#1 Tip for Creating the Life You Desire-(Let Go and Trust that Spirit Has a Plan!)!

Wow! Thanks for quoting me. 🙂 And I hope your foot heals quickly…you did great in Red Deer even with the boot on. 🙂

For me, the past 3 years have been a time of letting go of almost everything in my life that I thought was essential to my life, and trying to figure out what I should be doing with my life following the massive changes – and the more I’ve tried to find the answers, the more elusive they have been. Yet, situations and projects I would never ever have thought of (or considered persuing even if I did think of them) are occuring lately without any struggle on my part and seem to be a natural fit in ways that continue to shock and amaze me. Do I have it all figure out yet? No, but I’m becoming more comfortable with no knowing as new adventures pop up.

What is the song that plays after your card reading? It’s nice.

I just love you Colette – I look forward to your blog and weekly oracle readings every week. I took your Weight Release Energetix Lite course and loved it. Thank you for continuing to be such an inspiration to me and so many others!! In love and light.

Thank You Colette! This message is so timely for me today!

I’m in the middle of settling a large estate – that includes possibly owning our family home, and receiving an inheritance. I’m still grieving in many ways, and having to think about these things right now (so soon) just seems so awful! It is so strange to me that being a spiritual person, and knowing full well that my parents are not gone, I still don’t get out of experiencing the human emotions surrounding the illusion of death – crap! LOL

I have been going between knowing in my heart that all that I desire to happen will (doing what needs doing, accepting, allowing, being open to receive), and being so completely unsure that I become tied up in knots, anxious and scattered. Such extremes of calm clarity and flying blind – I’m not sure how to equalize! I so miss my mom – sometimes I can hardly breathe!

Let go and let God: Spirit has a plan ~ Spirit has a plan ~ Spirit has a plan — my new mantra. 🙂

Thank you for the opportunity to share 🙂

Hi Colette
You always write great things ! .. Your fav authors are some of mine too ! .. Recently I have been forcing my children to read some books, they have been unschooled and usually I go with the child led idea .. But lately I decided that they could use a burst of inspiration ! Both of them have done getting into the gap with Wayne Dyer and also his sound of creation meditation, so they are open to outside the box ideas .. My 15 year son has completed a Mabel Katz book on Ho’oponopono and Joe Vitale’s book Zero Limits .. Now he has moved on to the first book in the series Masters of the Far East, by Baird T Spalding ! .. With him starting book 1, I decided to re read the series, and I am reading book 2 again !
When I moved from my home, I gave away all my Ponder books, and I had every single one, and all my Unity books and all my Florence Scovell Shinn books too .. I kept what I felt I would want to read again someday .. Luckily my mother has all of Catherine Ponders books, so if I get the urge, I can get them again !
While out for a morning walk today, I thanked Spirit for bringing you to my attention ! .. You have assisted me to remember who I am, not what I have accomplished , or not accomplished ! .. I am humbled by the Greatness of God, working to show me the truth . thank you ! .. Your example of letting go and letting God is so danged helpful ! .. Lisa xoxox

I have had more highly unusual, truly challenging and just bizarre situations in my life since I were a child. I have been to hell and back so many times I could recognize the path with my eyes closed. However, for every hit, I quietly brushed off and rose to my feet. Sometimes the lessons were so abundant that as soo as I stood, I’d find myself on the ground yet again. Now, I am neither stupid or spiritually uneducated so I wasn’t repeating the same errors, they have simply been an onslaught of lessons. I have learned to let go and trust and the universe generally gifts me with a solution. For instance, I had an apt. (Walk out basement) which was actually very bright and nice as it was in a large Victorian house. As winter rolled round and I turned on the heat ( just at night as I was working all day) and I received my 1st real heating bill, it registered over $1300.00. Come to find out it was an illegal apt and the landlord and other 4 apts electricity were all connected to my elec box. When the landlord clld in a certified electrician as I insisted, it ended up being her uncle who was not certified in anything but perhaps the ability to con people. I ended up going to an atty and had no other choice but to sue , so the bill could be paid. Those first two wks after “she” was notified was miserable. I was looking desperately for a new place but was having no luck at all. I went to bed praying with all of my might, asking for a home of my own as I was so tired of bad landlords, perverts , thieves and crazy individuals having authority over me and my private life. That night I dreamt of a massive White House with a red door. I was walking up the big block sidewalk ( very wealthy, tidy area) with the key to this house in my hand. In the dream, it was like my own but not 100%. Three days later I found an ad for a caretaker, interviewed for it and never imagined I would be the lucky recipient. I was chosen, over single men, young families etc. when I went back to meet with the owner, he handed me the keys and gave me the address to which I was only aware of the general area. We signed some legalities and he followed me to the house. When I pulled up in front I actually began to cry. It was the exact same house in my dream. As an artist, Int. Designer and architectural student, this 17 rm colonial was beyond a dream come true… I opened my own in house studio and refurbished the house little by little. I put frescoes on the ceilings, marbelized the fireplaces I was a child in a candy store. Not only were my prayers answered, from then on, in difficult times, I verily , wholeheartedly believed in miracles. I catch myself fretting and immediately curb that reaction and hand it over to the universe. Many will be surprised to find just how many angels also come to assist. True faith is like magic! Best to all..

Spirit has a plan! Spirit has a plan! Spirit has a plan!

Well Colette, you managed to “get all in my CoolAid” again, as we sisters like to say at times. Letting go. One of the easiest things to say and teach; But, one of the more challenging things to do. (I say this about myself.) Lord knows, I need the constant reminder to relinquish control and walk by faith. Thank you for being you. For being authentic, and for keeping it real. I want nothing more than divine will for my life and with that said I have had to let go again, again, and again! At every plateau, from glory to glory, I let go. I am grateful for all the beautiful teachers in my life (that includes you) and the incredibly beautiful life I have manifested.

Spirit has a plan! Spirit has a plan! Spirit has a plan!

Thank you Colette.

Spirit has a plan! And how challenging it is sometimes to surrender to it and let the miracles happen! Learning about, and living, mindfulness has opened many doors to Spirit’s plan for me in the last few years. Your words each week resonate consistently as I learn to recognize self-imposed roadblocks to realizing that plan, and I am so grateful for your echo in my ear. Namaste

Colette,

I would love your insight on still taking inspired action. I have noticed lately that my aspirations do run away from me when I try too hard, like you say. But is there a point after surrendering that action or synchronicity just flows from us or to us? Do we take somewhat unrelated steps that eventually lead us to the essence of our desires? Gracias amor!

I wanted to be a hair stylist or something creative and “fabulous” when I was young. My mother almost had a stroke when I said I wanted to “do hair.” I come from a family that had to work really hard to have the opportunity to go to college. My dad worked on the docks and all manner of jobs to be able to attend college. They got their advanced degrees while working full-time during the day. They valued education above all else. It represented the ability to have job security to them. Having a profession was valued above all other career endeavors. Creative pursuits were not valued since they were seen as wishy-washy and without real renumeration and / or job security. Honestly, my mom could be a little elitist and felt hair styling was beneath me. So I went to law school, pretty much begrudgingly and avoided even working as an attorney when I came out of school. I worked for a corporation in HR. I got laid off, I got laid off again (and got married!) and then I got my first real law job working for a guy I went to law school with. I worked there for three years and got experience in lots of areas. It was an experience to say the least. I got laid off. I got a job at another firm and got practically clinically depressed I disliked it there so much. I got laid off….again. In between all these jobs I had a lovely baby boy. I wanted so much to be able to spend more time with him. Soon enough another beautiful baby came along and both my parents passed away. I *needed* a job with more flexibility that still brought in the income required to make ends meet in the Northeast USA. After I got laid off the last time I gathered up the courage to go out on my own and “hang my own shingle” as attorneys say. I’ve been “on my own” as a solo practitioner for the last almost 7 years. While I don’t always *love* it, it has been the best thing that ever happened to me. I never would have thought that going to law school and committing to practicing law would have worked out so well! I work from home and have the flexibility to pick up my children and attend school events with them. Spirit’s got my back!

We bought a dollar store in 2005 that I thought was my dream I love to shop. Had a whole store to shop for. The was 2000 sq ft. That was to small next year got to make the store 6000 sq ft. People loved the store. We had everything for weddings,birthday parties. But in 2008 my mom past away. I had no time to grieve. Shopping and laughing got harder. I was becoming bitter and angry.at that time I knew and believed in God. And that fall a buyer came out of the blue to buy the store we hadn’t even said we were selling. Halloween and Christmas times are your busiest time. So we forgot all about the buyer then in Feb he approached us again. My mom came in my dream and we were talking and she was going and I said mom when will I see you again and she said April 9. Long story short on April 9 we signed the sale but my heart or head wasn’t ready. And one day I saw the saying we all know about doors opening closing but the rest of the saying is you have to be willing to walk through the open door without looking back longingly on the closed door. It has taken me till last year to really step forward and not just play with my Spiritual path. Thank you for letting me get that out in the daylight.

Looking back over more than half a century.. i see that i started out as a hopeless romantic who always believed in magic and miracles.. but a very tough and pain filled life for at least 2/3s of that journey to now has also made me into a numb indifferent controlled and controlling being who is more reactive rather than proactive.. its only in these past few years that i have learnt to let go and let God..
I did not get here with graceful will.. i was beaten into resigned submission.. but now that i am here.. i feel stronger and more at peace than i have ever felt simply because now i have somehow come to love.. like.. and embrace self..
I almost never got what i desired and those i did get always came with strings attached or were spoilt in some way.. seeing the big picture is not one of my strengths.. so nowadays i will myself to hope for and expect alot less and somehow in a roundabout way im happier for it.. its an ongoing process.. some days its an easy 1 step forward and other days its such a struggling 8 steps back and probably will be to the end.. but now unlike before.. tho i still deplore my unstableness that leads to impulsive poor decision making.. i am happy and comfy with my self.. i love and as importantly like myself .. and that makes all the diff in the world.. ;_)

Letting go – key to so much. Happened to me before I even really delved into any spiritual practice and I ended up meeting my soul mate and taking my life in a whole new direction!! Most recently, I had desires to be on stage again and to work on stage with a dear friend. I auditioned for a play for a particular role and really wanted that role. I got a part but not the one I wanted. My friend got a part in the same play. Spirit, though, had listened and while I was a little disappointed I didn’t the role I wanted, I realized that I got the one I asked for. Had I gotten the part I auditioned for, I wouldn’t have had a single scene with my friend. Spirit does bring you your desires even if it doesn’t seem that way at first. Thanks for the beautiful weekly reminders Colette. I so look forward to them! XO

This was an awesome, thought-provoking post Colette. I have an example of a manifestation that just happened today. We have been car shopping for a couple weeks now. We knew the make and model clearly, and wanted it in a specific price range. All the cars advertised lately were several thousand more than we wanted to spend. We briefly thought about caving and spending the money, but decided to stick to our desired price. Last night I ended finding a car online that was a year newer and several thousand less than any other car we had seen. So cheap I could hardly believe it. The problem…it was a 2.5 hour drive away. The question that went through my mind was, “What are you willing to DO to get what you want?” So I reflect, in other areas of life where I ask and ask and ask and wonder am I willing to take the action needed to bring my ask to life? After a full day of travel, test driving and negotiating, we now have a new car in front of our house.

Dear Miss C, that was such a good read and you are a very good writer I love all that you share. Your incredibly full of wisdom, intelligence and border-line genius! I get a feeling your brain is similar to your fathers and I know he was deeply intelligent and you both seem to share the scientific side of the brain. But, how interesting that you both also have a connection to a spiritual side which for most is unseen or felt and not an exact science. Ah but maybe it is for you b/c you can hear, see and feel what others cannot so that is proof yes?? I could sit and talk to you all day picking at your little brain it would be most delightful. So, yes what you wrote is interesting and then to finish it off with Spirit has a plan. That is going to be my mantra when walking little doggie. It helps one to relax into the moment and know that all is well. I should know that Spirit has a plan they keep telling me what it is when I sit down to write and they show up…….and say to me yeah sure Barbara go ahead and do that if you think that’s what you need to do, but you will be doing this in time. I’ve heard it over and over what their little plan is for moi. Me, of course is going what?? I will be doing that are you sure?? I think they are laughing! Yes in time Barbara. In the meantime relax, enjoy yourself your moving in the right direction…..meditate, have some fun you’ve worked hard time to let go…..and actually since I made a big change I am feeling incredibly well and now I think I am in that place of knowing and feeling, as they have said. For the first time I feel quite connected to Source and do not despair. I think it’s the flowers! I have made things happen that was my intention, maybe not always as quick as one would like it but when I go back and read my journal I go hey I’ve done that oh look I’m here now. And some things I wanted didn’t show up, and later thought Omg I am so glad I didn’t get that!! But at the time you sure were wanting it….and it’s what suppose to happen. ha ha nope!
You sharing your own experiences and knowledge is really benefiting many others. Because we are here in this together wanting some of the same things, have had some of the same experiences at different times but similar and it’s wonderful to know this and not be so hard on ourselves. Taking those not so good experiences and using them as a learning tool, not holding onto them as wounds. Letting go and helping others. We spend a lot of time holding on to things that aren’t serving us. I see it all the time. Always a pleasure and delight! Blessings and thank you……I see you are wrapped in a blanket of feathers…..xo Queenie
