February Joyful Possibilities Newsletter

From the Desk of Joyologist, Vicki Kallman
Aloha,

Thank you readers for the wonderful feedback from the last newsletter. Remember, set those intentions for your success and joy everyday. It was once said by Lewis Carroll, “If you don’t know where you are going, any road will get you there.” I have my January intentions posted on a huge post-it in my office and read it everyday. Let me tell you, I have had a remarkable January and I believe it is because I have embraced my intentions. I am just about ready to take them down, fine tune them, and put up February’s Intentions. I hope you will do the same.

“Watch out for the Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing!”

I teach in my workshops that every decision we make takes us to love or away from love. I was asked in my interview with Janice Marie Wilson, how do you know if the decision you make is loving or not? First of all, that negative ego /mind can be tricky sometimes. A real wolf in sheep’s clothing! Have you ever thought you are making a loving decision to only have it blow up in your face? What went wrong? Wasn’t I coming from love? How do I avoid that reaction? First of all, you need to check why you decided to do what you did. Is there any lack of control involved, lack of approval involved, or lack or feeling safe involved? Let me give you an example with a loving solution.

Imagine you have a loved one that is not making great choices in their lives. ( I am sure everyone has experienced this! ) This person has not asked for your help, however, you are frustrated and you have decided to tell them just what you think they need to do. Of course, you think this is a loving act—or is it? Is that decision taking you to love or away from love? Let’s do a check. Close your eyes and spend a moment just pouring love on that decision- some more and some more. What happens to that decision- as you are loving it? Was unsettling? Then did it disappear or did it get stronger? Now get honest with yourself, were you making that decision because you lacked control and wanted to control that person? Those are all non-loving and “got to be right” feelings which will take you away from love and you both lose. As you can see, no good will come from that action- now what? Try this- decide to love and accept them and let them know you are there for them. Now love that decision. Does the feeling expand and become more peaceful? Now you are going toward love and everyone wins. Because when it comes down to it- “Everyone is going to do what they are going to do and not do what they are not going to do.” So do the loving thing for everyone- do the love test on your decisions, if you are not sure. Expose the ego/wolf unloving decisions for what they are and sleep well counting all the sheep/loving decisions you have made in your life.

— February Joyful Tip

I love the month of February. Love is in the air! It is the time of the year that people express to each other how they really feel. They do it with words like “I love You”, giving gifts of hearts, special nights out, and all to name a few. It is wonderful time to share your heartfelt feelings. Can I suggest you do something a little bit different this year for this month’s Joyful Tip, along with all those kind and loving acts, remember to give yourself the gift of love, too. Yes, love yourself just because it might just be what you are missing to make that special planned Valentine event be all it can be. What I mean is to be kind to yourself AND your loved one. Don’t get caught in the trap of over doing it because you want someone to love you. Instead, love yourself, trust yourself, care about yourself, in return, the other person will feel that you have something to give to them -abundant love. Let Your cup runneth over. Everyone benefits from your full love cup! If you do not have anyone special in your life- that is OK, too, Spend Valentine’s Day saying you love yourself all day- do something special just for you.There is a fabulous book that was released last fall by Larry Crane called, Love Yourself and Let the Other Person Have it Your Way. I believe you can go on Amazon and purchase it. It is easy to read with a powerful life changing message. Do you want to have the best Valentine’s Day ever? Read the book and implement the loving concepts. Be the Love and have the best Valentine’s Day possible.

Remember Love for Peace in your Life and in our World!

In Love and In Joy,

Vicki
