Be Extraordinary

"This Quest has lifted me up and allowed me to start reaching my full potential!"

My story- Be extraordinary... I am not sure what drew me into this program. Especially since Covid, I have had extra time. I have been on a mad dash of growth and re-creating my life. I have listened to so many spiritual/self help/ growth podcasts, zoom calls, and video interviews from some very great inspirational people. I wanted to do all of the programs I heard, but, I had done some work with Mindvalley in the past and read a couple of Vishen’s books and loved them. I think this is what made me settle on this program. I actively started writing my first book when I started the quarantine. Although in my lifetime I have experienced massive pain and loss, I have moved mountains to be where I am now. I recently lost the love of my life (through break up), and I have been working my ass off to rise above this. I also lost my job at the beginning of Covid, which has turned into a pure blessing. Let me first also express that I know that I have areas where I can function at a very high level. I started a charity in 2008 in the midst of a terrible divorce. This charity has always been run at the highest love level possible and things always magically happen to get this work done. 

The ironic mantra I repeated for years with my charity is, “I am an extraordinary being and I create extraordinary things in the world”. Although I feel like I have given 100% to my charity work, this year I have gotten way too many wake up calls that I need to operate my own affairs in this same manor. I am loving being involved in the Be Extraordinary program. I am seeing so many shifts both in myself, and my world around me. I am waking up each day looking forward to magic happening. My relationships are improving. And by improving, things like my son has suddenly begun FaceTiming me several times a week letting me see his baby daughter. This is a GIANT shift that I have nothing but pure gratitude for. I just got a marriage proposal today from an old boyfriend. (Not taking this one?) I think I need to quit shining that love light so bright and focus my visualizations an finding Mr. Right.? In spite of not having a job, money is materializing around me in crazy ways. I was just blessed with unemployment which means that I am being paid to sit at home and finish my book! And money is appearing in random ways like going to the recycle bin and finding 130 year old collectible plates that someone discarded. I feel so completely confident that I will be successful in manifesting success with my new book and future books. An editor and an illustrator have both become available to me. I have also secured domain names for my first 2 books. Life doesn’t have to be perfect to make things happen! My dream was to be in a beautiful location to write my first book. I managed to complete my first draft while sitting on my porch looking at a parking lot. Everything is a choice in life. I could have chosen to play victim with the circumstances going against me. That isn’t who I am. I am bigger than my circumstances. And in part of my massive gratitude, is the gratitude I hold for doing the Be Extraordinary program and seeing more clearly how to reach my dreams. I am so thankful to be a part of this! This Quest has lifted me up and allowed me to start reaching my full potential! Love to all of you on your journeys as well!

I separated from my husband of nearly 40 years about 18 months ago. I knew deeply within myself that I needed to transform my outlook on life. I felt like an empty cicada shell with no inner life. I lacked direction and confidence in myself, even though I was well educated and had been an amazing...
