Albert Einstein said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge” As we celebrate all we are learning about reading and writing, we are also joining our imaginations together to create something beautiful.
“IMAGINE: What Kind of World Do You Want?” is about coming together to dream a dream using our thoughts, words, actions, and most importantly our imaginations to help our dreams come true. Thoughts are powerful. Words are powerful. Actions are powerful. Dreams are powerful. And knowledge i…

You 2 have the same birthday! Serendipity, psychokenisis........

Dear Sir:
You will be coming to our town on February 12, 2009 to pay tribute to our "first citizen", Abraham Lincoln. It is so fitting and right.
I am a teacher at Iles Elementary School who totally believes in this President. I believe in your plan to call people into service. I believe in your ability to mobilize people on a soul level to reach out to one another. I believe you wear that mantle of greatness shared by Lincoln, Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. And I believe you have what…

Dear Co-Creators,
Isn't this adventure exciting and surprising? I was contacted this week by John Ondrasik from Five for Fighting. Check out his site
whatkindofworlddoyouwant.com
Our Writer's Conference for our students this year will have the theme, 'What Kind of World Do You Want?", which is from John's song "World". He wrote and gave permission to use it. This is an amazing manifestation for me. I am hoping he might come.
Last year, our theme was "Become the Change You Want To See" (Gandhi)…

Hey Andie...
After I watched your Illuminted Journey vlog, this opportunity presented itself to me. Because the New Moon stage encourages us to step out, and what you mentioned that in your comments to me, I sent this in. Let's see what the Universe is cooking up!! I will look forward to co-creator's feedback on this one!
I recently saw Dr. Bolte Taylor on Oprah's "Soul Series" and listened to her on "Fresh Air" with Terry Gross. I am an elementary school teacher, specifically a Student Support…

I am so grateful for the manifestations in my life and I am thinking BIG! I am praying about what I REALLY want. And the timing, too.... For example, I want a cute red sports car, but not until a couple of years from now. So, do I post it now or wait?
I REALLY want to meet Louise Hay, and I REALLY want to teach my students about affirmations and using their minds...... So, I guess I will include that in my next vision vid.
Hey, I have an idea, let's all visualize Oprah doing a show about this co…

May is a significant month for me, because I am a teacher. Teachers are wired differently than most people. We have this internal clock that sounds an alarm in middle May and August. Kind of like the tornado sirens last night.
When we here those tornado sirens, we get our dogs, candles, flashlights, blankets, spare clothes, food and other necessities and head to the basement with our battery operated televsion and radio. Sometimes the power goes out, sometimes not. Sometimes there is rain, thun…

I feel so positive because we did a kid friendly version of vision boards this week. Each week when I do classroom presentations we take time to "make a wish". So, at the school year's end, I have been hearing so many stories about manifesting their "wishes" "dreams" "goals" "intentions".....I don't really care how they label them....whatever works. Please keep in mind that many of these students face some astounding obstacles. Here are some memorable quotes.
"I wished my mom and dad would get…

Day 18 of My 100 Day Reality Challenge
Today my intentions are a peaceful heart, better health while saying yes to every present moment.
At church today is our "May Crowning", and I love the concept of honoring the feminine. Mary is called , "The Fiat" in that she said yes when the angel announced she would become pregnant with God's Son.
Whether you believe this story as literal or not, the value is the same. Mary is the icon of the deep "yes" to any present situation. I often wonder if Mary h…
