The Magic Ten-fold.
You in 2008.

I have a fabulous friend who once told me, "I want to be the ten-fold."

"The ten-fold?" I asked.

"Yes! You know, when people say what you give out will return to you ten-fold?
Well, I want to BE the ten-fold."

I've often thought about this statement from time to time, as the most inspiring
messages are often from those great light bulb moments bubbling forth. What
would it be like if we all acted like we were that magic ten-fold? It's kind of like the
"pay it forward" notion, only today I would like to challenge each of you to apply it
to yourselves this year.

Many times I have shared with students, family and friends, "I know interesting
people who know interesting people." It's true! And through the many encounters
from many different -and interesting- sources, they have all agreed this year is going
to be a powerful one! This year is about creation! Your personal creations, what
you want most, this is the time to do it, create it, see it, dream it, BE it!

What if you were the ten-fold to yourself? What if you were actually in charge of
creating your glorious dreams to reality? What if your God-Source held your hand
and asked, "Song in my heart, Light of my eyes, this is your year, what can I/We
assist you with that would not only bring you joy but also ten others along the way
simply because you asked?" Of course, those who know me will not be surprised
when I question, why ten? Why not a hundred? Or a thousand? How could joy
possibly be contained to just ten? Do bubbles in the ocean rise up only ten feet? No,
they rise up until they reach the surface and then they pop joining all the other happy
oxygen molecules in the air! Wheeee!

Moving forward, make this year, beginning with today, the time you begin to look at
yourself as a completely worthy, creative being, full of golden light, ready to fizz,
and with that, you spontaneously create bubbles of joy all around you. When you
begin to practice being who you want to be, then you become that. Practice makes
perfect, remember? Practice being kind, loving, joyful. Practice getting enough
sleep, practice getting up with enough time to do what you desire for the day.
Practice what you want to see in a relationship by exhibiting the love and respect
toward yourself.

I received a very effective intuitive message the other day while working with a
friend. He really likes coffee. He really, really likes coffee. So after working with
him for awhile I asked him if he had ever coached a little league team. He said yes.
I asked him what they gave the kids. Water, Gatorade? Fresh fruit? Yes, yes, yes.
So, I asked, you never gave them coffee? No, of course not. Well, I gently broke it
to him, his kidneys and adrenals are kind of like his personal little league team. He's
responsible for them, and while they are still working as a team, they needed some
water, some rest, and some love.

So look at yourself. You and your team, which is not only your body, but your
mind, your heart, your spirit are the collective of who you are. Love who you are!
If you find an aspect about yourself that does not bring you joy, then please, please,
please, send love to that area of your being. Every thought you have that does not
bring you joy is reducing the reach of your Light. Fill yourself with love and there is
no room for anything else! When you are filled with love, it overflows, it expands, it
replicates, it inspires others, it works, it works, it works!

Sometimes, I need someone outside of myself to give me my own advice. Have
you ever had that happen to you? For example, when I was upset with a
situation, I have had students, friends and family tell me, "Don't forget to
breathe, smile, drink your water and have fun." AH, yes! It's true. We all have
knowledge, sometimes it just takes another to remind us of how creative we are
and how truly connected we are to each other and to our own hearts.

So in some ways it's easier to be the ten-fold to others. In some ways it's easier
to simply give fill-in-the-blank in order to feel accomplished. But what if you
gave it to yourself. Ok, yes, sometimes, giving to others is exactly what it takes
to fill ourselves with joy. But take a look, where do YOU need that extra love
inside? Find the space and send love, send joy, be your own personal ten-fold
to yourself. Let go, just be what you most desire; which is happy, safe and
loved. With this spaced filled, you naturally and effortlessly are the magical
ten-fold to others.

With love and joy, may this article be the ten-fold for whomever needs it most.

Blessings of creation, empowerment and joy,
