Radiant You!

Connections

2010-12-13T15:57:00.001-05:00

Yesterday, I wrote about some changes I've been undergoing.I said that if you wanted to know more about these challenges to please write and ask. A few of you did and I let you know what is going on. I thank you all for your prayers and best wishes. While I don't feel ready to share exactly what has been happening here on Radiant You, I will say that through challenging times comes the reminder that even though we often feel like we have experienced it all, there is so much more to learn and that we are all connected to each other and to the Source.
Oh and the horse? A few weeks ago, I was driving down an old dirt road.. Are there new dirt roads??? Anyway, I saw several horses. Having my digital by my side, I stopped to take some photos of them grazing off in the distance. First one, then the other three saw me and ambled slowly to the barbed wire fence to check me out. I have other photos of the rest of them, but I feel that this is the best of the bunch.

I send you all love

Changes and Then Some

2010-12-12T14:48:00.000-05:00

I will cut right to the chase today. Why go through all the bush beating around when you just want the news, right? My life has changed drastically in the past week. I will not share the what's and whys. I will tell you that along with many who are having rough times, you can add me to the list. I know that it is best to stay present. Someone gave me a book about a New Earth many years back. It still sits in a box somewhere. It came at a time that was full of pain. Some day I will dig it out and read it, skipping of course, past the forward and prefaces. Who reads them after all? Oh, and after reading the main guts of it all, I will skip past the afterward, if there is one and the bibliography. I trust that the author didn't plagiarize or do anything illegal in writing the manuscript.

I know that when we are faced with adversity and uncertainty, miracles surely follow. Sometimes it takes a bit to open our eyes and allow the open windows to be clear to us. I am doing my best to do so. If you want to know what's going on... drop me a line and I will share more....

The Way to Be

2010-11-04T22:59:00.002-04:00

Yesterday, I posted a link from the Detroit Free Press regarding George Lee "Sparky" Anderson, the Hall of Fame Manager of the Cincinnati Reds and the Detroit Tigers. The announcement was made by his family that he was under hospice care because of increasing dementia. This afternoon he passed over. Usually when someone famous dies, I look at the event in a calm unattached way. With people like Sparky and Ernie Harwell though, I feel more of a connection. Maybe this is because they were part of a team that I have cheered on for as long as I can remember. I do think there is more to it than team loyalty. Sparky, like Ernie, was truly a kind man who always had time to stop and talk to anyone, young or old. Sparky loved to talk and was known for the more than occasional malapropism. Once, when discussing Oakland A's slugger Jose Canseco, he said that he was "built like a Greek goddess." Another time he said "we're the best team in baseball, but not by much."

Sparky had great passion for the game of baseball and he taught his players how to conduct themselves on the field and off. I don't recall his players ever showing up in the headlines for any negative behavior.

Outside of the game, he founded CATCH, which stands for Caring Athletes Team for Children's and Henry Ford Hospitals. The purpose of the organization is to improve the quality of life sick and dying children who are hospital bound.

I know there are many souls out there like you who truly care about the world and the people in it. Sparky wasn't the only one, but he certainly was a good example of the way we want to be.

I send you love.

Here is how you can make a donation to CATCH

I wont be saying much in this post because I can't say this any better than Mike Lopesti Gannett, a writer for the Detroit Free Press about Sparky Anderson, former manager for the Detroit Tigers and the Cincinnati Reds. Sparky has been put under Hospice Care due to "complications from dementia". I simply ask your prayers for someone who treated everyone like he would want to be treated. Sparky is truly radiant.

Much To Do About Nothing, Always Leads to Something.

2010-09-16T23:38:00.000-04:00

You know I wonder sometimes just why is it that my best thoughts for this blog come to me when I am away from my laptop. I will be out driving or taking a walk or maybe at the bank when out of seemingly nowhere these lucid, flowing thoughts come out of the top of my head and I think "that's beautiful! I must remember to do a post on that." And then, it's gone. Simply frustrating. Well here I am at 8:57 in the evening and I am actually writing. It's much to do about nothing, but I am writing. I have been getting some assistance from Julia Cameron, author of The Artist's Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity and many other books on writing from one's heart. She says that everyone is gifted artistically and you don't have to wait for your muse to show up, or worry that you aren't gifted or can't punctuate to save the world. I am most certain that any one who has a PhD in punctuation, if they have a doctorate in exclamations, commas and semi colons, can tell that I make errors all over the place, but that is what an editor is for, right? Now I wont say that I have devoured each of Julia's books, because I haven't. I will say that what I have absorbed thus far, has made me more spiritually aware of my writing talents, which I know are good.

I feel I was called to write this blog, not only to do my best to lift all of you up, but I write for myself as sort of a counseling session with me and my Spirit. Those are the times you will notice when I rehash past lifetimes in this incarnation that may seem that I am needlessly knocking myself silly over relationship lessons and classes on just plain being. The truth of the matter though, is that each time I write and it flows, like it is right at this moment, I feel that I am being cleansed. I think a better word is baptized. That all my sins are being washed away. Did you know that the word "sin" is actually from a term for archers from way back in Greek times which means to "miss the mark"? When we feel we have messed up in our search for meaning, we have simply missed the mark and when we do, it doesn't mean that we must atone for our faults or go to confession or that our lives are a big mistake. It simply means that we need to steady ourselves and get ready to pull the bowstring steadily back once again and let the arrow sail.

I wish you all love.

This Will Make You Happy!

A friend who lives in a Sebastapol CA., which is about 65 miles north of San Francisco sent me this video. It made me smile. I know it will do the same for you. :-D

About Clouds and This Wonderful State.

2010-09-09T22:35:00.000-04:00

This was taken in my front yard. Do you see the orbs?

I often find myself gazing at the clouds. Although I can't find the words to describe it, in the different states I have lived in, they all take on just a little bit different look. Maybe the color of the sky has something to do with it, I really don't know. What I have noticed about the clouds here in Colorado is that they have a frontier feel to them and they seem just a little closer to the earth;as if I could touch them. Common sense would say that since the elevation here is near 5000 feet, then, they are closer. While this may be the absolute case, I say Colorado must be much closer to heaven than any other state I have had the privilege of living in.

Whenever I travel around this state, I continue to be in awe of everything I see in nature, from the mountains with their aura's of brilliant energy around them to all the animals I have encountered. I especially find the magpies totally amazing. They exude such a knowledge of what is happening around them and a wondrous curiosity as well. While I have learned to never say never, I cannot imagine any place that I'd rather be.

I send you all love!

Getting Back to Zero

2010-08-30T18:01:00.009-04:00

One of my guilty pleasures (and I have many) is going to Barnes and Noble, finding a book that calls out my name and then, after ordering a chai latte, I settle myself into one of those big comfy chairs and read for a couple of hours, undisturbed with no worries. I did that yesterday.When I got the store, I had a strong calling to read, again, a book by Joe Vitale called The Attractor Factor. Since I wasn’t sure if it was in the self help section or another corner of the store, I took advantage of the store’s computers to search for it. I input his last name into the search line and the book did not come up as being on the shelves. What did come up was something totally unexpected but it grabbed my attention like a vice. The book is called Zero Limits: The Secret Hawaiian System for Wealth Health Peace and More. It’s about an ancient Hawaiian healing therapy called Ho’oponopono. Ho in Hawaiian, means "cause" and Oponopono means "perfection". I had heard of it before but had forgotten it for sometime. I think for a couple of reasons. One of them being that I had a hard time finding more about it on the internet or anywhere for that matter. The other reason is that anything that I did find about it, read like Mandarin Chinese to me and so I couldn’t make heads or tails of it. The other day however, my mind was open to learning more about it and so, I was called to crack the book open and start to read.

Ho’Oponopono while not developed by him has been expanded upon by Dr. Hew Len, who amazingly, healed a mental ward of criminally insane inmates none of which he ever saw. Yes, that is correct. He healed an entire ward of criminally insane mental patients and never saw even one of them. He did this not by distance healing or sending prayers for their healing but by asking himself what he had done for them to be where they were.To put it in a different way, Dr. Len took 100% responsibility for them as their problem was fully his.

I know this is hard to grasp, but the best way to explain this is whenever we have a problem, we are right there with it and it is up to us to take full responsibility for our problem(s) and even though we may not have been involved in the beginning, if a friend or a total stranger comes to us and tells us of their woes, then their challenges becomes ours.

Now, as I have just begun to read about Ho’Oponopono, (the “o”’s are long) I am by no means an expert, but I do understand that when a problem is presented to us, our task is to focus on ourselves and ask, what we have done to bring this to us. We then, say three things: I love you, I'm sorry, please forgive me and thank you. We say these words,not to the person who has the problem or who has upset us, but to ourselves and our spirit because we need to hear it. It’s something that Dr. Len calls “cleaning” We continually clean these wounds, be it from a broken relationship, an illness, financial difficulties,anything. Simply paying attention to and saying I love you, brings peace to ourselves and to the person(s) involved. Now this makes sense to me because I believe that we are all connected and what we think about we find in our reality, even if it’s something we don’t have in our immediate possession, such as our cars, home, clothing or yes, even a headache. By thinking of how terrible life can be, terrorism, foreclosures, loss of jobs, whatever, it is part of our experience and we have 100% responsibility for it all.

When we say ”I love you" to ourselves about a particular situation, we don’t have to feel the emotions of those words, just saying them brings a calmness over us. I did this the other night about a situation that has bothered me for quite some time. Before I began, I felt a deep sadness that gripped me about my heart and gut. As I connected to my Spirit, saying "I'm sorry" for my part in what had happened and extended love to myself and showed gratitude for the experience, I felt a deep peace within me and around the situation.I cleaned the experience and was able to get back to what Dr. Len calls "zero limits" or being one with the Divine.

Like I said, I am just beginning to grasp what this is all about. I do know that it isn’t easy. We must clean on whatever comes into our experience, the sick and infirm, terrorism, how our natural resources are being misused and whatever is most personal to us, when we clean and are able to forgive ourselves, we get back to zero and are open to some truly amazing things. The best thing is, we don’t even have to intend for them to happen, they just become a part of our awareness.

I send you all love!

On Being Present

2010-08-04T18:09:00.006-04:00

One of my friends commented that my last several postings have not been as up or "radiant" as the title of my blog suggests they should be. At first I was taken aback and my ego was shouting "hey wait a minute! I disagree with you. I've posted some very positive thoughts." But then I looked again, through they eyes of my spirit and I had to agree with her. They have been filled with doubt and often regret for things I have no control over. Please don't take this as an excuse, but I've noticed that this same self doubt has been smacking others around too. A friend who knows as much or more about abundance and prosperity as anyone wrote a blog about her experiences the other day. When she posted it, the formatting was way off the mark and so she had to re-send it but still there were problems. Nothing was going right. My sister has had a very trying day that I doubt she would wish on her worst enemy. So what is going on here? Does the Universe hate us that much, or is there something more meaningful? While I don't doubt that many of you can vouch for the former, I prefer to look at the latter.

By now you know that we attract into our awareness or lives, what we focus on most. If life is coming up roses, we are tuned into and attracting a positive reality our way. On the other hand, if life is full of one challenge after another, we need to look at what we've been thinking about. Our thoughts do match up with what is currently in our physical world. I know that some of you might read this and say to yourself, "I think positive, I look for all the good in my world and still, nothing seems to be going right. Why just the other day, I was thinking "I hope I get that job, please let me get that job, yet someone else was hired instead of me." There are two things going on with thoughts such as these. They aren't really positive in the first place, because they are coming from fear. Secondly maybe we need to ask if God is guiding us in a different direction but we aren't paying attention because we want to steer the ship.

I don't think I have to say much about the positive thoughts coming from fear. "I hope, I pray, oh please, I'll just die if this doesn't work out for me" are perspiring with self doubt and loathing. We can change our focus and show gratitude for what we have in our lives right now, a roof over our heads, someone to share the day with, and sustenance from the food that we prepare. By giving thanks as well as simply watching what we say or think about, our lives can change dramatically. What if, however God is guiding us in a direction that our Spirit knows that we long for, but our intellect or ego keeps getting in the way insisting that they know what is right for us, so we don't hear what our Spirit is telling us? I believe this is happening to many of us. Some are listening and following the guidance they are receiving but so many more are still listening to their ego. When we plead, beg and pray for something to come our way and we don't get it. We have to pay attention to our higher-self. Often, the longings of our heart comes through loud and clear. We are told however by our intellect that what we desire is unattainable and if that doesn't work, our well meaning friends do their best to set us straight. It is so important to tell our ego to sit still and not get in the way of our Spirit. There are so many Angels and guides who want to help us. All we have to do is ask. After we request their help, we must pay close attention because unlike the advice of our ego, the guidance we get from our Angels and Spirit Guides is extremely subtle. It's not like the movies, where lightening strikes or a chorus of Angels starts to sing. We have to pay very close attention.Recently, in my own situation, I have spent far too much time paying attention to my ego, instead of giving my Spirit the attention it deserves and trusting my Angels and Guides to show me what is really the best for my higher self. I've felt guidance to do things, but fear has held me back and in turn, that fear has lead to a feeling of not being worthy of anything good and that feeling has lead to disorganization in my life both spiritually and physically. The Angels and guides are persistent though and today I felt the message to get organized again; to get grounded and stay present with my life. Too many times when we are having problems paying attention to the loving guidance we are being given, we are living in the past, or wondering about the future. Grounding ourselves is so important because nothing else can happen that is good unless we know who we are and where we are in the present moment. Dig in your garden, take a walk in nature, make like Popeye and eat your spinach. All of these and so much more are great ways to get grounded and be present and when we are present, we are more able to pay attention to the guidance of our Angels and guides.

I send you all love.

Just Saying Hello!

2010-07-26T23:29:00.005-04:00

Hello all! I know, I know, it's been awhile since I've written anything...May to be exact. Well the snow has long gone and the temps have been in the upper 90's. I hear rumors that it may hit the century mark on Tuesday. I have lived in three states. Michigan for most of my life, ten or so years in North Carolina and two in Minnesota. I can honestly say that the most humid and muggiest state is Michigan followed by the Land of 10.000 Lakes. North Carolina really has nothing on either of them for humidity. Now Colorado is fairly dry as far as humidity goes, and that makes dealing with triple digit temps a tad easier to deal with.

OK I find that I am rambling on here, so I'll wind this up. I just wanted you to know I am thinking of you and I promise to write more in the future. I will finish by sharing an old Stephen Foster song performed by Eastmountainsouth that I heard on the radio on the way to Denver this morning. I love the vocal harmonies. Hope you will too!

I send you all love.

A Wintry May Morning Hello!

2010-05-09T18:04:00.007-04:00

Hello.It is winter in May here on the Front Range. Still getting used to Colorado weather. I think it's all great however. Other than posting a few pics that I took this morning, I don't have much to write or say now. I just want you to know that I haven't forgotten those who mean the world to me and to also share this video of George Harrison performing "Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea"

I send you love.... :-)

Happy St. Paddy's Day!

2010-03-17T09:52:00.004-04:00

Top O' the Mornin' to you all! Today we are all Irish. Today we should be proud of our heritage whatever it may be. This morning, I got a note from the Universe. I get them every day and you can too. Just google "Notes from the Universe" to find out more. Anyway this note really spoke to my heart and I hope it will speak to yours as well:

The slate's been wiped clean, the past has released its grip, and before you sparkles eternity, yearning for direction. All that lies between you and the life of your dreams is just one teeny, tiny, gentle, little rule. Only one condition, prerequisite, principle that matters.

It's not love. It's not God. It's not fate, or luck, or karma. It's not complicated or esoteric, and you needn't sacrifice, plead, or pray to invoke it. It's the only rule that's ever existed, and it's the only one that will ever exist. No reality can exist in its absence. For its mere existence, you are. With its existence, the power, the light, and the way are revealed. It's your purpose to discover it, and it's your destiny to master it. It's the beginning, the middle, and the end. The Alpha and the Omega. The be-all and end-all of every wish, desire, and dream, and you are its keeper.

This caveat of all caveats is that absolutely nothing can be anything until it is first imagined. Thoughts become things, nothing else does.It's the thoughts you choose from here on out that will become the things and events of your life, forevermore. It is written in stone. There's no other way. It's your ticket to anywhere you can dream of. Your passport to abundance, health, and friendships. The key to the palace of your wildest dreams.

Your thoughts, and your thoughts alone, will set you in motion. Your thoughts will yield the inspiration, creativity, and determination you need. Your thoughts will orchestrate the magic and inspire the Universe. Your thoughts will carry you to the finish line if you just keep thinking them. Never give up. Never waiver, doubt, or ask.

Aim high.

That you've even received this Note, that you're able to read it through, means you are so close. So extraordinarily close. The hardest work has been done. The wars have already been waged. The lessons have already been learned. The journey, now, is for home.

Ain't no Blarney,
The Universe

Moving and Lessons Learned

2010-03-07T19:29:00.005-05:00

It certainly has been a long while since I posted something new to "Radiant You!" I would have to look back, but the last time I put two words or more together for this blog was back in August. Since then, a lot has happened. Most significantly, I have moved from Minnesota to Colorado. I packed my 2000 Taurus and drove the 12 plus hours the first Friday of October. I would have made it all the way if a blizzard hadn't decided to shut down the freeways in Wyoming. I made it to Cheyenne, which is about 40 miles north of Fort Collins, which was my destination and now my home. Thank goodness for the Motel 6. A very economical rate, which gave me a warm place to rest my body for the night. The next day, I made it the rest of the way to Fort Collins. This is where I am now and I really do love it here. I have thought about other places I would like to be but with a few exceptions of Italy or Oregon or Washington State, I can't imagine a more heavenly place.

The other day I was remarking to a friend that whenever I put my focus on a particular place, I somehow end up there. It has happened all through my life, but the first time I really understood this was when I moved from North Carolina to Minnesota. Within two weeks time, I had sold all my big items and had tightly packed my reliable Taurus and was headed north.

Minnesota was wonderful for two years. I made some friends, loved someone very deeply, and I learned a lot about myself through the painful break-up of that relationship. The biggest lesson I learned is that I have to bring love of myself into a relationship of any kind for it to expand to others. It has been nearly two years since that time and I am so much better for experiencing all of it. So I thank her for what I learned and my hope is that she is happy with who she is as well.

People often ask me why Colorado and how did I get here? My smart-aleck remark to the latter question is "by car". After the rolling of eyes, I tell them that almost 30 years ago, I visited a friend in a small town a little south-east of here. Being that we were much younger, we spent a good portion of our time going from one party to the next. One day toward the end of my visit, we decided to go to Denver to party some more. On our way to the Mile High City, we made several stops along the way. One of the stops was to see Horsetooth Reservoir which is in Fort Collins. As we drove through the town, I thought to myself that it looked like a nice place to live and I would like to do that one day. Well it took almost 30 years but here I am. So, like I said earlier, where or what I put my focus on is where I end up. Be it a destination or a much needed lesson on self love, there I am.

So like so many of my posts, remember to focus on the good you have in your life but don't beat yourself up when things don't always go the way you want them to. Because it is a good bet that you are exactly where you need to be.

I send you all love!

Up On the Roof

2009-09-26T09:44:00.004-04:00

More than a few months ago, I posted an entry called A Simple Prayer. To me, the word "help" is the shortest prayer around. It's the only word that needs to be said when you are discouraged, fearful or uncertain about what is happening in your life. I have been praying "help" for the past several weeks now. I know my plea has been answered. However, there are times when I have a hard time latching onto this knowing. This is when I know, that I need to find some alone time. Lately it has been hard to find a place just to sit and let my cares float away. When I absolutely can't find a place of my own to be alone for even twenty minutes, I find a place in my heart and mind that only I know of. The song, "Up On the Roof" by Gerry Goffin and Carole King is a catalyst that moves me to my secret place and find some peace and knowing that everything is indeed ok.

UP ON THE ROOF
by Gerry Goffin & Carole King

When this old world starts getting me down
And people are just too much for me to face
I climb way up to the top of the stairs
And all my cares just drift right in to space

On the roof it's peaceful as can be
And there the world below can't bother me

Let me tell you now
When I come home feelin' tired and beat
I go up where the air is fresh and sweet
I get away from the hustling crowds
And all that rat race noise down in the street

On the roof's the only place I know
Where you just have to wish to make it so
Oh, let's go
up on the roof

At night the stars put on a show for free
And darling, you can share it all with me

I keep a-telling you
Right smack dad in the middle of town
I found a paradise that's trouble proof
So if this world starts getting you down
there's room enough for two up on the roof

Up on the roof
Everyhting's all right
Up on the roof
Oh, come on baby
Up on the roof
Up on the roof

It seems lately that many of us are going through difficult times, stemming from our fears about finances and it seems our fears about how we are going to make it to the next week ties into our relationships with the people we care about. I could tell you to let it all go, it will all be ok.I wont, because I know that many of you can't see and end to what has been a part of your life the past several years. I will tell you to find a roof top to go to sit and just be.

You know I consider each one of you a friend. It doesn't matter to me if I see you daily or if it has been a very long time since we last connected. You are all very important to me and I send all of you, love. :-)

Getting Through Challenging Times

2009-09-21T11:37:00.003-04:00

Life certainly does suck. Sometimes to the point where you can't see a light at the end of the tunnel. If you do see one, you begin to wonder if it's actually a train bearing down on you full steam ahead. I can honestly say that the past couple of weeks have not been what I had been hoping for. While they certainly have been challenging, I have been reminded, while moving through the fog, to look within. This has been something I have had to do over and over again with what has been minimal success. So I look within some more and what answer comes to me? In times like these, take your successes in small chunks. Don't wait for the big pay off, because when it doesn't happen right away, it only leaves you with more frustration.

So allow happiness to come to you in the little things. Something as simple as a great home cooked meal, or sitting with a good friend in a coffee shop, just talking about nothing. It may be a good book, or taking the steps to change your eating habits like going vegetarian. Small chunks of success. As the song goes. "Ive got to admit it's getting better. A little better all the time."

I send you all love....

And when people lash out at you in passive aggressive ways because of their failure to look within.... do your best to bless them and let them work things out for themselves.

A New Adventure

2009-09-04T12:50:00.002-04:00

Yesterday, the news came out that legendary Detroit Tigers broadcaster, Ernie Harwell has inoperable cancer. I remember sitting on the front steps during summer nights with my dad, listening to Ernie as he would paint a picture of the evenings game. Mr. Harwell knew well the adage,"less is more". He understood that silence is a broadcaster's tool that allows the listener to see the landscape of the game in their mind's eye. Baseball was and is my first love in sports. Ernie helped to make it an adventure and now in his words, he's "ready for a new adventure."

Harwell has been an inspiration to many,simply because he is a very nice man. His positive spirit has allowed him to look at each aspect of his life as a journey. Life is something we should marvel over and be grateful for; even when the skies look dark and foreboding. We are painting a beautiful picture of our lives just by seeing them as an adventure and not as a struggle. Those words, "adventure" and "struggle" conjure up different feelings when read, thought or uttered. When you say "adventure" how does it make you feel? Do you feel excitement in your heart center? Is there a sense that although what you may be undertaking may have times of feeling like you're in an "Indiana Jones" movie, crossing frayed rope bridges, running from bounding boulders or hanging on to a cliff with your fingers that you know without any doubt that you will emerge loving your life? Now say the word "struggle" How does it make you feel? If you are like most people, your solar plexus probably feels like climbing into itself, retreating from the world and the people that would be your friends and teachers along the way? See your life a quest to know in an intuitive way your true essence and appreciate that what you say and do will have an affect on everyone around you and even those far away.

It's been a long while since I posted anything to "Radiant You". I had moments of doubt and wondered where I was headed on my trek through life. I knew intuitively that I had to trust that all would be well and to follow the nudging of my heart. Huge changes are underway for myself and while the trail may be full of twists and turns, valleys and hills. I know that life is an amazing journey that I am grateful for.

I thank Ernie for showing me that having a positive outlook about life serves to bring contentment and joy to myself and anyone who chooses to show only love to those we come in contact with. I also am grateful to friends who have moved on to new adventures in their lives. Without them, I wouldn't be where I am now. Finally, I am appreciative of those who are currently in my life. You bring a smile to my face and warmth to my heart.

I send all of you love.

A Simple Prayer

2008-08-22T18:51:00.007-04:00

This morning I was taking my morning walk, my iPod set to random. I'm walking along, not thinking about much of anything, just paying attention to the grass and the trees when Help! by the Beatles started to play. This song has always had a strong hold on my psyche. When ever I am sad or confused I sing in my head:

Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being 'round.
Help me get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me?

Well I guess I needed to hear this song because it hit me that just one word, "help", is a very simple powerful prayer. And the song fills in the spaces on just why guidance is needed.

"And now my life has changed in oh so many ways,
My independence seems to vanish in the haze.
But every now and then I feel so insecure,
I know that I just need you like, I've never done before."

When John Lennon wrote this song, he wrote it because the Beatles needed a song called for their movie, Help! that was due to be released. He was focused on doing just that and it wasn't until years later that he realized that he was crying out for help. All the fame and fortune that came his way and he didn't know which way to turn. I don't know if he would have called his composistion a prayer but in simple reality that is exactly what it is. I know that I have been confused with what my higher self is whispering to me on a daily basis and I don't know which way to turn and there are times I get on my knees and just say "Help! I don't know why these things are happening. I've tried to control it but I'm not doing a very good job at it. Please take over and I'll trust my hopes and dreams will become manifest"

There are so many ways to pray, formal prayers, chanting, singing a hymn and just sitting down and having a conversation ( my favorite way) with the Divine. The majority of prayer is asking for assistance. The secret to knowing that our prayers are heard is to get quiet and listen to the answers we are getting from Source. Meditate. Sit still and listen. The answers aren't shouted at us by an angel holding a megaphone, although anything is possible. Guidance comes in feelings we get in our solar plexus or third chakra. "The path I'm on doesn't feel right to me." I think I need to send an email to this person and see if there's a way I can start going to school soon." "You know I'm really sorry for the way I acted am I'm afraid she will tell me off, but this prodding in my gut says that I need to make amends. I'm going to give her a call."

The Universe is willing to help us whenever we ask. We have to ask though and remember to sit still and listen to the guidance we receive.

I send you all love.

PS. Remember please, those souls who are important to you. Tell them you love them and if for some reason you can't, send them your love, they will somehow know. I send love to those I care about every day.

Help! by Lennon and McCartney and performed by the Beatles

Stillness

2008-07-16T19:32:00.003-04:00

Blessings to you all. Ever have one of those days where nothing seems to be going right? You cant find your lucky pair of socks, your purse or billfold isn't where you left it and you are going to be late for work. Yikes! I think we all have had days like these. I had one the other day. I couldn't find my wallet and was ready to give in when I said a prayer to St. Anthony and there it was in the same place I had looked ten minutes earlier. Days like these are bad enough but they can feel like they are magnified 1000 times when you're feeling blue. At first your friends and family are there for you to help with your issues. They sit with you and listen as you tell them about your fears about losing your job or looking for work. They help you network to find a job and give suggestions, but when things fail to materialize, because they aren't able to feel what you are feeling, they become frustrated and begin to back away. I don't know, maybe they are afraid they will catch your no-jobitis or whatever else is causing your melancholy. The truth of the matter is that even though they don't know it, they are getting out of the way to give Spirit room to sit with you and guide you through.

When we are able to be quiet, and really listen to what our hearts are telling us is when we get the real juicy spiritual answers about where we are, where we need to be and the steps needed to get there. We all get guidance in different ways. I get mine in my solar plexus or simply a gut feeling. Others might hear a whispering in their ears. And then there are those who are clairvoyant. They see things with their mind or third eye. There are other ways of getting messages from the Universe, aroma being one of them. I have had experiences with smelling things that aren't there. Another way we can allow Spirit to enter our hearts is prayer.

I'm not talking about saying something like "Oh Lord I am not worthy......" as the cartoon God said in "Monty Python and the Holy Grail"... "too depressing"; but simply having a conversation with Spirit, remembering to say thanks for everything in your life including the stuff that doesn't seem to be the best at this moment. Difficult times often come because we need to remove the things that don't serve us anymore. We need to be cleansed so we can start fresh. When we meditate on Spirit and know the Love that Spirit is. we understand that there is NOTHING we can't do, be or have. We ponder our lives in small terms. Spirit wants us to think big!

Try this: get up 20 minutes earlier than you normally do and just sit quietly with eyes closed and meditate on the unconditional Love that is Goddess and God. See the white light flow into your body and feel it seep into your every cell. Be grateful for everything. Even the stuff that seems to be the hardest to be grateful for. When you are grateful, blessings will flow to you.

Finally, know that even though you might feel that people have not been there for you, they are thinking of you and sending love. When we can sit still and just soak in the guidance that Spirit sends to us, we can get to where we are going and, on to the next place.

With that.... I send you all love!

Remember, send blessings,love and gratitude to the bees around you. They are much more important than you realize and they need our prayers. I send many to mine.

Helping Others to See Their Light

2008-07-16T19:28:00.002-04:00

Yes, it's been a while since I last posted here. I've been spending time in meditation working on me. A lot of times I can get so involved in helping others feel good about themselves,I let myself slide. So I've been taking walks and I guess they are helping my health, because I no longer need a defibrillator as I near the one mile mark. I've been attempting to eat better too and I hope it's starting to show. Anyway enough of me. What I want to talk about today is seeing the light in others.

I was talking with a good friend yesterday about everything that has been going on in my world. My friend is my friend because she doesn't judge me and I appreciate that. Anyhow our conversation split off to world leaders, celebs and other people in the news. I told her that we often get an opinion about someone strictly from what we see or hear on the entertainment shows and I include the news we watch when I say "entertainment". Because of what someone says about a leaders of a countries thousands of miles away, we think we know who they are. But do we?If we were able to sit down and break bread with them and really get to know them I believe that we would see a light that shines like a lighthouse beacon.

The same goes for celebrities in the news. I speak of the ones who are hounded by the photographers at every hour of the day.The ones who are still trying to figure out who they are and what they are supposed to be doing in this life. They make choices that a person who is at ease with themselves and comfortable in their world would not. We spend too much time judging instead of helping them see their radiance.

I know that most of us cannot go and have dinner with a leader in a far away country or sit with a movie star and buy them a cappuccino and help them become aware of the light they are hiding within themselves, we can however help them discover the light within.

We can send prayers that they realize their goodness. We can also meditate, picturing white light being beamed from the love of the Universe into their souls and in turn being beamed right back to the Universe. Our radiance is never ending. It always renews and comes back to us.

Let's do our best to see the whole picture of the world around us. By helping others to see their light we can know that our own light shines brightly.

I send you all love.

Oh, please remember while enjoying your strawberries this summer, to send thanks and much love to your bees. I certainly send love and light to mine.

The Virtues of Letting Go, Changes and Honey Bees!

2008-07-16T18:34:00.005-04:00

Greetings "Radiant You" peeps!I am here to sound like a broken record and talk once again about the beauty of letting go the oars to allow the current to carry you downstream. It bears repeating not only for you but for me as well. I think in this case especially for me. Too often I have found myself wondering how in the world I am going to create my dreams for my life including my finances, living conditions and my relationships. I hear my ego screaming "You cant do that!" or "That will never work. You have to work harder and get a second job!" Fortunately I don't listen to that voice too much. But then I hear my inner wisdom whispering to me in a gentle voice, "Slow down my friend. Relax. Go with the flow. Everything you have asked for is coming to you and will come to you." When I think good thoughts and smile, I feel the electricity of my imagination tingle in every cell of my body and then when I release
it with hardly knowing that I have, my desires come to me much quicker than when I prod and poke and plead and beg. So many wonderful things have happened lately. Some on the surface would appear to be nothing at all. It might be a book I bought or a program I downloaded or something a friend told me. These seemingly trivial happenings are creating critical mass and building up energy ready to start boiling at any moment and creating something new and fantastic.

Take time each day to sit in solitude for 15 minutes. Ask your Angels, the Universe, your Higher Self or God (it doesn't matter what you call it) to guide you to your dreams and desires. Just get comfortable. You don't need to assume the lotus position or burn incense. I often recline back in my Lazy-Boy, closing my eyes and breathe slowly counting to five with each breath and starting over again. Set the intention that you will be receive messages that will serve to guide you toward your dreams. These messages may come as feelings in your solar plexus or sudden Ah-ha moments or maybe they will come as something more auditory. It doesn't matter. Just remember these feelings, epiphanies or voices will be gentle and encouraging. When the thought comes to you take action. Yes, we do create with our thoughts but I have yet to meet anyone who only had to think and have money, love or a home fall into their lap without taking any action at all.

With all of this I will be making changes to Radiant You in the coming weeks and months. I may change the website address as well as the format. I plan to bring to you more ways to increase your Radiance, guest bloggers as well as products and services designed to help you to realize the wonderful person you are.

I send all of you love......
PS.. remember to appreciate the Honey Bees in your life... I know I am thankful for mine!

Be Thankful

2008-07-16T18:24:00.003-04:00

Two posts ago was my shortest post ever on Radiant You. This one just might be even shorter. I just want to say that there is a reason why things happen in your life. The good things are of course easy to be grateful for. It's when life gives us lumps that it's hard to show appreciation. But when we are able to be thankful for the things that happen and most importantly for the people that are near and dear to us, even though they may seem far away. Good things happen.

I send you all love!

And yes, I am still thankful for my honeybee!

Your Radiant Pets and One Sweet Deal!

2008-03-05T10:25:00.017-05:00

I have been focused on showing the radiance that we all have for almost a year now, but until today I have said nothing about our pets. I haven't deliberately omitted them. They certainly are creatures who know how to give unconditionally. Maybe that's why I haven't written about them.They already know they are beautiful and they see beyond our egos and into our hearts. Our four legged friends are the Universe's reminder of unconditional love. They don't care how much money we have in our accounts or what physical shape we may be in. Our pets are our constant reminders that we are made in the image of God.

My sister Monica has many pets. Two horses, a chicken, some song birds and three dogs. One, "Nitro" is an Australian Shepherd or "Aussie" and they along with The Paws Box, The Australian Shepherd Rescue in Michigan or ARIM and a sweet deal is what I want to focus on today.

Monica and her friend Lynn, recently opened their online store called The Paws Box on which they sell agility, chew and tug toys and very snazzy bandannas they created. Monica and Lynn believe in the outstanding quality of their products and want to share them with you and especially your pets. They are also much involved in ARIM. Lynn says her dog Cali "was given up from a family who couldn’t keep her because the little girl’s father was deployed to Iraq. We adopted her from ARIM. Cali is a very special dog. She’s so smart. Aussies typically are know as Velcro dogs. They stick right by you. Cali follows me around the house and loves to be with us as often as possible! She stays with us on trail rides and instinctively knows to move out of the horses way when we tell her to “look out” she moves to the back of the line. She loves to catch her favorite Frisbee and does flips in the air and ground to get it. She has recently learned to walk like a bear on her hind legs. As long as she gets enough exercise, she lays calmly by your side at the end of the day." Lynn adds that Cali "enjoys 4-H agility, trail riding, camping, boating as well as many other things. I am really impressed with ARIM’s ability to carefully match the dog to the appropriate family. There are many more wonderful dogs like Cali that for whatever reason, need a loving home that has the knowledge to appreciate and use the dog for what they were originally bred for. Monica says that often people decide they want an Aussie for their unique eye color. Often one eye is different from the other or in some cases they may have bi-colored or "split" eyes meaning that an eye might be colored brown and blue. Because of this unique trait and their intelligence, some otherwise well meaning souls think that they will fit well into any living condition presented to them. Aussies are not meant for small homes with cramped or no yard space to run nor are they meant to lie around all day. Their responsible human companions make certain to take them for walks and have large spaces for them to run in. Lynn says that "people get them because they think they're cool dogs but don't do their research. They need an active family and need to have a job to do. Not good for apartment life or couch potatoes." Monica says Nitro is always looking for his next activity. He loves to run in their wooded acreage and often taunts her two corgis with his chew toys to entice them to play keep away. Nitro can speak on a signal, loves to jump through hoops, shakes hands and will even slap five. I inquired if he misbehaves. Monica offered that he did chew up his bed four years ago but rarely misbehaves now and on the rare occasion that he feels that he isn't good as gold, he will "crate" himself. A very amazing creature!

Now, about that sweet deal. Because Monica and Lynn love their Aussies and all dogs. And because they want them to stay active they are making this offer to you. Mention "Radiant You" when purchasing an adjustable "Vertical Jump" made of quality ¾" PVC from The Paws Box and they will send to you along with your pet's agility equipment a coupon worth 20% off anything you purchase from the Paws Box. And for every purchase made on any of the fine quality products Monica and Lynn will donate 10% of the purchase price to ARIM. Remember though that the 20% coupon offer is only for the Vertical Jump and you must mention "Radiant You "when ordering.

And with that, I send you and your pets much love!

An "Extraordinary" Happy New Year!

2007-12-31T12:22:00.003-05:00

Hello and a very Happy New Year to you! I am sitting comfortably in Dunn Brothers in Apple Valley. A place that is fast becoming a favorite place to steal away for some time and a hot mug of coffee as well as a good place to create another edition of Radiant You. You may recall from reading my post about "Service" that I had felt a strong urge to tell the people of the Unitarian Church I attend that we are all radiant beings of light and that we need to be more aware of this instead of hiding our lights under a bushel. I felt the push to speak but I didn't. I made a promise in that blog to you but more importantly to me, that the next time I would get up and light a candle for everyone there. I am proud to say that I kept that promise. I stepped out of my comfort zone (oh yeah, it can be hard for me to do things like that). I spoke from
my heart to everyone. I didn't speak very long. If I said I spoke for two minutes, I would be exaggerating. But if it was one minute or ten, I spoke from my heart and said that we need to be proud of ourselves and to never for a moment think that our lives are what they are because of the road we travelled to get to where we are at this moment. The road ahead of us is still being paved and we can choose where we want to go in our lives. Afterward, many in the congregation came up and thanked me for talking to them. I feel that that was an unofficial ground breaking for "Radiant University". That was two Sundays ago. Yesterday at service we did an exercise on our experiences of the 2007. What we felt about our personal journeys and where we see ourselves in the next year.

As I was busy scrawling away with pen and hand, my initial reaction was one of disappointment that I hadn't achieved much. But as I contemplated about everything I had done, taking a big step out of my comfort zone and moving like I had and fulfilling my intention of meeting like minded spiritual people. As I told everyone there yesterday; "I came to the conclusion that my life doesn't suck as bad as I thought it did." Sure I am going through some challenges in my life that I want to change and I will, but my life now is pretty darned good. I am an amazing being of energy and light. Which brings me to Liz Phair.

Liz who? Phair. Who broke into the "Indy" music scene with her much acclaimed "Exile in Guyville". Phair's lyrics have often been described as erotic. She has toned much of that down in the ten years she has recorded but her lyrics still pack a punch. The song that has caught my attention in the past few days is "Extraordinary". It's about her challenge to herself to make the man in her life notice her that she is not average and boring. As the song begins, she is talking to herself more than him, something we all do while washing the dishes or in the produce section picking out fresh spinach:

You think that I go home at night

Take off my clothes, turn out the lights

But I burn letters that I write

To you, to make you love me

Yeah, I drive naked through the park

And run the stop sign in the dark

Stand in the street, yell out my heart

To make, to make you love me

Phair then tries to convince herself more than the object of her romantic intentions that she is someone that is exciting and vibrant.

I am extraordinary, if you'd ever get to know me

I am extraordinary, I am just your ordinary

Average every day sane psycho

Super-goddess

Average every day sane psycho

Liz soon becomes bolder as she confronts her boyfriend who thinks she is normal and thus, boring:

You may not believe in me

But I believe in you

So I still take the trash out

Does that make me too normal for you?

So dig a little deeper, cause

You still don't get it yet

See me lickin' my lips, need a primitive fix

And I'll make,

I'll make you love me

Now our heroine really starts to feel good about herself she belts out the chorus and adds even more emphasis on the words highlighted in red:

I am extraordinary, if you'd ever get to know me

I am extraordinary,

I am just your ordinary

Average every day sane psycho

Super-goddess

Average every day sane psycho

Super-goddess

Phair really understands her radiance now. She is done trying to impress someone else and knows she doesn't need to impress herself:

See me jump through hoops for you

You stand there watching me performing

What exactly do you do?

Have you ever thought it's you that's boring?

Who the hell are you?

I am extraordinary, if you'd ever get to know me

I am extraordinary,

I am just your ordinary

Average every day sane psycho

Super goddess

Average every day sane psycho.

I love this song because it's the way we should all feel about ourselves, that even as we go through the mundane of taking the trash out. We are all extraordinary super goddess' and super gods.

My intention for this new year is to continue to build on "Radiant You" and"Radiant University" as places to come to to help you and everyone to know that we are amazing spiritual beings created from Love and that being an "Average everyday sane psycho" is a good thing especially when we truly understand how truly vibrant and extraordinary we are.

I send you all love.

Service!

2007-12-10T21:07:00.004-05:00

A very Radiant hello to all of you on this fine and rather chilly evening here in Minnesota. Wherever you are, in warm climes or cold. I hope you are enjoying your abundant life.
This evening I feel inspired to write to you about Service. Yesterday I was attending the Unitarian Church that I have recently joined. There is a part of the service that members can come up and share their "Joys and Concerns" Anyone can come up, light a candle and share a success or a concern. As people were coming up and sharing news about new jobs, better places to live or asking for prayers for something they desired for themselves or a loved one, I felt a strong pull in my gut to stand front and center and say to everyone,
"You know many of us get up each day and go about our lives and we think to ourselves 'This is it. This is all I have for my life and all I ever will have. I wish I had done things differently. If I had my life to live all over again, I certainly would have a different life than I do now.' Well I want to say to you this very moment to make the choice to stop. Stop blaming yourself or others. Stop with the woulda, coulda, shoulda. Stop being a martyr. Instead begin to start. Start getting up in the morning and being thankful for all the wonderful things that are happening to you each and every day. Start being. Start doing. Start having everything you thought was too far out there and was too impossible or so you thought, to have. You are Amazing. You are so very Radiant. You deserve the very best and don't let anyone tell you that this life is for suffering. It's not. It's for living a rich full life. Love yourself, Love your neighbor. Shout Hallelujah. I am a Radiant Being of Light!"
I didn't though, I ignored that urge to go up and inspire these wonderful souls that are fast becoming very dear to me.

Tonight I came home and checked my email. There, from my good friend Karen Curry was an email announcing a replay of her interview with Dr. John Demartini from "The Secret" I had received notice about the live call to him in the week past but was unable to join in because of work. I listened to the replay and what I heard was nothing short of the peel of church bells. What Dr. Demartini spoke of was our hierarchy of values. Whatever we value the most in our lives is what will become manifest in our lives. Likewise, whatever is on the low end of our value system we "tend to disown and we have chaos there" If we value good health, we will do things that will bring health and vitality to our lives. If we want the best for our children we will attract those people and things that will help our children grow and thrive. If we value wealth, we will notice all of the ways to make money and build wealth. Dr. Demartini went on to say that in order to attract wealth and abundance in our life we have to be in touch with our spiritual calling .We have to provide service. When we provide service to others prosperity will naturally follow. Spirituality and wealth walk hand in hand. There is no separating the two. The lessons that we were taught when we were children about how we are supposed to suffer on earth and get our reward when we get to heaven is nothing but a crock. If we look for ways to spiritually serve our fellow souls in this wonderful Universe prosperity will certainly come to us at great speed. As soon as I heard Dr. Demartini's words, I knew without a doubt that next week I need to get up and start providing my service of Radiant University to the people of my church and I need to start thinking now of ways to expand my vision beyond them and out to other parts of the surrounding cities and state and out to the rest of the country and the world.

You know we all have doubts about ourselves. We think that no one is going to take notice of us. or that we will be laughed at. Dr. Demartini said stop being narcissistic and start caring about all the people we connect with every day. When we start to focus on service, the fear that we will be laughed or that we will stumble over our words will vanish. I do know that next week when the opportunity comes up for Joys and Concerns, I will stand up in front of those 40 wonderful souls and Radiant University will become a reality not only in my mind but for everyone who hears my words.

I want to send my thanks to Karen Curry and to Dr. John Demartini for ringing those bells for me. I also hope I did Dr. Demartini's inspiring words justice. It has been my intention to do nothing less.

I send all of you love!

Switching Things Up!

2007-12-03T12:19:00.002-05:00

Hello! I hope this finds you feeling good and refreshed from a nice weekend. It snowed here in Minnesota and I've enjoyed
watching the snow blow and swirl around as it descended from the sky like millions of tiny downy white feathers. Just beautiful! Wherever you reside, I hope you took the time to stop and listen to the energy of nature as it is quite beautiful.

Today, I am sitting in a coffee shop enjoying my cup of caffeine and absorbing the energy here. I almost always do my best writing in a coffee shop. I wonder why that is? I am taking what my dad once called a "Polish 4th of July" He would declare it a "Polish 4th" whenever he just wanted a day off from his demanding job. Today I wanted a day off so I have done just that. I am doing for a couple of reasons, first of all, I just wanted a longer weekend. But more importantly, I needed to switch things up. I have been in a funk and had become rather depressed that I hadn't been manifesting things as quickly as I would expect. I know what I am desiring, it's just that recently I haven't believed that I can have it. So I decided I needed to take some action. I needed to change my routine. So today I take a "Polish 4th". I am smiling right now as I write this to you. Already I have had one call about a better paying position and several emails from companies who have viewed my resume on line. I am thankful for all of this and I know that my dream of Radiant University is coming to me at the speed of a comet.

All of us has those times where we have to get out of our routines and do something different. It maybe a day off or maybe it's simply getting out our journal and writing ourselves a love letter. I think we need to tell ourselves each and everyday how important and loved we are not only to the friends, family and lovers in our life but just as importantly to ourselves. So pamper yourself. Enjoy that "Polish 4th" or British, Irish, German, African, Chinese, or whoever you are. You are truly Radiant Beings of Light.

I send you all much love,

Frank

A Time for New Beginnings

2007-11-22T00:52:00.001-05:00

Hello and welcome back to Radiant You! It seems like I've been gone forever and maybe I have. I know I've learned a lot about me in the weeks that have passed since we last connected. I will talk about that some time in the near future. What I want to chat with you about right now though has to do with Thanksgiving. There are a lot of things we have to be grateful for. Just look around you and you will notice things we take for granted. For example right now I am stroking the keys of my lap top. Oooooh! Stroking. Sounds so sexy! LOL Seriously I am thankful
for my laptop. Without it I couldn't connect with you. I am also sitting on my bed with it's warm blankets and a quilt that my mother made years ago. I am grateful for the warmth and for my mom. Such a wonderful lady who's certainly taught me a lot about caring about others. I could go on about the electricity I have to run my laptop and the gas to warm the house and I guess I have. Look around you. There are many things to be grateful for. A lot of them we overlook. When we are grateful for what we have and say thank you not just on Thanksgiving but everyday. We attract more to be thankful for. So be grateful for your abundance. When you are, more prosperity will come your way.

Thanksgiving is not only about being thankful for what we have. It's about our gratitude for new beginnings of what is yet to come. I was writing to a dear friend about missing my dad on this holiday. I told her how we would sit and watch the Detroit Lions play their annual turkey day game and how I missed those times. I told her how I wished I could go back into time and somehow bottle them to keep with me forever. Well as I was writing to her I realized two things. One is I always have those good times with my dad within me. I'm hearing the noise of the game right now and smelling the turkey as my mom is removing it from the oven. The other is that we are always going through change and although I miss the old times, creating new ones are very good. This holiday is as much about new beginnings as it is about the memories that we hold in our hearts. Be thankful yes, for your friends past and present. Be grateful for the good things in your life. Thank Spirit for the lessons you learn, even the ones that have caused you sleepless nights. Those are the best lessons of all, believe me. But remember to be thankful for those new beginnings where you see the road stretched out before you but you can see only to the first curve and after that it's any-one's guess where it will lead to next. Be thankful and that next turn will reward you with another and yet another. We don't ever want our journeys to end. The pot of gold at the end of the rainbow is wonderful for sure but the journey is so much more rewarding.

I wish you love and a very Happy Thanksgiving!

Put Down Your Score Card!

2007-08-10T12:22:00.001-04:00

I'm a big baseball nut. I am always checking scores and stats. I want to know how my Tigers are doing. What players are leading the leagues in hitting and pitching and what the magic number is. I have been checking scores and stats many seasons, and in the off season, there is the "Hot Stove League" where I track trades and signings and everything else related to the "National Pastime" Finding out if my Tigers (and yes ,they are "my Tigers") are winning or not is something I like to do. It allows me to play manager and general manager. In short, it's fun. I find however, that I also keep score when I set an intention for my desires and when I check my progress in my manifesting, I radically slow the vibrational energy to almost a halt and thus, what I want to create happens at a snail's pace.

When we intend for something to happen in our lives; be it a job, a romance, more money, a trip to Europe or anything you want to manifest, the key is to send your intention to Source, imagine it manifesting
in wondrous ways and let it happen. Put down the score card. Stop tuning into the Manifestation Network in your mind to see where your dreams are headed. They are going in the right direction even if you thinking they are headed away from where you think they should be going.

I know that not keeping score is hard to do. I find myself checking my progress all the time. I am living in beautiful Minnesota. I am amongst my people and I am loving it! I have been looking for work. I know I will find something wonderful and I shouldn't worry, yet I do. I am building new neuro pathways and so as I encounter new challenges and I send "Rockets of Desire" for blessings to come my way, I am getting spending less time checking my manifesting score book out and just enjoying the game.

I send you all love!

It's Easy!

2007-07-24T22:05:00.000-04:00

Greetings from my home state of Michigan. Yes, it's true. I am back in Michigan although only for a week and a half, then it's on to Minnesota. Who would've thunk it? Certainly not me. It is very true that if you are in vibrational harmony for what you want, then you will get what you think about. I have many favorite Beatles songs and one of my most favorite is "All You Need Is Love". The last verse has so much meaning to me. The lines are:

Nothing you can know that isn't known.

Nothing you can see that isn't shown.

Nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be.

It's easy.

Let's take a close look at these lines. What a poet Lennon was and a deep thinker too.

"Nothing you can know that isn't known." There really isn't anything new to the Universe. Every bit of knowledge has always been and has always been known. I bet they Universe often says in it's own way "Been there. Done that." That's a good thing because we can rest assured that what we are dreaming of will come to fruition.
"Nothing you can see that isn't shown." I can hear a lot of you now. "Duh! It has to be shown to be seen Frank." True, but are we including what we know to be true in our mind's eye? There are things that we see in our heads all the time. For me, it's "Radiant University" for my friend in Florida, it's her dream that she knows will help millions and she knows and sees that she will be part of it. So when we see our dream visions, they are shown to all of us and as a result, they are very real. Let me say that once more to let it sink in: when we see our dream visions, they are shown to all of us and as a result, they are very real.
"Nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be." Now I can't ask John Lennon what he meant exactly when he wrote this line, but to me it means much more than a physical space. I think he meant where our thoughts are just as much as where we are geographically. If I am very happy and thinking about my happy life and those who love me and hold me close to their hearts. Then this is where I am meant to be. I can change that around and say that if I am feeling blue and overwhelmed with the burdens of life (and we've all been there) then that too is where I am meant to be. Having these feelings of prosperity and joy, will move us to our desired place of happiness and abundance and then we can sing:
"It's easy." As I said at the beginning of this post. It is very easy to manifest what you think about quickly and easily. You think about what you want and really feel it and it zooms to you quickly and easily and it doesn't even break a sweat!

Until next time, I send you all much love!

The Friends We See Everyday!

2007-07-14T12:29:00.000-04:00

When we are among friends whom we care about and we know they care about us just as much, we go about our daily lives sharing jokes, cajoling each other, even at times not even speaking. We grow so comfortable with our relationships that we often seem to forget that we do think the world of each other. It's always there though sometimes barely peeking through that veil of everyday life. I witnessed this reminder just yesterday at my last day at work. The very first email I opened was from a very dear friend in another office, even though we have never met, we have spoke of our hopes and dreams and leaned on each other through the rough times and danced happily through the good ones. This is part of what she sent to me:

You have been a great friend, and I couldn't imagine myself getting through some really tough times that I have, if I didn't have you to talk to and to help me keep my faith.

If the world could be more like you, it'd be a better place...

I wish you the best of luck in all that you do. And even though this is your last day, and your job ends today, your new life is just beginning.

I know that we will keep in touch, but it'll be different. Change is good of course. But who will I email while I'm at work? :) Who will cheer me up when you're not around for me to email, and say Frank I need prayer? You know who? You will be. You've got that kind of aura about you that stays. And it is because of who you are that when I am down, your caring words, and encouragement, and wisdom will play itself over and over in my head. Not everyone has that ability, but you do.

You're a great person Francois, and don't let anyone tell you any different.

May God bless and keep you under his wing always. Best wishes to someone that is so worthy.

Brings tears to my eyes even after reading it for the 50th time! We spend so much time going through the motions of our lives. Yes, we do care about each other and I am focusing especially on our everyday relationships, the ones we may only see at work or play ball with or go to school with. These are the people we love like sisters and brothers and even though they may know it; we need to tell them that we are thankful for them being in out lives. So, when you go to work take the time to send a note or better, give your co worker a hug and say "I appreciate the laughs and grins we share each day. Our friendship really means the world to me and so do you!"It may feel uncomfortable to say but I guarantee that you will feel so good when you see your friends beaming because of what you have told them. Believe me, I know!

Until next time....

I send you all much love!

"Nothing You Want is Upstream!"

2007-07-08T15:16:00.000-04:00

Hello and welcome back! It's been a couple of weeks at least since the last edition of Radiant You! A lot has happened since we last talked and I made a major choice about something that I had been struggling with for the longest time. After some serious reflection about where I am and looking at where I want to be, I decided to leave my employment and take some temporary jobs that would give me the freedom to pursue my dream of Radiant University. Mind you, I am not the kind to quickly make up my mind and just go. Most times I have to be pushed, prodded and even dragged, kicking and screaming because even though I may be in a space that I disagree with and complain about everyday, I stay and push on. I took a week to think and meditate and finally I knew that I needed to take that leap off the diving board and pursue my dreams. Oh I am still nervous and I think to myself what have I done? I know though, that I will be OK. I just received a reminder of it just before I started to right this. I receive emails from various Masters of the Secret. This lesson was from John Assaraf. He wrote about the Law of Rhythm which states that "everything is moving in perfect rhythm and at perfect speed." Even though I heard it before in different ways my mind was going "And your point is?"

Well this is what John wrote:

"When I was in my 20s, I visited the Copa Cabana beach in Rio de Janeiro. I had been a competitive swimmer in my youth and a triathlete as an adult, so I thought I was safe in the ocean, even though I'd trained only in lakes and swimming pools.
Then I found myself caught in a major current one day. I thought I would just out swim it, go against it, and make my way back to shore.
Wrong! Here I was, this strapping young guy, trying to battle the ocean and losing. I nearly died that day.
What I didn't realize was that if I had swum across the current, I'd have gotten out of it. Or if I had just let it carry me, within about a hundred yards I'd have been out of it. With some luck and lot of stamina, I finally made it out of the water, exhausted and having learned a profound lesson about the nature of currents and my will to live.
Not fighting feels totally unnatural to the person who isn't familiar with how currents work, but let's face it, the universe is fairly relentless.
Let me put this another way: Nothing you want is upstream!"

Let me repeat that "Nothing you want is upstream!" I repeat it not only for you but for myself because lets face it. We are in a three dimensional world with the thoughts and emotions that go along with it. I can say with confidence that this message from John came at the precise time I needed to once again be reminded that all is well.

I send you all bunches of love!

The Kitchen of The Universe

2007-06-24T14:22:00.000-04:00

I am thankful to all of you who read "Radiant You!" and forward it to your friends and loved ones. It means that my dream of Radiant University and my book are moving forward. I know that they are as real as this lap top I am typing on right now. Today I want to talk to you about sitting quietly and letting Source prepare your order in the Kitchen of the Universe.
Sitting: That's all we really need to do. We rush along with our lives, worrying about what is going to happen next or what we need to do and when things don't happen, we wonder why? This happened to me last week. The week started off badly and it snow-balled. Friends close to me were very happy about their relationships and careers and how wonderful their lives were going and I was doing my best to be happy for them but instead I was urging the Universe on, saying "What about me? When is my turn going to come? If you did it my way then I wouldn't be sitting here getting angry."

In short, I was directing Source in my way of creating bliss instead of simply putting in my order for what I want to have in my life, which includes prosperity in monetary wealth as well as a romantic relationship and staying out of the way.

As I was sitting today, stewing about things and trying to vent with someone who was having her own problems, I suddenly realized that I had been telling the Universe how my order should be prepared. Instead of sitting and enjoying the music and letting the waiter refill my water and maybe bring me a little Chablis and some fresh baked bread sticks, knowing that the Universe is well b beyond a Five Star establishment. I know my order will be sumptuous and will exceed my expectations. All I need to do is place my order and stay out of the kitchen.

By staying out of the kitchen I don't mean do nothing at all. Take guided actions which are steps that feel good to you. If your gut says to write a letter or make a phone call then by all means do that. If you see a sign for lottery tickets and you feel a nudge, buy one. You may need to just be quiet for a while and take a breather from friendships that aren't serving you at the moment. If they are friends that truly care about you, I am certain they will understand and give you the time and space you need and will be there for you when you are ready gain.

One action I find very effective is to write about my life as if several years have passed. I write about the beautiful house I am living in, being very descriptive about the decor and layout and who I am with as well as what I am doing now that has made my dreams come true. Here is an example of what I mean:

I have a fantastic life! I really and truly do! As I sit comfortably in my den writing this on my lap top, Suzy, my Golden, lies at my feet. My wife Patty is sitting next to me reading a book. A fire is roaring in the fire place as there is a chill in the Colorado night. In the home theater right next to this one, Alex. Zak and Christian are watching a movie that hasn't been released in theaters yet. Steven Spielberg who my wife and I befriended on a trip to San Diego where Radiant University was held several months back was very kind to allow us to be the first outside of the industry to see it. They are watching along with my wife's two daughters and one son: Lisa Kelli and Marc. Our kids get along great. The do have their disagreements as all kids do but I know that they would be right there for each other if they needed someone.

Patty said to me just the other day "isn't amazing where we were just a year ago?" I sit for a moment and think; last year at this time I was sharing a house with someone I got along with OK but we often preferred to be alone. I was in a job that I dreaded and often looked for ways to take the day off. I was over 40 thousand dollars in debt. Life was all "jacked up" as my kids like to say. Patty was also having a rough go of it, with a messy divorce and a loss of her job. Just those two events didn't do much for her health. We met each other simply for the reason that we asked Source to send someone like minded and loving to us.

Now I can imagine some of you are thinking. "Steven Spielberg? Yeah, right!" Hey, this is my life I'm creating and I choose to dream big. I encourage you to do the same. When we dream big, the intentions we have now seem minute by comparison which make us say: " More than enough to pay my bills? No problem! I'm also manifesting a Lamborghini and Steven Spielberg is a very close friend, so I can manifest more than enough money with a snap of my fingers!"

One thing I want you to know is that it's OK to want things to speed up. I truly believe that if we get complacent and sit and think "when the time is right, it will happen", we may sit and wait longer than we intend to. If we place our order to the Universe and give a written time limit. That's right. Write it down. Then your order has a very good chance of becoming part of your reality by your time limits ,if not sooner just as long as you stay out of the Universal Kitchen and let Source prepare your dream order for you.

I send you all, much love.

Karen Wants to Help You to Create Your Perfect Body!

2007-06-21T18:34:00.000-04:00

My friend, Karen Curry, has created a new class to help you create your perfect body.

Read on to find out how Karen can help you lose weight, feel great and beautiful!
I send you all much love!
Frank Krzykwa
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Announcing a New Joyful Mission Bootcamp:
The Perfect Body Bootcamp
Do you know what you need to do to take care of your body but you just can’t seem get motivated to do it?
Have you ever worked hard to lose weight only to gain it back again?
Do you feel ashamed of your body?
It’s not your fault. The truth is diets and exercise alone don’t work.
The secret to having a perfect body is in your mind.
You just have to know how to unlock the power of your mind to help you create the healthy, perfect body you deserve!
Imagine this. You wake up feeling energized and excited about your day. You spring out of bed and enjoy the feeling of your body carrying you perfectly throughout the day. You deeply appreciate your physical form and you wear clothes that are beautiful and comfortable.
People notice you all the time and comment on how radiant you are.
You enjoy the lightness of your body and you make good nutritional and activity choices that are healthy and perfect for you. You always feel good about food and exercise.
You look at your body at night before you go to bed and you feel grateful to be blessed with such a perfect body. You feel radiantly healthy and beautiful!
If you have struggled with your weight, your willpower, your eating habits and just plain not feeling good about your body it is probably because you have years of habits and beliefs that are keeping you stuck!
We are perfectly designed to feel good and be beautiful.
It is your abundant birthright.
But over the years we have experiences and traumas that take us away from our birthright of beauty and wellness.
Do this. Quickly write down the reasons why you don’t have the body you want right now.
Are there particular events or experiences that triggered these reasons?
Here are some common beliefs my clients share with me about their bodies:
1. I hold on to the weight because I don’t like attention from men.2. I use food for comfort.3. I feel deprived when I diet.4. Everyone in my family is overweight. It’s genetic.5. Every time I lose weight, I gain it back.6. I’m older now. It’s too hard to lose weight.
These are just a few examples of stories and beliefs. You may have your own.
When you rewrite these stories and reprogram your mind it clears the way for you to create perfect beauty and health.
But you have to convince your mind that it is safe and good to release old traumas and stories. Often, we create stories and beliefs to protect ourselves.
For example, if you are holding on to weight because you don’t like attention from men, there may have been a time in your life when it was important for you to take a break from relationships. Maybe you experienced trauma or a difficult divorce.
But now the beliefs and habits you created from that experience are keeping you from feeling beautiful and healthy.
(And you deserve to feel healthy and beautiful!)
I created The Perfect Body Bootcamp to help you learn how to remove limiting beliefs and traumas so you can easily change your body by changing your mind.
Look, I know how you feel. I am 41 (almost 42) years old. My body has carried four huge babies, breastfed for over 11 years. I married into a family of VERY thin, beautiful women who were always pressuring me to look good for the family. I have never been thin and felt ugly most of my life.
There were years when I would forbid people to photograph me and if they did, I immediately threw the photos out (or cut myself out of the photo).
I was lucky enough a few years ago to stumble across new cutting-edge energy psychology techniques that helped me release my emotional blocks to feeling good about my body.
I used these techniques every day and gradually I started to feel beautiful and healthy.
And as my mind changed, so did my body. Today I feel and look more beautiful than I have ever felt in my life. I am 30 pounds lighter and I feel great!
I have used these techniques with hundreds of my clients with heart-warming results. I have witnessed my clients shattering old thoughts and beliefs that have kept them from feeling good and going on to love their bodies and create health and wellness for themselves in a powerful way.
But, that’s not all.
Not only did my clients feel better and get healthier, but their whole lives began to transform magically. Their relationships started improving. Finances got better and life fulfillment sky-rocketed.
Perfect Body Bootcamp starts on June 27 at 9pm Eastern/8pm Central/6pm Eastern. Class meets for one hour for 8 weeks. All classes are recorded so if you miss a class you can always catch up later.

Feeling Good and Getting Better Every Day.

2007-06-12T23:23:00.000-04:00

I have to tell you that I am feeling soooo good! It is 11:24 in the evening eastern time, Justin Verlander just threw a no hitter for the Tigers and my house-mate's chocolate lab lies sleeping at my feet snoring contentedly and very loudly. I am listening to a Abraham-Hicks CD my dear friend CJ sent to me. It is really amazing, because what I am listening to, which is about telling the good stories to create a fantastically beautiful reality is just what I've been working on over the past couple weeks. It really is true. We do attract what we think about. Yes, life is very sweet.

For the longest time, I've known in my heart that I have a book in me, I've started and stopped various projects, an autobiographical novel, a story about time travel; I even worked on a story about my dad's life. Nothing was giving me that good feeling where I wanted to get up and shout "yeah baby!" So until "Radiant You" The only time I have composed anything was to write what I call "long ass emails" to my friends. When I created this blog the knowing that there is a book in me began to reawaken. I am really excited about this book as it takes shape first in my head and then to my finger tips as they dance across the keys on my lap top. Title ideas have come to me while I'm driving to work, chapter ideas pop into my head at odd times, but always at the times where I have a pen and a napkin handy to write them down and now I have the idea to share my idea with you.

So what is this book about? I wont give away too much except to tell you that "Radiant You" has much to do with it. In future weeks I will tell you a bit more about it. I may even ask for your input too.

I'm sure you've all heard the classic Beatles classic "Yesterday" There is a line that goes "Suddenly I'm not half the man I used to be." Paul McCartney sings it beautifully but when I think about it in relation to myself and where I'm at, I have to kindly disagree. I am more of a man than I used to be and all of you are more of the men and women you were too. If you look back upon the past several months and back even further, let's say the past five to ten years, you will discover that all you have experienced: the fantastically happy times, the not so good, and the down right ugly has contributed to making you a more brilliant being. OK you may have gone from being married to divorced and as you read this you might be thinking "oh yeah Frank, life suuuuure is wonderful. My ex has taken me for every cent I have." So true, life may not be all that you have dreamed of but do something for me. Go to your mirror and take a long look at yourself. Go ahead, I'll wait for you. OK now that you are back let me tell you something. The you that was reflected back at you has changed so much and for the better. You are so much brighter and brilliant and fantastically too I might add. The fact that you may be going through a divorce or have lost your job has a lot to do with who you are but not in the negative low vibrational way you may be thinking. You have created all of your reality. The divorce or your sudden unemployment is source answering your prayers for a joyful high paying job or a relationship that knocks you over with an abundance of love each day. You may have thought of your high paying job being with the same company you have been with for the past six years or your mate suddenly becoming more open to discussing what matters to you. Don't put limits on the Universe. Allow it to do the work that it loves so much; creating magic in your life each day. There is no shadow hanging over you. You are loved. You are absolutely supported. Source is knocking at your door to wrap you in unconditionally loving arms. All you have to do is open it.
You are much more the man and lady you used to be. I'll be willing to bet that if you peel back all the layers of you, there is no way you would ever go back to yesterday because the you you've become is so much more fun and interesting than you possibly would've ever imagined.

I send you all love and much joy.

My thanks to Tub Gunard for Happy Happy Joy Joy.

Go Ahead, Be Cocky!

2007-06-07T22:09:00.000-04:00

Self talk. I wrote in my last post that much of my self talk had been negative. My dad was very belittling or I'm stuck in a job that keeps me locked up in my cubicle. I was forced to drink cod liver oil when I was six. I could go on and on. I was listening in to Karen's Prosperity Boot Camp tonight and my self talk was saying"this is sooooo boring! Where is the energy, people?" Karen focused on why when bad things happen, it's a metaphor for something we need to heed in our lives. She mentioned her car brakes going out which was a message to her to take a break because she had been going non stop. Another person was craving spicy food because he was bored, he wanted his life to be spicy and exciting. As I listened to these and other stories, I realized that it wasn't the class that was boring, everyone attending was having a great time. It was me! I needed to bear the responsibility for my boredom and only I could change my self talk and raise my excitement level and be happy again. So I decided to create a list of reasons to be excited about my life:

I am so very clever

I am very funny (that's ha-ha funny not peculiar but peculiar is good!)

I was told the other day that I have a sexy voice. ;-)

I have three wonderful sons and every-time I'm with them it's like watching a Second City Troupe, they really crack me up. :-)

Miracles happen to ME every day!

I write a great blog that is read by thousands!

I am the President of Radiant University and yes, we will be in Sedona and I still think a good one word name would be Polack but how about Krzykster ( Can you say that Karen ,without the Vodka?)

I am a radiant shining light that attracts good and prosperity in my life every day!

EVERYBODY LOVES ME!

I see the good in EVERYONE!

Over the years I have been taught that it's best not to talk in bold terms about oneself, because no one likes a cocky person. When I think of the word "cocky" I'm reminded of the year 1968 when a young Denny McLain won 31 games for the Detroit Tigers. He was the first 30 game winner since Dizzy Dean won 31 for the St. Louis Cardinals in 1934. Denny told a reporter "When I'm out there (pitching) I'm the best there is." He was branded as brash by the press for his statements about his ability; well so what? He wasn't lying, he was the best out there in 1968.

My point is that we serve no one by being modest. We need to talk big about ourselves and talk even bigger about the people around us. To paraphrase Denny, when we're out there we're the best! Shine your light on everyone and watch the whole world grab that energy and shine like super novas into the Universe!

I send all of you much love and light!

Marianne, Self Talk, Ascending and Prayer

2007-06-04T22:36:00.000-04:00

Howdy People!

This week's posting will be on several topics rather than one. My mind has been going in so many different directions of late so I have much to talk about.

I would first of all like to extend my sincerest thanks to my good friend CJ.
Her guest post spoke to a lot of people but I believe the person who was affected the most was yours truly. I created Radiant You! for everyone to be aware of the shining light that they are. That includes moi. Every so often I wonder ,"Am I really making a difference? Does anyone really care?" CJ's quoting of Marianne Williamson really put a double shot of caffeine into my own radiance. "Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous." Actually, who are you NOT to be. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that others won't feel insecure around you. We are born to manifest the glory that is within us. It is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." Thank you CJ, you are indeed a beautiful, intuitive friend who I appreciate very much!

I have mentioned before that I am making an attempt to avoid as much as possible news shows on TV and radio. The negativity of the news is a big reason. I believe that our positive power to manifest prosperity is doubled when negativity is reduced greatly. I am finding it's not only news that can be negative, but our own self talk. The other day I was talking to a friend and within 20 minutes I brought up sad tales of my childhood. She pointed it out to me and I was shocked! We all have bad times we go through, but for me personally... most of it was pretty darned good. My talking about some embarrassing time or when a parent or sibling was showing their humanness by not being the shining stars that they are, was holding me back from obtaining all of the good that the Universe is waiting to shower upon me. So along with News in the media, I will now shut off old negative film footage in my head. I think now about playing catch in the back yard with my dad or getting horsey rides and wrestling with him. Now those are some sweet memories!

Trish, my Florida friend wanted to clarify with me her version of "ascending" she said that Karen and I got it wrong on Prosperity Radio. She doesn't consider "ascending" as leaving the earth and going back home but rather increasing our vibrational speed to attract more good into our lives and to the World. So Trish, I hope I have cleared that up!. Coffee sex and chocolate should still be at the top of our lists along with a good ice cold beer and the Tigers winning the World Series!

Finally, if you would, please send a prayer out for a very dear friend in Pennsylvania. Her ex husband and his father were killed in an accident almost two Fridays ago. I know she had a trying marriage and he gave her a rough time, but they did love each other once and she only prayed for the best for him when they split up. My heart goes out to her and their son.

Until next time I send you all love and I also remind you that you are so very radiant and powerful. Go out and create something that you really desire right now!

Have You Really Looked at Your Radiance Lately?

2007-05-31T06:52:00.000-04:00

Guest Post for Radiant You Blog
By CJ

Hello all you Radiant You fans! It is a pleasure to “meet” you and I know you are in a good vibration if you have found Frank and this blog. Knowing Frank you know determination for good, upliftment and joy in one delightfully humorous package. I may not tickle your funny bone like he does, but I have another mission today.
I want to know, have you looked full on at your radiant self lately? Have you dared to look … in a mirror or inward, at the brilliance of your heart … and seen your True Self? Have you dared to shine your radiance as you move through your days, Your Grace?
Honestly, as an intuitive and coach, I encounter people all day every day who just get up, set themselves on automatic pilot, and plow full speed into their day never once paying attention to what they are doing from a conscious perspective. Then they get to the end of their day, their week, their month, their year and wonder where the time went and what the point was of the days gone by.
I look at them and see something else. I see these lights, these vehicles of passion and joy and life, that are harnessing a considerable portion of their True Being and locking it away without so much as an aware thought, because it is how the world showed them it “should” be done … how their days and lives “should” be run … completely shrugging off any telltale signs of inner guidance … in fact, not recognizing the inner guidance their soul is emitting because they’ve been told it is just self-indulgent dreaming trying to get them off course. And self-appreciation is, of course, vanity.
You probably know exactly what I mean. If you have found Radiant You, then you are on some form of awakened journeying. Well, to you I say, I know you are on an awakened path, now don’t forget to pay attention! Don’t get sucked into the rat race mentality that is epidemic around you. Don’t sink into the numbing oblivion, like Robin Williams in “What Dreams May Come.”
Instead, choose to live your life consciously, and with deliberate intent! Recall the words of Marianne Williamson who said, "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, "Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous." Actually, who are you NOT to be. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that others won't feel insecure around you. We are born to manifest the glory that is within us. It is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
I promise you, if you choose this path, and look full on at everything that is happening around you, within you and that you are walking toward, you will feel a deep satisfaction … not just every day, but every moment! You will find your way to clarity regarding what is truly import to keep in your life and what is not really serving your goals (aka, dreams) and your joy. You will find the deep satisfaction and amazing wonder of deliberately creating your days and your dreams. You will find deeper, richer, more colorful and rewarding relationships, work and adventures. And when you start this deliberate-living ball rolling, you will find it snowball in ease … and joy.
Begin with the simple first step of taking the time to slow down enough and really look at your radiant self full on. If you can’t get past some superficial flaw presenting on your outside, start by appreciating something factual like the miracle of cell-replication that your body has the inner wisdom to bless you with … without you asking, without you having to prove your worthiness, and without you having to lift a finger. Then move to the harder stuff … but LOOK. Don’t settle. Don’t stop. And don’t let anyone else try to tell you what is right or best for you. YOU came to live your life and you need to step up to the plate and grab the bat and swing with all your might for the experience you came here to have.
As you get better at accepting, appreciating and then honoring your own radiance, you won’t be able to help yourself and your appreciation and awe of this human journey and your divinity will simply bliss you out.
And then, my friend, life IS but a dream.
Gently flowing merrily downstream.

I Was on Karen's Radio Show This Week! Woooo Hoooo!

2007-05-30T21:09:00.000-04:00

Hello friends! I send prayers and good thoughts that all is well in your world and that you and yours are allowing love and goodness in your lives. This entry is going to be a short one. It's not that I don't have a lot to say. Give me a subject and I could go on and on. This is a short posting because my dear friend CJ from the Land of 10,000 Lakes, Minnesota will be my guest blogger this week. If you haven't read her signature blog Letting In My Good , I nudge you gently, not once but three times to go take a look. CJ is someone I am very proud to call my friend. So she will be submitting the post this week and I hope to have the one and only Karen Joyful Mission Curry to be my next guest blogger. Speaking of Karen, I was so honored to be her guest on her radio show yesterday. You know what's cool about this? I manifested it so easily. I listened to one of her shows over a month ago and thought to myself that it would be cool to be on her show. I put the thought out there and let it go completely forgetting about it until I was on a free teleclass that she often has. Karen mentioned that she was going to be in California over the weekend and asked if there was anyone who wanted to do her show. I said that really sounded like fun but my only phone is my cell phone and you need a land line to run the dash board. So someone else volunteered to do the show. Karen asked me to be the next guest which I quickly said "Hell yes Karen. Woooo Hooooo!" So I took the three steps Karen teaches in her Prosperity Boot Camp to manifest anything in your life.

You have to know what you want.

You have to believe you can have it.

You have to take guided action to get it.

I knew I wanted to be on the show. I had a good picture in my head of me being interviewed laughing and having a great time and the guided action I took was simply saying that it would be cool to be the guest host for her while she was basking in the California sun!

Anyway I had a blast on Karen's show and have been listening to myself over and over again. I downloaded it to my iPod and even burned a CD of it. Vain? The old Frank would have thought so, but the new Frank knows that there is no vanity. I choose now to live my life with complete joy and love of life and as Karen says ,"Coffee, sex and chocolate" All three are wonderful and I will also add a good cold beer and the Detroit Tigers winning the World Series. I will sign off for now. CJ will be my guest blogger this week so look for that in the next 24 hours.

I send you all love!

A Small Thought Starts Something Huge!

2007-05-17T20:01:00.000-04:00

Have you ever wanted to speak from your heart to someone that you care about very much and respect so deeply but you just couldn't get the words to come out right because even though you knew they loved you unconditionally, this tiny voice in your head said "they're gonna laugh at you" or "you are really dumb for even thinking about saying what you're going to say" so you delayed speaking what was in your heart or asking them what you wanted to ask? I'm certain a lot of you have gone through this fear. Did you also find yourself thinking "screw it " or some form of the word and just blurting out what you wanted to announce ; damn the torpedoes? And when you said your piece or asked the question you had wanted to ask, they looked at you with a loving smile and said... "That's the best idea ever!" Or "Of course I'll help. What made you think I wouldn't?"

Over the past couple of days I have been thinking of making a major announcement here on Radiant You! I have rehearsed it in my head and heard those tiny voices saying "boy is that dumb!" I have written this out and I still struggle with it so I just wind myself up and say "screw it" ( or some other word that means screw) and tell you this. Today I am announcing the creation of "Radiant University" which has started as a simple thought. "Radiant University" are huge events held in various cities and towns near you. They are weekend gatherings where many will join together to hear speakers such as Marianne Williamson, Dr. Wayne Dyer, Deepak Chopra, Jack Canfield, Cheryl Richardson, and many other light workers come to speak, teach, inspire you to reach for your dreams. "Radiant University" will be in places like Sedona, Arizona, Seattle, Washington, Chicago, Illinois, Grand Rapids, Michigan, Raleigh, North Carolina and many more. Most of these events will be weekend events from Friday to Sunday. There will be a couple of week long events during the year in different towns. This is so big people! When I consider this I think "This is huge! How the heck is this all going to happen? I don't have the foggiest idea of how this is all going to come together!" That's the beauty and love of God. All I have to do is put the thought of "Radiant University" out there and let it go and it will manifest magically and easily. I do ask for your positive thoughts and love. Good thoughts always speed things up. A couple of you know about "Radiant University" already. I thank you for your encouragement. "Radiant University" is not only weekend events, (sort of a "New Age a-Palooza" ) it is inspirational books, DVDs CDs telecourses and more. Like I said, this is humongous! The more I write about it in this blog and in the dream statements I have written (and I have written it more than once because it feels sooooo good) the more excited I get and the more excited I get the faster it grows! I have always loved helping people. I come from a family that cares about others very much and for my mom and dad and my two sisters I am very thankful. I am thankful to many of you too. Like you CJ and you Karen, sunning yourself in beautiful Minneapolis Minnesota, pushing your " easy button" And, oh yeah, Sylvie in Montreal... yes, "Radiant University "will be coming to Canada too! Trish in Florida and my dear friend Sherry in North Carolina too! All of you, every single one of you send good thoughts and those thoughts build on more good thoughts which help to launch this like Joel Zumaya throwing heat at 101 mph... did I mention this is huge?

I send you all love!

Thank You!

Things have been going wonderfully for me in the past several weeks. It seems that each day something new and miraculous is happening as I am starting to get the hang of manifesting things by just thinking about them. This blog is just one example. I am getting compliments from everyone who has read it and I feel the Universe shifting to open more doors for me and some are being open so wide I could drive a truck through them. I am finding more ways to attract more abundance and I am ever so grateful. There has been a short time though that I have sat and waited for the other shoe to drop and as I have done so, it dropped.

Wherever I put my thoughts to, the Universe has granted my wish. Something happened this past weekend which didn't put me in the best of moods and I started to shut down and go into what I like to call my Eeyore mode.

Eeyore is of course, the donkey in Winnie the Pooh who always thinks the worse is going to happen and as he thinks, so it happens. Anyway, I'm thinking "yeah everything is great, I'm getting clear on what I want and the stars and planets are all aligning to give me exactly what I desire, but something is going to happen to mess it all up." That's exactly what happened. My life I am building started to crumble, which made me start to doubt everything that I was doing. I knew I had to get out of the Eeyore mode and back to feeling like the happy energetic Tigger who sees life as a festival. I meditated on it, I read uplifting words of encouragement from Abraham-Hicks (and if you haven't, I strongly encourage you to read any of the books from Jerry and Esther Hicks Ask and It Is Given is a good one to start with.) Anyway, where was I? Oh yeah, while I was doing all of this I was still feeling down, until something that Karen Curry said in a Prosperity class she teaches came back to me. She said that you can be very clear about what you want ,such as a loving relationship or more money and as you are thinking about your great life and this feeling of clarity, all of a sudden you are given a pink slip or your spouse asks for a divorce or your girl or boyfriend says to look elsewhere because they are not the one for you.

Yes, it's true that losing your job or having your spouse tell you they want out of the marriage or even your car getting totalled are not good things on the surface but, if you take the time to really absorb all this bad stuff and ask "where is the good?" You might find that the Universe in all it's wisdom and unconditional love for you is creating space for you to have the great amounts of wealth that you have dreamed about or a love that thinks you are the bees knees or even make space in your garage for that sports car. So now I wake up each morning and thank Source for all the wonderful things that I have, my Alfa Romeo Spider, my 9000 square foot cedar log home in Colorado, my net worth of 50 billion dollars and my beautiful wife who joins me in manifesting a wonderful life and, thinks I am the tiger's roar.

The thing that really stands out for me is not that the Universe is shifting to help me create my life but rather the simple truth that there is no illness only health, there is no poverty only wealth and the best of all is it's brought along by the energy of love. So love yourself first because when you look at yourself in the mirror and can say without a doubt "I am the cat's pajamas" your love light shines strong and others will come running like a half back speeding to the end zone!

I love you all!

Anchor Your Dreams!

2007-05-02T20:37:00.000-04:00

I love music. All kinds. Mozart , Beethoven, Sinatra and Peggy Lee. I grew up listening to my dad’s Hank Williams records.I still consider “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry” one of the finest country lyrics ever. When I was seven, my oldest sister bought a record by a new group that I never saw the likes of before. When Twist and Shout reverberated from the small speakers of our record player I was transformed. I couldn’t get enough! If the music I loved so much before the Beatles could move my spirit and rise my energy level 50 levels higher, the songs of Lennon & McCartney doubled my excitement. I love music and I’ve never met anyone who hasn’t been effected by it in someway. It brings out so many emotions and that’s what I want to talk to you about today.

I have learned from Karen Curry that listening to joyful music helps to anchor our desires into our consciousness. So whenever I would listen to “John Lennon, sore throat and all, belt out “Twist and Shout” I was revved up and ready to go! If I heard “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry” I was the loneliest guy you’d ever meet. I have taken Karen’s advice and created a prosperity play list on my iPod . Each piece of music is picked because of the good feelings they give me. I even feel my being vibrate and what a great feeling that is! I will list just a few of the songs in my “Prosperity” play list .

Magical Mystery Tour, The Beatles. “Roll up! Roll up for the Mystery Tour!” What a magical song. I start laughing like a joyous three year old that has found the best Christmas present ever. “The Magical Mystery Tour is dying to take you away, take you away, take you today!”

Swinging On a Star”, Frank Sinatra. I remember this one from when I was a knee high to a grasshopper. I loved the imagery of it then and I think it’s great now. “Would you like to swing on a star? Carry moonbeams home in a jar And be better off than you are. Or would you rather be a mule?” Oh, give me the star any day!

In the Mood, "A band ought to have a sound all of its own. It ought to have a personality." - Glenn Miller. What a personality his band had. In the Mood is the perfect showcase of that personality. When this comes across my speakers I can only think that he was so far ahead of the others in the 1930’s and 40’s. The others had to take their cue from Glenn.

Wouldn’t It Be Nice? The Beach Boys. A young boys dream about a perfect life. “You know the more we talk about it. it only makes it worse to live with out it, but let’s talk about it. Wouldn’t it be nice?” Yes, let’s talk about it and ramp up those intentions!

I Feel Fine, The Beatles .I remember getting this as a 45 on Christmas of 1964. I still love the feedback that introduces the wonderful riff backed by Ringo’s calypso beat. “Baby’s good to me you know. She’s happy as can be you know, she said so. I’m in love with her and I feel fine.” as "Stimpson J. Cat" once sang ,“Happy Happy Joy Joy!”

I play these songs often. In my car or at home; especially when I find myself getting down and feeling blue. They really help to pick my spirits up help me get excited about my desires. I hope you will find your signature tunes to anchor your dreams soon!

Update: I am inviting all of you to send me your list of songs that not only get your toes tapping and your fingers snapping but most importantly they get your dreams in vibrational sync with the universe. Please send your songs along with a short note about why they inspire you to great things and I will publish them on an up coming blog. Send them to radiantuniversity@gmail.com I look forward to hearing from you very soon!

Update # 2: I have made an adjustment to the comments part of this blog. Now anyone can post a comment. You know longer have to have a Gmail account to post. It is my intention to help everyone know they are loved and that we as the universe can change everything for the better and there is more than enough for everyone.

I send all of you much love!

Frank

A Love Story!

2007-04-25T22:17:00.001-04:00

What does it really mean when someone in our life dies? Do we lose touch with our own existence? Does a little bit of us die along with that friend, parent, sibling or spouse? And what about someone who gave us life but wasn't there to watch us grow up? When a parent dies as did the father of Kerri, a very dear friend, having almost zero contact with her or her sister from a very early age. Did they lose a part of themselves when he left this level of existence;or have they taken those lessons he taught them so well during his life on earth and ran with them?

We made the choice to be born. We chose our parents, our brother's and sisters, our lovers and even the cities we live in long before we took that leap into our physical bodies. While we made these choices, our parents, siblings, friends and lovers chose us as well. These choices were made so that we may learn about ourselves and how we can better interact with the world around us. Even in the higher levels of heaven we are learning and striving to vibrate with total love.

Was the choice of a parent not to have contact with his children more an act of love than one of selfishness? If you take a rose and look at it from one angle only, you see it in only that degree. However, take that same rose and examine it closely, turning it to see all sides, you will appreciate the many facets of it. That flower is now seen with depth which makes it even more beautiful. Amazing isn't it? When we take something we thought we knew so well and really look at it fully at every angle, we see so much more and it becomes even more beautiful, more radiant. Just like that flower, we need to look at all angles and the depth of life. We cannot take a cursory glance at a life and tell the world we know without a shadow of doubt that we know what intention they have, because we don't.

When he made the choice to walk out of his daughter's life, I am very sure there was a lot of confusion and feelings were deeply hurt but you know what? Because of his action which when looked at from one side only was a very selfish choice. My friend became a wonderful loving mother and someone who's friendship I value greatly. We need to look at his choice to walk away, at all sides and see the energy of love that during his existence on earth he probably didn't recognize.

When Kerri received word that her father was dying, she made it a point to call and talk to him. He wasn't able to respond because the cancer had taken away his ability to speak. It didn't diminish his ability to hear and probably enhanced it. I am not privy to what she said, words between a child and a dying parent are only for them. I have no doubt that they were words of love, compassion and forgiveness. He passed within 24 hours of their talk.

Kerri struggled with traveling north for the wake and funeral service. After much soul searching and prayer, she decided not to go. Some would argue that she would regret not going. I know she received a response to her prayers from her inner wisdom and she was happy with her choice. She sat in quiet reflection sending prayers of love and gratitude to him. I sent prayers of thanks too because without his existence and the choices he had made in preparation for his journey on earth, I never would have known such a beautiful soul. You see when choices are made for our life journey, everything and everyone factors into the equation of love, even the person you pass on the street.

Does a part of us die when a loved one passes? I like to think that we take a bit of their energy and become even more vibrant and loving if we look at the rose of their life at all angles.

I send love to all of you!

I would like to thank Thejaswi for the beautiful rose you see here.

Sending Love and Light to EVERYONE

2007-04-21T08:37:00.000-04:00

Since the tragedy that occurred this past week at Virginia Tech, I have struggled with whether I should ignore it or write about it. After a week of agonizing and praying, I have decided to that it is better to put my thoughts out for all to read.

After seeing all the photos of the grieving students, I am praying for them as well as for the families and loved ones of the victims. I pray for the Virginia Tech Campus Police who have been receiving much criticism that isn't deserved. Too many times we see the police force of our communities as almost robotic, without feelings, trained to react to a situation and then just go home to their families without being affected by what they have witnessed or by choices they had to make, when in normal circumstances, they would never even think of having to make. I send the Virginia Tech Police a whole lot of love and light.

Lastly and I think most importantly, I send love and light to the family of Seung-hui Cho. Speaking on behalf of her family, Sun-Kyung Cho, the sister of Cho said that his actions have "made the world weep." I cannot even begin to imagine a family's anguish knowing that someone they loved, someone they prayed for complete healing would be capable of such an act. I can feel their sorrow though, because I can feel every-one's. We are all joined together in this world and if we were stripped of the things that separate us from others, the kind of clothes we wear, our language, the foods we eat, the leaders we follow and the many ways we have been taught to pray, we really aren't different from each other at all. Sometimes I wonder what it would be like if we lost the clothes that identify us and were struck mute for a month. No one could identify us as Muslim or Jewish or Liberal or Conservative. Not being able able to speak. We would have to use gestures and touch to communicate what we are feeling to others. Can you suspend your disbelief and imagine that this tragedy would never had happened if Cho and the people around him had to use gestures to express their desires and his deep pain and hurt? What if the leaders of the U.S. and Bin Laden were stripped naked and unable to talk, is it possible that by looking into each other's eyes and seeing the worry and pain in each other that we would not be in this "War on Terror"?

I would like everyone reading this to take a day with their families and loved ones to be silent just for 24 hours. I am not asking that you take your clothing off; only be silent and communicate through eye contact, gestures and touch and allow the bond of love between yourselves to deepen.

I send you all much love and light.

I would like to thank Christine for the beautiful photograph. For more of Christine's photos check out her web site

Getting Back to Our Mission

2007-04-13T18:43:00.000-04:00

When things go wrong, we often react in ways that aren't pleasant. There have been times when I have been cut off in traffic and I have responded with a gesture or a barrage of expletives. Maybe you have been standing in a long line at the airport, trying to make a flight and because of a computer glitch, you weren't able to make the flight before the gates closed. Something somebody said could cause you to say something in return that you would never had even thought of saying. There are many situations that come up each day that can cause a normally peaceful soul to react in such an angry way that later they had wished they'd been able to catch their angry words before they left their mouth.

Several months ago, I was telling my counselor about how I can get agitated in traffic when someone is tail gating or wont merge into traffic fast enough. I said that I didn't run them off the road or anything of that nature but I did cuss a blue streak and I imagine my blood pressure went up several points. She asked, "does this make you happy? If so, don't worry about it. But if you aren't pleased with your reaction whenever this happens, imagine that driver as being someone you care about dearly and how bad you would feel if they saw you reacting like that." I knew I wouldn't feel good about myself. I decided to put her advice into action. The next time I was driving to work and I could feel my teeth clenching because Mr. Mustang was taking his time in the passing lane or Ms. Honda was weaving in and out of traffic, I thought of them as friends and family I thought the world of and I found that my jaw didn't hurt as much and I was able to see them as people who have their own dreams and worries just like I do.

I have a couple of dear friends. One has had more downs than ups but she taught me to send"love and light" to others even when I felt slighted or hurt by their actions. Sometimes it's not so easy but I do my best everyday

My other friend always amazes me with how calm she has been in the face of everything she has gone through. She is a wonderful mother to her children. She disciplines them but it is done with a selfless love and I have no doubt that her children love her just as she loves them; unconditionally.

It has been said that every thought is a prayer. I believe that everything we do is a prayer and that includes our words and gestures. Lets pray with words that smile, gestures that invite love and thoughts of peace. God loves us so much that he gave us free will. He didn't force us to be born we chose our lives here. We chose this life and this beautiful world for a reason. I don't think it was to be ugly to each other. I like to think it was to send unconditional love and light to one another. Let's get back to our mission!

Powerful Thoughts

2007-04-06T20:03:00.000-04:00

I was thinking about the recent release of the 15 British sailors and marines from Iran the other day. Like so many around the world I was over joyed that they were freed without blood shed on either side. There was some posturing by the leaders of Great Britain and Iran but I see that as being something for the news cameras. I believe that diplomacy works best behind closed doors and it all starts with a simple thought on both sides that fits like two pieces of a puzzle. The thought of British Prime Minister Tony Blair may have been "how can we get our sailors home alive and unharmed?" Iran's president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad could very well been contemplating sending a message that Iran was not to be trifled with but also looking for a way to send the 15 home without further incidents.

NPR's Eric Weiner reported that "both sides can claim victory. Iran can claim it protected the integrity of its territorial waters and stood up to the West. Britain can claim that persistent diplomatic pressure on Iran ultimately won the sailors' release and diffused an international crisis. Blair insisted that no deal was made to secure the sailors' release. "

What truly matters the most is our thoughts are very powerful. If we think about a way to solve an impasse peacefully, the Universe will conspire to make everyone happy. However, if we contemplate a show of force, we run the large risk of loss of life or injury to many. Do we really want more pain and suffering in this world? I think we've seen enough and I applaud all the peaceful solution thinkers in Iran and Great Britain. Let's all think of more ways to open a peaceful dialogue in every corner of this beautiful world.

You are Radiant!

2007-04-03T09:30:00.001-04:00

As I sit here in the local coffee shop thinking about what has happened in the past few weeks, I am truly amazed at all the good that has happened to me and to people that are near and dear to me. Just over a month ago, I was directed through a strong urge to pick up the book "The Secret" as I strolled through my favorite book store Barnes and Noble. I had seen it before and flipped through the pages, but this time it just sort of twinkled at me, beckoning me. "Pick me up. Take me to that comfortable chair, sit and read me." I did.

I have been aware of the Law of Attraction for a long time, but lately all I was attracting was bad feelings and much stress. So I shoved the law out of my mind. If all that was coming to my reality was negative things. I just didn't want anything to do with it.
So there I was, sitting with "The Secret" and like a pot of water put on the flame, bubbles started to form in my consciousness followed by more until critical mass formed. A few days later, a friend that I had emailed with over the years popped up in my Google Chat. I was surprised at first because I didn't even know that Google had a chat. Well we chatted for a few moments but then I lost my connection. We tried a couple times after that but always something I had to do came up. Finally after a week or so, she emailed me saying that maybe there was a deeper reason that all of a sudden we were in contact again. Synchronicities happen all the time but for the simple fact that we rush around with other things that have to be done right away, we don't always pay attention to them. CJ directed me to her friend Karen Curry's web site: Joyful Mission and let me know about a free teleclass for something called "Prosperity Boot Camp" I listened in on the call and was impressed by Karen's positive energy. As I listened I became more energized until she mentioned the fee. "I don't have that kind of money!" "She has a payment plan" my friend told me. "Ask about it." I called and sure enough I was able to attend "Prosperity Boot Camp" on the plan. Through my few short weeks in the class attended with others throughout the country, I have started to change my attraction point from almost nil to amazing coincidences everyday and although I am not yet making millions , I now know with a strong clarity what I want to do. I am doing it right now; I've been doing it for years. I am encouraging people to reach beyond the stars for the goodness in them and in everyone.

You are truly radiant. You possess the ability to create anything your heart desires. Just BELIEVE! Like a little child using their imagination to change a small pebble into the world's fastest sports car or putting chairs together in a circle and creating a palace more ornate than the Taj Mahal. Children believe and it is their reality.

Like a child, let your imagination run wild. Create your life. You can have anything and do anything. Don't put limit's on God. Amazing things can and will happen if you just ask, then step back and wait for the messages to come . Your response to them will be like that tea kettle of water put on the flame. Your thoughts bring a feeling in your solar plexus or a little voice in your head and your action guided by more gut feelings builds to a beautiful critical mass.

You are truly brilliant creation and there is so much to do. Don't hide your light under a bushel. Shine on and be radiant!
