutes. And I've come to realize that it's been a core wound that has helped to shape my life purpose. Having not been seen nor heard truly for who I was growing up, I've learned the power of truly seeing others. And every time I practice the art of listening, miracles abound.
If you've ever had difficulty with family reunions, the main reason is because as children we grow up looking for a sense of validation
from our parents and can contort ourselves into all sorts of
interesting positions in order to try and please them (or displease
them as the case may be.) In both cases, it is very easy to go into unconscious and reactive behavior.
A wonderful tool, to disarm old triggers, is to treat yourself this holiday season to the power of simply listening. Try and see if you can drop all agenda to fix, change, justify, or prove anything. You'll find that your ability to be fully present to each family member allows others to show up as their True selves.
And most importantly, turn an inner ear for your own needs. Make sure you have time to be fully present to your own emotions without judgment, agenda, or the desire to fix, and you'll be pleasantly surprised at how easily your true nature of appreciation and joy can surface as a result.
Happy, gracious, joyful Thanksgiving to you!
