What is YOUR Vibration?  What does it look like during times of personal and global challenge?

Author

Sue's Angelic Wisdom comes from 3 near-death experiences where the angelic realm saved her life and spoke to her, offering her the opportunity to share their wisdom.  I hope you enjoy this extraordinary guidance during these extraordinary times.

What is your personal vibration?  Why is it important?  The above image touches our hearts with the vibration of love, regardless of the color of our skin, our religious preferences or the language we speak.  Your vibration is your "calling card" or essence of who you are.  It is your thought patterns mixed in with your desires for the future.  It is like a radio tower putting out radio signals of who you are and why you are here. 

Not only do we have Covid19  to challenge us but our understanding of loving ALL of humanity and all beings has come into global vibration with the unbelievably sad passing of George Floyd.  What an enormous sacrifice he has made to bring us to this point of understanding that there is NO separation from each other regardless of beliefs, language or skin color.  We are all children of God, of the same Source. 


The Angels speak now:
  • YOU are extraordinary! 
  • You are a vessel of love.  THAT WAS YOUR VIBRATION AT BIRTH!
  • The vibration of your love can transform the lives of others.  A simple smile is all it takes.
  • When you honor  your life, you will honor all lives.
  • Your honoring of life can change the vibration of the earth and the safety and peace of its inhabitants.
  • Every day do something that gives you GREAT JOY!
  • Do not go back to the past to find happiness.  It is in today.
  • TODAY is the day to build your vibration to a higher level of inclusiveness.  Love ALL!  Honor ALL!
  • Tomorrow is what dreams are made of.  WHAT IS YOUR LIFETIME DREAM?
  • Act on every dream that gives you an uplifting, passionate feeling coming from your heart. This is your original vibration:  LOVE!


              "YOU are extraordinary! Be safe, be well and know that you are loved beyond measure!"

          
From Sue:
  • As a side note, you may have physical changes as your level of vibration into greater love changes who you are becoming.  You could experience some or all of the following: 
  • Fatigue
  • Depression
  • Stomach upset
  • Muscle aches
  • Headaches

These may not be due to Covid19, but due to your body absorbing the new energies that are entering the earth's atmosphere.  They should subside by the end of 2020.

We Are Now a DIY (Do-It-Yourself) Society!
Picture


 What is a DIY Society?  It is a society of people who want their personal freedom in the forefront of their lives.  We are learning more about ourselves and what we are capable of everyday, especially during challenging times like this Covid19.  If you read Angelic Message #1, you will see that the information I relay to you is with the guidance of the angelic realm that lives with us every minute of every day.  I do not know who these extraordinary beings are because so many different ones have come to me over the years, in visual  and auditory connection.  I so hope you enjoy their Words of Wisdom.

DIY  is all about these revelations:
  • "You are extraordinary and capable of so much more than you know."
  • "No one else can define your gifts and talents - only you."
  • "Live from the inside out - from your heart vs. your brain. The heart has a brain of its own."
  • "ALWAYS love yourself first.  You will then feel 'I can vs. I can't'". 
  • "You can love others as you love yourself."
  • "Follow no one else except your own intuition/heart."
  • "Just as you are learning to work from home, cutting your own and family's hair, finding REAL time for connecting to those you love - you will learn to rely more on your own guidance because you will have the time to reflect."
  • "An empowered society is one who does not rely on others to create their future."
  • "Be safe, be well.  Know that you are loved beyond measure!"
 
  • From Sue:  We will learn to follow business and personal paths that most excite and challenge us vs. just doing the same thing every day.  Our passion for our lives ignite the passion in others.
  • Our reliance on outside countries to build economic freedom has jailed us to the dictates of others.
  • We are independent, free-thinking Americans who can create exactly the lives we want to live.  This is a time for re-inventing who we are.

You are extraordinary!  Follow your dreams!  Do not allow challenges like Covid 19 to cause you to feel that your life today is over - it is, but in a good way.  New dreams are emerging!  New opportunities are coming! 
Be there for your NEW DIY
spirit!

Re-Connection to Your Spiritual Self During
Covid 19 - Messages from the Angelic Realm!

Picture
                   You are an Extraordinary being!  You are light and love!

During these very challenging times, Covid 19 has taken away self-confidence and security for many of us.  Try as we might, we can't just use our minds to get us out of the house and out of our fear.  So, let's look at what our spiritual selves might be messaging to us.

During the launch of my most recent book, "Expect the Extraordinary", Spirituality and Health Magazine asked me what my REAL thoughts were on spiritual connection. Wow!  I wasn't prepared to write  on that topic - yet.  But, now, with so much challenge in front of us, I feel I should share what wisdom I have gleaned from the angelic realm during three near-death experiences - the most recent in December, 2019.  So, listed below are some thought provoking tidbits from our angelic friends:


  • You are Extraordinary!  You are a spiritual FIRST, and physical second in your make-up.
  • Every human lives with a quest for greater spiritual connection.
  • Covid19's  message is about honoring all of life.  (See how our first responders and medical personnel sacrifice for us as a nation.  This is an example we admire so much.)
  • Those nations that do not honor life, whether human or animal, will have the greatest challenge in recovery.
  • The United States will show other countries the importance of every human life. 
  • Those businesses worldwide that do not honor their employees will also have a recovery issue.
  • Honoring ALL of life also means to honor Mother Nature and all she does for us in our ability to live on this planet. (See the dissipation of bad air quality over LA.)
  • Do not fear change.  Fear creates dis-ease.
  • What are the current situations in your life that could offer you an opportunity for change?  A new job?  New relationships? New adventures in declaring your life's passion?  New location to live in?
  • Whether talking to family and friends or connecting on social media, send light (see graphic above) to everyone you love and those you do not even know.  You are a being of light first before you were a physical being.
  • This light expands in you and around you as you send out love to anyone you come in contact with.
  • Coming attraction in our next blog:  Your DIY New Society!

Fear is just a doorway to the extraordinary!

Fear is our friend!  Without it we wouldn't be trying new paths and new challenges.  It keeps us safe as long as we don't allow it to own us.  Fear is only about tomorrow, not today.  Today is already safe - try something new today!

You are extraordinary!  We just don't know ourselves well enough to believe that we can do anything we desire.  Below are photos of a wonderful movie, "The Last Full Measure", that hightlights the 30 year struggle of Army veterans and Air Force Pararescuemen to honor William H. Pitsenbarger with the Medal of Honor.  This heart-felt film gives us a glimpse of what "never quit" really means when it comes to our dreams of finding our extraordinary capabilities.  If not for this movie, we would never be able to see first hand what a 30 year challenge looks like when you are coming from your heart, as these men did.  This movie also opens up the wounds of our veterans for us to see when they come home with PTSD from any war.  Hope you get a chance to see this wonderful film!
Below are photos of the actors and my husband, John, at the Hollywood premiere, as well as John and I on the red carpet.  What fun!  Enjoy!

How to Go From an Ordinary to an Extraordinary Life in 5 Easy Steps!

12/8/2017

Every one of us sits around each day wishing we had more of something – a better job, greater health, more money or more meaningful relationships.  Why are we wishing?  Why aren’t we doing something about making changes for happiness? 
 
After having a life-threatening brain aneurysm in 2016, I found myself being so much more grateful for the simplest things.  Like showering or eating without help or loving my animals – to say nothing of the deep love I would have so missed from my husband and my family.  So, for those six months in bed, I messaged myself with thoughts about how I would live my life when I could get up and around. 
 
After what I experienced during the angiograms and from the pain from the blood vessel that burst, I knew I had to share my journey back to the more extraordinary life I live now with you, the reader.  I am only one of 15 people in the world in the last 25 years who has survived this particular type of aneurysm.  What did I learn from this amazing event?  What can I share with you?
 
So, here are my thoughts on how to live a bold life of extraordinary joy:
 
  1. Realize that you CREATE your life with your thoughts and your actions.  Even when we don’t consciously create an event (ie, a brain aneurysm), how we react to the event is what creates our lives.  What are you creating today?
 
  1. Every day give gratitude that you are alive.  The more grateful you are for what you have, the more of that same thing/energy comes back to you.
 
Regardless of your struggles, you are learning to work through those challenges in your time and place.  This life expedition is all about becoming totally free to be ALL of yourself.  No one else can direct your path or your healing.
 
  1. Do not “sit on the fence”.  The status quo does not serve you.  Take chances for change.  Eat more ice cream and fewer beans!
 
  1. Say “yes” to opportunities, not no.  Open the door that presents itself to you.  It could make you the happiest you have ever been in your life!  Follow your Path of Passion to be in an extraordinary state every minute!
 
  1. NEVER GIVE UP!  Life is so grand on the other side of “never giving up”.

                                                             Spiritual Interventions and Personal Transformation

Our review......
Many people have written about their near death experiences but few have come close to realising the transformative power they present us with. Sue Pighini is certainly the exception, delivering a memoir and guidance for personal transformation which proves wholly compelling and in sharing her life-transforming journey it is particularly notable for its broad strokes. She talks of angels and spiritual guidance but her words are refreshingly unconstrained by a particular faith. She simply and candidly shares her experiences and those of others she has met and by not dwelling on the relationship between organised religion and near-death experiences makes a powerful argument for love being the most emotionally, spiritually and psychologically healing power there is. One that transcends fractured belief systems and ultimately unites us. This alone is a reason to pick up a copy of Expect the Extraordinary and begin reading but Pighini goes beyond this to share her years of reflection and interpretation to create a template for personal and lasting transformation.
 
Well-written and powerfully uplifting Expect the Extraordinary is a guiding read that readers will return to again and again and is highly recommended.

You Can't Sail the Ship If You Don't Leave the Harbor

Picture
 
 
 
A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for. –Grace Hopper

She knew something was wrong.
Culture creates prisons, and she was trapped inside one.
Teachers told her she wasn’t good enough. Professors told her the same, and she dropped out.
Her father begged her to reconsider.
But she wasn’t having any of it.
Her father had a choice. He could try to guilt her into college and be content with her taking the “safe” path. Many people went in that direction, and some of them were happy. Or, he could make the heart-wrenching choice of encouraging his daughter to find her own path.
If he simply gave her “freedom” or an easy path, it would be like giving her an inheritance. The easy way carried serious tradeoffs. The easy path carried diseases of comfort. He saw what those tradeoffs did to all the people around him.
People became automatons seeking greater levels of comfort with reduced amounts of personal risk. They became angry at any minor disturbance or lapse in comfort. They were ready to lash out at the systems of cooperation or their peers the moment they felt anyone was getting more than their “fair share.” The thought of his daughter becoming one of those comfort-craving zombies made him shudder.
He visualized her path in the short term, and didn’t want to see her struggle. But then he considered the long term, and thinking of her sacrificing her full potential was unbearable.
Freedom had to be earned, in order to be appropriately valued.
Individuality could only be forged in the furnaces of adversity.
He heard the passion in his daughter’s voice, the yearning for freedom.
So he presented her with a simple offer.
“You can skip college.”
The girl’s eyebrows raised. And her father knew what she wanted most… the family sailboat.
“And I’ll give you the boat.”
Her eyes lit up and a smile from ear to ear crept over her face.
“But…” sighed her father.
She was frozen in anticipation.
“You have to sail it around the world.”
She moved her lips to protest but he held up a finger.
“No protests and no negotiation. You want freedom, and that’s wonderful. But you’ll have to face a challenge in order to earn it. The ocean and the real world are the best teachers I know.”
The 26-foot boat glistened in the sun. In a mixture of fear, elation, and confusion, she spoke before she could think.
“I’ll do it.”
Her father’s heart sank but he knew he made the right choice.
At 18 years old, with no formal training, no GPS, and no crew, Tania Aebi took that 26-foot boat and sailed around the world. She became the first solo female sailor to circumnavigate the world. She took a sextant for celestial navigation, a radio direction finder, and a few other simple supplies and embarked on a year and a half adventure.

She faced storms, almost had her boat crushed, and came face to face with the ultimate enemy: herself and her mindset.
She returned. Unscathed.
Biologists have a term called neoteny. They use it to describe species they’re studying who retain juvenile features well into adulthood.
Many of our cultural institutions have become training grounds for neoteny.
More twenty and thirtysomethings live at home than ever before.
Americans in the top 1% of global wealth whine about how they don’t have enough. Meanwhile, they have pocket supercomputers more powerful than the ones NASA used to get to the moon. Instead of using them to become learning machines, hike across the country, or connect with like minds to build new things, they use them to play games.
Tania Aebi isn’t a household name. She’s not “rich” but she’s free.
Your name doesn’t have to become “known.” You don’t have to do what the crowd does. All of us can become free, unique individuals through adversity. There are safe paths always waiting for us. There are those who profess to “love” us by helping keep us in comfort. Their fear of the unknown can keep us from the adventures that make life worth living.
The challenge is to find and earn love from those willing to endure the pain of watching us struggle.
The struggle doesn’t have to lead to a million or a billion dollars. Most of the world lives on a few dollars per day. When Elon Musk was taking jobs from the Canadian unemployment office, he taught himself to live on $2 a day (hotdogs and oranges) to remove his fear of poverty. Culture has an endless buffet of fears and hamster wheels for you to run on. Escape them and kill your fears with direct real-world experience.
Take massive action, and then cut off any possibilities of regret. Face adversities and take full agency for your choices. Leave the safe harbor, but if you find yourself riding tumultuous waves or shipwrecked, don’t breathe a word of complaint. There are always gifts and lessons for those who take radical agency of their own lives.
Culture wants to keep you infantile. Those who are addicted to comfort have an allergic reaction when they spend time around those who can ensure uncomfort. Do you want to be addicted to comfort, or addicted to achievement?
While certain comfort-addicted neo-maniacs in the world worship “the coming machine singularity,” you can become a real singularity through facing and overcoming adversity.
You can become a unique individual if you find someone who loves you enough to allow you to endure challenges. It won’t be easy, and it will mean intense isolation from most people. But do you want to be like most people?
“It happens rarely, but whenever I do read a newspaper, listen to the radio, or watch television, on a variety of topics, I find myself wondering, “How? How can this happen? How can people be so gullible?”
[I’m renewed with] gratitude to my father for having given me the chance to dodge full immersion in the homogenizing machine, and makes me more determined than ever to pass this gift of becoming an individual on to my own children.”
— TANIA AEBI, world record holder, first circumnavigation of the world by a solo female sailor
Don’t be afraid to leave the harbor.

Becoming the Best At What You Do!

Want to Become the Best at What You Do?
By Benjamin Hardy

It doesn’t matter how good your strategy is, if you’re not skilled at what you do, that strategy won’t take you very far.  As Jason Fried and DHH have said: “Many amateur golfers think they need expensive clubs. But it’s the swing that matters, not the club. Give Tiger Woods a set of cheap clubs and he’ll still destroy you.”
When you’re confident about what you do and clear about where you’re going, the right strategy will make itself known. Hence, when your “why” is strong, you’ll figure out “how.”
The how comes from the why. Not the other way around.
If you’re looking for how to be successful, you’re going about it all wrong. You’re doing it for the wrong reasons. And you’ll continuously be left searching for the next patch of land to find gold.

What will be left?
An open field of half-dug holes, three feet from gold.
If you know what you want and why you’re doing it, you’re not worried about the “gold.” Your security is internal. You aren’t worried about the outcomes because you already know they are coming.
For you it’s never actually been about the rewards. It’s only and always been about seeing how far you can go. About achieving the impossible. About never stopping.
Take everything external away and you’re still going to continue with the same intensity you always have. Give you everything — fame, money, whatever else — and it wont derail you.
Here’s how to become the best at what you do:

1. Work On Yourself, Not On Your Job

“Work hard at your job and you can make a living. Work hard on yourself and you can make a fortune.” — Jim Rohn
Your work is a reflection of you. If you’re not getting the results you’re looking for, stop looking for better strategies.  Instead, look inside.
Are you currently the person who would attract the level of success you seek? Your outer conditions are a reflection of your inner reality. As James Allen has said, Your circumstances reveal you to yourself.
Where you are right now: that’s you.
If you want something different: improve you.
Most people focus on their craft or their “job.” That’s all well and good. However, you’ll get far more bang-for-your-buck by focusing on yourself.
20% of your energy should be devoted to your work.
80% of your energy should be devoted to rest and self-improvement.
This is what fuels your work and makes it better than anyone else’s. Self-improvement is more than books and true rest is renewal.
While others are trying to improve their job, you’re continuously improving yourself, expanding your vision, skills, and abilities. This is akin to Stephen R. Covey’s 7th principle: Sharpen your saw. Most people are trying to chop down their tree — their “job” — with a dull saw.
“Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.” — Abraham Lincoln
Within a short period of time, you’ll have developed true mastery. Everyone else is trying to hone their “craft.” Don’t work on your job. Work on yourself.
When you do, your work will far exceed what other people are painstakingly producing. Your work will be cleaner, clearer, and more powerful because you’ll be more evolved as a person. Most people you’re “competing” against are an inner mess.

2. Consistently Put Yourself Into Situations Others Can Only Dream Of
“Necessity is the mother of invention.” — English Proverb

Your results aren’t a reflection of your talent. Lots of people have talent. Few people, however, are required to rise to a difficult challenge.
Most people never put themselves in demanding situations — situations that humble and scare you.
You need to put yourself into positions that create immense pressure. The kind of pressure that will either make or break you. This is how you purge out your weakness and small-mindedness. It won’t be pretty. But it will change you. And eventually, you’ll rise up. New. Changed. Better.
You need to be taking on challenges that require you to become so much more than you currently are. You need to put your back against the wall so you have no other choice but to produce.
This is how you evolve.
How do you put yourself into these situations? You initiate. You don’t wait for life to come to you. You don’t wait for the “next” opportunity.
You improve your current situation or “job” by providing actual value. You pitch ideas. You ask questions. You try and fail. You take on roles that require greater responsibility.
“Leadership” is available to everyone. You just need to assume a leadership role. You can do that right now, in whatever situation you’re in. You do this enough, and continuously pitch yourself and your ideas, you’ll create opportunities. You then maximize those opportunities and more will come.
Opportunities are like ideas. The more you use them, rather than let them simmer, the more will come. Most people sit on their ideas far too long and they become stale. Similarly, most people sit on their opportunities too long and they stop coming.

3. Don’t Copy Other People. Make Them Copy You.

“From this point, your strategy is to make everyone else get on your level, you’re not going down to theirs. You’re not competing with anyone else, ever again. They’re going to have to compete with you.” -- Tim Grover
If you’re still mimicking the work of other people, good luck.
If you’re trying to replicate the work and results of other people, what does that say about your own inner compass?  What does that say about your motivations?
Are you just trying to find what’s working?
Are you looking for the “how”?
Do you actually know where you’re going?
If you’re following someone else’s tracks, where do you think those tracks will lead you? To your own destination or to theirs?
And even if you’d be happy with their destination, do you really think you could do it better than them? It’s their path. They’re driven by something deep and internal. You can’t get ahead if you’re always a few steps behind. If you’re always reacting rather than creating.
If you don’t know who you are, you’ll always try to be someone else. And thus, you’ll never be the best. Your work will always be a cheap imitation. It will lack the feeling that produced the work or the idea.

4. Stay In Love With The Process

“The more you sweat in peace, the less you bleed in war.” — Norman Schwarzkopf

The process — or the work itself — is all there is. Results come and go. And it’s never been about the results. Success is inevitable.
Success comes easy because it’s the last thing on your mind. You already know it’s going to happen.
The work itself — and becoming better and better at it — is what drives you. It almost doesn’t matter what you’re doing. It’s why you’re doing it that matters.
The “what” can and does take many forms. Don’t over-attach to one role. Whether you’re a leader, writer, athlete, parent, “employee” — the what doesn’t matter. Why you do it and subsequently how you do it is what matters. Hence, how you do anything is how you do everything.
When you are in love with the process, you seek feedback, mentoring, and coaching — even when you’re at the top of your game.
You surround yourself with people who aren’t afraid to tell you the truth. You avoid people who suck-up and only tell you what they think you want to hear. Those aren’t friends. They have an agenda.
Self-transcendence comes from collaborating with others who are driven by a greater and grander vision. When the whole becomes fundamentally different than the sum of its parts. When the work is the reward.
Going beyond anything you’ve ever imagined. Complete openness to the possibilities. Unless you’re continuously improving and working with better people, you’ll never realize this.
When you hone yourself, your work, and you produce — opportunities will come. They won’t help but come. Because you’re a magnet, pulling them in.

5. Never Forget Why You’re Doing This

“So many times it happens too fast
You trade your passion for glory
Don’t lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive”
-- Survivor, Eye of the Tiger

It blows me away how often I see people throw their value-systems out the door in hopes for quick success.  When I see this happen, I already know these people won’t succeed long-term. They clearly don’t have a “why” — or they forgot it. They don’t have an inner compass. Consequently, they don’t really know where they’re headed. It’s a destructive path.
The moment you start compromising, you won’t stop compromising. As innovation expert, Clayton Christensen, has said:
Many of us have convinced ourselves that we are able to break our own personal rules “just this once.” In our minds, we can justify these small choices. None of those things, when they first happen, feels like a life-changing decision. The marginal costs are almost always low. But each of those decisions can roll up into a much bigger picture, turning you into the kind of person you never wanted to be.
This, unfortunately, is more common than not.
It’s so common, in fact, that it’s almost expected. Hence, few people become the best at what they do. They end up becoming something far less.

Conclusion

Becoming the best is about never being satisfied with what you’ve done. It’s about continually improving who you are.
It’s knowing success will come because you know who you are and what you stand for.
