Effortlessness

In an easy and relaxed manner
In a healthy and positive way
I intend that I live a life of inward and outward joy, peace and clarity.
In its own perfect time
For the highest good of all.

Anything that You Can Imagine

you are a Creator, you create with your every thought.

Anything That You Can Imagine is Yours to Be or Do or Have.





what do you want to do, to have, to BE
can you please describe it all to me?

feel it- feel it like it's REAL
then tell me please, how does it feel?

that's how we get to the place of our dreams
where we're driving that car, flying that plane
anything that you can imagine

would you move far away, or just across town?
hit the road, burn some rubber, and never slow down?
travel the world, write your own songs?
imagine it, feel it and it won't be long...

the stronger the feeling the quicker it's here
it's right behind the curtain, waiting for you to let go of the fear
my friend

Great Big Dreams E-Intention

From Christine's email...

What does it mean to get clear?


· To get clear means you know who you are and why you do what you do.

· To get clear means you hold your center and your vision even if things in the external world aren't yet where you want them to be.

· To get clear means you unflinchingly say "no" to things that don't align with who you are.

· To get clear means you know you are choosing your life at every moment.

· To get clear means you're not afraid to apologize if you mess up, but you never apologize for who you are.

Why is it so important to get clear?


"But Christine, aren't you being a little uptight here? Do I have to spend every moment asking myself why I'm doing something? This seems like it takes so much energy!"

It only seems like it takes energy to live like this if you're spending too much of your precious energy on non-items, and distractions, and things you don't really want. This is the default position of 90% of the population. (It's also why advertising works!)

When energy is consistently flowing out of you to things that don't really matter, or to things that distract you - then you have to play tricks in order to "get by" or "get away with" things. You have to "get more" things to keep your energy up.

All of this takes the very life-force you need in order to create your dreams. And life becomes more about the management of your dishonor, your distractedness, and your dis-ease -- rather than being about the creation of your clear path.

In other words: When you are distracted, you try to "get" things. When you are clear, you allow things.

This is why Caroline Myss says, "One clear (powerful) prayer beats a confused Cathedral any day."

So it's time to "GET CLEAR"...and that frightens me. I'm good at waffling when it comes to goals or dreams. If I don't get clear than I can't fail...but I also can't succeed. I'm not sure how I want to approach this. There are many areas of my life that I'm trying to balance (I'm sure it's like that for everyone, right?) so I'm going to list them and see what feels right next.


Music- playing piano, learning guitar (2009), writing music, performing music

EcoTeeBags.com- bag production, marketing and sales

My environment- I want to get closer to clutter-free, be free to live creatively without clutter hindering me

My parenting- I want to bring joy and live joy with my boys. Live in the moment and give them my focused time


okay...so what now? My intent for this home study is to continue what I started at my retreat. I remember that when I was asked my intent for the retreat, I said that I needed space to think and create myself without the burden of all the roles I embody in "real life". So by extension, now that I'm back in those roles I need to maintain some space for myself to think and create. I need to create a "role" for myself that embodies what I want to be...my clear self :) I want to bring joy to all areas of my life and cut back on the activities that I do out of habit or guilt that don't align with that joy.


hmmmmmm....is that clear? :)

the amazing power of deliberate intent
deliberate intent...energy flows where your thoughts go
smile, it brings happiness
laugh, it brings joy
jump up and down, it helps the energy flow
act like a kid...cause we can always be kids if we don't make it stop

sunshine lights up the sky
don't make the clouds appear
and if they do, look for that silver lining
choose love instead of fear

always choose love
ever expanding
sometimes demanding

always choose love
fear retreats
admits defeat

always choose love
always choose love


there are choices in this life
every day a set of options
there's a way you can choose joy
choose love, always choose love

when you take that little step
to look to the light from the darkness
it all makes a shift
so choose love, always choose love

live with your heart and soul exposed
lead with your heart on your sleeve
dream when you're wide, wide awake
see it all so clearly

there's always a way
and you can let it come easy
love will stay
if you just choose love
always choose love

create your own reality
you know that it's your destiny
if you set your heart to it
I know you can do it

always choose love

there are only two options
it comes down to this
fear or love
and I choose love
always choose love

starting up...

here's where I'll do my daily journaling/song writing "ink vomit". It's my alternative to pen and paper, which makes my hand cramp!! I made the commitment to myself at the Great Big Dreams retreat to write for 15 minutes a day...and I know it will be the thing that opens my mind and lets the music flow :)
