  • Discovering What Makes You Shine - Episode 51

    "Let your light shine. Be a source of strength and courage. Share your wisdom. Radiate love.”
    — Wilferd Peterson

    ----more----
    When you meet someone who shines, they literally light up a room when they enter and everyone around can feel the subtle energy emanating around them. When someone shines it is more than just exuding a good feeling, it’s about emitting an energy that is positive, explosive, and contagious.
    ----more----
    Everyone has something that makes them shine. Join Lisa and Michael for an exploration into what makes you shine. What exactly is it? Shining is a state of authenticity, presence, focus, and ease. We will be delving into the importance of self-love, self-value and self-confidence as ways to let yourself shine brighter: Shining bright is something you do, not because you are trying, but because you are genuinely being you. As simple as it sounds, many people don’t realize just how unique and amazing they truly are. Embrace your magnificence. The world is awaiting your unique expression of all that makes you shine!
    ----more----
    One last note, there is no better way to shine than to be doing something that you enjoy and that you’re passionate about. In a college address, writer George Saunders said it best. “Do those things that incline you toward the big questions, and avoid the things that would reduce you and make you trivial. That luminous part of you that exists beyond personality — your soul, if you will — is as bright and shining as any that has ever been. Bright as Shakespeare’s, bright as Gandhi’s, bright as Mother Teresa’s. Clear away everything that keeps you separate from this secret luminous place. Believe it exists, come to know it better, nurture it, share its fruits tirelessly.”

  • Making the Impossible Possible - Episode 50

    “Start by doing what’s necessary; then do what’s possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.” – St. Francis of Assisi

    The timeless words of St. Francis of Assisi reminds us that in order to make a seemingly impossible dream into a reality we need to begin with the small steps of necessity and move forward into the realm of possibility. Every idea and accomplishment that humans have ever made most likely originated in the imagination of some person who was told that something was impossible. However, everything is possible until proven impossible.

    Lisa and Michael invite you to recognize that anything is possible —life is full of possibilities. On this weeks show we will be delving into creative imagination as a powerful force that brings things that did not exist from a place of no-thing into the realm of possibility. We will be sharing our thoughts on why it is our beliefs and thinking that something is not possible that keeps us from achieving our dreams and goals. Discover why hope, belief, skills, action, enthusiasm and passion are just a few of the small steps that can add up to huge possibilities. With positive possibility thinking, anything can happen and it usually does.

  • The Beauty of Enthusiasm - Episode 49

    “ Enthusiasm is excitement with inspiration, motivation, and a pinch of creativity.” - Bo Bennett


    Enthusiasm is a wonderful thing of beauty. Why? Enthusiasm is like an inner sun that makes life easier, brighter and more enjoyable. Starting each day with a happy enthusiastic mindset can propel you on the right path of doing what you enjoy and what you know you were meant to do. Enthusiasm blesses us with energy to move forward. Napoleon Hill, author of  Think and Grow Rich wrote, “Enthusiasm is a state of mind that inspires and arouses one to put action into the task at hand . . . Enthusiasm bears the same relationship to a human being that steam does to the locomotive – it is the vital moving force that impels action.”

    Join Lisa and Michael as we explore the beautiful connection between creativity, the imagination and enthusiasm.  Enthusiasm is probably one of the most attractive qualities a person can have and when you’re around people who are enthusiastic about their lives and about their work, their enthusiasm can inspire you to be passionate about whatever it is that you’re doing. Discover why enthusiasm will flow naturally when you are doing whatever you really like to do and how it help you open, expand, and realize the gifts of creation within you.

  • Awakening Your Imagination - Episode 48

    “The Imagination is the most marvelous, miraculous, inconceivably powerful force the world has ever known.”  - Napoleon Hill


    Imagination brings things to life! It is at the core of creativity and creation. It is through the use of our imagination we open ourselves up to confidently undertake things that might appear to be impossible. Pablo Picasso said, “Everything you can imagine is real.” And studies carried out by Dr. Luigi Afganti, of the University of Padua, show just that! His research showed that perception and imagination share the same neural mechanisms. What does this mean? The brain (the subconscious mind) does not know the difference between imagination and reality. Dr. Afganti discovered people are capable of experiencing sensations through imagination without certain stimuli being present because we use the same neural circuits in the brain. Quite simply, the brain loves to imagine so every human has the ability to imagine and create their own life..

    Join Lisa and Michael as we continue our exploration into the realm of your creative imagination. Discover why the neuroscience of imagination tells us that there’s a creative genius within us all. We will be sharing why when we visualize ideas we find solutions to problems and are able to generate plans from which a new future is being created. Neville Goddard believed “you are the creator” and imagination gives you the power to be anything you DESIRE to be. We invite you to awaken your imagination and open the gateway to the belief that anything is possible!

  • Our Gift of Imagination - Episode 47

    “Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life’s coming attractions.” - Albert Einstein


    Many of us are unaware of the significance and influence of imagination in our lives. If you take a moment to look around you, everything that is around you was once in someone’s imagination. Imagination makes it possible to experience a whole world inside the mind, with it, one can travel anywhere in the world at the speed of light or do anything without restrictions.. In Wayne Dyer’s book Being in Balance: 9 Principles for Creating Habits to Match Your Desires,  he wrote, “While the world of reality has its limits, the world of your imagination is without boundaries.”

    Join Lisa and Michael for an  exploration into one of the greatest gift you were ever given — the gift of your imagination. Within your magical inner realm is the capacity to release limiting thoughts and imagine something greater. It enables you to look at any situation from a different point of view, and to imagine different possibilities and outcomes. We will be sharing how the imagination allows you to connect with others on a deeper level, why it invites creativity and is the root of innovation. We invite you to discover the power of your imagination and open to the infinite possibilities of your mind.

Each day, your life is a blank canvas for you is to fill with the most beautiful, meaningful, powerful painting you can imagine. Most people don’t realize they have the option to choose what they want to put on that blank canvas. You can choose to be different. You can choose to be free. You can choose to be colorful. You can choose to be happy, the list is endless.

    Lisa and Michael invite you to join us in our exploration of the art of happiness  Imagine what your life could look like if  you became more aware of your own causes of happiness. Being highly self-aware of our unique moments when we felt happy helps us actively think about or do those things intentionally to create more happiness in our lives! Our choices and energetic state is key to intentional creation in our lives – energy, emotion, thought and attitude are the way we become creators of our life. Lisa and Michael share how painting your canvas with positivity opens the gateway to happiness, gratitude and optimism. To quote Kerli, “Your life is your canvas, and you are the masterpiece. There are a million ways to be kind, amazing, fabulous, creative, bold, and interesting.” Be inspired to make your masterpiece beautiful!
