Transforms Mundane into Majestic

President Dieter F. Uchtdorf in the Relief Society Conference said, “The “why” of obedience sanctifies our actions, transforming the mundane into the majestic. It magnifies our small acts of obedience into holy acts of consecration.”
I love the words “Mundane in the Majestic”! I believe when we know who we are and what we are to do. There is an energy that emulates and encompasses us. It transforms the mundane into the majestic. I have personally experienced this in my life and know that when I am filled with light and joy the mundane transforms into majestic and everything is Great!! May we all experience this transformation many times in our lives. 🙂

Transformation

I am a Visionary!  I have taken off the mask Healer!  Can you give me an Oh Yeah!! 🙂

Today, as I was sharing about myself while my buddy I learned that I love to have fun, to teach and to share.  My results were: Teach people how to have fun while going though tough times.  This lesson taught me that I really am a visionary person.  I have been hiding behind healer for many years nursing my family, my baby and even my husband.

I also talked a lot about birds and I believe it is mostly because I WANT TO FLY!  I feel tethered to Healer and I want to FLY – Have FUN.  I want to be able to transform people’s lives and hard times through adventure.  So from now on I’m transforming into my true visionary profile that is mine!  YAH!  oh, I feel free!  🙂

My Dinosaur Dream

Thom and I were at a party in my parents house with many of our friends who were starting businesses.  A very large storm came up as everyone was leaving.  I went to help someone and I took Tirzaan with me and we started sliding all over the road.  I finally stopped secured Tirzaan, we and pulled out another car full of people and then returned to the van to find that Tirzaan was not in the van he had gotten out and was content on the snow next to the van, but it sure gave me a panic.
Somehow I was then on the next road  helping Italia back to the house.  There was this very horrible man who collected scary animals from all over the world that lived between where we were headed.  We went on way and the animals spooked us, so we went around the other way and found that one of the angry bores had gotten loose and was headed toward us.  I turned Italia around a went back up to the very large barn where we jumped in missing the attack.  Inside I could tell we were going to have a difficult time getting to the other side.  We eased our way across strange objects and smell and down a very large incline.  The owner came in from somewhere and I told Italia to keep going, that I would talk with him.  I came over to meet him and told him we were sorry for trespassing, but we just wanted to get home.  He asked about my daughter and looked upset.  I got the feeling something terrible was happening, he stopped me and said there is nothing you can do for her now she is gone.  “Do you mean my daughter is dead, how?”  “The raptasaurous.”  What?  I ran down and all I could see was very large wings hovering over something.  Then he got up and flew toward me I ran to the back door and saw that there was no way I could escape.  So I braced myself and ducked down.  Then I thought, he is not taking me without a fight and I stood back up as he opened his large mouth and I blocked him putting my whole arm into him mouth.  I immediately thought he would chop my arm off but immediately disappeared.
The next scene was in a forest with my husband and many many friends, those who had begun businesses and were very successful.  One had just taken over a business of another friend and was explaining to me her excitement.  I then walked to others just happy as ever.  Thom and I walked under a wooden canopy and when I was in the middle the roof disappeared and money, lots of money fell all around us.  Everyone cheered.  I had made it, I had reached my goal!

My interpretation:  There will be many storms ahead, but I’ll still be able to help many.  I will have to face many evil situations and overcome my greatest fear.  But I will triumph and win the prize. 🙂 (not sure what happens to my children and how they are connected in this)

Guided

Have you ever felt like your life was being guided in every direction?  Where everything is going right and you are jut being lead to the right people to the right seminars to the right store all at the right times?  This has been my experiences these last few months.  Don’t get me wrong I have had plenty of days, months and years where I felt I wasn’t going anywhere or doing anyone any good.  But this is about my latest experiences.

My friend, Nannette, invited my to a seminar as her guest.  I remember opening it up and saying – YAH!  This is exactly what I want, I can’t wait!  I had thought it was a seminar on oils (I had just joined the doTERRA team and was in the learning stages).  When I got there and realized my mistake I thought that it might be a seminar where lots of different people get up and share their expertise and try to sell your their product.  I began to get an attitude and felt that if I wasn’t with Nannette I would just leave.  But as it progressed I saw that there was a theme in each of the speakers and that each of them were truly honest in their desire to help make the individual prosperous!  From there I began to think that I may be able to use their tools and plans to help sell my book.  And that’s when it became exciting for me and I was ALL in.

Since then I have gotten very close to my purpose.  I went from wanting to publish my outlines, to helping mothers, to teaching teenagers, to starting a school and now recently I get that it is a little more with people waiting for me to help heal them and that it is on both sides of the veil.  I received my  “call”, now I just need to learn how to do it.  I am to heal people through communication and education.

My journey to get to this point has been fast and furious, but fun and energetic.  After attending the Prosperity Summit I joined the Prosperity Tribe, a group of people who want to change and create prosperity in their life.  I went home to my new home and began unpacking and purging.  With each trip to the dump I felt a little freer spiritually as well as physically.  The first week I committed to have a purposeful power hour.  I learn soon that this was power.  I studied, prayed and exercised (I learned that it was working in the garden and yard that I felt accomplished and getting a good workout).  As the week progressed I decided that it wasn’t enough for me and I added a lot more things to do.  But by Monday night only 1 of the 4 were complete.  I had to ask myself what was wrong why couldn’t I make this happen?  That night I prayed and learned that I hadn’t turned it over to God so He could make it happen.  So I gave my goals to Him and the next day before the lunch I had everyone of the goals completed.  (I watched Celestial Education, watched Garrett video, called 4H, called for the 12 step program).

At the lunch with the Tribe, Gerald asked me, “W”hat would happen if I published?  I answered, “I could touch peoples lives.”  Then he asked, “What would happen if I didn’t?” “I wouldn’t touch people.”  So, he said, “It is a guarantee that if you didn’t you could touch and help no one, but if you did there is a possibility you could touch lives, then why don’t you do it?”  From that conversation I was committed to publish.  When I returned home and checked my email and saw a documentary on a school in California, The Independent Project and a whole new idea began to emerge – I could start a school!!  WOW!!! that was a big jump.  So then I committed to come up with a name, get my branding, get my group together and get a date for my first day.  I did that with amazing results (read them on my keystone education blog).  I was going to be the creator of a school, the possibilities were endless.

The next week we began the Liberation Challenge: to physically clean out our clutter.  So I committed to get my bedroom, family room and garage cleaned out!  Then I attended a class on chacras.  During the meditation and when we were concentrating on the heart I saw many many faces flash before my face, to the point I was overwhelmed, my grandma’s face came and I felt comforted and she said, “you are fine, we are here” and then more faces.  The instructor, Daniel McDonald later told me that those were the faces waiting for me to help.  They were on both sides of the veil.  Family History, he said, was not just for temple work, but spiritual healing.  I was overcome with emotion, this was truth, my calling.  That night I dreamt about a conversation my mother in law that had very recently died (see fb under Carol Neil Family).  She gave me many instructions, none of which I remember at this moment, but know I will later.  In the dream the message was powerful and I wanted to share it with everyone.  So that is my journey to this point and I still I’m being guided to where I need to be.

Other things are happening more often too.  I have a “treasure box” that I keep my special items from childhood in, plus I have one for Thom, his Mom and his Dad.  I had the thought that I needed a bigger treasure box to put them all in.  Tonight my dear friend, Sharon Dawson gave me a large chest, exactly the right size.  Another, I really want a hair cut, so I thought, if I could get $10 I would spend it on a hair cut.  Tonight I received $10.  Amazing Journey indeed!!  I hope you have days like this too.

Getting into a New Home

Thom and I lived in a 2 bedroom basement apartment with our eight children. We rented from my mother in law who lived upstairs. We have lived there for almost eight years struggling to make ends meet. During those eight years we had our last three children and spend most of two years in and out of the hospital with our 5th son who was born without a bile duct causing many other complications and had to have a liver transplant.
At the end of April 2011 she came down with an infection in her back that she received from a fall in March. She went down fast. I was attending to her on almost an hourly basis. On May 2 she had a stoke and was taken to the hospital. On May 6 she died of complications from infection and back surgery. Since then we have been on an incredible journey I would have not expected. We knew we could no longer stay in her home and started looking for places to live. On the day of the funeral Vicci, my sister-in-law and friend was offered a full-time job in Cedar City and needed to move. They needed someone to rent their home so Thom and I moved into their home. We ended up getting new carpet and linoleum and a painted the whole house for our deposit. All of these were gifts given to us by friends and people in the community.  Thom had just had a real estate sale and we were able to pay the first month’s rent.

We spent the whole month of May and most of June moving mom’s things out, moving Steven and Vicci to Cedar City and painting and moving ourselves.  What an ordeal!!  We inherited many furniture items from mom and received others from friends and neighbors so we were able to fill our home and we each have places to sit.

Moving to this new home has brought us many joys.  One of the first days I was here painting I got to watch the sun rise and the rays fall through the house.  I was so overcome that I fell to my knees in gratitude for windows.  I can see light of the sun everyday now and not have to depend on the clock to tell me the time of day.  In fact this has changed the dynamics of our home.  We use to eat dinner very close to six every night, but it has been a month now and we are still struggling with the time, it will be eight o’clock and I will think it is not even five. 🙂  We also have room for the children to run and play in but most of all we have places to sit other than our beds or kitchen table chairs (we had a love-seat and chair, but they always seemed to be used).  We feel extremely blessed.

Hello!

I’m just beginning this blog and website to stretch myself beyond the things I knew.  It is a learning experience for sure, I have found it to be more difficult than I had expected and in other ways easier.  I’m going to keep it up until I can do this for others.  Wish me luck!  🙂
