We all know what it takes to break a habit, right? You just have to have the willpower to do it!
It takes willpower to quit smoking, lose weight, or get that Starbucks monkey off your back! If you don’t have the willpower, you’re told that you are “weak” or “weak-willed”. And you pray for the willpower to make something happen.
Well, what if, instead of trying to “will” yourself to do something good for you, you just had the desire to do it?
What if you just woke up one morning and said, “I am so excited to go to the gym!”? And you really felt excited to go work out? Or you just had NO DESIRE for another cigarette. Wow.
One of my friends quit smoking years ago, and after about 5 years, I asked her, “Do you ever want a cigarette?” She said, “Every day.”
By using willpower, she didn’t smoke, but she still WANTED to smoke.
I myself am a former smoker. Yes, it’s true. And you know there is nothing more sanctimonious than an ex-smoker! I actually quit 5 times before it took. And the reason? I quit because I had the DESIRE. The first 4 times, I only used willpower. And I eventually failed.
You see, when you feel the desire to do something, there is no need for willpower. You don’t have to think about it. You just do what you have the desire to do. You don’t have to will yourself to go to the gym or not to smoke. You don’t have to make yourself go to a job you hate or not to go to Starbucks. (I admit I’m a Starbucks junkie with no DESIRE to quit!)
So where do you get this fabulous thing called desire? Ask.
That’s it. You just ask for it. And you tell Mr. Will Power good-bye, because you don’t need him anymore. Miss Dee Zire has taken over and she feels good!

I often find myself teaching clients about giving and receiving.
Many people are caught up in guilt and a lack of divine value, and they (we) have been taught that it is better to give than to receive. This leads to an experience of lack in many, if not all, areas of one’s life.
That’s why I teach that it is equal to give as to receive, and you can’t have one without the other. This then leads me to instruct my clients to practice giving to and receiving from themselves, accomplishing four things:
- Show the Universe that you are ready to receive, so that other receiving opportunities will start showing up in your experience.
- Get accustomed to receiving.
- Develop your sense of divine value.
- Learn that giving and receiving are equal.
How do you give to yourself?
- Start small–give a compliment to yourself in the mirror and accept it with thanks, grace, and no excuses.
- Think of a chore as something that you give to yourself because you are worthy. For example, think, “I’m washing these clothes, because I am special enough to have clean and presentable clothes to wear.”
- Make a special meal just for yourself, and enjoy it without television or other distractions. Focus on the food and the gift you have prepared for yourself.
- Give gifts to yourself, such as new shoes, a massage, a facial, a book, or a concert. Include another if you like, and thank yourself profusely, honoring the gift and the receipt.
Try this for yourself, and feel free to share it with your friends too. I am all for everyone becoming good receivers!

Can you believe it is already 2012? I have some thoughts on the New Year–and the old one.
First, though, I loved the holidays, just as I always do every year, and I hope yours were at least pleasant or even extraordinary! For me personally, besides marrying off my older daughter and enjoying the rest of my family for Christmas, while she and her new husband were off on their honeymoon, I had a couple of big stresses.
The worst one was getting a computer virus right before Christmas. As I write this, it is still not completely back together. The computer is working great, but all my data have yet to be restored. I have faith that they will be (i.e., I EXPECT it–expectation = faith = manifestation), so I’m not really all that jumpy about it. In fact, the whole situation has shown me that I am generally pretty relaxed and easy-going. My sister even said that about me at Christmas. She was telling me how anxious she gets over things and I started singing that Bobby McFerrin song, “Don’t worry… Be happy.” She said, “That’s what you do! I wish I could do that!” And I hope that I can help impart that to others. From my lips to God’s ears!
Anyway, here’s my thought about 2011. You may recall my whining about 2010 here, even though I was spinning it all in a positive direction. It was a pretty bad year; in fact, I still hold that it was the worst year of my life, and that includes the year my husband died! (How? Because his death was not the WHOLE YEAR.) So there was almost no way that 2011 could be any worse, and it was bound to be better. And it was! Thank goodness!
However… Here’s a story that helps illustrate how 2011 was better but still not what I wanted. Several years ago, a friend’s wife was diagnosed with breast cancer. It was one of the most curable versions of the disease and her treatment was relatively easy. RELATIVELY. That means, compared with many patients, she got off easy. Later, my friend said, “We were so busy being grateful that it wasn’t worse, we forgot it was still horrible!”
And that’s kind of how I feel about 2011. No, it wasn’t horrible. It was MUCH MUCH better than 2010, which is all I could hope for last year! But I want 2012 to be so wonderful that it makes me forget 2010 altogether! Want to join me? Let’s start expecting now!

I just noticed something – a few weeks ago, I’m not sure when exactly, I stopped dreaming. And I don’t mean the dreams I have at night while I’m asleep. Those actually increased when I stopped dreaming during my waking time.
I’ve always had a pretty active fantasy life. And since I learned about the Law of Attraction a number of years ago, I have been even more intent on dreaming effectively.
What do I dream about? Oh, probably similar things to what you dream about: fun things to do, travel, a great marriage, happy friendships, and, of course, shopping. And maybe winning the “World’s Greatest Psychic” award.
But a few weeks ago, somewhere around Thanksgiving, I got distracted from dreaming and started being all–well, for lack of a better word, serious. There were many serious things I had to attend to, and I focused on them and not on my “silly fantasies.”
And do you know what happened? Nothing. I mean, nothing bad happened, but my life stopped moving forward. Things came to a standstill. Oh, sure, life went on, Thanksgiving was enjoyed, my daughter’s wedding was definitely wonderful, Christmas was a pretty good one, considering my daughter and her new husband were still on their honeymoon. But nothing new came along. In fact, things seemed to sort of–contract.
That’s it. Things contracted. They stopped expanding and growing and changing and morphing and creating. I stopped creating.
Fortunately, I discovered this problem after only a few weeks! I’ve started dreaming again, bigger than ever, and now the wheels are starting to turn forward again. I can feel it. And I can feel the world changing faster.
Have you stopped dreaming? How long has it been? Could that be the reason you’re not moving forward?
Next time you see that corny motivational poster that says, “Dare to dream”, do.

February–ah, the month of love! So I guess it’s appropriate for me to talk about loooove, isn’t it? Personally, I have not had a serious relationship in some time, and I am looking forward to finding my next one very soon. I think the Universe owes me, because I haven’t whined at all about not having a boyfriend! Okay, maybe a little bit. ;o)
But the point is that I don’t crave a relationship. And this is what I want to talk about. Just a little–don’t roll your eyes at me! Whether you are in a relationship or marriage right now or not, this is something that you need to know. And I have learned it over three marriages! Well, okay, the last one wasn’t a marriage, but I learned from it just the same.
I find this to be true for probably 80% to 90% of my clients, and it was true for me until a few years ago: Relationship problems–including the absence of a relationship–are always due to a lack of value for yourself. You have to value yourself, you have to get that knowing deep inside you that you are worthy of love, joy, and abundance.
It’s very common in our society to want to be in a relationship. And I believe that human beings are meant to be in loving pairs. But not having a relationship doesn’t make you less-than! And not being happy within one doesn’t either. It just means that you haven’t recognized your Divine Value yet. This will show up in a lot of ways that I don’t have the space to go into here, but suffice it to say that, if you will concentrate on loving yourself, valuing yourself, and believing in your worthiness, you will come out far better in the relationship game.
Blessings for love to you!

The difference between something manifesting the hard way and something manifesting the easy way is the difference between desperation and relaxation.
Read that again. I’ll wait.
I’ve figured this one out: Even though you don’t need to worry about “the accursed hows”, if you don’t relax when you’re manifesting, those “hows” can turn out pretty rotten.
You know how all the gurus and LOA teachers, myself included, say not to worry about “how”? Just put your order for what you want in to the Universe and leave the “how” up to it. Right? I even posted a channeled message about this very topic recently. In that message, the angels/guides said to “let the Universe be your engineer, and you concentrate on being the designer.”
Which all makes perfect sense!
BUT… You know I always have a big but…!
I have noticed that, when I am desperate for something to be born or created or made manifest, I am likely to get it in a very difficult or unpleasant way.
Case in point: my move back to my hometown a couple of years ago. I had always wanted to move home, since I moved away to Austin in 1983, but always had some really compelling reason why I had to stay in Austin. Finally, in 2010, I was kicked out of Austin and sent packing by the Universe. Circumstances arose that forced me to move and move pretty fast. The move itself was utterly horrendous, and I don’t want to dwell on those details, but suffice it to say I came pretty close to a complete break-down. And the pain and suffering continued for months afterward.
Conclusion: I got what I wanted. I got to move home. But it was definitely “the hard way.”
Another example: My client was desperate to get out of her unhappy marriage. She prayed to get out of it somehow, some way, and she left the “how” up to the Universe. Well, one day, a gay woman walked into her life and they fell madly in love. But my client wasn’t actually gay; she was straight. There then ensued several years, yes, years, of on-and-off with the gay woman. They loved each other but both wanted the other to be something she just couldn’t be. And so that relationship ended, and badly. My client got what she wanted–out of the marriage. But it was unquestionably “the hard way.”
What’s the message here? When you are desperate for something to come through for you, you are likely to
a) wait a long time for it and
b) get it the hard way.
How do you get something “the easy way” instead? You still leave the “how” up to the Universe, but you have to relax about what you want.
Desperation brings “the hard way”.
Relaxation brings “the easy way”.
More to come on this. In the meantime, what do you think? What has your experience been with manifesting the easy way and the hard way? Please leave your comments below.
