My Personal Whirlwind - Inspired by Oprah

Hey Everyone,

So you have all probably seen my tweets, seen my Facebook Statuses, or heard through word of mouth that a whole lotta of good is happening to me these days!

In October I am going to Los Angeles to see O YOU. Thanks to an OWN Ambassador dreaming big, a small group of us have been invited to Lunch With Oprah.

Wow where do I begin...

Approximately a month ago, I was on Twitter and I noticed an exchange between one of Oprah's staff members and a friend of mine regarding the OWN Ambassadors group. Well right away I got curious, and started asking my friend a few questions, and then next thing I knew I was being added to the OWN Ambassadors group by one of Oprah's staff. OWN Ambassadors are the Ultimate Viewers of OWNTV and OWNCanada. Together we grow the OWN Network through participation and viewership. 

Since joining the OWN Ambassadors group, everything has changed, it has been the light that I've needed for a long time. I am surrounded by like minded people, who I have been building friendships with. It is such an dynamic group, and I am so proud to be a part of it. For so long I have been shot down and laughed at for my dreams, and visions. I never waivered from what I wanted, and I truly believe the gifts that are being given to me are because I have not given up. I've had every possible door shut in my face, but I refuse to stop. When you are so passionate about something you don't quite, if you truly want to live your life on purpose, you have to follow your heart and just do it!

Throughout my life I always wanted to be in a role to service people, but being employed in the Logistics Industry for 25 years I felt my "gifts" were not being utilized, and I was not personally fulfilled. This past month I've been visualizing , which in turn has manifested into some really good things. "The Law of Attraction simply says that you attract into your life whatever you think about. Your dominant thoughts will find a way to manifest". 

After being off from surgery for 2 months I was to return to work July 3rd, 2012. During my leave from work, I started changing my thoughts. While I was off, my branch closed down. Initially I was like okay now what, do they place me somewhere else, work at a job I dislike. My wheels were turning, and then I seen a guest on Oprah's Super Soul Sunday say "If you are in a job you don't like you die a little bit everyday. You die before you die". Well that statement really resonated with me. The people I worked with were great, and the company was top 3 in the business, it wasn't them it was me. I knew there had to be an alternative.

While I was off I worked an endless amount of hours on my Coaching Business, and started thinking to myself, I have put so much effort into my own business ideas, how can I go back and work for someone else, and after 25 years in the Logistics industry I felt done. So I made a request and remained hopeful it would work out to benefit me, and it did! So I feel rewarded, I left on great terms, and got what I wanted. I have a few plans in place, and will start executing them when the time is right.

Currently I am working in partnership with my childhood friend Jody on workshops, retreats, and business ideas that will empower individuals. I am so excited to be venturing into business with her, she brings solid ideas, and is such a creative soul. We have a whole lotta of fun, and after 40 years of friendship we know how each other thinks. In the next few months we will be bring our ideas and workshops to you, watch for updates.

Along with all this great news, I've had a few people approach me with their business ideas, and asked if I would like to work in partnership with them, so I am pondering a few ideas. Good things are happening because I visualized it every day!

In closing I want to tell you to DREAM BIG, and go for what you want do not waiver, and just do it!

Thanks for reading...

Much Love,

Shelley


P.S. Always remember...what you put out, is what you will get back.
