What Would Love Do?

wvlju2023-02-28T18:38:09+00:00

What Would Love Do? is a concept I came across when studying A Course in Miracles. We can ask What Would Love Do? regarding ourselves, others, and situations. Our responses to what happens to us, to situations with others, or to issues that crop up are what dictate how we will feel once whatever is happening is past. ? If we come from a place of love – and express love’s qualities (understanding, compassion, etc., there is a link below to my post on Love's Qualities) we will feel better. Calmer. And we will be able to deal with anything that needs our attention with more clarity. We will get on our day feeling light. ? If we allow our mind to focus on the negativity of it all: he/she did – didn’t do xyz, it’s not fair, or this should not have happened and anger or frustration take over, or we resort to judgment, blame, or revenge - or any type of aggression we will carry the dense energy of this with us throughout the day. We are only ever coming from a place of Love, or a place of Fear. Read my related post, the Qualities of Love / the Qualities of Fear. If we want to better ourselves - or to feel better, we must approach life differently than we were. In my past and before I started doing personal development work (I didn't even know that term), I just wanted to find peace in my life. A feeling had started to grow in me that there was something wrong with the picture of my life - of how I was navigating life. That it was not others - but me - who were causing my unhappiness and frustrations. Not me-me - but that somehow I was missing the mark. And so, my journey to peace (the name and themes of my books) began. Slowly, I began to realize that my frustrations and what I was feeling were not about the others - what they were or weren't doing. It was all coming from within me. I learned that my perceptions of others and situations were not reality - and that I brought past hurts, feelings, biases, and beliefs into present situations. From these echoes of the past and their beliefs and biases, I created protection mechanisms and default ways of responding to life. I call these Our Unconscious Influences (see below for info on my upcoming book 2, Overcome Your Unconscious Influences ... in my "Our Journeys to Peace' Series). I had started to understand that based on what I experienced or witnessed when growing up, I had been projected my fears of what was or what might happen onto the present. I allowed actions and innocent remarks to echo in my mind as proof that I would be criticized, wronged, stepped-on, and/or disempowered – just like my mother and many women of the 50’s generation were. All my Articles / Blog Posts are based on my [...]

We Are at the Pinnacle of Our Personal, Collective, and Planetary Evolution

wvlju2022-08-01T02:22:46+00:00

At this time of our evolution, we are all awakening to the truth of who we are, the truth of who our brothers and sisters on the Planet we share are, and are starting to embrace the concrete changes all this brings with it. We are all primed to become the best and most empowered expressions of ourselves, and this will bring with it powerful changes that will benefit all of us and affect the trajectory of humanity. While it may not be apparent in all areas of our world today, most of us are ready to embrace our shared connection to the Oneness we emanated from and extend its inherent qualities to others. (Below are links to 2 more articles related to Our Evolution, the Planet, the Secret of Enough, and the Indigenous People). We are starting to manifest what will bring about a safe, fair, and egalitarian world, where everyone feels empowered, has what they need to survive and thrive, and is free to live in alignment with their soul’s desires. Children Come into the World More Evolved than the Last Generation It is often the youth that urges us to make the changes needed to create a better world. The children of those born since the enlightenment era of the ’60s - especially those birthed from within the bubble of energy following the ’87 Harmonic Convergence simply expect a peaceful, just, and equitable world. They are here to help us firmly grasp the ideas of compassion, fairness, acceptance, and equality necessary to bring it about. In fact, they are demanding it!. All my articles/blog posts are based on concepts in my book: Your Journey to Peace, Bridging the Gap Between Religion, Spirituality, Psychology, and Science. I also offer a variety of Writing Services Just like with every new generation, the young people of today have shown up here on earth more enlightened than the last one. The confidence and inner-knowledge that come with this allow them to outright reject any attitude or action that hints of unfairness, greed, inequality, prejudice, or cruelty that has been so ingrained in our world. The younger generations don’t accept that people should be used or abused by others, taken advantage of or bullied by big business or the government, or be talked down to by educators or the religious hierarchy. The young people today embrace ideas that align with practices that help our Planet thrive. They are encouraging us to listen to the Indigenous people regarding our beautiful home. They do not buy into the illusions of past generations and therefore are not in denial of the consequences of their or others’ actions. The popular saying “teach your children well” should be followed by “and heed their wisdom.” The young generation of today is starting to and will continue to be the strong leaders who will fearlessly usher in this new, brighter era we now seeing glimpses of. Most of us now understand it is more beneficial to work with others in relationship [...]

?“I Choose Me” A Mantra to Help Us Overcome …. March 2022 Newsletter

wvlju2022-04-25T18:59:30+00:00

I Choose Me is the theme of my March 2022 Newsletter Message. Sign up to Receive or to Read Past Messages ????? To be happy, balanced, in control of our emotions, and feel empowered in life it is vital that we consciously choose what will support us maintaining – or bringing about – our sense of peace, happiness, contentment, balance, and empowerment. Some of us almost always innately choose what will support our peace and happiness: We are adept at choosing ourselves. Others of us fall into disempowering attitudes and behaviors amidst change, disappointment, or when life gets difficult, and we no longer choose what will support us being our best self. We allow outside forces to dictate our life. There are many ways we can Choose Me. And there is more than one level of Choosing Me. The is a Surface Level of “Choosing Me;” There is also a More Subtle Level of “Choosing Me” The Surface Level of “Choosing Me” Most of us have now learned that to be happy and contented we must … ?Do what WE want in life – not what others or society decides is right for us. ?Say NO – when what others or society expects from us stresses or depletes us ?Align ourselves with positive and supportive people and uplifting activities so that we maintain or attain a positive mind frame ?Remove ourselves – from others who are negative or embrace drama that mess with our energy/vibration – and from situations out of our control that bring us down. *** ***(We can still act to help others, but to stay positive and light-hearted we must do so without blame, judgment, or drama). ????? This is an excerpt from my upcoming book, Overcome Your Unconscious Influences, such as Anger, Frustration, Hurt Feelings, and Blaming Others for Your Unhappiness (Book 2 of my ‘Our Journeys to Peace’ Series) – due out Summer 2022. About My Books And as well as my spiritual/personal development writing, I also offer a variety of Writing Services ????? The More Subtle Level of “Choosing Me” We all have days when a quick-fix-pick-me-up is just what the doctor ordered. Small indulgences like: ?Spoiling ourselves with that special desert ?Cozying up all day on the couch with a book ?Splurging on an extravagant meal ?Going on a shopping spree ? Binging a tv show ?Having an all-night gaming session ?Soaking leisurely in the bathtub Spoiling ourselves just a little is often all we need to improve our mood when we have had a bad day or a disappointment. It is empowering. Of course, turning to meditation, prayer – or any spiritual practice, talking to a loved one, or spending extra time in nature is the healthiest way to deal with unexpected disappointing events. Still, spoiling ourselves – just a little is usually harmless and can be a simple pick-me-up. Spoiling our self – giving our self a little love – when something unwanted has happened makes us feel good. Plus, it allows our unconscious to work in its subtle ways to heal the negative energy attached to whatever has happened. And as long as this is a one-day (or [...]

Creating Feelings of Contentment – January 2022 Newsletter Message

wvlju2022-02-03T22:34:20+00:00

Feeling contented helps us weather life's ups and downs more easily. ?Sign-up for My Newsletter - and read my past messages at: Sign up for My Newsletter ? I also offer a variety of writing services, see My Writing Services Page There are many ways to get to a place of feeling contented, with the most obvious one being from externals, such as ... - Getting the job, reaching a goal, or becoming successful. These give us a sense of accomplishment, bringing feelings of contentment. - Moving into a house, finding the perfect partner, or starting a family also brings feelings of contentment, however … For Most of Us, Feelings of Contentment that Come from Outside of Ourselves Is Fleeting ? ? ? Contentment That Comes from Within – From the Depths of Our Being – Has More Staying Power Once the newness of what we accomplished or have gotten has worn off, we seem to need to reach for the next thing. The wanting, satisfying, and wanting again trap humans fall prey to is one of the major reasons that true and lasting contentment eludes us. ? ? ? All my writing is based on themes from my books: Your Journey to Peace …, and Why We Are the Way We Are, See below for info on My Upcoming Books, Overcome Your Unconscious Influences…, and Relationship Intelligence … ? ? ? This month's message was inspired by a friend's recent question on a Facebook post – and my answer. Traci asked: "What is one good thing you are experiencing even with the times we are in?" My answer (which came to me quickly) was: "I'm feeling even more contented than usual – even though I've had some tough times lately, and I feel blessed for all those who helped me get there. And I realize that there is nothing much else that beats the feeling of being content." Since that day, I've been pondering where that sense of contentment came from. I realized that it came from a combination of: ? *Loving the Holiday Season ? **Making peace with recent disappointments ? ***Appreciating what was now good ? ****And partaking in three powerful meditations with Allison Carol Blackburn just before and between Christmas and New Year. ? ? ? ? *Loving the Holiday Season (or any other Celebration) – is an easy one because … Embracing the Spirit of Celebrations Heightens Our Senses Allowing Contentment to Grow in Our Being ? **Making Peace with Disappointments (*or True Forgiveness as taught by A Course in Miracles. See below for a fuller explanation). I had been feeling disappointed that my extended family could not attend my usual brunch (it wasn't the numbers but more distance and the many commitments the young adults had). Slowly, as the week went on, I started to make peace with this, until suddenly, it felt ok. With the acceptance that they were all growing up and had their own lives, a huge shift occurred in me, and I realized [...]

Healing Ourselves Helps Heal Others, and Our Ancestral Lineages

wvlju2022-01-21T13:42:40+00:00

Individuals and Humanity are at a point where we can no longer brush things under the rug. It is our time to lift the rug – to reveal what was buried and hidden – so that we can heal anything that is not of love – and ensure that everyone feels empowered and in control of their life and destiny. As Individuals ?The impetus to look beyond our feelings, attitudes, and behaviors is upon us – so that we can heal the wounds that cause(d) bad, ineffective, inappropriate, or hurtful attitudes and behaviors. ?We are learning the importance of – and the necessity to – stand up for ourselves: for our freedoms, beliefs, and right to live life as our hearts and souls call us to. As a Collective ?We are being forced to look at the inequalities, injustices, and cruelty we have – and still do – put upon the poorer, marginalized, and disempowered individuals and groups, and … ?We are called to make restitution. ??? All my writing is based on themes from my books: Your Journey to Peace …, and Why We Are the Way We Are, See below for info on my upcoming books, Overcome Your Unconscious Influences…, and Relationship Intelligence … As well as my spiritual/personal development writing, I also offer Writing Services see My Writing Services Page To stay updated on book releases (and to read my past messages) Sign up for My Newsletter ??? In this blog post, I will focus mainly on our individual healing. I have mentioned the healing of the collective to give a fuller understanding that this inner push to heal is part of Humanity’s current evolutionary process and that the healing of the individual and the collective goes hand in hand. Healing Our Emotional Wounds Has Far-Reaching Effects We were created to live connected to love, effortlessly tapping into joy, and naturally expressing love – and its supportive qualities like fairness, sharing, and compassion outwards into the world. See my post The Qualities of Love. However, Humanity's past caused emotional wounds within us and we disconnected from that love. Healing our emotional wounds can be done in many ways – but they all start with acknowledgment – with looking at the conscious or Unconscious Influences that cause(d) us to feel, react, or act out of context. Acknowledging how we feel, or what we have said or done that caused us or others pain or upsets, is the 1st step to healing. Once we acknowledge we then work to remove the blocks to love - to undo the Unconscious Influences that may be keeping us from accessing the love within. To go deep enough in the healing to make impactful shifts within us, we must be brave enough to be honest with ourselves.*** There are many simple and professional ways to do this. A few that have helped me are … ?Journaling*** our thoughts, feelings, and what comes to us as we sit to write about a hurt, our feelings, or try and understand why [...]

Use Your Client E-mail List to Its Full Potential

wvlju2023-03-14T00:39:32+00:00

The names on your client email list are high-quality contacts. Many of them are good bets to purchase or sign-up again as they have already shown interest in you and your products or services. However, most are on your list only by default – because they once were customers. Email lists cost money to maintain and take time to manage. So, you must use them to their full advantage. To keep the contacts OB your client list – and hopefully move them towards purchasing or signing up again, you must be gentle and nurture them? You do this with regular communications that keep them engaged, interested, and seeing you as honest – and an authority in the area of your business or service. And although many of them are prime candidates to buy or sign-up again, you cannot be sure where they stand on you, your company, or the product or service they once purchased. To Move them Closer to Re-purchasing or Re-subscribing, Your Communications Must be Nuanced enough – to at least ensure they keep their finger away from the “unsubscribe button.” It is a fine line to walk to keep them interested and engaged – while still giving them a gentle nudge. You do this with regular email communications (best done using an ESP system***) that could offer them, ?Tips ?Related or relevant new information ?Updates on the product or service they purchased or signed up for ?Information on your new products or services ?Renewal reminders. (You can include some information as to why they should renew with YOU ?Surveys. Surveys are a great way to gather more information about those on your list, such as their likes, dislikes, purchasing habits, etc., and their level of satisfaction. This information helps you target them more closely (in substance and tone) for future email messages – but it also makes the receiver feel important and part of your world. The emails can contain their own simple message, or be used as a vehicle to share information that will pique the readers' interest and keep them with you, be it through ?Newsletters ?Blog posts ?Articles ?Podcasts ?Videos, or ?Links to others’ interesting and related tidbits of information Phew! All this must seem like a lot to consider – just to write a few emails?. It is.

Best Way to Build and Grow Your Email List – the Magic of Opt-Ins

wvlju2023-04-11T22:11:50+00:00

Email lists are one of the most valuable tools in digital marketing. And unless you are well versed in recent digital marketing techniques, building and growing your email list must seem daunting. That I understand. Advanced tech stuff is daunting to me! There are many types of email lists. All are valuable and give you results – some more so than others. Whatever you are wanting to promote, using your marketing dollars effectively is vital. Right? Modern, successful marketers trained in digital marketing suggest that clients looking for new customers, subscribers, or readers focus a considerable amount of their email marketing energy and dollars on attaining a Permission-based Email List. A Permission-based Email List – is a list of people who have given you their email addresses in response to a freebie or some information you put out there regarding your product, service, or message. (See below for links to my posts 0n the other types of email lists, such as client lists). They have Opted-in Because they Are Interested in Learning More This is also known as Pull-Marketing. You have pulled them to you – rather than contacting them out of the blue with unsolicited emails, which is an expensive and outdated marketing strategy. These Contacts Are Gold. They have already shown an interest in you, your product, services, or message by Opting-in and giving you their email address. They are primed to receive more information from you, however, they are not yet clients, so you must tread carefully when communicating with them. You do this by gently nudging them towards purchasing or signing up with a series of emails – also called autoresponders. This works best using an ESP*** provider. You need smart, honest, nuanced, and properly crafted copy for each email in the series to create a sense of trust with the recipient – while working towards converting them from interested – to purchasers. Creating the perfect copy to do so is a skill and a craft ... and a good copywriter knows how to walk that fine line of ... ... crafting the clever, compelling, engaging copy necessary to move the prospective client closer to purchasing – while at the same time not overwhelming them – and at least keeping their finger away from the “unsubscribe button.” Hello, my name is Rosemary McCarthy, and I am a writer, published author, editor, copywriter, and e-book and ghostwriter – with a marketing background and digital copywriting know-how, and so ... ...
