Create Your Own Lucky Life

Do you live a Lucky life?  

How do you define a Lucky life?

Things that make me feel lucky, like finding pennies,  or winning a sweepstakes, may not mean a thing to you.  

What would make you feel Lucky?

You can create your own version of a Lucky life, but you, and only you, can decide what your Lucky life looks like, and everyone's looks a little different.

Knowing what your version of a Lucky life would look like is the first step in creating and manifesting it.

Here is a process that I do each day that keeps me focused on feeling lucky.

Each morning I ask myself what would make me feel lucky today? 

My list varies but it may look something like this:
  • go for a run and feel good
  • spend time with my Sweetie
  • see a rainbow
  • skype with my Daughter
  • receive some easy money
  • finish a task at work
  • attending a great concert
  • enjoying a good cup of coffee
  • meeting a sales goal
  • receive some flowers
  • paying all the bills in full for the day, or week
  • going for a walk in the woods

I'm sure you get the idea.  I choose things that make me feel lucky.  They can be "big" or "small".  

Then each evening before going to bed, I write down all of the evidence.

Evidence that supports my belief that I am living a lucky life, right now.

The Law of Attraction says that whatever I am giving attention to and putting my focus on is what I will attract more of. 

In other words, the more ways I find to activate already feeling lucky, I am attracting ways to feel more lucky.

Ask yourself what would make you feel lucky today, and make a list.

Then, each evening, keep an evidence log, and it won't be long before you begin to attract more things and experiences that make you feel lucky. 

Until next time, here's to your lucky life!

Choose Happy Thoughts

I don't know about you but I've always heard "think positive", or "keep a positive mental attitude".

On the other hand, I've also heard, "wake up and smell the coffee", "get your head out of the sand", and "face the facts".

So which is it?

Since we have the freedom to choose, I like to choose thoughts that make me happy.

I believe our thoughts define our choices, choices lead to actions, (or non actions), and the actions, (or non actions), lead to our results.

For instance, let's talk about being "lucky" and winning sweepstakes.

A person who is "facing the facts", so to speak, might be thinking thoughts along these lines.
  • Nobody ever wins sweepstakes.  
  • Some people are just born lucky and I'm not one of them.
  • Sweepstakes are just for show and advertising. 
  • I've never won anything in my life.
  • The odds are so great you just can't win so why waste your time.
  • Buying a lottery ticket is a waste of money.
  • If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all.
Would a person thinking these kind of thoughts even bother to enter or buy a ticket?  Probably not, and of course they will prove themselves right, and never win. We all "know" you can't win if you don't enter or have a ticket.

Thoughts=Choices=Actions=Results

Now I on the other hand prefer to choose thoughts that make me happy.
Thoughts like:
  • Someone's going to win and it could be me.
  • I love winning, winning is fun!
  • If I can dream it, I can do it!
  • Facts can change, and they do.
  • Something wonderful is happening in my life.
And guess what? I've won! I've won trips, my Toshiba laptop, over $2,000 in cash, a shopping cart full of groceries, diamond rings and jewelry, Lenox fine china, and more. 
Some lottery winnings
Now that I have won so many different things, I have more happy thoughts to choose from like: I am lucky, I am a winner.

Sometimes it can be difficult to come up with happy thoughts when negative ones seem to be so plentiful.

One easy way I use to find happy thoughts is to ask myself, what would I be thinking if I were the winner, if I were lucky?

You can do this with anything you desire, including money, a job, your soul mate, or your health.

Just ask, what would I be thinking if I already had it?  Before you know it, you'll have a whole list of happy thoughts you can choose to think.

Remember,
 Thoughts=Choices=Actions=Results

 
Choose happy thoughts!

Until next time, Love and Luck.

California Dreaming...Does anyone really win sweepstakes?





Does anyone really win sweepstakes? Yes, they really do! 

I am one of the lucky grand prize winners and here is how it all started for me.

Early one morning in 2006 as I was getting some new tires put on my car, I sat in the waiting room glancing through a magazine, when an article about a lady that had won a lot of sweepstakes caught my eye.  My first thought was, does anyone really win those things?

The article talked about a lady that called herself the "Contest Queen" that had won lots of great prizes like a shopping spree, a new automobile, and lots of great trips.  Sounded interesting, so I ordered a copy of her book and read it.  

I was so inspired, that I decided to subscribe to a sweepstakes newsletter.

When my newsletter arrived I was amazed at all the wonderful prizes being given away.  

I immediately set my goal to win a trip to California.  I have always wanted to go to California. 


A caricature I drew.
I immediately started entering sweepstakes every week and it wasn't long before I was winning smaller prizes like gift cards, running shoes, t-shirts, etc. 

I continued entering each week and finally, it happened!  Just two days before my birthday, on July 9th, 2009, a FedEx envelope arrived.  My entry had been chosen as a Grand Prize Winner! 






It was the Smucker's Stars On Ice Sweepstakes and I could choose a trip to any city on the tour, and take up to five people with me.

 



I chose to go to Los Angeles.  Woo hoo!  California, here we come!

Smucker's put us up in the Roosevelt Hotel on Hollywood Blvd. My daughter and I have always been ice skating fans, and we were so excited to meet Olympic Gold Medalist Evan Lysacek.

We all loved California so much that we didn't want to leave.  In fact, we all decided we wanted to live there.  

 “Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

In August 2012, my daughter actually realized that goal. You can read her story here.  California Move

It's always amazing to me, how one decision, one small action, leads to another, and another, and can eventually lead to huge change.

Back then I was new to the law of attraction and didn't really know how to vibrationally align with my goals.  

It was three years from the time I set my goal to win a trip to California, until I won.  It only took me three months when I won the trip to Las Vegas.

There is a three step process for manifesting I've learned, and it is:
  • Intention (set the intention for what you want)
  • Attention (give the goal focused attention)
  • No tension (let it go, feel as good now as if you already had it, trust the Universe to bring it about)
I was really good at the first two steps, the third step,  "no tension" is where my manifestation got held up, but as you can see in my second win, I am learning.
 

Are you ready to manifest your goals? As your coach, I can assist and support you in setting your Intention, giving it Attention, then focusing on No tension, and finding ways to feel good now.


Have you ever used this process?  What did you manifest? Share your manifestation in the comments below.

Until next time,
Love and Luck,

How I Won a Trip to Las Vegas!



It all started one day last September when I heard my favorite classic rock station ask, "Would you like to win a trip to Las Vegas?"


To which I instantly replied to whoever could hear me, "Well of course I would, are you nuts?"

The announcer then proceeded to explain that several times during the week they would announce the contest and you had to be the tenth caller in order to get your name in the drawing.  Then, on a specific day in October, you had to be listening at a specific time and if your name was drawn you had ten minutes to call them up and claim your trip. 

I thought about it for a few minutes, imagining myself winning, and how much fun it would be for my Sweetie and I to go to Vegas.  I hadn't been there since I took my daughter for her 21st birthday and that was over eight years ago, and he had never been to Vegas at all. It was definitely time.

So right then and there I decided that was for me. I wanted to win the trip to Las Vegas. 

I immediately started to prepare.   
  
  • I checked my calendar to make sure I didn't already have something planned for the date of the trip. (The radio station had a specific date you must take the trip.) I didn't have anything scheduled so I wrote it in.  "Going to Las Vegas"
  • Then I put the date in my phone calendar with an alert to remind me to be up early on the day of the drawing so I could be listening and prepared to call in when they drew my name.
  • Next, I contacted my nephew to see if he could run my retail shop while I was away.
  • I got online and ordered a free copy of the Las Vegas Visitor's Guide. So I could start planning my activities right away.
I was really excited! Woo Hoo! We were going to Las Vegas!

Each time the radio announcer gave the cue, I started calling, and calling, and calling.  It actually took me about three weeks before I was finally the tenth caller and my name in the drawing, but I was in. I felt so confidant I would win, every time I heard them announce another contestant's name, I just thought about Vegas and how fun it would be.

The Wednesday morning of the drawing, I got up early and tuned it. Sure enough the DJ announced, "A**** Miller you are the winner and have ten minutes to call us and claim your trip".  WHAT?? A. Miller? I'm Kathleen Miller. Hmmm, I must admit I had a moment of disappointment. 

Then suddenly, I got really excited because I realized, I was only half a name away from winning. I know it sounds crazy but I actually jumped up and down in excitement because I was so close.  That meant the Universe was working on it, it was on the way!  I celebrated the closeness of the match.

After that, I just let it go.  When my Vegas visitor's guide arrived in the mail, I looked through it still thinking I would love to take my Sweetie to Vegas.  Who knows? All possibilities exist.

A couple of weeks went by, the weather turned colder, and it was close to the date I had marked "going to Las Vegas" in my calendar.  I admit, I felt kinda down, and a wee bit cranky when I saw it right there in print, in my calendar, reminding me I was not the winner. 

Knowing that what I am feeling is what I am vibrating and attracting, I knew I needed to find some way to shift into "a better feeling place".  So I decided to go home from work, relax, kick off my shoes, sip some hot coffee, (it was already snowing here), and enter some online sweepstakes while listening to Christmas music.  I just love Christmas music.  It always makes me feel good.  So for about the next hour, that's what I did.  It felt like inspired action.

I subscribe to a sweepstakes newsletter online, so I entered for all kinds of things.  Cars, trips, computers, cash, etc.  I find it lots of fun to enter because there's always the possibility you may win.  I love that feeling, hopeful and full of possibilities.  After all, you have to enter to win. 

I went on about my routine after that, never giving it anymore thought.  Then Wednesday, Dec 12th, I received a phone call to verify that I was indeed Kathleen Miller, birth date, etc. because I was the grand prize winner of a trip to Las Vegas!   

Am I excited? Absolutely!  Am I surprised? Did I just get Lucky? Not at all.  Why?  Because, I was really clear about what I wanted.  I had imagined how much fun it would be and vibrationally aligned with that.  I prepared to receive it, and took inspired action.  I didn't let not winning the trip from the radio station shift me back into "reality", I celebrated the closeness of the match, instead.

The Universe delivered back to me what I had visualized, even better.  I get to choose when I want to go.

Way to go Universe, that's the way I like to roll!
