Why Positive Focus? Being and feeling creative, joyful and inspired has been part of my essence since I can remember. Inspiring others to savor the wondrous joy of living, to embrace their true selves, bring to light their creative passion, and to heal within and without is my passion and soul’s calling.  Positive Focus is a natural channel for me to be able to serve as an integral catalyst in sparking a genuine shift in consciousness by opening the hearts, minds and spirits of those seeking a genuine transformation, which brings harmony, balance, love and healing to their lives. What better context to celebrate, share and spread joyful living!

About Joann

Joann is currently taking Teacher training from her yoga studio and has started to pursue a career change to making a living in glass (stained glass, fused glass, lampworked beads), jewelry and handmade cards. She has 5 years of experience in project management, 7 years of experience as a technical software development manager and 5 years of experience as a software development engineer.

Her current spiritual path started gaining momentum in 2005, after her divorce. She’s been greatly influenced by Power of Now and A New Earth as well as a more disciplined yoga practice. What the Bleep, Moses Code and Happier Than God have been great for crystallizing many concepts for her as well. Her purpose is to learn about and experience spiritual concepts as she is led and to share experiences with others on similar paths, in order to live a more fulfilled life, meaning being more present, making decisions more consciously, accepting herself and others more honestly and fully, living with less drama and more wonder, co-creating her life, being engaged in activities that bring joy and love, rather than fear and suffering, and having a great time doing it. She also seeks to encourage, help and share with others around her who are not currently on a similar path, who are suffering and may be ready for a change.

Why Positive Focus? I’m just open to exploring/learning about living a more fulfilled life. I think the tagline in the logo is what drew me to the group. At first, I wanted others to discuss A New Earth, but realized that I wanted to meet and befriend others of like mind. I wanted to meet people who are also open to new concepts, strive for living in the Now and making conscious choices without judgment, strive to apply law of attraction principles, to understand the power of our thoughts and choose the positive and are loving, encouraging and accepting and most of all fun!

About Chris

Who am I? 

Let me begin by describing who I am not.

I am not my body.

I am not my mind.

I am not any one or the sum of the roles I play or have played.

I am not my beliefs.

I am not the collective sum of my experiences.

So many people define themselves by what they do, what they think or what they look like. In so doing they limit themselves unconsciously, becoming inextricably tied to that label that they define themselves as. I feel for these people, for should they ever lose that label, they lose their identity, or a part of it, and then feel lost, not knowing “who they are.”

A wonderful thing happens when you let go of labels and don’t attach your identity to them. You simultaneously feel free and at the same time secure. You are free to be exactly who you choose to be in any given moment, without limits or bounds. You are secure because nothing can take away who you really are.

Who I am is simply an extension of Spirit having a Human Experience.

What does that mean? It just means that while I’ve had (and continue to have) all kinds of diverse experiences in this existence, I simply do not define who I am by those experiences, or even this existence.

I simply am.

About Lena

She leads a monthly Law of Attraction discussion group that focuses on your experiences with living the universal laws rather than just learning about them.

The most common things you will hear others say about Lena is that she is an inspiration, has an infectious personality and laughs more than anyone you know. It is with these same traits that she helps others to create joy in their lives and works with them to achieve their deepest desires.

She has managed people and projects, led others through success strategies, reengineered processes for quality and performance improvement, developed and delivered programs for learning, and been a worker bee.

Her personal journey involved working her way through college while she experienced corporate life. A love for the many years she devoted as a corporate trainer led her to launch a personal development campaign of her own led her to where she is today.

Using a blend of attraction principles and self discovery, she guides clients on a journey from connecting with their inner wisdom to creating a life of abundance. Her background in corporate America and focus in Training and Development, combined with energy work as a Reiki Master Teacher, gives her a unique perspective on creating flow between logical and esoteric thoughts and actions.

Why Positive Focus? When I first met Carol and took a look at the Positive Focus site I instantly knew that I wanted to be a part of the community not only as a potential resident and business office lessee, but also to help grow PF in whatever way resonated with both of us. As the world continues to shift with more and more people wanting to make a difference in their own lives as well as the lives of others, I feel that it is a perfect time for Positive Focus to carve out a place in the market and promote

·         Creating and living a fulfilling life

·         Being surrounded by other positive thinkers

·         Bringing together people who want to shift their reality to being focused on what they can do in their world and creating it

·         Creating spaces where people can go to learn and grow,

And so much more.
