2018 Master Key

Visualization is the process of making mental images, and the image is the mold or model which will serve as a pattern from which your future will emerge. Make the pattern clear and make it beautiful; do not be afraid; make it grand; remember that no limitation can be placed upon you by any one… Read more

“The knowledge that if we infringe upon the rights of others, we become moral thorns and find ourselves entangled at every turn of the road, should be an indication that success is contingent upon the highest moral ideal, which is “The greatest good to the greatest number.” Aspiration, desire and harmonious relations constantly and persistently… Read more

“The mind, which pervades the body, is largely the result of heredity, which, in turn, is simply the result of all the environments of all past generations on the responsive and ever-moving life forces. An understanding of this fact will enable us to use our authority when we find some undesirable trait of character manifesting.… Read more

I am….whatever I decide to be. I am always in the right place at the right time. I am grateful for new opportunities for success. I am living in total abundance. I am blessed beyond measure. I am proud of who I have become. I am beautiful inside and out. I am strong, fit and… Read more

Conscious thought, then, is master of this sun centre from which the life and energy of theentire body flows and the quality of the thought which we entertain determines the quality of thethought which this sun will radiate, and the character of the thought which our conscious mindentertains will determine the character of the thought… Read more

Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes. Heading into a new session, I am reflecting on where I have been and where I am going. I was introduced to the Master Key Experience 2 years ago and joined as a… Read more

If you’ve been reading my blog through this journey, you may have noticed a crazy thing I do…I have a song for EVERYTHING! Yes, literally everything! It drives my husband crazy! And this evening, I’m thinking about the song by the Carpenters…my momma loved listening to them when I was a little girl. So here… Read more

All of the answers are in nature…by simply doing what you’re designed to do, something magnificent happens.  The only barometer that you have is the heart. When you spot your flower, you can’t let anything get in your way. Being true to your divine spark is effortless. There’s a difference between looking for the truth… Read more

I’ve had a busy week with a school yearbook deadline, so I haven’t been as focused this week on the Master Keys as I would like. But remember this and don’t ever forget, we were all meant to shine as children do… “OUR DEEPEST FEAR IS NOT THAT WE ARE INADEQUATE. OUR DEEPEST FEAR IS… Read more

I haven’t had the chance to take 24+ hours of silence yet, but this newer version of the old Simon & Garfunkel song, sung by Disturbed, blew my mind. “The vision that was planted in my brain still remains within the sound of silence.” Listen to this as you read the lyrics… Hello darkness, my… Read more

Masks and roles…I totally got it this week. Several years ago, I had a major identity crisis. Looking back it seems really silly, but it was such a struggle at the time. When I was in high school, I went to a “missions conference” with my church youth group…one of those “conferences” where all they… Read more

Take the negative roadblocks of guilt, anger, hurt feelings, fear and unworthiness, and use them as tools for good. Sounds crazy right? As I went through the exercises of taking something negative and turning it into a tool to use for my benefit, a couple of things came up. First of all, lack mindset…it’s a… Read more

Don’t die with the music of your soul unplayed… There’s this thing where you know you were meant to do more than what you’re doing now. Even if what you’re already doing is amazing and worthy of your time, you still feel that pull to tweak things. But then life happens and time goes by… Read more

Several weeks into this process I met another Tribe member for coffee. After a discussion about all kinds other things she asked me “why” I was taking this course and I had no idea why honestly, I can’t even remember what I answered. I’ve spent time since then contemplating that question and still didn’t come… Read more

“The greatest sale in the world is to sell yourself to you.” Last week I wasn’t able to listen to the course webinar until later in the week and then every time I would try to listen to it, I would get interrupted and unable finish. After today’s webinar, I took the time to focus… Read more

Aimee Mullins’ Ted Talk was phenomenal! As a teacher, I am all too familiar with the conundrum of letting kids explore and be curious but also being stuck in a place where we also worry about working within “the system” that tries to teach kids what “society expects”. I love that she allowed the children… Read more

“I can be what I will to be.” Will (n.) 4 a: mental powers manifested as wishing, choosing, desiring or intending                  b: a disposition to act according to principles or ends                  c: the collective desire of a group (mastermind!!!)… Read more

So many acts of kindness observed this week…it was refreshing to watch the world through the eyes of looking for kindness, especially in my 2nd grade classroom. 7 & 8 year-olds are amazing, especially when you are purposefully looking for the positives. We did a “word goal” activity and every child put something about being… Read more

Words are important…what we think, what we write, what we speak. The word that stands out to me this week as I’m working through my lessons, sits and reading is HARMONY.  For several years I’ve been on a quest to replace negative thoughts with positive ones, thinking and speaking only that which benefits and encourages… Read more

I love the movie Cool Runnings and watching it with again with a new perspective was amazing! Watch this clip!!! It’s the best part of the movie…then, look in the mirror and tell me what you see! “Well, you want to know what I see? I see pride! I see power! I see a bad-ass mother… Read more

NARC…oh my! Throw my goals, dreams, and purpose for my life in the trash??? Oh no! I am not a quitter! I will not allow me to get in my way of achieving my DMP. But… (stop there, right?!?!?) I fell into the “fearful victim” role in the recent past and this week has been… Read more

The 7 Day Mental Diet is continuing to be a challenge, but the story “Bear Hugs Kettle” helped to put it into perspective for me! I need to do with my negative thoughts what I tell students who are struggling with dealing with difficult people and behaviors that annoy them… I tell them to channel their… Read more

What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans… Read more

The Law of Abundance…for so long I have allowed myself to feel unworthy of truly living an abundant life. Somewhere along the way I learned that being extravagant and lavish was a wasteful, bad thing. Honestly, as I type this, my mind goes back to the summer after I graduated high school and an incident… Read more

“Character is not a thing of chance, but it is the result of continued effort.” Deciding which thoughts I am going to entertain is an ongoing challenge. Rewiring what has been ingrained over the course of an adult lifetime takes work. Choosing to determine my mindset and my reaction to those around me gives me… Read more

Look to this day! For it is life, the very life of life. In its brief course lie all the verities and realities of your existence: The bliss of growth, The glory of action, The splendor of beauty; For yesterday is but a dream, And tomorrow is only a vision; But today, well lived, makes… Read more

*Language Warning* (there is a point to it, otherwise I wouldn’t have used it) Regarding “The Seven Day Mental Diet”…I am starting over this morning (Friday…yes, I tried and failed for 3 days straight, though I did make it more than 24 hours the first try.) But that’s okay because in closing Emmet Fox cautioned… Read more

“When you think everything is someone else’s fault, chances are that you’re looking at the wrong side of the looking glass.” ― Jennifer Megan Varnadore I’m starting with the man in the mirror I’m asking him to change his ways And no message could have been any clearer If you want to make the world… Read more

Let me tell you what I think about……oh never mind! The challenge this week was to have no opinions…don’t share them, don’t give them when asked unless you’re an expert on the subject (as in with your job), and don’t think them. Wait, what? I’m as opinionated as it gets! Like seriously, this shirt should… Read more

I’m late posting this blog because it was a difficult one for me to write, but here it is… “The reason that some cannot do this (mentally let go of all adverse conditions, such as hatred, anger, worry, jealousy, envy, sorrow, trouble or disappointment of any kind) is because they allow themselves to be controlled by… Read more

“Eliminate, therefore, any possible tendency to complain of conditions as they have been, or as they are, because it rests with you to change them and make them what you would like them to be.” This is a challenge for me. Negative mindset has been more of a norm than positive and this is a… Read more

“The career I have chosen is laden with opportunity yet it is fraught with heartbreak and despair….Yet I will not fail…Failure no longer will be my payment for struggle.”
