You Don’t Have to be Perfect
Oct 15th
Do you think you need to be “perfect” before your dreams can come true? I used to. That is, what my version of perfect was. It’s true you have to act “as if ” those dreams have already come true and in doing so you will become the person you were meant to be. As my own vision is coming into fruition I’m more organized, use my time better, and get more sleep. But it wasn’t always that way. What I think it’s more of, is knowing you are worthy of having your dreams come true. That the pursuit of huge goals is available to you just as much as ANY other person on this planet. That all of the people you hold in your mind as successful had “stuff” of their own to overcome. It’s a matter of just starting right now as you are - not waiting until you have a certain amount of money in savings, or the kids get older, or you learn a new skill, or get rid of that bad habit, or loose 10 pounds, etc, etc. When you decide to go for it RIGHT NOW the Universe says “oh look he or she is ready let’s start flooding him with the resources/support he/she needs, and I’ll be darned if that doesn’t happen. There are certain universal laws that one should follow as well and I can’t recommend the book, The Four Spritiual Laws of Prosperity by Edwene Gaines enough. It’s been such a blessing in my life to keep me on my path, as well as getting support.
The point is no one is perfect! In fact your idea of perfect is probably very different from anyone else’s. Which just shows that this notion of “I’m not ready because…” is a lie – another tactic of the subconscious or conditioned self thinking it’s keeping you safe. Well what it’s really doing it keep you stuck! I don’t know about you, but I hate being stuck. Been there done that, won’t go there again.
Let me know you’re thoughts!
Peace,
Linda
Baby Steps to a Big Goal
Jun 24th
“Confront the difficult when it is still easy; accomplish the great task by a series of small acts.” Tao Te Ching
Yesterday I made a took a small step(well maybe not so small). I called the offices of my all time favorite screen writer James L. Brooks. He know him he’s the guy (genius) that wrote Terms of Endearment, Broadcast News (fav), As Good as it Gets to name a few. I’m not going to lie I was more than a little nervous calling – this is James Brooks – why not start at the top! You see I’m planning a trip to the LA area soon and I thought hey I’d like to meet with Mr. Brooks – pick his brain, etc. – there’s gotta be a price on that, and frankly I’m willing to pay it! Well according to his assistant there is not. And you know that’s okay. I’m psyched he’s still working so much, that’s more of his work we’ll all get to enjoy. I know I have an awesome project that needs to be seen and will be loved. My amazing mentor (Shelley Riutta) mentioned this am that “The energy you expend and the risk you take always comes back to you.” It may not be in the exact way you initially intended, but it will bring progress. And as Anthony Robbins says “any amount of progress is gold.”
Believe in yourself and take action. You’ll be amazed by what happens!
What small step will you take on behalf of your mission today?
Peace & Prosperity~

A Heavenly Retreat
May 27th
"The Motley Crew"
- Me speaking
This past weekend I had the pleasure of speaking at a wonderful women’s retreat called “Relaxing by the Sea – Finding the Quiet Within.” I was surrounded by the most amazing, giving women – yoga and Rosen Movement instructors, holistic healers, intuitives, energy & social workers, teachers, massage therapists, pychotherapists, a chiropractor, business consultants, a Super Nanny, an artist and even a Naval officer! It’s so comforting to know that these women are out in the world doing their thing, which blesses the world.
This was put together by the amazing Vicki Perron(vperr@yahoo.com), who created the retreat. She is a master at organizing, details and networking. It’s awesome to see her in action. To the right is a picture of us on the beach of the majestic Lake Superior just before we had a scrumptious dinner in a log cabin. The weather was beautiful, and we were treated to a stunning sunset.
I highly recommend attending next years retreat in Ontonagon, Michigan. You won’t regret it. I think I’ve made some new dear friends. 
That’s the best gift of all!

Mar 13th
This past Thursday I had a blast. Brenda, Cindy and John of 44beyond Studios (www.44beyond.com) shot my shirts and more than that I was in them! Although I have modeled and done some stage and TV work in the past I was a little apprehensive at first. I thought the shirts would look better on a form vs a person. That people would be able to see themselves better in the shirt if it was on a form. John Hethorn, the photographer and Cindy Greaves, owner and stylist, said no way you we will shoot YOU in the shirts. So here we go.
I started out just doing regular poses, then I heard the studio music and you know me I can’t stand still when there is good music playing. I HAD to start dancing – I had to be me. I was so happy and grateful to the awesome people at 44 and so happy to be wearing my shirts that I coudn’t help but dance. Those shots turned out to be the best of the entire morning. This leads me to my Twitter of the day – The best gift you can give to the world is YOU – your authentic self. We are waiting for you, we need you. You are magnificent, awesome, talented. God made you to be happy, successful, fulfilled. He’s waiting and ready to help you do that! Don’t hold yourself beautiful self back – always be you and let it flow!
Peace, Love, Joy!
Universal Support
Feb 12th
Today I’m working on Grand Prize Wedding. I have to make a few changes to the beginning. I’m trusting that the guidance I need will be there, and a beautiful, exciting, entertaining outcome will result. Once that is done my script is off to Hollywood via Chicago. Come with me on this journey of a long-awaited dream come true. Tell me about your dreams!! Your dreams are divinely inspired. Pay attention to them. Give them your time, belief, action. Know whatever is in your heart is possible. The Law of Polarity states for every up there is a down, for every in an out, for every idea(dream) a way to achieve it. You just need to start and the way will be revealed. The Universe wants to support us. God loves us so much! He wants you to go for it! He made us to be happy, abundant, successful. Take that leap and give God, Source the Universe the chance to show you just how much They are there for you! Oprah talks all of the time about living our best life – this is it people!
What will you do to move towards your dream today?
Peace, Love, Joy!
It’s All About the Why
Jan 30th
I mentioned in yesterday’s post that I would often wonder why I wanted to write a movie. I’m kind of hyper. I love to sing and dance. Sitting for hours at a computer wasn’t my idea of fun. Plus, it seemed like such an unusual and unrealistic thing for me to do. I used to think do I want to do it for money? Money buys comfort, but it won’t buy happiness, and doing it for money just isn’t enough. Do I want to write for fame? Well that’s just dumb, because from what I hear fame is empty and fleeting.
I finally just had to give up trying to figure it out and know for sure it was all going to be okay and just do it! Let it flow, as they say. I soon realized that when I listened to that muffled voice inside and gave myself a chunk of time to write I enjoyed it. The time just flew by. I found it very satisfying, even though it frustrated the heck out of me at times. I knew I loved words. There are certain lines in movies that are so powerful. I have some favorite screenwriters that I’ll share in another post, but James Brooks must be mentioned now! You are a genius! Thank you for listening to your Spirit and writing!
When I finally started writing on a regular basis I had the most amazing Spiritual connection. I mean I didn’t even know that kind of connection was possible. This moment was so huge, it gave me my answer right then. That writing is extremely healing for me, and it’s the ultimate way (even more than singing and dancing) that I connect with Spirit. And that my friends is all the reason I need.
Do you have something you want to do that seems well, wacky? Something that gnaws at you, that you almost just wish would go away. In the words of Nike “just do it!” I believe those messages, voices are Divine. Just decide “I’m worth letting myself do this” and take a leap of faith. Then just watch the miracles that will happen in your life. You’ll be amazed, not to mention HAPPY!
I’d like to share a wonderful quote I believe I got from Bob Proctor’s Insight of the Day. “When you have a purpose in life, a vision for what you want to achieve, and you know why you want to achieve it, your work becomes fun and the time you spend working seems to just whiz by.” Clayton J. Moore, Financial Expert
“I Can’t Do THAT!”
Jan 29th
While I was posting information about my movie, Grand Prize Wedding, I couldn’t help but think about how many years I tortured myself by not giving time to writing. I used to hear this little voice in my head “why aren’t you writing?”, “when you are going to start writing again.” It was actually pretty annoying. I had a busy life with two little boys, but mostly I didn’t think I really could do it. I wanted do deep down in the worst way, but rarely would work at it. I would wonder “why?!” Why do I want to write a movie? I’ll touch on that tomorrow.
I then thought of a conversation I had just last night. I attended an event and met a women who works for the federal court system – does a fine job. However, her passion is cooking. She cooks new recipes every week and is even involved with a national test kitchen giving them results, etc. She shared that after high school graduation she really wanted to go to cooking school in France and become a chef. She then went on to say the million dollar phrase, “but I didn’t think it was something I could do.” Ta daaaa! There it is, a phrase I know oh so well. A phrase I let direct my life for countless years. I’d venture to say it’s a belief that plagues many of us. Poor conditioning/programming or negative false beliefs bring on a myriad of negative self-talk: “I’m not good enough, I don’t know that world, no one in my family has done that, I’m not educated enough, I don’t know how to act in that world, I can’t do that!” Blah, blah, blah the list goes on and on.
Well it occurred to me if everyone thought that way, nothing would ever get done. We wouldn’t have the arts, industry, technology we know and enjoy. It all goes back to who created us and that fact that no person has any more or less capacity to do something than the other. When we really FEEL and know that God created us to be whoever, whatever we want to be, we won’t be afraid to do anything. I believe are deepest dreams are Divine Inspiration. When we shut down those little voices we are shutting ourselves off from Spirit and then boy do we have trouble. I’ll touch on that later.
So what dreams are you shutting down with false beliefs?
Master Mind Group Anyone?
Jan 22nd
Last Saturday I had the pleasure of hosting my master mind group for a celebration “as if” party. Being a part of a master mind group is one of the best decisions I have made in my life. We are a group of people that want to make big changes in our life and have big goals. For me it was to devote more time to singing, dancing and most of all finish writing my movie. For others such as Brenda Spaude, www.44beyond.com, award winning food photographer, she wants to increase her studio business and finish a novel she’s been working on. She’s well on her way to doing that. Mary Jo Purinton has opened a healing center on Washington Island. Others are starting their own businesses, manifesting their sole mate. The list goes on and on. And we’re all under the incredible, gifted leadership of Shelley Riutta, www.RadiantLifeCounseling.com. The most beautiful thing about this group is that we love and support each other unconditionally. We have two conference calls and one gathering a month, plus we study books and materials on manifestation, prosperity, etc. Every time I’m with these people I learn soooo much. It’s really incredible how far we have all come. It has completely restored my faith and crushed all my negative false beliefs about people changing and manifesting their dreams. It’s simply never too late to create the life you want.
That’s where the party comes in. We all have made such incredible progress that I decided we really needed to celebrate and be in that energy of having all of our goals achieved. It’s a very powerful tool to spend an evening at that high level of resonance. It lingers well after the event. I can still think back to that night and FEEL how fun, and wonderful it was to be together and CELEBRATE. The above pic is of me hugging our fearless leader, Shelley. Another group shot on the way.
Are any of you in a master mind group? How is it working for you?
Doing Your “thing” is a Blessing to us All….
Jan 15th
It was warm New Year’s Day, and that’s saying a lot where I live. So I decided to take a walk and soak in some sun. I live by gorgeous woods and wandered to the edge of the entrance. I stood there and just looked at the beautiful trees and listened to the wind blow through them, when suddenly I heard a knocking sound. I looked around to figure out what it was as it started then stopped, started and stopped. The source was finally revealed, a beautiful Red Headed Wood Pecker – the real deal, a rather large bird. I sat down right in the snow and watched it go about it’s business doing it’s thing not paying me any attention, and I felt blessed. I actually felt blessed watching it.
On my way back home I coudn’t help but relate that to what I have discovered. When we do our thing, what we love, pursue our dreams, this is not a selfish thing. It’s a blessing because we are excited, feel alive, happy, content. And the resonance of that energy is projected throughout the universe. I can’t think of a better blessing.
Remember live your passion, connect with Spirit.
Peace, Love, & Joy!
Linda
