“Two paths, the same man…Could these
forks in the road, be part of the plan?”
~excerpted from The Path, a song by Brent Law
(full lyrics included below and playing at www.powerofmyway.com/shift2010.html)
A few years ago, during a studio taping of Releasing the Past, I inadvertently hypnotized my husband as he sat behind the recording console with headphones on.
I must admit, it was hilarious to watch him slowly nodding out. We even had to edit out my uncontrollable giggling as his head began to bob.
About 10 minutes later, his head popped up and wide eyed, he began scribbling out the lines in a new lyric (below). He said the whole song, including all of the instrumentation, effortlessly flowed through his head.
The next day, he recorded The Path, joyfully laying down each track (he plays all of the instruments) and when he called me into the studio for a sneak preview, I knew the power of his newest creation.
The quote above is from that song. The forks in the road present themselves to us in innumerable ways; not always as we desire, yet always offer multiple choices. A lot of suffering happens at those forks too, mostly due to lack of clarity, or fear that the “road taken” will not lead to the results we are wishing for.
Fork It – a Little Play on Words
When you feel like you don’t have a choice, fork it.
When you find yourself in worry, fork it.
When you doubt yourself, fork it.
And, while you’re at it, fork fear!
Okay, okay, I know…I just couldn’t help myself, especially after a mastermind call last week that got me rolling (another story for another time).
But seriously, we need to fork any sense of limitation – meaning, open to the choices that we may not be seeing, or create multiple paths (a real fork has multiple prongs, not just two, such as an “either/or,” make it or break it choices) that pave the way to pure potential.
I don’t need to spoon feed you here, do I (ha, ha!)? You get where I’m going with this.
Life unfolds from what occurs within the mysterious interplay between destiny and free will. Sometimes, fear and doubt limit our ability to see that we have a lot more choices and opportunities than ever imagined.
And, sometimes, you just gotta say, “What the fork!” Don’t you want to be done with it, once and for all and just say…?
“Put a Fork in Me, I’m Done!”
We all can recall times when we finally got fed up with a current pattern in our lives and said,” I’m done!” Maybe you said, “I’m done with this (relationship, way of thinking, living, feeling, etc. just fill in the blank.)
What are you feeling “done” with? Struggle? Worry? Fear? Procrastination?
Well, whatever it is, there is a shift in consciousness that must occur to be fully complete with a pattern – and open to a new one.
If what you are thinking (most of the time), and what you are feeling (often underneath the surface) are any indication of what you are in the process of creating, what future reality is being painted?
When truly and courageously contemplated, most people have to admit that they see a huge opportunity to shift out of a mindset that is not aligned with their desired, future reality.
But how do you initiate the shift?
As we enter into the final days of 2009, one of great change and transition, I've been wondering...
I've been wondering how to shift the current trajectory - personally and collectively - towards a consciousness that actually supports, as opposed to denies greater peace and prosperity.
So have my colleagues and business clients - so much so that we are coming together for a six week global event (with nine teleconferences, two ebooks, professionally recorded meditations, and more) at www.powerofmyway.com/shift2010.html that will blow the top of limited thinking, lack and stuckness.
I couldn't take my husband on a movie date for the nominal tuition of $19.99, the first of three options available to you.
Join me and amazing teachers like Rev. Dr. Kimberly Marooney, Rev. Dr. Lorraine Cohen, Heather Picken, Jesus Nebot, Brent Law, Dee Dee Laux, Dr. Kimberly Wulfert, and many others, beginning on October 23 as we come together for Initiate the SHIFT in 2010 – a six week journey (with 6 teleconferences, plus 3 panels, two ebooks, and an impressive and growing number of gifts from the presenters and yours truly).
If you want to get yourself READY to embrace a New Year that becomes a laboratory for your greatest expressions – and ushers in a new reality, you’ll want to participate actively in this amazing process by reserving your spot at www.powerofmyway.com/shift2010.html
Initiating the SHIFT in 2010 is an individual journey that is both influenced by, and supporting of, a shift in the Collective Consciousness. . .and the revelation of many previously unseen (and unknown) forks on the road of new emergence.

The Path
by Brent Law
Perfection sought, but often denied
If I had a nickel for every time I’ve cried
I’d gather them together and hold them dear
For these are the times that I’ve conquered my fears
Fears of Peace, Fears of Strength, Fears of Compassion
Fears of Peace, Fears of Strength, Fears of Compassion
Forgiveness and Sweet Release
To live and to die, to walk this path, wondering why?
Is this the way…or could there be
another path that I should try?
The path of peace
The path of strength
One of compassion
A path of peace
A path of strength
One of compassion
Forgiveness and sweet release
Two paths, the same man
Could these forks in the road, be part of the plan?
To choose to see the good...in everyONE
Keeps my heart and soul on the way…
To a path of peace
A path of strength
A path of compassion
To a path of peace
A path of strength
A path of compassion
Forgiveness and sweet release…
Sweet release…
Perfection sought, but often denied
If we had a nickel for every time we tried
We’d gather them together and hold them dear
For these are the times we walked into our fears
I know what you mean, when you say,
“The forks in the road just seem to get in the way”
