Lately, television and newspapers have been saturated with so much sadness.  Stories of people making their transition before they have had a chance to live; tales of wonderful people bought to their knees by illness; recent events involving hard-working couples’ falling prey to mortgage foreclosures are running rampant throughout our society.  These are the events that have hypnotized us into believing that we are victims, unwilling partners in a game headed for destruction.  Feeling powerless, we keep telling “stories” of lack, impending doom and financial destruction and if we are not the ones telling the stories, we certainly are intently listening to them and willingly passing them on.  We unknowingly weaken our beliefs, our consciousness every time we participate, actively or passively, in these kinds of conversations.  Beliefs are just a set of opinions that we regard as factual.  Our “facts” or beliefs about escalating prices, economic disasters and impending illness are the key that activates the various laws of cause and effect.  We must learn to change our focus and tell different stories.  I often say our conversations, our thoughts must mostly consist of what is right with our lives and less of what is wrong.  If you are finding this difficult to achieve, then you must look at what you believe.  If you are always sick, every supervisor you have had treats you unfairly and you are constantly robbing Peter to pay Paul, then your life is speaking volumes about what you believe.  It is time for you to focus your attention on your negative parent thoughts and eliminate them; not gradually, but with deliberate and purposeful intention.  
     In order to live the life we were created to live, we must start to tell different stories, have different conversations.  We all have the same amount of time, how we utilize our time determines our success.  The difference between people living their best lives now and people, who are not, is consciousness.  Because we do not have any time to squander, start right not to think about something that made you feel good.  When you awaken every morning, think of something that happened the day before that made you feel good.  Before you fall asleep at night, always think of something that happened during the day that made you feel good.  As you begin to focus on good things, you will attract more good things, thereby, giving you material for telling better stories. 
Remember, life is too short to drink cheap champagne.  Dream Big! Life the life you have imagined.

     There are a few phrases we hear continuously that give us some of the keys for success, eg.,  just go with the flow; if it doesn’t fit, don’t force it and whatever will be, will be.  When we hear these, we have no idea how much insight they give us about manifesting the physical experience we desire. 
     With the new discoveries in science and medicine, we now know that we are more than our bodies; we are comprised of a mind, a body, thoughts and feelings.  With all this knowledge, we are still uncertain as to how all this works.  According to the Biology of Belief it has also been scientifically proven that our beliefs influence our health and even our DNA.  We read countless stories that support the knowledge that belief influences our personal and professional success.  With all the new discoveries and scientific documentation, we still attempt to manipulate people, our surroundings and God, only to discover that it does not work.  If we could truly pray believing and trusting the Universe we would have the answers to all our questions.
     The Universe does not respond to or is it moved by our manipulations.  It is directed by our beliefs.  Because of this, a better use of our actions is to heal the disconnection between what we pray for and what we talk about. 
     We pray for financial prosperity but we overlook the prosperity that surrounds us and then we further betray our prayers by affirming a harsh stubborn economy without really knowing what this means.  We recently received news that the recession ended two years ago but we are still talking about and believing in a recession.  The Universe must manifest our beliefs.  Instead of crying out God, help me, choose to use your time healing the belief and conversations that are the cause of the problem. 
     As I learn more about the essence of my being, I know I am required to keep my thoughts on Spirit, the Living one, purify my beliefs, forgive, be of service to others, expand my imagination and go with the flow.  If your heart and mind agree every experience will yield fruits of prosperity.
     Remember, life is too short to drink cheap champagne.  Dream Big!  Live the life you have imagined.

Never limit your view of life by any past experience. The possibility for Life is inherent within the capacity to imagine what life is. It is not a question of failing or succeeding. It is simply a question of sticking to an idea until it becomes a tangible realty (Science of Mind, pg 187).

Our testament to the magnificence of the universe, is the lesson we teach. Everyone we come in contact with learns by how we live our life. #champagneconnection #lifeistooshorttodrinkcheapchampagne #empowermentdoctor

Because we do not always follow the divine plan for our lives, coming face to face with seeming failure is imminent. But when we are patient and refuse to label our adventures as good or bad, we are able to experience a resurrection and all unpleasant situations will simply fade away, leaving only its bittersweet nectar of success. #champagneconnection #lifeistooshorttodrinkcheapchampagne #empowermentdoctor

Thursday, January 28, 2016


At times, life’s lessons seem to be too numerous and so overwhelming we throw our arms in the air convinced that we are powerless, unable to manage our lives, unable to control our destiny. This is the time to remember—all things come to pass—and the universe cannot fail us or forsake us. Its sole purpose is to support us. #champagneconnection #lifeistooshorttodrinkcheapchampagne #empowermentdoctor

No matter what your dream of passion is, zealously embrace it. The Creator quietly awaits your awakening, eager to guide you along the road to one of your greatest discoveries—your Higher Self. #champagneconnection #lifeistooshorttodrinkcheapchampagne #empowermentdoctor

Tuesday, January 26, 2016


When we ignore the call of the universe to follow our heart’s desire, our souls shrivel and wither away, never allowing us a true glimpse of Spirit’s abundance. Without Spirit’s abundance, we are disconnected from our constant source of power and growth becomes impossible. #champagneconnection #lifeistooshorttodrinkcheapchampagne #empowermentdoctor

Monday, January 25, 2016


Living without challenges is not what life is about. How we respond is the key. When you are called up to bat, open your eyes, visualize the home run you are about to make. Swing. Let go and let God do the rest. #champagneconnection #lifeistooshorttodrinkcheapchampagne #empowermentdoctor

If the circumstances of your life are not as fulfilling, as you want them to be, start to envision a new life. Get specific. Honestly, review your current situation and get busy, right where you are. Start establishing goals. Do not give into the temptation to assess your life by the achievements of others. #champagneconnection #lifeistooshorttodrinkcheapchampagne #empowermentdoctor

Difficulties arise to give us new insights and to show us more ways to express love. Work on making your reaction to any uncertainty one of peace and thanksgiving. These opportunities did not come to destroy; they came to bring a blessing. #champagneconnection #lifeistooshorttodrinkcheapchampagne #empowermentdoctor

Friday, January 22, 2016


Endless possibilities are created through our visionary power. What we are able to see is always what we will get. When challenges appear in your life, do you see good or bad? #champagneconnection #lifeistooshorttodrinkcheapchampagne #empowermentdoctor

During the course of our human path, we will not always live up to the expectations or remain within the boundaries and limitations we have defined for our lives. These seeming failures are always filled with bursts of joy. Life does not always go according to our plan because we are not the master planner. #champagneconnection #lifeistooshorttodrinkcheapchampagne #empowermentdoctor

The process of life is a perfect vehicle of growth designed and created by the Divine Presence. Because life is perfect, we are doing exactly what we should be doing in order to feed our soul and further our spiritual journey. There are no mistakes. It is our perception that needs to be adjusted. #champagneconnection #lifeistooshorttodrinkcheapchampagne #empowermentdoctor

Everyone is a divine idea in the mind of the Creator and possesses the power within to conquer all seemingly insurmountable mountains. #champagneconnection #lifeistooshorttodrinkcheapchampagne #empowermentdoctor

Monday, January 18, 2016


During the course of this event we call Life, our souls will travel many uncharted paths —for we never know what surprises lay at life’s door for our experience, our growth. #champagneconnection #lifeistooshorttodrinkcheapchampagne #empowermentdoctor

Sunday, January 17, 2016


Dare to believe you are a perfect idea in the mind of Spirit. Dare to abandon fear, anger and resentment, and get ready for the multitude of blessings that will rush into your life. #champagneconnection #lifeistooshorttodrinkcheapchampagne #empowermentdoctor

Saturday, January 16, 2016


Our subconscious prosperity, attitudes and beliefs determine our financial altitude. This is one relationship everyone should pay close attention to. Are you exhibiting a poverty consciousness by living outside of your means or by miserly holding onto your money? Money is simply a means to an end. It does not make you “happy” or “sad.” Its purpose is to allow you to enjoy the lifestyle you desire. #champagneconnection #lifeistooshorttodrinkcheapchampagne #empowermentdoctor

Challenges are gentle nudgings from the Divine to force us to new heights. The sure way to appreciate the valleys is to look down from the mountaintop. Life is about the journey and not the destination. #champagneconnection #lifeistooshorttodrinkcheapchampagne #empowermentdoctor

Thursday, January 14, 2016


Our experiences reveal what we think and believe, helping us to know that we created the human world we live in— magnificently abundant or severely limited. #champagneconnection #lifeistooshorttodrinkcheapchampagne #empowermentdoctor

Infinite Kindness allows us to see the many paths that will unfold before us, one step at a time. When our goals seem out of reach, we must trust life unconditionally while reminding ourselves we will be provided for. #champagneconnection #lifeistooshorttodrinkcheapchampagne #empowermentdoctor

Tuesday, January 12, 2016


Everyone’s spiritual path is different, and because all paths lead to Infinite Kindness, the center of perfection, any road you choose to travel is perfect. #champagneconnection #lifeistooshorttodrinkcheapchampagne #empowermentdoctor

We have entered this earth plane with our road map safely tucked and etched into our spirits, our inner self. Our purpose is defined in spiritual terms, not worldly or human terms. #champagneconnection #lifeistooshorttodrinkcheapchampagne #empowermentdoctor

Sorting through any negative vibration and staying focused on the Truth will be the catalyst for a spontaneous healing. #champagneconnection #lifeistooshorttodrinkcheapchampagne #empowermentdoctor

Saturday, January 9, 2016


All emotions are just that—emotions and are simply one of the methods we use to determine if we are on the right path. They should never be given power or dominion over our life. They are mere traffic signs, ways of letting us know if we should yield, stop, prepare for a sharp turn or stay on the current course. #champagneconnection #lifeistooshorttodrinkcheapchampagne #empowermentdoctor

Friday, January 8, 2016


Every day is a miracle, a gift from Infinite Kindness. If our vision is unclouded, we will see that the valleys are indeed wrapped in gold, filled with absolute wonder and loaded with consciousness-raising experiences. No matter the outcome, it is good and very good. #champagneconnection #lifeistooshorttodrinkcheapchampagne #empowermentdoctor

Thursday, January 7, 2016


I remind myself that everyone is trying to find their way back to Spirit and judging them is not my responsibility. #champagneconnection #lifeistooshorttodrinkcheapchampagne #empowermentdoctor

Wednesday, January 6, 2016


My discovery that everyone has a purpose and life is a process that ultimately serves to introduce you to yourself has helped me to attract people, conditions and things that represent the goodness of Infinite Kindness. #champagneconnection #lifeistooshorttodrinkcheapchampagne #empowermentdoctor

Tuesday, January 5, 2016


Because we are not always able to discern the prompting of the Divine, life’s trials and tribulations are inevitable. It is these experiences that force our soul to grow. #champagneconnection #lifeistooshorttodrinkcheapchampagne #empowermentdoctor

Any road that brings us closer to the Creator is a good road. #champagneconnection #lifeistooshorttodrinkcheapchampagne #empowermentdoctor

Nature is not stagnant, for in everything there is a season and a time for every matter under heaven. #champagneconnection #lifeistooshorttodrinkcheapchampagne #empowermentdoctor

Saturday, January 2, 2016


The Course of Miracles says “only your brothers can teach you who you are and lead you closer to the Creator.” The goal of the curriculum regardless of the teachers we choose is “to know thyself.” When this has been fulfilled, we must move into the next experience, the next lesson. #champagneconnection #lifeistooshorttodrinkcheapchampagne #empowermentdoctor

When I review the year that has past, I keep at the forefront of my mind two things: (1) do not judge yesterday by the knowledge and information you have today; the best decision possible was made with information available at that time. The present does bring with it some new insights that were not available before this moment; if you had known differently, you would have acted differently. (2) There is no such thing as a bad decision. All decisions serve a singular purpose—to lead you along the path that will introduce you to yourself. #champagneconnection #lifeistooshorttodrinkcheapchampagne #empowermentdoctor
