New Year, New You, New Me!

Happy New Year!!! So, here we are at week 2 of 2012.  The New Years Resolutions are still ringing and all the buzz about this being an epic year is still fresh.  This year is a special one for many because there has been so much talk of the Mayan calendar ending on December 21st of the year 2012, then there is the Zombie Apocalypse, the presidential elections, the collapse of the American Dollar and much more.  Quite an exciting year of uncertainties to look forward to.  If you want to look at it this way, it could be the end of the world as we know it, so live it up right?! HAHA!  


I have my own perspective on 2012.  I, too, have decided to begin anew.  2011 marked the end of my old life and I even got a tattoo to mark a new beginning.  The tattoo is a key and it symbolizes my choice to remain open and willing to change.  I got it on my arm, very visible, to remind myself to leave behind the old destructive habits, worries, doubts and fears of having to live up to anybody's expectations.  Jesus died on a cross so that all of that stuff would be gone, so leaving it around in my thought closet is just nonsense....finished! 2012 means renewing my spiritual vows, so to speak. My key is heart-shaped.  I am now experiencing life through the filter of love and teaching others about this awesome opportunity.  With this key, I embrace God's plan and allow Him to open new doors.  It is all about FAITH...my commitment to really "Let Go and Let God."  My key, is mainly a celebration in appreciation for the Spirit of God which is alive in me. 

John 14: ¹² Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. ¹³ And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. ¹⁴ You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.   ¹⁵ “If you love me, keep my commands. ¹⁶ And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— ¹⁷ the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be^[c] in you. ¹⁸ I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. ¹⁹ Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. ²⁰ On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. ²¹ Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.”
                                                                    
^{John 15: 9} “As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. ¹⁰ If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love. ¹¹ I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. ¹² My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. ¹³ Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. ¹⁴ You are my friends if you do what I command. ¹⁵ I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. ¹⁶ You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you. ¹⁷ This is my command: Love each other.

The world will have you believe that The Bible is too this or too that...complicated, harsh, boring, false, controlling, blah blah blah!  I know that it can be if you believe it is so.  But, if you open your heart, silence your thoughts and basically, get out of the way...it is pure nourishment for your Spirit.  I am aware of all the excuses that one could use for not giving it a chance, including the one where you tell yourself you already gave it a chance and it didn't work.  My previous excuses will probably outnumber yours lol.  If it changed a person like me, believe me, it can and will blow your mind...but only if you let it.  Still not convinced?!  No problem.  Just know that you are reading these words for a reason.   Go ahead and read the words of Jesus again.  Don't let the hypocrites of the world convince you that religion is the same as faith.  I know there are many Christians that are misrepresentations of Christ.  Don't miss out on Heaven because you are basing your understanding of The Bible on a picture that has been painted for you by a "religionist" or the rest of the world.  Jesus himself was the opposite of the "religionists" of his time.  Just saying, find out for yourself! Give your heart to God and experience true love and true freedom.  Don't let anybody sell you a counterfeit spirituality. If you want the key, it's free.  And if you want to talk to someone who won't judge you, won't condemn you, will listen to your perspective and will love you just the way you are...call me, write me, message me, text me, you get the point! Don't hesitate, this message is for you and you know it.  THIS IS MY YEAR...WOOOHOOO!  IS THIS YOUR YEAR?! CLAIM IT AND RECEIVE IT!  
I love you guys!

We Will End World Hunger, period.

We are so used to having such easy access to our food supply, that it's almost impossible for us to imagine not having any food to eat.  Starvation is a reality for many people around the world.  As fortunate as we are, we sometimes forget how influential and meaningful our lives can actually be.  We all make excuses as to why we are putting off the most important work we have here on earth, to give.  We have the potential to truly change the world, for better or worse.  If we choose to make a positive impact on humanity, serve others, spread love, kindness, joy, hope, faith and contribute whatever gift we have been given...we will no doubt about it, make a huge difference not only in the lives of so many others, but in our own.  Most of us haven't received the proper training to get "in the zone" or the right mindset which will allow us to get the results we desire for ourselves and much less for humanity as a whole. 

The problems we face will not go away by themselves, they are there for a reason.  We have been given the opportunity to choose ignorance, to look away and keep letting the distractions entertain us and then as a result be a victim who stays stuck in excuses and never really achieves the full potential. Or, we can choose to take responsibility for our life, and learn as much as we can about who we are and what our true purpose is...and then, break the cycle of meaninglessness.  Ask God to show you all that you need to know to be the fullness and greatness of all that you were created to be.  Open your heart and let Love in.  Stop the judging.  Let go of your obsessions and just let the simplicity of Love, God, Truth, Life, Light, Peace, Joy in.  If you let it in, then that is what will come out of you.  And if you ever thought of yourself as someone who wants to be successful in life and well off and fulfilled and wealthy all around....here is a little secret you may or may not have heard before:  You Get What You Give!  You will never truly know what it is to be rich until you have helped someone else get rich.  You will never truly know what it is to be loved until you have loved someone unconditionally and selflessly.  You will never be truly happy or fulfilled until you have contributed to someone else's well-being; especially true if it's someone that you don't know personally, someone who will never be able to thank you or repay you.  Compassion is  awesome.  No matter what situation you are in, whether life is at a high point or low one for you today, if you take your focus of yourself for a moment and think of those who are really hurting, fighting for their lives, hungry and know that you could be doing something to make life a whole lot better for them...isn't it worth your attention? It is mine.  I am doing something about it and I am sticking to it.  You can too if you want to.  It's important that we spread the awareness and give others the opportunity to do the same.

I can already hear your thoughts..."I don't have time right now, I don't have money right now, I don't have the energy right now, What's in it for me, This is a scam, blah, blah, blah!" Just remember, those are just excuses.  Your thoughts are what has been holding you back in mediocrity.  Those same low energy thoughts have been holding you back from the greatness God has in store for you.  If your thoughts sound like that still and you are still identifying with them, maybe you need to reevaluate yourself.  When you have the heart of God, your heart speaks more like, "How can I serve?"  Once you "GET IT", you will get excited and feel the joy rising every time you open yourself up to the flow of God.  If you allow, God will use you to bless others and then, use others to bless you.  Hence, a new cycle will begin and it will be one of abundance, joy, freedom, enthusiasm.  And the actions you take from the high energy level output coming from this new view on life, will be refreshing, rejuvenating, empowering, fulfilling and contagious.  Isn't it great news that if you want to live an inspired life, meaning let God live through you, you can?!  Jesus left us instruction to do as he did. So, I say it's time we get to it and through our connection with the Almighty God inside each of us, it's time to get in the business of being a miracle maker.  Use your talents, gifts and light to shine and uplift others and you my friend, will know what it means to be fulfilled and overflowing with joy. 

We all have our moments and darkness and circumstances that drain us, but we also have a choice to stay focused and protected with God's armor.  Develop a daily practice of feeding your mind and spirit just as you feed your body and also cleansing your spirit of negativity just as you cleanse your body with a shower.  This will help you stay on track.  Under no circumstances ever are you to quit on yourself....got it? Never ever give up because if you keep going, you will make it and it will be far greater than you ever imagined.

"If you do something greater than you, God will do something greater for you." -vic

What Does It Mean To Be 'Saved'?

I'm sure you've heard that word before. That's one of those words that gets many mixed emotions on the spiritual level.  It's quite the turn off for many but on the other end of the spectrum, it is THE word that best describes some people's perception and experience of life.  So, what does it mean to be "saved"?

This term is used to describe the thing that happens in the Christian faith when you choose to believe that Jesus Christ died for your sins on the cross and has resurrected so that you could gain entrance to the Kingdom of Heaven and Live with God in Eternity.  In this life, if you say a prayer and believe, you have accepted the gift of God's Grace and forgiveness from all sin and you are therefore "saved" from eternal damnation in hell.  Not all Christians are alike.  Not all churches preach the same messages.  But, for the most part, "born-again-Christians" agree that this is the Truth, the ONLY truth and NOTHING BUT the truth.  It's in the Gospel, the Good News, The Word of God, The Bible's passage John 3:16 states:

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

And that's it, there you have it! What more proof could you possibly need? 

Well, from the Christian perspective, it makes perfect sense to think of this salvation in such a matter-of-fact manner.  But, for people who were brought up in other religions, in atheism, in skepticism or whose life experiences have taken them on a path with a different view of life, it isn't truthful or applicable in today's world.  I could go on and on about the specifics of the different schools of thought and world religions and mythologies and the celestial beings.  But, I won't.  Instead, I will just ask some questions and let you come up with your own answers or borrow some from someone else. 

Do the words "salvation", "enlightenment", "liberation", "awakening" all mean the same thing or point to the same concept?

In all the different religions and the great influential teachers that have walked the earth and left us with guidance on how to acquire the Holy Spirit and live with God, were their instructions to be taken as directions to the Promise Land?

And is Heaven only accesible after we die?

Or is a New Heaven and a New Earth possible in our present existence?

Does eternity begin Now in this Timeless Everlasting Moment and continue after the physical body dies?

Are we to worship Jesus only and pre-judge all others without ever giving them a chance to shine their wisdom?

Are we to demand worship for our deity as THE way... or are we to study all the different "ways" and see if all streams lead to the same ocean? 

Is it possible that people are stuck on idolatry rather than taking the path Jesus told us to take?

Since Jesus did things completely different than the church in His day, should we think outside the box as well and seek guidance from the Holy Spirit, The Father, and Christ who lives in our heart?

Is it possible that there are other explanations of The Bible that make perfect sense with Jesus' teachings?

Does the 'I am' in "I AM the way, the Truth, the Life..." point to the infinite spiritual being that dwells in each of us when we choose to live connected with God?

Would more people be inspired or turned on to being "saved" if we took into consideration that salvation meant you are getting out of the way and allowing God to take over ...letting go and letting God...living in faith...removing oneself from the system and choosing to reprogram yourself...renewal of the mind...flowing with the stream rather than resisting and swimming against the current?

Thank you for reading :) I certainly love to receive feedback from all walks of life.  I would love to hear what you have to say!

God bless us all....

Reality or Illusion? A Glimpse of Truth... or Not?

Is REALITY an ILLUSION?

Here is a video designed to get people thinking about the implications of a holographic world and the possibility of mindbending and manifesting.  What?!  I remember the excitement when the movie The Matrix came out in theaters.  Everyone was talking about what a cool movie it was, with such great effects.  When I finally saw the movie, I wasn't too thrilled about the graphics because I was so focused on the message.  The Matrix film was a modern attempt to awaken the mainstream population to a choice that each individual has, whether to take the road of ignorance and merely survive in mediocrity or choose the path of truth and all the responsibility that comes with it.  "To whom much has been given, much will be expected" as Jesus said.  "With great power comes great responsibility" as Spiderman would say. I had already taken the red pill and had been 'reborn'...but I was still just a newbie on my journey.  I had the idea that this message was going to impact people since it was so clear to me, I thought it would be an "Aha!" for others. I waited for the day everyone would catch on and jump in on the movement.  I would even ask people what they thought it was about just to see if they at least grasped some of it, they didn't. Maybe I asked the wrong people. That was a while back and a lot has happened since then.  But, I am always welcoming those questions that lead us to that sacred space within us where we have been given the power of choice... to connect or not to connect with the Divine realm of consciousness and creation. 

Anyway, I got this in my email and I would like to know what you think about this video that I am sharing with you here.  Is it too far out?  Is it garbage? Is it awesome? Why?

Love & Courage!

The 2000+ Year Ancient Secret to Experiencing Ultimate Success & Happiness… (now documented by science) from Jonathan Budd on Vimeo.


Hello friends!  I wanted to share a video I received today from Jonathan Budd on the secret to success and true happiness.  I think Jonathan did a good job in delivering the message from the heart and I appreciate that he takes the time to make these videos. I know a lot of people watched films and read books like "The Secret" and got excited about this topic of manifestation.  You can bet your life that manifestation is more than just positive thinking or wishing.  Actually, there have been many books and films that came before and after "The Secret" which have delivered the message of hope to the people.  Many people read about this topic and completely misunderstand it.  There are some folks that want this to be the quick fix, magic wand, genie in a bottle solution.  Sorry to break it to you, if you haven't figured it out already, there is no such thing!  Others are too busy taking sides and still practicing the ancient art of pride, so prejudice that they won't even listen long enough before they thump the "Satanic" label on it.  Well, I like to decide things for myself and hope that you do too.  I won't tell you what to believe.  Usually, I find that if you are open enough to hear someone out before you judge or label them, you might end up learning something.  There is wisdom in all of us, everyone has something to offer.  If someone is being courageous enough to bring a message forth, especially one that is controversial, it is worth my attention.  If the message doesn't resonate with my inner wisdom, I simply smile and discard it and continue on my journey.  Many times, I am pleasantly surprised.  Sometimes a message is deep and life-changing... other times it's not. 

Anyway, joy is not something you can fake.  Joy comes from within.   Happiness is temporary and can come and go from one moment to the next.  In our journey to building wealth in all areas of life, it all begins with the invisible and later manifests in the physical realm.  Our vision, thoughts, dreams, beliefs, attitudes, faith and the relationship we have with God are the real keys to paradise.  If you read The Bible, in Genesis, which is the beginning, God spoke everything into existence.  He created man in His image and likeness.  We have within us the power to create.  I am not saying that you are God.  I am not God either.  But we are all God's creation, meaning we all came from Him and have that in common.  Yet we each are different and have something unique to share with the world.   When we awaken to the truth of who we are, which is written in The Bible and in nature and in our hearts, then we gain a whole new set of eyes, a renewal of the mind, fresh insight from the Holy Spirit and life becomes awesome and majestic.  We are eternal beings, souls having a human/physical experience not the other way around.  If we want to address any issue in our lives, we must do so first internally.  You can control your views and attitudes and thoughts and reactions, regardless of external circumstances.  Building true wealth is an inside job and everlasting joy is a byproduct of spiritual well being.  Feed your spirit and all other needs will be met.  These are not just words, they are direct instructions and when followed and applied, you will inherit the Kingdom.  See you on the inside!


Joyful to serve,
Jennifer Orellana

A Fresh Perspective

We all face struggles in life, ups and downs, peak experiences and rock bottom ones too. As different as we all are, deep in the core, we all want the same things. We want to be loved, we want more pleasure and less pain. Often, we get so caught up in our differences that we lose sight of our connectedness. As humans we tend to label ourselves and each other so much, as if these mental walls could really separate the whole. Haven't you noticed how convinced we are of the truths we have identified with and chosen to view as absolute?  Sometimes we cut ourselves off from an opportunity when we don't think we can measure up to certain expectations.  Today, I want to encourage you to pay very close attention to the barriers you have set up for yourself which are keeping you from your highest potential.  Trust me, you have them, we all do!  Perhaps there is a gap between you and a loved one that needs attention.  You might secretly be wishing you could reconnect with someone or repair a relationship which has been broken for too long.  Well, if you are reading this, there is opportunity knocking at your door.  A healing is available, a miracle awaits.  


Why can't life just be simple?  Well, it kind of is.  Not that it's easy and you don't have to work at it.  But rather, we tend to complicate ourselves way too much.  A relationship between two people is a partnership and requires attention from both individuals.  Whenever you have two worlds merging into one, it can get messy.  The thing is, we look at the other person and expect to receive value.  Then, when our interpretation of value doesn't line up with theirs, we have conflict.  We have our own ideas of what is "right" or "wrong" and are constantly playing defense. Making our point known becomes like scoring a touchdown.  As we continue building up our list of annoyances, we disconnect more and more each time our "opponent" does it again! We don't realize how much we hurt ourselves when we let all the little offenses build up inside until the bubble bursts.  Then, we begin to question whether or not we are even playing on the same team.  See it starts out small.  One issue, okay maybe a few.  Then it's like too many issues so it must be the person.  Okay wait, it has to be the relationship because we clash way too much.  There is no understanding, compassion, or compatibility for that matter.  What am I doing here?  Sound familiar?  Maybe, it's not your romantic relationship...maybe it's one of your parents, kids, friends, teachers, boss, coworker, client, etc.  Either way, when you have an unresolved conflict, especially if you choose to ignore it or you bury the hurt, you are choosing to accept the stress that comes along with that choice.  Even if you are unaware that you have made a choice to blame the other, or to make an excuse as to why there is no solution, you still suffer the consequences.  You might even resent this person for bringing out the worst in you.  In case you didn't know, these are all toxic energies...poison that you are swallowing in the form of thoughts, mindsets, emotions that drain you of your vital energy and cause disease.


"So what can I do about it?", you ask.  And though each case is different and we are NOT a one size fits all community...we can all start by recognizing that we are all connected.  If you can at least bring awareness to that truth, then you are off to a great start.  So how are we connected and what solution can that possibly have to offer me?  We were all created from the same material, weren't we?  We are all energy.  We are souls expressing God's love...or not.  It is humbling to realign with the basic principles of life. So, in times when you feel you can't humble yourself, I say you focus on that which you have in common to wake up for a moment and drag you back in from ego.  The part of us that feels threatened is the ego.  And since "you cannot solve a problem from the same mind that created it".  I say, get out of your mind!  Get back to your heart and see the situation from a fresh perspective.  I am in no way saying that what the other person has done is acceptable.  I am not saying you should condone abusive behavior or neglect.  I am saying that fighting about it, is not helpful in any way.  Hate, anger, resentment are not to be ignored either.  Burying negative emotions instead of dealing with them is very damaging to your well-being and detrimental to your relationship...especially your relationship with yourself.  I am saying that your best approach is to bring light to the situation.  Feel the emotion fully but don't become it or let it take over and control you.  From a peaceful humble place, you can move forward.  Become the change.  Stop trying to control that which cannot be controlled.  In resisting what is, you create suffering.  In allowing, there is freedom.  What you can control is your reaction.  There is immense power when you are clear with what you want (love, joy, peace, purpose, etc) and then let go of the need to control, get out of the way, leave it to God!  As destructive as some people become when trapped in their minds that they will do anything in their power to defend their position.  This is not the way of a true warrior.  A warrior sees every challenge as a gift or an opportunity to strengthen oneself and the bond he/she has with life and the people in it.  A warrior chooses to live life with purpose choosing love as the map to fulfillment.  In every moment and with every choice, we could either be empowered or be depleted.  With every relationship, we have the opportunity to uplift others by asking ourselves what we could do to serve or asking God to use us.  Of course, if you approach life and relationships with suspicion, as if people are out to get you, then you will miss out on the joy that comes from trusting in God's will.  Unfortunately, you will be a burden instead of a blessing...hey, your choice creates your experience.  

In conclusion, the answer lies within.  The problem you wish to correct on the outside can only begin to be solved by accepting that there is no problem; only our thinking makes it a problem.  If you want to change your experience, you must change your perception of it.  Being responsible for your attitude, which is directly related to your outcome, is the key.  The secret to success is letting go of those habits and thought patterns which take up all your energy and leave you feeling drained and powerless.  STOP blaming others and external circumstances for your internal mess.  If you clean out your spiritual closet, change the internal dialogue and consistently choose to be true to yourself, then you are on the road to success.  If someone or something is dragging you down or keeping you from living your full potential, ask God to give you wisdom to remove all obstacles from your path.  When God speaks, don't doubt, take action.  And NEVER ever give up on yourself...giving up is suicide.  Instead, know that if you surrender your life to God, meaning if you choose to reach your full potential and be who you were created to be, you will be fulfilled beyond your expectations.  It's so worth getting out of your own way.  Bye bye excuses and insecurities....hello infinite possibilities!!!


Cheers to your fearlessness 
& persistence in the dream!

Wellness Is A State Of Being

People have asked me in the past, how I have lost as much as 50 lbs. at a time. When I have made a commitment to shed the pounds, I haven't done so through any specific diet program. I simply get it done in the mind first and then I make sure to keep vibrating at the "healthy fit lifestyle" energy level. I would say it's mostly my attitude and unwavering faith that get me to that end goal. The weight loss and awesomeness are just byproducts of that state of being.Once I decide to undergo this transformation, it's like in all areas of life, (spiritual, relationship, financial, physical, intellectual), I must first get in the "spirit" of that end goal. How does a healthy and fit person feel, think, speak, act??? I ask God to guide me and make the process effortless and enjoyable. Dare I say, it is almost like tuning in to a specific radio station or TV channel inside me. I just stay focused fully on the end result. I act as if I'm there already. There is no alternative. There are no doubts. It's done. I have accomplished this 3 times already. The first time I lost 50 pounds was before I had children. I only gained the weight back with my pregnancies and lost all of it twice. This time with my third and final pregnancy, I haven't doubted for a minute that it will be the same or an even better result. I felt inspired to document it and share. I am no different from you in the sense that we all have our inner demons attacking our intention. Each time I set forth on the weight loss/fitness journey, I hear all the negative self talk. I have faced challenges, injuries, and setbacks that my inner gremlin loves to throw at me as excuses to quit. But, for me, it's just not an option. I get passionate about this wellness endeavor. I take it on as a fun project. I get filled with enthusiasm and it does become effortless and enjoyable because... I let go and let God. Then, lo and behold! He hooks me up with the most delicious healthy meal inspirations and presents me with several cardio and strengthening activities that are suited to my personality that I end up falling in love with. We are human beings...not human doings. Instead of planning out what you must do to lose the weight...try changing or reprogramming your mind to who you must be. Once you are in the right state of being, expect God to design the perfect plan for you. Allow Him to personally guide your adventure and give you the creativity to choose the right course for you. Then, take action! And keep going no matter what. If you want to change, you must be the change...become it! Never ever give up. You will achieve it, be certain of it!

Most people approach weight loss with fear and loathing. It becomes all about sacrifice and deprivation. With that mentality, you are setting yourself up for failure and disappointment. As a result, you end up with a twisted perspective and a bunch of lies and excuses about why you are not being the person you desire to be. The insecurities and low self esteem then keep you from achieving other goals and dreams. Don't believe your gremlin. Take back your power. You can do it...you really can!

I will be updating blog with my progress! Email fearlessjenny@gmail.com for inspired weight loss coaching...or if you simply need someone to hold you accountable and help you stay on track!
