  • Keep the Faith That Miracles Are Coming

    Keep the Faith That Miracles Are Coming

    Today’s Miracle Moment Is About How to Keep the Faith That Miracles Are Coming

    Are there some miracles you’ve been wishing for for a long time? Or have you found yourself giving up some hope that miracles are coming? Well here’s a story about how you should always keep the faith that miracles are on the way. 

    Two days after Christmas last year, two fishermen in Northern Indiana were out scouting for fishing holes. They were about to pack up and head home, when they saw something shiny in the distance underneath an interstate bridge. Their curiosity got them, and they walked toward the shiny object and slowly figured out what they were seeing was a mangled truck. They got closer to the truck and one of the men went right up to the driver’s side door and pulled the airbag back and found a man right there in the seat! They assumed that he must be dead, but the fisherman put his hand on the man’s shoulder, and the man swung around and woke up! 

    The man said that he had been stuck there since the previous Wednesday, which at that point, was 6 days before that. He hadn’t been able to reach his phone because of the way he was stuck in the mangled truck, so all he could do was yell and cry out for help, but no one heard him. 

    The weather during this time had gone down 29 degrees Fahrenheit, making his chances very rare of surviving. And he survived by only drinking rainwater. He told the fishermen who found him that he had nearly given up all hope, because no one was there, and all he could hear was the sound of the water. 

    Can you imagine those 6 days, which must have felt like 6 years – not knowing if you’d survive? The local police sergeant shared that, with how low the temperatures were dropping on that 6th night, he didn’t think the man would have made it if it weren’t for the two fishermen who discovered him right on time. How’s that for a Christmas miracle?

    Here are three things to remember from that story to help you keep the faith that miracles are coming.

    First, is that the Divine works through each of us and we’re all a part of one another’s miracle stories.

    You play a part in not only your miracles, but the miracles of everyone around you. You can participate wholeheartedly by listening to your nudges and following your intuition. Maybe you get a nudge to do something kind for someone you don’t know, or to call a distant family member out of the blue. Or maybe you feel a nudge to drive a different way to work or to go to a place you don’t usually go. By following your divine curiosity, you participate in the grand miracles unfoldment that you are an important part of, whether you know it or not. 

    Next is that Delays are Not Denials.

    Just because the miracle you’re intending hasn’t shown up yet, doesn’t mean that there isn’t divine timing for it to show up. Keep holding the vision of the miracle you’re intending, and knowing that it’s possible for you. You can also lean on the intention of “This or something better.” There may be something even better than the miracle you have in mind that’s in store for you – be open to it.  

    Finally, third is that every “Now moment” has the possibility for miracles.

    If you’ve spent a lot of years doing inner work and personal growth work, and you’ve experienced some great miracles, but some still feel out of reach, you might have lost the enthusiasm and the faith that you had at the beginning of your journey. You need to reinvigorate our faith in the miraculous. Notice the miracles, big or small, that you experience every day. And when you see someone else with a miracle, you can lean on a phrase that my friend and co-founder of Your Year of Miracles Debra Poneman taught us, which is, “And that’s for me!” Start seeing everything as evidence of the miracles that are coming for you. 

    To give you even more of a boost, let’s do something we do in our Your Year of Miracles calls for our members that I call supercharging…

    1. I invite you to bring to mind a miracle or miracle that you may have given up faith on. It can be any area of life. What area needs some extra supercharging?
    2. Now that you have it in mind, we call in all of the angels, archangels, ascended masters, and all of our divine support team to surround us with their pure miracles energy.
    3. We hold up the miracles that are in the mind of each person here who’s watching or listening to this. We imagine golden rays of love encircling you and your miracles. We see you living out your miracle and experiencing greater joy, peace, gratitude, happiness, and abundance.
    4. We supercharge your miracles with deep divine love and divine energy. We hold your miracles and your intentions with love in our hearts, and we see them manifested in perfect timing, or something better. And so it is.

    Every moment has the possibility for miracles. Keep the faith and see the miracles that are all around you right now. Let me know in the comments what resonated the most from the message for you and how it felt to receive that supercharging.

    I’ll leave you with this quote from Fannie Flagg:

    “Don’t give up before the miracle happens.”

    May you have a week full of curiosity, faith, and miracles – big and small. I send you love!

  • The Miracle of Giving Thanks

    The Miracle of Giving Thanks

    Today’s Miracle Moment Is About The Miracle of Giving Thanks

    In the US, Thanksgiving is coming up, and in Canada, people celebrated Thanksgiving last month. And all sorts of holidays around the world are happening this season. This is a great time where we’re in a collective vibrational frequency of gratitude and celebration.

    I love Thanksgiving because the collective consciousness is focused on Gratitude and Gratitude is one of the highest vibrations we can tune into. Giving thanks helps us become a vibrational match for miracles.

    As we get closer to the end of the year, it’s really powerful to be in gratitude, as this helps set us up for an even more miraculous year ahead.

    Even though Thanksgiving is supposed to be focused on giving thanks, that can be hard.  It’s a time for family gatherings and not everyone is excited to go to family gatherings – there can be unhealed stuff between family members, triggers, or that family members who has that rare gift of saying things that make everyone else uncomfortable. It’s like that quote by Ram Dass that says,

    “If you think you’re enlightened, spend a week with your family.” 

    Giving thanks is powerful because what you put your attention on grows stronger. When you put your attention on what you appreciate, you get more of that.  What you appreciate, appreciates. When your attention is on what you’re grateful for, you start noticing more and more of that. And, the people in your life naturally blossom when they’re seen in that light of gratitude and appreciation.

    On the other hand, when you put your attention on what you judge, you get more of that.  if you’re focusing on what drives you crazy about someone, that’s all you start to notice about them. 

    Giving thanks and appreciation for the people in your life is a gift for you and the people in your life because it shifts the energy between you to a higher vibration.

    Here’s a great way to really apply the principle of giving thanks during your Thanksgiving or holiday gathering with family and friends. It’s called the Appreciation Feast. 

    This can shift your energy and your whole family’s energy:  

    I have been doing this with my family at Thanksgiving for 20 years. On Thanksgiving, we feast on a lot of food, but it’s this feast that has made my recent Thanksgivings awesome.

    We go around the table and appreciate one thing about each person at the table. 

    The first year we did this, we started with my Mom. I said, “Mom, something I appreciate about you is how generous you are.” Then the next person said they appreciated how funny she was. By the end of the appreciations, she was in tears. Then we moved to the next person.

    To do this, you go around the entire table one person at a time until each person is appreciated by everyone. This is such a feast!

    Maybe you think – I don’t know if my family would ever want to do that. Well, you won’t know if you don’t try. And if you start things off by expressing your appreciation for one family member, soon, everyone else will want to chime in and get involved.

    And if you’re not able to get together in person, you can even do an Appreciation Feast over Zoom or video calls.

    If you want to capture this, remember to record it via video. I promise when those people are gone, you’re going to treasure that video!

    One little tip…the first year we did our appreciation feast before the meal, while the meal was getting cold. So, we suggest you do your appreciation feast after the meal and before dessert instead.

    This is a sure way to have a most heart-opening experience of Thanksgiving.

    So, you can start the Appreciation Feast in the comments – what or who are you thankful for in your life? Let’s all be in this miraculous energy of gratitude together. And I’ll leave you with this quote from Meister Eckhart:

    “If the only prayer you said was thank you, that would be enough.”

    I’m wishing you a beautiful holiday season and beyond, and sending you my love!

    Please share with us below who/what are you grateful for in your life…

  • The Thanksgiving Miracle Feast

    The Thanksgiving Miracle Feast

    [et_pb_section admin_label=”section”]

    Welcome to today’s Miracle Moment.

    In the United States, Thanksgiving will be here very soon; in Canada, you celebrated last month. But wherever you are in the world, every day is a great day for Thanksgiving. And, it’s really great that we actually have one day of the year where we turn our primary focus to thankfulness and gratitude.

    Thanksgiving is a vibrational frequency as well. Vibrationally speaking, the Universe operates in a complete celebration, and when we’re in a state of gratitude and praise, we’re resonating at the frequency of the universe. This is a beautiful time of the year when we’re in a collective state of gratitude. A large group of people zero in on that specific vibrational frequency.

    Here’s a wonderful appreciation process that we want to share with you called The Appreciation Feast.

    I (Marci) have been doing this with my family at Thanksgiving for 20 years. On Thanksgiving, we feast on a lot of food, but it’s this feast that has made my recent Thanksgivings awesome.

    We go around the table and appreciate one thing about each person at the table. The first year we did this, we started with my Mom. I said, “Mom, something I appreciate about you is how generous you are.” Then the next person said they appreciated how funny she was. By the end of the appreciations, she was in tears. Then we moved to the next person.

    To do this, you go around the entire table one person at a time until each person is appreciated by everyone. This is such a feast!

    This year, if you’re not able to get together in person, you can do an Appreciation Feast via Skype or a free Zoom account.

    If you want to capture this, remember to record it via video. I promise when those people are gone, you’re going to treasure that video!

    One little tip…the first year we did our appreciation feast before the meal, while the meal was getting cold. So, we suggest you do your appreciation feast after the meal and before dessert instead.

    This is a sure way to have a most heart-opening experience of Thanksgiving.

    I (Marci) want to start the Appreciation Feast early this year by expressing my appreciation for Sue and Lisa — my dear friends and co-teachers in Your Year of Miracles:

    “Sue, something I love and appreciate about you is that you are one of the most extraordinary light beings on the planet. You are truly living in the Miracle Zone. You are the embodiment of what it is we teach in Your Year of Miracles. Being around you, I catch it. I love and honor how you are committed to living your life in the Miracle Zone.

    “Lisa, you are a living and breathing miracle yourself. I’m so grateful for the energy, brightness, and vitality you radiate. You’re an absolute gift in my life and in the lives of each and every person in Your Year of Miracles. Thank you for the incredible impact you make in the world by being who you are and sharing the wisdom from your soul.”

    And we, Sue and Lisa, want to express our appreciation for you:

    “Marci, we so appreciate that you are always looking to the light, to the bright, and you’re seeing that in people and pulling it out. You’re always opening doors and being a wayshower. You show up to people in such a beautiful and amazing way. You see what people can do and become and you inspire them towards their best life.  It is  beautiful when brilliance meets such an uplifting disposition. We so appreciate being in your sphere of engagement—it has changed our lives.”

    How did that expression of appreciation feel for you? Just being in an energy of gratitude and appreciation and the energy of Thanksgiving generally feels really good for everybody.

    AND, we want you to know that we truly appreciate you! We appreciate you for connecting with us and with our miraculous community—the more the merrier! The more that we can appreciate life together and have a commitment to goodness together, the better life becomes.

    Our invitation to you is to spend not just Thanksgiving day, but spend the entire week in a feeling of gratitude and appreciation for life.

    We end this Thanksgiving Miracle Moment with a quote by Meister Eckhart, a 13th century mystic who said…

    “If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is ‘thank you,’ it will be enough.”

    Thank you for your beautiful heart and soul!

    Please share your experience of the Appreciation Feast in the comments section below and on our Facebook page. We love hearing from you!

  • What Valentine’s Day Teaches Us About Self-Love

    What Valentine’s Day Teaches Us About Self-Love

    [et_pb_section bb_built=”1″ admin_label=”section” _builder_version=”3.0.47″][et_pb_row admin_label=”row” _builder_version=”3.0.48″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.21.1″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” z_index_tablet=”500″]

    Today’s Miracle Moment Is About What Valentine’s Day Teaches Us About Self-Love

    You know Valentine’s Day is coming up because if you go into a drugstore, you see entire aisles filled with boxes of chocolate, pink and red fluffy pillows, teddy bears, and all sorts of advertisements that give ideas of what this day should be like. 

    It’s wonderful to have a day dedicated to celebrating love. The challenge can come if it creates certain expectations in our minds about what love should look like.  

    Should our lovability be measured by whether we have a partner or by how many boxes of chocolate we receive or how many Valentine’s cards we got? Definitely not. 

    If we aren’t showered with the affection that we’re hoping for or expecting on Valentine’s Day, we can end up feeling disappointed, believing that we aren’t as loved as we want to be. 

    Or, if we’re not in a primary relationship, it can be easy to create a story about our lovability, especially if we compare ourselves to the images we see everywhere in the media and social media. 

    So our first invitation for you on Valentine’s Day is to drop the expectations on others to shower you with the love that you are.

    Because your core essence IS love!

    Our next invitation is that you treat yourself the way you’d like someone else to treat you on Valentine’s Day. 

    What if we gave ourselves the same level of love, attention, and affection that we hope or expect to receive from someone else? Well, the same thing that happens when someone treats you wonderfully — your heart opens, you feel relaxed, you feel happy. This is a gift we can give ourselves. 

    We can do this in simple ways… Be your own Valentine.

    Do for yourself what you’d want to have for Valentine’s day. That could be having a nice meal or getting yourself some flowers. Write yourself a love letter or Valentine’s card. Tell yourself everything that you love and appreciate about yourself. I know this might seem a bit uncomfortable — we’re not used to this — but just try it out and see how you feel. You’re worthy of receiving that kind of loving care and attention.

    This is a powerful way of showing ourselves how worthy we are. When we act in these loving ways towards ourselves, we naturally build up love for ourselves. And when we spend time nourishing ourselves, we start to believe how worthy and valuable we are — unconditionally. 

    And then, make sure that you do it! 

    We want to leave you with this quote from Oscar Wilde:

     “To love oneself is the beginning of a life-long romance.”

    Happy Valentine’s Day!

    We’d love to hear your comments about how you’re going to shower yourself with love this Valentine’s Day, so please leave them below…

  • Keeping Bright Over the Holidays

    Keeping Bright Over the Holidays


    Welcome to today’s Miracle Moment.

    It’s the holidays and maybe you’re feeling a little stressed, overwhelmed, stretched a bit too thin, or even feeling a little blue. Don’t worry, you’re not alone.

    The rate of depression goes up over the holidays for many reasons. Maybe it’s the thought of dealing with that cranky aunt of yours at the family dinner. Or, maybe it’s the stress of finding the right gift for someone in your life.

    Maybe it’s the financial burden of all of those gifts you feel that you have to purchase. Or, maybe it’s all of the sugar that’s popping up everywhere that you end up eating. For multiple reasons, many people don’t feel happy during the holidays. In fact, December can be a month of burnout.

    Today we’re sharing with you a simple way to get yourself back into the Miracle Zone; a way to keep your energy bright and steady, even when the holiday craziness is all around you.

    I (Dr. Sue) have been working with patients for more than 30 years, and I’ve witnessed how many people experience depression, overwhelm, and stress during the holidays.

    During this time, the breath work I’ve developed is especially helpful as it anchors us in our bodies and hearts and brings us into the present moment. Instead of being in our heads thinking of all we have to do, this breath work allows us to heal,and can remind us that this is a time of miracles on earth– a time to remember that we are made of high frequency energy and light.

    To get back into the Miracle Zone, here’s a simple, but powerful practice…

    1. Begin by breathing down low in your belly. As you inhale, make your belly big.
    2. Exhale, pulling your belly back to your spine.
    3. Inhale making your belly big like Santa’s belly or like a big Buddha belly, and exhale making the belly smaller on the exhale.
    4. Breath in and imagine that a ray of light, a bundle of Holy light, is pouring down into your body.
    5. As you exhale, infuse that light into the cells of your body.
    6. Take another deep breath in from overhead and experience it coming down through the center of your brain, the center of your throat, the center of your chest, the center of your belly.
    7. Exhale into the earth and open the jaw making the sound of haah.

    This vibrational tone allows you to anchor and center yourself at the same time. It pulls you out of the hubbub that’s happening in the world and allows you to drop down into your body to feel an entirely different vibrational frequency moving through you.

    As simple as it seems, this practice can change everything in an instant. It can change your entire experience during the holidays.

    This is the season of lights—there are lights on the trees, candles are lit, you see light everywhere on the outside. Let’s also experience the light within ourselves with this simple practice.

    The holidays are Holy days. Rather than being stressed out and not experiencing the holiness of the season, let’s truly make the holidays Holy days filled with light and love.

    Happy Holy Days with all our love.

    Please share your experience of this breath work practice in the comments section below and on our Facebook page. We love hearing from you!

  • Activating the Light Within

    Activating the Light Within

    Today’s Miracle Moment is about Activating the Light Within…

    When I (Marci) was a little girl and we would celebrate the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah, I used to love lighting the candles on the Menorah. I couldn’t wait to see all those candles lit; it was so much fun! I also used to love walking around the neighborhood with my parents and looking at all of the lights on the houses—it was beautiful and inspiring.

    And when I (Sue) was a kid, I would watch my mom and dad string the lights on the Christmas tree, one branch at a time.

    My mother took such care to make sure everything was precious and perfect. It was so heart-warming to see the glow of light on their faces. It stands out in my mind as one of the most wonderful memories of my childhood.

    Maybe you’ve noticed that during the holiday season, our holiday traditions always include light. It’s really interesting because in the Northern hemisphere it’s the time of the winter solstice, the darkest day of the year. Yet, here we are with all of these lights shining brightly.

    During this time of the year, it’s a wonderful opportunity for us to cultivate and activate our inner light.

    Every culture in history has celebrated light during this time—whether it’s Christmas or Hanukkah or Kwanzaa or other holiday traditions.

    The celebration has always been around light because it’s the time of the year that we’re most able to access our deep light within. The planets, the stars, everything is aligning at this time to allow us to activate our inner light.

    With the gift-giving, parties, and general frenzy of the season, it’s so easy to get focused on the external. Yet, it’s an auspicious time to take some moments to go inside and focus on your own light. As you do that, know that activating your light brings greater light to the world.

    As this beautiful Chinese proverb says,

    Our prayer and our wish for you, for your families, and for everyone is that we all feel that light within our own souls. When we do that, we help create more light on this planet of ours.

    Happy Holidays with our love!
