Fly Your Freak Flag

Express Yourself.  Fly your freaky flag.  Celebrate your unique individuality.  Follow your heart and inspiration.  And allow others to do the same.

Let Go of the Little Things

Let go of all the little things and not so little things that you allow to bother you and take you away from your true Love and Light. Let go of the small stuff, the judgments, the wanting things to be different, wanting people to be different and JUST BE. JUST LOVE. And instead let the little things and the big in life thrill and inspire you into BIGGNESS! ~  Sierra Goodman 

Oceans of Inspiration: Heart Echoes for Living a Life of Joy

Follow Your Passion

The things that manifest best and fastest are the things you are naturally passionate about, without having to try. The things that make your heart sing and your toes wiggle are things that Spirit is leading you to, so everything goes perfectly when you follow THOSE. Passionate inspired desires are the ones that manifest like magic because you don't have to try to get into the feeling place. You are already there! ~ ♥Sierra Goodman ♥ ~

The Birthing of a Book

It started in late 2011… I began to receive all kinds of “birth” messages, signs and messages that I would be birthing something… or someone. A couple of my friends told me they saw a baby dolphin being birthed. Hmmm, that would be most interesting. The birth messages continued into the beginning of 2012 and I knew that something was coming, but I wasn’t sure what. I have been talking about writing a book for several years. I thought my first book would be about my experiences talking to animals and then I thought it would be my weight loss book. The weight loss book is more than ¾ done, it has been for over a year, but I couldn't find the inspiration to complete it and get it out. So I didn't. I just can’t force myself to do things when I am not inspired. That feels like WORK and writing a book should be a joyful expression of Spirit.

I am one of those people who will wait till I am inspired, which is sometimes at the last minute, and then I go into high action gear and belt stuff out. I remember it used to drive my brother crazy that I would leave book reports and other school assignments to the last minute and then I would bust it out and get an A. It’s just how I do things and it works for me.

One day in late October I was out on a dolphin and whale trip and a wave of thought came to me as we were surrounded by dolphins. I was to put together a book of my quotes. This would be a book that people would use as daily inspiration. They could turn to any page and get the message that they need to hear that day or in that moment. The dolphins showed me how they would help me embed the book with their joy and love, through me. Well alrighty then! Swim on ahead!

When I got home I started to put together my quotes and contacted my dear friend, India Redman, who had just spent 10 days visiting me at my rainforest home. When she was there, I didn’t have the book on my mind, but I now knew who was meant to be the graphic designer, especially since she already had experience putting out a book on Amazon’s CreateSpace.

I told India I wanted one of my joyful dolphin photos on the cover and I wanted the quotes surrounded by some swirly, spiraly, dolphin, love graphic. With both the cover and the inside graphic, what she sent the first time was IT. When I saw the cover, it was like I had seen it a million times and I knew there were no changes to be made. It was perfect. First try. Although I didn’t know it at the time, I now know that India and my time together in my sacred space helped to set the energy for this book and our working together.

Everything came together so easily. It was like gliding down a rainbow wave. Everything lined up perfectly. Once I got to California, I got a strong message that the book should be published on November 22. 11/22/12. I am a big fan of number alignment so I told India and we went into high gear to get the book submitted, and again, everything fell into place. The book has a publishing date of 11/22. Every time I go to Amazon and see that, I smile and get the chills.

India also came up with the design for the website and I went forward putting it together but very quickly realized that my web design abilities are soooo last decade as I have not kept up with new programs and programming for the latest versions of the browsers. After some frustration I decided to call in the professionals and contacted my friend Travis who runs a very successful web design business. He did a great job cleaning up my mess and the website went from being a struggle for me to ease and joy. Sometimes we just gotta delegate and let everyone be in the zone of genius. Website design is not mine.

I still needed to wait for my book to appear in Amazon’s listings and knew that Monday, 11/26 would be the day. And sure enough, early in the morning, there it was. My book. My name as author. Me. Published. Right there on Amazon.com. Woo Hoo!!

Yesterday was a magical day in so many ways. It was a day of birth, the birth of my book baby with a dolphin on the front. It feels so amazing to bring Joy and Inspiration to the people in this way. I walked outside and a flock of birds, swallows I think, created an amazing design in the sky as they flew in a tight formation in unison. The seagulls and crows circled directly above. I kept hearing to get into the water so I filled up my parent’s Jacuzzi bath with warm coconut oil filled water.

As soon as I touched the water I felt the dolphins come in very strongly. I was not alone in that bathtub! They thanked me for being a vessel through which they can express their joy and love. They showed me how they have jumped into each and every book that gets printed helping me to embed each book with their joy, love and light. I closed my eyes and we joined in a prayer that every single person who touches my book feels peace, calm, worthiness, freedom, confidence, joy, love and light. In that moment I literally saw a dolphin stampede all around me and they showed me how they were carrying that energy from the prayer through the book, across the planet, across the Universe and once again I was shown the map with points of light, everywhere my positive influence and joy vibe is reached and felt. It is brighter than ever.

Yesterday I already received offers to translate the book into Slovanian, Italian and Spanish. I have been offered interviews too. This is FUN!! Giving birth was not as bad as I thought it would be. In fact it was a most divine experience. All the gain, none of the pain. This is how it works when we act when inspired, follow our heart, surrender and let the Universe lead the way.

My Statements of Being for 2012 - HAPPY NEW YEAR!

 (I wrote this for New Years 2010 and with a few tweaks, it is ready for 2012!)

Ah, New Year’s Resolutions… how many have we made… and broken over the years? This year making “resolutions” didn’t seem to resonate with me. I want to step further into the ME that my inner/higher self IS. I am becoming more of who I really am. So I decided instead to write “Statements of Being”. Statements of Who I Am and Who I Am Becoming.

I’ve done a lot of seeking. I know the teachings of many great teachers. I’ve done a lot of searching for the fundamental questions I had, like who am I and why am I here? I already know the answers. Now it’s time to not only KNOW these teachings on an intellectual level, but to BECOME them, EMBODY them, LIVE them. In every moment possible.

I write these Statements of Being not only as a statement to the Universe of Who I Really Am, but also as a reminder to myself on days that I seem to forget or find myself really bored and disconnected. Kind of like a spiritual cheat sheet. LOL. It happens to the very best of us… after all, we DID come here for the human experience. So when I find myself lost in my human experience, oblivious to my role as the Observer, temporarily forgetting why I am here and WHO I REALLY AM, I shall read my Statements of Being and remember… once again.

It is the gift I give to myself that will keep on giving, just when I need it.

When I am focused on my connection to All that Is, all these things just happen naturally, I AM BEING my higher self and I don’t have to read a list to remember how to be and who I am. But it’s when I am a little off kilter that these Statements will serve me well as reminders that beam me back up to my heart connection.

I fully believe in the power of writing things down as it sends my passionate desires and statements of being into the Ethers of the Universe and also serves to get me into the feeling/becoming place. It has always worked for me. I keep a Master List such as the one below and then create more detailed lists about various subjects that I break out from the Master List (abundance, health, relationships, homes, careers, etc.) So, I shall continue for this year of 2012, the year of the Big Shift. The year of ACTION!!

• I expect the best possible outcome. And so it is.

• Everything always works out for me.

• I am lucky, I am blessed, I am divinely guided at all times.

• I follow my own guidance; I always go with what feels best to me, no matter what others say.

• I know that divine orchestration and divine timing is always in play.

• I let go of limiting relationships and beliefs with ease.

• I came here for the human game, and I play it with joy.

• I do not depend upon other people, places, things, surroundings events for my happiness. Only I am responsible for my happiness. And that gives me all the power over my experience.

• I see others through my broad Source Perspective of Love.

• I know that in any given moment, I have the choice of how I feel, and I choose the higher, broader, perspective of love and well being.

• I notice and appreciate the synchronicities, I notice and appreciate the magic, I notice and appreciate the divine love and well being in everything.

• I take what resonates for me and become it NOW. I release the rest with ease.

• I ask myself “What are the unlimited beliefs I can hold about this and why not think them now?”

• I know that passion creates manifestation, so I acknowledge what makes me passionate and focus on THAT!

• I take complete and total responsibility for anything I create in my reality, and when I perceive something that I have created as not wanted, I look at it as an opportunity to show me what I do want and grab the golden nuggets. And then I focus on and get passionate about THOSE.

• I always know exactly where I am vibrating and what my beliefs are in any given situation by looking at my checking account, my relationships, what I am manifesting, and if they are not where I want them to be, I do the vibrational/belief work to shift them.

• Just as I want others to allow me to be, I allow others to be. And I BE ME. True to myself. My authentic self. Always.

• I ask myself…. “Is what I am thinking right now what I want in my reality? Is what I am thinking in alignment with who I really am?” If yes, continue thought process, if no, it’s thought shift time.

• Thou shalt follow my bliss.

• I remember to reference these Statements of Being when I need them.

• Joy is the balance point and I easily release anything else that takes me off balance.

• I am in my heart space and step out for no one and nothing. It feels too good in here!

• This is the year of ACTION. 2012 is the best year EVER!

• Before writing, talking, acting… I ask, “Does this come from a place of inspiration, from a place of love, does this serve me and others?”

• I am living out loud and singing out loud.

• I bask in my uniqueness. It’s fun to be freaky!!

• I love myself unconditionally and know that I am worthy of all my desires.

• I am keeping my thoughts in the NOW. If I find my thoughts wandering, I gently bring them back to NOW. Like a waking meditation. All the time.

• I am pure source energy expressing in a human body and I fully embrace my human experience.

• I hold the vibrations of pure love and appreciation.

• I am more cat-like… including taking cat naps when my body asks for them and stretching like a cat.

• I act from inspiration, not shoulds.

• When I get comfortable in my life and creations, and especially then, I remember to continue expanding through the ways that work for me. After all, we never get it done.

• I am applying the unlimiting beliefs I have about things I already do and manifest well to the areas in my life where I want to create unlimited beliefs.

• I feel first, then think.

• I speak of only possibilities instead of arguing for limitations.

• My beliefs are only thoughts I keep thinking. I can change my beliefs by changing my thoughts and emotional response to them. One by one, or bunches at a time.

• I am thinking the thoughts that match what I want until I believe them. I use my imagination and visualization to FEEL FORWARD until it is TRUE.

• I am laughing… a lot

• When I find myself beginning to resist things that are working for me (listening to affirmations at night, reading a particular book, or whatever), I remember that it is my limiting beliefs fighting for their lives causing the resistance. I remember why I want to change these beliefs, keep doing what is working for me for at least 17 days, and therefore create new unlimited beliefs by rewiring my brain.

• I am of divine service to others, not out of obligation, but from inspiration.

• I am dancing as if no one is watching
