Your personal Creator-based® Course


 Hope is a motivator to action. But what kind of hope will get someone off the couch and moving again?


I’ve come across four different types of hope so far in my life. Maybe you have experienced others. If you have, please share, I’d love to hear them!


For me, the first kind of hope is having a clear understanding of my current circumstances while believing in the possibility of good things to come. That’s my ‘go-to.’ It is founded on positive life outcomes and faith. It’s a broad brush, and it feels good fast, motivating me to move. I believe that tomorrow will be better than today.


Then, there’s magical hope. (It needs to be pink and have unicorns.) I have a great imagination, and this one is the most vivid for me. It’s the belief that I’ll pass that exam even though I didn’t study, simply because I believe I will. This is also the hope that comes with being super hyped up and excited about a new group product I’m selling and the expectation of being incredibly rich with very little effort. All that group enthusiasm is contagious, even if it is a bit unfounded for me. Magical and group hope are exciting but have not ended well for me. Magical hope can also prompt you to seek and expect miracles, and that's fabulous!


Finally, there is transcendent, chosen hope.


Chosen hope is my practice lately. Chosen hope is the patient belief that no matter what the present looks like, things are working out for my highest and greatest good. It’s more generalized than passionate goals for making quick money in sales or passing that exam.  


Chosen hope helps me manage discouragement and reminds me that, collectively, my future is bright. It is “I believe in a bright future despite the present challenge.” That’s my favorite kind of hope. It transcends the malady of the day and knows that I am the creator of my experience, empowered with light and truth and everything I need to succeed in my life purpose. That’s the hope I choose.


However, magical hope feels pretty good too. Easy money and passing without studying has its draw, too, ya know?


Actionable hope, chosen and transcending my present circumstance, speaks peace to my soul and propels me forward.


What does your hope look like?

Creator-based® Consiousness

  Monday Morning Inspiration June 2024 |  EDITION NO. 00230 This made me giggle- we have so many choices and options that sometimes I forget that behaving “becomingly” is an option…. I hope you become what you want to be today. Do you sometimes feel like a 'woman without"? You may be familiar with the Bible story told of a poor widow bringing her offering to the temple.  It was such a small amount, a mite. It was not even enough to buy her bread and cheese for a single meal.  Would it really make any difference? Yet she was commended because “She of her want cast in all she hath.” Her society had defined her as a ‘woman without.’  She was a woman without a husband, a woman without means, a woman without a fancy house, but was she truly a woman without anything?    Do you sometimes define yourself as a ‘woman without’?   'Women without' = women without a job, women without children, women without the coolest phone, women without a great friend gro...

Creator-based® Coaching is born!

  Monday Morning Inspiration April 22 2024 |  EDITION NO. 00229 Hey friend, Let’s talk  Creation .  Paul taught the Philippians, “I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.”  That’s a bold declaration of the faith that Paul had in his omnipotent Creator.  Faith is the power that creates and moves  all things.  Now, don’t abandon ship here- this is not a Sunday School lesson.  Faith is what you used to turn on your lights this morning, remember?  Faith is what you used to start your car too.  You believed the light would turn on if you flicked the switch you wouldn’t have taken the action to do it.  I know you have faith. You’ve got this.     Let’s go back to the first step of that formula for creating your one, amazing life.  If you could feel something you really wanted to feel, what would that feeling be? I wanted to feel happy.  I thought I had put together my one, perfect, happy life....
