Reinvention Was Necessary, Quitting Was Not

Reinvention Was Necessary, Quitting Was Not

Triffany Hammond is the only of the 8 women we interviewed five years ago who is not working in the Forex industry anymore. She made a life change this is radical and utterly natural at the same time. She did love trading during her 10+ yr career but quit - “I was in the wrong industry for the work I was really doing for people.” She is now a life coach. Her reflection and understanding of who she is and what she - and in fact, we all - need in life is inspiring. It’s a long interview, but you - as a trader or not - might find stimulating ideas if you read it until the end! The difference between quitting and reinvention *You made a big change in your professional life. You are not a trader anymore. What do you do for a living now?

I Feel Giddy, OH so Giddy!!

I Feel Giddy, OH so Giddy!!

I feel giddy, oh so giddy! Oh so giddy and witty and briiiiight!!! When I feel giddy, I feel abundant. One of my most favorite feelings is the after-glow of a productive day. Knowing that I handily accomplished a lot of goals in short amount of time while also taking care of all those little things that don’t make the list but need to get done makes me feel like a superhero. In an earlier post I wrote about getting into the feeling state of freedom, that’s akin to the superhero feeling and still different. I realize, now, those feelings have some overlap to my abundance feeling and yet are quite separate from what I feel inside when I’m basking in abundance. At least for me. I’ve noticed that when I really start feeling abundant my tummy tenses, there are butterflies, my posture straightens and I cannot help but smile. I feel giddy! I’ve got a lot I’m juggling. That means, sometimes I forget about this abundance experiment altogether. When I do recall the experiment I’m reminded to feel abundant; I’m reminded to fell giddy. In that moment I do whatever it takes to get into that emotional state that gets my body really feeling it. It’s different every time. Sometimes it’s as simple as climbing into my bed at night knowing I’ve got a roof over my head, my kids are home safe, we’re all healthy and I’m surrounded by some of the best people in the world. Sometimes I’ll notice that giddiness arise when I laugh, especially with my kids. There are times, too, when I can’t seem to find it. I don’t force...

Dear Haters, YOU Are Why Caitlyn Jenner Deserves Her Courage Award

Being your true self is the greatest act of courage possible. I have to admit, I didn’t follow Caitlyn Jenner’s sorry as she came out publicly as transgender. I’ve never watched the Kardashian show, so I only know as much as I happen to grab in headlines at the store and most of that I readily forget. But recently Caitlyn accepted the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the 2015 ESPY Awards. I only knew this because I saw a meme online of wounded soldiers that sarcastically said, “Please excuse use, we’re on our way to thank Bruce Jenner for being so courageous.” I’m the first one to admit that we, as a country, merely honor our veterans in word but certainly not in deed. I’m not here to make a case debating … (read more at YourTango.com where this article was originally...
Something is Shifting

Something is Shifting

I don’t know how else to say it but after yesterday’s post…something is shifting for me. I’m Celebrating That Something is Shifting I wrote yesterday how I’d felt disappointed and a little stagnant after not hitting my 14 day goal. I recounted the little things that had happened; each and every one of them contributes to my feeling of abundance. Then…out of nowhere these things happened: I got almost 40 followers on Twitter and I have no idea where they came from. I’d been hovering around 730 followers when I started this blog series and right now have 838. My Your Tango article gained another 300 social shares in a single day even after it had been removed from their homepage. I want to be clear on this…I have yet to have a single person I know share this article!! Even though I’ve shared the crap it with my immediate sphere of influence, these shares are all strangers. Stats the Your Tango articles were released and the two articles I wrote that hit the homepage last week were #1 and #3 in social shares. I had 3 newsletters share either my article or an article I shared in their newsletter which got me public mention with their audience Seems like there was something else but I forget now. Can you see that something is shifting?? Waaaaaayyyy back when I did the crowdfunding campaign for my book I wrote about how I’d apparently signed a contract that no one else agreed to. I’d been building a network of people who I supported very willingly but who didn’t support me back. It’s...
How Do I Rid Old Trauma From My Body?

How Do I Rid Old Trauma From My Body?

Today we talked about what to do when old trauma that has taken up residence in our body rears its ugly head. We went through a powerful visualization where we connected with the message from the trauma so we can work with it, not resist it. Remember, what we resist in life, persists in life so we… This content is for Lovely Membership members only.Log In...
The Little Things

The Little Things

Sometimes it’s the little the things that keep you going. <—- Look at that, I misspelled “almost always” Almost Always It’s The Little Things That Keep You Going I saw this video at the beginning of the week: 17. We counted them for you. It’s 17.via. Thrasher Magazine Posted by Mpora on Thursday, July 16, 2015 It reminded me of The Abundance Experiment and absolutely everything I’m building right now. THIS is tenacity. THIS is the truth about a learning curve. THIS is building and/or bettering something. THIS is the journey to success. I have NO doubt I’m meant to be of service to this world in a big way. I’ve come so close to dying so many times I’ve lost count, yet I’m still here with a heart full of hope. Still, there are times when even I need reminding that so many moments of exhaustion, pain and doubt are perfectly normal. Then there’s that moment, just like for the skater, when it “clicks.” I did not reach my 14 day intention. I’ve had so many successes so far in this experiment yet it still hit me hard on Sunday when I didn’t have that one last push. That’s ok. I’m forging ahead with my next goal which was 1 month to reach $5000 or more. The money can come from expected AND unexpected places. I can feel the doubt arising in my mind and body, even as I type this, “Triffany…you just put the time and the dollar amount and made it public!! What if you don’t make it? What if this is all a sham? What if you don’t truly...
Some Mixed Energies

Some Mixed Energies

I accidentally mixed my energies with others’ who may not have my best interest at heart Mixed Energies It’s taken me a couple days to decide whether or not to post this because I want The Abundance Experiment to be about staying in the energy, what that feels like and if it even works. I don’t want to throw anyone under the bus or make anyone feel badly, for any reason. Still….I’m reminded that I am not an island unto myself. I cannot help but intermingle my efforts with others’. I want to stay true to this experiment though and report all of the results, all of the ones I’m conscious of anyway, to keep myself accountable and to anyone else who may decide to try it out. I don’t think either of these people even read this blog but because I don’t want you to think poorly of them I’ll be obfuscating their identities. A couple nights ago I had 2 experiences with 2 different people back to back. 1. I shared a little of my excitement about some of the confirmation I’d received that day with someone who I’ve suspected for quite some time doesn’t really want to see me succeed. If you were to ask him directly, I feel he would say that he absolutely does want to see me succeed. I feel that, on a conscious level, he’d be telling the truth. Subconsciously, however, there’s a lot of evidence to say otherwise. He’s not a bad person, he’s just not working through his own junk so he projects it onto others, including me. 2. Someone very close to...
7 Ways to Raise Kids Who Respect AND Trust You

7 Ways to Raise Kids Who Respect AND Trust You

Kids can’t give what they don’t receive. So, start walking your talk, Mom and Dad. I’ve seen a lot of social media posts lately claiming that “kids today don’t have any integrity or respect!” I remember how hurtful it felt hearing statements like that said about my own generation when I was younger. Especially when it was obvious that people chose to focus only on the bad, completely dismissing the good. Now, parenting two teenagers of my own who are sometimes insightful and at other times angsty, I completely understand how inciting their behavior is at times. I rely on memories from my own youth (and my own spectrum of good to not-so-good behavior) as a reminder that I can change the pattern of how I choose to view (and then either condemn or encourage) today’s youth.
