I love you.  I am sorry.  Please forgive me.  Thank you.

I am incredibly grateful and happy to be living on purpose, joyfully and with ease. I am deeply appreciated and loved.  Every day something wonderful happens.

By showing up and playing full out in my extraordinary life of service and passion filled fun adventures; I create a movement.  I inspire dream vacations of a lifetime with my family, friends, soul sisters and with women holding hands around the world.  I walk where women have walked before me; I am a leader in this community; I truly make a difference.  HerWayTravel is respected and shared globally. The best for women is the best for all.

I am blown away by my financial abundance having attracted a rapidly growing network of capable, committed, creative, visionary and super successful business partners who share Blue Diamond affluence, vibrant health and vitality, and global purpose through relationship in Univera.

Contributing in a meaningful way to world peace, I consciously practice caring communication including mindfulness, generosity, loving-kindness, visualization, journaling and Ho’oponopono.

Embracing change, I take profound focused action each day in the direction of my dreams by celebrating my insights, breaking through to my authenticity and standing strong and bold in my confidence and brilliant self image.

I greet each moment with open curiosity, courage, compassion, optimism, enthusiasm, excitement and expectancy.

I am living my dream by connecting to yours: world travel, financial ease, vital energy and deepening relationships.

I love you.  I am sorry.  Please forgive me.  Thank you.

1. VISION: Dream big, set goals and take steps every day in the direction of your dreams.  Plan your success and when off course, re-focus and get back on track.  Make your dreams visual and exciting.  See, feel, hear, taste and touch your dreams, as if you are already living that life.  Strong emotion is included in your vision in order for it to be powerful.  Look at where you are going every day.  Don’t quit.
2. CONSCIOUSNESS: meditation, listen to inspiration, gratitude practice, journal, blog, read.  Be present to your life.  Eat and do routine tasks in a mindful way.  Notice your world.
3. GROWTH:  Be inspired, hang out with people who are doing what you admire, read books, attend seminars and workshops, invest in personal development, try something new.
4. MAKE DECISIONS:  I read this recently, if it is not “HELL YES!” then it is “NO”:  Make decisions and stick with it.  Don’t quit.  Don’t worry about what other people think. 
5. BE HEALTHY:  Commit to consuming healthy products and foods, drink more water, take supplements that work (www.PamelaMacDonald.myunivera.com).  Eat veggies, lots of them.  Check out what is current in science.  Stay away from sugars, starches and unhealthy fats as much as possible.  Lean proteins, healthy omega fats daily.  Exercise daily, including walking.  Eat less food, drink more water (it is worth repeating!).
6. ATTITUDE:  Practice happiness, gratitude, kindness, smiling, generosity, forgiveness and self love every day, everywhere and with everyone!  Explore and find your inner gifts and let go of old negative messages you carry around.  Develop a spiritual practice and feel as one with all humanity.  Develop a strong positive self image and see how the world changes in your eyes.
7. FAMILY and FRIENDS:  If you had 30 days to live, who would you spend it with?  Make them a priority.  Honor and show up for special events.  Be the one who brings people together.  Enjoy.
8. TRAVEL:  See the world.  Walk where people have changed the world before you.  Learn about other cultures, without judgment.  See the beauty of other people and places.  Learn other languages.  Be a global citizen.  Join me with “WomenHoldingHandsAroundTheWorld”.  Check out my website:  www.PamelaMacDonald.cruiseshipcenters.com
9. SPIRITUAL PRACTICE:  Believe and have faith. 
10. TIME:  No one has more time than you do, every day.  How do you spend it?  Select wise time management strategies to get it all done.  Get up earlier in the morning and spend time on personal development.  I read it takes 10,000 hours to develop a skill, truly.    What are you investing your time doing?  “If you keep doing what you have always done, you will keep getting what you have always got.”

VISION:  compelling, words, pictures, thoughts, feelings for your future.  Who do you want to be and what do you want to be doing?  With whom?  How does it feel to be there?  (think of athlete preparing for Olympics)  EVERYTHING starts with a fantasy or dream ….  What is yours?  You can keep building.

GOALS:  Simple, measurable, achievable, time limited.  Use numbers, have from 3 to 5 in total.  All fit in with your vision.  If you can’t think of a number, then try using a range from 1-10, measure now and where you want to be in what time period.  You can use amount of money you wish to have, number of countries you want to visit, number of weeks in foreign country, how many friends you want to travel with, number of $ invested, date you want to retire and with what income, etc.

ACTIVITIES or STRATEGIES: you will use to reach each goal.  No more than 2 or 3 strategies for each goal.  Multiple streams of income, start a home based business, invest in real estate market, consult a financial planner, investigate network marketing companies, research travel opportunities, start a meetup group to exchange ideas with others and expand social network, etc.  Consider efficiency, several goals can have the same activity!

MASTERMIND:  Who you hang out with determines to a large part how you see yourself and how supported you are to reach your highest and best.  Select wisely, identify, invite and consult with 5 or more key successful people (alive or not) that you want to live life like.  Write them down, what are the key features of each, what do you want to learn from them.  Do what you need to do based on their advice.

TAKE ACTION:  Daily reminders to take action steps, start with very small steps always toward the goal and in alignment with the vision.  20 seconds of Courage, 10,000 hours to be competent at a new skill (play piano, skilled in a sport, writing, painting, course of study, etc)

EVALUATION and REFOCUS:  When and how often to review the vision, goals and strategies.  Ask yourself “Is this working?” “How do I know if this is effective?”, if not effective toward your goals, then let it go.  “What else can I do that will lead me to the desired end?”.  Ask others to assist by stating 5 words that describe you.  Consider not only how you are seeing yourself and also how others (MM) view you.  Always check your numbers.  Never quit.  Refocus and align.  Do not try to head in different directions at the same time.  Create a visual map, mark your progress and celebrate successes! ReAlign!

DREAM  TRAVEL  TIPS

1. Pick up magazines that are laying around.  Travel agencies often don’t mind if you take some home.  Get together with friends.  Share and help each other find those special pictures.  Talk about stories from travels past and future dreams.  Cut and paste.  Create a DREAM TRAVEL BOARD.  Cover a book, use construction paper, use an old picture frame.  You don’t need to spend any money to make the most magnificent TRAVEL  DREAM  BOARD.
2. Read books, look at magazines in the Doctors office or hair salon, search online, read travel blogs.  Go to library and book stores to browse what costs you nothing.  Virtual shopping, checking out Pinterest and Lonely Planet just looking at places that attract you.
3. See yourself there.  Don’t be attached to when or with whom.  Be open to opportunities.  Visualize.

My breath catches, my eyes smile as the little noise rises from my iphone and a message from my daughter on Mothers Day, “facetime?”.  YES yes yes!  Not too long ago I would not have known what that meant.  Today it means face to face with my two grandsons and their beautiful mom.  A special Mothers Day moment to be cherished for a lifetime.  We won’t capture this moment ever again. I rush home, and prepare.  Skype is a blessing of free communication and face to face talk with the family.  Luke can see me and once realizes we are chatting says “Grammie, come.”  He is wanting me to be where he is.  The tears of joy well up in my eyes even as I write this.  And in that moment my heart was even bigger than it had been a moment before.  Painful sensation in my chest, tingling and then love pours from me through my home computer to the little boy who seeks the real essence of our relationship through the computer screen.  I remind him of the times we had together recently, “remember the goats?”.  His eyes roll a bit to the right as he accesses a file folder in his brain and bring forth a memory of not so long ago … a little over a month must be a long time in a 2 year year olds mind.  He finds what he seeks and says “GOATS”.  We talk of hot tubs and back hoes and other reminders of our last days together in person.  Later in the chat, when it is time to go, he kisses the ipad at their end …. Saying good bye to grammie. A while later they call me on the phone.  The second best way to say “I love you” on Mothers Day.  I speak to Luke.  I tell him in our private language “bucket of kisses from grammie” and I know he is listening and leaning in to the phone by the way he breathes.  He can hear me.  He can feel my heart and he is back in that moment when we were together.  And then, I sing the song I sang when we were together, La la la  la and I hear his little voice resonate with mine in the same frequency.  Our language of love.
