Welcome to 'My Home Page'         Updated: Feb. 25, 2021

Picture
This website is an evolving work in progress. It is always the most current public edition of my 'webBook' . . . which is continually in the making. I am writing and publishing it because I know that if you are genuinely seeking to find ways to feel Happier and be more Abundant than what you currently are, what I have learned can help you find your way. 

If you like what you see, please check back and browse through the pages, as I will be updating, articulating, and expanding them regularly . . . or as feels right for me.


Picture
As a student I am always learning, growing, and expanding my knowledge and awareness . . . and

As a teacher I am seeking to plant seeds with a
​deep-seated desire to see them sprout and flourish.

I have no formal education in the subjects you read about here, just my self-guided studies and my own personal experience of what has and is working for me. I am also not a skilled writer, although my writing is evolving as I am evolving. I am however a good example of an average person . . . who has learned and continues to learn, to actively work through and learn from the challenges of life . . . to the best of my ability. As a result, I have been able to grow and expand into creating a life of growing Happiness and Abundance. 

Picture
I was born into a lower income, working class family in rural Germany in 1961. I was the 3rd oldest out of 8 children and I took on a fair amount of responsibilities as a child. My childhood felt fairly chaotic and stressful, with little money to go around and a dysfunctional family home environment. I barely managed to be a 'C' grade student through 11th grade of high school . . . and just 2 months after I turned 17, I got married to an American Soldier.
​Six months later we moved to the U.S., leaving behind everything I ever knew.  ​​

Being the somewhat introverted and therefore a bit on the shy side type, with a side order of spunk and stubbornness . . . I suddenly found myself in a totally different culture; with a foreign language that I hardly spoke.

About 3 years later, I 'finished' high school by completing my GED high school equivalency, so that I could go to college. In the midst of college I experienced a painful divorce. I managed to continue and finish my College education while I also pursued happiness within another long-term relationship. It was near the end of this relationship, when I was in my late 20’s, where I began my journey of what I now call my 'Inner Work'. . . contained and evolving within these pages ! 

Picture
It was my pain of this, which was yet another ‘failed’ relationship, that initially spurred my ‘Inner Work’. Unbeknown to me at the time, it set in motion and developed into much more than looking at and resolving my relationship challenges. My work affected and slowly improved all areas of my life. I know now that it was my pursuit of this 'Inner Work', along with my persistence and my follow-through 'action', that was and still is responsible for the evolution into my current 'success'. Had I not done it . . . and would I not continue my efforts every day . . . I would have repelled many of my 'Good Fortunes' since that time; including the evolution of a flourishing relationship with my amazing husband since 2006.   


The above mentioned relationship ended in 1991, and it was the beginning of another important and impactful chapter in my life's journey . . . that of living the life of being 'single'.

My income was relatively modest, but I managed to buy a small, relatively inexpensive house . . . and I ended up spending more than 10 years learning about home renovation, self-reliance, and independence. With great pride, I worked relentlessly as I immersed myself into transforming my little house into 'My Home'. I also did a lot of soul searching and began to intensify my 'Inner Work' during those years . . . but the insights that I gained into my own 'Self' and how 'I was getting into my own way' of what I wanted and where I wanted to go . . . were not even close to the explosion of progress and revelation that was yet to come.

In 2001 I met my husband . . . and in retrospect I can clearly see that it was once again the beginning of a brand new phase of expansion and personal growth for me. Ever since, together, we have evolved into creating the happiest and most fulfilling life we can, for ourselves and for others.    ​Is my life perfect ? That depends on ones definition of what 'perfect' is ! ! ! ​

Picture
The Birth and Foundation of my 'Inner Work':

'Change Begins With Me' . . . from 'Within Me' was the first and most important lesson of all. Without my acceptance and willingness to embrace the essence of it . . . none of the others would have been possible.

Essentially, if I am currently unhappy with certain things within my life . . . and I want something to change . . . ​I have the ​power to create positive change. Can I change it exactly into what I want ? Maybe . . . maybe not ! ​However, I can do my best to change it by moving it into a different and  positive direction to the best of my ability; and what I have found is that it will be better than what it otherwise would be ! ! !

In time I learned, that the most effective and easiest way to create positive change is to change me. I know . . . this is not what most of us believe. However, it is true, whether we see it or not ! Positive change happens when I become aware of and take full responsibility for my contribution to the outcomes in my life . . . and I deliberately begin changing me.
 
Once I recognized how my ‘Inner World’ plays a significant role in how I experience my ‘Outer World’ and consequently how I react to it, I became more ready and willing to change me. It starts by learning to shift my ‘Inner World’ ! 'When I change my Inner World my Outer World begins to change with it'.
 
This is off course true in either direction . . . positive or negative. This is why some people’s lives continue to downward spiral with their often increasingly worse attitude; while others seem to thrive as they find courage and support in their positive perspective despite the challenges that they face.
 
What does my ‘Inner World’ consist of ? I’m glad you asked. It is a combination of my Thoughts, my Feelings, my Beliefs, Perceptions, and Opinions . . . as well as my Actions and Inactions; including the words that I speak or don’t speak, and the tone (Vibration or Energy) that I create through it all and
subsequently radiate into my world. This Vibration is what makes up my 'Energy Body'.

This quote is the foundation of my journey within these pages and it remains a continued lesson for me to learn !

I have now fully accepted that life was and continues to insist on teaching me certain Lessons . . . whether I want to learn them or not . . . and that I will not be able to escape learning them if I want to grow and evolve beyond where I currently am. Furthermore, I know this also holds true for any given moment going forward. 

When I started my journey of seeking change . . . in the late 80's . . . I didn't know how I needed to Change. I only knew that something needed to change . . . and since my 'outside world' did not seem to want to change to make me happy, I finally accepted that it must be me who needed to change.

​And so, my never-ending journey of continuous and deliberate Self-Discovery begun ! Even today, with as far as I have come, I know now that this journey is far from over . . . in fact, it is a daily endeavor to be discovered, to be nurtured, and to unfold ! What a ride.
​


Picture
Although this 'webBook' currently contains only a fraction of my actual work, it is a powerful and constantly evolving Toolbox of some of my most valuable and life-changing discoveries. It includes some of my most affirmative and empowering information, Life Lessons, Tools, techniques, concepts, and processes that I have discovered, learned, and used along my path. I am also sharing some of my most valuable Resources, and Links, Affirmations, Affirmative Prayers,  Guided Meditations and more . . . for the purpose of my own continued personal growth and development . . .
​as well as for benefiting whomever my work may touch. 


What you see here is what has and is working for me every day, and I am convinced that much of it can and will work for anyone who is genuinely interested in seeking a happier and more abundant life !

Much of my work is nothing new, it's been around for a long time and it has been talked about by many teachers in many different ways. What was new for me was learning it, molding it into something that makes sense and works for me, and then using and practicing it on a daily basis until it becomes an integrated part of me and/or until the lesson is learned and I can move on.

Picture
I know that much of what you see here is nothing that ever gets done completely . . . but rather it is an ongoing process of learning and practicing along my journey of co-creating a life I want to live and experience . . . a life of maximizing living in the greatest Joy and Abundance that I have available to me and that I am meant to live . . . whatever that may turn out to be.


Who is my toolbox for ? 
It is for anyone who is genuinely seeking to feel happier and more abundant in their life . . . but it is especially for anyone who is committed to seeking 'real' change and who is committed to doing the 'Inner Work' that is required to accomplish this Change. 

Some of you may have doubts. You may think that it is not meant for you to be happy or abundant . . .
or you may think that you are not included in the realm of having a happier and more abundant life  . . . or perhaps you may think that you are in some way not good enough or smart enough. Let me assure you that this type of thinking is absolutely not true ! Absolutely anyone at all can reach a state of feeling and being happier and more abundant going forward than what they are right at this very moment; by learning and applying some of these basic principles and techniques.  
There are No Exclusions and there are No Exceptions !

I know this from my own experience, because I used to be one of those doubters . . . and if you are thinking that I am more gifted or more special than you are, then your 'Mind Chatter' is telling you a  story that is
incorrect and not true. Furthermore, your mind chatter is convincing you that it is true !
Your task then, is to begin to change the story you are telling yourself and turn it into a different, better, more pleasant story . . . and then, make a habit of repeatedly telling yourself this different and better story . . . until it makes your heart sing and you eventually become it !

What special skills are needed to do this 'Inner Work' ?
In my opinion . . . anyone who is what I call a genuine ‘Seeker’ of feeling more joyful and abundant in their life can learn to be more joyful and abundant than what they currently are.

Skills Required:

1) Willingness to Change me . . . not others. 
2) An Open Mind - to try different/new approaches different from what was used in the past.
3) Strong Intentions  . . . they help make clear decisions in a definite direction.
​    Plans, Resolve, Determination, Persistence / Stick-to-itiveness.
4) Spending the time to Learn . . . because the right information is power.
5) Your Full Attention during the time spend !
6) Apply and Practice what is learned i.e. Follow-Through . . . information in itself has little value.

If you have taken a look at my 'Tools' or my 'Lessons' sections on this website, you may think that it couldn't be that simple. However don't let the appearance of the simplicity of these tools and lessons fool you. Because although they are simple in nature when you look at them, they are certainly not nearly as easy to integrate and apply on a moment to moment basis within our daily lives.

For most of us, it takes a fair amount of shift in
Self-Awareness, Willingness, Commitment, and Practice to implement and eventually embody and master these tools and lessons. However, incremental results of improvement can often be noticed fairly quickly.

As you can see on my Resources page, I have studied and learned from many well-known contemporary spiritual teachers; and I am forever grateful to each and every one of them for sharing their knowledge and their wisdom with me. They have helped me experience an increasingly better, more prosperous, more joyful and fulfilled life. If you are familiar with some of their work you'll see their influence shine through in the content of these pages. 
                                                                    I am so Grateful ! 

The creation of 'My Wisdom Board' (below) was my initial Inspiration for writing and publishing my 'webBook' on this website. I know that everything that I learn and embrace about what's on this board . . . and even more . . . is the Key to how and what amount of happiness and abundance I experience in my life. I have learned this to be true. I KNOW IT !
