FAREWELL TO A GOOD FRIEND Grief Season By David W Sweet Does grief ever announce itself? How sneaky it is . . . Just when you believed it was gone, Sure you were in the clear, A part of life you dread Raises its ugly head. It’s not bigger, It is, however, A part of you. Fight it, or give in and Bow to the hollowness. Do you have a choice? When it visits, Words fail its depth; Yet experiencing it Means to live on— To move forward. Can you hold it as such, Honoring the feeling? Can you let it go To slip away In its own time? Does it deserve gratitude, This signpost of life’s shadows Posted for all to see And feel? Does it deserve thanks For reminding us that We are still here? Maybe later— Maybe not at all. © 2011-20 David W Sweet All rights reserved. Goodbye Chances . . . 9-1-1 By David Sweet; to honor all those who died and are still dying. This morning the sun first announced its existence By turning the horizon golden — Wonderful reds, purples, oranges. Then it stopped. For a minute or two the sky was light; However, blank with no color, Just a curious gray, Almost lifeless, Yet heavy enough to ponder, To weigh on the mind. Like seeing liquid in a barrel And something tells you not to Put your finger in it — Leave it alone. Just look; Pass it by. How could the sky be like this? Oh yes, I forgot, It’s a day of mourning. But I really didn’t forget; I just tried to put it someplace Where it wouldn’t hurt so much. But these conditions of man Won’t be buried so easily, Neither within my mind Nor with tears in the shower. Maybe the blank sky Was as a mirror of time, Finding for a moment Nothing worthy to reflect. Maybe the missing beams Were absorbed by the Darkness of fear Or lack of trust. Maybe still, Perhaps the souls who left Received the missing light — Prayers heard and answered, A sign of thanks. Suddenly, as if to end the blink, The wonderful glow of colors returned, Spreading across the sky, Again properly announcing the coming day. Ahh . . . another chance. © 2002 David Sweet All Rights Reserved. Amen By David W Sweet It all comes back . . . is it a thread, a photo, a painting, a shadow, a glance? Remembering a moment: going back in time to feel; recalling the joy and the heart of it all. It stays, it surrounds. It’s not easy at times to call back. The hurt makes itself known; however, it’s yours and it’s meant to be. So thank each, and thank them all for the good, the bad, and the memories. It’s your power to know. You’re made for it and no one can take that from you. Thank you, God. Amen. © 2019 David W Sweet All rights reserved.

How Inspired Life Coaching Created Day Starters: David was once hired by an investment group that owned and managed a percentage of a 17-million-dollar, high-end deluxe garage rental complex. Drug dealers an d felons found the facilities lucrative in spite of extensive screening and the groups best efforts. *** Client Goal one: Teach them how to use their thoughts and energy to create the “vibe” to begin attracting only the best tenants. Simply put, change the overall energy of the complex so that the bad guys no longer were noticing, attracted to, or choosing to rent. ***Client Goal two: They were choosing to have instruction in solid, life changing skills particular to each in order to address and achieve new roadmaps in life. Introspection led to inner power. ***Inspiration: David explains that during the process, and after one of the two-hour sessions, it came to him to make a page of affirmations suited for them at that time. The result was “Life Changers I,” which he printed, signed, and gave to each of them. In two days, the group’s leader reported becoming centered and calm from anxious moments in a matter of minutes by remembering the contents and how to use the specific affirmations. He exclaimed, “David, this is the day starter!” Success : Day Starters workbook/tactical tutorial was born. Quitting Nicotine Addiction: David decided to d efeat his nicotine addiction once and for all at about 38 years of age, having historically quit off and on, one time for as long as seven years. He devised and stuck to imagining, visualizing, feelings, sorting out thoughts and confronting them, practicing acting out, and anchoring all the positive changes, together with facing the reality of knowing that a nicotine habit is not one to go away easily. “It wasn’t easy; however, the key is to never give up.” Leaving Sle ep Apnea: David says, “Drugs never work toward any final solution. For me, they were, at best, ‘to cope’, if you could call it that. Overc oming sleep apnea usually took at least two or three strong beers before I was able to sleep at all. So, I worked with a psychic who could hear ‘guidance’. Through her, I was told that my sleep apnea was a symptom of old hurts and other feelings/bad times trying to get out (i.e., be gone, be healed). Using a simple self-love formula, every time an apnea event occurred, it took about eighteen months to get rid of any symptoms. Done and won!” A Learning Path to “Guide Work,” i.e., to “Listen” “At about 42 years of age, an acquaintance suddenly began ‘channelling’ and writing what came to her in rapid succession,” David explains. “That piqued my interest, so I decided to figure out how to accomplish that skill. Something felt right about learning to meditate, and so my journey beg an. Candles, flames, music, chants, etc. etc., all with zero luck, until one day during the umpteenth time, while laying on the carpet face up, I could feel myself ‘going through the floor’. “Fast forward to a lot of work meditating and creating. T he first time I heard guidance, it was, ‘the coffee’s hot’. Thereafter, the real training began; a lot of mental work and tasks so that, now, when I hear, I act. Period. It’s called ‘going through the wringer’, and/or ‘being in the shit’. However, in my case, all the experiences and life-trials where meant to cement my learning and listening.”

CHOOSE CREATE WIN THE LIFE GOALS AND FEELINGS YOU WANT NOW! EASY TO USE, GUIDED BY: My Choice Template Instructions for My Choice Template The My Choice Template manifested itself out of a proven formula to initiate, track, make use of feedback, and celebrate progress. The payoff for you is the satisfaction and power of having a way to create for yourself and to achieve positive changes faster. There’s a Secret Giving You Advantage to Turbocharge the Process Ask yourself, “How do I want my future to look and feel?” Your answers allow you to use this proven, two-pronged approach: Choose the inner feelings you want to experience while accomplishing a particular goal in addition to concentrating on the desired, ultimate, tangible form of the goal, which gives you powerful advantages for change. There’s No Limit on What You Choose for Yourself Examples of I Choose . . . • To be delightfully surprised at how well my joy and enthusiasm are seen today. • That nothing can stop the right clients from coming (or results from happening). • For my talents to be seen and appreciated. • I am generously compensated. Steps to Initiating and Asserting Change for Yourself Write your goal choices for the day, month, or year in the top pairs of lines numbered 1 to 3. Next, by saying to yourself or speaking out loud, assert your goals three (3) separate times during the day and log in each Time for reference. (Certain times may feel better than others; this is about discovery.) The secret is to recite (out loud or to yourself) your goals at least three (3) times a day. If you choose more than three times, make the total number of times a multiple of three (hence, the additional lines for six (6) or nine (9) times). As you assert each goal, imagine experiencing the feelings you choose to come along with that goal. Put these emotions down under Feeling. Equally important is to be aware of other feelings or thoughts that might come during the process. Whatever comes, make note of it under Feeling. These feelings are echoing your awareness and mirroring your progress. To Enhance Your Feelings and Visualization, Use Now What’s Possible? • This is the place to articulate how your new insights and positive aspirations will affect your life and those around you. What will you be capable of? Feel what it’ll be like as if it’s already done. Believe it. Know in your heart that you can do it. • What will be possible with the changes, internal and external, that you’ve chosen? Imagine how it will look and feel to your very soul. • How do you see others, and how do they see you, with these changes? • How do you feel being grounded, centered, and taking the time to nurture, invest in, and further create for yourself? • How are the breakthroughs, positive feelings, and feedback showing up for you? Imagine your success. • What do you notice offering deeper learning, new directions, and paths to your goals? • Are there any surprises for you? • What didn’t you expect?
