I have been reading through your comments with much interest. I have read Lynn’s book countless times and it’s great to see living proof of how when putting the LOA into action so many amazing things can manifest.

I was wondering if you could dispense some advice? I have been put forward for a job that is my dream job. The salary, location and everything is spot on. I haven’t heard news of an interview yet but I have been told that I’m being considered and that the company is “still interested”. How would you approach this situation? I know the saying that no news is good news but I’m starting to go crazy waiting for a response! How would you use the LOA to get the interview and ultimately the job?

I’d appreciate your feedback on this very much as this job (when I get it–being confident here!!) will open so many opportunities up for me.

You story with your kittens makes me smile and recall the antics my cats have gotten up to over the years…have had cats for many years, still have 3 older ones.

I am always amazed how self believing and self directing they are. They do what they want, when they want it and if they break an absolute No, NO, like sleeping on the kitchen table, they let me know as they leisurely jump off and leave me to see their tail still being at top level as I enter, that they slept there because they like it and will get down for me for the moment, because if they don’t that has consequences like being shouted at. They will go there every time when I am not looking and every night, just because they want to, if they want to.

But what you said about them living in the moment is important and a wise teacher, because that is something we find often difficult to do while our thoughts and minds and emotions react to experiences of the past in fear or we worry about the future and we get entangled. Yet that is where life is lived, only in the NOW and that is where we have fun where we find joy and peace, where we find inspiration. It is a place of great freedom. It’s a great place to be! All of nature is a great teacher.

Going to see the Dog Whisperer tonight, he is here in London/UK. He always shows that dogs also live in the now and demonstrates that years of difficulty between dog and owner change in a moment, because the dog doesn’t think about the past (the owner usually does) it responds in the NOW to the energy of the owner in the NOW.
Thanks for your story!
Blessings!

I had bought this book a few years ago but had not read it. That is quite normal for me as I am a devoted reader and forever interested in learning and developing myself. Years ago I ‘handed over’ the book search/choice and acquired what I was guided to to buy, what I was attracted to… I have never regretted this.

I had read ‘Dear God..’ and found that quite surprising and enjoyed reading it. But it wasn’t something new to me.
Then, recently, my brother in Germany told me about ‘Excuse me..’ and I remembered that I had that book somewhere and started reading it about 6 months ago. Now the time was right for me to read it as I was at a major crossroads in my life. It has made a lot of sense and has brought into my life a much needed more positive outlook and the realization how little control I had over my thoughts and emotions. It poignantly showed me how negative my thinking was; I had always thought I was a happy/quite positive person… I love her down to earth style and will pass it on to people who are open to change their tack so to speak. I found it totally relevant when looking at the (sad) state of affairs in the world today, from underhanded tactics to down right evil intentions of local to central governments, frightening plans and plots for the future of humanity, to the decimation of the environment… plenty to be negative about…

However, I agree with her that all is energy and thoughts have energy and that my negative energy added to that of millions is not doing anyone, let alone the environment, those in politics, etc., any favors. Positive , light filled thoughts and intentions counteract that which seems to be the intent of those who wish to fill us with fear based news/information on a daily basis.. I have often thought that I live on a different planet because of where my thoughts are focused. We all have a responsibility for ourselves.

Most people I speak to live in perpetual fear of something… from personal catastrophes to global ones. We are co-creators with the Creator/the creative force of the universe, we can, as a collective, create different outcomes. I believe that is happening already quite regularly. Many light-filled human beings who practice this co-creative principle are devoted to effect positively, predicted negative outcomes globally. Following her guidance and practicing the 4 steps much positive has happened in my life. I have the book in my bag to work and when I feel I am unhappy/frustrated I open the Do’s and Don’ts page at the end and get myself aligned with happiness. Its a work in progress…:)… that’s life.

Regarding her death I believe that when one’s life is complete we go “Home’… wherever that is. This here is a place of learning and recognizing how we create or lives and living our truth and how we pursue this inner craving to search for more and deeper knowledge, searching to find ourselves and who we are and where we came from. All of humanity is searching, searching for Creator/God… or however you want to define it. When that is done we shed the body and move back into the realm of spirit, we move on. We ARE eternal beings and we have been before and will go on. We each are an eternal spirit living in a body of flesh and blood. The body is useful for learning much about who we are, how conscious we are and about the joy of being in the flesh so to speak, but it is not what/who we are. These are questions everyone ponders individually …or not.
Blessings to all.

So… this is what you need to do. Sit yourself down, and shut off to all other thoughts. Imagine what it would like to be offered this job. Visualize the head of HR ringing you up and informing you that you have been successful. What does it feel like, what can you see, feel, smell etc. What would it look like to be working in this place, who would your friends be, how would the relationship be with your boyfriend. Gosh I am vibrating already! Come on this is what Excuse me teaches you. Just stop thinking of everything else, just life ‘As If’ (Live as if you already have this job, its a very powerful technique). And then, do some mental rehearsal for the interview. Imagine yourself in your best suit, striding into the office, shaking hands, being confident. Imagine yourself getting along well with the person interviewing you, both of you smiling, answering the questions with ease and humor, imagine the interviewer thinking ‘this is the one for us’, imagine shaking hands as you leave and feeling good about your interview.

Mental rehearsal is the most powerful tool here and its what helped me win 5 Supreme Championships in my chosen sporting field (and I have no book to sell). Its amazing and magical. Get to it and good luck! Shelley

The problem I have with your thought pattern is that we don’t use LOA on a daily basis… it would be impossible as our default (for some reason) is to be wary and look for the negative. I have tracked my negative thoughts throughout the day and have been astounded at the amount of negativity I surround my thoughts with. It is only when I choose to APPLY LOA that it works for me and I have to say it has worked EVERY time I have used it. I think this is the reason that there are doubters… because it really is a process and hard work and is, for some unknown reason, not possible to live in the space from moment to moment.

I like to think that looking on the negative side sometimes help us make decisions as we go about our life. But here’s something to think about. Last November I was due to make a 3 hr journey on the M25 to a celebration party that my team had organized for our successful sporting season. I make this trip every week to join them for our competitions but for some reason I was wary of driving that afternoon. I had a feeling of dread and even rang a friend to discuss an alternative route (so he again was witness to how the LOA sometimes works). In the end I decided to stick to the original route but felt uneasy the whole journey.

After two hours of sitting in stop start traffic, in bad weather conditions the road opened up and I kicked my car up a gear, only to find the traffic stop abruptly in front of me…the outcome…a head on, 3 car, bumper to bumper cause by yours truly! The most scary and only car accident that I have had. I know I bought that upon myself, with self doubt and not trusting my good driving skills. I’m very big into mental rehearsal, which I think works well with LOA, if I had rehearsed a clear run, saw myself making the party on time as Lynn suggests, I feel sure my better self would have advised me to take a longer but less hazardous route.

Last week, during half term my daughter, her friend, myself and several friends stayed in a beautiful cottage on the beach in Cornwall (in Western England). On our first night, as we returned from dinner in the local pub, we met a hysterical woman who told us that she had lost her dog on the walk home from the pub an hour earlier. We helped her look for a short time and left her and her friends to continue the search for the rest of the night. She told me that if she did not find the dog by the morning that she would have to abandon her search and return home for personal reasons.

This did not sit well with me (being a huge dog lover). As I laid in bed awake all night, listening to her searching for her dog, I felt as guilty as anything that I was not helping. At day break I gave myself a big talking to. I had used LOA only for two area’s in my life… one for professional competition and the other to find my soul mate, as recently as September last yr. Why, when I had this amazing tool did I not put it to greater use to help others?

I decided that I was going to find that dog and that my daughter would be the one to find it with me. My daughter suffers from low self esteem and is always the one on the reserve bench. If she could find this dog and return it to the owner I could kill two birds with one stone, so to speak. I envisioned my daughter discovering the dog hidden under a bush in the garden of a run down house, cold and shivering, I saw her face light up and the joy in her body as she carried the pathetic dog back to her delighted owner. I imagined how it would feel to carry this dog back victorious to this broken lady and the look on her face as she cuddled her lost companion.

Vibrating like mad, I woke the girls and told them ‘we were going to find that dog’. As we trampled out in our pj’s, wellies and big jumpers I gave the girls my LOA pep talk. What then occurred was pretty unbelievable to our friends (luckily I had told them the previous night about my experience with LOA, so they saw with their own eyes the result). Long and short… we found the pathetic dog, shivering under a bush at the back of a run down empty house about 2 miles from where it was lost.

My daughter’s face flushed with triumphant joy as she picked the dog from the bush and carried her back to her owner (as she was packing her car to leave!!) I knew that I would never doubt the power that I had at my finger tips (and I made believers out of 5 skeptical Irish friends!)

What I believe happened that happy morning was an attitude that set about a series of events. firstly we decided that we were going to find this dog. Failure was not an option. We began our search on a piece of rough ground where we thought we heard a bark. Finding nothing we saw a dog on the beach and decided to ask the owner if it had been her dog that had barked (if we had not done this our search would have failed there and then). The woman told us that it had not been her dog but wanted to know why we were so insistent with our questions.

On hearing our story she informed us that a man on a motor bike in the car park above us had patted her dog and told her that he had almost run a dog over as he arrived that morning. We saw the biker getting on his bike about to leave. With superhuman strength (wellies and sand not being conducive to running) we managed to catch the biker just as he was leaving the car park. My daughter, having arrived first informed me of the house that the biker had seen the dog disappearing into. Running up the road, realizing that she had misheard his directions we decided to return to find the biker and question him again. Back in the car park we discovered that he had left.

Exhausted and disappointed we sat down to recover in the spot that the biker had parked. At this spot my daughter found a glove which we handed in to the local pub where we ran into the biker having coffee who took us to the house where my daughter was the first to find the dog, hidden and caught up under a bush at the back of a run down house just as I had imagined it.

Positive re-enforcement changes your attitude, which encourages you to take a different approach, which in turn influences the way that others respond to you, resulting in achievement in whatever we set our minds to. Remember, these people had searched all night and all morning, they were caught up in negativity and despondency. This did not lead them on the same trail that we took as we took ours out of positivity and by deliberately creating our opportunities. Would they have returned the glove? Would they have questioned the woman on the beach or made their mind up that her dog had barked as it at first appeared?

Can I just say that your last 3 lines shows that you are not totally embracing how LOA works. If you practise LOA properly you will NEVER crash. Thats the whole point. Dare to dream and be a deliberate creator. Before I started my competitive sporting career (before LOA) I was caught up in daring to believe I could win because I to had a fear of failure. Better to dream small than to dream big and be disappointed…but…I made myself do it..and the very first time I dared to dream big..I won my first and biggest competition. The winners roled in every week after this and never stopped and still have not stopped. This is just the way it works..do not question it, just get on and start creating a better life..its out there for you and I am living proof of it.

Your future to live with your new found partner and his 4 boys in Goring sounds amazing, are they all as thrilled as you must be? I have given my oldest children the Lynn Grabhorn book and they have gained many positive benefits, so it does work for all ages…..try it .
We do not live in Oxford as you do , we live North Oxfordshire. Whats it like living in Oxford ?

When are you next performing for more successes?

My daughter (11) is also finding it difficult as used to having me to herself for five years and is not liking sharing me.

How funny you are in Oxford, as that is where he lives and we are thinking of moving (Goring, where his house is).

I am in Newbury. Perhaps we should meet up sometime? Where abouts is your place in Oxford..sounds amazing.

Your life is taking truly amazing good fortune and I am sure thats because of having all the positive thoughts.
My partner is also Irish and for the past 6 years its been wondeful. Does your new man have children to bond with your children, as thats always an important aspect of a new relationship. Between us we have 6 children ranging from 1o to 23..so quite a spectrum.

It will be exciting to move to a new home,although please be careful if it hold memories for him of any past marriages/relationships. We have now moved into a rambling rectory in Oxfordshire and are renovating , so a new phase is beginning.

Like you I wished for so many things but nothing happened until I put pure energy into those thoughts.
