One too many mornings and a thousand miles behind!

The law of attraction works and when you pay attention to feeding your subconscious mind with positive messages your life will change.  Oprah is the best expert that I can think of for applying this knowledge in her life.  We can control our destiny once we tap into the POWER that is within us.
Stephen R. Covey wrote a book called The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People that will help you to bring that framework that works for so many successful people into your business or professional life.  Reading takes time but the rewards are tremendous because those who have gone before you and have learned how to do what it is that you wish to achieve can show you how.

I am a Johnny Cash fan and he always tickled me when he sang in a taunting but humerus way with his wife, June Carter, 'I'm going to Jackson to teach them what they don't know how!'  Funny line and he was such a man I'd fly to Jackson just to see if he meant what he said!
Most of all time is our biggest gift that we waste, much like we do with water when we turn on the faucet and leave it running without being prepared to use it for a specific purpose and have it timed with the activity that we want to achieve.  We have an automatic assumption that it keeps on running and since childhood have run the tap water away unnecessarily just like we have with another commodity - our time.  It's time to change all that and start by making a commitment to reading a book a month for your personal development.  I will list some of the other books that were recommended by the leadership at an Amway conference I attended this weekend.

Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash sang a song about getting behind and how that left them feeling 'One too many mornings and a thousand miles behind.'  It doesn't have to be that way if you plan your time and do the things that are necessary to stay motivated to get ahead.
Please join me tonight 7 pm to 9 pm with JoAnna at the Amway Center, Victoria House, 37 Southampton Row, London WC1B 4DA.  Network to success and all are welcome to attend the Amway Business presentation (from 8pm to 9pm.)  Invite your partners/spouses.
Warm Wishes for your success and transition into business.  A team is always available to support and help you on your way.  Do not feel alone and look at all the best opportunities for you to move forward with your life.
Rita.

You can keep making a difference in the world.

Today I read a post by Tony Robbins who is a renowned coach which said that it's important to let the world know you are alive and active in it!  Think about what that means to you as you face a challenge with the Board of Nursing.  You can keep your focus on the issue and how to navigate through the legal system and how to maintain a living otherwise you will be like a possum and wait until it's over and the result may not be what you want.

That is why I teach nurses to become proactive with the process.  The place to start is way before any investigation is launched by doing things to keep yourself protected legally and financially.  This means getting a prepaid insurance plan so that you will have resources to get an Attorney who is specialized in license law to defend your license.  Do the research ahead of time and it may come in handy for a friend when they are frantically looking for an Attorney.  Keep a business card with you at all times and if you are approached directly by an investigator from the BON you will simply present the card and tell the person that they can contact your Attorney and he/she will set up an appointment.  Then call your Attorney and keep your cell phone with you as you will need to keep in close touch with your Attorney about any appointments and documentation that your will be required to present.
Meet with your insurance representative and find out about a short term insurance plan that would provide income for a period of a year or more so that you can have the extra financial security of knowing that you can continue to provide for your family.  Keep all these documents in a file and be sure that your payments are kept up to date.  Some short term insurance companies will role over into a Life Insurance Policy at the date it matures.  Check on these things so that you are always keeping the money you have put into the policy.
Business is a good thing and there is nothing to loose by becoming an entrepreneur and in your spare time you can do what you most like to do and earn extra income.  The extra income may be a source of income for you in the event that you are unable to work under your license.  Although some nurses work in areas such as coaching and writing and use their nursing credentials I recommend not to do this because what you make yourself vulnerable to having an issue attached to your license that can expand into your business.  Keep license and business separate entities and make sure that in your bio you do not make reference to your nursing background so that people do not assume that you are providing a nursing service.
Be aware that there are laws involving a business license and it's best to consult with an attorney to set up your business with the state and register it properly.  There are several sites like www.wix.com where you can develop your own website and blog.  There are no costs unless you wish to upgrade.  Start social networking with Twitter.com, Facebook.com and LinkedIn.com and develop a following as a marketing strategy. 
Be clear about what your vision is and write this down.  In your mission statement write what it is that you wish to do/influence through your work.  Let your friends know what you are doing and begin to network in all situations.  Join local and national networking groups and attend meetings and seminars to get referrals and to gain knowledge about starting and building a business from experts who present.
It might sound like a lot to do but if you have a plan A and a plan B as they say you are prepared to meet the unexpected.  Your confidence will build as you learn about building a business.  Many of the network marketing companies have all the coaching and leaflets to sell products available to your at a minimum fee.  Keep accurate records of all your expenses and use the information when you file your tax returns.  If you have a tax accountant you might find out about how often to file and what items are tax deductible that you will need to provide your business service.  This may include office equipment and technology such as computers and iPhone.  Make sure that you keep receipts and warranties.
Enjoy your life and the freedom you have to create more abundance as you add this extra layer of security.  Attitude is everything and when you start receiving checks into your account from customers you will feel motivated to do more to increase your earnings.  Check with your credit union about accounts and interest for a personal as well as business account.  They generally have good rates and have the reputation of being ethical in the current "banksters" environment.
The convenience of using an iPhone is that you can keep up to date with your business and respond to clients immediately.  Set up meetings and network generally.  Once you start to learn the technology you can expand by using different gadgets such as hashtags.  Mine for "nurses undergoing state board discipline" is #NUSBD so that people can search for information and links on twitter.  I also noted that there are twitter forums where everyone who is interested in a topic for nursing undergoing state board discipline can join.
Oprah was quoted that Spirituality is the basis for all our work and success.  I believe this to be true and it is important that you find the right path for you.  For myself I meditate, follow a vegetarian diet, abstain from alcohol and any other chemicals.  Live a good ethical life and find those who are on the path to share and support the way of life that is one that leads to liberation.  Maslow used the term self actualization which is the same thing.  Our life is short and the time we need to devote to our practices and relationship with God is the first and utmost important priority.  Don't let this opportunity to go deeper and learn to tap into the love and peace inside that is not only comforting and uplifting but when all other areas of life can fall apart we can stay steady within.  That is somewhere inside where no one else but God can enter and you can be in a state of bliss and joy or attach to outer circumstances and feel the pain.  It's about attitude and thinking and that creates a level of feeling that is either positive or negative.
Willie Nelson is always calm and positive and I read a quote by him that said "If you learn to think positive thoughts you will get positive results in your life."  It is as simple as that.  Keep a daily record and jot down your thoughts and learn to transcend even the most difficult and trying times by remaining positive in your outlook.  Oprah says that the future looks so bright that she has to wear sun glasses.  Be that way yourself.
Contact your State Representative and report any issues and how your are being related to and ask that he/she contact Rep. Tony Shipley (R-TN) and duplicate the two laws he wrote for nurses in each state.  All will change for the better as more politicians take note and become involved.  Like other things unless they hear from us they do not know there is an issue that needs to be addressed such as Rep. Tony Shipley found out when he had to correct the State Board of Nursing for "blatantly breaking state laws."  They are not above the law and Representatives know the law.
Please feel free to comment or contact me.  Keep in prayer and know that you can get through any difficulty with God's Grace.

Live from the heart.

Having spent many years on the spiritual path I am very attuned to other's energy and their tone and choice of words which can be truly a challenge for me.  I realize that it is perhaps a cultural thing that people can seem pushy and lack true empathic linking with another.  My background in psychiatric nursing and my education also plays a role.  I am protective of myself and normally don't engage with people until I know a bit more about them for these reasons.

I received an expected phone call related to a program that was being offered on a social network site.  Because I am working as a Professional Life Coach I was interested in learning but did not know the cost involved which was a barrier for me at this time.  I was the first one to put the discussion into a business context by asking what her work was.  She seemed a little surprised but I knew that at that point I had taken over control.  She informed me of her own success and that of her partner before asking me if I was happy with my life and lived where I wanted.

I realise that much is written about material thinking and bringing success through energetic work.  It's OK and I know that our lives have to be in balance to bring the things we desire.  I do believe that we are destined to go through karma that we would not know about but in order to clear it from our slate have to go through events to get ourselves cleared of the past burdens, even from previous lifetimes.  As a devotee of a Spiritual Master I have absolute trust that I am in the right place in my life for what I need to learn and develop and that struggling against what is doesn't bring harmony that is needed to attract prosperity.

I have had two Spiritual Teachers and my original Teacher opened my heart and since the time that I was under her direction I have led my life from my heart.  My current teacher relates to our everyday lives with an emphasis on ethics and application of right action in our lives.  We are taught to be accountable for every action and thought that we have that is negative and keep a journal record to send to him if we wish.  This is how we grow by going deeper into our self and having true understanding about who we are.  We can skip the rudimentary basics of spirituality as "boot camp" so to speak and jump into the luxury realm of life.  This is where people truly get burned and turn to other ways of coping to feel love, joy, peace etc. though alcohol and drugs.  Of course it wouldn't be everyone who would handle success this way but the risk is high if you don't have the spiritual growth to ground you. 

For now I have made my way through legal battles to do with my career.  It has been a set back in one sense but has been a boon in another.  I met my Teacher a year ago and have spent time with him in Chicago.  I have been reading and writing and following political events on line.  Just today I signed up to write for an online news publication under the category of children and family.  I have worked most of my career with children and adolescents and love to help people find joy in their family life.  It takes commitment in any relationship to feel joy even with yourself.  My Teacher used to tell us that we had to "unearth the joy."  We are conditioned to believe that happiness is outside ourselves and we have elevations in mood when we buy new goods or do well on exams etc. but this is temporary joy and doesn't reach the level of bliss.  Your God is at home right now in your heart!  Open the door and let Him in!!

Whatever work God has given you to do be completely absorbed in it and offer your total self.  If it is money that motivates you it will not bring you the happiness that you will have for the love of your work alone.  Always go the extra mile for people.  Someone I know shared a picture of his presentation at an important meeting regarding a voting rights issues.  I know that he can give his total all to this project because he was able to share his experience so openly and when you do that other's connect with you.  It takes a vulnerable nature to keep going out into the world of stone hearted people and demonstrating how to care.  It can be done and carrying the light is what some have been given to do.  Let your light shine and light others lights on the way!

Life is such a beautiful journey with many turns and unexpected events.  Learn everything you can from your religion and live the way you are taught.  I have found that my love for Christ has deepened since studying with Spiritual Master's who have helped me with my own inner journey.  Being vegetarian is a necessary component of spiritual transcendence and my Master asks "Why make your body into a graveyard?"  I hope to become active through writing to stop factory farming which is about the most evil thing I have seen.  See the video "Food.Inc."

Know that no matter how your life looks right now it's in a process and God is in control.  Keep your goals written down and work toward them everyday.  Say prayers.  If doors are closed and not easy to open don't try to force them open.  Find another way to earn a living and thank God for His protection.  Seek a spiritual mentor and Life Coach who can help you find the right path for you.  Someone who has gone ahead of you and knows the effort involved and courage that it takes to encounter the spiritual path.  It is not for the faint hearted but God will get you to the goal of Liberation.  That is the goal of mankind and our purpose for being. 

Sleep well tonight and sweet dreams.  Think of all those who love you before you go to sleep and know that angles surround you while you sleep.
