How to Live the Life You Want -Really

Many books, magazines and television specials tell you how to live the life you want. But do they really know the life you want to live?

Permaculture-Gardening-100x100

You are the Sculpture Creating the Life you want.

When you decided on the life you wanted to live, did you plan for it, or did it just happen? For me, I excelled in working with horses and on farms when I was in Jr. High and High School. I was content. Going to the Student counselor for our mandatory “Career Counseling” session was an experience. How about you? Being told that I have to choose a career and that working for someone else would be my best option.

My parents suggested an electronics school that I had been recruited to go to sounded acceptable,but it meant moving to Phoenix, Arizona, a big city. Not the life I wanted to live. Plus, would I be stuck indoors all of the time? I love being outside. My Father had been in the Navy and my brother in law just came back from Vietnam.

Everyone was telling me what I should do, as well as the life that would be best for me. On my brother in laws advice, I chose the Navy. I was outside quite a bit of the time, but I ended up being on submarines. Really locked inside for months on end. Not even a screen door!

Chris-Downs-Heather-and-Bugar-Bear-362x276

Lessons I learned from working with others

  • I like to learn new skills and work with my hands
  • I like to trouble shoot and repair many different things
  • I enjoy meeting new people and discovered that what the “rumor” was about people and cultures was never true. Most people I met love being outdoors, eating great food and sharing their story.
  • If you love animals, growing food and smile, even in stressful situations, sharing your love for life is contagious.
  • I learned that I enjoy helping other people in many different ways.
  • Working on a fire department is tough and rewarding
  • Building and owning a store and restaurant is a LOT of work to be successful
  • Not knowing what I wanted to do or enjoy kept me from being fulfilled, at peace and joyful.

Discovering and Planning the Life that you Want.

After getting Married, my Wife Heather and I planned out our future. We drew plans for the farm that we wanted

  • Complete with a runway, Hangar, and maintenance facilities. (Of course I had to put this first!)
  • Must be self sufficient for water, food and power.
  • large 4 acre garden
  • Home that allows for people to come, stay and recover from the stress of living in the city
  • Have the property pay for itself
  • Have a restaurant (Biker Bob’s Breakfast Bizarre that only serves lunch)
  • Train interns and help others learn how to live sustainable lives
  • Live to have more by having less
For us, we still have these plans 30 years later. We live off grid and continue to grow toward our vision and goals.

The List we follow to get to where we want to be:

  • Spend time reading history and about the land, Listen
  • Read, play, listen to others generously
  • Eat nutritious food
  • Ensure you get All of the nutrition you need (Physical, Emotional and Spiritual)
  • Surround yourself with mentors and people who have the same dream
  • Give a hand to others
  • Do not be afraid to make mis-takes (I learn from them all of the time)
  • You do not have to buy new equipment
  • Hire some jobs done, it will save a lot of time and money
  • Keep your vision alive
  • As you meet new people, rejoice in their journey and their dreams
  • Take action on a daily basis, even if the action is to rest and recover
  • Don’t take yourself too seriously (that one took me some time)
  • Bend, soften stubbornness (my lesson) bring determination into balance with humility
  • Forgive
  • Ask for and accept help
  • Give help
  • Save 10%, Give 10% and live on the rest.
  • Learn new skills (be teachable)
  • Teach those skills to others
  • Love your neighbor and yourself
  • Be Calm even in an emergency (ask Heather)
  • Don’t be stuck on the path to how you will get to the life you want, enjoy the changes in your plans that get you there
  • Walk softly on the land
  • Protect your soil, water and nature so that you and generations can enjoy it also
  • When a challenge arises, Know that this too shall pass

As my Friends and chosen family [[[3]]] share:

“You Create the life you want and have by the Three Arrows of Power”

  1. The thoughts you think
  2. The Words you Speak
  3. The Actions You Take

sustainable-living-660x300

“When you are up to your chest in water, clear the culvert”

We have been greatly blessed by so many people. I hope that these tips that I have learned, sometimes the hard way will smooth the road for your Journey.

Today is a Great Day

Can You Get Organic Farming Benefits Without Having Money?

Organic Farming Benefits without money?

With no money, no land, no problem: Building a dream in Zambia

Jerry Kufuna Can You Get Organic Farming Benefits Without Having Money?

Building A Dream in Zambia

I want to introduce you to Jerry Kufuna who is building a dream in Zambia. He is a leader in Zambia, as well as one of our community members here at HIS Farm.org. Creating mini organic farms as well as larger scale farms, Jerry is well on his way to building his dream. Jerry Lives in Zambia, and has a Passion for Agriculture. Since we are all connected together, we wanted to share his story. But We will let Jerry Share his Passion and Purpose! Fr

Here is his story:

MINI FARMS DEVELOPMENT (Organic Farming)

After being a Pastor and doing community work among poor people for more than 25 years, I discovered that the best way to empower our people is through Agriculture.

We just have to go back to the land! And Organic Farming is the way to go…especially when we use locally available material.

I discovered that Africans know what they need to develop their economy .We need to give them the tools to do that. And one of the tools is information or education. Relevant information!! Something that works for Africa.

“I know of no pursuit in which more real service can be rendered to any country than by improving it`s agriculture”

GEORGE WASHINGTON – AMERICAN STATESMAN AND PRESIDENT (1732-1799)

My desire is to develop a Mini Farm Prototype, multiply that and spread it in all ten provinces of our nation and other nations through others. What I am doing is a launching pad or springboard to the rest of Africa.

DSCN0401 300x171 Can You Get Organic Farming Benefits Without Having Money?

We need to grow(develop) so that we can help many more of our people. We are still a small project with lots of potential to reach our nation and Africa.

In order to do that we need Partners.

The Government of Zambia recognizes our Project. We are helping them do a few projects like Tree Planting.

Recently I was given an Award from the President of the Republic of Zambia for Tree Planting and Environmental Protection.

I am at the moment developing a base from where we can reach the nation. It is a Demonstration farm plot, for the farmer.

Our farm is a place where the following is done on a smaller scale

We would like to develop all I mention below.

1.Research

Discovering new ways of doing the old things. Information, fresh ideas etc.

2.Production

Developing products from raw material. Manufacturing finished products. Promoting the cottage industry.

3.Outreach

Reaching out to farmers where they live, with resources, information etc. Providing extension services.

4.Consultancy

Helping people (farmers) interpret and fulfill their dreams. Providing market ,information, financing etc.

5.Training

Equipping the people for the task of rebuilding the nations through agriculture.

My dream is to prove to our people that agriculture is the way to go if we want a lot of things to change in Africa.

Agriculture will answer a lot of questions Africans are asking eg.Hunger,Unemployment,Lack of Capital,Forex etc

Our project does the following(on a small scale)

1.Food security:it provides food security.

2.Jobs:it creates employment for our people

3.Income:it gives us an income.

4.Raw material: it provides raw material for the cottage industry. Manufacturing industry.

5.Foreign exchange: it helps us develop foreign exchange to finance imports.

6.Purchasing power: it shall help develop purchasing power for the majority of our people.

7.Surplus capital: it gives us surplus capital to finance other areas of industry development etc.

At the moment we are using ten pieces of land that are 50×50 meters each. We need to grow(develop) that so that we can take the project to other places.

We also have other pieces of land……533 hectares in total. That will be for commercial farming so that they can support the project in the future.

Our people usually find it easier to imitate what they can see working. That is why the whole project is like one big classroom.

We have been working with a number of farmers in our area- promoting organic farming.

We raise goats, free-range chickens, vegetables, grain, herbs, spices and fruits.

All these are on a smaller-scale.

This year we are also planting about 20,000 tree seedlings for our tree-planting exercise in this town.

My dream is to see this project develop into something like a university. Teaching others through hands on experience and learning-centered methods, a place where people learn by doing. It will be like a Long-Distance/Open University facility for the Farmer.

In order to develop we need the following:

  • Electricity. We have no power on the plot.
  • Boreholes for water. Most of our farming is done during rainy season.
  • Drip Irrigation equipment
  • Roofing Sheets and timber to build Food Processing shelters
  • Greenhouse
  • Fencing for security. We need to protect the property…….fencing-off even our animals and chickens, etc
  • Goats. Our Goat population is only 8. We desire to grow our Goat project, so that we can give from it (like we do with Chickens).
  • Chickens. We need to develop our Chicken Bank. We give and sell from there.
  • Incubators. The ones we have are manual. We need automatic-turning Incubators.
  • Accommodation for students. That will be used to accommodate small numbers of students for short courses.
  • Classrooms and Administration Block
  • Accommodations for staff. We need to stay on the property.
  • Skilled man power. That could be volunteer or full-time.
  • Transport. Our car broke down more than two years ago.We need a van and a car.
  • Simple tools
  • Information

Our focus is to reach the young people as we reach the adults. Our concern is: What type of young people are we going to leave for this great continent?

We have already helped so many. Teaching all sorts of things: Food Production and Processing.

We also need to have this project self-sustaining after a few years.

We are dedicated to help others discover organic farming benefits, even on a budget. One way to do this economically is by using food4wealth growing system The link for you is www.hisfarm.org/food4weatlh and it is how we grow the small garden in a mobile home park.

By working together, we will be making a difference in the world by implementing organic farming practices.

We are going to start recommending more products that may help you create your farm. A portion of the net profits will go to Jerry’s Zambia project, as well as other projects that you share with our community members also!

If you want to contact Jerry Directly with some help, here is his email: jkufuna@yahoo.com. Or you can leave a comment with questions or offers of help for Zambia at the end of this post.

We are all connected together in this world. I am so excited to read Jerry’s story and look forward to seeing the Vision that God has given him come to fruition.

The Shocking Truth About Food Shortages

We have seen the news stories about food shortages.  The shocking truth about food shortages is even documented by the news.  Video footage of young children with bloated stomachs that are barely alive.   Mothers and fathers asking for help from whoever will listen and help.  Drought and famine seems to be growing in the news.

Drinkable water is quickly becoming more and more scarce.  Chemicals are added to our drinking water to “protect” end users from disease and bacteria.  Desalination technology is growing quickly as the need for more water continues to rise.  Without clean healthy water, our food quality diminishes also.

What is the shocking truth about food shortages?

truck in wasteland 630 The Shocking Truth About Food Shortages

In my opinion, there does not need to be any food shortages.  We have technology that can provide food even in the desert, using Hydroponics, Aeroponics and Aquaponics.  We can grow fodder for animals using hydroponics like Foddertech systems that can produce up to 6,000 pounds (3 tons) per day.

 

I want to share with you an article that was shared with me from Eat Drink Better.com.  On April 8, 2013 Jennifer Kaplan Shared the following report:

The article suggests that companies dealing in fertilizers/grains/trading, seeds/chemicals and farm equipment all stand to gain from the global food shortage.  And, it comes as no surprise that environmentally unpopular companies like Archer Daniels Midland, DuPont and Monsanto are on the list.

From valuestockguide.com:

The inflation in the food prices is set to continue globally. The demand is rising faster than the supply can keep pace and in 2007 and 2008 there were riots in 60 countries due to run up in the prices of corn, wheat and soybeans …

Agriculture has the potential to be one of the most promising investment themes for the coming decade (sorry Facebook investors!). Here are some of the selected stocks that you can use to play the agriculture theme.

The post goes on to accurately point to two factors causing rising food prices globally:

Increased demand from China.  valuestockguide.com asserts that financial opportunities exist as “established players jockey to lock in supplies of essential grains and position themselves as a supplier to China.” They site the recent bid from the Japanese trading house Marubeni to acquire the US based grains merchant Gavilon (a spinoff from Conagra Foods) as being an obvious way of getting a footing in the Chinese supply channel.

Diversion of agricultural resources to produce biofuels.  The articles suggests that global agriculture giants are investing, and diverting grain, for the Ethanol market.

 

 

The Great news is this:  We as readers to such magazines like Grit, Mother Earth News, Cappers and others who believe that we are the solution are growing, literally, in numbers.

We have seen that in this world, that there is truly no “Lack” of food or water.  There is a lack of knowledge on many peoples part, but not those of us who thrive on the lifestyle of growing our own food.  It does not stop there either.  Look at all of the innovations that are shared in each edition of Grit magazine.

We are growing our own food in extreme conditions here in Colorado.  We use the food4wealth growing system, because of the ease of growing smaller gardens and food plots.  Last year we grew enough food for ourselves and 2 other families.  Even though we were in the middle of a drought, our harvest was plentiful.

 

 

I am excited as the time to plant our garden outside is getting closer.  We have a new farm that is at 8,800 feet in elevation.  We just got the well tested.  It provides 6 gallons per minute.  The water test is not complete, but there are others that are living in the area.  They too grow their own food and live where city power or water is not available.  This is a going to be a great year!

 

The best news is this:  As we grow locally and grow healthy natural food or organic food, the food shortage myth can be eliminated.  Again, this is my opinion, but I do believe that you feel the same way.  Looking forward to hearing how you are living a life of Abundance!

Lowering Living Expenses with Organic Farming

Can you lower your living expenses with organic farming?

That is a great question. In California, they are working to legislate proper food labeling, due to modified food products being used in processed foods.

This will raise the cost of foods in the stores, as well as put some companies out of business. Lawyers will of course make a bunch of money and the government will once again grow due to increased “policing” all of those requirements.

Does that lower your living expenses?

Yes it is draining now 600x400 Lowering Living Expenses with Organic Farming

Let’s take a look at the pros and cons of what will really help you lower your living expenses.

Here is the game of choice.

  1. Does the FDA monitor large corporation closely for compliance?
  2. Can they be everywhere all at once to verify healthy food?
  3. Do you have time to read and understand all of the legal language of the new laws?
  4. How do you know if the food you eat is healthy?
  5. How involved do you want to be in your food choices?
  6. What steps can you take to improve your options?

Let me answer these questions one at a time.

  1. The FDA is a large bureaucracy where most of the people are interested in your health. But they are limited in what they can do, due the fact they can’t be everywhere all at once.
  2. FDA also can not verify all of the food to be healthy, and there are so many rules and regulations that I believe that there is not one person that knows them all. A complex system with many leaders is a hard program to manage efficiently. Thus increasing costs to the consumer.
  3. I am not a lawyer and I believe a yes should mean yes, and no mean no. I do not think changing a definition of a word to get your way is an honorable way of living.
  4. The best way to know if the food you eat is healthy is to grow it yourself. If you can’t grow your own food, find a reputable local farmer and go meet them on their farm. Then ask them if they have food for sale on a regular basis.
  5. The more you get involved in your food choices, the healthier food you can consume. We are all responsible for our own choices. If you do not want to be too involved in those choices, you can always hire someone else to choose for you. You actually do that now if you only buy from the local grocery store or big mega store.

What steps can you take to improve your options?

I am glad that you asked! Here are some that you can do yourself:

  • Write down the vegetables you normally purchase
  • Talk to your neighborhood organic food store and compare prices
  • Find a local farmers market and look for the USDA organic label
  • Choose a local farmer who grows organically and join their CSA (community supported agriculture) group, and if they do not have one, ask them to start one and pre-sell you a portion of their harvest!
  • If you want to grow your own garden, choose a good place to put a garden at your home and start growing!

Lowering your living expenses with organic farming or gardening will be an adventure. Our neighbors children and the parents themselves would come over and just spend time in the garden with us. The children learned about where their vegetables came from and what it tasted like right out of the garden.

Healthy food, learning new ways to save money while at the same time educating yourself and your children is priceless.

Organic Vegetable Gardeningx550x400 Lowering Living Expenses with Organic Farming

We have had many “Garden Parties” spontaneously erupt when we are outside in the garden. The joy of the new growth and eating fresh off the vine or out of the earth continues to be “Priceless” moments in our lives.

 

You can learn for yourself how we experimented and found new ways to garden, just follow the link!

Search and ask questions, it is the best way to know what it is that you want and need.

GMO Food Verses Organic Food

I have been reading and studying about the debate on GMO (Genetically Modified Organisms) food versus Organic Food.  I have to share this Story that shows the outcome looked for with GMO is specifically for a 15 to 20% increase in flesh to sell.  That story was originally published by National Geographic.

Food Concerns

rotten cabbage harvest 500x300 GMO Food Verses Organic Food

There are huge concerns on how these animals will affect the ecosystem, let alone the people who eat them.  National Geographic also shared that some of the Frankenfish (GMO Trout) have been released into the wild to see if they could survive.  Amazing!

We know that there are many side effects of GMO products that were not known when they were first released for consumption.  Look around you and see how the health of the people who are consuming highly modified food products.  

Christie, the PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome)Lady has shared a lot of information from  her research and personal life:

How Can the Wealthiest Industrialized Nation be the Sickest?
~
Americans get sick more often than Europeans or people from any other industrialized nation. Since the mid-1990s, the number of Americans suffering from at least three chronic illnesses nearly doubled. Life expectancy has decreased and infant mortality has increased. Illnesses once rare are now common, with some approaching epidemic levels. For example:
~
Autism now affects one in 88 children (CDC1), compared to one in 25,000 in the mid-1970s
~
Type 2 diabetes rates in the U.S. increased by 176 percent between 1980 and 2010
~
Celiac disease is four times more common now than 60 years ago
~
Alzheimer’s disease is rising at alarming rates. It’s estimated that 5.4 million Americans (one in eight older Americans) now has Alzheimer’s disease, and nearly half of those age 85 and older have it; AD rates have doubled since 1980
~
~ New infectious diseases are increasing in number, according to a 2008 study
~
~ In his documentary, Jeffrey Smith makes a convincing argument that one of the primary forces driving these illnesses is America’s changing food supply. And one of the most profound changes is genetically engineered food. Proving GE food is causing Americans to be sick is a tall order, but the evidence presented in this film is very compelling and should not be ignored.

source: https://pcoslady.wordpress.com/2012/09/15/gmo-foods/

Research

There is a vast amount of information about GMO and how it is far inferior to Organic Food.  Do some of the research for yourself.  Both men and women are affected negatively by lack of Organic Food.  Treat yourself well.

What can you do to heal your body, even if you do not feel sick?

 

  • Grow your own Natural Organic Food
  • Purchase only Organic Food from a local Farmer or gardener
  • Join a CSA (community supported agriculture) group
  • Read Labels
  •  Look at the stickers on fruit – there is a PLU code with either 4 or 5 numbers. If your fruit’s label has 4 numbers, it is conventionally grown. 5 numbers starting with a 9 means it was organically grown, and 5 numbers starting with an 8 means GMO.
  • Avoid the Top Four GMO Crops of Soy, Corn, Canola and Cottonseed – most blended oils in North America contain canola and cottonseed. Replacing these with 100% extra virgin olive oil is a safe alternative.
  • Conventional Sugar – Over 90% of this year’s sugar beet harvest will be Monsanto’s GM Roundup-Ready Sugar Beet. That means if you are using sugar, or eating anything with sugar in it, you’re eating GMOs.
  • In California you can vote on Prop 37 on Nov 6, 2012 to force companies to label all genetically modified food.
  • Choose packaged food wisely.  Up to 75% of food in a grocery store has GMO products
  • Encourage your favorite food providers to label their food GMO-free
  • Drink filtered water

 

My thoughts:

Having been through decades of health issues, I finally chose to take control of my health again.  Eating Organic Food has made a huge difference in my life.  Remember, Healthy mind + Healthy land = Healthy Body.

Remember, October 16 is World Food Day, and in the United States, October 24 is National Food Day.  In an election year, we are empowered by voting to choose the people who represent us as a nation.  Every day, we get to vote what kind of food we eat and what we want for our health and happiness.

Today, May you Choose Live Healthy Food!

Organic Food and Aquaponics

You have a small area, and you want to eat healthier, have you heard of organic food and aquaponics?  With the stress of a busy life, what is it that you do to increase your health?  One way is through eating better and taking a break from the day to day routine of business.  But where do you purchase tasty nutrient rich food?

There is a perception that there is less and less healthy food available in the market, as well as in cafeterias and restaurants.  While the fatty, pre-prepared food has taken over the supermarkets and local stores add stress to our bodies, some people believe that it is getting more and more difficult to find organic food.

organic food 450x300 Organic Food and Aquaponics

Organic food and aquaponics bring the solution for food that is not only tastier, but it is also healthier than the options available in their local grocery store.

 

Here is the perception of our food supply:

  • Lower quality food
  • Higher prices
  • Genetically modified organisms (food crops)
  • Chemical fertilizers
  • Farms that spray chemicals on food to increase the shelf life

What is even more alarming is that the price of organic food appears to grow significantly day by day. Even while the quality of what is considered organic slides down in quality.  There is more regulation required to ensure that what is sold in some stores is good quality food, especially when imported from other countries.  This makes it so fewer and fewer people can afford to buy fresh fruits and vegetables necessary for a balanced diet. The solution is purchasing organic food locally.

If you are looking for an easy fun way to grow your own food, then you should start growing your own organic produce and fish by using aquaponics. The ease and balance of growing your own healthy food is becoming easier and easier.  There is not only training available on the internet, but aquaponic equipment is also available on the internet.  You may even have a supplier of equipment near you as well.

The Benefits of Aquaponics

  • Aquaponics’ principles are simple:
  •  You grow fish in a tank
  • The water from the fish tank feeds your vegetation
  •  Now proliferate the plant seeds
  • Care for them during their development period
  • Only use organic materials in your system
  • In less than one year harvest your own crops.

It is as simple as it can be to get fresh veggies and herbs, grow fish and have a balanced diet with little money and almost no effort. It may sound unbelievable, but this easily attainable as more and more gardeners are starting organic food and aquaponics systems!

 

What is even better is that you can place your mini aquaponic farm wherever you want in your house.

  • You can keep it hidden in your garage or you can boast about it by making it the center of your living room.
  • You can put your small tank and veggies in your apartment!

This will offer you significant independence from the rising prices of organic produce. You will be able to have whatever veggies you want without spending huge amounts of money on the market.

 

This way, not only do you save money for the little pleasures of the life, but you will also have fresh food on your table and will be able to offer your family a healthy, tasty meal. So, why spend lots of money and let others make fortunes on your behalf when you can have everything you need for your meal with the aquaponic farming? It has never been so easy!

 

One more item to remember is that organic food and aquaponics will continue to bring the cost down of healthy food options as more and more farmers and gardeners embrace the practice.  If you have a local market, shop there.  If there is Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) participating farm then enroll in it.  Make friends and eat healthy, what can be better than that?  Show that you have the grit in your life to exercise the freedom to choose a healthy life.

What Are The Benefits Of Organic Food?

Out of the Mouths of children come some of the best questions that have ever  been asked.  Click on the link above and see for yourself what some of the different Organic (Grocery Store Organic) Versus Whole Organic Foods sell you!

So how do you feel about GMO?  (Genetically Modified Organisms)  A genetically modified organism (GMO) or genetically engineered organism (GEO) is an organism whose genetic  material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques.

Can it affect your Health?  Your Heart? Your ability to have a healthy digestive system?  I am going to let you decide for yourself.

If you have to take drugs to counteract the effects of altered fuel for your body you just might say YES!  Lets take a look at what we are buying in the stores, and the cost of not purchasing food that will fuel your body to Health.

Would you put Diesel in your gas powered cars fuel tank and expect it to run properly?  Not really, different fuel for a different engine.  I once worked at a place where they mis-labled the fuel cans and I put diesel in the lawn mower.  What was the outcome?  Smelly exhaust, but the mower ran poorly and I was able to run the entire tank through the engine, since it was already hot.  Once I went to fill it up again, it would not run again.

So what does this have to do with Potato’s?  Well, Vegetables provide fuel for our bodies.  Proper fuel keeps your body healthy and helps get rid of toxins during the digestive process.

Do you really want to add a bunch (pun intended) of contaminants to your body to stress it out?  Believe me, there is a lot more stress already in our lives now than we need.

If you are older like me,  You may remember growing up with fruit trees all around in your neighborhood, yes, even in the city.  I grew up in the northwest for a few years in Spokane, Washington.  Our neighbors had a plum tree that always produced so much fruit that the ground would be full of them if it was not picked on a regular basis.

One time I think we tried to eat all of the fruit on the ground before it went bad.  I got a stomach ache, and soon discovered what the term “regular” meant.

I continued to eat the plums until we moved, and we alway bought our fruit from the farmer who grew it.  Always fesh and juicy. One of my favorites was the oranges.  My favorite.  I have not found many that are that way since.  Maybe I have to move to a warmer climate and grow our own.

Any way,  Think about your own experiences with organic food.  What is your favorite food, and how was it grown?  Tell us your story, and lets find the growers, or become the growers that produce the fuel that not only tastes great, but produces the Perfect Fuel for our bodies.

Remember, You are Totally Awesome, because that is the way you are created!

Miracle Mindshift! Success Stories

Kevin Wilke "During the time I was using the Miracle Mindshift, out of nowhere significantly increased the money into my business while at the same significantly decreased the time I was working in my business.

So now, this is something that came out of nowhere because of this program.

And now... a new branding opportunity has opened and is going to be a great new income opportunity and a bigger business!"

- Kevin Wilke

Hear Kevin's LIVE Success Story:

Lynn Benjamin"Something so beautiful happens each day as I listen to the daily Miracle Mindshift. The best way I can describe the experience is simultaneously getting juiced up a vibrational level, or more, while getting settled right into, grounded into the center of my being.

Today, while listening to day 15, SEVERAL lights in the mansion turned on. A rapid download of aha's begin to make my heart feel different. I'm integrating now, and can say that I will now experience the four directions on a physical level, rather than having the four directions as just concepts. How part of the earth we are. I look forward to a deepening of this physical connection with the four directions.

Thank you for sharing your wisdom, I'm so grateful!"

- Lynn Benjamin

StacyQuinn"I went through the day 11 content, and I was hearing the same critical chatter in my mind. I realized how these rules, this previous programming was resisting my affirmations.

When I did my verbal affirmations, the chatter in my head was actually "talking" over my verbal affirmations. I was inches away from a mirror, looking directly in my own eyes, saying my affirmations and the voice in my head said:
"How could a gift to the world be so ugly?"

I was surprised by my own reaction. I started laughing. I mean belly laughing. I'm still laughing as I write this.

I don't know who that dude was but he's very rude and he's not my friend. I now know what he sounds like and how he talks.

I wanted to send this email to thank you. Because I'm not listening to that jerk anymore."

- Stacy Quinn

Monica_Leccese"I completed my first "Mindshift" after having battled the cacophony of voices and Master Trickster that seem to come along with changing thought patterns. I devoted a portion of each day to the practice, although not the same time each day: to the imaging, writing, and speaking of my declarations and affirmations. I recorded each "Gift" that I received and was sure to be grateful for each one, every day. By the end of the month my declarations were manifesting although not in an "overwhelming" manner. Still...at the end...I was so very grateful. I decided to commence another "shift" ...   I would create a circle, image my declarations, state them...but on a lesser scale than a full practice. After that decision I started to create a circle where I would light a flame to each direction. .......and that's when it happened......I shifted. I can only describe the feeling as the most amazing I have ever experienced: time, the world, my perspective...stopped; the energy rushing through me was so empowering it was nearly overwhelming. I had never before felt so alive, so en pointe in the moment, so...on...purpose. I had rubbed the magic lantern and the genie has held my hand ever since. I have been getting EVERYTHING I have been asking for, to the EXACT degree I have asked. Remember...you get what you ask for."
