What a trip this has been! The universe is conspiring to bless me AND YOU if you just believe. I am realizing that all of this I’m doing lately is to give people the opportunity to open the flow of giving and receiving. One woman told me if someone had donated the entire amount needed, it would have prevented so many others from participating.
You still have a chance to make a difference – I board the plane in less than 3 weeks!! ♥

So much has happened since the last post on April 29, 2013 that I want to share with you!
It’s really an incredible journey that I’m taking and I’m excited to have you along for the journey.
On April 29/May 1st, I began a campaign to “Awaken the Shaman” within by asking everyone I know to send me into the jungles of Peru to study with some of the most amazing healers.
If you have already donated, thank you so much!
Before I introduce you to Raamon Newman, CEO and Managing Partner of Raam Global Partners, take a look a moment to reflect on this day of everlasting achievement.
According to the Vedic Calendar, today (May 13, 2013) marks “Akshaya Tritiya.” The word “Akshaya” means “the never diminishing” in Sanskrit. Click here to read more...
Before I go into detail I just want to take a moment, and give a special note of thanks to long-time subscribers who have been with me since 2006. You are among the most loyal, loving and supportive fans. You’ve seen me rise and fall on my face. You’ve seen me accomplish the impossible. And you stayed with me and waited patiently for me to return to blogging.
I’m very humbled by all of this.
Thank you!
For those of you who are new subscribers – welcome. I’m so happy to have you onboard. I hope to get to know you more!
So what’s all the excitement about in this blog post?
Well, a rare opportunity to learn the art of ancient healing in the Amazon jungles has come my way - it’s something that’s been on my bucket list for several years and I am asking you to help me get there. Click here to read more...
In this day and age, there are almost a billion Facebook users today and chances are pretty good that you are on there too!
If you haven’t already discovered for yourself, FB affords an amazing way to keep in touch with old and new friends, family, clients, fans and the like. I’m even in touch with my fifth grade teacher from oer 40 years ago who said the now-famous 3 words that forever changed my life, the story of which you read first in this blog and was subsequently published in my first book Obstacle Illusions.
I have an announcement to make!
As a result of completely re-engineering how I intend to serve the world, I’ve created a brand new Facebook page called “Awakening Specialist” where I provide uplifting, inspiring and potentially important information relating to the awakening of the planet’s collective consciousness. I also share quotes from other inspiring authors, shamans, speakers, light-workers as well as those of my own.
Please take a moment and browse around the page. If it feels good to you and you’d like to receive updates, please be sure to “like” it and tell your friends about it!
On other news, a brand new website and blog is also in the process of being developed. Stay tuned for the new URL to be announced on the FB page in the very near future! While this blog will still be available online for public consumption, when the new blog/website is up and running, I will be more active at the new site since the theme over there fits like a glove my new mission statement of “I help awaken people to their true divinity.”
In the meantime, the image you see here is something I created for the new FB page.
One of the mines I visited this summer in Arkansas
In the last article I briefly expounded on one of several trips, actually road trips to be specific, to Arkansas where I went hunting for quartz crystals.
“Why,” you are probably asking.
Good question!
I had the same question. Let me share how it all unfolded.
This has been an amazing year for me spiritually because I have been practicing the art of listening to my inner self and I have been hearing what it’s telling me loud and clear. One day I literally woke up with this unexplainable, more like unfathomable, interest in quartz crystals. If you know me well enough, you’d know that when something profound shifts inside me and catches my attention, I become like an arrow speeding toward the bull’s eye with uncanny accuracy. I suddenly become consumed with the subject at hand and learn as much as I can with the incredible focus and intensity. It almost becomes obsessive. Click here to read more...
2012 has been the year of road travel, visiting places like North Carolina, Arkansas, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and Missouri. All of them have led to some amazing magical experiences, especially Sedona which I will write about today.
All of these trips were spirit inspired – I simply heard the powerful call to rise up and go forth. The feeling was so strong that I knew I couldn’t ignore them. In the back of my mind, I held the possibility that spirit was leading me somewhere so that I could serve some kind of higher calling. Or maybe even learn a lesson or two.
In North Carolina I visited a couple living in Asheville, which I had heard was a spiritual mecca, progressive and very beautiful. The only way one could enter and leave North Carolina, particularly Asheville, was through mountain passes. While the passing scenery was tantalizing, the idea of driving these mountain roads in the winter truly gave me the willies. Click here to read more...
It’s been over a year since my first book was launched in March 2011. On the day it was released, it shot through Amazon rankings and became an instant national bestseller. Did you get yourself a copy?
If not, the end of the year is fast approaching and I’m having a “Back to School” inventory sale – Obstacle Illusions is on sale for 12% off the list price plus shipping!
The offer is only good until midnight, Thursday, September 13th, 2012 and then I’m taking down this post so here’s your opportunity to get yourself an autographed copy while there’s still time!
If you want more information about the book, take a look at the landing page but don’t buy the book there because the sale price is only available through this blog post, right here! Click here to read more...
The year of 2012 has been rather incredible for I found myself taking an interest in many things, mostly of spiritual nature, that I never before contemplated. If you’ve been following me on Facebook lately, you’ll know that I literally woke up one day and suddenly became enamored with quartz crystals to the point where I actually went on a road trip this summer to Arkansas to dig them up! You might want to put that on your bucket list. It was an incredible experience.
Below you’ll see a table full of newly cleaned crystals from that expedition. I’ll be sharing more on my experience with quartz crystals and other minerals in a future blog post.
A week after I came back from Arkansas, the universe told me there was a man right here in this town who owned gigantic crystals and I was eventually invited to see them at his property. Imagine my surprise! More on that as well in a future article. Click here to read more...
Breakfast with Mike, a Couchsurfing host in Sedona, AZ
If you haven’t heard of Couchsurfing (CS) and you really want to travel around the world but without having to spend money on hotels, this article is for you!
I first heard of CS through a friend. In this article I’d like to tell you what it’s like to be a part this unique community and encourage you to at least take a look at the idea of offering your home to those who might be coming through your town. If you’re unable to host because you still live with your parents or have a really tiny place that only fits just yourself and perhaps a pet, then it’s no biggie – you can indicate on your profile that you’d be happy to show people around and have coffee with them.

After months of not writing, I am back! You might notice I’ve renamed this blog from “Overcoming Obstacle Illusions” to “Rediscovering Yourself” which I feel is a much more appropriate theme because, after all, we are all remembering who we are and why we are here. I’ve been on a spiritual journey of sorts since 1995, remembering along the way why I am here and wanting to share my experiences with you so that your innate memories can also be triggered. My aim is to inspire, uplift and help you rediscover yourself in preparation for the coming evolutionary changes on the planet. Believe me, we’re in for a real treat in the coming days, months and years! Click here to read more...
It’s been over 50 years since I came screaming into the world and let me tell you, it’s been one hellva journey! And I’m still not done. I sense that I have much more work to do.
Meanwhile, I’ve noticed that on the way to wherever God has planned for me, I’ve had to go through at least 3 different stages to arrive at a point where I realize I am NOT really in CONTROL.
And neither are you.
Were you taken aback for a moment? That’s good! Continue on and see for yourself how I’ve arrived at that conclusion. The following are three phases I’ve personally experienced in my life. Perhaps you’ll recognize yourself in one of them or somewhere in between.
Phase One – “I’m a victim”
I know this might be hard to believe but there was a time when I cried out to God, “Why me?” Click here to read more...
I don’t proclaim to be an expert in Social Media but I’m smart enough to recognize the power of branding yourself through this platform.
Now think about this for a minute.
Even kids in Kindergarten are using IPads!
Fifty percent of the world’s population is under 30 years old and they know more about technology than any other generation!
Social Media is about people – like it or not, it’s a new way of building relationships.
There are 700 million members on Facebook. Almost 1 billion! How many of you can honesty say you can’t start the day without checking Facebook? It used to be that I couldn’t wait to check my email but nowadays the first thing I do is check my FB page BEFORE I check emails. Imagine that!
Seriously though, what a long winter! I find it amazing to think that summer is only 35+/- days away.
Time to take a look at those surf shorts and bikinis collecting dust and make sure YOU are looking and feeling your best for the warmer weather. If YOU or SOMEONE you know wants to order more product or wants information on Isagenix, please connect with me as soon as possible.
I am digging all the recent success stories of people on my team and want to be sure that WE ALL look and feel our best for the summer of 2011.
30-Day Program - Look Hot to Trot anywhere you go this summer! I lost 16 lbs and trimmed off 4 inches in my first 30 days. Then I went on a 9 day cleanse as a follow up and lost an additional 2 lbs and another inch off my waist. It’s unbelievably powerful! http://stephenhopson.isagenix.com/us/en/thirtyday.dhtml Click here to read more...
I needed a place to write a press release prior to arriving in Chicago this weekend (April 29-30-31) for anyone who might have media contacts out here. If you have any media connections there, please send them to this page so that they can read the press release and contact me or Diana Makeig, Executive VP of YTS. If they are unable to reach us for some reason, they can just show up and will be allowed admission on the night I am speaking.
One other thing – there will be an interpreter for the deaf if they want to come to the YTS seminar on Friday night, April 29th. The cost of admission for that evening is only $25. Go and tell!
Debra Poneman, co-author of "Chicken Soup for the American Idol Soul" and creator of "Yes to Success!"
Several of you have seen my updates on Facebook about Debra Poneman’s Yes to Success (YTS) seminars that I’ve attended this year. In January 2011, I went to YTS in Chicago and then again in LA last month. I guess you can say I’ve become addicted to YTS and for a very good reason!
Some of you may have taken the seminar back in the 1980′s and I want you to know that as a result of taking her seminar twice (and going for the 3rd time at the end of April!!), I am completely and utterly transformed! Not only is it so relevant to my (and your) life but Debra has added so many powerful components and guest speakers. Let me specifically tell you how it transformed my life.

Profoundly deaf since birth, Stephen is a transformational speaker specializing in personal development for spiritual beings having a human experience. He has proven again and again that obstacles are illusions. Against conventional wisdom, he became the world's first deaf instrument pilot in 2006. During the early 90's, he was an award-winning stockbroker in the rough and tumble world of Wall Street.

What a trip this has been! The universe is conspiring to bless me AND YOU if you just believe. I am realizing that all of this I’m doing lately is to give people the opportunity to open the flow of giving and receiving. One woman told me if someone had donated the entire amount needed, it would have prevented so many others from participating.
