We just got back from the Hay House ” I CAN DO IT!” At Sea Cruise!

It was like floating on a cloud in Heaven for one week. It was amazing, the energy was palpable from the moment we stepped on board. Doreen Virtue was there and she brought the angels to the party!

Imagine… 1900 of the coolest, most conscious people on the planet, all together with the same intention of ” I Can Do It!”.  Whatever “It” was for each of us individually, we were affirming hope, personal power and growth.  There was also the celebration of the bigger “It”, of our awakening, our conscious community, and the earth.  It was a true joy to be around so many positive and uplifting people.

Here are my top 3 “I Can Do Its”, and if I can do it, so can you!

1. I can write a book.  I learned from Wayne Dyer and Cheryl Richardson that writing is a passion and a process. No matter what self-doubts pop up about “who am I to _____” or “I’d be crazy to _____”, I will patiently stop and thank the mind / belief system for trying to protect me, and keep letting the passion flow. All I need to do is sit down, pray, and write what comes through me. Writing isn’t about perfectionism ( I am a recovering-perfectionist). That’s why God created Editors, hooray! They get to do what they’re best at, and I will focus on what I’m best at.

2. I can make a difference without being published by giant publisher. Reid Tracy, the CEO of Hay House emphasized the reality facing authors and speakers today: you need to market your own book and manage your own professional speaking career.  Christine and I can both get caught up in what we call, “waiting for Oprah to call”.  This is creating content (book, training course, website), then stopping and waiting for someone else to walk up and hand you an audience. The lesson is to keep building your platform (your connection and relationship with your audience). This requires personal initiative, tenacity and of course, Grace.  Now when those thoughts pop-up in my head I remember that no one would publish Louise Hay’s first book You Can Heal Your Life, so she created Hay House at age (I believe) 61 and self-published it herself in the early 80′s.  That book has healed and transformed millions of lives, including helping me heal my own eyesight back to 20/20 and throw out my glasses 6 years ago.  Wayne Dyer also started out self-publishing and bought up the first three runs of his book, then drove city to city to city to city to city, giving talks and eventually appearing on Public Television.

3. I can instantly be myself with people.  Having the entire Cruise ship chartered for Hay House made this a holistic community.  It was easy to walk up to a table with people eating and ask to join them. Mentally, I knew these were all “woo-woo spiritual folks” just like me. That allowed me to let down my guard easily and enter into a deep and meaningful dialogue right away. We also delighted in chatting about where we lived, and what type of fruity cocktails we had on the beach that day. I realized, hey this is pretty easy, and I can slide into this more often.  Of course, just like in any other conversation, I needed to self-facilitate and share from my heart, when the opportunity was appropriate and there was a willingness to hear.

There is great value in being on a residential retreat with people for several days. Bonds form and new friendships blossom.

Feel free to make these “I can do its!” into your own “I can do its!”

Shine On!
