The Cinnamon Twist of Fate

The street-sweeper comes to our neighborhood early on Tuesday mornings. We’re requested to park in the driveway so he can get right up to the curb. It’s not a big deal to do, and our street always looks neat and clean.

A few weeks ago, we forgot to move our car. My husband, Patrick, and I heard the rumble of the equipment as it rounded the corner, but by the time we realized our car was blocking him, he’d already disappeared down the street, leaving behind the seed pods and other debris that normally collects during the week.

Patrick ran out of the house and jumped into the car. As the street-sweeper approached from the other side of the street, he flagged him down. Using universal sign language, he pleaded his case with his hands and his eyes. The sweeper obliged. He made a U-turn and the end of the block and came back on our side of the street, slowly and carefully making sure he collected everything in his path.

With more sign language, Patrick thanked him sincerely and with much emotion. The sweeper smiled and tipped his hat. Patrick felt grateful all day. In fact, he felt grateful the next day too. He decided to do something nice for the sweeper in return.

I should mention here that Patrick has an addiction. There is a bakery in town that makes Cinnamon Twists, and he’ll use any excuse to head over to that part of town to pick up a few. Sometimes, they don’t even make it home.

A plan was hatched. He would buy a Cinnamon Twist for the street-sweeper late Monday afternoon (so it would still be fresh and delicious on Tuesday), and wait for the truck to hand him the prize.

I should also mention that Patrick has many endearing qualities. One of them is his childlike enthusiasm. Oh, yes…and his generous heart. All week, he looked forward to Monday and his “mission.” When Monday finally arrived, he could hardly wait to buy the Cinnamon Twist. (Of course, he fortified himself with one on the way home…)

Tuesday morning shined brightly. We were sitting at breakfast when we heard the familiar rumble. Patrick leaped out of his chair, grabbed the bag he’d set aside with the pastry and some napkins, and dashed out the door. I watched from the window.

He waved madly, flagging the truck to a halt. He reached up with his offering and the driver looked positively stunned. He took the bag, smelled the inviting cinnamon scent and smiled the biggest smile we’d ever seen. He yelled over the din, “Thanks, man!” and tooted the horn as he disappeared down the street.

Patrick was elated. It made his day. His elation and the driver’s obvious delight made my day. And even though the incident was small, I know that the ripple effect of the kindness touched everyone in our paths that day…and it reverberates throughout the world even now.

Consider yourself touched by the Cinnamon Twist of Fate too! And please pass it on…

 

Uplifting New Novel by Beth McCain

Did you ever wonder if you have a Guardian Angel or Spirit Guide? Did you ever try to figure out why you're here, how you got here or what you're supposed to do while you're here? Good news! Law of Attraction teacher, author and friend, Beth McCain, has gifted the world with her first novel, And Then They Were, which weaves together the stories of wonderful characters on the Earth plane and the Spirit Guides and Angels who watch over them. I was completed absorbed in the story and felt loved and protected when I turned the last page. (I was also sad to have finished the book...but the messages stay with me.)

Beth, and her husband Lee, are authors of seven positive thought & LOA books, films, & are publishers of the Indicator magazine. I was a student of their LOA Boot Camp and my own understanding of the laws of the Universe exploded!

Is An LOA Vacation In Your (Near) Future?

Let Law of Attraction be your Travel Agent! Linda Grunewald has a very intriguing idea...  Read on if you need some R&R in paradise with like-minded folks!

"I am a believer and practitioner in the LOA of Attraction, and as such I know that I create what I think about and focus upon. 

I've had an intention for some time of being surrounded by like-minded people for the rest of my life.  While I have a core group of friends who believe and practice the LOA also, besides those few, I have no one to talk to about these wonderful things.

I had the privilege and joy of being able to stay in the laid back tropical paradise of Key West, Florida all last winter, and I longed to do so again.  But other than a few friends and relatives, much of the time last year I found myself alone.

I was thinking about returning this winter when all of a sudden a stream of thought poured into my head that felt simply glorious and overwhelmed me!  The thought told me to rent a large house again in Key West and invite everyone from around the world who believed and practiced the Law of Attraction to join me, and they would show up.  I was also guided not to make this into a seminar or workshop or any structured-type thing but to invite all Law of Attraction believers to partake in a happy, frolicking, restful, co-creating experience.  That's when I realized that, in doing this, I would be surrounded by like-minded people just as I had been asking for.

The story of the amazing things that happened next are documented on my hastily made website that has been running only a few weeks.  I have added a link below in case you would like to read it for yourself.  I am still in awe and wonder of it all.

And here is where I am asking for your help.  If you have any clients or know of others who adhere to the beliefs in the Law of Attraction who might like to join me for a week or more between Jan. 4 through March 29, 2009….or those not attending the Abraham Mexican cruise…..please forward this information along with the sincerity of my intentions.

The house I rented is a 5 bedroom Villa that includes an almost 50 foot luxurious heated pool, lush tropical totally private enclosed yard with outdoor lighting and music speakers, a separate private carriage house, rooms decorated with fabulous antiques and the best of everything.  I am making 4 rooms per week available at $143 per night which is an unbelievable price for Key West where rent is usually $450-$550 per night for not anything even half as fabulous as this.

Please note:  Even if I manage to book all four rooms each of the twelve weeks…..I will not be making money on this deal. 

Maybe after I see how this winter goes, I will decide to host these getaways year round.  But for now…..this is NOT a business.  This winter will be the first part of a very happy manifestation for me, and I can hardly wait to see how it unfolds.

If you need a place to recharge your batteries and would like the chance to do so with other like-minded adults in a very relaxing yet fun way, I would love to meet you, too.

Of course, I realize that you must have questions about me.  And I would be most happy to call and talk so we can at least meet by voice.  Just send me your phone number and the best time to call.

Please pass this information on to anyone you feel may be interested.

And I thank you for reading this.

New Album, New Website, New Day

Hooray! My newest album, REACH UP, is finally here. It says so in the Press Release and is being celebrated with a brand new website devoted to, um, me.

The good folks at CD BABY, the largest, most reliable, most fun and friendly site to buy independent music, have taken all three of my albums and conveniently put them all on one page. How cool is that? Very! Plus, you can listen to music samples, buy the CDs or download MP3s directly from the site, and write reviews of the music, which of course, would be VERY helpful to me. (Hint, hint.)

So read the release (if you're so inclined), listen to the music samples, get a FREE DOWNLOAD of one of my favorite songs from REACH UP when you visit SandiKimmel.com. The song is called "For Goodness Sake," and it was inspired by the teachings of Abraham, as shared by Jerry & Esther Hicks. There are a number of songs on the new album that I call  Law of Attraction Music, written to help you "stay tuned" to a positive vibration. If you like it, please "play it forward" (as in, tell all your friends about this music that will help you keep your spirits up...even in challenging times!)

Is this shameless self-promotion? Well, here's the thing. If I don't tell you all this great news, how will you know??

Spring Cleaning With Law of Attraction

The days are getting longer and the buds on the trees are beginning to burst. What a wonderful time of year to be awake and alive! And this year, with a little help from Law of Attraction, you can clean more than the cobwebs from the corners of your house.

First, let's explore the hottest buzzword of the decade, Law of Attraction. Simply stated, it means, "like attracts like." There are many ways that's expressed in our culture, such as 'birds of a feather flock together' or 'misery loves company.' What those expressions are communicating is that at the deepest level, we create our own reality based on our thoughts. It's not just the thoughts that shape our lives; it's how we feel about what we're thinking about. Or, as Abraham-Hicks says it, "how you feel and what you get are always a match."

At first, that may seem too daunting to even contemplate! But as you begin to work with this ancient universal spiritual principle, you come to appreciate its equanimity and even-handedness. That's when the fun begins!

Does that mean you have to monitor every thought you think? Of course not! That would be impossible…and not a lot of fun. What is does mean is that the more you pay attention, the more you'll notice what subjects trigger negative feelings and what subjects trigger positive ones. That's where spring-cleaning comes in!

Let's say you want a relationship in your life. How does that thought make you feel? Are you excited at the prospect? Or depressed that it hasn't happened yet? Do you believe you'll meet the mate of your dreams? Or do you believe "all the good ones are taken?"

What about money? Do you believe you can have as much as you want? Or do you think you'll always need more? Are you someone who feels rich, no matter how much you have in the bank? Or do you feel poor, no matter how much you have in the bank? What other negative declarative statements are you harboring in your closet?

Spring-cleaning can bring you face to face with your long-held negative beliefs. A belief is only a thought we keep thinking. Sometimes, they are transparent beliefs – we don't even realize we're holding them until we look closely and see how they're holding us back!

Here are some spring-cleaning tips to help you get on track for all of your greatest desires:

1. Make a list of the most important parts of your life. The list might include relationships, job, money, home, family, friends.
2. Write down whatever comes into your mind about those subjects.
3. Read what you've written with an awareness of how your beliefs shape your reality. Are there any thoughts or beliefs you might want to change? Great! You've found the hidden dust-bunnies!
4. Write affirmative statements in the present tense about the subjects you've chosen. For example, "I am living the life of my dreams with my soulmate." Or, "I have a wonderful job that pays me more money than I need."

In the same way you go through your closet at the start of the season, take some time to go through your beliefs and change the ones that don't serve you. Not only will you start manifesting more quickly, you'll find more room in your closet for a whole wardrobe of new thoughts!

Abraham on God

Abraham, the best teacher of Law of Attraction on the planet (also known as Abraham-Hicks, channeled by Esther Hicks) has just released a powerful explanation to the question: What is God? See the YouTube video here. It is truly 8 minutes of Paradise and will make your day...or your money back! :-)
