Communication Issues and Betrayed Trust
Communication Issues Can Cause Very Painful Experiences
When someone betrays our trust…we usually feel pretty pissed off about it… 
OR we might feel badly hurt and withdraw. Do yourself a favor and don’t stop there. If you want to help make sure that it doesn’t happen to you again then become open to exploring what you can learn about yourself and what choices you made or didn’t make to contribute to this very painful outcome. Your first mission, if you choose to accept it, is to focus on developing your own trustworthy, reliable, accountable relationship with yourself.
In life, when we value ourselves…when we truly respect ourselves then we feel worthy. That is when we KNOW that we have the right to do our due diligence in all of our relationships, whether with a significant other, friend, business professional, co-worker or even the repairman.

How to Consciously Use the Law of Attraction to Manifest Your Heart’s Desire
First of all, though nowadays many people are aware of these metaphysical concepts, we still meet some who are are not. So then, what IS the law of attraction and what does manifesting actually mean?

Manifesting begins similarly in that it is important to be clear about what you want to create. However, unlike goal setting that is primarily focused on action, manifesting focuses more on the use of our imagination and feelings along with inspired action to help us create what we want in our lives. This approach can be deeply rewarding and gratifying.

Fears and Anxiety Keep Us Stuck
Hello from Val and Jeanette. Here is one of our favorite little stories. We believe that stories are one of the best, most enjoyable forms of learning. Through metaphor, stories evoke images and emotions that help us with our own personal growth. They can actively engage our imagination, which is the doorway to our natural genius.
