EVER THOUGHT...
I have been a seeker of universal answers from a very young age. In the telling of my story, I may express beliefs I hold that you do not. For example, I believe in reincarnation, and it's ok if we disagree. I hope that if you listen to what I have experienced in my own life, you will find keys that help you grow into a better person.
You see, I have always been passionate about growth and transformation. I haved always asked the BIG questions about the universe, and my exposure to religion didn't give me the answers I needed. I was determined to have a direct experience of our creator.
But have you found that it can be difficult to admit your weaknesses and change them? To face your ego and your character traits that need upgrading? You see, doing the work of being self empowered entails learning to let go of the false identity and being able to realize the true self.
When I came to California and began studying yoga under a Yoga Master, I quickly realized the extent of my limitations. I was arrogant. I pushed myself hard and thought everyone else should too. I drove results from my will center but lacked a connection to my own heart. I judged myself for not accomplishing enough, not making enough money, not building a big enough business. I was never satisfied with my accomplishments.
like money! It was uncomfortable for me to be around rich people; I felt I didn't fit in. I felt like a fake. My arrogance was protection, so people couldn't see how I really felt. I worked hard because I loved to work and because it was also a way to avoid all the turmoil inside myself. As long as I stayed in survival or victim mode, I didn't have to work on myself or accept my own destiny.
Practicing yoga and learning to live in a state of harmony means not being able to hide my weaknesses anymore. But eventually I did learn to heal my childhood damage. In the process, I repeated my main spiritual practice of learning the art of surrender and letting go.
At 35, while I maneuvered a divorce, split up our business, and created a two-home environment for our child, I was stressed beyond my body's ability to cope. And that's when my heart stopped multiple times, and I nearly died.
I hope you read it to see if you relate to my experience. Feel how I stuffed my emotions and personal needs aside because I had a business to run and a two-year-old son to raise. I didn't know how to put myself first, nor did I understand what self-care truly meant. Can you relate?
What was my calling and purpose for this life? Do you have these same callings? My desire to relate to knowing the truth was urgent and consistent, and to this day, I still feel compelled to experience spirit up close and direct.
But that's when the NDE found me and threw my world into a tailspin for the next 20+ years. The experience of nearly dying was just the tip of the iceberg. Learning to incorporate what I had experienced on the other side was the real journey. I struggled with how to express who I now knew myself to be as well as what I knew to be true. The good news is you can learn from what I went through and grow spiritually as a result.
I had a memory of being on the other side, my energy would instantly go there and render me useless in normal life. My old world was being destroyed to usher in my new life. A much better life that brought me a rebirth of my childhood enthusiasm, as well as an abundance of joy, peace, productivity, and fulfillment. And, I promise you this - reading what happened to me and how I responded to that life challenge is guaranteed to inspire you in your own life.
Are there areas in your life where you do not put yourself first?
Do you struggle to get from point A to B and often feel stuck?
Does everyone in the family come before you and your needs?
Do you have any idea who you indeed are, your life purpose, and what you want from your life?
If you are anything like me then, you might never find the time to get answers to those questions. But you can tangibly learn from my NDE as well as discover the proven practices I created that will improve the quality of your own life.
When you read Always Choose Love, every issue described above will come entirely under your creative control. No longer will you feel like life tosses you around as if you are traveling in a boat without oars. Living like a victim will become part of your past.
You will learn to let go of struggling to produce from your will center (the masculine way), which can keep you trapped in your mind. Instead, you will experience how to open your heart to a natural flow of surrender into peace, abundance, and fulfillment. Then you can invite joy and peace into your life, and your world will never feel the same again!
There's no doubt in my mind that my six-step system can help you create your unique way of living that fulfills your wildest dreams
... and so much more. Because it did just that for me!
I wrote MY STORY because I had to! This work is my calling, and the wisdom and methods outlined in Always Choose Love are how I live my own life.
You see, I never was that little girl who dreamed of a white dress and picket fence. I have been on a spiritual journey since Day One.
I remember one cold morning in Canada when at the age of 4, I woke my reluctant mother to ask her to take me to church. When she inquired why I needed to go to church, I responded, "I need to talk to God." For me, that need felt urgent, and it always has.
My life has been a series of challenges. Isn't every sojourner's? I talk about the significant opportunities in my eBook, including growing up impoverished in a home where my mom struggled with mental illness and suicidal tendencies.
I left home home at 16 to attend University and moved away from Canada, arriving in California at the age 22 and on my own. I became an entrepreneur, and raised my child as a single parent. Damn near died twice, and always found myself on my own without attachments to people or place.
MANY TALK ABOUT FINANCIAL SUCCESS
That question has bothered me most of my life...
Because I knew one thing for sure, money is not the answer to everything,
yet many people still perceive it to be a main indicator for success.
I stood in the presence of Divine Love, and that experience transformed me and my life significantly for the better. Looking back over my spiritual journey, I identified the steps I repeatedly engaged in that resulted in real-life changes.
I became able to live in the present moment, calm my thoughts at will, and as a result, create my unique play with the universe. Life became fun as I made more choices and watched energy produce magic for me. I understood how to let go of victim consciousness completely and claim my personal independence and freedom.
I wanted others to know the quality feeling of what unconditional love can bring to their lives. I wanted to share the states of being I discovered.
They included:
*a deeper sense of peace and joy throughout my life,
*an ever-new love of life and all of its spiritual facets,
*a more profound level of compassion, and
*a remarkable ability to focus on what I want to create.
Throughout my spiritual journey, the concept of surrendering my ego and accepting life as it is has been my main life lesson. To live in the present moment and create a harmony of body, mind, and spirit. But I first had to learn how to connect to my inner self, and that guidance from your true self is what carries you across the goal line.
Looking back, I realized there were six main themes that I created and practiced often. And thus, the Six-Step Essential Empowerment model was born.
As you read Always Choose Love, you discover how these puzzle pieces of the six-step system work and fit together. Then you can begin to create your unique journey, and I call it the Shero's Journey.
If you genuinely feel like you are here to serve a purpose that only you can do, you are in the right place. My eBook guides you to ask the right questions to get the kind of clarity you need to live your authentic life.
In addition, this eBook will shape in you what I call the critical 4Cs:
Are you ready to play and begin seeing magic happen in your life? Can you leave behind feeling alone, undervaluing
yourself, and being afraid to be seen? What about being in an authentic relationship with yourself and others?
Always Choose Love takes the onus off midlife. In fact, the author helps you make the shift from approaching midlife with dread, to looking forward to the excitement, freedom and sense of your own potential that can come at or after midlife.
The way Ms. Taylor shares her personal story of transformation makes her six steps not only credible, but very accessible. Ms. Taylor’s near-death experience and childhood experiences brought me to tears and inspired me. Her near-death experience was very motivating. I didn’t want to spend another minute not having the potential and love Ms. Taylor says is possible. Her personal journey made me believe that if she had a more fulfilling, love-filled life after going through these six steps, it can work for me too.
Most empowerment books talk about the process and what’s available, but they don’t tell you clearly how to get there. I remember giving my daughter, who needed some help with her love life, a book on changing your thinking and opening to greater potential. Her response to the book was that it was interesting, but the author didn’t tell you how to do it. So, the book left her hanging. One of the things that is most impacting about Always Choose Love is that you are given very concrete steps and techniques to achieve the opportunities Ms. Taylor suggests are available to us.
Ms. Taylor makes what she calls the “Sheros Journey” very inviting, and I am excited about my own Sheros Journey. She says the Shero not only experiences love but also brings that love back to others. That’s just what Ms. Taylor does with this book.
What’s more, this book is very easy to read and the techniques are very clear. I have a busy schedule, and I really liked that you could read this book in snippets when you have time. Or you might get so engaged in it that you couldn’t put it down. The techniques in the six steps don’t take long to do, but the results are so dynamic, I wanted to give them more and more time.
