Smiles and More are Contagious - Pass Them On

A smile is a curve that sets everything straight. ~Phyllis Diller

If a smile sets everything straight then a compliment or validation sets everything right. When you wake up in the morning late and realize it’s Monday, you have to go to the dentist after a meeting with your boss all it takes is a breath, a smile, a compliment or a funny moment to change your way.

Hearing someone tell you that you’re beautiful, smart, hilarious or all of the above is like setting foot on solid ground after being on a turbulent airplane ride for hours. It doesn’t matter if the sun is shining or rain is pouring, being validated for something you did or for someone you are is brilliant.

There’s No Such Thing as a Bad Day

You might want to disagree with me but it’s never a bad day; it’s a wrong decision. If you change your thought process, realize what you have to be thankful for and smile you’ll immediately make a difference in your day.  When there’s a line up at your favourite coffee shop and you go to order and find out the person in front of you paid for your coffee don’t you feel a lot better? Why not pass it on and do the same for the person behind you?

Next time you’re stuck in traffic sing the song that’s playing on the radio, put down your windows and sing out loud. I bet you you’ll make someone’s day and in turn yours will be made/

No matter what you have planned for the rest of the day, how busy you think you are, take the time to watch this video and pass it on. The world will be happier for it.

Live! With Regis and Kelly, The Law of Attraction and Sarah?

Blogs 3 Responses »
Jul 132010

I just got back to Moncton from Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island where I saw Live! With Regis and Kelly live! with my husband. It was amazing. The weather promised rain and it poured on Sunday, keeping us inside and under cover all night. We took a drive down to the set, saw that the place for the audience was uncovered and wondered how soaked we were going to be.

I didn’t wonder long.

We went to a store that sold poncho’s for $3 but decided if we were going to be wet we may as well be soaked. My inlaws came with us, to look after our son while we were at the show, and they continued to warn us of torrential downpours and advised us to bring a raincoat. I told them not to worry.

My Intention Held Strong

I told them it would be overcast, warm and perfect. That not a raindrop would fall. I planned to even leave my jacket at the cottage I was so convinced the weather would hold off. There was a tiny bit of doubt, hearing so much negativity from my inlaws and the constant worry from them that we would be so uncomfortable and wet. I contradicted them every thought of the way.

I did grab my jacket on the way out as black clouds were rolling in and I didn’t want to be caught without it on tv.

I shouldn’t have. Even though the crowd kept talking of rain, the clouds continued to roll in and threaten it, my husband and I continued to believe we’d be fine and make it through dry.

Wet Feet

Suffice it to say not a drop fell. Our feet got wet and muddy and we loved it. Everyone else sat and whined, bickered and continued to predict rain but we held strong. Our spirits weren’t dampened at all and we enjoyed the experience to its fullest.

Returning to the cottage, my son and my inlaws we were thrilled to point out that not a drop of rain fell and it was great to see my mother inlaw taking my son out for a walk even though she “knew” it would pour.

I was watching history in the making. Way to go PEI!!

Next time I see Regis and Kelly so close I’ll be on the stage telling them about my determination to make my books bestsellers.

Look out Twilight and Harry Potter – there’s a new girl in town that can stay up all day and night and knows the magic of believing.

So Absolutely Thrilled I'm Shaking!!!

The Law of Attraction worked wonderfully! When I heard that Live! With  Regis and Kelly was coming to a neighbouring province of Prince Edward Island I knew I’d be on the show, I just didn’t know how.

I wrote them about The Adventures Of Sammy, I sent them a copy of Sending You Sammy and I requested tickets just like 12 000 people did. I eagerly awaited the news and was thrilled to receive it today – 2 tickets for the live taping of Live! With Regis and Kelly in PEI!!!!!!

What I’m Wearing

In true Adventures Of Sammy/ BananaBoy fashion I found my outfit and, although I wouldn’t ordinarily blog about what I’m wearing I want you to keep an eye out for me so I will now.

I have found brown and bright yellow checkered shorts and a bright yellow t-shirt! I couldn’t pass it up as the perfect ensemble for my efforts in trying to get the attention of Regis and Kelly. I’m still making every effort possible to talk about Sending You Sammy on the show and I think my yellow attire will stand out among the crowd (if you’re going please don’t wear yellow – or do, complete with a large pin, in support of BananaBoy).

It’s Outside and Live!

My husband just came home to announce that the taping of Live! With Regis and Kelly is outside. I had to laugh as I knew that and thought he did, too. When he mentioned I never said a word I said I clearly remember telling him it was on the Confederation Landing in Prince Edward Island – the connection wasn’t made, to my dismay.

He’s now nervous that the weather will not cooperate (either it will rain or we’ll be covered in mosquito bites) but I know that everything will be perfect thanks to the Law of Attraction.

Live! With Regis and Kelly’s Guests for Monday July 12, 2010

I recently learned that the country music stars Lady Antebellum will be guests on Monday’s show along with Peter Facinelli most recently from the famous Twilight series. But, I just found out and know my husband will be thrilled too, he was a star of the Fastlane television series which is one of my husband’s favourite shows! I can’t wait to tell him.

Make sure you’re watching on Monday July 12th and see if you can Find Sarah!

You Have An IPad! Do You Still Have the Box?

Reviews No Responses »
Apr 212010

Riches come to us in all different shapes and sizes. We’ve all been told the stories of when we enjoyed the simpler things in life, the least expensive items amused us more than the things that cost our parents a small fortune. Some of us even remember those days when the letters to Santa were actually fulfilled and we still played with the packaging more.

I remember having fun with brown paper, dull pencil crayons, and an idea. My best moments were playing “alligator pond” while I bounced and climbed from one piece of furniture to the next. Walks in the forest were safe, inspiring and my imagination was peaked and entertained me for weeks.

Bed time was the best time for me when I didn’t share a room. I’d take my Fisherprice flashlight, the one that I could change the colour of the light (if you know where I can buy one now I’d love one for my son!) and lay on my back, shine the flashlight to the ceiling, often through my blanket, and compose the most amazing story ever told, or thought, or so I thought. I’d drift off believing I was a princess in a castle by the sea with the perfect children, the best husband and no where else I’d rather be.

Now it’s all about having those simple moments back when then it was all about escape. Life is too often about what we don’t have instead of enjoying what we do. I have my perfect son, imagination, my cardboard boxes and dull pencil crayons. I have a husband who loves and supports me in everything I do. I have fans and dreams and achievements and am perfectly happy with who I am and where I am. Although my house isn’t on the beach, it’s certainly not a castle and I still have bills to pay I am rich knowing that my life is perfect as it is and, unbelievably and seemingly impossibly so, it gets better and more magical every day.

Will you be satisfied, even for a moment, with the box again?

Thank you for reading,

You Are the Reason I Know It Will Happen

Mar 252010

There’s a huge difference between belief and knowledge and I’ve almost always used the terms belief, believe, believing etc where I should have been declaring my confident knowledge. Someone recently pointed this out to me and I was shocked at my indifference to the term due to the fact that I trusted in my heart that I intended to use knowledge instead.

I believe I am an intelligent woman, especially outside of the normal education system. When I’m not playing with my son, being with my husband or writing I’m reading. Normally I do read fiction but that’s because I am learning how to write it. Once in a while I stray from this and am so thankful I do. I’ve read The Intention Experiment and am now using the power of positive intention to complete my daily routine. I’ve also used this to attract those who know about and trust in the power of intention and am continually inspired by those I meet.

I’ve read The Science of Success and now question everything that happens in my life and, in doing so, can take a step back and see what good has come out of every situation.

Not only am I making a daily effort to spread the word of this magnificent outlook to and connect with people to make this journey of education have an even greater effect on me I’m passing it on to my 4 month old son.

Each and every moment I spend with him I’m thinking about how great he is, how successful he’ll be because he has all the support and resources around him. Even though he’s only 4 months his brain is working harder than anything I’m aware of and now is the time to influence him in the most positive way I know how.

Surrounding him with love, books, knowledge and encouragement I’m creating a world of proof so this little guy can see the immediate effects of knowing you’re attracting what you want and need. Take this post, for example. I’ve already attracted you somehow to read this post. I’ve attracted over 700 votes for my son to win a contest and will continue to attract all the votes necessary to take the lead and maintain it until April 15, 2010 when the votes are reset and the contest begins again.

To be a part of this all you need to do is vote at Baby Stages and attract your friends to do the same.

I appreciate you reading this and know you’ll be a part of passing on the law of attraction to my son.

Sending health, happiness and wealth your way through positive intentions,

My Book Review of The Intention Experiment by Lynne McTaggart

Reviews 1 Response »
Jan 232010

Wow, what an amazing book. At first I was completely overwhelmed with the convoluted way of saying what needed to be said but I read on, realizing that the message needed to be explained thoroughly for it to be trusted. With scientist after scientist being referenced, including: Fritz-Albert Popp, Sai Ghosh, Ingo Swann, Helmut Schmidt, and the list goes on, the Law of Attraction was presented in several different ways.

With intention comes magic and to know that it’s been studied for many years around the world is proof enough for me that there’s evidence to back it up. Although I didn’t need scientific proof as I had my own life experience I’m glad that someone was able to put so much research together to attempt to convince the skeptic.

The Intention Experiment is not over either as Lynn McTaggart continues to ask for help to get concrete proof of the power of intention. Even if you haven’t read the book which I do highly recommend reading through it more than once, you can participate in a worldwide experiment which may finally make the Law of Attraction as believable as the law of gravity. The book didn’t focus and barely mentioned the Law of Attraction but it touched on it all the same.

Pick up your copy today and visit The Intention Experiment now to participate in the next worldwide scientific experiment.

Law of Attraction at Work

Jan 172010

This weekend brought back some sweet and not so sweet memories, friends and wonderful times but that wasn’t the best moment, although they were fantastic. The particular moment I’ll always remember, cherish and talk about is the comment on my parenting.

I was thinking how great it would feel to be told I was being a good mother to my two month old son. I believe I am, I know I’m doing my best and that my husband and I have made very many important decisions such as no television or soother; important to myself although they made not be consider right by every parent out there. I decided long before I had a child that I would not have my child become dependent on a soother or television. Thus far William hasn’t even seen a soother and has watched less than a minute of television (we had him watch Halifax ring in the New Year and the ball drop in New York).

I’m proud because I stayed true to my feelings and haven’t caved on my beliefs and am even more proud of my husband for following my leads and doing the same. Whether or not these decisions are correct or not we feel that we have been doing what’s best for our child.

Only a few moments after the thought of how great being recognized for what I’ve been doing was I told by someone I greatly respect that Paul and I have surprised him by being perfect parents. What I find even more compelling is who said it and that it was said completely randomly.

I trust the Law of Attraction, I know that it exists and this moment was still surprising but amazing at the same time. My weekend was complete with best friends, terrific memories, and lasting impressions that will forever be cherished.

Baby Boy Butland and the LOA

Blogs No Responses »
Dec 012009

Giving birth to my first child was a daunting experience even though I made every effort to remain positive throughout the entire pregnancy. I put forth the best of intentions to have everything go smoothly – concentrating on the date of birth and how long the delivery would take. I was surprised by the outcome for both – one more pleasantly than the other but I made it and now have a wonderful little boy on my hands.

When talking to him, as I am constantly doing, I put forth a great amount of effort to be extremely positive and feel that, for the most part, I’m doing a great job of this. There are times, of course, I say something negative and only realize it when it’s out into the universe. It makes things more difficult when people around us are constantly telling him negative things.

So far I’ve said “life is tough, isn’t it”, “what’s the trouble?”, “you’re so angry”, “why so sad?”, and these are just what I recognized and can remember (being sleep deprived makes you forget things). I’ve heard others say things like ‘life is terrible at this young age’, ‘doesn’t life suck?’ etc. It baffles me every day how negative of a world we live in especially when people (including myself) know how great things are when you remain positive.

If you have any advice at all for how to give little William the best chance of picking up only positive vibes please let me know. Every effort is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for reading,

The Healing Path Guided Meditations by Bev and Melissa Crossman

Reviews No Responses »
Aug 212009

The back of the CD states “Healing is done on four different levels: emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually.” As it promises, this compilation does it all.

It’s approximately 45 minutes of pure positivity and spoken with such gentleness and calm it makes you feel like you’re in the moment the two, Bev and Melissa, describe. Matched with brilliant music by Stephane Boudreau, the meditations bring to life the positive force inside you which can sometimes be quite difficult to find.

From Gratitude to the Chakra Garden, The Healing Path Guided Meditations reverberates for hours and makes one feel loved, through and through.

The idea of the Law of Attraction certainly brings a lot of like minded people together and this is a portion of that positivity. You can embrace even more by visiting Positive Vibes today and picking up your own copy of The Healing Path. Ask Chapters Moncton for your copy today!

The Law Of Attraction Has Been A Struggle

My News No Responses »
Jul 022009

With my first pregnancy although I’ve been trying to think positively I have been suffering greatly and so have those around me. Today, I’ll be changing that.

I opened my email to The Secret newsletter I’ve been receiving to see the question “How do I stop negative thoughts?”. I was just thinking that exact same thing all week but the answer is simple.

Think positive ones.

Don’t think about how you put an end to that stuffy nose, the watering eyes, the humidity, etc. Think about what is great in your life and you won’t have the time nor room for those thoughts.

Today I have planted the seed of thinking about how fantastic it will be to bring my baby home to a new house in the country, how thrilled my husband will be to see the baby outside of my belly, and how we’ll finally be able to put all our parenting thoughts into action.

I just know these small but important gems of my life will keep me going and will make my stuffy nose be nothing more than a reminder of what is yet to come.
