For the last 30 years of my life I have been struggling with my life as a working mother of 3, a “want to be” perfect wife, daughter, grandmother, house-maker, and keeping the house in perfect order. I have spent so much money on books, trying to find a way to manage it all, and, to “keep my house in order”, that the subject became an obsession.
At the beginning I blamed my children, then my husband, the grandchildren, but at the end, the blame (in my mind) fell on me, the I want to be “perfect wonder woman”.
With the help and guidance of my Life Coach, Coach Arthur, I realized that I can accomplish my dreams, if I organize my time, and let go of unnecessary “stuff” that have no place in our home.
Thank you Coach. Arthur, thank you for your wisdom and your help!
M. S., Secretary – Mother of 3 -Miami, Florida

“While working with Coach Arthur as my coach I have been thoroughly impressed with her ability to bring attention to what is most important. She really listened, gave me excellent ideas, and offered me her sage wisdom to take with me into my accomplishments.
Achieving my goals has been incredibly easy with her support. I mostly appreciate the clear and intelligent distinctions she has made that have allowed me to positively transform the way I’m doing something or how I’m viewing my life. Through her coaching I learned to give myself permission to succeed.
I’m in so much gratitude for what Coach Arthur brought forth in me at a time when I really needed the extra support. She is truly a brilliant star in my world.”
T. D., Life Coach, San Diego, CA

I must admit that in the beginning, I had no idea as to what a life coach was. I assumed that it would be like my uneventful meetings with the psychologist. I did not realize that I would see immediate results after the first session. Coach Arthur guides you step by step towards reaching your aim. Each week, Coach Arthur helped me to set small attainable goals that ultimately led to my success. Having Coach Arthur as my Life Coach is like having my own personal cheerleader rooting me on 24/7.
Y. F., Teacher, Mother – Miami, Florida

I tried Coach Arthur to release my debt and become liquid. Once I had my first session I felt inspired and ready to accomplish my goal. Coach Arthur was very firm in her follow up and held me accountable for my choices. I am still in the process of reaching my goal but I actually see a light at the end of the tunnel and my shopping habit has decreased quite a bit. I expect to be debt free in about a year and I have to thank Coach Arthur for leading me to realize my goal.
G. Z. P., Mother, Insurance Adjuster, Orlando, Florida

Some times you go thru life struggling with an “invisible enemy”, a problem, blaming family members for your “failures”, your spouse, your children. Then a Life Coach steps in, helps you make a few changes, then you realize that the so called “problem”, that has been hunting you for years, is inside of you, IS YOU !
I want to take this opportunity to thank my Life Coach, Ms. Miriam Carlota Arthur for guiding me, for being so patient, for telling me the “reality” in a way that I could see it, for not getting frustrated when I kept making the same mistake day after day, until the light came to me , and her words made me see!
Thank you!
M. S.,Secretary, Miami, Florida

I’m happy to share my experience. Just one session with Coach Arthur and I feel much more focused and relaxed. Because of this, I got a jump-start back into a more productive groove. It’s a good feeling to suddenly see, to become aware of, what the holdup has been. I snapped out of my funk, with Coach Arthur’s help, and I feel more hopeful, positive and happy. Thanks for the freebie, Coach Arthur! It was a pleasure to work with you! I highly recommend you as a life coach.
B., Chemist, Raleigh, North Carolina

My interaction with Coach Arthur was very lasting since she is very easy to talk to, friendly and eager to genuinely help others in need of professional and personal guidelines. I have not met a Life Coach like her before. I also continue to enjoy her correspondence as well as her web site inspirational and meaningful stories which most often relate to our personal lives.
W. J. M., Miami, Florida

Skeptical would have to be the word and the feeling I had when i reached out to Coach Arthur with questions and concerns on a new direction in my life. I had enough questions for myself and wasn’t sure if I had the self esteem to share my “fears with someone else. Coach Arthur got straight to the point and was so on target from Day one that it shocked me that I had so much information about “Me” in one day. I sat still for a moment and when I begin working the process I immediately felt some relief about my new direction in my life. During the remaining time with Coach Arthur I noticed plans that I had been holding on to for quite some time became tangible goals that I was completing or either I had placed them in my path to complete. I could see the forest.

Failure is not an option!

A perceived failure can only be described as such if the lesson is not learned. 

When we choose to learn humility, forgiveness, depth of reflection and better decision making skills, then, we have not failed.
Once a lesson is learned, it cannot possibly be a failure.

Everything happens for a reason and everything happens for our Highest Good! GOD is in the Business of Our Highest good. Therefore, if it happens and we learn the lesson, then, we can name the situation good and very good. 

The people that we admire and those we call GREAT have experienced situations that can be described as failures. What is the difference between them and a regular person?
They have made a conscious decision to dig deep within themselves and find the strength to get back up. 

If a situation is in front of Us, is because we have everything within us to be successful, therefore it cannot be a failure.

Life is a “Thinking Thing” and failure is not a thought that should be an option!

Happy New Year!

Is True that children do not come with an instructional manual, however, with that being said, we are more prepared than our parents ever were to raise children with a healthy self esteem and self worth.

To achieve this objective there are certain strategies that MUST be put into place in our daily parenting journey. Below are 11 strategies that will guarantee our children do not need to have therapy during their later years! :)

1. Our Children came from us, however, they are here to serve their own given GOD Purpose. We MUST allow them their space in order to become who GOD created them to be. Showing them unconditional LOVE, and accepting them, teaches them that it is safe to be who GOD created them to be!
2. Having Honest conversations with our children go a long way. Speak to your children about EVERYTHING based on their age. Teach them about your bills, your budget, your childhood, your teen years.
3. Use your experiences so that they understand that you are not from Mars. You have to speak to them, not in judgement, not preaching, not lecturing, but have honest communications about feelings and aspirations.
4. Teach them that an ATM machine is not a magical box and that groceries, gas, clothing, extracurricular activities cost! Show them the value of a dollar. Teach them to make a budget. 
5. Choose to take the time to LISTEN! No matter what you hear, try your BEST not to use judging words! Listen and then, go to the bathroom or your room and scream, but DO NOT allow your children to feel you are condemning them for sharing their experiences with you!
6. Consequences are needed in your child’s life! Consequences is a better word than punishment as punishment has a negative connotation. At this time is when I tell you no spanking, however, I am not totally convinced that no spanking is the way to go, so I shall leave it as food for thoughts! The bottom line is that boundaries have to be set and your child MUST know when you are serious and when negotiations can take place. 
7. Become your child’s greatest “ADVOCATE!” Encourage your child to do what they are passionate about and support them! Become that “soccer MOM,” Drama Dad.”
8. Act as you say! Look at your behavior, are you acting in a way that would be pleasing to you if you saw your child acting in that manner? The days of “do as I do and not as I say” are gone! We have to be responsible to be life models for our children. 
9. Do not bully your children! Do not call them names! Do not make fun of them! ALWAYS validate their feelings. 
10. Having fun is a positive way to deal with Life! Humor is healthy! Remember, humor at the expense of your child is not acceptable!
11. Make it a priority to learn what makes your child tick! Learn each developmental stage your child is going through and the BEST strategies to assist in this development. If you need assistance with these 11 steps, do not hesitate to email me, niecatlifecoach@yahoo.com for a FREE 20 minute Parent Life Coaching session.

I am a now a more selective sifter of the reality that I face. I have discovered that whatever reality I am facing; whatever reality I am talking about, thinking about, remembering, regurgitating, whatever reality I am making statistics of, whatever reality I am holding for very long in my vibration becomes my own reality. I am now particular about the realities that I replicate.

I can create My reality!

I can create my reality!

I can create my reality!

I can choose the reality I am creating!

I am a creator!

I can create what ever I want!

I can I and I will create anything I give my attention to!

Breath!

If you want to become a conscious creator, I can show you how!

FAITH Is a Powerful Tool!

FAITH is the type of tool that changes your life because it changes you!

FAITH allows you to be in a different zone within yourself. FAITH allows you to have total confidence in a power within you but that is not you. This Power can achieve things for you that you cannot achieve yourself. 

As you exercise FAITH, you no longer have a need to enjoy a victim consciousness. 

FAITH allows you to elevate into a state of possibility, which allows you to attract more positive outcomes. Wherever you decide to place your FAITH will determine what happens next in your Life, World & Affairs. 

You have a choice of using your FAITH faculty to have faith in the power of the world or FAITH in the Power of miracles.

You can choose to have faith in the power of fear, or FAITH in the Power of LOVE.

You can choose to have faith in the power of  the naked eye or FAITH in the GOD that lives within You!

I’m Choosing to believe in Miracles,

Daily Devotions & Reflections

For Reflection On Choosing Faith

There are many choices we must make on a daily basis. We can choose to be bitter or we can choose to be BETTER.

Today I submit to you that we should ALL choose BETTER. When we choose bitter, we bring forth more bitterness into our lives, world and affairs.

As I ponder upon what I have gone through I choose to forgive myself and I choose to forgive others, I release past hurts and I choose to be good to me. I release myself from past experiences that I perceived as hurtful.

Choosing to stay bitter, choosing to stay hurt may allow me to feel the support of others, the pitty of others for awhile, however, this trend will not put me in the pass to my Highest Good! I will not be able to begin again in this stage.

In order for me to have miracles in my life, in order for GOD to Truly direct my steps, I have to choose BETTER, I have to choose me and I can’t choose me if I choose bitter.

I have a choice, I can choose to have a grievance or I can choose to be and to have a miracle, bottom line, I can’t choose both.

I choose BETTER!

I do my Spiritual work on a daily basis! I wake up really early in the morning and I read my Spiritual books, I do my prayers, and I meditate while I shower. As I get dress, I am listening to either Joel Osteen, Troy Gramling, Joyce Mayer, or Bishop TD Jakes. By the time I am dressed and ready to go out the door, I am ready for the world! I am ready to Bless everyone and Greet the CHRIST in them, but then, others’ imperfection, their wounded spirits, their beliefs different than my on or my own imperfection get in my way. This is the time that I MUST use FORGIVENESS!

Forgiveness means seeing in FAITH a LOVE that is GREATER than the actual experiences, or the past experiences. I MUST be willing to see beyond someone’s dark personality to their Soul where their GOD Self resides. To FORGIVE does not mean that I do not acknowledge that other people’s behavior has caused me or someone else discomfort, I simply choose not to focus on the action. Focusing on the action will make it real to me and that makes it real for me.

The ONLY way to protect myself from being vulnerable to other’s behavior is to identify with the person’s Higher Power – Their GOD Within. I can choose to look beyond other’s behavior and concentrate on their GOD Self. By using this strategy I FREE the individual from my condemnation, but I also FREE myself as well. This is the meaning of Forgiveness!

Today is Labor Day as well as the 250 day of 2015. I choose to use this day as a day of reflection. A day to be Grateful for what GOD Has Blessed me with and to look forward in Faith, anticipation and good feelings for what GOD has in store for me.

On this day I remind myself that I Am GOD’s Beloved child who HE is well pleased with! Being GOD’s child brings me GOD’s Favor and Grace in my life, world and affairs.

GOD Is my Father/Mother GOD and therefore GOD is ALWAYS wanting the BEST for me. It is up to me to bring my good into expression; I do that by allowing GOD’s good in. In other words, by doing GOD’s Will and not my own!

“Bless Up before You Show Up!”  Coach Arthur

Have you ever notice how many things happen without your assistance? Your heart beats, your five senses work, the planets revolve around the sun, and seeds become plants, trees and flowers. Babies begin as embryos and this all happens without your help. All these things happen because of a natural built in system. The beauty of this is that you are an integral part of this system. You can allow this natural force to direct your life or you can try to do your life ALL by yourself.

Faith is trusting on that natural system. Faith is believing that the Universe is on your side, and the Powers that be (GOD) wants the BEST for you! Faith is believing that GOD Is on Your side and GOD wants you to win. Faith is knowing that GOD, the Universe, the natural built in system wants the BEST for you. Faith is the mental awareness that everything that happens to you happens to you for your Highest Good and ALL will be well! Any attempt in your part to interfere will only result in delays and unwanted experiences. Your ability and willingness to let go and let GOD allows your life to unfold in your behalf!

Without Faith you will always try to control the outcome of your life. You will always try to control what is not your business to control and fix what is not in your power to fix. What you are trying to deal with is BETTER without your assistance. What you are trying to fix cannot be fixed by you! When you do not practice Faith you are wasting your time.  Why bother????????????????

When speaking spiritually, there is no competition! No one can be who you are a Destined to be. There is no competition to be you. No one else can be you as well as you can. You are made in the image and likeness of GOD and you are a unique expression of the Mind of GOD! Your place in the universe is secured. There is a major function which brings you to this earth plane and whatever it is, only YOU can do it! You are the ONLY person who can be the BEST at being you!

It is a humble experience to think that GOD place you here for such a time as this. This is not arrogance, this is TRUTH! Your main objective in life is to actualize your own potential.

Your assignment, should you choose to fulfill it, is to become who GOD created you to be and to become. Your objective is to be the person you are capable of being. This is your starting line in order to be open and receptive to bringing forth your kindness, your positivity, your vulnerability and your availability to do life to your highest potential.

Knowing the TRUTH and practicing the TRUTH are 2 different practices! Knowing that you are created in the image and likeness of GOD, knowing that you are PERFECT just the way you are is one thing. Feeling and acting as if you are created in the image and likeness of GOD, therefore you are PERFECT as you are right now can be somewhat challenging. In order to bring the TRUTH of what you know into practice, you have to say YES to yourself. You have to be willing to be healed. Accepting yourself as GOD created you is the first step. This will place you on the road to experiencing the TRUTH that you already know within.

Asking GOD for healing of your “Self-Perception” is the second step. Take an inventory, and look for places in your conscious mind where you feel self-doubt, insecure or not enough; these are the thought patterns that need to be healed. Once you identify the thoughts, you can begin the third step by healing the thoughts that bring you to a false sense of self. These are the thoughts that make you forget the TRUTH about yourself.

The fourth and final step is to continuously remind yourself that you are a child of the Most High GOD, You are whole, You are healthy and You are complete. You have it within you to remain in this consciousness forever!

As per the Center for parenting, there are ten key strategies to raising children. Below you can read and share this blog with others.

1.  Children thrive BEST in a home filled with respect and LOVE. The respect must be a 2 way street. Parents must respect their children and children must do the same.
2. It is important that parents listen to their children. Listen with a quite non-judgmental ear as your children share their feelings and thoughts.
3. The main emphasis should be what is good and positive about your children.
4. Allow your children to learn and do tasks for themselves.
5. Be cognizant of what your children can accomplish based on their age, maturity and skill level. Celebrate their accomplishments!
6. Be “consistent!” Do what you say you are going to do.
7. Do not become physical, emotionally or mentally abusive.
8. Admit when you make mistakes. Be aware of your mistakes and teach your children that mistakes have lessons within them to be learned.
9. Behave how you expect your children to behave.
10. Laughter is the BEST medicine. Make sure your home is filled with a sense of humor.

Every parent wants the best for their children. Ideally, every parent wants their children to be happy, healthy and grateful. As a matter of fact, research indicates that modern families classify “gratitude as one of the traits of a healthy family.
It is easy and natural to teach children to say “thank you,” but the challenge is to teach them the feeling of gratitude. The benefits of having a thankful heart and living in a manner where being thankful is a way of life is ideally what every family should strive for. Raising children who live in a thankful state will create individuals who will experience stronger social relationships, life satisfaction, stronger psycholigical well being as well as overall good health.
Gratitude is more than just saying thank you. Gratitude is not just a behavior. Gratitude is an internal experience. According to a research study done in Raising Grateful Children, there is a four-part model of gratitude that concentrates on the items that people give us. The four parts are: analyzing why the items were given, connecting receiving gifts to the feeling it creates, having appreciation for the gift received and showing appreciation for the gift received. The game plan for assuring your child develops heartfelt gratitude is to begin the habit of engaging the 4 parts of the gratitude model, NOTICE-THINK-FEEL-DO. Below are five strategies to foster gratitude within children.
MODEL THANFULNESS
Parents who are grateful daily for the trivial things have children who develop a grateful attitude. As a matter of fact, parents who demonstrate a grateful attitude daily have a higher chance to demonstrate parenting behaviors that foster gratitude. An ideal practice would be to model gratitude by expressing appreciation. Parents should also consider the benefits their children will acquire by seeing them model the NOTICE-THINK-FEEL-DO attributes of gratefulness. These internal behaviors can simply be implemented by sharing thoughts of gratitude out loud.

EMBED IT
The decision a parent makes on what type of environment or niches they create for their children is vital on creating an attitude of gratitude. The niches parents create such as afterschool activity to the playground they choose to spend time should be guided by the goal which is creating an attitude of gratitude. Research confirms that parents who choose activities for their children that instill gratitude create children with grateful hearts. This is vital because it gives parents the tools to affect the children’s attitude of gratitude. Parents should be mindful of the environment they select for their children. There should be a balance in activities that foster healthy bodies and competition and activities which engage children in civic engagement and community service. When parent make a conscious effort of creating children with grateful hearts, the choices made of where time will be spent benefit the children in several ways.

TALK ABOUT IT WHEN IT IS THERE
Parents should take advantage of moments when their children share gratitude as “teachable moments.” Using open-ended questions will allow children to remember grateful experiences with greater details.
TALK ABOUT IT WHEN IT IS NOT THERE
The study found that parents found it challenging to speak with their children about times when they were not grateful. When the children missed an opportunity to share gratefulness, when they showed entitlement or simply missed the opportunity to experience gratitude the parent may feel upset, can be embarrassed and discouraged. The question is how does a parent keep their cool and help children to use these challenging situations as a learning opportunity? In order for parents to speak to their children about missed opportunities for gratitude, parents need to start by using the same conversational skills when talking about times of gratitude. Listening carefully to children’s experiences of these moments, through open-ended child-centered conversation, may provide parents with clues as to what is getting in the way of their children experiencing gratitude. Are they making assumptions about how a gift came their way? Are they focusing on something else in the moment that is important to them and distracting them? Do they not yet have the skill of seeing the situation from someone else’s perspective? These are questions that parents need to ponder if faced with this challenge.
By first learning about how children see these moments, parents may gain new insights into how to get these moments back on track and help children to catch opportunities for gratitude when they come along.
REPEAT IT OFTEN
To become proficient at anything, one needs practice, reflection and time to become an expert at the skill. Is challenging for children to analyze gifts received through thoughts and feelings since it demands for them to depend upon other-focused developmental skills such as perspective and empathy. As children’s brains mature and they practice gratitude, the skills become easier. They become proficient in learning to make the connection between thoughts and feelings and this practice becomes a lifelong skill that everyone uses over their life time. As children get older, their opportunities to experience gratitude attitude increases. Children who can develop the skill to receive the gift behind the gift are in a better position to experience gratitude in a deeper manner and by developing this skill they are able to express gratitude to others in a deeper level.

The research to teach parents how to develop children with grateful hearts is vast. Reading all the advice can become really overwhelming to parents.

The GGSC’s coverage of gratitude is sponsored by the John Templeton Foundation as part of our Expanding Gratitude project.

“The groundwork to abundance is right thinking.”

There is a simple inner recipe to manifest “abundance.”  The recipe requires “Right thinking!”

The first ingredient to manifest abundance is right thinking. You must know without a shadow of a doubt that abundance is yours. You are entitled to abundance! Abundance is yours for the asking! GOD Created you with everything you need and want in abundance!

The second ingredient is to be convinced that “how” abundance is manifested into your life is none of your business.

Once the first 2 ingredients are solidified in your thinking, the next ingredient is to ask for what you want, describe the abundance you want to see in your life, world and affair.

The last and most important ingredient is Faith!  You must have Faith beyond a shadow of a doubt that the abundance you asked for is yours. You must feel the feeling you will have knowing that the abundance is already yours.

Allow your Faith to be activated and feel the feeling that you will have when your abundance is present. Activate your imagination!

As you work on your right thinking to lay your groundwork to your abundance, it is important that you keep in mind the details of your abundance is GOD’s job. You only need to ask, believe and relax, in other words, have FAITH.
