Video Highlights: [:49] A story about little bird&#8217;s nest from my porch&#8230; followed by a little story about the sandpipers at the beach
[2:11] (A little laughing place&#8230;)&#8221;The water the water the water, the water, the water, the water&#8230;&#8221;
[2:22] &#8220;I love nature&#8217;s lessons&#8230;..I think animals are optimists&#8230;&#8221;
[2:36] &#8220;&#8230;They (animals) don&#8217;t say &#8216;BOO HOO&#8217; about things, they don&#8217;t get moody about what comes their way; they just deal with it, and they deal with it in the best possible way.  How? They keep on moving, they keep on creating.  They keep on doing.&#8221;

<p>Video Highlights: [:49] A story about little bird&#8217;s nest from my porch&#8230; followed by a little story about the sandpipers at the beach<br />
[2:11] (A little laughing place&#8230;)&#8221;The water the water the water, the water, the water, the water&#8230;&#8221;<br />
[2:22] &#8220;I love nature&#8217;s lessons&#8230;..I think animals are optimists&#8230;&#8221;<br />
[2:36] &#8220;&#8230;They (animals) don&#8217;t say &#8216;BOO HOO&#8217; about things, they don&#8217;t get moody about what comes their way; they just deal with it, and they deal with it in the best possible way.  How? They keep on moving, they keep on creating.  They keep on doing.&#8221;<br />
&#8216;[3:01] &#8220;When something maybe is tragic, or that we perceive at the time is tragic happens like losing your job&#8230;<br />
then like Lilou Mace  http://www.youtube.com/user/liloumace (Her Book)  I Lost My Job and I Liked It&#8230;.  TO ORDER: http://www.liloumace.com/shop/I-lost-my-Job-and-I-liked-It_l3.html  &#8230;and she is a realist and she is an optimist and you can see how peacefully those can co-exist..&#8221;<br />
[3:35] &#8220;The more people that I know who are truly authentic with themselves, that projects onto how they&#8217;re authentic with other people.&#8221;<br />
[3:46]&#8220;You were put here for a reason that ONLY YOU can fulfill.  So was I and my gifts are different than your gifts.   My talents are different than your talents&#8221;<br />
[4:05] &#8220;We, as optimists, MUST CREATE&#8230;  We must invent things in our minds.  We must see things to their fruition.  We must come up with little inventions, or ideas, or events, or a better way to do something.&#8221;<br />
[4:36] &#8220;Everything around you, EVERYTHING around you was FIRST a thought of somebody else&#8230;&#8221;<br />
[5:10] &#8220;This necklace was made lovingly by one of my friends and subscribers &#8211;Christie, thank you so much&#8230;&#8221;<br />
[5:27] Everything,EVERYTHING that you consume; everything that you eat, everything that you wear, everything that you buy, everything that you touch everything that you are was first a thought of somebody else and so, why haven&#8217;t some of YOUR thoughts come to fruition?<br />
[5:47] &#8220;What inventions do you have inside of you? What creations are there inside of YOU, because only YOU can make those come out!  Only you see those crystal clear in your head, ONLY YOU.<br />
[6:02] &#8220;Part of what an optimist does is BELIEVE&#8230;&#8221;<br />
{6:14] &#8220;How do you suppress it&#8221; [the part of you destined to create]?<br />
[6:15] Ways to die a little bit and have little bits of your soul stolen &#8220;Those are the things that keep you from fulfilling what is part of your life&#8217;s mission.&#8221;<br />
[6:45] &#8220;Everything about you is born for creation.&#8221;<br />
[7:30] &#8220;What is it inside of you, that we can see SO STRONGLY, SO CLEARLY, that we can almost taste it?&#8221;<br />
[7:45] &#8220;Put away the things that are keeping us from becoming who we were meant to be and give the world the greatest gift of you &#8212; YOUR CREATIONS&#8221;</p>

[5:26] Ma Jaya teaches a technique called detachment to be able to function in horrific situations<br />
[7:31] &#8220;mediating, praying&#8230;to put myself in a place that I&#8217;m able to silence everything else that I can be able to be a good conduit for good things.&#8221;<br />
[7:42]&#8220;When you put good things in you get good things out&#8230;&#8221;<br />
[7:55] &#8220;In today&#8217;s world there is so much noise&#8230;&#8221;<br />
[8:25] &#8220;Take away some of those distractions and listen for inspiration&#8230;&#8221;<br />
[8:51] &#8220;Silence things&#8230;.Shh, be still&#8230;let some enlightening thoughts come to you.&#8221;<br />
[9:03] My story about a favourite broken vase&#8230;..<br />
[9:41] &#8220;It doesn&#8217;t take any character whatsoever to react in a negative way&#8230;&#8221;<br />
[9:48] &#8220;It takes a champion and it takes an optimist to be able to look at a situation and find something that&#8217;s good because there is always something that is good from it.&#8221;<br />
[9:58] &#8220;You are dialed in here today because somebody in the world needs you and needs your light and needs your optimism&#8230;&#8221; </p>

Some Video Highlights
[:40] Article: &#8220;Change Your Focus For Better Results&#8221;
[2:09] &#8220;Optimism isn&#8217;t something that you are necessarily born with. It is a skill you can learn.&#8221;

[2:09] &#8220;Optimism isn&#8217;t something that you are necessarily born with. It is a skill you can learn.&#8221;<br />

[6:50] The result of seeing the positive&#8230;<br />
[[7:06] When you have a rose&#8230;.see the blossom, not the thorns<br />
[7:32] &#8220;I&#8217;m not saying that you need to be blind to all of those other things; acknowledge them, accept them, validate them, appreciate them, but then make a conscious choice to LOVE the good parts.&#8221;<br />
[7:47] &#8220;There was a woman who, when she got married for the second time, she told her husband: &#8220;&#8230;80% of me is good and 20% of me is a work in progress; as long as you focus on the 80% that&#8217;s good, we&#8217;ll do great.&#8221; ~Barbara Barrington Jones<br />
[8:10] &#8220;Most of us are mostly good, and we are a work-in-progress on the parts of us that we KNOW we need to overcome, but that is part if the reason I think of why we&#8217;re here on the earth is to overcome and learn how to be more self-mastering.&#8221;<br />
[8:25] &#8220;I think one of the greatest things that we can do to discipline ourselves and to learn that kind of self-mastery to become our highest self is to learn how to be optimistic and learn not just to see the best in ourselves but to see the best in others.&#8221;<br />
[8:45] My student from Syria: Nahim Dahoch &#8220;You know, teacher, if I had teachers like you when I was growing up, I would probably be a doctor today.&#8221;<br />
[9:12] &#8220;If you look at the bad in people and you focus on the bad in people, you&#8217;re going to get the bad FROM people; but if you focus on the good in people, you&#8217;re going to get the good from people. Don&#8217;t you want that?&#8221;<br />
[9:34] &#8220;It&#8217;s a really beautiful, blessed way to see the world, is to see what&#8217;s great about it.&#8221;<br />
[9:53] It takes five positives to just neutralize a negative.</p>

Dianne locates someone from her past with the help of Oprah&#8217;s Search Network.  The Video Dianne Mentions: &#8220;MY STORY IS YOUR STORY: An Awakening For Alice&#8221;  (A fresh new take on the beloved tale of Alice in Wonderland has Dianne Hanks sharing her own transformation as a powerful allegory of growth and personal enlightenment after being leveled (The bottom of White Rabbit&#8217;s hole) by some tragic life circumstances.

[2:12] &#8220;I just always have believed that one day this would happen&#8230;&#8221;<br />
[2:25] &#8220;You believe so fervently that something will happen&#8230;&#8221;<br />
[2:51] &#8220;If you really have optimism, your behavior changes&#8230;&#8221;<br />
[3:04] &#8220;Optimism in Action&#8211; it&#8217;s the things that you DO, it&#8217;s not just a feeling you have&#8230;&#8221;<br />
[3:59] &#8220;I have just learned to just receive and accept the gifts.&#8221;<br />
[4:17] the painting!!!<br />
[5:03] &#8220;25 years &#8212; I can not believe it, but I never ever gave up hope&#8230;&#8221;<br />
[4:50] 25 years is a long time in coming, but I always believed it would happen<br />
[5:13] &#8220;I think that somehow, having my story to tell as YOUR story&#8221;<br />
[6:05] &#8220;That&#8217;s the whole message of the Alice in Wonderland story through my glasses; and remember, optimism is a way to see things, so my tale is not a tale of darkness, it&#8217;s a tale of light&#8230;.&#8221;<br />

<p>A special thank you to the Oprah Search Network for locating my friend from high school.<br />
A profound thank you to my friend for everything.  Your gentle, kind spirit and unspeakable talent has touched my life forever.<br />
Thank you to God for blessing me with this remarkable gift.  I&#8217;m so grateful.<br />
