Janice Gebhardt Life Coaching

Happy New Year dear friends! Start each morning by thanking your bed for a great night's sleep. Thank your body for perfect health. Thank God for your life. Then every day will be the best day. And the year will be your best year! Sending love!

"What are the two most important days of your life? The day you were born and the day you discover why." Mark Twain
Find your joy!

Good morning dear friends! I truly believe this. We can choose with each thought to change our mindset. Sending love!

Good afternoon dear friends! And how you start your new year can really set the tone for the year. This is a great time for reflecting on 2023. What intentions did you set? Did you stick with them? What challenges did you face? How did you get through them?

Look through your journal for highlights of the year. No journal? Try looking through your Google Photos. Practice gratitude for all of the blessings. Maybe start a journal for 2024. I invite you to use this week to really ponder how you want to feel in 2024. Sending love through all of these holidays!

Good morning dear friends. Here's an old picture that makes me smile. I've been reading an incredible book, "The Dream, The Journey, Eternity, And God" by Sara Landon & Mike Dooley.
"When you find yourself in a situation where you are trying to figure something out, attempting to fix something, or thinking you need to do something - and you're feeling some resistance around that - the easiest and best thing to do is to stop and ask, ' What can I do right now that would bring me joy?' "
Following your joy brings you into a higher vibrational level where you can receive inspiration easier. This is my new project, following my joy. The experiment called life continues. Sending love!

Good morning dear friends! More wisdom from Vex King. Some people I love are going through health challenges right now and I am striving towards staying positive and trusting that whatever is for their highest good is happening. I bless them and their doctors.
All of our energy matters. Stay light. Stay in love. Help in whatever ways you can. Sending love!

Good morning dear friends! Wise words from Vex King. Experiment with this. When you find yourself feeling real down, see if you can transform that energy. Pick up a Spiritual book that uplifts you, speak affirmations as you look into a mirror, play uplifting music. YOU GET TO DECIDE HOW TO FEEL! What a gift! I hope today brings you happiness. Sending love!

Good morning dear friends! I hope this finds you feeling healthy and happy. Martin and I had quite the health challenges for the past 2 weeks and I'm so happy to say that we're back on track! It can be difficult to keep our vibrational energy up when illness hits. This week I'm clearing my energy and grounding with smudging, meditation and reading wonderful books. And it's ok to ask for help. We are all here to love unconditionally and support each other. Enjoy this day! Sending love!

Good morning dear friends! Here is the Oracle card I pulled this morning. This is from Collette Baron Reid's Wisdom of the Oracle Deck. The message is so clear. "The feminine principle of receptivity. The art of conscious allowing. Allow things to flow to you. Collaborate and offer your ideas."
Is anyone looking to do some collaborating? I have ideas!
My favorite part of the reading, "How do you want to feel, basking in your success?" Feelings attract the manifesting energy. You might want to ask yourself this powerful question. Journal about those feelings. Visualize your dream and then look for signs to show up as you continue to feel your success. Happy manifesting! Sending love!

Good morning dear friends! As we prepare for the holiday season please remember to stay in the present moment, appreciating all of the beauty and goodness around you. From Ram Dass , "The most important aspect of love is not in giving or the receiving; it's in the being." Be there for the people you love. Be there for your community. Be there for yourself! Sending love!

Good morning dear friends! "I am a Divine conduit for transforming other people's lives." And I would add, thereby transforming my life too. As a life coach I help people to see opportunities for change in their lives. I don't give out answers. I help people to find the answers by looking within. Together, we rise. Sending love!

Good morning dear friends! Happy All Saints Day & Día de Los Mu***os! The veil is very thin today. We can reach within and be guided towards right action. We can remember ancestors who have gone before us. Today I choose to come through the darkness and share my luminosity. Every day we can choose whether to be in victim mode or gratitude mode. Today I choose gratitude. I am grateful for this new month. I am grateful for you! Sending love!

Good morning dear friends! My dear cousin Pamela Nester shared this today. It hits home for me. I've been feeling a little down lately as I process some serious family issues my relatives are going through. I know how to lift my spirits and yet sometimes I find myself back on the couch, over-thinking. If this happens to you also, take this advice. Do one thing. You can always go back to the couch if you want to. Sunday I did very little. Monday I did a little more. Today I aspire to get back out in my garden and commune with Mother Earth. Stepping out of sadness, a little more each day. Sending love!

Good morning dear friends! Happy Friday the 13th! Have no fear. We create our experiences with our thoughts. And I am thinking about how grateful I am for a month of traveling safely through New England and back home. I know that I am truly in the flow because I have been taken care of every step of the way. Look around you at all of the blessings in your life. Some parts might seem sucky right now AND they will work out for the highest good of everyone involved. Repeat after me, "I LOVE MY LIFE!" And then believe it! Sending love!

Good morning dear friends! We are off on another adventure! This week has been super busy with packing the camper and finishing harvesting my garden. I got a little snippy with my sweet husband. Why? Because I felt stressed.
Here's what Louise Hay says about stress. "Stress is a fear reaction to life and to the constant change that is inevitable. . . But if you can equate stress with fear - and understand that feeling stressed is really a fearful reaction - you can begin to eliminate the need for stress in your life."
What was I afraid of? Forgetting to pack something? Letting precious food in my garden go? Sounds like a problem of thinking in terms of lack. I remind myself that my life is abundant. I have plenty of time. "I let go of all tension. Freedom from stress is my Divine right. I am at peace." My relationships are peaceful and loving. May you experience peace every day! Sending love!

Good morning dear friends! I remember how afraid I felt walking along this suspension bridge. I felt excited when I saw it, and then it started to sway as I walked and I really got scared. I knew it was well-built and yet there was that fear of falling into the rapids below me. I made it across the bridge two times!

Wise words from Rev. David Ault "We must face our fears and tentativeness, if for no other reason than to prove how gloriously mistaken we are about our capabilities. Could your fears be nothing more than borrowed burdens?" I am learning to not play small. I am facing my fears, (all except for parachuting, not interested). I hope you take a risk once in a while. Question where the fears came from. Are they actually someone else's, passed on? Maybe you can let some fear go? Expand your horizons! Sending love!

Good morning dear friends! This photo reminds me of what a privilege it was for my sister and I to take turns being the caretakers for our Mother during the last 5 years of her life. It's a very difficult job providing 24 hour care for a loved one. And it's a privilege. A dear friend is going through this now. I refer back to 2 questions she asked me in March, "What are the gifts from this? What is my role in this?" Great questions to journal about! "We are all walking each other home." Ram Dass. I hope you feel supported by your community. I know you're receiving gifts daily. Sending love!

Good morning dear friends! This is my 2nd grade picture. I look at her and wonder if I was happy. Already I had experienced trauma that I shoved down and didn't recall until I was 28. I speak to my inner child often, letting her know that she's safe now and loved.
From Louise Hay, "Most of us have buried many feelings and hurts from the past. Learning to love your inner child is going to take time. Take all the time you need." We will work on healing our inner child at my upcoming Heal Your Life Workshop at Unity Church in Bay City 9/16 & 9/17. Last day to register is 9/13.

Good morning dear friends! I've been reading about knowing our purpose in life. Dennis Merritt Jones writes this, "If we are emotionally aware, passion guides us in knowing what is ours to do. It is energy sublimating through our emotions, communicating with our body. It tells us if what we are doing in the present moment is ripe with purpose. . . Knowing what is ours to do becomes easier when we live close to purpose because passion will always be front and center, like a red flare pointing the way to a joy-filled life."
I urge you to go out and explore what feeds your passion about life. What sparks your interests and energizes you? For me, it's teaching and connecting with people. What might it be for you? I hope you sizzle with purpose today! Sending love!

Good morning dear friends! I'm picking berries, but NOT this one! Wisdom from Louise Hay, "How do we not love ourselves? If we deny our good in any way, it is an act of not loving ourselves." Do we put ourselves down? Lay on the couch for too long? Over-spend our budget? Eat too much junk food?
" I am in the right place at the right time, doing the right thing. All is well in my world."

Good morning dear friends! I feel like crying today, and I will allow it when it comes. This past week has been very emotional, seeing someone strung out on drugs, comforting a grieving family member, speaking with another sad family member, finding a dead dog in the woods, witnessing our family dog get porcupine quills in his mouth. It's been a lot. I'm journaling and centering. Remembering to use the self-care tools that I know. And I'm comforting those who need it, especially myself. I hope you all have a wonderful day. Take care of yourselves, cry, laugh, pray. Look at nature and ground your energy. Sending love!

Good morning dear friends! I'm on the road, doing errands today. I affirm that we'll have safe travels and loving encounters with everyone we meet! More wisdom from Louise Hay, "By doing mirror work, you will become more aware of your inner voice and what you say to yourself. Then you'll be able to release the need to pick on yourself all the time. And when you do, you will notice that you no longer criticize others so much. When you make it okay to be yourself, then you automatically allow others to be themselves."
Let all judgement go! And relax. Sending love!

Good morning dear friends! This beautiful Queen Anne's Lace shines in its perfection. We can do that too! Wise words from Louise Hay today, "Can you imagine how wonderful it would be if you could live your life without ever being criticized by anyone? Wouldn't it be wonderful to feel totally at ease, totally comfortable? . . . You can give this to yourself. You can make the experience of living with yourself the most wonderful experience imaginable." "I am loved and accepted exactly as I am, right here and right now."
YOU ARE WONDERFUL! Sending love!

Good afternoon dear friends! I have been so busy taking morning walks, harvesting the garden, and picking berries. My life is enriched by being out in nature. I walk around singing Louise Hay's affirmations, "I love and approve of myself. I accept and use my own power. My life gets more fabulous every day. Life supports me in every way!"
"I love myself exactly as I am." I hope you love yourself too! Sending love!

Good morning dear friends! Today I am reminded to gratefully receive gifts. My brother found this beautiful feather in the middle of the road as he jogged. He came home and said it's a gift from the angels meaning he's on the right path in his life. And they told him to give it to me. I tried to refuse and he said, "You have to accept it." Thank you dear brother. Thank you angels.
"I am open and receptive to all of the good in the Universe! All of the love, all of the joy, all of the perfect health, all of the prosperity, all of the signs and guides, and all of the feathers!" I am grateful. Sending love
