Gratitude is the art of receiving, and is typically thought of only when we have received a gift… or when we give one. Who doesn’t want to receive gratitude for a gift when we have taken our time to choose something for someone special? It matters not if the gift is of our time, for example to assist a neighbor in planting the spring
flowers together by the mailboxes, or if it is purchased from the most valuable collection in the most expensive store. A gift is a gift and learning how to receive it enriches our lives by teaching us how to graciously continue to give. Have something to share.
Most do not realize that one of the greatest valleys that create “scarcity” in our lives is not recognizing the mountain we must climb. Climbing that mountain, to gratitude, wealth, riches and prosperity begins with one small step. It is really just learning how to graciously receive. So how do we learn how to graciously receive? When do we learn this graceful move and who are our BEST teachers?
Receiving anything graciously comes from learning how to accept any gift. As young children we were ‘taught’ which gifts we could receive. We were taught by our parents and caregivers to accept the gift of their love. It may have not always looked like they knew what “love” message they were actually sending, and this is because their “teachers”, probably didn’t know either. However, the things we were taught, directly impact how we receive. How graciously we receive, with gratitude, is a mirror image of how we think of ourselves. These messages may be so subtle we miss them day to day. As a result, we don’t know what we deserve. We all deserve THIS!
Our idea of deserving was reinforced as we grew up. We may have not recognized that we all deserved the love of our parents and family. We ALL deserved a world that is fun and fair. But, often it isn’t! Some of us may have a memory of not getting as many Valentine’s in our box as someone else or not winning the
ribbon in a race, even though there was a tie at the finish line. It was at that moment when some of us decided that we weren’t worthy. The motion picture began to roll in our heads. The title of the movie “I am not Worthy.” This allowed us to discount ourselves, pushing off compliments, and learning very quickly not to receive, with gratitude, what is often right in front of us! Have you refused to receive any of your gifts?
Gratitude, lives within each of us and some name gratitude with actions, and some with ‘mind’ pictures. Being truly grateful is learning to accept all the good that comes to us. At the heart of gratitude is how we have learned to receive, even if we had to learn it all over again as adults.
Those who “live” gratitude might use some of the following actions:
Those who “live” gratitude might use these ‘mind pictures’:
Show your gratitude. Value all gifts received. Let those around you hear your gratitude, because if it remains silent, it is lost forever! You have much to be thankful for. Listing at least 5 things you are thankful for each day will allow you to begin to express your gratitude in a very simple way. Can’t sleep? Read them to yourself as you turn off the light, (Another thing to be thankful for!), tuck yourself in and close your eyes peacefully to rest every night.
No matter what you experience, make sure gratitude is a part of your life each and every day. Without it smiles are not shared and love is not manifested.
QUOTE FROM THE TOTE: “ Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward is a step forward is a step toward achieving something bigger and better than your current situation” ~ Brian Tracy
HEALTHY HABIT: Close your eyes and take a long slow sniff of the food that has been placed before you. As you breathe in the aromas, let them bathe your senses and remind you that gratitude comes in many forms… and many aromas.
WEALTH WALLET: Gas prices are promised to rise to levels that we as the general public challenged as the worst! Don’t let it get you! Fill your car and don’t let your tank get below 3/4! Each time you fill up it will not cost as much! Now, let your gratitude shine through!
VALUE VAULT: Measure your VALUE on the gratitude that comes to you each day!

Is Gratitude GONE Already???
This is the time of the year when the sweet, delicious aroma and the radiant color of gratitude seems to have faded like the fragrant buttery perfume of the holiday dinner rolls and the twinkling lights from last year’s Christmas tree. Funny that gift giving seems to take gratitude right out of us. In years past, I was reluctant to admit that almost a month after Christmas (sometimes longer depending on when the holiday gift was actually given) I had not written one thank you note. Working at home and yet, I had so much to be thankful for this year!
“Written!!” You exclaim…. Yes written. You know, you purchase a card or a package of cards at the store with the words, “Thank You” or “ Thank You for the gift”, printed somewhere on the inside or the outside? Find a nice pen and about 10 uninterrupted minutes and you have all you need. That is except you must remember what was given and by whom. This is why it is much better to do this as the gifts come in, that way by the third week of January, they are all done and you can move on to other forms of gratitude! I like being thankful for those from your past to your newest business associate. Gratitude has no boundaries!
I recently read a story of another person who had decided to give 365 thank you notes in a year. Stories like this always make me think that I am not only “Too Blessed to be Stressed”, but I am one of the most fortunate people on this planet. I have all the necessities and on top of that, I have businesses, yes, businesses that allow me to make money from home, providing a debt proof lifestyle with financial freedom! Always when I thank someone, it comes back to me multiplied! Clients, Mentees, Business Associates, it doesn’t matter, when I thank them, more business comes my way. You will never know ALL that a Thank You note can do for the person you send it to!
It’s been a while since you have written one? Let me suggest a simple easy format.
Choose a card. An email is not the same. You can always be grateful on email, but getting real ‘snail’ mail is very special. I always open the card envelopes first, don’t you? They will too.
No matter what, make sure gratitude is a part of your life each and every day. Without it smiles are not shared and love is not manifested.

QUOTE FROM THE TOTE: “Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.” ~ William Arthur Ward
HEALTHY HABIT: Does feeling guilty about the cheesecake with strawberries or that cookie that was left alone in the jar make you feel guilty? If it does, try sharing it the next time. You will feel better about that indulgence, and you can better recognize all the rest of the good food choices you made during the week! Try PURE Energy!
WEALTH WALLET: Have you made plans for Christmas 2012 yet? (Most people have no idea how to pay off the Christmas from 2011! Buy putting away as little as $25/month will net you $300 to spend next Christmas. How to do it? Only one less coffee each week and you will have a very nice holiday season this year!
VALUE VAULT: What do you consider your VALUE? What do you measure it on?

Lost Chapters: Thoughts Are REAL Things!
The Lost Chapters to Wealth are the hottest new way to help you and yours, internalize at the cellular level, the wisdom of Napoleon Hill and other wealth creators.
Most don’t pick up the wisdom of wealth, especially in books any more. Some will download a copy into their computer, a reader or their phone, but most of this incredible wisdom has been passed on to only the very rich. Instead of feeling upset that the rich keep getting richer, why not join them? Convert your very powerful thoughts in to very REAL wealth, riches, prosperity and things! Pick this up and expand who you were made to be. Make yourself proud of what you can do!!
This Lost Chapter on Wealth, is based on the following acronym.
(You may not remember what that is, but I have found everything is easier to learn with an acronym!)
T – The Power That Signals Success is strongest when mixed with definiteness of purpose persistence and a burning desire. Riches and wealth come to those who think and act.
H – How Do YOU Make Life Say YES? Constantly intensifying your desire will bring you what you want. Determination is the key once you know what you desire. Say what you mean and mean what you say!
O – Ordinary Desire will not do! An ordinary desire on ice will stay frozen in time. Ignite your desire! “YOUR DESIRE ON FIRE” will surprise you and make you successful! Define your DESIRE!
U – Until You Succeed!! That is how long you must think, & act, & think, & act again. How much do you want your desired riches, your desired wealth, your desired prosperity??
G – Get BULLDOG Determination! Get a picture in your mind of what this looks like. Visit a pet store and try to take away the bulldog’s blanket. Plan to spend some time, this will take a while. Take the lesson learned from the bulldog with you. It will strengthen you.
H – Have Persistence! Keep your mind alert. Understand that doing 5 things towards your goal every day. All you do will get you where you want to be. This is the definition of persistence.
T – Thoughts Can Be Transmitted into material rewards. Riches will begin very subtly. Once the riches start, however, they will come in such abundance, you will wonder where they were hiding!
S – SOON! This is not the time to quit. “Sooner or Later” is not the time to quit either. There is no time on your watch, phone, calendar or day-timer that is the right time to quit!
A – After Weeks…. There is more time for thought and action. No, it is still not the time to quit. Reflection and Gratitude will begin to take hold.
R – Riches Are Closer Than YOU think. Understand that you will be completing some type of honest work in order to receive your reward. It may not come as you expect, so stay open and see what transpires.
E – Expert Council will bring you more advanced ideas and thoughts. It will help you stay focused because you will hear and see someone speaking to you. (Even better when written down!) Get your expert council.
T – The Formation of A Single IDEA has made many richer. What is YOUR great, new, idea? Do you realize that the best of anything, book, story, music, lesson, message, cookie, etc. has yet to be created, written or produced?
H – How Hard Will The Going Get? Does it matter? The payoff will bring you more than you bargained for in the first place. Nothing will seem easier once you see all that you can do!
I – In YOUR Own Mind!! What can you bring to the world? You must not leave this world without delivering your special gift. This idea will produce personal growth, income, wealth, abundance and prosperity.
N – Never STOP! Even when you hear NO! Usually when someone says No, it is because they really don’t KNOW. Very few turn down riches when they understand what is really being offered!
G – Gifts of GRATITUDE!! What gifts of gratitude do you give each day? You will not be able to be successful or satisfied without being grateful! How will gratitude change your life? More on how to expand your riches from the gratitude you are bringing into your life.
S – See YOUR Destiny! This is the key. Start with the end in mind and let the universe fill in the rest! Go ahead and test the principles of wealth to see what they will bring you! It is guaranteed to be far more than you dreamed of!

QUOTE FROM THE TOTE: “Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it will achieve.” ~ Napoleon Hill
This journey started for me over 11+ years ago. I was introduced to the habit of reading from the “Masters of Wealth” and listening to “Masters of Wisdom” for 30 minutes every day. I experienced phenomenal personal growth in a very short period of time that continues today.

If you have earned more than $1500 in a year, you are wealthier than about 80% of the world’s population. Are you Wealthy? Are you filled with Gratitude? Wealth mentoring & strategies to build your wealth are at your fingertips.

It’s that time of year. The nights are cooler and the sugars in the leaves on the trees are at their highest. As this process proceeds, we are magnificently reminded that the energy of the earth once again is shifting. It is a sort-of colorful hunkering down of the foliage of the earth. A ‘tucking in’ for a long winter nap before spring awakens the seedlings and they rise from the earth once again. Raking in money with Network Marketing happens by following the map to the Abundance Archway. Most would agree, less REALLY IS MORE, especially if you have to rake all those leaves! Wouldn’t you rather be working at home?
Network Marketing provides everyone involved with an opportunity for abundance that has yet to be matched in any other industry. Most who realize this, have joined at least one MLM in their past, some secretly. Many more have made an abundance of money with more than one MLM. How do we build a business in abundance? The MLM opportunity or business venture you have joined, probably does not guarantee their “vehicle” will take you to Abundance Archway. However, how you manage your mind will determine where your vehicle will take you. Where is your vehicle taking you? Do you have the map to Abundance Archway? If you live on Scarcity Street in the city of “Scar-city”, that pile of leaves doesn’t look that large, but what you don’t know is your mindset is blocking your driveway and the wind is blowing your map right out of the window! Scar-city is where there are more leaves than you will ever be able to rake, no matter how many prospects you speak with, or how many conferences you attend. Are you in the neighborhood of Scar-city where you can see all your friends on Facebook or can you see the Abundance Archway? All the roads in “Scar-city” are very well traveled and have more pot holes and pit stops than a US interstate highway!
If you are new to Network Marketing, a hearty Welcome! If you have years of experience, I would like to welcome you also. While some have spent a few minutes dodging the pot holes on their way out of Scar-city, others have moved into one of the pit stops, without their map, thinking Abundance Archway is too far to reach, at least today.
I would like to challenge you. This blog is being designed to assist you in discovering some of the reasons why the pot holes are where they are and why the pit stops look so inviting. Some get so paralyzed by all the leaves and the constant drone from the Dream-stealers that they miss the fact that they are still on Scarcity Street in the city of “Scar-city”! No matter what you have invested, no matter what you ‘believe’ someone owes you from Network Marketing or your MLM; you are in the right place! Stop by and visit this blog regularly for a refreshing trip out of Scar-city and on to the Abundance Archway! We will be taking this journey together.
We will be going through a series of learning activities to give you food for thought about Scar-city, getting a leaf blower, focus on racking in money with Network Marketing, and best of all, how to manage your mind to get you using the map to the Abundance Archway. If you would like to work with me personally, get ahead start!
I have my map, do you have yours? Pack your bags! YOUR journey begins!!
QUOTE FROM THE TOTE: “When you are grateful fear disappears and abundance appears.” ~ Anthony Robbins
CREATING WEALTH is like a box of chocolates. There are many wealth creating ventures online and some are honest, having integrity and will deliver what they say. Others, well, not so much. How will you know which business venture options are which? Which one is the best to work at home? What do you do if you find one that is, in the “well, not so much” category? (We’ll save that for later!)
BEAUTIFULLY boxed chocol
ates are available from mid –fall until after Mother’s Day. They are a great gift if you are sure that the one receiving the gift really wants them or you have absolutely no other options. The chocolates look all the same, nestled in their little white paper cups, homey and separated nicely from the others. There could be nougats, covered cherries, chocolates with nuts and sometimes coconut bathed in smooth chocolate. Mostly they look pretty much the same. The ones with nuts may be a little more distinguishable but even then, how do you find the ones with cashews rather than the ones with Brazil nuts? Then of course there are Milk chocolates and or Dark Chocolates, hiding their secrets insides. Finding a wealth creation business venture can be very much the same.
It is not unusual for business ventures on the internet to appear like they are all the same. Many of the ventures have you purchase something easy and small. Then there is more and more information. Many promise you a lifestyle and abundant riches, sometimes overnight. All offer to take some money off your hands. How do you know that a business venture will produce what it says it will? The leader of the pack always has made lots of money. If you haven’t yet had that experience, how do you know which one to choose? Should I pick the Orange Nougat or the Maple and Walnut Crunch? Finding a wealth creation venture online, (flavor) that matches your taste really must fit your palate, your lifestyle, your tolerance for risk and your budget.
Is this ‘upsell’ an indication that could lead you down the path to “well, not so much” integrity? Not necessarily. This is actually a way business people determine who is actively seeking the product they are showcasing and how quickly the prospect wants to get it. Sometimes the chocolates are so tempting that it is best to purchase two boxes, one for the gift and one to eat on the way to do the rest of the shopping! This is the prospect most working at home business ventures are looking for. Eager, knowledgeable, quick decision makers, who won’t need to be ‘handheld’ or ‘babysat’. Handhelds are for smart phones and babysitting is best when it is your grandchildren! I looked for some very specific things with an online business venture.
FIRST, I looked for others who were just like me. I wanted to join a group of people who were not only looking for integrity in thier business working at home, but those who love that yummy, melt in your mouth savory flavor. Once I joined, I knew my integrity would be strengthened by associating with others who know how to build wealth and how to secure it. I also knew I would be securing friendships for life.
SECOND, are they giving you anything of value away for FREE? A wealth creation business that can afford to give information or a portion of a product away for FREE, sends an automatic sense of living in abundance. I figure that as long as the information is FREE, this is a golden opportunity for the business venture to show what the rest of the products may be like, some of the other flavors, if you will.
THIRD, I looked for any money back guarantees. Not that I was looking for that going in, but knowing a guarantee is there calms my fears that others I share my work at home business venture with may need one. Especially, if they have bitten into that unknown flavor, one they haven’t tasted before, and could become savory and distinguishable on their tongue. A favorite flavor perhaps?
IF WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR is fabulous friendships, a kinship for creating wealth, and the lifestyle you create for yourself. I found these things in this business venture. This has changed my life. I know you have heard it before, but you have tasted chocolate and that wonderful chocolate experience keeps you going back for more right?
QUOTE FROM THE TOTE: “There are only three things in life that matter – good friends, good chocolate and, oh dear, what was that other one?” ~ Unknown
