At the end of her holiday letter this year, a friend of ours said that her motto for 2008 was going to be “expect the expected.”

I think that’s a pretty good motto for all of us to adopt. It pretty much sums up the idea behind the Law of Attraction in one neat little phrase.

Of course, we first need to know what to expect. We do that by becoming very clear about what it is that we want for our lives and then leave it up to the Universe to provide it.

We don’t have to know how it will happen, we just need to “place our order” so to speak, get out of the way, and then expect our desire to show up.

And then be very grateful when it does!

So, for all of 2008 (and beyond), expect the expected!

Tell me this:

What are you expecting in 2008?

This past week a group of us gathered together on the phone (just like we always do on the last Wednesday of every month) and talked about the Law of Attraction and how that fits in with the recent California fires. We also shared with a caller some helpful ways of looking at using the principles of the Law of Attraction when you've just started a new job, you've got 90-days to prove yourself and you're afraid you won't make it.

You can listen to that call by clicking here, then clicking on October 31.

After the call, a first time participant emailed to tell me that she enjoyed the call, found it to be enlightening and a fun group of people to be with and remarked that she was glad to learn that I was a real person and not just some anonymous entity hiding behind the internet.

She reminded me that we are all part of a larger community of people who share the same struggles and who want the same things from life.

For the longest time I've moved through life, always trying to solve my own problems, trying to keep up the appearance that I've got my stuff together and that nothing fazes me, when in truth I struggle with the same problems that everyone else does and sometimes I get things right and sometimes I don't.

The difference now, though, is that I've got a community of people that support me in my struggles and I support them. It is so much nicer when we're all in this together.

So you're cordially invited to join my wonderful community of like-minded souls. It doesn't cost you a thing. Take what is helpful and contribute your unique wisdom when you're moved to do so. It would be great to hear your voice on the next discussion group call on Wed., Nov. 28th at 7pm Eastern time.

In the meantime, just know that I'm here for you and I know you're here for me.

Namaste.
