If you can believe it, I’m a divorce lawyer.
For more than two decades, I’ve worked with clients as they experienced heartbreak of every kind.
In my early days I prayed that God would bring me clients that most needed my help. My prayers were answered a thousand times over. I was passionate about every case, staying awake many nights trying to figure out how to best represent each client.
However, at a certain point, the fire I felt in the beginning of my career began to wane. The shoulders of my compassion became weary from the pain and adversity I carried with me. I felt exhausted. I binged on food and alcohol to deal with the unhappiness.
I realized I needed to search for a way to be happy. I started reading books about happiness. Went to seminars. Listened to presentations. And I found my answer one week in Seattle while attending a Mike Dooley “Train the Trainer” conference.
I remember him saying our ‘thoughts become things’. That idea stunned me. It was true. Through my law practice my mind became filled with sadness, hostility, anger, and pain. Pain of such magnitude that it had seeped into my very pores.
Mike suggested we could do something so radically different, but yet so simple: We could choose to be happy. I remember shaking in my hotel room as I thought about this principle. It literally changed my life.
These days I’m still a lawyer, but I have a different perspective on my work. I don’t feel the same sadness I did before. And I’ve had the chance to share what I’ve learned with my clients to help them see their circumstances differently. This message of hope changed my life. I couldn’t wait to share with the rest of the world. It started out with Infinite Possibilities workshops locally. I loved seeing the transformation occur as people realized THEY create their reality.
Along the way, as I began speaking and teaching, I met so many passionate messengers. People who wanted to share their own message of hope and transformation with the world. We all are united in our belief that life can be created by design. I brought together a group of conscious leaders who are making the world a better place. A collective who want to help you, wherever you are on your journey, to create the life of your dreams.
Positive Change, well, it means different things to different people. Whatever your need – I know we have someone to help at Project Positive Change.
Love, Light, and Positive Change!
