I attended an AMAZING seminar last weekend! It was ALL day on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. It was the Millionaire Mind Intensive in Denver.
I first read The Secrets of The Millionaire Mind by T. Harv Ecker back at the end of 2007. It was at the end of my marriage, but before I knew I was getting a divorce. I found the book at a thrift store, or someone gave it to me... I don't remember. I saw the movie The Secret around the same time.
We lived in a really icky, gross, small house (it had three layers of flooring that had been there for years!) and drove an old car that didn't even fit the family properly. We sat on top of eachother and didn't have enough seatbelts for everyone. We lived right behind a couple of bars, where my ex would visit often. I enjoyed the location because the kiddos and I could walk to the Co-op, the park, the reservoir and the market. It was right in the middle of a beautiful, mountain town.
Needless to say, after reading the book and watching the movie, I placed bright colored sticky notes all over the house. They had affirmations on them, goals and dreams for the family, and everything positive you can imagine.
I ended up leaving my husband about four months later. We weren't on the same path and didn't want the same things for our family. No worries, it is all working out beautifully! ;)
Here it is 2010 and the gentleman that wrote the book, held a seminar here in Denver this last weekend! I was going.... no matter what it took, I was going to be there.
So, Thursday night I packed up the crew and headed to my Dad's house. He lives about five minutes from where the seminar was being held. My dad didn't know about the seminar until that evening when I told him I wanted to go.
The kids had just gotten over chicken pox, my three-year-old had a cold, and Tiana ended up puking that night. I had a feeling it would just be a quick virus or she ate something that upset her tummy. At this point, I gave it to the universe... I decided that if I was meant to go to the seminar, everyone would sleep well and we'd get up and go. If anyone was up during the night, due to illness, we probably wouldn't make it.
The kids slept well, and I woke them up at 6:30a.m. We all got dressed, got our "to-do" bags, packed the cooler with food, and headed to the seminar. Yep, ALL of us. ;)
I didn't know if they would allow kids (especially 5!) into the seminar, or if they'd send us away. My thought was, the worse that could happen is they would say NO and we'd leave.
The best that could have happened, DID happen! They welcomed us with open arms. The event staff was amazing! They let me attend for free and allowed the kids to be there. They were so supportive and helpful. One of the guys made the kids their own name tags and interacted with them often. The whole staff was very attentive and loving towards me and my crew. I am/was soooo grateful.
The kids were with me part of the time and the other part of the time it worked out that they stayed at my dad's house. I don't usually have my dad watch my kids, but it really worked out beautifully. My dad was great and my kids were great! And I completed the seminar!
Whatever it takes....
I learned so much and took so many steps towards releasing negative blocks about money! I learned that I have/HAD a lack of respect for money. There were some therapeutic exercises that allowed me to dig deep and pull up and out negative emotions... and then release them!
Not only did it have to do with money, it was related to my parents, my ex and just icky, stuck emotions and ideas I was holding onto. What a healing weekend! I had no idea I even had any of those negative emotions inside of me. I feel lighter.
So, Friday I also had surgery on my left leg at 2pm in the afternoon. I had to leave the seminar and head to meet my dad (he took the kids), then I went back to the seminar around 5pm. It was an outpatient, laser surgery for varicose veins.... they went in with a catheter and then slid the laser into the catheter and "zapped" the veins.
Ya know, I have a respect for Western Medicine that I didn't have prior to this series of surgeries on my vein system.
I had surgery on my pelvis about three to four weeks ago for the same thing, just in my pelvis. No laser that time, they coiled the broken veins. They went in through my neck with a catheter and traveled down to my pelvis with tools and a tiny camera. There were five, big flat screens that the doctor watched as she did this procedure. AMAZING! I walked out of the surgery, went to dinner with my dad (Pho!) and drove home that night, resuming my daily mother activities the following day. They wrote me two prescriptions, one intense IBProfen, the other a narcotic.... I didn't fill either one and ended up ripping them and throwing them in the trash. I didn't need them. I felt good.
I have one more surgery scheduled for the 13th of December on my right leg. The veins aren't bad, just need fixed so they don't get worse. They are a result of having so many babies. Since I'm done having babies, this is the perfect time and procedure for me. I am grateful for Western Medicine... it has it's place.
Anyway, Friday about 1/2 hour after I returned to the seminar, the speaker asked for five future millionaires to step up to the stage... I happened to be right there and ended up being one of the volunteers! I was unaware we were playing "Follow The Leader." This is where, one at a time, we got on stage and danced.... whatever we did, the audience (hundreds of people) repeated our dance moves! Seeing how we were all in tight quarters in the audience, it was really the top half of our bodies dancing. How fun that was and really profound. Whatever I did, hundreds of people were doing.... wow, what a rush. I then got off stage and remembered I just had surgery! So, right out of surgery, I'm on stage DANCING! Ouch.... thank goodness others carry IBProfen. I haven't had that in years, but had to take it. I felt so much better and finished the night with no problems.
What a weekend. I had a blast, learned a lot, met a BUNCH of beautiful people, did some networking, released some negative "stuff" and really grew as a person.
I am now implementing the money management system I learned, creating passive income vessels, and working towards my goal of financial freedom.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. XO
