You know what folks? I recently set up a My Space page after listening to Suzanne Falter-Barns and Nancy Marmolejo talk about the benefits and fun of having a page. Actually, I have been hearing about My Space for a while now, from my two young adult children. They both have a My Space page where they talk about themselves, what they love, post lots of pictures and stay in touch with their friends. Wow…what a concept! Sounds like something the Rebel Belle would love to do.

My Space……….sounds like freedom to me. So, I too have set up a My Space page, a place where I can go to celebrate me, toot my horn, do what I love to do which is talk, talk, talk to my friends……and lighten up by having fun!

Check it out…wanna be my friend?

I love pondering the meaning of success. So does my friend and mentor Dr. Meg Haworth. Check out Dr. Meg’s perspective on success at her blog, Life Lesson’s From Your Soul.

My perspective? At times I feel like I’m on a bungee cord. One day I’m on top of the world, believing in myself….and then I let doubt creep in because my success doesn’t look like what others define as success.

It’s a challenge, and a fun one at that. I love embracing every opportunity I have to remind myself how fabulous I am and how my life rocks!!

Success is being me. Success is living life, squeezing as much juice and joy from the journey as I can, doing what I love to do, full out and on my terms.

What’s your definition of success….wanna share?

Everyone seems to be writing and blogging about books these days. I love it! I recently featured an article in my newsletter, The Rebel Belle Yell about a life defining moment stemming from a book I read - Deepak Chopra’s, The 7 Spiritual Laws of Success. Check it out here.

And, just in the last 3 days I’ve received blog comments and newsletter emails from other passionate women sharing their love of books, the ones they’ve read and the one’s they’re currently reading. I think this is fabulous!! Wanna play?

Go on over to LoudenMouth and join Jennifer Louden who is blogging about “Books That Have Changed My Life”.

I could go on and on…. I guess it’s obvious that in my case I love personal empowerment books that teach and integrate universal love, energy and spirit. Even writing this blog about the topic gets me excited.

What are some of your favorite books? I’d love it if you’d share!!

PS. Don’t forget the Spring Thing challenge over at Katrina’s Cattapillar Blog.

Marcia Francios my “professional organizer” bellefriend from South Africa turned me onto a really cool Thing. It’s the Spring Reading Thing 2007 Challenge created by Katrina over at Callapidder Days. It’s all about reading books, one of my most favorite things to do.

You know, I remember when I hated to read. It hasn’t been that long ago either. And, then more recently I remember sharing that my literary reading was the latest PEOPLE magazine.

All that changed for me in 1999. I was introduced to Bob Proctor, the power of personal growth and I got hooked on reading. I joined Bob’s mentoring program which required reading one personal empowerment book a month. Folks, I’ve been reading ever since. In fact, I shared recently that the question I get asked most often is, “Hey Tuck, what’s your – this is the best book I’ve ever read – right now?”

So, needless to say when Marcia told me about the challenge, I was pumped. Unfortunately, I’m a few days late for registering, but I’m on board anyway.

Here’s my list of books I intend to read by June 21st. Many of them will be re-reads. Bob taught me years ago that I can read a book a 2nd, 3rd and 4th time and with each reading learn something new. Bob says, “You can read a book a second time and see something you didn’t see before, because YOU are a different person than you were before.” Makes sense doesn’t it!!

Let’s go read and grow!!!!!

Okay, so here’s where I really get excited. Sandra Anne Taylor is talking my language.

Quantum Success has everything to do with me and how I hold my energy. Taking responsibility for my thoughts, emotions and feelings is consciously creating my life, which in Sandra’s book is the Law of Manifestation. And, as I become more conscious of how I use my thought and emotional energy to create my life, I attract circumstances and events to myself like a magnet (the Law of Magnetism), thus creating Quantum Success. Pretty rockin, huh?

As much as this information rocks every time I read it, it’s not new information. There are many fabulous bodies of work that describe how to create the life we desire using vibration, emotion and feeling along with the Laws of the Universe.

One of those brilliant bodies of work is presented by Gregg Braden in The Lost Mode of Prayer. Gregg describes the lost mode of prayer as a form of prayer, a prayer that has no words or outward expression. Braden’s presentation teaches that prayer is a highly sophisticated vibratory technique and an ancient memory that exists inside each of us. It’s an internal technology based in feeling that we can reclaim and call upon.

The lost mode of prayer invites us to become aware of and direct our thoughts, emotions and feelings to experience and embrace the creative forces of the Universe. This modality of prayer instructs us to consciously access, embrace and experience our bodies in conjunction with the creative forces of the Universe through three modes: thought, emotion and feeling.

As we align our thoughts, emotions and feelings into one powerful directive force, we create a vibration, a feeling of acknowledgment and gratitude that our desire is already accomplished. We can then say, “mountain move” and the mountain will move.

Am I the only one that gets pumped by this information? I ask myself this question all the time. This information must be resonating something deep within me that soothes my spirit and rocks my soul!!!

Okay….so how do we actually use this information to access this technology? How do we align our thoughts, emotions and feelings to fulfill our dreams and create the Quantum Success we desire?

Embody the technology:

Direct the thought.
Power the thought with emotion.
Feel the union (of thought and emotion) and with appreciation and gratitude, claim your desire as already done.

This is heart based prayer and this is Quantum Success!

Folks it helps me to write what I hear and anchor it into my energy field. So, I share with you the profound words I heard from Michael Beckwith on the Oprah show last week.

The kingdom of heaven is at hand NOW! Heaven is the realm of ever expanding good. It is at hand, based on the choices you make. The kingdom of heaven is within you. What comes out of your mouth, what you express or think; you are either participating in the realm of ever expanding good or you are cutting yourself off from that ever expanding realm of good. Everyone is accountable for the choices they make; the things they do or don’t do. You can make choices where you feel the limitation and put yourself in hell. And, you can make choices that are loving, forgiving, com passionate and generous, and open yourself to heaven.

What are you opening to?

Life is magnificent! The presence, the power, the love and the good is everywhere. Participate in the flow NOW.
