As I taught my four-week teleclass "Beyond Your Wildest Dreams, Visioning for Positive Change," I participated in the exercises along with the wonderful seekers who joined me. And things really started popping.

"I give myself over to the unexpected. I am willing to fly as far and high as I am called to go" is the affirmation I extracted from my own visioning process. As I worked with it I began opening one beautiful gift after another.

My first gift was reading a web page that gave me an indication of the abundance another coach had attracted to her in one teleclass and I thought, "I can do that!" My expectations were raised.

The second gift was from one of the seekers in the class who said she would have been disappointed if the class had been filled. I was on a bridge line that holds 99 people and the idea of seeing it filled expanded my vision considerably! I know of a TeleLeader who reaches that many people regularly. I, too, can do that!

The third was when a fellow TeleLeader asked if I wrote teleclasses for others. It was an entirely new idea to consider. I can do that! That questions brought to the forefront a teleclass that addresses writing talks and teleclasses that I had thought of that but had allowed to slid down the "to do" list a little. A month later it became my E-book Make Your Point! Creating Dynamic Outlines for Talks, Teleclasses, Articles and E-books."

I continue working with that affirmation and the other wonderful circumstances keep showing up. For instance, as I start to work on a new teleclass or e-book idea I often find there is a lot of material that I have already written or gathered to support the concept. It's always a surprise, like opening a gift when it isn't even your birthday. I can accept that!

I realized two things from this flow of abundance. My visioning affirmation is about letting go and being willing to change. It is about acknowledging that all my teleclass plans and e-book and CD ideas are simply a gathering of possibilities to consider. And when I invite in the unexpected-an adventure, a new discovery-I am opening the door of my experience wider and wider. I can certainly do that!

The second thing I realized was that all the things that are manifesting have been incubating in my consciousness for quite a while and that their time has come. I am aligned with the Universal Flow and it is a joyous experience and celebration of bringing powerful ideas into form.

As I look over the myriad of new opportunities from which I get to choose, I realize that each one of them offers me a journey of discovery, a climb to a new height.

When we are willing, when we look at every task and say, "I can do that!" it is an affirmation of positive choice, of great expectations, of knowing that every opportunity comes wrapped with the way it can happen.

All we have to say is, "I can do that!"

Can you do that?
