After thoroughly enjoying my second Thanksgiving celebration this fall, I am feeling very thankful and certainly over-stuffed. We had the opportunity to spend our Canadian Thanksgiving in October with family prior to heading south for winter followed by the US Thanksgiving with beloved friends in Yuma today.

My life is so full of the multitude of things I give thanks for it would take a whole day of writing just to list them. My family, friends, business associates, sweet Atma, our lifestyle, health, and it goes on and on. I am truly blessed.

In my heart at this time I am grateful for the eleven years I was privileged to be guardian for Sid, my soul connection cat. After a health issue that was not serious but took lots of time in care for him and due to a poor decision on the part of an animal health care provider, it did turn into a life and death matter. After heroic measures by an Animal Emergency Hospital followed by the attention of one of the most renowned animal surgeons in the country, we were faced with the choice to operate with a less than 10% survival rate and continued health challenges if he did make it, or let him go. Loving him as we do, the only choice was to let him go. I held him in my arms while Hubby placed his hand on his heart and we sent him over the Rainbow Bridge.

I don't need to tell fellow animal lovers how this feels and how much you grieve and miss your beloved pet. Yet, we still can't imagine life without these unconditionally loving, warm, wiggly, purring, puppies or kitties in our lives. Even in our pain, we give thanks for Sid choosing us as his guardians and for loving us, entertaining us and gracing us with his presence.

It reminds me of other times we need to let go of something. We can stubbornly or even unknowingly hold onto one thing when letting go of it is what is needed in order for us to receive another thing we want or need.

This issue's 'To Your Goal Progress' article will expound on how this can affect your goals. What do you need to let go of in order to grow and receive what you want?

Enjoy!

WHAT'S LYNN UP TO?

I am incredibly excited and honored to have applied and been accepted into Ali Brown's Millionaire Protégé Club Platinum tier for 2010! What does this mean? Well, I am going to be one of a select group who will be personally coached and mentored by Ali and her co-coach James Roche, both highly respected and successful as Internet Marketers, for the whole of next year. Having been a life coach for six years I know that people who hire Personal Coaches succeed at a much higher and quicker rate than those who don't. Even Coaches need a coach. And sometimes we just have to take a leap of faith and dive in! I dove in and am taking my business and my clients to the zenith of our highest goals. It's not too late, the water is fine, dive in with us and make 2010 your banner year!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My book-in-progress finally has a title! Yes, the title and subtitle just seemed to run out of my fingers into the computer keys and out onto the monitor before I knew it was happening. It's a secret for now, but it is a fantastic title!

Most of the time I am buried like a mole in the pages of this book. Now you know that I live with Hubby, a dog and a cat in our RV. No place for a quiet, private, office room. So I make myself comfy on the couch with laptop, cat or dog or both, cup of tea and really good earplugs and I'm set for a few hours. It's a great way to work! Hubby is most considerate and quietly does whatever he needs to do here at home or he goes off on errands.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My website updates are getting ready to debut. Some new coaching packages and a new 'Lynn Recommends' page are among the new introductions. I am recommending at least 50 books, CD's, movies and live events that you can access with just a click. I'll provide the links when my behind the scenes talented team has them ready for you.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Next up,I was interviewed by Brysen Bristow of The Help Yourself Nation. Here's what Brysen says about our session:

"Eavesdrop on this super jam-packed interview with The Clear Goals Coach, Lynn Moore as she spills the secrets of preparing your mindset & connecting with your soulset as well as an in depth discussion and lessons about relationships, the past, our habits and health.

You'll want to have a pen, paper (at least 2-3 sheets) and the intention to take pages of notes as Coach Lynn shares an incredible process for loving ourselves and lives more than our habits in order to create the life of our dreams!!!"

TO YOUR GOAL PROGRESS

"How to Know What You Need to Give Up in Order to Get What You Want"

The Universe loves a vacuum.

In order to attract something new, we have to create a vacuum, create a space, for the desired something to move into. Like moving the furniture in your home to accommodate the new piano. If you continue to acquire new things in your home without letting go of some of the old stuff, what do you think your home will look like after a while? Stuff piled on top of stuff, no room to maneuver, major dust collecting, and soon you don’t even want to enter that room. The clutter has taken over.

Your brain is just like that room. Some of those old thoughts that don't serve you anymore need to be handed eviction notices. What are some beliefs that you think you could let go of? Beliefs about some people in your life, beliefs about yourself, beliefs about your neighborhood, your country, your world, even beliefs about reaching your goals.

How do you know which ones to send packing? It's a matter of selection by feel. Instead of over-thinking and getting yourself into a pretzel of analytical discomfort, let your heart do your thinking for you. The heart is never wrong. Why? Because your Divine Source lives within your heart and your heart holds all your feelings.

To really listen to your heart, you want to become quiet and as serene as you can. Sometimes that is outside in a natural environment such as a beach, a walk among snow-covered trees, sitting by a stream or river or it can be a bubble bath by candlelight or soft music through a head set.

A little preparation first is necessary because you need to have a list of some of those beliefs, people, possessions, behaviors, etc. that you are questioning as needed in your life. Just write them all down without any thought as to whether they need to be on the list or not.

After you are settled comfortably in your serene space, just breathe. Become aware of the feel of the breath as it enters and leaves your body. Start to breathe a little bit deeper drawing air into the bottom, then the middle and lastly the top of your lungs. As you exhale, reverse the process and release the air from the top, then middle and lastly the bottom of your lungs. As you are breathing, gradually allow your body to relax from your feet to the crown of your head. All this can take as little as five minutes or as long as you wish.

When you feel ready, allow one of the items on your list to enter your heart. Feel it there. Is the feeling uncomfortable? A change in your breathing or a tensing of previously relaxed areas of your body will tell you. Perhaps you frowned or moved your head from side to side as if to say 'no'. Your breathing may have become more shallow or rapid. Your fingers want to make a fist. Is the feeling neutral or pleasant? Again, your breathing and relaxation changes will tell you. You may have smiled or even chuckled a bit, sighed, raised your eyebrows, nodded, experienced warmth in your heart area or relaxed even deeper.

You innately know the difference between positive and negative reactions and feelings. If your negative feelings surface the second you place an item on your list into your heart, you are being guided to let go of it. Sometimes your head will butt in (couldn't resist the pun!) and argue with you. Gently tell it to move aside, you already have your answer. When your list item evokes feelings of well being and acceptance, then you know you are guided to keep it in your life.

What you have done is ask for guidance from an all-knowing source, prepared yourself to receive the guidance and trusted the process. It always works. The more you do this, the more you trust because the results it beings into your life are the right ones, every time.

This kind of housecleaning should be a regular occurrence, not just spring and fall, especially if you are finding yourself struggling, feeling overwhelmed or 'cluttered'. Remember how good it feels when you tidy and organize your outward surroundings and you can find that same good feeling when you do it for your inward home.

You will actually find that you look for reasons to give the heave ho to things that have outlived their usefulness because you love what it makes of you when the new things come in to fill the vacuum.

Make it a goal!

IN CLOSING

"Enlightenment is like the moon reflected on the water. The moon does not get wet, nor is the water broken. Although its light is wide and great, the moon is reflected even in a puddle an inch wide. The whole moon and the entire sky are reflected in dewdrops on the grass, or even in one drop of water."
~ Dogen, Soto Zen Master
