Looking for an Insight?

Allow these True Tales on the path to Good Fortune to Inspire your own insights - your own ability to make choices and write your own script. It all starts with your unique Vision of the life you want.

If you don't have a Dream, its only because you don't think you can have what you want and it's too painful to want and not get. Children learn to ignore their inner guidance and feelings and then live as a "bit player" in others stories. Those decisions are made outside of awareness - often to survive a difficult situation. The culprit is always "fear."

Overcoming fear is a difficult task and few accomplish it because they don't realize fear can change through getting the facts and a change in attitude. Fear and depression are deadly. Teen suicide is on the rise - the 2nd leading cause of death for those under 17. The strongest survive and live to tell about it. Follow Mark's inspiring True Tale that describes a clear and simple path out of fear and into a life of Good Fortune.

Overcoming Fear is a choice June Harder made and it opened her life to living her Inspiration. Once the truth about fear is known, then it takes persistence to change the bad habit. It begins with the facts, often involves the amazing process of EFT or Tapping, and commitment. Many have done it and freed themselves to live life fully and follow their Dreams.

June Harder is a grandmother that survived a horrible life of abuse in every form over and over, and then accidents and surgeries.

"…discovering how to Overcome Fear is the most freeing thing that's ever happened to me. I held everything inside from the time I was very young and trusted no one. I'd shut down all feeling and to this day never really know what my true feelings are. My life was saved by Lithium but that put me into more of a box with absolutely no feelings."

Tales of Health, Wellness and Anti-aging

Almost "Free" Health and Vitality.

I have mostly ignored the advice about good nutrition and exercise.

When I got to the point where I had to zip my jeans with pliers, I’d stop eating for a couple of weeks.

When I needed exercise I went for a walk.

I had the notion that real ladies don’t go to the gym.

Hot and sweaty is not something worth paying for.

Probably as a result of reading too many romance novels in my youth.

I'd slowly slid into a comfortable routine - collapsing on the couch after work and nibbling snacks (popcorn or cheese and crackers were a fav) for dinner, reading and napping until bedtime. My cat loved all the comfy lap time. My projects lay tucked away with little hope of completion.

Stuff piled up - and unless someone was coming over - it sat there. Then in a rush of "company housekeeping" it got ditched in the closet - not to be seen again.

Isn’t it amazing how we can hear the excellent advice about taking care of ourselves, believe it and ignore it.

At this time of my life, my body has given over being forgiving about such practices and now demands good care.

I walked at lunch and often on the weekends.

Surprisingly I always found dimes and sometimes quarters.

I walked on well-traveled paths - I had luck.

Then I got suspicious - after all - I was finding coins whenever I went out...even with others I spotted and picked up the change first.

It must be good luck!

I kept it in a pretty dish - often wondering about the meaning of all the change. Hmmmm, changes? Changing? Turn on a dime... penny for your thoughts? Penny wise...pound foolish? The Universe has a great sense of humor.

I suspected a weeks walking at lunch would not get me into instant shape - and a moment of truth was fast approaching.

I made the reservations and bought the tickets to take my grandson to Spain and Morocco for his graduation.

This summer.

Bus and trains means hauling luggage up and down and in and out - and me with it.

My company is quick to lower health care costs - and started a new program - that provides gym membership and a personal trainer - including a diet coach FREE.

Free - my favorite word. How could I resist? Just what I needed - a guide to keep me on track and accountable...and a strong healthy body for Europe.

Whatever idea I had about a quick easy work out - vanished on the first day. I'm not only stretching - I'm using weights. Heavy ones. With a coach who is watching. Sometimes when I finish I feel nauseated from the exertion -- years of lack of exertion. For weeks I ached - one body part at a time as we progressed through the routine. No trouble sleeping though.

Why do I continue? When I get home I'm full of energy - all my projects are done and I'm cleaning the gutters and painting the bathroom. And cooking.

I've discovered that exercising in the gym not only leads to weight loss, it strengthens the muscles. You know, the ones that allow you to carry your overloaded luggage in Europe. Heaven forefend that you should not have the exactly right outfit to wear to each historical site. I do. And now I can carry it.

My son stopped by and looked in the refrig, "Wow, is there a holiday I don't remember coming up?"

I seldom have extra food - until now that I'm working out.


I'm eating 5 times a day.

Three regular meals and two snacks all planned out in advance.

Good Food - Good Results!
I haven't eaten this much or cooked so much for myself in ten years. Well-balanced nutrition - the kind I recommend to my kids - is now going into my body.

Diets usually included bland food and little of it. Small wonder no one could stick to it long. I am now enjoying all of the foods I love, only prepared in a different way. And exercising means I'm burning off the excess and building a stronger body.

And two times a week I'm REQUIRED to junk-food out. It's mandatory to keep my body off guard and adjusting and metabolizing whatever I eat. Seems to work. I look forward to a sweet treat and I don't feel deprived of goodies.

The annually increasing tummy
is now nearly flat.


That, in an of itself, is cause for jubilation!

Take action - get results

It's only been three weeks - and I’m so excited about the way I feel now, both physically and mentally.

Such energy; no more old lady couch potato for me. I am out there getting it done.

My mental and physical well being are off the chart.

I know I'm no longer "aging" and slipping into declining years.

I've reversed the clock, my attitude and my lifestyle.

My body loves it.

I'm healthy and fit - and ready for bathing suit season on the sunny Mediterranean coast of Spain.

I don’t know if I can actually attribute it to the new exercise and nutrition regime, but I feel like I am more charming and delightful company.

Who knew it would affect relating with others.

I guess it’s just a byproduct of feeling good about myself.

After all: I did it.

Free even.

No wonder I'm happy.

Tales of Law of Attraction and Good Fortune

Zen Koans are a method of training the mind and are not a riddle or a puzzle. Contemplating a Koan leads to Inspiration - and Insight is your guide to comprehending your life and finding solutions.

The Law of Attraction is working for you, whether you know it or not.
by Sandy MacDonald

I’ve been divorced for years and I am my only means of financial support.

About 4 years ago I crashed financially and emotionally and spiritually. It took almost two years for me to get back on my feet.

Up to that time I'd been very fortunate. I had a very good job as a Human Resources Leader. As a member of the Executive Management Team my role was to manage all HR functions throughout the Canadian Division. Personally, I was able to enjoy and enjoyed many of the good things in life.

I had done some travelling, enjoyed my family, enjoyed live theatre, went to concerts. I was able to participate in life in ways that I found fulfilling without a second though. Then things changed.

For very good business reasons, my company decided to move my position to another city. I wasn't prepared to go with it. I'm very close to my two grandsons and didn't want to become an occasional visitor. I found myself without a job.

Being the optimist I am I thought, "No problem, I'll find a new job in no time."

I didn’t know about the Law of Attraction and I had some lessons to learn.

I did get interviews but always seemed to be the bridesmaid but not the bride. Not a single job offer! While I’d had a bit of a nest egg, it quickly dwindled and paying my bills became more and more difficult.

Putting pride in my pocket, I finally I had no choice but to ask for help.

The worse it gets the worse it gets.

My first surprise (and humiliation) was my best friend…I’ll call her Mary...of over 30 years was hesitant to help. Ultimately, I did move in with her and her sister. A disaster from the start! She gave me shelter but forgot to be my friend when it counted the most.

For someone who had always been as independent as I was it was an extremely difficult time. While the details don’t really matter “Mary” let me down in ways that finally ended our friendship.

I eventually came to understand it was time for our friendship to end. It left an emotional bruise that took a long time to heal. In combination with my financial problems, it was a very difficult and hurtful time.

Good Fortune flows like the tides: Sometimes in, sometimes out.
However, refusing to give in, I kept believing it would get better. My firm belief, "That the only person who can change your life is you," -- kept me going.

Many days I wanted to just pull the covers over my head and make the world go away. Instead, I kept repeating to myself, “If you’re going to change your life it is up to you to make it happen.”

I was scared to death but kept on searching anyway.

My way of dealing with fear is action.

I kept saying to myself, you have no choice but to push away the fear and keep working at finding that new job.

(I talked to myself a lot during those days!) I was continuing to interview with prospective employers, but nothing was clicking. Was it my age? Perhaps. (I decided to put that thought on “ignore”!) It was challenging, but I simply refused to give up.

New people…supportive people… started coming into my life. When you’re down and out you can feel so isolated. You lose the company of co-workers, lack of money prevents you from joining friends in activities…and the stress can be almost paralyzing.

For company, I would go to a job resource center every day. One of the career counselors, Becky, and I became friends and over time started talking about personal things. During one of our conversations I had shared with her my current living arrangement.

She very kindly invited (actually, she insisted) me to move in with her and leave behind what was a very difficult situation with my "best friend". (Thank you Universe!)

I took her up on it!

It was so much better emotionally.

She was fun to be around, and we became great “roomies”.

A huge weight had been lifted for me and I started to heal from the loss of a long time friend. She eventually moved to the States and I eventually again had my own place, but I will be eternally grateful for her friendship.

And the gratitude I feel towards those long time friends who were there for me in ways I could never have imagined will also be life long. One gave me the key to her house so I could use her computer, (I was living in one room and no home access) called me daily to give me a boost and put me in charge of her little dog during the day. He became my best buddy when he found out I was a soft touch for treats and to this day runs to his treat cupboard when I visit.

One of my closest friends is a great man I’ve known for over 20 years.

No romance, just a wonderful friendship.

During this time he was like a rock for me.

Every week he took me out to dinner, and every week I’d find money he had discreetly slipped into my pocket or purse…and asked for nothing in return. I am so blessed.

Within a short time after my move I was offered a good employment contract. I was still struggling but it was getting better. During this time, I met a group of people that raised my awareness of how your thoughts attract or detract from the "good" experiences in your life.

I had felt like a ship lost at sea. Associating with like-minded people gave me an anchor…a place where no one was judged, only supported. And how I needed that! Then, through this group, I had the opportunity to see "The Secret". The universe at work again! Did I mention that while I believed in positive thinking I had never heard of the Law of Attraction? “The Secret” gave me a broader perspective on what I had always believed. Negativity draws more negativity. Positive thoughts draw good things.

Was it a challenge to continue to think this way? You bet it was! I am basically a positive and optimistic person but my optimism had never been challenged like it had over those months!

If you want something - give it to others.
Late in 2006 while I was still living with “Mary”, I heard of a New Year's Day banquet for families and individuals less fortunate from shelters, subsidized housing, and homeless.

They were looking for volunteers to help set up and assist throughout the day. I saw it as a way of passing forward what had been given to me and I volunteered.

Commitment is the beginning
When I woke up the morning of that January 1, it was with anticipation for the day ahead. By nature, I enjoy helping others.

This was going to be a special day! I decided it was going to be special for me, too. I literally declared, "This is the Day my life changes for the better." (Talking to yourself does have benefits. No one argues with you!)

It was such a wonderful day. Five hundred and fifty people attendend. I have volunteered for different organizations throughout my life, but nothing compared to watching the smiling faces of the children and their families. From that point forward, my life did change ... and for the better.
