FLIPIf I’d had a “movie” camera when I was a kid, I would have been making films. And that’s exactly why I’ve Flipped for my FLIP.

As a member of the Prosperity Tribe, I do a lot of energy work each and every week.  There’s the weekly calls, the ‘homework’ and then the stuff I do on my own.

There was a contest that you could or could not participate in about taking action — not just dreaming about your goals, but doing something about them.  For me, that is not an issue.  Yes, I’m a Dreamer, but I’m also a HUGE DOER.  How else could my husband and I build our three-story home on the side of a mountain near Lake Tahoe?  By wishing it so?  I don’t think so.  And built it we did.  All by ourselves.

Oh yeah, we had some help for foundation and grading, insulation and sheetrock, roof trusses and install of same, carpet and HVAC.  Yep that’s it.  We live in a great big beautiful house on the side of the mountain.  We live where most people vacation.  How cool is that?

So the idea of the competition was to take inspired action.  I didn’t have any inspiration whatsoever to participate in the contest, which involved sending in a couple of paragraphs or putting your face on film.

I followed my gut on this one.  Being open to yourself to taking inspired action is cool.  But for someone who is a HUGE DOER like me, learning when NOT to take action is just as important.  In fact, it’s huge.

The whole point is to get your subconscious working with your conscious mind (at least for me anyway) to create the prosperity in your life that you desire.  Moving big energy helps you to do this.  And then taking inspired action on your dreams.  I’ve been in the tribe since November 1, 2009 and have since earned back my monthly fee 50 times since then.  So that whole part of it is working.

I didn’t realize the side benefits I’d be receiving though.  Like feeling totally like a kid again, WooHOO!

I’ve been moving big energy here and really am grateful that I joined the Tribe.   So for me, being in the Tribe isn’t about learning how to take action, it’s learning how to move big energy.  And lots of things are happening in a big way.  And more quickly than I would have ever imagined.

So back to the topic at hand, I’ve known for a while now that making videos for promoting your website is something that is a really good thing to do.  People can “see” you, they can “feel” your persona, your energy, and basically can tell if you’re full of sh_t or not. And since I’ve got a couple of books I’ve written and would love to have folks read, I thot I’d do up a couple of videos and add them to those websites.  Let people “feel” me and know that I am indeed the real thing and not some fly-by-nighter out to make a buck.

In fact, I’ve learned that I don’t make money from people at all.  Making money is all about resonating with it and drawing it in.  That’s it.  What I like to do, absolutely love to do, is interact with people.  Touch them in some way, let them know how really great they are.  Inspire them to their greatest dream.  Share with them my stories, not just fiction ones, but the real life ones to.

Sidetrack – great quote:  What is the difference between truth and fiction?  Fiction has to make sense.

Yeah, that’s what I love to do.  Share stories, share life, share inspiration.

And the camera’s going to help me do that.

LOL, what I had not counted on when ordering the camera — thanks to the Universe — was what I would look like on film.

I set up the camera to photograph the hubby and I while we had our Friday night-its-time-to-have-a-beer.   I looked fine then.  And it was great for some good laughs.  I always knew putting a camera up would be fun, but what I didn’t know is how self-revealing it is.

If you want to work with energy in a big way, get a FLIP camera and use it to make a video log.  It’s is an amazing little device.  And I got mine on Amazon.com for $30 off.  I was looking to purchase a refurbished model (to save money, which I enjoy doing) and found that for about $40 bucks more I could get a brand new one — so I did that and am so glad I did.

I’ve always felt like my life was a movie anyway, and now I can see how true that is.

The camera revealed to me how others see me.  This is incredible.  It’s a gift.  I realize that I am truly a character.  I’ve got personality plus.  Not an issue there.  What I no longer have is the face of my youth.  Where in the hell did that go? LOL, knowing I’m 56 is one thing.  And no I don’t quite LOOK 56 yet anyway, but I don’t look even close to the way I did when I was 40 or 30 or 20.

I never realized how much vanity there really is in life.  I used to think one of those “lifestyle lifts” would not be so much fun.  I’m rethinking that option after seeing my face on camera. Yes, it’s vain I know, but I don’t care.

I’m also doing exercises on the face.  Have been for a while.  You know those old photographs where they show a picture of you and your dog, and how much they look like you.  Why oh why, did I get a Mastiff, so I could look at her and feel her jowls were bigger than mine, HAH!

Of course we are our own worst critics when it comes to this stuff.

But if you want to get real with yourself in a big way, and quickly, order a FLIP camera, do a video log and then put it on your computer and watch yourself.  Something happens big time.

By looking at myself on film, I realize that I am indeed worth loving.  I am worth knowing.  I am worth sharing what I know so that maybe someone else that comes along can do something inspiring for themselves or someone else.

After all, if you haven’t figured it out by now, you might want to look around — we really are all connected. Like my Native American brothers and sisters are fond of saying, “we’re all related.”

Oh, and stay tuned for a video update.  Stardate 2010.

Enjoy your day, it really is wonderful to be alive.  Try breathing once and while, consciously.  You might find that you enjoy it.

gratitude energyI’m involved in a program called the Prosperity Tribe which is a monthly subscription program hosted by multi-millionaires David and Kristin Morelli.

David is an energy master, and Kristin is a master of money — in all its forms.  She retired from full time work before she was 30 on her own efforts.  She’s got a business savvy that goes beyond words.

And well, David, he shifts energy easier and quicker than a Pacific Gas and Electric sub-station.  They also host the radio show, Everything is Energy, which in one year went from 0 to 300,000 listeners — and it’s still growing.

All of this is testament to the truth of what they are all about.  But that’s not what this blog post is about.

This blog post is about gratitude.

Yeah, I know, you’ve heard it all before.

Betcha haven’t.

Bear with me a moment.

What we do in the Prosperity Tribe is learn to shift the energy in our own lives.  The idea being, why deal with the symptoms when you can go to the source and cure the ills that way?  Makes sense doesn’t it?

We’ve been working with releasing energy patterns that are stored way down in our subconscious that actually work to prevent the good stuff from happening in our lives.  Me, I’m there to release all my crap about money.  And there’s a lot stored down in there.  After 56, nearly 57 years of living, well, I’ve developed plenty of storage space for all this stuff.

I’d been feeling a bit down (as it sometimes happens when you’re shifting energy) and beating up on myself (which is what you’re NOT supposed to do).

So New Year’s day came and I made a complete fool of myself.

What I’d been doing internally showed up externally.

I tripped over one of those parking curbs in a parking lot and slammed my face to the pavement, essentially developing a huge egg on my forehead accompanied by the sweetest looking strawberry that splayed across my entire face from my forehead to my upper lip.  I also bruised and injured a few other places, but not as evident as what appeared upon my face.

What I’d been doing internally showed up externally.

The second day I looked like a prize fighter.  My husband asked me if I wanted him to cut my eyes with a razor like they did with the prize fighters.

I didn’t laugh.

In fact, I continued beating up on myself some more.  It took me three days to get over  this foolishness.

By Monday, I’d had enough — so I went back to the gift from Kristin and David — a Thanksgiving meditation, put on my ear phones and plugged into the I-Pod and I listened to it again.

Essentially it’s one of David’s great creative visualization meditations that aid you in filling up with golden life rejuvenating energy.  And then you take that energy and bring it down to your heart where you let it sit and experience it as thankfulness.

It was what happened next that blew me away.  And the funny thing of it is — I know this — but had forgotten it because my life had become so much better over the last decade.

David asked us to feel gratitude for the stuff we didn’t want in our lives.

WHAM!  It hit me like a ton of bricks.  This was something I’d been doing most of my spiritual journey, back when the scales were weighted toward the negative expressions in my life and circumstances.

I knew then to have true heart-felt gratitude for everything good and bad, but after 1994, my life had gotten so much better, that I started to forget to have gratitude for more than just the good stuff.

I immediately felt true thanksgiving for falling on my face.  This uplifted my heart immediately.

And then the next day we started to receive an influx of income opportunities for my husband’s business.

You see it’s really easy to be grateful for the good.

What’s not so easy is to be grateful for the not-so-good. Any fool can be thankful for his wonderful food, his car, his house, his family — that’s easy.  It’s the negative expressions of life for which one forgets to give thanksgiving.

When your heart is truly thankful for everything that shows up in your life, good or bad, you are effectively removing all resistance to that which you desire, making it easy for it to show up.

Most of the time we carry around resistance to our desires in the form of stored energy patterns.  Thankfulness melts that resistance — especially when it is real and for the wanted AND unwanted.

True heart-felt thankfulness is read by the Universe as a YES! to life and the Universe can’t help but respond in kind.

It’s simply It’s Nature.

So next time when something bad happens, open up your heart and say thank you.  There is a silver lining in that dark cloud.

If you want to find out more about the Prosperity Tribe follow the link.  I think they still have the special going on where the first month is only $47.  The normal monthly fee is $97 — and I’m not going to twist your arm to come on over.

I really don’t care if you join or not.  I’m there and I understand it’s worth.  Every month I have paid that fee, I have received it back at least twice that amount and or more since I joined.  And this month we’ve hit the exponential numbers on that amount!  WooHoo!

Go ahead, I dare you, what can you be thankful for that’s maybe not so wonderful in your life?

Try it and you’ll see what I mean.

But know this: it must be real gratitude.

You can’t fool the Universe.

If I had two hands full of thumbs, Avatar the Movie,  would be a “TEN THUMBS UP” movie.

I saw it Saturday morning 12/19/09 at 9:45 am with my husband at the El Dorado Regal Cinema Theatres. We’re going back next weekend to watch it in IMAX — and since I haven’t ever seen a film in IMAX it will more than likely be a visual orgasm. Because that is exactly what this film is on a regular screen.

Avatar, the movie,  is so rich visually, that I don’t think our brains and our visual cortex actually “can handle” it’s visual depth without many seeings.  If ever there was a desire to get a HD tv and Blu-Ray player, when this movie makes it to disc, that will fuel my manifestation of these two items.

When writer and director James Cameron said “the movie Avatar will change the face of movie making forever” I thought he was having one of his “I’m-King-of-The-World-Moments” like he did after winning the academy awards.  But alas, he speaks the truth.

Avatar, the movie will forever change the ways that movies CAN BE MADE and it’s stunning graphics come to us from none other than THE WETA WORKSHOP, well known for their work on the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but that’s not when they first got started in film making.

The Weta Workshop has been around since 1987 and the first film in their filmology is Meet the Feebles 1989. Other well-known movies they have worked on include Jackson’s The Frighteners, 1996, Hellboy, 2003, Master and Commander, 2003, The Last Samurai, 2003, Kingdom of Heaven, 2004, Van Helsing, 2004, The Chronicles of Narnia, The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, 2005, and Prince Caspian, 2008, The Lovely Bones, (Peter Jackson) just released and in production for the The Hobbit produced by Peter Jackson and directed by Guillermo del Toro, of Hellboy and Pan’s Labyrinth

I’ve already read somewhere that someone is calling this a “Christian” film.  This movie, spiritually, is so far beyond any religion that would like to claim it for its own — and frankly it speaks to the interconnectedness of all things — but those with Native American roots (or any aboriginal or shamanic culture) will greatly appreciate its major themes.

I don’t think this movie is recommended for the younger children, but those already into gaming of any sort, would most definitely appreciate this film.  I’d take a guess and say mature 8-9 year olds might find it fascinating, but the younger ones tend to get twitchy in their seats.

Whatever your plans this holiday season, you’ve got to see Avatar – the Movie — and I highly recommend seeing it in 3-D or IMAX.

Buy your tickets in advance (anywhere) and assure yourself of the seats

TicketNetwork.com gets you in.
