Z.I.G - Z.A.G.

Z.ip I.nto G.ratitude - Z.ap A.ll G.riping Transformation is about progress, about growth. We will make more progress when we give thanks for everything positive and break free from the shackles of negativity by eliminating the complaints . ZIG ZAG is what "I GET TO" is all about. When we give thanks for what we GET TO do and stop griping about "having to" do anything, we will transform into the world of change we wish to...

Yearn for Yardage

I guess it's evident that it's football season as we approach the end of our ABC's of Transformation. It's no new practice for me to use sports as an analogy for transformation, for living. A football player, carrying the ball, gives everything he's got to move the ball forward, even if only for a fraction of a yard. We too must YEARN FOR YARDAGE. There will be times that we have an open field before us, where we can run like the wind and there w...

Xpect Xcellence

If we are what we think, and I believe we are, then it only stands to reason that if we XPECT mediocre or average, than that is all we are ever going to be. Likewise if we XPECT failure that is what we'll get, if we XPECT XCELLENCE we will beget that. I have experienced both, so I have put the theory to test and can tell you, XCELLENCE comes by chioice!!! It's alot more xciting, alot more fullfilling and alot more rewarding. Why choose smallness ...

WHITTLE THE WASTE

I used to watch my grandfather whittle under a large tree out in the side yard of my grandparents home. Many many small shavings would fall before an image would emerge, from what began as a branch or block of wood. The work of art appears to be complete, but the artist keeps rendering the wood one small shaving at a time, exposing magnificent detail and workmanship with every stroke.Transformation is alot like whittling. The creation we long to ...

Value, but Vacate, the Valley

Five years ago, I fell to my lowest low.... into the biggest pit... and deepest VALLEY.... and was told, "Someday you will look back at this and say it's the best thing that ever happened to you". I thought that concept was insane. How in the world would I ever VALUE THE VALLEY? I could not see how injustice and a demotion would ever be something that I VALUED or gave thanks for. We had sacraficed so much for my husband's ca...

understand unity

When we unify ourselves so that our heart, mind, soul and body are completely one; together strong, together whole, and together healthy, we experience life in the magnitude for which we were created. When focus is on the body alone, or what is apparent on the outside, life's experience is flat...shallow. When focus is primarily on the mind or emotions, there still is an imbalance. The body becomes neglected, weak, and un...

T.W.I.S.T.

T.W.I.S.T. (Train with Intensity, Sharpness, Tenacity)When I was training this morning it occurred to me that when it comes to my physical training, I always hit my "10". I am intense, sharp and tenacious. I give more when I feel like giving up! Every morning in the gym, I am propelled to, and experience, a high level of adrenaline, success, and empowerment. As I reflect, recognize, and refine, I realize I need to T.W.I.S.T all day long...

Stand Strong thru Storms and Suffering

Storms and suffering are inevitable. So many songs and sayings about weathering the storms and the lessons that come with suffering. Here are only a few....take your pickFrom the Bible Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings,because we know that suffering produces perseverance;perseverance, character; and character, hope. Romans 5:3-4 From a song:There's a tree out in the backyardThat never has been broken by the w...

The 3 R's (a new kind)

REFLECT, RECOGNIZE, and REFINEThere are many who aren't comfortable taking a REAL, good, look at themselves. Whether in the mirror of the outer being or in meditation with the inner being, REFLECTion in both sense of the word, is such a valuable key. With it, we can RECOGNIZE AND REFINE those areas that are robbing us of joy. It is through a long, serious, honest look in the mirror that we GET REAL with ourselves and pinpoint what's in the way of...

Quell the Quitter

Quell the QuitterQuell means to crush, to put an end to. The quitter in us is the only thing keeping us from knowing our full potential. No matter how strong I've become, how successful I've been; there will always be a quitter in me that will try and get in the way of my living a full life. I'm constantly working to QUELL THE QUITTER. Life works that way. Whether or not I use that to propel me, or defeat me, is the choice I get to (you get to) m...

P. P. P.U.S.H (I meant to stutter :)

P P Push!!! (Pray, Participate and Persevere until something happens)A couple of months ago, Lydia called me into the living room to share an acronym she received in one of her emails. It was PUSH (Pray Until Something Happens) I believe for us to know our potential and to deserve abundant blessings, we can't just ask for them in prayer. We have to earn them with participation and perseverance. God doesn't desire for us to be lazy ...

Overcome the Oppressor

The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. Psalm 9:9 "The most powerful tool of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed." - Iyanla Vanzant I had originally thought I would use obstacles for the "o" lesson. But it occured to me that it's more empowering to OVERCOME THE OPPRESSOR. Why overcome obstacles one by one when you can OVERCOME THE OPPRESSOR and rid y...

Notify your Network

The assistance, support and encouragement of others is something that is necessary in order to tap into and realize your full potential. We discussed this some with Jumpstart your Journey, but this is different. You can Jumpstart your Journey silently by following the example and suggestions of others. This is about being agressive and vocal not passive and quiet. This is about realizing that because we are not perfect, we need accountabilit...

Master and Maximize your Morning

I realize some of you may have been looking for this post sooner. In "LEARNING TO LISTEN" I heard from within that there are people and projects needing my attention and they aren't getting it through the computer. I've decided it best to limit computer time during the weekend. While in the hospital, I got quite accustomed to the laptop being my only outlet. Everyday it was my connection to life outside the fou...

In celebration of lifelong learning!I have discovered and embraced that I wil...

K.I.S.S (not what you think it is)

K.I.S.S. Keep Imagining Something Spectacular. The sooner one realizes the importance of visualization and practices it, the sooner they will achieve the power to create the life they dream of. We've discussed Believing in Better, but you have to keep that belief in the forefront of your mind and keep revisiting it. Again, this works across the board, but this morning I applied it in the physical arena. The K.I.S.S concept took me from ...

Jumpstart your Journey

When your car battery is running low on juice and won't start, you jumpstart it with one that's strong and has a full charge. Once it's had time to rebuild it's charge, it can start and run on it's own. Many have begun this transformation journey because they're low on juice, which has left them with a vehicle that's not able to go where it needs to go. Until the spirit, energy, confidence, and love levels are a...

Identify the Intent

Wow, today's letter was a tough one initially. There are so many powerful "i" words that further a positive transformation. When I'm determining the words for these transformation tips, I really put alot of thought into whether it covers everything I want it to and whether these steps are coming in an order that's true to the process. I think it's important that these observations cover the whole gammit of transformation, not just ...

Hit it Hard

I've competed in many sports in my lifetime and one thing is certain, the harder I have to fight for it, the sweeter the victory is. I don't think there is an athlete around that wouldn't agree that winning as the underdog is sweeter than sweeping the opponent without much effort. Whether it be sports, work, a project.....you name it.....if you've had to work really hard to complete it successfully, there is an adrenalin...

GLORIFY THE GOOD!

I seem to get more and more pumped as I'm sharing the ABC's of Transformation. As I've learned to live by them, I've been blessed. They've changed my life and placed me in the seat of victory, strength and joy. I'm anxious to witness the same rewards for you as you test these practices and share your own transformation stories and victories. Jonnae and I learned early that blessings come when you GLORIFY THE GOOD. When sh...
