Pro-Prosperity or Anti-Recession: Which Do YOU Choose?

Sure enough, I opened my internet explorer this morning and one of the headlines read
“Greenspan says recession more than 50% likely”. That is the last time you will hear me mention that quote in this article as I would like to keep my lunch digesting in the correct direction.

Again, it goes back to the ripple effect and how positive and negative thoughts can create more of the same. When you read a headline like the one above do you think “Yes! It’s going to be a stellar year?” or do your thoughts start reeling about how you’re going to keep your job so you can pay your mortgage, feed and clothe your family? Do you settle for this just being how it is and hope for the best?

If you have seen the much raved about “The Secret” then you will remember that thoughts become things and that if we focus our attention on negative thoughts and feelings that is what we will surely attract more of.

You hear about the War on Terrorism all over the news today, but do you ever hear any demonstrations of Pro-Peace? Instead of holding up signs reading"Stop the Drilling", how about holding signs made out of recyclable products that read "Let’s Work Together and Bring Back the Rainforest". I think you see my point here.

The title of my blog is Pro-Prosperity or Anti-Recession, which do you choose? They may have the same meaning behind them, yet are very different. Look at the words "pro" and "prosperity". Both are positive in thought and action. Now think of "anti" and "recession", both words have negative connotations. It is simple as choosing a new perspective on how to look at things.

Each of us thinks a million thoughts a day. You have the power to choose your thoughts. If thinking one positive thought a day would help bring the world more peace and abundance, would you be willing to do that? I invite you over the coming weeks to come up with one positive thought, just one a day, write it down. This is something you can do upon waking, while brushing your teeth or driving to work. Once you have the thought, say it silently or out loud, and send out those ripples. We are all connected. In one way or another, your positive thought will touch us all.

I’ll start it off with this blog. I choose Pro-Prosperity, Pro-Life, Pro-Love and have plenty of abundance to share with the Universe. Please share this with everyone you know and if you desire, respond with your positive thought to this blog starting the Yes We Can campaign.

What do you choose?

The Ripples Were Good

The ripples were good……

Excerpt taken from Joan of Arcadia (circa 2003):

Helen (reading suicide note from Adam's mom): Dearest boy, my Adam. I dreamed a dream, you and I facing each other in a tiny yellow boat on green water under a blue sky. Me and my son and a yellow boat. And we laugh, and the boat rocks and the ripples spread from the boat to pond to sea to sky and nothing can stop them, and nothing ever will. When you think of me Adam, know that in a world of pain, you were, and always will be my joy. Love mom

Adam: Thank you

Joan: The ripples were good.

In this world of negativity, I am pulled to look at how one person’s ripple effect can create a world of positive change. When I speak of the ripple effect, I speak of how one person’s actions or reactions can affect another’s (even without them being aware) and so on and so on and so on. We see this in the film Pay it Forward and in the much loved, but cancelled television show Joan of Arcadia.

Just the other day, I was approached by a young woman and the first words out of her mouth were “excuse me, I’m not a gang member, I’m not going to hurt you” and then she preceded to tell me the story of how she was stuck in my town of San Ramon with no way to get back to her hometown of Tracy. She had left her debit card at home and had no cash with her. I quickly reached for my wallet and took out every last bit of change I had and said “wait, I think I have a dollar in my car too”. Sure enough there was a dollar bill that had been sitting in the ashtray for months! Remind me to come back to that dollar, will you? I give the girl the money, tell her “when you have a chance, kindly pay it forward” and then ended with “bless you”. I think she was floored that first of all I gave her the money and then ended with a “bless you”. When I got in my truck to leave, I was thinking what her life must be like to assume that I am going to think she is a gang member and going to hurt me.

It’s been said that the outer world is a reflection of our inner world. The reason I don’t watch the news at all in the morning, afternoon or night is because you are immediately bombarded with all the chaos, confusion and negative energy that runs through the electrical wires with creepy energy and into your home. All you hear is who is to blame for what and why we need to be afraid. If this is 80% of what we see in our newspapers, television and radio ads, what must be going on in the inner world of humanity? More of the same?

The time is NOW for people to make a stand and say NO MORE! If one person could visualize what is available to them when fear and doubt can be overcome, imagine the ripple effect that would create.

And speaking of the dollar bill in my glove box, how LUCKY and GRATEFUL I am to be able to have that just sitting there for months and months. I am living in abundance.

Will you join me and the others who have bravely stood up to say Yes We Can?
(thank you to my good friend Scott who linked me to the video above)

We can be the change we want to see in the world....yes we can!

Will You Join Me?

I have created this blog site to discuss the ways that we (yes, all of us) can collectively connect with the Universal Energy to create the much needed change our world needs. Stay tuned for my first blog coming soon.

Peace and light to all mankind,
