Gratitude & Appreciation for an Empowered Woman
Can appreciation really be the ONE SINGLE, TANGIBLE, REPEATABLE, ANSWER TO EVOLVE BEYOND EVERY SINGLE LIFE CHALLENGE?
Transcending OUR EMOTIONAL PATTERNS is the key to APPRECIATION (from family problems to financial stress).
Think about every "problem" as your own personal emotional reaction to a PERCEIVED "Problem".
But the amazing thing is that once we transcend the emotions of a "problem", we experience APPRECIATION and our whole life miraculously changes.
We will experience emotions in every moment of our lives!
Yet, there is a SCIENCE to balancing your emotions and in turn mastering the Art of Appreciation.
Think about APPRECIATING YOUR MONEY... When you do this, does it then not grow?
"Appreciation" is the key to:
- Mastering Relationships
- Mastering Worth
- Mastering Wealth
- Mastering Wisdom
True APPRECIATION...True GRATITUDE is about:
*finding the perfection in our circumstances
*a state of “being”
*having a presence of inspiration and non-judgment
*getting beyond the lies of “good” and “evil”
*finding God in every word, thought and deed
*being in Spirit, with Spirit
*loving what we don't like as much as what we do like, and
*EQUAL LOVE for all that is, as it is, was, or ever shall become.
I am offering you a free book - “Thank God I...”Stories of Inspiration so that you, too, can “see” and “know” there are other people, OTHER EMPOWERED WOMEN, who BROKE THROUGH their adversities, their challenges, and developed a state of mind of “GRATITUDE”.

Our feelings have been called the language of the soul. Our emotional highs and lows are an opportunity for us to experience soul-full language and gratitude.
How is this possible?
Especially since sometimes our emotions are at times painful and uncomfortable...
It is through this realization that our feelings of pain and discomfort serve us in some higher purpose that we are able to connect with our emotional highs and our emotional lows. In this realization we can choose....we can choose...to balance those highs and lows with gratitude and connect to our deeper self.
Being an Empowered Woman is embracing this deeper concept.
St. Augustine once said, "This is the very perfection of man (or woman!), to find out his (or her) own imperfections."
As we begin to master, as Empowered Women... Empowered Beings... our understanding of equilibrating our emotional charges we will have an increased ability to live in harmony with those emotions.
What is the benefit of this?
1. We stand, as women, EMPOWERED in our strong and beautiful light.
2. We, as Empowered Women, live on purpose with Inspiration.
3. We radiate, we glow, and bask in living vibrantly!
4. We, as Empowered Women, live every moment Inspirationally Aligned with our Creator Source.
Stay present to this blog to find out more key steps to Empowering yourself to the Perfect Solution!

EMPOWERMENT DECLARATION!
and
boring!
We are entering a new decade within a new millennium!
It's about time for something different!
Something that truly expemlifies who we are ~ collectively, consciously, cohesively!
Maybe it's just me and my Universe, but everyday I see more and more people wiping the "sleepy" out of their eyes and they see something new. They feel something new; wondering and thinking something new ~ but they have no title to it, they don't have this juicy, concrete meaning of what they are yearning for and there's no label and there isn't this 'same as it ever was' process anymore.
And yet..what is this purpose of waking up? Well, Rise and Shine Love-lies ~ It's time to design and devise your 'EMPOWERMENT DECLARATION'!
What is so antethic about an 'EMPOWERMENT DECLARATION!'?
It is about presently co-creating in the art of inspiration and full gratitude living!It is about synchronizing harmonic balance in relationships, financial abundance, self fulfillment, and expansion with connection to others. Here is a movement building the foundation of community, commitment and genius.
The 'EMPOWERMENT DECLARATION!' is a symposium of your words sanctioning you in your strength, talents, goals, and defined dreams. The 'EMPOWERMENT DECLARATION!' is your melodic heartbeat stating to the Universe who YOU are.
So what are your words? What is the music streaming live from your mind and heart to the Universe?
Here's mine!
Alison's 'EMPOWERMENT DECLARATION!' for 2010:
1. I know that I have a definitive life purpose. I have the persistent and consistent nature that achieves each goal I've written down and declared.
2. I am a triumphant success and all of the challenges in front of me are the tools to refine my character, voice and tenacity.
3. My lifestyle is rich with abundance that expresses itself with an avalanche of love, inspiration, gratitude, and juicy experiences.
4. I deserve the prosperity, acknowledgment, and success that is presently in my path. I honor and am fulfilled by what I bring to this Universe and how the Universe reciprocates to me.
5. I am One with Spirit and Mother Earth and that Divine Love that embraces ALL of me!
Take action! Write now! Right now!

Your Perfect Dream Come True
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am a perfect woman. I am perfect in my eyes. I am perfect in my creator’s heart.
As I sit in this wooden high-top chair in a small, crowded coffee-shop, I am observing the kaleidoscope of humanity before me, I see the perfection in them ~ the blue-eyed girl, with a shaved head, sweating to make the perfect cup of coffee; the grayed-hair man embracing his pen and pad of paper sitting under the umbrella’d table; the young mother, with a turned down grin, pushing her baby across the cobblestone sidewalk; and the gently sun-kissed homeless man and his box of secrets ~ such perfection in their story.
What is your perfect story?
Mine started at the age of 5. I remember being wildly attracted to yellow flowers and men with strong personalities; for my own father, in my perspective, was not. Through out my life, I manifested not only many bouquets of yellow flowers, but also many men who fit the profile: strong and abusive. (Disclaimer: not all of the men my life were abusive.)
I learned, at a young age, that seemingly my worth was based solely on how to make the man in my life happy. That man could have been a teacher, an uncle, my father, a boyfriend, a boss. I believed this so deeply as I continued to experience this type of relating a good portion of my life.
I experienced different forms of abuse, however…
the greatest abuse I experienced was the abuse I did to myself.
I did not take the time to look in the mirror and see the beauty of my soul gleaming out to the world.
I did not observe the uniquely, crooked smile that only I can give.
I did not hear the beating of my own unconditional, loving heart.
What I saw, for so long, was a woman who believed that she deserved to be hit, to be told she is worth nothing and fat, stupid and ugly.
How does a woman become empowered after many years of such an embedded belief-system?
Interesting that you should ask!
Three years ago, I met a beautiful woman who I had an instant sisterly connection with one night. She and I began to share our stories of a past we believed shaped us into this being sitting before each other.
My friend then asked me the strangest question.
“Alison, would you be open to the possibility that these stories you tell are perfect in design?”
Huh?
She then proceeded to introduce me to a man (yes, a man) who pushed me further in asking the question,
“Alison, what are you grateful for in these experiences?”
Again….HUH?
He asked me to make a list. On one side write everything that I could think of that seemed to be “negative” about my experiences with men. Write until I exhausted every thought and emotion. This task took about 3 days.
Once I finished that list, he instructed me to write on the other side an equal amount of positives from these experiences. I definitely had to have help; at the time, I just couldn’t see the benefit of these encounters. He encouraged me to look deeper ~
“Negative” – Felt alone
“Positive” – Stronger determination to manifest my own destiny
“Negative” – Sense of loosing my innocence
“Positive” – Encouraged me to mentor young kids to play and learn life skills
“Negative” – Physical Pain
“Positive” – Took a self defense class which in turn began to raise my confidence
I think you can see what began to happen.
Writing the positives took longer as I had bombarded myself with messages that did not embrace love and forgiveness.
It wasn’t easy at first. Quite frankly, sometimes it still isn’t easy. And there is such beauty in that discovery process of perfection. The men in my life ~ are perfect as they are. The challenges and beliefs I held and have ~ are perfect as they appear.
Me = Perfection.
Period.
The concept itself may sound easy. When you really begin to tackle true heart issues to find equilibrating traits (equal positives and negatives) it can feel daunting. Once you do this, beautiful soul…once you take the courage to face the equal positives and negative, you find the perfection in that event, that circumstance, that belief.
That perfection establishes the playing ground of no longer having a charge in your life.
You experience gratitude. You experience love for the perfection in you.
Today, I look in the mirror and see a beautiful, sexy, strong, loving woman worthy of all the Universe delivers to me. I know the perfection in each soul I see. I know I am the dream I have been waiting for and my voice is bold and strong!

Your Voice and Prosperity ~ Part 2
It has purposely taken me awhile to write the second part of "Your Voice and Prosperity".
Why?
Well, this is still an area that I continue to grow by leaps and bounds. When I ask the Universe (God) for the ability to see more clearly in my growth so that I may share with others...well...the Universe delivers!
Over the course of two weeks, since writing Part 1, I have been challenged deeply by my thought processes in the area of Prosperity. The "Mind" has a unique way of 'butting-in; and convincing me that "it's hard"; that "it's beyond my control because of the economy"; that "if I prosper than my friends and family will think this or that of me"; and the infamous "Am I really worthy of this?"
Prosperity is a natural condition. What I feel is a natural process. I can change my process to understand and have thoughts of choosing to move in to the natural condition of prosperity.
Yes. I can hear some of you saying or thinking, “Alison, I've used principals of the Law of Attraction. It just doesn't work for me.” I've said the same thing too. I've even said, “I read/hear/see all of these steps and practices and yet it still does not work for me.
Perseverance = Prosperity
Prosperity = harmony in all areas of my life
Specifically, though, I have been focusing a lot of my thoughts and energy in one area – financial.
What I am seeing right now, in my bank account, is the result of my past thoughts and behaviors. It is not who I am today. The quality of my thoughts that I hold in my mind right now is attracting the quality of life I am heading towards.
The attracting of energy and the life I am choosing is expressed through my thoughts.
Feeling prosperous comes from an inner glow – a sense that all is well in the Universe, that everything is the way it should be.
So what if it feels that it isn't?
Perseverance = Prosperity
Remember that at the core of your being, you are already perfect. Feeling prosperous is enjoying fully what you already have. The secret to experiencing joy in life is loving what you have while you're working towards what you want.
There is nothing missing and everything is present. Everything you are inspired to have in your life is right there. Money, wealth, success, prosperity, love, and wisdom are all here for you, in your life, right now.
If you are presently not satisfied at the form of life which you created you must change what you focus on today. Focus on loving and honoring who you are right now. Be grateful for choosing this new life of yours. This is a daily practice ~ it can take awhile and believe once you allow your "mind" to percieve what it feels like to be prosperous ~ the Universe delivers.
This journey of prosperity is not about FINISHING. Its about growing in quantum leaps to a greater degree of love, understanding and creating the life we are inspired to live ~ financially, with relationships, and within yourself.

Your Voice and Prosperity ~ Part 1
Money, success, relationships, health, intellectual growth and spirituality are interrelated – they are our inner and outer work at one and the same time.
To many women (and men) life seems like an either/or situation. You may dedicate your life to your career and loose your sense of joy and playfulness; you may devote your energy to your family and feel like there just isn’t enough time to exercise daily; and/or you may search and search for the “right” answer for your spirituality and forget that the answer resides right in front of you.
We are ready for something more ~ we are ready to live harmoniously, in balance, with all of the areas of our lives. Attaining balance and equilibrium does not need to be at odds as they contribute to one another.
I recently had a conversation with a loved one about the “reality” of our thoughts and prayers. We were watching a particular motivational speaker, on TV; I shared that I enjoyed listening to him and asked her what she thought of him. She mentioned that she used to listen to him frequently until it dawn on her that his typical message isn’t reality.
I probed further.
She disclosed that he introduces this idea to focus, pray and think about what you want and you will get it. She expressed that this pattern of thought can only cause disappointment. I asked further what she meant. My loved one stated, “Well, if you pray and think about what you want and you don’t get it, then you will continuously be disappointed.”
I didn’t have an opportunity to finish the conversation with her as we had to leave for an event. However, I am glad I had the opportunity to really sink my teeth in to this belief system and discover where I am in my own journey of thought.
It seemed foreign to me that someone else didn’t practice or believe in our power of thought. I also forgot that I have been on my particular spiritual path for over 10 years discovering this very philosophy: I have the power to create the life I really want. Thought is energy, and energy has the power to manifest. (Manifest means to produce, to cause to happen, to bring forth the world of ideas to the physical word of reality.)
If I am of God and this Universe, and God created me from mere thought ~ I am able to do the same and have the ability to create from that world of ideas.
Seems far fetched?
Since I relocated 22 drivable-hours away from my immediate family, it has been a challenge to visit as often as I would like. 3 years ago, I missed experiencing Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas in the same year, with my family, due to percieved financial challenges. I decided, on Christmas day, that somehow I was going to change this!
I sat down and wrote out in the present tense of what I saw as my ideal in traveling to see my family (yes this comes straight from my journal!), “I am visiting my family at least once every three months. We take family vacations together and I am financially able to do so.” I left it to the Universe and prayed that God would work it out.
July 2009, I accepted a full-time position with an airline carrier and coincidently, I am able to fly for free! Last weekend, I flew to St. Louis to share a family mini-vacation with my sister and her family and had the opportunity to connect with a long-time friend.
Luck? A fluke? A strange twist of fate?
Perhaps you could say yes.
However, I was specific ~ I consistently envisioned, through my eyes, jet setting across the country to spend time with my family and actually felt how it feels to be living in the joyful moment of sharing space with family.
I also had to take action: write down my vision; regularly envision my vision; wait for the opportunity to arise; and grabbed hold of the opportunity and took the necessary steps to accomplish my goal.
Our thoughts are a reflection of our belief system ~ What you believe is what you achieve. If there is a whisper of disappointment and doubt, God and the Universe grant you just that. “Ask and it shall be given unto you, Seek and you shall find…”
You deserve the life you envision. Your Voice is your empowerment in reaching your Vision~
Say it ~
I deserve the life I envision.
I deserve the life I envision!
I DESERVE THE LIFE I ENVISION!
