There are several locations between Sacramento, California and Reno, Nevada that offer opportunities to pan gold. 

While panning gold you can see numerous sparking flecks of minerals including gold in the water. To actually acquire a sizable amount of gold; many pans of debris need to be sifted. 

Like any successful endeavor you may experience many failures prior to victory. 

Slow and steady wins the race and the lesson to be learned lies in the persistence necessary to be triumphant. 

Even when you don’t see any immediate results; stay the course. 

Some goals require more time and attention than others. 

Just Keep Going! 

I love a blank sheet of paper or canvas; it’s full of possibilities. 

Whether it’s creating imagery on canvas, writing words of wisdom or pouring out my heart and soul; there is no better place to share remotely. 

Sharing our thoughts and emotions help others to get to know us and strengthens our relationships; from the very personal to the casual acquaintance. 

Even written dialog can be relatable and resonate on a deep level that we may not necessarily share with anyone but I do because I’ve heard from many of you “I really needed to hear that today’. You’re welcome! 

For me, listening to audiobooks instead of watching a movie on a Sunday afternoon is transformative. It’s a great visualization exercise for my imagination. 

I allow myself to be drawn in, relate to the subjects and envision all their cues; consequently admiring the writing style and descriptiveness of the story. I love the layers. 

I feel the voice of the characters and their perils aside from the narrator. It’s important to connect, digest another’s point of view and enjoy the ride of their imagination. 

Often, the opportunity arises for my own creative juices to flow; so a pen and pad is always nearby. 

We all have had a moment of real clarity during interaction; these occasions are not necessarily rare inspired instances. Take advantage of these moments and see where these thoughts lead you. 

Totally unrelatable solutions are frequently an unexpected surprise. 

Stay Open To The Possibilities! 

Our own personal needs are laid to the side and eventually become non- existent. 

Never be afraid to erase the entire board and start from scratch. 

Sometimes we have to wipe the slate clean or walk away then return to get a new vision for our goals. 

Anything that you can do to refresh the atmosphere will put you in a different state of mind. 

Brainstorming requires the generation of a minimum of 100 new ideas at a time. 

Don’t worry about how good they are initially; just keep putting those ideas out there. 

It’s like priming a well; the good stuff is always further down and soon the water will run clear. 

Just Don’t Give Up! 

There are surfers who travel the world in search of the perfect wave. 

They realize that once they swim out into the water they only have to position themselves in what they think is the perfect spot to enjoy the natural flow of the approaching currents. 

Everything has energy and an associated current. 

Living a life where you’re operating on a spiritual flow is dramatically different than a physical life. 

Functioning from this vantage point provides a unique advantage and supersedes our usual preconceived notions. Meditation allows you to maneuver in this arena. 

Allowing your spirit to connect prior to events sets the stage for your desired outcome. 

So before you leave the house; spend a few minutes meditating on today’s desired outcomes. Then watch how your day unfolds. 

Surf’s Up! 

There is a fine balance between sacrificing yourself or someone else. 

Occasionally we are put in situations where we know a choice has to be made. 

Pull the energy out of what is not needed so old attachments can fade away. 

See yourself in the eye of the storm being unaffected and the remaining activities radiating with light waiting to be manifested. 

A higher power shines this brilliant light; any beliefs that prevent you from seeing it as being real are removed. Intuition is guiding you into a flow and ideas come just as you need them; order and organization flows one into another in a perfect sequence. 

You are greatly illuminated and break thru any boundaries or limitations; your intention will match this new level of light and the small quiet voice will lead you on. 

Hold on to this energy that will govern the way you want to feel. No pulling or pushing is necessary; the flow will deliver you to where you’re supposed to be. 

Stay open to your intuition and keep listening to the voice. 

Follow The Light…EVERY TIME!
