Gratitude Tea

We had a Gratitude Tea Party at Carla's today and it was fun.  We all brought a treat to share and as we enjoyed our hot chocolate and Russian tea (wassail) we shared our gratitude with each other.  It's cool to share gratitude and it always reminds us that there is so much more to be grateful for. Saying or writing the things we are grateful for is kind of powerful and more thoughts of gratitude always appear.

I shared some of the experiences I had at limitless and we did the Angel Walk.  We took turns closing our eyes and walking down the little line of friends and listening to each other whisper our individual strengths in our ears. I think this is a great activity.  It just makes you feel good to have your greatness acknowledged.  It even makes you start to believe in yourself.  It's just awesome!  I'm going to write down what I remember and put it in the little book that Carla and I got for everyone.  We just got a folder and put plastic sleeves in them so we have a place to save the fun that we have together.  I made a picture collage to slip in the front.  I'm going to put the letter that everyone wrote on last year in it too.
I love November and how so many people focus on their blessings.  I think it's the perfect way to prepare for Christmas.
When everyone left the Gratitude Party, Carla and I stuffed the pillows that we are giving the girls at Special Needs for Christmas.  We stuffed them and sewed them up and got them bagged and ready to take on Dec. 1.  I feel a relief!

Saturday

Catch Me If You Can

When I got home from Limitless Larry had a Big Kiss waiting for me!  His work party was on Thursday and instead of driving back and forth from Provo I just stayed where I was and missed the party.  Everyone that came to the party with an employee got a big chocolate of some kind.  I love the Kiss and was happy that it was saved for me.  Larry ordered them from Hershey's and so I know they are fresh!
Tonight we had a play and it was Catch Me if You Can!  Such a cute musical.  I really like the movie too and am impressed that someone could get away with all the things that Frank Abagnale Jr did.  The guy was smart and fooled so many people.

I loved spending time with Barbie and the other gals.  I enjoy our visits and just spending time with them.  I told them a lot about Limitless.  We shared a lot with each other and it was a great way to end an awesome week.

Limitless Conference

I had the opportunity to go to Limitless with Kimleighel.  I knew it would be wonderful and awesome because Kimleighel, Trichelle and Jared all have enjoyed attending.  I knew it would be something that I believe in and I was not disappointed.  For three full days we learned to acknowledge our beliefs that are limiting our progress.  Every single speaker helped someone with a break through.  It was that same process no matter the topic.  After listening to speakers and doing interactive activities throughout the day we had the opportunity to break through a few of our limiting beliefs by breaking through a board with our bare hands, by walking on glass in our bare feet and by breaking an arrow held by our neck and leader and walking towards are leader until it broke.  These were all amazing and I felt a burden lifted after each activity.  Each time we identified a limiting belief and manifested our new belief with conviction and then just did it.  I had a harder time with the arrow and I know it was because I could have been more convicted in my new belief.  I should have worded it differently.  The wording makes such a difference.  How we talk puts beliefs in our minds and so if we can consciously speak more positively our lives would just be better.  

Some people are questionable about these kind of seminars.  Now that I have been to this one I can honestly say it is good.  No one promises that "they" can cure or change you.  This seminar helps the individual learn how to help themselves.  Yes, it's a business and you pay for the training but you pay to go to school where you also learn.  You pay for other seminars that just tell you how to improve your life.  The church offers Ed Week and Time Out for Women and you pay.  This is a business for Chris Crone and he is wealthy but he is not caught up in himself.  I truly got the impression that he cares about others and is simply sharing his knowledge and learning with others.  I felt angels around us every single day.  I felt the spirit of Christ...this is a good program.  This group is unconditional and accepts and loves everyone.  I could feel the powerful love every single day and it was awesome.
I fell in love with some of the staff.  They are genuine, kind and compassionate. I would love spending more time with them and the rest of the group choosing honor and positive things all day long.

Everyone had the opportunity to work with an "angel" for a personal break through.  I wasn't going to but I had something surface and decided that since I was here I would accept the help offered.  I had an amazing experience.  I know who I can trust and who has my best interest at heart.  My subconscious showed me and let me hear their words.  One was my daddy.  I know that he took a little time out from what he was doing and joined the other angel and guided the words for my angel session.  I could hear my sweet daddy talking to me and reassuring me of his unconditional love for me.  Me, daddy's little princess!
 Each day we shared with strangers.  We looked into a strangers eyes and told them the greatness we saw in them and they in return told us. (I shed a few tears) This was another activity I could truly feel the presence of the Holy Ghost.  I don't know these people at all but I was able to identify their greatness and the same was reciprocated.  One day it was the opposite.  We were blindfolded and had a partner and we each shared the greatness we saw in ourselves and our partners told us the greatness they heard and felt.  It was remarkable.  One more activity that was similar was called the "Angel Walk".  We gathered in groups...again with strangers.  Not the tribes we had selected to have breakthroughs with but different people we did not know.  We lined up in two lines facing each other.  We took turns closing our eyes and walking down between the people leaning our head from side to side while the ones on the side whispered a message to us.  It was amazing that different thoughts came to my mind about each individual.  Kimi has been uncomfortable in the past with this because she wasn't sure what to share.  This time if a thought didn't come to her mind she just reached in and gave that person a hug.  I think hugs have a language of their own and are powerful and mean a lot.  I know I loved the hug she gave to me with her words of love.  I know that God was speaking to me through these strangers and friends. I could feel it and I know.
The days started at 9:00 am and ended around 9:00 pm but it didn't seem long. We had breaks for lunch and dinner but I never felt hungry.  I loved all the information I was receiving.
 Kimleighel had the opportunity to join a leader on the stage.  It was the best thing for her.  Her confidence jumped and even flipped.  Her countenance changed and sparks of the real Kimleighel burst out.  I was thrilled that she was seen and acknowledged...she was too!  Kimi went up when they had a Representative from each personality type join the stage. Kimi is a Warrior.  She knows what she wants and will find a way to get it.  I am a visionary and love to have fun.  It was funny when he asked us who the visionaries were and we all cheered and whooped it up. ☺  The other two types are Healers and Oracles.  We all have some of each personality type in us but some are stronger.  My healer side is very close to my visionary side.  Healers are more quiet, reserved people that care about others.  The Oracles are about numbers and getting things done.  They are the ones we thank for our electronics.
 All the speakers were great and gave us steps that were easy and simple to improve are life and break through our limiting beliefs.  We had a little lesson on meditation that was very relaxing to mind, body and soul.  We had a few talks on money and $100,000.00 was brought up on the stage twice.  Once he had people up on the stage and gave them each a bundle of money and asked each one how they felt about it.  There wasn't one who said what I would have.  I would have said I love money and money makes me happy.  Depending on their responses they were either able to take the money or the money was taken from them and redistributed.  One gal who felt "guilty" had money piles up to her neck.  I was very tempted to go help her hold all that money.  I really, really wanted to but knew I would embarrass Kimleighel so I stayed seated.  I know I will be blessed with money and then I will bless others.  I can't keep the smile off my face as I even type this.  I LOVE MONEY.  One gal got to go sit in a pool with all that money and touch it and then she was able to throw it in the air like confetti.  Over and over she threw it up letting it fall back down all around her.  I think money will be finding it's way to her.  I talked to her a few times after her experience.  I felt connected to her from her experience.

One exercise was having four small girls lift a big guy named Kevin (we shared a greatness I see in your experience)off his chair by using only four fingers each.  Each gal broke through a limiting thought first and Kevin was asked to think "light, positive" thoughts.  (Helium)  Before the breakthroughs the girls tried lifting Kevin and didn't make him move at all.  After the breakthroughs and his positive thinking he was lifted right out of the chair.
When we were in our families, or tribes we had an activity where we were given stickers.  We each wrote something about each person on a sticker and put the sticker on them.  This reminded me of Sneetches from Dr. Seuss.  We all had stickers on us declaring our greatness. These are the words from my stickers that I found on me: Fun, Loving, Glorious Brightness. Humble & Joyful & Charismatic. A mother to everyone you meet, loving. Loving, Wise, Kind and Beautiful. Caring, Patience. Sacrifice for the love of family. Caring, A Mother, Loving. Caring. A beacon of light and love for everyone.

We danced and shouted and repeated positive affirmations.  We were silly and had fun and I loved it.  Those are not the things Larry would love.  But those are the things that brought energy into the room quickly.  Larry would enjoy the speakers though and the conservative things.  The great thing about this conference is you are never expected to do something that makes you uncomfortable.  There is no judgement...only love and acceptance.

Oh and One More Thing.......I.....AM......LIMITLESS!!!!!

Visiting Teaching and Clogged Sink

My cute visiting teacher came yesterday.  I ran errands in the morning and hurried home so I would be there.  Ruth came a little early and we chatted and laughed.  I noticed she was watching the time and asked her if she was in a hurry.  She said that the other sister she goes to was going to pick her up and take her to visit Sister Murdock. (who use to visit teach with Ruth) So our visit was short and we both felt a little cheated.  She invited to me to go with them but I had more things that I needed to get done.  Today I went and visited my cute friends.  I love visiting with Crystal and Linda and they both teach me so much.  They are truly my friends and I love them bunches.  I love printing the message and giving it to them with a treat.  It just makes me feel good. ☺
I had to call a plumber.  Every 5-6 years our pipes get clogged and requires a plumber to fix them.  I think every time they get clogged I try the gels and different tricks to clear a drain but they don't work.  I remember the last time this happened we bought some stuff that I was suppose to put down the drains every month to keep the pipes clean.  I must have remembered a few times because the box of cleaner wasn't completely full...there were a few bottles missing.  But obviously I had forgotten because I still had quite a few.  I got more of that drain stuff and hopefully I will remember to write it on my new calendar each month to remind me.  It's a pain to have a clogged drain.  The guy that came today knew Linda's son really well.  I told him I had just been at Linda's.  It's a small world sometimes.  Like you know one person from a town and so does the person you are talking to. ☺I love seeing the water drain.  It makes me happy1

Monday

Ivy

Ivy has a phone of her own but likes playing on mine.  Her phone doesn't have Snap Chat and so after she has been on mine I find pictures like these.☺ This little one is growing right up.  She's a beautiful soul and I love her to pieces.

Sunday

Primary Program

I went to Church today and noticed that it was our Primary Program.  I stopped in my tracks instead of going to my seat.  I knew that I had something on this day and that I wouldn't be able to make it to our ward's primary program.  After a brief moment of thinking it hit me that today was also Mya and Parker's program at the same time.  I'm really glad that I am use to getting to church early because I still had time to make it their church before it started.  I would have felt bad if I had forgot and so I'm thankful for whisper of an angel reminding me.

The kids were great.  In Mya and Parkers ward the kids come up with their own parts.  They are asked questions and then the leader writes down their responses and those are their parts.  They are so cute..some were funny.  I don't think it would be complete without a little humor during these programs.  I heard that our ward had plenty of humorous moments. ☺Even with laughter the spirit is always felt.  I love little kids so much.  I love how innocent and sweet they are.  These two little's made my heart happy today.  So fun being able to be there with them.
