Have you ever been such a big procrastinator that every time you talk about your future plans you say, “Oh, someday I’ll do that”? If so, you have a case of the “somedays.” I relate to your pain. I’ve been there…
I’ve put off things for years. I’ve put so many things on the back burner that I have no idea what the front burner is!
Well, not any more…
I made a decision recently to stop having the somedays and to take action when it comes to my dreams. Yes, I’ve made intentions like this in the past without action ensuing. But, this time around, I realized that I need to be serious. So, no more procrastination.
I’ve noticed that these things help me in moving forward:
1) Take one small step each day at a minimum. Chances are, you’ll do more than that each day. But, if you take at least one step each day, you’re guaranteeing your success since small steps add up to big ones at the end of the year.
2) Celebrate your accomplishments. Even if you just buy yourself a coffee or take time to listen to a meditation CD, you are celebrating and honoring yourself. Celebration gives you something to look forward to with each accomplishment, even if they are “small” ones.
3) Only talk to supportive people who will hold you accountable. If you talk to people who allow you to procrastinate, you’re setting yourself up to not succeed. For me, true friends push you to take action and move forward. Surround yourself with people who support you and your dreams.
4) Relax and chill out from time to time. Sometimes, you truly need a break. I discovered this recently when I fell asleep on the couch without realizing it. I was that tired. I just conked out on the couch. I felt better and more inspired once I woke up rested and refreshed.
5) Take the word “someday” out of your vocabulary. The words you speak have energy. They become your reality. If you don’t allow yourself to say “someday,” you will become more in the present, and this will make you more focused on your goals. It’s not always easy to be in the present, but you can get there eventually–with practice. It just takes practice. Try it and see. See what it’s like to eliminate the word “someday” out of your vocabulary.
These may sound obvious, but I just felt guided to share this part of my journey with you. Let me know what you think. What has worked for you when it comes to eliminating and curing yourself of the “somedays”? Share here with us…
By the way, if you’re feeling like you need an extra loving push to get going, contact me for a psychic reading. I’m here to be of service and help you to move past blocks and towards reaching your goals that are a part of your unique life purpose and vision for yourself…
Blessings and love,

Hi there! Remember me? I have been absent for a while from my blog. I know that by writing this post, I’m breaking several blogging rules. One of these rules is to not blog about why you’ve been absent. Also, another rule is about writing about things that are evergreen (things that stay topical forever). Well, if you know me well, you know that I’m about breaking the rules. Plus, I’m way too heart-centered to not care about my readers. This requires me to be honest. I am pretty honest about my life. But, to be completely honest, I don’t share everything publicly here that is going on in my life.
However, I feel guided to write about why I’ve been absent for a while. I just wasn’t inspired. I didn’t want to come write here unless I was inspired. This is the biggest mistake to make as a writer or really any kind of artist. It’s far better to write and then, become inspired as a result of your writing. This is what I tell a lot of my clients who do any type of artwork or things involving the creative process. I didn’t follow my own advice. I was waiting to be inspired when clearly, if I had just shown up at the page, things would have flowed.
I’ve needed time to regroup and recharge. The stressful challenges I’ve manifested since the end of 2008 have taken their toll on me on many levels. I’m working to see it as a time to practice what I’ve learned while on the spiritual path. It’s time to apply the wisdom and to also, walk my talk. It’s not always been easy. The path is not always filled with roses, but hey, I never expected the path to be worn in my travels. I’ve always been more about carving my own path.
At the end of 2009, I wasn’t guided to write the Daily Oracle Card part of this blog any longer. This was the meat and potatoes so to speak of my blog for a while. I’m really guided to take this blog into a new direction. I feel like it will be a more honest, authentic, and personal direction. I’m open to suggestion too as to what would help you. My intention has always been to be of service in writing this blog. So, hey, give me some feedback. I’d totally appreciate it.
I had a flare up of my ulcer, but it’s healing. I’ve been feeling more myself. I returned to my aerobic winter training (indoor cycling) this winter. It’s a great mood lifter and energizer. I do not race my bicycle any longer, but I realized the training effect has many benefits for me in the winter time. I also look forward to running once the weather warms up. I have a goal of running a half marathon in the next year and a half 
So, what about you? What’s new with you? How is your 2010 going so far? I’ve missed you guys and writing here. Thanks for your patience as I was absent. Even though I didn’t post much recently, I still sent love to all of my readers here from a distance.
Thanks and love,
Lisa

 (Bye-Bye to the Daily Oracle Card...) Hi readers,
You might have noticed that I’ve not been posting here as of late. After a lot of thought, I’ve decided to discontinue my Daily Oracle Card feature on this blog.
My intention in doing this on my blog was to be of service to others. I myself was going through a rough patch in my life too. One way to get past difficult times is to be of service to others. That was my intention.
I love inspiring others, but truthfully, I wrote the Daily Oracle Card for me as much as I wrote it for you. I really needed some inspiration and healing in my own life. I’m not only a spiritual teacher, but also, a student.
If you would like to receive a Daily Oracle Card, please go to this link: http://www.youtube.com/4AngelTherapy Doreen Virtue who I have taken courses with will be drawing an oracle card for people every day on her YouTube channel. It’s free and you can subscribe easily.
In writing the Daily Oracle Card feature I also wanted to share my love of Doreen Virtue’s oracle card decks with you. They have been like friends to me during my path and process of the past 10 years or so. I have a lot of gratitude for being able to take classes with Doreen such as her ANGEL THERAPY PRACTITIONER® course in 2005, her mediumship mentorship class in 2006, and her advanced class in 2008.
Because Doreen has always encouraged her students and fans to be authentic, I’m going to follow this guidance for myself. I’m feeling guided to write more authentically and from my heart in more traditional blog posts type of format.
That was my original intention when I started this blog, but so many people enjoyed the Daily Oracle Card that I placed my focus there mainly for so long.
I also have been guided to start standing on my own two feet as a spiritual teacher. I do not always have to defer to experts or the well-known teachers. Being human living on planet earth qualifies me enough to teach others.
To be honest, I’m considering a new web presence, including a new blogsite that reflects my true self more. I’m sorta done with the fluffy, New Age world. I’m ready to step into my real shoes for once. (Just a hint…they’re more likely to be Doc Martens than Birkenstocks.)
I’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their readership, love, and support. Thank you for allowing me to come to you each day with my thoughts.
I pray that I was able to help you in some small way. I also affirm only the best for you–’cause you rock! You are so loved by the angels and Universe.
I’ll be back shortly to this blog. I just wanted to write you a brief note about this new change to my blog.
Thank you and many blessings of love,
Bear hugs,
Lisa Selow

 (Trust your feelings! Photo credit: extra medium, Flickr, Creative Commons License) Today, I drew you the card Honor and Trust Your Feelings from Doreen Virtue’s Archangel Michael Oracle Cards. This card reads: “Thank you, Archangel Michael, for supporting, guiding, and protecting me as I listen to and act upon my feelings. Help me understand and express my emotions with love.”
The angels really do listen to us! Usually, it’s our feelings and emotions that speak to us the loudest, trying to get our attention about life changes that need to be made. Ask the angels to ease your pain or suffering. Ask them to guide you towards the path that leads to the most love.
Bear hugs,
Lisa

 (Give your worries to the divine! Photo credit: distorted smile, Flickr, Creative Commons License) Today, I drew you the card This Situation is Already Resolved from Doreen Virtue’s Archangel Michael Oracle Cards. This card reads: “I give any worries, cares, and concerns to you in exchange for true peace in all ways. Thank you for resolving this [give details of the situation] in a Divinely perfect way.”
I think I’ve said a similar prayer many times this past year :) It does work. I’ve had many experiences of stress and worries. I’ve always invited the increased inner peace that comes from prayer. Thank goodness for the divine helping me along!
What about you? How do you pray when you need help?
Bear hugs,
Lisa

 (God walks with you! Photo Credit: jjjohns photostream, Flickr, Creative Commons License) Today, I drew you the card God is in Charge from Doreen Virtue’s Archangel Michael Oracle Cards. This card reads: “Dear God, please help me let go of this situation, giving it in faith and trust to your Divine wisdom and infinite love in order to resolve and heal everything and everyone involved.”
Sometimes when you do everything on a human level to accomplish something, things won’t move forward. You’ll feel stuck. This is when it’s time to let God drive for a little bit. Surrendering doesn’t mean that you have given up. It just means that you’re open to new possibilities and ways of living. You’re open to miracles!
Enjoy the miracles that are coming your way!
Bear hugs,
Lisa

 (You have a world of options! Photo Credit: zyber, Flickr, Creative Commons License) Merry Christmas! :) Hope that you have a day filled with much love and abundance!
Today, I drew you the card Explore Your Options from Doreen Virtue’s Archangel Michael Oracle Cards. This card reads: “Dear God, thank you for your wisdom and love, helping me see, understand, and assess all of my alternative options. Please guide me in the best direction for my health, happiness, and life’s purpose.”
There are so many options that one can explore. I often get dizzy at the options, but I’m grateful for having so many. Not everyone in the world has as many options. I pray for all people to have options for their life in the most loving ways that are best for them. Sending love to all experiencing transition at this time…
Enjoy the day!
Bear hugs,
Lisa

 (Keep on going! Photo Credit: Ivan Makarov, Flickr, Creative Commons License) Today, I drew you the card You’re On The Right Path from Doreen Virtue’s Archangel Michael Oracle Cards. This card reads: “Archangel Michael, I call upon you now. Thank you for giving me loud and clear guidance that I easily understand. Thank you for motivating me and filling me with the courage and confidence to make healthful life changes.”
It’s always a relief for me to know that I’m on the right path. It helps me to continue forward, instead looking back at the past for my mistakes. I also focus less on the future and more on the present or now. It helps me to feel more peaceful knowing that all is in divine order. Not always easy for me to belive this, but I’m working on it
Holiday blessings!
Bear hugs,
Lisa

 (New beginnings are on their way! Photo Credit: Ivan Makarov, Flickr, Creative Commons License) Today, I drew you the card New Beginnings and a Fresh Start from Doreen Virtue’s Archangel Michael Oracle Cards. This card reads: “Thank you for bringing new opportunities and offering support, and for helping me release and heal my past. Fill me with trust as I experience these life changes.”
As 2009 winds down, many are looking to the New Year for a fresh start. You can have new beginnings at any time, however. You are not limited to the calendar. But, 2010 feels really good, doesn’t it?
What are your goals for 2010?
Bear hugs,

This card reads: “Thank you for protecting my loved ones and me, ensuring that we’re safe and that all of our needs are met. I now accept your help gratefully and gracefully, knowing that it’s right for me and all others to accept heavenly assistance.”
You are safe and protected. All is well. Life is good. Yes, it’s that simple!
