Blah Blah.
Happy Black Friday.
Bah, humbug! I like blue or red. Or magenta.
Magenta Friday! And a Happy One To Ya! I hope you are still feeling grateful and thankful and full of food.
Another brilliant poster from my friend and source of inspiration Karen Salmansohn of notsalmon.com
I wasn’t going to do a DMC today (Daily Manifestation Challenge in case you hadn’t caught on yet) but I fell upon Karen’s poster and I thought: this is too good to pass up.
I used to spend much of my life saying: I should have….. I wish I would have……. I wish I hadn’t….. I could have………
Oh? You want me to fill in the sentences?
Ok. I am down with being very honest these days.
Here is what I used to say. A lot. Old tapes, if you will.
I should have stayed in NYC and not moved to LA. I probably would be a famous writer and wear turtle necks and live in a cute apartment in the West Village and my life would be perfect.
I wish I would have realized how beautiful I was when I was younger instead of hating myself so much.
I wish I hadn’t said “I hate you” to my father right before he died. Those were the last words we spoke. Maybe he wouldn’t have died?

Dear Manifesters, I changed my whole life by changing my thoughts and taking action in the NOW. Yes, once in a while I longingly look toward my past and wish I had done it different. Then I wake the heck up. I mean, I wouldn’t be my Manifesting Self if I hadn’t gone through exactly what I had gone through. If I hadn’t done it exactly like that. There is no “it should have been this instead of that.” There is only that. It is impossible to think there could have been a this. This or That.
Choose one and move one.
No more Woulda, Shoulda, Coulda. Blah Blah. Seriously Manifesters, can you add your comment below? Write down where you have either made a shift and are no longer living in the ” shoulda woulda coulda” mindset or where you are going to start today?

“The Choice Is Yours! You can get with this or you can get with that. I think you’ll get with this, for this is where it’s at!”
