I am celebrating tonight and honouring my mentor and friend Bob Yeager. Bob is a person who truly deserves (but doesn’t seek) the title ‘internet guru’. He has taught me a crucial lesson about internet marketing through his WEST programme: it works most successfully when it is combined with authenticity.
As artists we express our authenticity through story, in paint, in words, in music, whatever our medium is. Then when we combine that voice with all the technical knowledge, bingo, we start to manifest real wealth.
Having learned the hard lesson of ‘finding my voice’, I recognise this teaching as absolutely ‘on the money’. This applies to whatever business you have and whatever artistic medium you are in.
When we say ‘show me the money’, we don’t always want to be taught the back office lessons of personal development, but I have discovered these are equally important to receive the money!
Don’t just take my word for it, listen to the testimonials of Bob’s other students in WEST that were recorded for this online party taking place tonight.
I wish you could listen in and join us, and maybe you will another time.
How did you discover your voice?
As always, leave me your comments – I enjoy reading these stories.
I woke up in the middle of the night with the words, ‘Rachel Smiles’ clearly in my consciousness. I grabbed my pen on my bedside table and in the dark, scribbled these words in my journal, because I knew I wouldn’t remember them when I was fully awake. I had no idea whether I would be able to read them in the morning because I couldn’t see the page, but I knew it was important to write them down.
I just googled Rachel Smiles and this is what I got:
You may know this story already, but I did not. I was moved to tears.
Rachel Scott was the first person killed at Columbine High School on April 20, 1999. Her acts of kindness and compassion coupled with the contents of her six diaries have become the foundation for one of the most life-changing school programs in America.
Just days before my dream I had shared with my mentors Bob Yeager and Rachel Goddard my desire to start a revolution in women’s healthcare. Rachel and I have been talking about this coming to fruition in me for several months. Gradually I have been building up to this point in myself where I feel strong enough, awake enough to take this on, to take that first step, to plant my flagpole in the ground, which I did on Friday on my blog, to invite people to join me and contribute their stories.
When I read Rachel’s story I knew I had been given a powerful message of encouragement, maybe even directly from her – isn’t this just amazing – I don’t really have all the words for this yet.
What I do know for sure is that I have now started a chain reaction, as she felt called to do, and sadly she had to lose her life for this vision to come to fruition. I saved my life. I survived cancer. I came through that challenge, and now I want to build this huge community in women’s health, where every woman counts. Every woman’s voice is heard. Every woman’s message, story and intuition about her body and soul wisdom is taken as seriously as any drug, prescription or otherwise.
The other thing I know for sure is that I am writing 3 books – I have written 1, and am working on the 2nd.
Then I read Amazon’s review of Rachel Smiles book and discovered
it is the 3rd book in a series of 3! What graceful guidance was at work.
I’m sharing this story with you because when we commit ourselves to our own ‘revolution’, support and resources show up from surprising places.
I invite your ideas, encouragement and wild spirit, to connect me to other wild spirits who want to join with me in bringing this vision I have to fruition.
"Your paintings are like auragraphs. You pick up the information from the person and express it through art. However, they are on an altogether deeper level - not dealing with the outer projection of ourselves, not even with the spirit, but on a soul level. They are soul reflections".
