Well, one of many dreams, I guess :)

Things are coming together here with High Vibe It, and the originating concept, which was to have a network of related sites.

The one I am most interested by at the moment is the Vibe Report. I’ll drop back here to formally announce that launch, probably by next week!

In the meantime, check out the Shop High Vibe It store… pretty cool to be able to find that stuff so easily. Don’t get me wrong, I love Amazon… but these subsets of content really help things stand out more on their own, ya know?

I got a kick out of this typical spin on the positive news “trend”.

Somehow, it is easy for some to miss the connection between the wave of Positive News sites, and the rise in Global Consciousness.

While mainstream media focuses on global warming, I am getting the feeling that there is a far greater change underway.

So I am just checking in here to say that the High Vibe It site is still kicking, and happy to be part of it all. We have had a few growing pains as we have learned how to best deal with spammers… but beyond that, we’re still serving up plenty of positive stories and blog posts to help you get your vibration where it will serve you best.

Come on over, and check out the upcoming section, and vote for the stories you like. That’s how they get to the front page, and in front of many other people!

Life has been busy for me… much is changing, right along with the season.

I dedicate this entry to the topic of change… and the power we all have to embrace change, and navigate our way to better and better choices along the way.

I wrote a private journal entry the other day that contained the phrase “Compass of Joy”.

For those of you familiar with Abraham-Hicks emotional scale, it is like that - except, for me, it helps to not think of it as a top down list. For me, that can stir up judgments… and what a waste that can be. So it helps me to see it as a continuous circle — and I can choose which direction I want to go in by simply looking at which way the arrow points.

In this analogy, the arrow is the way you feel.

It means having enough awareness and honesty with oneself to simply say “I am bored”, or “I feel enraged”… with no judgment. No “shoulds” attached.

That is the look down at the compass. From there, I can say with ease - oh - I am heading towards boredom right now, or I am heading towards anger. Let’s adjust course.

From there - you either know already, or have to ask yourself - where do I want to go? Where do I want to be headed?

My resounding answer - at this stage in my life - is simple, sweet and 100% spirit guided: JOY.

Ok… so let’s see where I am at… right now, I am heading for boredom… to get to Joy, I need to turn towards Contentment. Nice and easy now…. here we go… bored? Who’s bored. This is the sweet life. I am right where I need to be… all is well. Deep breath. Yes. This is good.

Whoa… what’s that? Feel that change? Feels good. The shift. Turning my attention. Intentionally. Almost makes me feel…. hmmmm, what’s this new feeling? Hopeful! Yes. This makes me feel rather hopeful. Oh - I am still new at this navigation thing, let me look at my compass… don’t want to get lost again. Wow - what do you know! I headed towards Contentment and just like that, I swung towards Hopefulness! Cool.

See how that works?

Nice and easy.

It is fun, not work. You can think of it as play. You are captain of your ship.

What kind of ship are you running, anyways??? Who’s your crew? What’s your destination?

Mine is Joy.

I travel there as often as I can these days.

This question has been with me lately…

To what kind of vibe am I attuned?

The more my awareness grows, the more I understand…. that what we experience is really a matter of that to which we are attuned… almost literally. Our experiences are “a matter of” that to which we are attuned.

If you go looking for bad news, there’s plenty of it out there. It’s a very safe bet. If you are convinced humanity sucks…. yup, you’re gonna find plenty of evidence of that too.

The amazing thing, well, it still *feels* amazing to me, is that the opposite is so true too. The more I look around for beauty, wisdom, love, and light - wow… there they are… over here, there, coming at me this way and that.

The world wide web is an amazing representation and extension of humanity…. the good, the bad, and the ugly. The good, however, often gets overlooked.

That’s what High Vibe It is all about. Finding the good stuff, sharing the good stuff, and visiting a place where like minded folks can come and discuss and contribute.

These last few months have been busy for me, so I have done my best to keep the spammers out, and keep a few good links in the publishing queue. But this past week, I have finally found the time to get back into the swing of things.

The site has been upgraded with the latest version of the Pligg engine. I have added google youtube video ads instead of the text/image ads… there is some very interesting stuff that comes through in these videos, and I am intrigued by the interplay of these ads with the content on the site… and from the looks of it, we have a few new members!

So as a way to kick off 2008 here on High Vibe It (hey, better late than never!), I just wanted to point out two new interesting sites that have come to my attention, along with a few published links from those sites:

• From this post highlighting a Flowchart that shows the teachings of the Law of Attraction, I was happy to find a very active forum all about LOA! Always nice to find other active communities on the Law of Attraction! So, welcome aboard Atlantis! If you would like to see some of the other items submitted by this member, you can check out the list here.
• This next site appeared on Digg of all places today. The site is named Think Simple Now… a topic I have become quite interested in this year! The post that caught my eye is titled The Simple Life. It’s a very worthwhile read, and a great site to spend time at.
• There a couple of other sites that have really stood out lately that I also want to bring your attention to… one of them is called How To Live A More Fulfilling Life.
• Another great site that has come to my attention is Tupelo Kenyon’s site. Tupelo has been a member here for quite some time, and is now one of our top users! Take a look at the items submitted by Tupelo for some great reading.

I have a feeling some really good stuff is going to be coming through the High Vibe It site.

I invite you to join the site, share the good stuff you come across on the web, vote for the upcoming stories that you like to help ensure they get published for everyone to see, subscribe to the RSS feed, and participate in this growing community…
