”I attended the Lifestory Transformation workshop today as part of my certification process. My mind has completely shifted into a new level of manifesting and I thought I was pretty good at it, already.
I seriously feel like I was just handed the final puzzle piece, except it is more like I just discovered I had it all along!

”I've been rewriting my life story, and I'm incredibly humbled by how many things from my old one have come into my life in the last few months, some small things and also some pretty big things. Here's my list so far of the seeds that were planted a few short months ago that have since been harvested: a tutor to help me with homeschooling my kids 3 days a week (thanks Jo!), the humanitarian trip to Ghana last fall, my online BodyTalk scheduler (thanks Dan!), many, many incredible downloads of ideas/creativity, attracting specific people I need to move projects forward, opportunities to express gratitude, some pretty cool developments for each of my kids, an annual rec center pass, a coaching biz that Tom and I do together, a speeding up of my ability to manifest, Tom being a full-time dad, a LIFEstory Transformation website, people paying me more than I charge, a coaching certification program, and speaking at least twice a month, just to name a few. All of these were non-existent when I wrote them in my LIFEstory but have pretty miraculously come to pass.

I'm so GRATEFUL for my life and the understanding I have gained on how to consciously create it!! Yes...grateful!!!
”During my last rewrite a few weeks ago, I added that my son was accepted into the Montessori school I have been hoping he could attend. I have been told numerous times that his grade is the most full, has the longest waiting list and he'll be lucky to make it in next year. Can you all guess why I'm posting this?! As Becky Richards Rogers would say, "Well, of course he made it in!" Someone must have moved and opened a spot and he was the one "randomly" chosen. He starts tomorrow! Write your LifeStory people, write your Story!
I also wrote into my story that I'd have a massage every month and that my massage therapist would love to trade oils for her service. I've never had massages before so this was a shot in the dark. Within two weeks, my son won a massage at our chiropractor. Since he's 10, I easily traded him a treat for the massage. After a wonderful experience connecting with this beautiful woman, Susan Greenwell, we scheduled a monthly 90 minute massage in exchange for essential oils. Feeling blessed!

”I have a beautiful online system for my clients to book appointments with me. They easily go to my website and choose the time that is best for them. This helps with my time boundaries and allows me to spend more efficient time with my family, as well as my clients. It feels wonderful knowing my time is respected, valued, and used to my greatest capacity.

”In November 2015, I travel with Mitch, along with other members of my family, including children, and friends to Ghana to teach LIFEstory and to meet the people from Mitch’s mission. While in Ghana, we visit orphanages and schools, bring supplies, bring healing, and spread the love of Christ to the people there. We meet our brothers and sisters waiting for us there, and we build lifelong relationships as we fulfill our preearthly commitments. We teach 3 LIFEstory workshops in schools and churches there, and people are excited and grateful for what they learn. We are blessed with divine connections all along our way and feel the hand of God in the work that we do. Heavenly Father blesses me with the right people for this trip, it is a win-win for everyone.
Today, I'm expanding on this story and writing the next chapter!!! Yes, it is bigger. Yes, it is more specific and will continue to be more so. I love transformation!!

”In August 2015, Tom and I attend a special sealing session in commemoration of our own vows 25 years ago. As part of renewing our vows in this way, we jump on a plane in August 2015 and leave for a week-long vacation to Hawaii.
On this Hawaii trip, we reward Carmen for her hard work and preparation in getting into BYU, and we also build that special relationship with our daughter as she prepares to leave home. We get a killer deal on airfare, and have the perfect vacation in paradise. We thoroughly enjoy the Polynesian Cultural Center, hiking Diamond Head, visiting Pearl Harbor, and playing on the beach. We are able to visit with Yukina and attend the temple when we are on Oahu. We witness unbelievable rainbows, perfect temperatures (I maybe should have specified what those were), and the spirit of the Islands. It is so fun and exciting to be able to relax with each other and just enjoy each other’s company.
Tom and I are perfect business partners that work together with one heart, willing and eager to lend a hand and offer creative ideas and solutions with love. Our businesses meld into one, just as we are, perfectly complimentary in every way." (Which also happened on this trip. Look for details coming within a few days of some VERY exciting stuff!!

”I have experienced a shift in my thinking as a result of becoming more aware of my words/expression of thoughts. For instance, for decades there have been not-too-kind thoughts about my body in my mind when I see it in the bathroom mirror (and I have worked on being kind to myself for quite awhile, but it was pretty much a challenge of catching myself and redirecting my thoughts). However, after writing a draft of my LIFEstory on the topic of 'Body' just 2 days ago, I was pleased to hear in my mind a completely different dialogue with an empowering energy the next time I came upon the mirror, which was something like "I am so pleased with how you are working to be your best self, and it feels so good! Keep it up! You got this!" What a difference!

”I also penned that I understood the needs of my children and have promptings of how to reach them in the times they need me most. I have seen that happening over and over in the last couple of months. I have a greater understanding of what they really need in a circumstance and I am able to feel like I am making a difference no one else can.
So many many things. I wrote in my business section that my non-profit had all the funding it needed and that gifted fundraisers would come to me seeking opportunities to help in our efforts to raise enough funds for our cause. Within weeks that started happening, I'm now up to a team of 5 who are focused on doing just that.

”I was just re-vamping my LifeStory and I came across this description of the bootcamp I held last month. I wrote a very clear description of a live event I was going to do, but didn't even know what it was. I wrote how I wanted it to go and what it would feel like. It was so fun to re-read it and see that it DID totally turn out that way! I had forgotten I'd even written it in there. It was my first live event and I didn't know if I could make it happen, but I put it in the LifeStory and it changed things in my brain. Powerful stuff!

”This has been a landmark year for missionary technology products. The Portal has been transformed, rebuilt on a new toolset, and serves as a powerful channel for improved missionary learning and teaching. The design and experience are extraordinary. People write in all the time saying how pleased they are with the Missionary Portal. It is flexible, reliable, and easy to use. My heart is filled with love and appreciation for others.
"We hired Andy on full time. [He] is managing the Portal himself. It's time to leave the Missionary Department. I have done what I needed to do. [2017] has a lot in store for us and we need to focus."
I gave notice last week. My last day at work is April 29.

”I'm not ready to post this publicly, but wanted to update you on the amazing things that have happened in the last 3 1/2 months.
Just after you left Travis was offered a job with a company that is conducting the first legal CBD trials in Utah. He had hardly worked for over 5 months and they knew this but felt their product would help. Within 2 weeks he was working full time again and our income had nearly doubled!
He has continued to get better, not out of the woods yet, but a night and day difference from just a few months ago.
We've been able to get off all welfare, up to date on all our expenses, and casually started house hunting. That turned up a place in Springville (not where we were looking) that about an hour after we went through it, I realized that it had the potential for almost everything on my wish list! Friday evening all the pieces came together and we are scheduled to close on October 6th! This will be our first house! No more renting!
The day I texted you about figuring out boundaries and responsibilities for WHEN resulted in a a phone call from our president saying she has been ill and was stepping down and no longer homeschooling. This was a huge surprise but explained why nothing was happening int hat arena. I felt it was my turn and after several days of figuring out how the heck that was going to work accepted the position of the new president. That has been a fun project ! I'm am definitely learning a ton!
And the high note of the year: My baby turned 4 on Sunday and is finally potty-trained! She was dry all last week night and day! I have seriously arrived!
I am excited to keep this momentum going, I still haven't taken my BT test, that had to be back-burnered for a while, but I'm getting some decent practice in and getting to use all my advanced stuff. The new house has a place for my BodyTalk room, so that will be awesome!

”I love using the tools taught in Life Story Transformation. The process has been proven to me over and over again. The words we use in our thoughts & writing carry power. The gift of visualization is one that we under utilize too much in our lives. When you change your story you can change your life. This is one of my consistent go to’s in creating the life I want.
Just one example from our brain proof book. Our family created the story of an epic trip to Italy. We had limited funds and needed several things to miraculously resolve in order to even bring this into the realm of possibility. We storied it out down to the smallest details. It took a few years but then once the opportunity fit all our needs everything fell into place really quickly. We got 6 free plane tickets which drastically reduced the price! We were able to go for 8 days on the exact Epic adventure we had storied and we will never forget it.

”Over the years I have invested a lot of time and energy into personal development programs. While many of them helped me with mindset, LifeStory Transformation allowed me to develop patience in the process! I love that it teaches from an energy of receiving inspiration and then acting on it, rather than just taking action, which is more in alignment with how I manifest what I want in my life.

”There came a time in my pickleball career that I wanted to get sponsored. I had no idea how that would happen but I decided to set the intention. I wrote out in my life story all about getting sponsored and I originally wrote it with a specific sponsor, my dream sponsor - Paddletek. After writing it sponsor specific I didn’t feel quite right about it. I spoke with my LifeStory coach at the time and she suggested I re write it without being specific as to who my sponsor was but as to how I wanted that relationship to feel. I rewrote it generically, crossed my fingers and waited. A few days later I was practicing with a friend that had recently been sponsored by another company called Onix. He asked if I would play in an upcoming pro tournament with him. I replied “Sure if Onix wants to pay my $100 entry fee too!” He suggested I reach out to their player ambassador and ask what it would take to play for team Onix. Within a week I had a signed sponsorship agreement in hand with Onix! This sponsorship gave me the financial means and exposure to get to some bigger tournaments. Flash forward 6 months- I am playing for Team Onix at the US Open of Pickleball in Florida. I make an outstanding run at the tournament and come home with 2 medals, a whole lot of street credibility AND a new sponsorship offer from none other than my dream sponsor Paddletek!!!!
A few months after signing with Paddletek a once in a lifetime opportunity was presented to me. Paddletek was sending a handful of their players to Europe for a 2 week promotional tour and to play in the Bainbridge Cup (US vs Europe). Did I mention all my expenses paid and my husband got to go with me? The only catch- this was a last min thrown together trip. I had 4 weeks to get my and my husband’s passports renewed, find child care for my two children one of which is disabled, and have my husband get 4 days covered for him at work for the fire department. I wasn’t just going to have to move one mountain to make this happen but multiple. And to top it off my husband and I were not doing well and were currently seeing a therapist. So I storied the living daylights out of this scenario.
I storied how we were going to make all the arrangements for the family at home and how smooth it would run while we were gone. Within 2 days we had child care covered and everyone was healthy and happy the entire time mom and dad were gone.
I storied and spent lots of time in studio over those passports. We literally had a 3 day wiggle room on them getting back to us in time. They made it 10 days in advance of the trip! I storied how this trip was going to be rejuvenation for my husband and my relationship. We typically fought in high stress situations and we were going to be traveling A LOT over the course of the 2 weeks. In fact we missed our trans atlantic flight on the first leg of our journey due to bad weather. We had multiple other traveling issues- bad weather in France resulting in detoured landings, sitting in planes, etc. I got sick from gluten exposure the last night of the tournament in Spain. There were lots of reasons for us to be at each other’s throats and yet we weren’t. We stuck together and enjoyed seeing new places and playing the sport we both love.
Another intention update on my life story and pickleball. My pickleball idol became my coach last february and this spring is now my doubles partner. it is amazing what intention, patience and a bit of dedication can make happen.
Last fall i wrote that i would be friends with top level players and that they would be free with their tips and advice to grow my game. 2 months after that I went to nationals where I hit it off with Sarah- my idol and her wife Linh. In february they invited me to meet them in Vegas to help me with my game. for free! They worked with me one on one for 3 days which would have cost over $1000 if I had paid them. when I was writing free i was meaning that they were very open and helpful not necessarily that it wouldn’t cost me anything. shows how powerful words are, so pretty much my pb career is a huge testimonial for life story no matter how you look at it.

”At one point, I had a desire to go to Africa to do humanitarian projects. The only problem was that I had no time, no money, and I didn’t know anyone who had ever done anything like that. I wrote down one line in my LIFEstory about going to Africa to do humanitarian work. I thought perhaps eventually I could receive some kind of inspiration to bring about this miracle. Imagine my surprise when, within 10 months, I found myself in Kenya with a team that I could observe and learn from. That experience alone changed EVERYTHING in my life and how I perceived the world, to say nothing of the ceiling it blew off my expectation of how life was meant to be lived!

”I started doing LIFEStory with Becky years ago – before there was even an official LIFEStory program. As I started my LIFEStory and immediately began seeing results, I was excited to become one of her coaches.
However, the dirty, dark secret I kept to myself was that I could never make myself finish writing the section on relationships. It was just too painful. The marriage I was in was so far from what I wanted I couldn’t even dare articulate what I wanted – it was just too hard to even think about. This went on for years as I happily talked to others and taught others this amazing tool and as it worked in every other area of my life.
At the same time, I had become pretty consistent at also using my LIFEStudio (ask Becky if you aren’t already on top of that one!), and I worked to the point where I was brave enough to put on my screen a knight in shining armor riding in on a white stallion, scooping me up (renaissance dress and all) and depositing me in front of him on the horse as we rode off into a beautiful horizon. The only thing that really bothered me about this (and that I wouldn’t let myself think about) was that I could never see the face of the knight even though the fair lady was very clearly me.
Fast forward a couple years. My husband and I separated. I swore I’d never get married again. I wasn’t interested in dating…and yet, I neglected to take the knight off my screen in my LIFEStudio. A year and a half after our separation and at least six months after our divorce was final, after a lot of clearing (ask Becky about Body Talk if you haven’t taken advantage of that!), emotional work, and prayer, one day I picked up a journal designated for my optimized LIFEStory, and I filled out a page about what I wanted in an ideal relationship. I still couldn’t write out sentences, but I wrote several bullet points about what that relationship would be and about how it would feel. There were a couple specific ‘do’ things such as travel. It was a huge step for me to even be willing to think about a relationship let alone write anything down. I felt nervous, but good about breaking through that barrier (kind of like breaking the barrier was the main point and I was glad I conquered that/glad that was over), and I promptly shut the journal and forgot about it.
The next time I read through what I had written was 5 months later. I had met a widower, (Did I say that after one of my girlfriends from ages ago met and married a widower -and I’d never seen her happier – I wrote on my notepad in my studio the question “How do I find a widower?”) and we had seen each other nearly every day for three weeks. At that time, I prayed, not very eloquently and mostly because fears from the past were plaguing me, “Father, what do I do about Don?”
I was not prepared for the nearly audible and immediate answer, “Marry him.” Freak Out! That was not the answer I thought I was supposed to get. No more than that. Hello? A little instruction, please? Nope.
A day or two later I opened my journal and saw the page I had completely forgotten I’d written. Another moment of freak out. EVERY. LITTLE. THING. I had written was exactly what I was experiencing and who this man is.
Fast forward 2.5 months and we were married. I am living the relationship I finally articulated. I can clearly see the image of my knight because I wake up next to him each morning, and we ride off into beautiful vistas every day. Oh, and the travel. We’ve been married 6 months and have been gone from home over 2.5 months of that time. We have shared amazing adventures in England, Scotland, Wales, California, Southern Utah, Las Vegas, and we recently spent January in our new motor home on the beach at Padre Island and camping in several other places in Texas.
