Runaway Cart

A luggage cart with 3 bins full of products and materials, a backpack on my back stuffed to the gills and a weight scale on my other shoulder. Going down hill the luggage cart seems a little off… I stop and look at it – it looks just as it did when it felt...balanced. So I just keep going down the hill. It seems like its leaning or pulling or could tilt over at any moment. It doesn’t feel quite right, so again, I stop and look at it. Again, it looks fine. Now it’s time to cross the street. There is a little dip in the sidewalk so I tentatively pull it but I keep stopping to check it. There would be nothing worse then having everything topple over in the middle of the street. I make it safely across the street. So I figure I’m home free and ignore the fact that it still doesn’t feel quite right. I check again but only with my sight. I take one more step and topple topple topple, it all falls down.

As I was picking up the pieces, I said to myself, "I knew it just didn’t feel right." How many times a day do you say that? It is the ignorings that occur gradually over time that cause the seemingly sudden topple’s. If I had stopped and actually taken the action to adjust the boxes on the cart, versus just looking at them, I would have saved myself not only from the actual topple, but from the feeling of anx when I was crossing the street. But instead, I chose to look and take no action. It felt off balance and that is what I should have paid attention to. In life, we often ignore and ignore and ignore. We give ourselves credit for “looking” but taking action on what we see is what will save us from the anx and topples of life.

Stop the cart, look at it, and then adjust the boxes and the cart until they feel just right.
When they shift, and they will, because there are hills and valleys along the way, stop, look and adjust again until it feels just right. "Feeling right" is the meter to choose this month.

I would love to know what those of you that chose to take the action to sign up for this blog, would like to have accomplished in the next 6 months? I would like us to help each other get it. If you would like to do a little more than look at the cart, I invite you to start adjusting the boxes by signing up for this ccnaction blog page as a "follower" so every time our loved ones tell us we should be living "afraid" we can know that we are not alone and have the courage to take aligned actions anyway. Go to http://www.coreconversationsinaction.blogspot.com/ and click on "Follow." This month explore, what is keeping you from facing the fear and placing your hands on the cart until it feels "just right.

Whether you’ve been laid off, are filing bankruptcy, getting a divorce, need money to feed your kids, or are living quite well, feel content, and are overall quite happy with your life, the same laws of the universe apply: consistent action towards what feels “just right” will take care of any and every thing. In 3 months, since taking my ultimate core action by moving, I have 7 Weight Watchers meetings, work 4 days a week, have made deals with each credit card company, am putting money in savings, have my dream relationship with a loving, loving man, and I just learned in the Fall that Broom Community College will be offering my 4 week "Facing Your Financial Fears" seminars for the Fall semester which will be taught at Big Tent Cultural Center. Their catalogs are sent to thousands. 3 months! I want to see what can happen for us all if we keep consistently putting our hands on the boxes and no longer dare to cross the street of life ill at ease. I hope you'll join me by signing in at http://www.coreconversationsinaction.blogspot.com/. We are not alone.

Core Action: Stop ignoring and place your hands on the cart consistently until if feels "just right."

Request for help: I would like to fulfill the request of those interested in dialoging through Facebook. I have set up another account under "ccnaction" on Facebook but truthfully have no idea what to do next in order to give people the opportunity to dialog together. Ideally I would love the conversations to be on the blog itself so anyone tuning in can have access to the dialog and discusssions. Instead of me trying to figure it out, I'd love to hear from you on your suggestions on the best way for me to get this going. Email me the best time to contact you at ccnaction @gmail.com and I'd love 10-15 minutes of your time to discuss options.

With this blog, I do plan to be more "vocal" about what I do not know how to do. I am committed to taking actions around asking for help because all that has happened for me since moving Upstate, has happened so quickly because instead of spending time "figuring out" I spend my time doing what I can do best and allow others to do what they do best. It saves so much time and hassle. I hope to hear from a few of you computer gurus so I may be able to have the structure in place for us to begin a Core Conversations in Action dialog in June!

If you're on the blog list, look for an invitation to dialog during the month of June. Otherwise, look forward to the next Core Conversations In Action blog posting to arrive on Monday, July 6th!


To subscribe to the Core Conversations In Action blog mailing list and receive updates personally, please email me at ccnaction@gmail.com with "Please add to blog mailing list" in the subject.


Remember, being inspired is not enough, being inspired enough to take authentic consistent actions in alignment with your core, THAT is what alters life!

CORE CONVERSATIONS IN ACTION

May 4, 2009


SM MANAGEMENT'S CORE CONVERSATIONS IN ACTION EXCLUSIVE SUMMER TELESEMINAR SERIES




Someone asked me today how am I able to have so much trust in myself.
I responded with the truth. "By my heart being shattered in a million pieces." The ending of my marriage. It wasn't voluntary. But what was voluntary was my response to living beyond my greatest fear: that I was unworthy of being loved. Though I prayed for death literally when my marriage ended, by surviving beyond it, I realized that all my beliefs and lessons about the point of life were totally incorrect. At 25 I was starting from a place I had never known before - the realization that I knew absolutely nothing about life or my role in it.
I set out to get to the bottom of what is true. Finding the key to THAT DISCOVERY was more important than being right, more important than making sure my family and friends agreed with me, more important than finding that right partner and being loved, more important than anything. I believe that I have found that truth. It is not true, that we are here to suffer and sacrifice and forge alone...this is the manifestation of human conditioning based on lack and fear. We are here to learn, to grow, to love and to thrive in community and the only thing stopping us from achieving profound abundance, peace and prosperity is ourselves. We are afraid to live from our truths.

The shattering of my heart was the greatest thing that ever happened to me. I had spent my life being a professional actress. I had obtained everything I ever wanted -great career, great reviews, great roles, and earning all of my income from acting. I had attained externally everything I wanted but I always felt like something was missing. But at my core, I didn't love who I was and that truth had a profound effect on all aspects of my life. It was why I ended up in my marriage in the first place. Just because we may not be willing to admit the inauthenticities doesn't mean that they don't exist. Eventually, if we remain inauthentic, it catches up to us (current economic situation). We can't heal or fix the issue if we haven't first identified what the issue is. The "fixes" - money, marriage, career, relationship, food etc. causes other issues because the real one hasn't yet been identified so therefore it can't be healed. We can save ourselves the shattered hearts by going beyond the surface to the core. We are all connected and TOGETHER we can help each other get out of our own way by being willing to admit, identify, and face our greatest fears so we may live our truth. It's well worth it.

My life is now unrecognizable. I'm a business owner and I spend my time helping people shed their fears and thrive. I'm living in the country where I meditate and work out every day at a lake that is two minutes away. I have 7 Weight Watchers meetings and I just launched a brand new meeting today in a building that my mother owns (http://www.bigtentculturalcenter.com/) that is 4 doors from where I live and 51 people came to the very first meeting. I have found such peace, love and prosperity and it can never be taken away. The internals and externals are mirrors of each other. Previously I was out of alignment internally so it manifested in a relationship based on emotional abuse and a career that was fine but unfulfilling. Presently I'm living in alignment with my truth and my relationship, the opportunities and exponential growth of every single thing I've come in contact with is in complete alignment with my truth. We are here to grow, learn, love and be loved, and thrive continuously. But we must be willing to get out of our own way!


What are the key elements to getting out of our own way:

A need, desire or want for yourself and your life that has nothing to do with anyone else.
The willingness to be truthful about that need, desire and want.
The understanding of the value of having a true support system.
Willingness to take actions towards your core wants.
Willingness to love and be loved in return.
Willingness to say "I don't know."
A willingness to being financially honest, responsible & to hold yourself accountable.
To have some piece of you that believes that we are not what we fear.
Every time I've set my heart to something, it has manifested. Every single time. I know the same is true for you. The work of SM Management is building a community that will allow us to manifest from our core being and no longer play small with something as precious as our lives, consistently and continuously. Being inspired isn't enough, being inspired to the point of taking consistent authentic actions, THAT is when our lives alter.

SM MANAGEMENT'S LAUNCH OF:
CORE CONVERSATIONS IN ACTION TELESEMINAR SERIES
(Note: There must be at least 4 people and no more than 6 for the series to occur.)
There will be no sessions during the week of July 4th)

Series I
Starts Wednesday, June 3rd 7am - 8:30am
Ends Wednesday, August 26th at 8am - 9:30am
June 3, 10, 17, & 24
July 8, 15, 22, & 29
August 5, 12, 19, 26
(Next Series I will start September 9th)

Series II

Ends Saturday, August 29th at 8am - 9:30am
June 6, 13, 20, & 27
July 11, 18, & 25th
August 1, 8, 15, 22 & 29
(Next Series II will start September 12th)


Meditation will be done for 10 minutes at the beginning and end of each call.
Actions will be identified for each person (discovered through conversation) and followed through on during the week.
Talking and wanting is NOT ENOUGH. There is no way for us to understand our power and the abundance the universe has for us if we are not willing to take actions towards them. There is no other way except to face our fears head on. Collectively it will be easier to face them and that is what can build our confidence in who we are at our core.

BENEFITS FOR YOU:
To build trust in who you are.
To spend your time on this planet engaged in what you were sent here to do.
To love who you are.
To shed your shames and be healed.
To experience your dreams actually manifesting and coming true.
To find and connect with others on the same journey.
To tackle your financial fears.
To get your finances organized & in order with a system that is yours.
To live your life AS YOU.
I am interested only in those on a mission to live their lives empowered, free, in ease and abundantly. If you are "ok" with your life as it is, then this is not the teleseminar for you. The only thing to propel us forward beyond our conditioning and fears is when you've reached the place where "ok" is no longer enough. "Ok" will mean different things to different people. Whether that means that you feel like something is missing, or you feel discouraged, angry, depressed, sad or are just plain bored, or you just have a sense that there is something more, than this is the teleseminar for you. If you'd like to wake up every morning energized and in love with yourself and your life, inside & out, spiritually and financially, then this is the teleseminar for you.

Wednesday, May 13th from 7am-8:30am & Saturday, May 16th from 8am-9:30am. I will have an informational session (including 10 minute meditation) so you may get a taste of what we will be creating for the summer of 2009. If you are interested in doing the teleseminar you would need to commit to being on one of these calls. If you are unsure but want to get more information please send me an email at ccnaction@gmail.com with "teleseminar informational session" in the heading and your info and I will send you the teleconference call number.


COST:
Early Registration Fee:
If you register by May 18th it's $120.00 per month for a total of $360.00.
Registration Deadline for both series is May 25th $200 per month for a total of $600.00


If we have worked together you know that the results are far beyond and different from what you expected. You get a piece of yourself that you didn't know was missing. My rate is usually $70/hour. This is a HUGE savings to receive something that is priceless. But since this is the launch of this particular model and I am aware of my own blockages that I believe will be released from this process, it is well worth a huge reduction in the price.
Take the time this month to see if you are living the life you want and more importantly if you are not, what are you willing to do about it?
