Marcia, thank you so much for sharing your story. I was personally touched listening to what you went through. It reminds us all that life is filled with ups and downs and yet we can overcome much if we have faith in ourselves and resilience to still go for what is important in our lives. Fear stops many of us from truly pursuing our passions. I know when I can break through the fear into action steps..Opportunities may appear. I commend you for all that you have done in helping and inspiring others to pursue their dreams.

Dear Marica

Thank you for sharing your story…Today is the second day of Jan and just happened to sit at the computer and see your message. At this time in my life I do feel stuck, and yes to be honest a little fearful too and it is a struggle on many/every level and I have been wondering…what am I doing that I am not aware of….in not allowing life to be full filled in every area in my personal life, relationship with my soul-mate and life partner ( who is presently in another country)and unsure when I will see him again.. and in my business, my passion a healing cream, but have only one doctor client Financial out of cash, Too long and too many details to go into…All the areas in life you have mentioned.
Its wonderful that we have people like you in our lives to see it can be done and achieved …no matter what the so called reality is?
With Much Appreciation

Hi Marcia. First of all I’d like to say that you are an incredible being. Thankyou. I aspire to achieve your level of belief and faith in all that I desire. I am a 50 yr old mom of 4 children plus a foster son that we have had for almost 4 years. I’ve been fostering for 9 years fulltime, since my almost 9 year old son was 2 months old. I have 2 children from this husband. Our dtr is 14 & our son almost 9. I ended my 1st marriage when my 29 & 27 yr old dtrs were 2 & 4 and proceeded to work and be subsidized by welfare as a single mom. Their dad had a pretty scarey temper & I wanted better for us. Eventually I met the love of my life. He was in the army & needless to say after he returned from a tour in Kuwaitt he was messed up and I ended up ending our relationship when his drinking & anger began to escalate. I was raised in a very violent and poverty stricken alcohlic homelife with 7 siblings. I have experienced panick attacks & depression ever since I can remember. After I ended the relationship with the one I still believe is the love of my life, I recieved much counselling and support & began college for my BSW while working part-time & raising my dtrs. In my 2nd year I became pregnant with my now 14 yr old dtr. I continued to remain a single mom but once I recieved my BSW & my older dtrs felt that they didn’t need me anymore, I made the crucial decision to try & make a committment in my life & I decided to move in with my current husband. I felt guilty for the times that he was unable to participate in our dtrs life as a fulltime dad & thought that I should have another child to give him the opportunity to enjoy the whole process. We had a boy & then I really felt guilty as his own father had passed away while I was pregnant. Our relationship has never been right, it has been a place for me to hide and not seek a larger more fulfilling life. He is always focused on how much money I bring in & then when its gone, because I’ve paid bills, bought groceries, & clothes for the children, or anything else that we needed for the home, he complains & says that I overspend. He’s from New Zealand & is very cheap about anything that doesn’t involve his comfort or race car. It has taken me a lot of years to recognize passive aggressive he is & how much he constantly undermines my efforts. I have been hiding for so many years in this relationship and keeping myself so busy with sometimes up to 7 foster children in my care on top of my own 2 young children. I thought that I was fulfilling my calling as my mother always tried to help my cousins when I was little. I remember her taking different cousins in at different times to try to help out during volatile & difficult times with their own parents. One particular cousin whom I adored, Bradley was removed by social services one day to never be seen from again. I think that this is a part of the reason I strove so hard to be the home where sibling groups could be kept together. I wanted to fulfill my own mothers dream of keeping children with their families, while trying to work thru my own personal loss of my cousin Bradley, however, I finally realized that I was living my mother’s life & it was slowly killing me. I have struggled with heavy depression since 2007 when allegations were made by an angry teenage CIC & the number of children I cared for was eventually almost eliminated. Hard emotional times. I spiraled. I have always suffered from low self-esteem but I hadn’t hit these type of lows in years. I began realizing how much I had shut down of my own soul for so very long. I realized that this marriage was unhealthy for me & that I needed to end it. I needed to finally stop living in fear of the world. I know at my core that I am meant to use my own experiences & help others to recognize their own value. When my mother passed away from cancer 6 years ago on Dec. 15th, I began writing a book. I stopped for several years because it was too painful, but I have begun writing it again. It is titled Broken Courage, as I feel that all of my life, a little at a time I would feel courageous & begin to go for what I truly wanted only to get scared & question my own ability to be a success & retreat to the life I knew to be safe. When I was a child the school & doctors told my parents that they believed I was retarded, because my eyes looked a bit cross-eyed & I had difficulty in school. No kidding! Live thru some of the violent attrocities that I lived thru at night time & anyone would of had trouble concentrating in school. Anyways, in the end, I am one of the few siblings that even graduated from highschool & the only one that earned a degree. I believe at the core of my being that I am an author & a motivational speaker, helping thousands, even millions, that are where I’ve been, but I could really use some help please. As I mentioned earlier, I have recently separated with my current husband as I recognize that he has never been a support to me & our relationship just isn’t healthy for me. He is able to subtly get me to be the 24-7 caretaker of the children & everything else, while he hides at his work as a mechanic. Anyways, at the beginning of Sept. 2009. I left the marital home on the encouragment of one of my daughters & stayed with her, to begin to heal, while still being able to be in daily contact with my children. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. I cried almost everyday for the 1st month I was gone. I returned just before Christmas, as my heart was breaking. I need to be with my children, especially my almost 9 year old son as this was a very difficult time for him. When I returned to the marital home I let my soon to be ex know that I was returning for the children & to help out as much as I could while I continue to work on myself & get my life together. I am in my own bedroom, & some days it is good here, but sometimes my ex likes to lay the guilt trips & this makes it hard. I still have my own income coming in from fostering the boy we’ve had for almost 4 years, however, my ex is trying to get me to go out & get a job at the local prison or as a border crossing guard in order to bring in more money. He has me donating half of my monthly paycheque towards overdue house taxes at this point. I am just trying to still focus on what I believe I am meant to be doing, while taking care of my children. My soul does not want to be a prison guard & I want desperately to be able to take this 90 day program, hopefully without having to come up with the monies as I need to try & get a vehicle for myself. I am recieving some money this month from my mom’s will, but it isn’t a lot & I’m kind of counting on it to find a reliable vehicle as my ex is not helping me with this. He is just angry about the end of our marriage & doesn’t want to help me out with anything financially. He feels like he is the victim, yet I have returned to our home to help with the children & getting the home in order so that down the road it can be put up for sale & then whatever is leftover can hopefully be divided between us. I am not on title of this house as I have bad credit from all of my years of struggling month to month as a single mom. I will not leave this house without my children ever again, & I would so gratefully appreciate the opportunity to recieve one of the 12 scholarships being given as I know that taking this 90 day program will boost my confidence & self-esteem & assist me greatly in reaching my long held desires of becoming a full-fledged author & motivational speaker. This program will get me that much closer to my own life & out of this household. I have spoken with Angela in the past asking about making monthly payments for your July dream coaching program in San Frasisco. That in itself is my leap of faith in wanting so very badly to be able to shed this heavy cloak of self-doubt & fear & truly reach the place of beauty & wisdom & belief in my own abilities to be a successful woman, no longer fearful of failing or succeeding & everything else in between. Please find it within your heart to count me in as one of the 12 people to recieve a scholarship. I so desperately could use it to bridge me from where I am right now, to where I know I am meant to be in this life. Thankyou.

I was hit with the dream big “lightning rod” in July when Jack Canfield spoke at our National Conference. I have always been a dreamer, I guess, but I now learn that I lacked integrity. BOY! I never associated integrity with dreams/goals. “Integrity with Consistency” is our team motto. And, my children have long suffered through the “you must have integrity to ever amount to anything” speech all of their lives. But, the student in me has been awakened.
So, here it is…my list of dreams. And, believe me, I am already formulating how I will accomplish each and every one of them:
1. Attend the Breakthrough to Success Seminar in August (Jack Canfield)
2. Sing the National Anthem in Wrigley Field this summer.
3. Live a lifestyle that supports good health practices.
4. Practice the act of giving myself the time to relax, re-energize and do activities that bring me joy.

Frankly, #1 and #4 are the most challenging, but I am reaching for the sky this time and I am going to succeed!

I listened to your story just before the session on intention. As I listened to your story I was amazed at how many levels things werent right for you. I then listened to the class on intention and started the Session 1 worksheet #1. As I was answering the questions I realized that my life was “crap” on every level,also. The more I thought of it the more I realized that my first intention was to regain integrity and honesty in my life. I started with asking my “boyfriend” who does not work, help in the home or do anything to create a loving relationship to leave. For the first time in several years,I could address him with out anger or that out of control feeling..but was straight forward, matter of fact and with integrity for both of us. I already feel a huge change starting..I guess by just giving myself permission to move forward.

Congrats to all the Scholarship winners!
Marcia I desperately want to be a part of your class. Is there any way you can offer a weekly payment plan for others to participate?

Claudia

   

Many thanks for the substantive call last night. I realize this organization is deeply interested in creating a new cultural movement toward individual responsibility and abiding happiness – just what the world needs at this moment!

As for me, apparently AMEX credit cards are not accepted? That is my business card and the one I prefer to use.

I remain unsure about which program to enroll in and might call for more information..

Congratulations to everyone – not just the scholarship winners – who have stepped up to the plate for a real chance to change.

Hi Marcia,

I am hoping we can ask you questions here ~

1. How/where do I ask for help in realizing my dream?

2. I am confused about the groups – I signed up for 3-4 groups, but I think that is too many. Is this also my dream team? Or do I create that on my own separate form the groups but within the community?

3. At the moment my dreams seem too big to realize within 90 days…should I narrow them down or choose 1?

4. Were you able to ready my post yet? If so, what are your thoughts on what is keeping me stuck? Where should I look for these answers? Of course, I have already searched…that is why the question to you.

Thanks so much.
Love and Blessings,
Janaki

So, I understand that we all need write a new story… I am already doing this, yet, my old story is what gives me the compassion & empathy for those who I intend to work with since I have had the same experiences.

I am not living that story now, but I do feel that my past story is an integral, part of my future, what is moving me forward and it is what gives me the drive to help others transcend their story quicker than I was helped to. To be a catalyst for a better life for them.

So, standing in the present with my eyes looking forward, I see myself being a leader in helping others through and out of what they are & have experienced.
Am I wrong in feeling that we do not need to completely forget our story but that we need to use it to help us move forward and be instrumental in helping ourselves and others?!

Dear Marcia,
Thank you for this 90 day program, I am ready to live my purpose, I prepared to take action to my dream come true. I am so excited to learn how to do the steps to get there. That’s the part that was missing for my life to be a success, it was failing to take action on my dreams.
I am curious to find out what being happy feels like. I appreciate your support.
God Bless You,
Manon

I just listened to your webcast replay and all I can say is WOW!
It was deeply moving to me and,’boy’, do you talk fast!
Your enthusiasm, authenticity and genuine love of what you do was calling us in to your fold or circle.

I have a very sick husband who has just had 3 operations in the last 6 weeks and needs me 24/7. I have had to put off things for the moment but definitely will be following my dream. Thanks for the tips you gave. I have alot to think about now and I will be doing the internal work and looking forward to your next webcast.

Marcia, thanks for helping me reinforce the commitments I made last week at LaCosta. I have followed through on some but have several more I must do. Sue and I performed a ritual last light and I documented some things that I wanted to say and resolved to stay on track with my dream. I found such a release when I burned the letter
reinstating my Dream.

So, Gratefull,

Chuck
