My daily prayer for many years was ‘peace of mind’. I’d say, “Give me peace of mind” and I would practice everyday how to have peaceful thoughts and a positive outlook. Studying the power of the mind has brought me a gift I can’t quantify. I bring it into my birth business, my approach to parenthood, my relationships and even how I experience the world. When things seem like they aren’t going my way – ironically, this is usually when things most definitely are going your way – I remind myself that “Things are always working out for me.” It may not look like it to me, but I am getting what I asked for. It almost never looks exactly the way I expect, but when I step back, I realize that I actually have received precisely what I asked for.
