In this enlightening conversation, Kim Griffith and I delve into the transformative power of the Law of Attraction and personal manifestation. Kim shares her journey from a life of complaint and cynicism to one of empowerment and joy, emphasizing the importance of choice, gratitude, and positive thinking.
The discussion explores how our thoughts and feelings create our reality, the significance of maintaining a high vibration, and the role of gratitude in attracting abundance. We encourage you to embrace your own power to manifest your desires and navigate life's challenges with an open mind and heart.
It is Kim's most heartfelt desire that every woman on the planet knows how magnificent, special and perfect she is exactly as God created her.
"I teach women how to work with the Law of Attraction in a way that’s both practical and deeply spiritual. I show them how to shift their energy, own their desires, and live from the place where their dreams already exist. My work is about helping women stop settling, start believing, and attract the love, purpose, and abundance that were always meant for them."
"Taking time for me is taken in the barn hugging a horse, square dancing, (it's cooler than it sounds), or hanging out with friends...including my husband. I have an amazing life, and I want you to have your most amazing life too!"
