Want to know what Elle has been up to? Read below.

Buon Giorno! Life is magical. Two great things have occurred this week. Well, actually, more than that but two that I want to mention.

The first one is that I found myself promoting myself un-abashedly this week. An opportunity came up to be involved in a major film production. It's a $40M production and they are looking for a writer so I promoted myself for the writing. It was so much fun and so exciting. I can't wait to see what comes of it. And I am so proud of myself for doing that. Once again, I didn't even think twice about it. I just did it. I love this new Elle that I've created.

The second thing is that on Thursday of this week, I had set aside the whole day to focus on selling my script. What happened is that I avoided it like the plague. Not only did I avoid it, I avoided doing anything.

At first, I was really frustrated and angry at myself for doing this. One of the things that has scared me in the past was making cold calls with regards to the script, to contacts in Hollywood. I don't think I'm the only one who feels intimidated by cold calling. But I got around the idea by discovering that making cold calls is really a great adventure and I LOVE adventure. That's part of the reason that I love making movies. I love the creation of characters and living out the story in my mind. I love watching movies too because I put myself in the main character's position and live through the story with them.

That being said, part of me now is looking forward to making the cold calls. So I thought, why the hell didn't I do anything and I realized that we are all creatures of habit and my habit with this situation is to avoid it. So all it is is being caught in a habit of not doing.

I also realized that everything else in my life that I do that prevents me from achieving all that I want to achieve is simply being stuck in a habit, or a pattern of doing or not doing. What a revelation!

I also know that it takes 27 days to install a new habit. So, what I figured out is that all I need to do is choose who I want to be, figure out what the habits of that kind of person are and practice them for 27 days and VOILA! I will have created a new self that will have all that I want to have.

Sounds simple right? All I have to do now is get beyond this habit of not doing in order to do this exercise. I know that I will do it. I am not the same person that I was 6 months ago and I know that eventually, either by my own work or with the help of my new coach, Garrett, that I will do this and my life will explode exponentially.

Have a fabulous long weekend!

Love Peace Love ~ Elle :)

I have a good excuse! Really I do! ;-) Ok, so I do have an excuse and it's my story and I'm sticking to it. I know... you're thinking "What the hell is she talking about?". I'm talking about an excuse for not writing last week.

See, as I said in my last Dailie, I went to my sister's cottage and unfortunately she has very limited internet access and I couldn't do it. So, regardless, here I am now.

This week was the first week back to reality. It was bizarre, but I ended up accomplishing way more than I thought when I looked back on things.

The greatest thing is that I finally got a copy of the publication where I contributed an article. It was called the mentoring of Elle de Champagne. I got two extra copies to give to the two people that I mention in the article. One was my coach Morgana and the other was my mentor Al Magee.

Al is a specialty channel TV producer. I decided to bring his to him in person and thank him face to face. It was magical, I ended up pitching him my script and he said that he thought it sounded interesting and that it was totally feasible, and then he offered to mentor me a little longer. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!! How lucky am I?!!!

I'm also making some coaching changes. I'm going to be leaving Morgana. She is leaving Peak Potentials and I've decided to stay with them. So, I will be assigned an new coach and I'm looking forward to what types of possibilities this will open up. Life is truly magical.

Love Peace Love ~ Elle :)

Woah! A LOT has happened in these past few weeks! A LOT!

First off, I haven't written in a couple of weeks because last weekend was a long weekend and I ended up going to Ottawa to visit my family.

Well the massive news is that as of yesterday, I no longer work for someone else. I have graduated to being a movie auteur full-time. I know what you're saying... WHAT? Let me explain. There are some changes happening with the business that my former company is in and both my boss and I saw an opportunity for ourselves to make some changes. I saw an opportunity to take the next step in my life and he saw an opportunity to cut costs. This was the opportunity I was looking for and it fell right into my lap. I can't believe how luck I am. I mean really and truly. I asked the universe for it and I got it.

There are so many wonderful and magical things that have happened to me in the past few weeks I almost don't recognize myself or my life. I mean truly, I am beginning to truly live the life that I've dreamt of.

One last thing before I let you go because I have to get ready. I'm off to my sister's cottage in a couple of hour and I've got lots to do still before I get going. I got myself a tablet (laptop)!!! Another thing that I've manifested. Anyway, all this to say that I have no excuses for not updating regularly, every week.

Life is truly magical.

That's it for now... Love Peace Love ~ Elle :)

Good morning!

What a week! What a week! I've had so many epiphanies this week. It all started with the phone calls. I was to start making phone calls this week and I totally avoided them. And I realized that I needed to figure things out now because this behavior or whatever beliefs I had surrounding the making of the phone calls was obviously not serving me as I have to make phone calls in order to get anywhere with my film career.

As you know I took my Warrior training back in September of 2006 and with this training I act in spite of fear, doubt, worry, inconvenience and discomfort. But even that was not working. Then the answers started coming to me because I asked myself, how do I make these phone calls and really enjoy, have fun and be somewhat addicted to doing them.

As I was talking to Morgana this week, and we were discussing my apprehension about making the phone calls, I said something that really stood out in my mind. I told her that I felt like a little girl that was so afraid and was cowering in the corner. So when I got home that evening (Tuesday), I thought I'm going to figure this out once and for all so that it never gets in the way again and that I can move on powerfully in all areas of my life. And I decided that I was going to figure it out then and there. This was not going to drag on for a long time.

So I went back in my past and figured out that as a little girl growing up my father disciplined me very strictly. I have forgiven my father long ago for what happened during my childhood, and even now I realize that he did the best he could at the time. Although I had forgiven him, I had still not overcome the fear that surrounded those disciplining times. So that's what I did. I put myself in those times and in my mind I rehearsed being strong and standing up for myself. OMG it was such a powerful release and even now I'm feeling the after shocks. The next day I felt like a new person.

Even though I released that fear, I was still in the habit of reacting as a fearful person when it comes to making the phone calls and promoting myself, my scripts and movies. So I decided to rehearse all types of scenarios in my head and being powerful and successful in any situation. I can't tell you how powerful this exercise is. Seeing yourself as successful in situations that you never felt successful in before. Well, think of it this way... the most successful athletes in the world, I mean the professional athletes and the Olympic athletes always rehearse success in their heads in order to achieve it.

I heard a story once about Walt Disney. EPCOT center had just opened and unfortunately, Walt Disney had passed away before it was complete. Someone was talking to his brother and said: "It's too bad Walt wasn't around to see it." And his brother replied: "What are you talking about? He saw it first and that is why you're seeing it now." WOW! How powerful is that!!! I am so moved by that that I'm crying as I'm writing at the moment.

And then I was on YouTube the other day and I saw a video of Brad Pitt doing a skit for the Tonight Show where he was "shamelessly" promoting his movie Spy Games. It was hilarious and you can tell that he had a great time doing it. He was outside of a mall, promoting his movie to people that were coming out. He went knocking from door to door and the final part was when he came across a man that kept shutting the door on his face. After trying about four or five times and the guy kept shutting the door, he told him that he would do anything in order for him to see his movie. The next scene was Brad Pitt in bed with the guy, and the guy was old and fat, and they had just had... I'm sure you can guess what I'm saying.

Well, I thought that it was hilarious. How bold of Brad to do that. I thought he must have had so much fun doing that video. Then I thought, that's exactly what I want to do. I want to have fun doing crazy stuff like that. Then it dawned on me. I don't have to wait to be famous to have fun like that and be outrageous. I can do it now. In real life.

So that's what I'm going to do. Mind you, I won't go so far as sleeping with people, but I'm going to be outrageous with my phone calls and enjoy them and be the real me and I know that nothing but great things are going to happen.

That's it for now... Love Peace Love ~ Elle :)

Good morning! My wish this morning is that you're feeling amazing!

Last Saturday I got together with one of my best friends Carole. Carole and I have been on a similar journey in the past year and a half. She's the one who introduced me to Landmark Education. We also took the Millionaire Mind Intensive seminar together. Twice! And we also took the Enlightened Warrior Training Camp together back in September of 2006. Since then she's adopted her son, Austin, and she has created enormous amounts of success in her life.

My visit with her truly inspired me. We are on parallel journeys of self improvement but we've approached it from different perspectives because of our different circumstances. I've been working on self-development by doing my morning routine and she has been doing it because she has placed herself in a situation where she has no choice but to be the person that she is.

This inspired me to create circumstances where I have no choice but to create the life that I dream of.

I also had a great session with my coach, Morgana, where she told me again that you will achieve greater changes by taking baby steps. I first resisted this idea but after our last session I realized that what I was doing wasn't working to my satisfaction and so I decided to give it a try.

So what I've done is I've created a master plan, that requires taking baby steps. The baby steps are the 100% certain goals that I mentioned last week. So, I expanded the goals I set for myself last week to encompass my dream goals.

I'm very excited about my plan because I will achieve the goals that I set out for myself at the beginning of the year. 100% certain!

Here's what and when:

• January 24 (my birthday!), 2008: Elle's Ultimate Bod --> 120 lbs
• July 15, 2008: Freedom from cigarettes
• September 7, 2008: Financial Freedom and sale of my script Plebeian
• June 28, 2008: In a relationship with my Dream Guy
• June 28, 2009: My $30M opening weekend movie
• December 7, 2008: Closing day of my first live-in house

I'm SOOOOO excited about everything! Also, I'm going to post the details of how I'm going to achieve everything as soon as I finalize the plan, which will be very soon.

That's it for now... I hope you have a fantastic weekend! Love Peace Love ~ Elle :)

PS: Here's the plan!

Another great week. Two fantastic things I would like to mention.

First, I had a great coaching session with my coach Morgana. I was having a difficult time, before speaking with her, with regards to my goals. You see, I set four goals for myself in the first half of this year, that I was suppose to attain by June 11th and July 6th. June 11th was my quit date for smoking and my financially freedom date and July 6th was my date for finding my dream guy and having my Ultimate Elle Bod.

I didn't attain any of them, although I haven't given up either which is fantastic. I was telling her that they were unreasonable goals even though I set them for myself. I just realized something. They were unreasonable goals because I said they were and perhaps because I said they were unreasonable, this is why I didn't attain them. Hmm. I know they are attainable but back then I thought they were unreasonable because of the time line.

Anyway, the thing that really stood out for me is that she said: "Obviously, setting unreasonable goals is not working for you". Wow. I can't believe that I didn't notice that before.

Anyway, what she suggested was that I set 3 types of goals with respect to these four areas. One type is the 100% certain goal. I believe, and she reminded me, that it's better to under-promise and over-deliver. So the 100% certain goals would cover that.

The next type of goal is the 90% certain goal and the third type of goal is "the universe has to intervene" type of goal. This got me really excited and I started setting goals for myself immediately and I'm happy to say that the 100% goals have already been achieved. This is really exciting because I'm achieving goals. This puts me in a totally different state of mind. This is working!

Morgana also said that I should be focussing on my achievements rather than the gap. The gap being the gap between my ultimate goal and where I'm at. That was so brilliant of her because the gap is totally what I've been focussing on and this has been bringing me totally down. Needless to say that focussing on my achievements has totally reversed that state of mind.

The second fantastic note of mention is that I finished the re-write on my latest script called Plebeian. A Plebeian was a commoner in ancient Roman times. But the script is not about that. It's about a woman who falls in love with the wrong guy. All you woman out there understand what I'm talking about, right?

That's it for now... Love Peace Love ~ Elle :)

Good Morning! I truly hope that you've had a dream come true this week. :-)

I just finish doing my morning routine that I told you about last week and I realized that I made a dream come true recently. I want to celebrate it by telling you all about it now.

One of my dreams it to add value to my parents lives. Last month, with the help of my brother, Mark, and my sister, Susan, I was able to create a special moment for my parents and thus a very special moment for myself.

Because of all the work I've been doing with regards to my finances, I now have money to give. This give money is to give to other people in order to add value to their lives.

Last month, Tony Bennett was presenting a concert at Casinorama, a local casino. My brother, sister and I put a dream package together to have my parents attend the concert. And it all happened on my father's birthday which was an added bonus.

I sent my mother and father a card from Mark, Sue and I saying that their presence was requested at Tony Bennett's concert and that all of their travel arrangements were taken care of.

On the day of the concert, my sister picked up my parents from their home and drove them to the airport in Ottawa, where they live. They flew, via a small airline called Porter, to the city airport in Toronto, which happens to be on and island just south of downtown. This a very small airport in the middle of downtown Toronto. One of my friends happens to be the director of the airport and he arranged for me to cross on the ferry with a rented Lincoln Continental, so that I can pick my parents up right at the airport. Cars are never allowed to cross unless you work at the airport.

My friend Pat, gave me a tour of the airport and then we crossed over to the secure side of the airport and we parked by the landing strip to watch my parents flight land. That was SO exciting.

Then we met my parents and Pat had the ferry wait until we were ready in order to cross over to the mainland. We then drove, a little over an hour, to Casinorama, North of Toronto.

We played a little of the slot machines then went to dinner. Then we went to the concert. I managed to get my parents excellent seats close to the stage, while I sat a little further back.

Tony Bennett was outstanding. The concert was a little over an hour and fifteen minutes. This guy is 80 years old! and he stood and sang and entertained us the whole time! How many 80 year olds do you know that can do that?! He is truly inspiring!

My parents LOVED it. Tony is one of their favorite singers and they had never seen him in concert.

After the concert we drove back to Toronto, which took almost 2 hours because of all of the traffic leaving Casinorama. I thought my parents would sleep all of the way back, especially my father because he always falls asleep in the car, but we were buzzing the whole way back. I've never seen my parents so thrilled before.

We finally got back to downtown Toronto, where I had booked them a room at a beautiful hotel right on the waterfront. I accompanied them to the room and half of the room was windows which looked out over the water. It was truly breathtaking.

I left my parents some money for them to take a cab in the morning to the airport, which was just a 5 minute drive and told them to order room service for breakfast.

My mother told me afterwards that it was the best night sleep that she ever had because she woke up the next morning and she felt no pain in her back for the first time in a very long time.

They told me they had breakfast in the room and took a cab to the airport and flew back to Ottawa where my sister picked them up and drove them home.

According to my sister and brother, my parents couldn't stop talking about their experience.

As for myself, I have to say that this was one of the greatest moments of my life. I am so grateful to be able to have done this for them and to be able to share in their joy and my brother and sister's joy at being able to create this moment for my parents. Truly a dream come true for me.

Thank you for reading... Love Peace Love ~ Elle :)

Happy Canada Day weekend!!!

I can't believe how lucky I am. This morning I woke up reflecting on my life in the past 6 months and I can't believe how incredibly exciting it has been. I've been traveling so much that I feel like I've been away more than I've been home! I've gotten massive opportunities at work. I've dealt with skeleton's that I've had in my closet for a very long time. My wealth keeps increasing. I've got more clothes in my closet than I've ever had in my life. People keep giving me things. It's truly incredible and magical!

I truly believe it's all the work that I do on a daily basis that has created this incredible life that I am leading at the moment. So I thought I would share what it is that I believe has been at the crux of this momentum just in case you decide to do it for yourself.

Every week day my alarm goes off at 5:13am. On Saturdays it's 7am and Sunday's is the one day I allow myself to sleep in for as long as I want. :)

Regardless of what time I do get up though, I pretty much have the same routine. First thing I do is have my green drink. It's called Vital Greens..

I then go for a walk with Lulubelle. By about 2 minutes into our 20 minute walk I feel amazing. I credit this burst of vitality to the Vital Greens. It's bizarre too because I took this green drink about 4 years ago and I never felt this great before. I think it may be a combination of my better food choices and that I'm generally just more healthy than I was 4 years ago.

After my walk with Lu, I sit down and write in my journal. I started journaling 5 1/2 years ago as an exercise from the book I was reading at the time called "The Artist's Way" by Julia Cameron and I haven't stopped since. I find the exercise very therapeutic. I get to complain all I want. I get to support myself 100%. I always say how much I love myself and how amazing and astounding I am. I get to be creative and work out some story lines. I get to figure out/think out things that are challenging me. It's great.

The journaling usually lasts between 10 minutes and half an hour. After that I meditate between 5 minutes and half an hour. I find this exercise challenging at times but absolutely essential. It is my opportunity to get in touch with my higher self. I love it. I definitely want to get better at it though.

After the meditation, I do my 90-day workbook exercises. This is an exercise book that I got when I did the Millionaire Mind Intensive workshop in March 2006. At the end of the 90 days they recommend that you continue the exercises until you reach the goal you have set for yourself so I haven't stopped yet. In fact I've added to it.

It involves a few exercises. The first one is saying my declarations out loud. There were originally 17 declarations that I would read out loud but now I say them to myself in the mirror and I've added my Warrior, Guerilla business, Secrets of the Millionaire Mind and various other declarations that I've created. In all there are 96 declarations!!! I can't believe it! I've never counted them before! Wow! The other thing that I do in the mirror is state who I am as a possibility. This is an exercise that I learned during the courses that I took at Landmark. Every morning I create the possibility of magic, wealth, adventure and talent.

Then I put money into my financial freedom account. Usually it's around a dollar or more. This is an exercise to ensure that I am always paying myself first.

Then I do my VAKS exercise. VAKS stands for Visual, Auditory, Kinesthetic and Spiritual. This exercise is also designed to create a new way of thinking.

Then I do an exercise that changes every day, designed to open your mind up to the possibilities of wealth. This is followed by a list of my successes today, which gets completed at the end of the day. They say that success breeds success! Right?

I follow this by a few of my own exercises. I list at least 2 things or people that I am grateful for in my life then I list at least one thing that I am great at.

This whole routine can last anywhere between 10 minutes to half an hour and I follow this up with a few minutes of my vision board. And that's it! Then, of course, it's the getting ready for work and blah blah blah.

It looks like a lot more written down then what it feels like. Also, keep in mind that the 90-day section has really grown from the 5 quick exercises it was initially. I think that if I had decided to do all that I do now back in the beginning, I would have been overwhelmed and probably stopped a long time ago. I think doing one little thing in the morning is all that you need to do to get started. It puts you in the right frame of mind first thing in the morning and then you can carry it with you throughout the day, and perhaps create a little magic in your life.

Can you see how my daily morning exercises has led me to say how my life has truly magically changed? I've been told a few times over the past few days that I've really changed. The bottom line is that I know I've changed, nobody has to tell me that. I even surprise myself sometimes when I react differently to challenging situations than I used to a year or so ago.

Life is truly magnificent!!!

Until next time... Love Peace Love ~ Elle :)

Good Morning! Wow! I have quite a few things to talk about. First I want to touch upon a couple of things that I talked about in my last post. Monday was my smoke free day. It didn't happen. Although I didn't buy cigarettes for the past week, I have been bumming them off of my smoker friends. Bad, bad, bad!

I have learned a couple of things though. I know I can do it. I know I must do it. I know that when I do it I will do it cold turkey otherwise I keep myself stuck in the withdrawal phase and that is the toughest one to overcome. I know I can be strong enough to tell my smoker friends to not give me cigarettes. And, I know that I must set a new smoke free date. I want it to be as soon as possible. My nephew asked me to quit on his birthday which is June 25th but I'm thinking that I want to quit sooner. I know I'm hesitating on setting a new date because that's the smoker brain talking. How do I get beyond it? I guess I just do. I will set a date by the time I finish this daily.

The second thing is that am not financially free... yet! :) However, I got some un-expected passive income this week. Some of you may already know this, I got a royalty cheque from a song I wrote.

I also am certain that I am creating my financial freedom as I write this. It was very strange, yesterday on my afternoon walk with Lulubelle I all of a sudden had this sense of certainty that I will be financially free very soon. I was happy that I felt that way because one thing that Tony Robbins says is that with a sense of certainty, you create the way for it to happen. Also, if any of you have seen The Secret, you'll know that I'm aligning myself with the law of attraction. The great thing is that I didn't even think about it. It just popped into my head.

On another subject, last night I got together with a few friends. Some people I hadn't seen since New Years Eve. On New Years Eve, we set a theme for the year and we all shared it with each other. Some of us were living our theme and some of us weren't. I told the person who wasn't that it was ok because she hadn't made it a priority, and perhaps her theme had changed.

The great thing that did happen was that I realize how much I was really living the theme I had set out for myself, of adventure. I feel so blessed and lucky to have created this for myself in my life. Woo Hoo!!!

Oh ya, I forgot to mention that I did not finish my script last weekend. However, I did work on it and I am feeling more and more confident every day that I am creating a masterful script that will either end up being a sleeper or a blockbuster. In case you don't know what a sleeper is, it's a movie that nobody knows about that all of a sudden is very popular.

So as promised, I've decided on a new smoke freedom day. It will be this Monday, the 18th.

That's it for now. Love Peace Love ~ Elle :)

Good Morning! Wow! I've had so many great victories lately. I'm so excited! Things are happening naturally. I mean, I used to have to think about being successful but now things are just happening. More and more.

Yesterday on my bike ride to work I had an accident. The great thing about this accident is that I didn't resist the fall. I went with it. Naturally. Without thinking about it. I know I saved myself from major injury. Not only that but my reaction to the accident was a victorious one. Meaning, I did cry or feel like a victim. That is HUGE for me.

Monday will be my smoke freedom day. I have been preparing for this day for a couple of months now and I am ready. I have found a new way of approaching the whole quitting thing that I know will allow me to be successful at it. Instead of thinking that I will be taking something away from myself, I see it as a gain. As a freedom. I've realized, first of all, that I am a non-smoker at heart. Why? Because I was born a non-smoker and I grew up as a non-smoker. Secondly, I've realized that I am living in a smoke jail at the moment and that the transformation will lead me to freedom.

There are moments when I still think the other way, meaning that I'm afraid and that I will be missing out when the time comes but I know I can handle anything. Bring it on! Also, I was talking to Morgana (my coach) yesterday, and she said to me: "do you think that convicts experience fear sometimes before they are released from jail?" I thought about it and I said yes because there is comfort in the known even if it means jail.

I choose to live in the unknown. I believe that life and adventure and wonderful things are to be found in the unknown. It reminds me of a CD that I listen to where Tony Robbins is interviewing Deepak Chopra and Deepak says that he wants to be living in the unknown every moment of his life. Wow!

The other goal I had set for myself by Monday, June 11th is Financial Freedom. It hasn't happened yet but I believe I can make it happen by Monday.

This weekend is also about completing the re-write on my script Plebian. I didn't manage completing it a couple of weekends before because I didn't make it a must but this weekend it is a must and it will get done.

I didn't give you an update last weekend because I was still away on a business trip. What a great trip it was. I had an opportunity to visit some family in the Quebec area some of whom I hadn't see in many many years. It was awesome.

I'm looking forward to a day in the near future when I will have a laptop and that I will be able to make updates to the dailies on a more regular basis. Maybe even on a daily basis. Now wouldn't that be a novelty. ;-)

Well, that's it for now. Have a fantastic weekend and see you on the flip side. Love Peace Love ~ Elle :)

First of all, I hope you will join me in celebrating my success. I said I would finish my sister's wedding video last weekend and I did. Woo Hoo! There were times when I caught myself with a defeatist mentality and I realized that if I allowed myself to continue thinking this way that I wouldn't finish the video so I had to let it go.

I think that if I wasn't so bent on finishing the video then I wouldn't have noticed those ways of thinking and it wouldn't have happened and I was bent on finishing the video because I said I would and I wanted to continue being the person I have become and that is a person that is true to her own word. My word is law. Whatever I said I will do, I will do and I will do whatever it takes to make it be true. Ah!

I am beginning to experience power and strength like I never have before. I am so not letting myself get taken out by anything any more. I can handle anything. I am bigger than any obstacle.

It's so funny reading what I am writing this morning because a lot of it is a regurgitation of the declarations I say to myself in the morning. In case you didn't know, I say my declarations every morning. These are amazing and really powerful sentences that in the beginning I was reading to myself and now I know them so well that I just say them to myself in the mirror of my bathroom every morning. These declarations are helping me create the type of person that I need to be in order for me to do and get all of the things that my heart desires.

Today I quit smoking. It's over. Woo Hoo! I was listening to a Tony Robbins CD that I've listened to so many times before. Every time I listen to it I am so touched and moved. This time, which was probably the 500th time I've listened to it (only slightly exaggerating!!! ;-)), I got inspired. I got inspired to take my life to another level. I got inspired to step up. I got inspired to be the warrior that I am and conquer myself. I got inspired to be all that I can be, to live my full potential.

What a wonderfully glorious day. This weekend is all about re-working my script Plebian so that I can create a masterfully crafted script. It's going to be frikin AMAZING!!!

I wish you a fan-frikin-tastic weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love Peace Love ~ Elle xoxox

As you can see I've been away for a couple of weeks. Regardless I've had a lot happening to me. As you know I've been doing a lot of inner work on myself for the past year and a bit and what a massive difference it is making. It's affecting me in all areas of my life.

For example, I'm playing beach volleyball again this year and I had my first game last Monday. One of the players remarked that I played really well. This is one of the players that pointed out all the mistakes that I was doing last year - and I love him for it! I know I played much better because of my overall confidence level and because I've quieted a lot of negative voices in my head. You know the ones that say "I'm not good" "I can't do this" "Why am I so bad at this" "I hope I don't miss this shot". They're gone now and what I do say is "I'm going to get that ball" "I'm going to set that shot" "I'm ready" "I know what I'm doing". SO KEWL!

I am also practicing for success. I never realized that I could do that. What I mean is that whenever I was afraid or worried about a certain situation happening, I would think about how badly I handled it in the past instead of learning from it and practicing in my head how fantastically I would handle it in future, if it would ever come up again.

Another thing I learned is that a woman is very powerful and that my power comes in the ability to say "no". I never thought I could or had the right to. Isn't that crazy! What a realization that is!

This weekend I'm going to finish my sister's wedding video. In the past I would say things like that but I would only hope that it was going to happen. And then, of course, I would say how bad I was in my own head for not having completed it, because in the back of my mind, I knew that I wasn't going to finish anyway! Wow, it's so great to finally be able to see how I was causing my own demise in the past and how I've been clearing a path for success.

Now I realize that my word is law so if I say I'm going to do something then I will. So her video is virtually finished and I'm just going to manifest it into reality! Tee hee!!!

That's it for now. I wish you nothing but the very best this weekend! Love Peace Love

Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Life is really neat and I'm trusting it more and more to unfold as it is meant to be or as it should. What I mean is that I have intentions that I've put out there. Actually, I'm constantly putting it out there. I do this with my vision board. I focus on my vision board every morning for about 10 minutes. And now I've started trusting that the universe it going to give me what I need.

For example, I was riding my bike home from work yesterday and I was listen to my iPod. I had it on shuffle. I have all kinds of things on my iPod. I have music but I also have all of my personal development CDs, so when it's on shuffle, I'll either get a song or one of the PD cd's.

So far when I've been riding, I choose to listen to songs or to the PD stuff but yesterday I decided to let it shuffle and take whatever was coming and trust that whatever came would be what I needed to hear. So sure enough, a couple of songs went by then one of the PD tracks came on. At first I thought, I know this already, and then I remembered one of the things that I learned at Landmark. It's called "Already always listening". This can be when you say to yourself, "Oh, I know that already". It can also be when something happens, say like you hear a siren, and you think to yourself "Oh great, what did I do now" or "was I speeding?".

So I thought, there is something in the PD track that I need to hear right now. There is something new that I haven't really distinguished yet. So I let it play and Harv was talking about this guy that went from being broke to having $740M in 4 years! Wow! Can you imagine?!

Anyway, he went on to say that people often asked him what his secret was and he would say "3 words. I. Think. Big". Wow! That totally struck me. Somehow I knew that this was meaningful because it really stood out for me.

Last night, I went to Josh and Peter's for diner and to chat about our projects. That was a total blessing because while talking out loud with people, and they are very creative people I might add! While talking with them about my movie project, Peter was saying how I needed to think outside of the box. Peter loves the internet, as do millions of us, and he was talking about how to align the project with it. So I came up with this amazing idea that will make use of this wonderful world and I don't want to say much more because I don't want to ruin the surprise.

I'm really changing. I know that in order to achieve the things that I want to achieve, that I need to be more than who I was and although the process I'm going through is much more convoluted than I want to get into at the moment (I have to stick to my schedule!), I'm noticing the changes, one step at a time and I getting more and more excited about it.

That's it for now. Gotta run to my yoga class. Love Peace Love

Wow! I can't believe it's another year. I just archived last year so if you want to see any of it, click on the top link in the Past Dailies on the right.

Double Wow! Where to start. This is the challenge of when I don't write here on a regular basis, which brings me to one of the things that I've done recently. Actually, it was just a few days ago. I've created a schedule for myself. I had a schedule before but it was more like a list of things that I want to do in a day. Now I've actually blocked off some times for specific things. The reason I did this is that I really wasn't completing the things that I wanted to do. Well, I've noticed a huge change already! I'm actually doing the things I set out to. Another reason why I wanted to do this was that I wasn't being true to the things that I really want and care about, especially my movie career.

One of the things that has prevented me from creating such a schedule before was that I was so afraid that it would limit me. I have a whole new outlook on life and in fact, since I've created this schedule, I've been much happier and more fulfilled. I'm still adjusting to it, meaning that I'm noticing that some times are not reasonable so I'm making changes as I see fit and I've noticed how I resist certain things, which is so cool because now I know this is something I need to deal with.

For example, on Thursday, this was my $30M OW night. First let me decipher this code for you. As I mentioned in my last post I want my first movie to be a $30 Million opening weekend (OW). ;-)

So I came up to my $30M OW time slot and I was just procrastinating. I've got a lot of expectations associated with this. Some of them are fears. Fear of the work involved. Fear of success. Fear of failure. Fear of not being good enough. One of the lessons I learned not too long ago is there are certain things that I resist but then when I finally get around to doing them, that I just love it and get lost in the moment and that the more I get lost the more I love it and the better things get. Well, I finally realized, not so long ago, that if I set myself up to be excited, no matter what, about starting this thing that I was avoiding, that I would get into it like almost immediately and that I would be in the zone right away. So, this is one of the tools I've been using lately.

The other thing is that I've been revisiting my Tony Robbins tapes (yes tapes! I've had them for a long time!!!) and one of the tools he uses is anchoring and doing what is called a Swish exercise. I'll write more in detail about those tools at another time, but my coach and I have also been using these tools in other areas of my life.

So, right now, I am so pumped and excited about life and my adventures. Things are fantastic!

Also, I'm now going to be writing on a regular basis. I know I've said this in the past but now I've scheduled it so it's a no brainer. Except for next week. I'm flying off again to Ottawa for a day for my cousins wedding. After that I'm going out east with work, for a week. I love it! Life is just wild and crazy and I LOVE it.

There's a lot more going on but since I'm writing on a regular basis I think I'll leave some for next time. I wish you an absolutely fabulous weekend! Love Peace Love
