Keep Calm and Dream On

11/3/2022

This week started with me feeling mentally scattered and unfocused.   With all of the external circumstances (elections, violence, war, etc.) going on in the world, I found my mental thought process jumping around as I asked myself the following questions?
  • Is it true is it not?
  • What are the facts?
  • What is the real story?
And this scatteredness continued was even after I did morning yoga, which is known to calm you down, remove external chatter, and connect you to your heart.  So obviously yoga wasn't working for me.  Then I saw something on the news that calmed me down, removed the external chatter and connected me to my heart in under 60 seconds....

$1 Billion+ Powerball

Yup, you heard me.  The Powerball number jumped out at me and suddenly I found my thought process to become crystal clear.  It was time to...

Dream Big!

There is a lot of opportunity to dream with the potential of $1 Billion+ Dollars!  First thing I did was race out of the house on Monday and purchase a Powerball ticket and then the dreaming began.  I made my initial list:  Where would I live?  I still would live in Kent where I am even though the construction across the street has been annoying.  There is a certain energy to Kent - a mix of Northern Exposure and Yellowstone that inspires me to stay there.  My Monday list:  
  • Speed up the conversion of the Kent House,
  • Finish the projects at the Kent Emporium,
  • Build a small house on my 20 acres near Loran, Illinois (15 minutes down the road),
  • Travel to every little town in Vermont (251 Club),
  • Buy a truck (as the small house would be on a gravel road - wait - I could have the road paved...hmmmm),
  • Continue with building my practice in Kent - sounds baths, shamanic reiki workshop offerings, plus other programs to support the community.
It was interesting to realize that my dreams really didn't change, just the speed of implementation.  I would still be focusing on exactly what I'm creating now.  It felt good to know that dreaming about what I would do with my money pointed out that I'm congruent and living my extraordinary life on my own terms already.

When I awoke on Tuesday the first thing that popped into my head was - "If I won - would I select the annuity or the cash option?"  This odd question led me to focus on establishing a strong foundation for my new future: 
  • Number of days I have before notifying the Lottery Board (check),
  • Financial Advisor (check),
  • Lawyer (check),
  • Short-term plan (check),
  • Annuity or Cash Payout (still undecided)

On Wednesday, I expanded my list to local organizations that I would donate to:
  • Freeport Art Museum
  • Timberlake Playhouse
  • Rosecrance Freeport (Mental Health)

On Thursday, I decided to expand my business portfolio and purchase the cheese plant across the street and convert it into artisan cheese manufacturing facility that infuses healing plant music into their products (very cutting edge).  

By Friday, I decided to take a step back and I realized that..

My heart knows what is best for me!

The external circumstances of the doom and gloom world swirling around me was just a distraction tactic to drain my energy and focus away from what really matters and instead focus on fear.  By focusing on my big dream, I broke the global "fear" spell and took back my power to dream big and go beyond the current chaos.  The big lesson I learned from this past week...

Don't get caught up in the chaos. 

If you are looking for some perspective, this chaos is similar to remodeling a kitchen.  You have to destroy the old kitchen before you lay the foundation for the new kitchen (trust me I've been there!!!).  If you get caught up in the chaos (fear, anger, I'm right/you're wrong), you are energizing what you don't want.  Now is the time to put your focus and your energy on the kind of future you want to create...
  • loving community
  • authentic friendships
  • safe neighborhoods
  • supportive gatherings
  • joyful employment

It's time to dream in a more beautiful world!
