I asked if you believe in Santa.  I believed in Santa a long time ago.  I remember a Christmas when I was about six years old.  I had two other siblings, a brother and a sister, both younger than me.  We were very poor, but that never stopped us from dreaming about Santa and what he would have for us under the Christmas tree on Christmas morning.

We lived in an area where lots of cedar trees grew and we could go and chop our own tree and bring it home and decorate it.  We did not have expensive ornaments to put on the tree but my mom popped popcorn that we strung with a needle and thread.  We had glue and we cut strips of colored construction paper out, made rings, connected them, and strung the paper and pop corn on the tree.  We made snowflakes out of white paper and hung them on the tree. The tree was so beautiful.

The Christmas of my sixth year was an especially difficult year for my parents.  Of course, we did not realize this until years later when we would hear my parents and other adults talk about it.

The thing I remember about that very special Christmas was that everything was normal that Christmas Eve.  We were all excited about getting up on Christmas morning and looking to see what would be under the tree for us from Santa.  Nothing was under the tree when we went to bed Christmas Eve.  During the night I woke up and went into the room where the Christmas tree was and I saw my mother doing something with a doll.  She did not see me so I went back to bed. On Christmas morning we were all excited and I was not sure if what I had seen during the night was a dream or not.  Sure enough under the tree were gifts for each of us.  My sister and I got dolls all dressed up just like a Barbie doll would look like today.  We both loved our dolls and it was just what we were hoping we would get.

Years later I asked my mother about that Christmas and she remembered it too and told the story behind that Christmas Eve night.  My mother was an excellent seamstress she made all the clothes in our family for my dad, her and us kids.  She told me that they could not afford gifts that year for us and she was so disappointed.  She came up with the idea to take old dolls we had and clean them up and make new doll clothes for the dolls.  So what I saw that night was my mother putting the doll clothes she had made on the old dolls she had cleaned up.  I do not even remember the dolls and that we had the dolls already all I remember is that the dolls were so beautiful and had such gorgeous clothes on I thought I was just given a $50 doll.

We are so blessed in this country with the freedoms and abundance we have.  It is not about how much gifts cost at Christmas time but the love we share with family and friends that is worth far more than money.

While all the country is wondering where in the world everything is headed I am sitting here deciding which stock that has taken a hugh dip to invest in. I am looking at several stocks that has been recommended by my investor and trying to decide how much to invest in each stock. What a life to be able to make your money grow when others will loss so much because of fear, worry, and indecision.

My number 1 goal was to go into business for myself so I could be my own boss and live life the way I had so often dreamed and I have met that goal. Being an internet entrepreneur has served me well and will continue to do so in the future. We all need goals and we continually have to keep our eyes open for opportunities to achieve those goals. Goals make life worth living! As you achieve each goal you set you look back and say WOW! Did I really do that? You set goals to keep your mind, body and spirit active. I love to learn and as an RN (in my previous life) I want to stay abreast of medical practice and as such I am on track to finish my Bachelors of Science before the end of this year. Increasing your intelligence will always be beneficial to you as a person by the confidence, self-esteem, and respect you command.

In every crisis there is opportunity. Our world is in a crisis and if you are going to live in it you will either be on the losing end of it or the winning end of it. I am no different than you. I am not smarter than you. I do not have a high IQ. I just have the will and determination to make a decision, set a goal, and stick to it no matter what happens to me today.

SET YOUR GOALS HIGH AND HONOR THEM NO MATTER WHAT!

To your health, wisdom, and prosperity.

Today was a really hot day so I decided I would get the few things that I wanted to get done, done and then head for the coast. From where I am the coast is a couple of hours through some not too great sight seeing areas. The drive is very effortless and peaceful though not a lot of traffic so no hassles to speak of. I leave my house and make sure I have all my music I want to listen to like Josh Groban and Yanni and when I want some variety I listen to my SirusXM radio which I truly love. Next to eating something you really love music is the best thing in the world. I go for days without watching TV because I love listening to all kinds of music. As I am driving and thinking about my life and how good I have it I say a prayer of thanks for the great car I am driving with the sunroof open and the just right air coming in and out around me. I am so very thankful for all I have and for the potential of all that I will have. I am so fortunate that I have a business where I can take off and go when I want and not worry about do I have enough money to do this or maybe I should wait until the first of the month because I need to buy this item now. I think about all the people who had to get up this morning at 5 AM and drag themselves to a job they hate and will be there for the next 15 years if their employer does not go out of business. I love working for me because I can count on me to take care of me. This is not all about me or yes, maybe it is all about me. When I take care of me it can be all about me and not anyone else.

Suddenly I see a sign up ahead that says 2 miles to my coast highway exit WOW! What a short trip. How great it is to be so happy that a 2 to 3 hour trip seems like nothing. When I arrive at my destination it is about 1PM and I am just a little hungry so I go to my favorite place to have fish and chips (why would anyone eat anything else beside fresh fish at the coast!!) and sit out by the ocean in the glorious sun, relaxing and watching the beach goers. When I leave the restaurant I go for walk on the beach and stop every now and then and just look out at the ocean. I walk on the pier and watch for the seals and the birds that entertain. As the day closes I watch the beautiful sunset and give thanks again that I am in a position to be here at this time wishing others could know the peace and contentment I have from knowing I have wealth, health, and prosperity and no one can ever take that away from me.

Here’s to all of you, may you find your wealth, health, and prosperity.

Last night I listened to a video entitled “The Secret”. It was very short but very effective. I listened to it just before I went to bed so I could keep the images and words in my mind as I fell asleep. The things we want out of life do not necessarily have to be all about money. Although, money does buy the groceries. If used in the right way and with the right attitude money is a very useful tool to help us get through life. Let’s face it we all want to be comfortable and have the things we need and want. I have more than that. I have peace. I know my money is invested in sound investments that are making me money even during times when the stock market is crashing. I have connections with excellent advisors who help me grow my investments and keep them safe.

Your golden opportunity is now! In the coming weeks, months, years the top 3% of the world will be involved in the largest money transfer of all time and you could be in that top 3%. I have been where you are sitting right at this moment! Believe me when I say you WANT to be sitting where I am today!

You are special! You are one of a kind!
The universe is ours so take your share there is more than enough to go around!

We all have lessons that we learn along the way during our life. One of the lessons I learned later in life is that you can do whatever you want and be whatever you want as long as you are persistent, positive, and determined. I never knew just how important these three things were until I accomplished something I always thought was just out of reach. I am an entrepreneur! I am happy! I am prosperous! I am healthy!

Everyone takes their first step toward a goal. Here is to you and your step toward independence, happiness, prosperity and health.
