By now, you're a master "What If Upper" in your own life, right?  Why not take it to the next level? What if you help others see possibilities when they speak to you of limitations? What if you help others consider compassion when they speak to you from judgement? What if, when fear, stress, anxiety or blame creep into your environment (at home, at work, and beyond!) YOU are the one who leads the way to hope, encouragement and faith? "Be aware of what ...

Most of the people in my life these days are extraordinary givers. Occasionally, thought, these "master givers" find it challenging to RECEIVE to the same degree that they give.  What if, this week, you consciously open your heart to receiving the gifts around you, whether it's a kind word, a beautiful sunset, a paycheck, or an unexpected surprise?   What if, by allowing yourself to freely receive these gifts from your heart, you bless the giver in a profound and meaningful way?  What if, by mastering the art of RECEIVING, you discover that you have ...

Assume for a moment that well-being is your nature, that the Universe is conspiring for your success, and that abundance is your natural state.  All we have to do is stick our boat in the water and steer... What if we allow that stream of Goodness to move us through every interaction this week?  What if we lean into the power of this Divine Flow and it naturally pulls us around each obstacle on our path? What if we let go of all resistance to our own brilliance, beauty, and magnificence and simply enjoy the ...

Set aside the philosophical conversation about whether or not it's true.  Imagine for a moment what it would be like to claim 100% responsibility for EVERYTHING in your life... What if claiming responsibility for every aspect of our experience could be a pathway to freedom instead of a one-way ticket on a guilt trip? What if owning our reality helped us more quickly see the gifts in those "difficult people" who wander into our lives? What if taking 100% responsibility for our failures and our successes(!) ...

Ever noticed the connection between how you see the world and how the world shows up for you? What if every challenging person or situation in life serves as a gentle nudge to heal something within yourself? What if shifting from frustration and judgment to compassion and acceptance creates a radical shift in the events and opportunities that show up for you? What if every person, place and circumstance "out there" is a mirror reflecting the milestones of our soul's ...

The first obstacle every great visionary must overcome is the apparent lack of resources to make the vision a reality. What if that's what every miracle looks like right before it is born? What if you assess the resources you do have and begin pulling them together to make your vision manifest? What if you bless every resource, from raw materials to intangible support from people you know? What if, by focusing your attention on what you have (no matter how insignificant it might seem!) it begins ...

I had a great Mother's Day. People I didn't know waved to me as I rode my bike through the park with my daughter... It was a day of surprises and adventures. Everything seemed to go my way. So I thought, "What would happen if we woke up every day believing it was made just for us??" What if everything that happens to us is part of a secret plan to bless and celebrate who we are in fun and perhaps subtle ways? What ...

I just returned from a fabulous women's retreat where I was invited to share my "What If Up" process.  I admit that I had planned to sneak in some "productive" work-time between activities.  But my laptop protested, and my fortune cookie said, "Relax and enjoy!" What a concept!  What if taking time to "relax" every now and then actually makes us more productive? What if creating "downtime" for yourself becomes as important as any other appointment ...

The legendary visionary Buckminster Fuller demonstrated the concept with the bumblebee: In the grand scope of nature, the purpose of the bumblebee is to pollinate flowers. Life as we know it would not exist without them. But what if, to the bee, each day is just a chance to drink more of that sweet floral nectar? What if, like the bumblebee, when we follow our own heart's call, we are actually fulfilling a ...

LaRue Eppler is a gifted intuition coach and I credit her completely with this week's possibility. I met her at a recent event where we were both featured speakers.  Her passion is not just helping people access their intuition... She helps you TRUST it. What if you empower your intuition this week by trusting your hunches and acting upon those inner nudges? What if, you take notice of all the times your intuition leads to ...
