Velma Gallant, aka the Queen Of Joy, is a testament of someone who has gone through some rough times in her life and has overcome these adversities triumphantly!

She has a passion for teaching others how to do the same in their own lives, and this is exactly what we discussed on the show, 5/5/9.

Velma said one of the important things she learned is that she has control over her own joy, even when challenges rise up and do not go away--In your face sort of challenges!

This is where the spiritual tool chest comes in that we referred to throughout the show! Velma's book is called: "Juicy Bites Of Welcome Changes." In essence, the book is a compilation of spiritual tools we can all use when times are rough-and when they are not!!

One tool is called the "Dump and Flip"--Velma used this tool during a time when she had many in her face kind of challenges which she needed to consciously release, and she did so with this tool.

She was about to lose her home and was worried about her three year old son. Velma had been teaching the Law Of Attraction for the past three years and wanted to put what she knew to the test.

This is how she described "Dump and Flip." Take one piece of paper and fold it in half. On the left hand side, Dump your fears and worries. On the right hand of the folded paper, you flip the worries 180 degrees.

DUMP: I hate it when the creditors call me and I have nothing I can say that satisfies them.

FLIP: Next time they call, we will celebrate together, because my house will be paid off!!

And so on.

Compost the side of the paper with all the DUMPS.

Place the Flips into your prayer box.

The Flips are your Life Visions. Cherish them and nurture them. Do not harbor DOUBT about any of these things!

Do this tool on an as needed basis.

One of Velma's clients made a scrap book of her visions!!

Velma uses a whole wall to place all of her visions!!

Concentrate on the end result joyfully! Think of each piece of the puzzle with all five senses! Technocolor vision it!!

We discussed the amazing experience Joan had on Second Life the night a few of us assisted Joan in the visualization of her dream house on the beach!! We kept at it until she had the vision firmly in her mind's eye!

We discussed New Years Resolutions. Most people come up with resolutions they think they "should" do, like losing weight or quit smoking.

That's why these seldom happen, because a person's heart just isn't into the should or the ought.

A resoluton from the heart is an evolution, says Velma. Plans for Moon, Moo & You came about at the New Year and we had a vision about the show. So now we say Moon, Moo & You was a New Year's Evolution.

A New Years Evolutions is when you think of the passions you want to achieve, and you watch these evolve as the year matures.

Tam of Milagro World asked Velma about her concept of "Plurking!"

Work plus play is plurk. Always think of a way to celebrate everything you do. Don't allow the concept of "Work" get in the way of your having fun--thus Plurk!

Work is a four letter word, says Velma. She adds play to everything. She always asks, "How can I make this more fun?"

And the mirror exercise. Everyday, look in the mirror and tell your self, "I love you."

Do this even if you think you can't or don't want to. When you shower, say that you love every part of your body as you wash it!

Extend this to the people in your world. When people do seemingly stupid things, think to yourself, "They are doing the best that they can with what they have.

"And so am I."

If you are unhappy at your job, learn to love everything about it before you leave it. You do not have to believe: Simply let go of not believing. Let the space between the beliefs do its magic.

You may think it is irresponsible to leave your job to do what you love.

Journal this: What would it take to:

Shift your belief about responsibility to include:

I am being responsible to my spirit by living my dream.

This may take the I Love You Mirror work and lots of it to be able to truly make this shift.

But for me, being responsible to my soul and my life purpose is the greatest responsibility of all!!

This was an idea that resonated deeply and I appreciate you, Velma, for helping me see this Flip in my perspective!!
