Book Review: "Summers Path" by Scott Blum
I haven't read a book from start to finish in a LOOOONNNGGG time. Today I read "Summer's Path" by Scott Blum. It surrounds a story of a man who is suffering from cancer and his journey of a spiritual awakening through the help of an angel he meets in his dreams.
This is a must read for anyone who has ever felt disconnected from spirit and/or suffering from a physical pain that has emotional roots from their past. My mother was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and she is undergoing treatment and though I have known about cancer for a while it is interesting what you learn and experience when it hits home. I don't know the exact number but a large percentage of cancer has been linked to unresolved anger or issues in one's life. That particular point is heavily referenced in the book and what begins the journey for "Don" the main character.
There are several principles highlighted in this book that can help anyone uncover past pains and deep seated issues to then go on an heal those wounds of the past. I have noticed myself how it effects so many of us in the way we live our lives, choose our relationships, careers, etc. So many can benefit from the message of the text in this book.
I also want to say that once you start reading you can't put it down. You are glued to the page throughout the story and it has a transformative effect on the reader. The reason I think so many will identify with the story is that DON is very resistant to the suggestions of the spiritual angel ROBERT. So many of us do not like to listen to the messages that come to us because we are in disbelief of their merit and existence as reality.
One of the main principles discussed in the latter parts of the book is the principle of embodiment. How so many of us are not living in our bodies. We truly are not in touch with the house we live in. It even has a wonderful exercise to help you to better connect on three levels. Spiritual awareness, emotional awareness, and physical awareness. I know many of you reading this may not be aware of exactly what that means and how to achieve it or even believe it is possible but I encourage you to expand your mind. You will be touched by DON's and ROBERTS journey.
There is also a part in the book that I think is really important and goes back to the pains of the past. Some people believe in the existence of past lives. Well the book speaks to how the lifespan of a soul is related to a lesson they must learn before they can move on. Once you learn it you pass on to the next journey. I believe this is true and that speaks to what one of my mentors, David Neagle, suggests that we choose the parents we are born to. We continue to choose paths that will allow for us to learn the lesson we need to learn and we will continue to go through the pain in all lifetimes till we learn it. So I say learn it this go round it saves a lot of time and grief.
Here is the best part of all this is the first in a two book series. The second book picks up with ROBERT and DON's journey in the next phase and is set up with the ending of this one. That book was just released April 7, 2009 and can be bought on amazon.com or borders.com. It is called "Waiting for Autumn". I am already hoping that there will be a winter and spring book following this next one.
Stay tuned to the blog to find out about my review of "Waiting for Autumn" . I am excited I am supposed to receive it today in the mail. You can find out more about the author and his books at www.scottblum.net. Right now he is giving away "Summers Path" for free with a purchase of "Waiting for Autumn" so don't wait get them both right now and Happy reading!
Moral of the story is heal yourself of your past and the future that awaits and is waiting on you will have happiness and riches untold!
Thanks for reading and until next time..I am your infoqueen!

Missed Connection: Story of the Woulda, Shoulda, Coulda
No I am not talking in terms of flights. I have a confession to make for entertainment I read Craigslist missed connections. When I was younger and lived in DC I used to read the DC City paper's I saw you section same principle. Anyway the truth of the matter is I am a bit disappointed. Sure at one point I dreamt of being the subject of a missed connection/I saw you. But not anymore now I am just sad for those involved
For those of you not sure what I am talking about I will make a bit clearer for you. Basically someone i.e you saw someone that you found fetching alluring if you will but for whatever reason you didn't tell them or act you just "missed the connection". Now here is my big grievance there doesn't have to be missed connections. I mean what is the point of stealing glances at the girl in the red sweater or the guy in the wire rimmed glasses on the train, bus, or at the bar only to chicken out and not act on our impulse. Then you are haunted by that feeling of my favorite triplets woulda, shoulda, and coulda!. Anyone out there know what I am talking about?
Ok sure She/He might have stared at ya like you had 3 heads if you would have said something. Or you could have been the face they have been looking for their whole life. My point is this, why obsess over the very thing you didn't do only to put a post on a website or a newspaper hoping that one person, vaguely described by what they were wearing, a first name, or a brief exchange, would see it and know it was them you were talking/dreaming about. I mean isn't meeting people hard enough without us making it that much harder.
I encourage all of you talk to the girl at the Starbucks who smiles at you everyday in a way that makes you feel its just for you. Actually tell the guy who you see on the way to work everyday that he has the most beautiful eyes you have ever seen. At the very least you will make their day with such interactions. Go ahead Ask them out, tell them what you have longed to say. One of two things will follow after that...they will be flattered thank you and maybe even accept an invitation for coffee, drinks, or whatever people are doing these days for casual meet ups. Secondly they could say "UM no thanks already taken" whatever but YOU WILL AT KNOW. You won't walk through life telling your kids a story about how if you had talked to red sweater in the bar she might be your mother instead..LOL! Guys/Gals REJECTION is never personal!
But Seriously Carpe DIEM you live only once. They might be feeling that you are their missed connection and that is the beginning of your love story. Anything has got to be better than sending out a post to the universe hoping that thee Guy or Girl (object of your intention/affection) will respond with a resounding I was waiting for you to say something.
So cut the suspense save the drama for the movies and Tell Him/Her how you FEEL. Suddenly you aren't beating yourself over the head and at the very least I don't have to read one more MIssed connection of a love starved soul who didn't think they were worthy to speak to a total stranger!
Are you allowing any missed connections in your life? Ask me how to convert into a real thing!

Where did the Dark go?
Just wanted to share a very insightful article written by one of my Mentors David Neagle.
People who are able to move rapidly into higher and higher incomes develop a greater awareness of their personal world and what is being created in their personal world. Let me explain the difference between two important words that will assist you in using this lesson to your greatest advantage.
Consciousness vs. Awareness:
People who get stuck in their current reality even though they have a sound understanding of universal laws and personal and business creation principles are not as unconscious as many would think. It's very easy for someone to put these people in a box and say "They are unconscious of what they are doing." After working with many people who have had this "being-stuck-in-their-current-reality-problem," I can tell you that most of them are very conscious of the situation!
Consciousness (or being conscious of what you are being, doing and creating) is a proactive & deliberate intention on the part of the creator. However, it is only the first step in the realization of just how powerful and magnificent you really are. Consciousness sees and understands duality, and it can also get stuck there, which is why you will commonly hear conscious people ask "HOW" to do something i.e. "How do I raise my income to a million?"
There is an intellectual understanding at this level and some conscious deliberate creation has been experienced, but that is as far as it goes. The Conscious Creator will then commonly look for another model to use to change their circumstance and more often than not discovers that it does not work for them the way they had expected. They are very conscious of this.
Understanding awareness is the magic key, so to speak, that dissolves the nature of your reality and allows you to move from one reality to another at will. Awareness itself and by itself is an experience. It's not something you do, but it is what you are.
"Aware people" change their reality as they see fit. When they are done experiencing one reality they simply step into another one. Consciousness wants to know how first and then make changes and then experience. Awareness is all about stepping into the experience first then playing in that experience. To make this very simple, it's much like turning on the lights in a dark room. When you flip the light switch, light fills the room - but where did the dark go? Seriously, where DID the dark go? In truth, it didn't go anywhere - it's still there all around you. If you don't believe me just flip the light switch off and see what happens. You may want to do this several times & really think about what you are experiencing.
Now think about this a bit more in the dark room. You are conscious of the things in the room, but you still see problems because you can't seem to navigate through the dark. When you flip the light switch, your reality changes INSTANTLY and now you can see what you couldn't see before - even though you consciously knew things were there! Because of intellectual understanding, you couldn't see the way. All you could do was attempt to navigate your way around, which is the process of consciously thinking about what you are doing first, THEN receiving feedback from your environment, and lastly reacting to what you PERCEIVE your experience to be. Yes, it's a mouthful but just sit with it for a while...
Okay, now lets move into a making a Quantum Leap...
Many people would love to know HOW to increase their income and better their individual circumstances. The key to leapfrogging (and not stair-stepping ), is to ask, "By staying in my current situation, what purpose is this serving?." You see, awareness turns on the light every place there is dark. Discover WHY you would resist stepping into a different reality - and by discover, I literally mean become aware of why (don't just repeat back what you think) then everything begins to change. Awareness = Quantum leaps. Period. No awareness, no quantum leap.
Would you like to know where your light switch is? Then let me suggest that you attend one of my upcoming live events so I can guide you personally. Just send an email to events@davidneagle.com and one of my team will be in touch to help you decide which of my upcoming live coaching sessions is best for you.
Remember: the reality you want to experience is only a flick of the switch away from you, but you need to be aware of where the switch is.

435 am wake up call
I received a text at 435 am this morning that was a wake up call in more ways than one. I want to talk today about RESPONSIBILITY. What the text said isn't the story it is what it didn't say that is the story. How many times have you told yourself a story that has gotten you somewhere in life you didn't want to be?
I was awakened to a reality happening in so many lives day after day after day. Oftentimes we don't like to take responsibility for our lives. When we are running late for work it is the traffic's fault for why we didn't make it on time. When we aren't happy at our jobs its because we have "Bad" bosses or co workers. How many of you know what I am talking about? Have felt like life is happening to us and our actions aren't always motivated by us. Well I am here to tell you giving power over to others by thinking it is "They" who did this to us, gets us nowhere.
I want to talk about Choice for a moment. We were all given one thing different than any other life on this planet FREE WILL. I have never been much of a church going person but I can assure you I caught that we all were given the power of CHOICE in our lives. Thats what separates us from animals. My wake up call was surrounding this. A friend in trouble and not realizing that their CHOICES led them to the very undesirable result. The hardest thing is it is tearing a family apart. Leaving Children damaged etc. I won't harp on the negative it is a sad reality of this particular situation. Refusing to see your Choices have led you to exactly where you are up to this point in life. Are you happy with the choices you are making?
Probably the best question to ask is how many of you realize that you are RESPONSIBLE for your life and the state in which you find yourself. In other words if you are in any kind of situation which you deem unreliable you still have a choice. Once you are an adult the best gift you can give yourself is taking full RESPONSIBILITY for your life. My friend has not been able to deal with that fact and is now facing some pretty serious consequences. Over the years many of her friends and family have made excuses, come to the rescue, etc. All this has done is perpetuated the illusion that she is a victim in her life and therefore not responsible for her circumstances. How many of you have felt like victims?
It is only natural to feel powerless or like a victim in many situations. And I even submit that we can be victimized but it is staying in that role where the harm is really done. At what point do we exercise our right to choose to change our circumstance. We have all had things go wrong in our lives for one reason or another but it is how we frame it that determines what it manifests for us. In other words are you aware that all of your CHOICES make you who you are today and therefore have prepared you for greater things. Once you take responsibility and stop telling yourself things are happening to you for which you have no control Life gets better.
I am writing to speak of a wake up call. One that comes like a voice in the night to say WAKE UP! Stop blaming and start reframing. Whatever it is we have the power to change it in an instant. Not one among you reading this doesn't have a story that someone wouldn't say oh poor you. But that isn't the story of your life....The real story is how that experienced shaped you or made you into the wonderful person you are now. I got that very same wake up call about how I was blaming others for my past. It is the realization that I have the power to now say that was the past and to continue to blame is Choosing to be a victim i the presence and I a harming only me. Sometimes it isn't just you that it hurts. What about when there are children involved. They have no way to choose to live elsewhere. How many people have taken our bad decisions/choices out on those around us?
I know this is a bit heavy for any subject but if one person is moved to take RESPONSIBILITY from this and make different choices well then the heaviness was worth it. You have the POWER to make anything happen in your life that you choose. You are either planting good seeds or bad seeds and then pleased or disappointed with the fruit it bears. Remember who planted the seeds. If you have children what are you teaching them through your actions. How many of you have family who maybe we need not enable anymore. Tough love is very tough to do but the very thing needed at times. We all have CHOICES to make so make GOOD ones but whatever the choice take RESPONSIBILITY for it!.
It is early and I a sure I am rambling and this isn't all coming out the way I wish...but I think the gist is clear. I am saddened by the wake up call that I got but it is a reminder to me on how CHOICE is there waiting on me and I must make one or two or three to change my life for the better. My friend will go through some tough times but the fact of the matter is it may be just what she needs to get her wake up call and I shat rob her of that experience though it will be hard to not help. That is one other lesson I have learned along the way in life and also even more recently. I am only responsible for me and can't save everyone else. Sometimes people have to go through the pain or consequence of their choice to have their wake up call. It is not for you or anyone else to take away their lesson or interfere with their blessing.
So ask yourself are you taking RESPONSIBILITY and making CHOICES that net the RESULTS you want? If so Congratulations if not it is NEVER too late! And ask yourself in what way am I robbing others by excusing their choices and trying to bail them out of their problems all the time? If you are then make the difficult decision to CHOOSE to not do it any longer though it may hurt to do so. If you are taking responsibility for you and only you then again Congratulations!
I wish all the very best in life and the most amazing RESULTS! So go out there and Create the life you want. It only takes an instant to see sunshine where there was once rain. Life is about the journey and there are many roads so.....
CHOOSE WISELY and Enjoy!

So ask yourself are you taking RESPONSIBILITY and making CHOICES that net the RESULTS you want? If so Congratulations if not it is NEVER too late! And ask yourself in what way am I robbing others by excusing their choices and trying to bail them out of their problems all the time? If you are then make the difficult decision to CHOOSE to not do it any longer though it may hurt to do so. If you are taking responsibility for you and only you then again Congratulations!
I wish all the very best in life and the most amazing RESULTS! So go out there and Create the life you want. It only takes an instant to see sunshine where there was once rain. Life is about the journey and there are many roads so.....
CHOOSE WISELY and Enjoy!

Moral: Glass is always half full
As many people know we are in one of the worst economic crisis' of our time. Granted we aren't in bread lines like those during the "Great Depression" however the media and most people are driving the gloom home. I want to inspire hope rather than add on to the negative hype out there currently. I must admit I almost drank the Kool-aid and was ready to believe the economy was going to get us all. I spoke to several of my friends who had been laid off from jobs some of them really great companies who I wouldn't have thought would have been affected. I started to be concerned for the overall mentality of those close to me. Everytime you turned around someone was saying well you know in this economy or with the economy the way it is...well I am here to say ENOUGH.
I actually see what is happening as a bit of blessing of sorts. Yes, I know many are wondering how they are going to pay their bills or feed their families but it doesn't have to mean the end of the road. Did you know that JD Rockefeller made more money during the great depression than any other time in history? Warren Buffett, the richest man in america, says he has been waiting for this time to come. More opportunity for those who seek it is present in THIS ECONOMY than those of booming time. I simply challenge you to use this time to start a business that will flourish in this economy. The best business ideas are just those that provide solutions to problems. Well as we all know we have our share of problems that need solutions. I can tell you this lady is seeking out her own golden opportunities to be the next Warren Buffett, Donald Trump, or JD Rockefeller. So instead of talking about the economy which admittedly we can't really affect on a large scale we should focus on our economy. Yes that's right I said our economy. Your economy is independent of THE economy. While everyone else is talking about recession, depression, and can it get any worse you can be focusing on can it get any better. I know people who are having their best years ever. It is all about framing and attitude. Ask yourself are you gonna participate in the general populations fascination with a sinking ship or are you on your yacht sailing on calm waters. I know it sort of sounds like nonsense but it is just that simple to change the way you look at the glass. It isn't half empty it is half full. No actual physical change took place just one persons view interpreted it one way and another saw it completely different. So simple we complicate it. I intend to become a millionaire in this ECONOMY and am well on my way with plenty of company are you willing to join me and create something out of nothing????
