The Faith And Energy To Change Your Life

"I walk down the street. There is a hole. I don't see it. I fall in. It isn't my fault. It takes a very long time to get out.

I walk down the same street. There is still a deep hole. I pretend not to see it. I fall in. I pretend it's still not my fault. It takes a long time to get out.

I walk down the same street. There is still the same deep hole. I see it. I fall in anyway. It's a habit. I get out quicker this time.

I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole. I see it. I walk around it. I don't fall in.

I walk down a different street." -Portia Nelson

Hello Friends,

Greetings from my honeymoon (I was married on December 22nd)... I intend to stay on a lifelong honeymoon! I know it can be so because my husband feels the same way. We are in agreement. I have come a long way in my intimate life, my emotional intelligence. It has been joyful work, and worth every second.

I hope you all had the happiest of holidays, and that you’re excited about ringing in a brand new year. No matter what has transpired in 2012, 2013 could be a year of renewal, a year of manifesting your dream life, and for those of you who are single, the year you attract the love you want.



At our wedding, it was interesting how many of our friends expressed a strong desire to find the person to spend their lives with. Each time someone said it, I was amazed that it was within seconds of another guest having expressed the same thing.

Lately, it seems that people are not afraid to "put it out there," and that is fantastic, because putting it out there is half the equation. The other half is about knowing what you want, being clear about what you want and what your intentions are.

This goes for everything, not just romance and relationships.

I sat with a friend a few days before our wedding and she expressed her strong desire to find her life’s partner; but she was so vague and unclear about what she wanted in a partner, that she attracted a partner who was not right for her. Specificity is everything in manifesting. Claiming and declaring needs to be pin-point specific.

Let me explain what I mean.

My friend said she wanted to find her life’s partner. I asked what that looked like. She sat there with a blank expression. What did I mean? Well, I want to know what he looks like, what does he smell like, what he acts like, how he speaks to you, how you feel when you are with him, and how he treats you. This caused her to do some serious thinking.

Enter the notebook. This is for writing all of these things down, and changing them if need be. Using your highest imagination is everything in manifesting. I want you to imagine what you want so thoroughly, that you can feel what you are imagining as if it is already happening to you. Saying thank you for it in advance is not only showing your gratitude for what you have, but what you’ve been through to learn about what you now want and need, and what is coming to you.

Act as if. As if it is already here.

Now here’s a component not many people speak about: you must be ready and prepared for that which you are imagining for yourself. Be what you want in another person. You can’t just wish for something and not be what you are wishing for. This is where it get’s tricky so I have a system that helps you to be ready. You must be well enough emotionally to receive a person who is wired right.

So I ask...

What’s your sign?

Every one of us has an invisible sign that hangs around their neck. It states what you have accumulated and become from not knowing how to shine a bright light on your hurts and damages from life’s past experiences. Smart, evolved people can read these signs, invisible or not. Smart, evolved people want to be with other smart evolved people.

Unfortunately, emotional vampires can also read invisible signs and use it to their wicked advantage. I tell you this not to scare you, but to awaken you, to show you that it is your own responsibility to know what the sign around your neck says.

Some signs will say "needy, please don’t hurt me, I don’t trust anyone," while others signs say, "evolved, too smart for fools, I am loved, I forgive myself, I am ready to receive the good now!"



My sign was "I trust no one" and I discovered when I took the time to learn to trust myself and my own judgement, then I wouldn’t have to mistrust. My knower would know. My emotions would not rule me. I would not be clouded by emotional judgement, but conventional wisdom and common sense.

I had to take full responsibility that my picker and knower were broken, and until I went off to heal the broken places within myself, that the chances of choosing any better would only bring me more of the same.

Another girl, who came to me for a session looking to find her Mr. Right had focused on where she was going to go on her honeymoon, and her wedding details, but when I pressed her, she said not a word about the groom. Hence, 2012 came and went without a relationship let alone a prospect. She was focused on a fantasy, not a dream. Not a goal, not what’s important. Not what lasts.

She didn’t know what she didn’t know.

After an hour with me, I guarantee, you’ll know something.

So the first thing I want you to focus on is yourself. Put some effort into knowing what the sign around your neck says. When I work with clients, this is the first thing I do. It’s always amazing to me how fast people come up with their signs, especially when they are open to wanting to change for the better, to attract like. As the saying goes, like attracts like. If what you have to offer someone is needy love, you will attract a needy emotional vampire. If you work to be the whole you, the smart you, the fulfilled you, the complete you, then imagine the possibilities.

First you must ask:

Who am I?
What do I want, exactly?
What does it move like?
What does it feel like?
How am I when I am living this dream?

As we begin 2013, get a dedicated notebook or journal for your manifesting. Every month we will be exploring tapping into the faith and energy to change your life.

I am so grateful for all of you in 2012. Let’s make 2013 an incredible year of faith, hope, renewal, rebirth, and turn things around for our good.

Love For Sure,
Mrs. Fisher (or as Todd calls me, Kitty Fish)

People, Love.

Greetings from my 2012 Comedy Hypnosis Tour.

I write this from West Springfield, MA, where I am performing at the astonishingly beautiful The Big E Fair. I have been so blessed with such great audiences, and being able to meet so many people whom I have spent many years with via the television; beamed into their living rooms over the past twenty something years.

We knew we were like family but didn’t know how deep a connection we had formed, until One Life To Live was gone and we could not visit anymore on a regular basis.

Lots of happy tears have taken place here. This is why I love touring so much.

I’m so blessed. Day after day, show after show, I get to love on, and be loved on, by so many incredible people. I am truly happy that I chose a profession where I could connect to people on a level that is deeper than I ever imagined.

This has been quite a ride so far.

Every night I experience real magic. I have made new friends, met many social media friends I only knew by a little picture on my computer, and have entertained and connected with people ranging in ages from 6 to 85!

People love to laugh, love to be together, love to connect, and people love to see something unusual.



People, love.

As I explain in the beginning of the show, “Hypnosis is not something I do to you, it is something we do together.” People always tell me they can’t believe how good they feel after a show, how peaceful they feel (both the audience members as well as the volunteers) and the real magic is, it’s them who make it happen.

It is their mind that takes them there, not mine.

When people stop smoking, lose weight, overcome pain, illness,  find their mojo, choose happiness or sadness, it is their mind that creates it, not mine. I am just the tour guide. The truth is, all they needed was to be shown that their power is within. They have always had the power in them, just like you have the power within you, right now. We were created to be great and powerful beings, whatever that means to us.

Learn what that means to you. You have to be in it to win it.

Sometimes we allow ourselves to be paralyzed by our fears. We believe that we must accept what is happening and we just give up from exhaustion, and fright, which go hand in hand.

I have allowed it, many times. I know the feeling all too well.



When I learned a little something about the mind, I refocused my thinking patterns and now prefer to look at it and think about challenges in a different way. I believe we must acknowledge what is happening, and take it from there. Caving in and falling apart is not an option when we must and want to move forward. If we need to, we can take a rest, we can take a break, and put it aside, as long as we are not in denial about what we are doing. The only time we give up is when we are absolutely sure we are done with a feeling, a situation, a relationship, a job, whatever it is, and, be done with it.

It’s hard to move forward from something until we are done.

If we are not done, then we must claim that we are taking a break, and give ourselves a time when we will get back to the solution, then peacefully relax, recharge, regroup and most of all, refresh.

I recently met a man who lost his wife to cancer six years ago and has had a hard time moving forward. He has been living in his grief; he was feeling sad, lonely, and somewhat hopeless.

However, his inner want was to be able to somehow move forward and find love again; this was evident to me. So I took him on a small mental journey to allow his mind to explore the possibilities that are still ahead of him, and then watched his sadness become hope. His mind turned a corner, in an instant. Change is absolute, we will have to experience it many times in this life. Embrace the notion that often it is for the better, even though it may not seem like it at the time.

Changing ourselves and how we think is a different animal.

Change is easy, it happens in an instant. It’s the decision to change that is hard. However, when we have had enough, we will find a way. When we learn to redirect our focus, and then focus on the positives to overcome and rise above the negatives, we will see our lives change for the better. Your mind follows your own direction.



Nothing good can come to us when we have the barrier of fear as our shield. But, being fearless is nonsense, sometimes our fears are there to protect us, that is what intuition is for, and this is healthy. To be taken down by the fears that we manufacture is another thing altogether. 

Remember who you are. Remember whose you are. Notice the words that come out of your mouth, because your mind takes direction beautifully. Eliminate the words try, and can’t from your vocabulary. Replace them with I will, and I can.

Soon, You will start to notice other people’s negative language.

Just these small changes will make a huge difference.

If you need to, take an appointed break from your emotions and RE-FOCUS.

Be aware of your thoughts, and get good with yourself. Remember that you really are not in this alone, and pray for peace and guidance, and then listen in your stillness.

You are loved.

Love always,
Cat XO

Paradise Found

I'm not much of a vacation girl. Anytime someone says, "you need a vacation," my toes curl.

Staying home is a vacation for me as I am a true homebody. Because I travel so much for my work, being home feels like absolute Heaven which is why I call our home "The Heaven On Earth Lodge." Just put me in the bed, turn on the TV, put a Mac Computer in my lap, a bag of Cheetos by my side, and I'm a happy girl.

So when Todd said we were going to spend a month in Lake Tahoe with his mother, who just happens to be Debbie Reynolds, I was wondering how I would do. I've never taken a month's vacation in my life.

My Todd is the easiest person to be within the world. We laugh a lot, we love a lot, and we get along like a house on fire. We're both tech geeks, we both love Turner Movie Classics Channel, pawn shops, garage sales, and pretty much anything else that's all-American. He is sincerely one of a kind and I learn something new from him every day, which proves that you actually can teach an old Cat new tricks. I still marvel that love could find me as I enter the second act of my life. It can find you, too.

I am crazy about Todd's mom. She's as real as real gets, and that, as the saying goes, is as rare as Hens Teeth in this world, let alone the entertainment business. Todd adores his mother, which makes me love him even more. We spend as much time as we can with her when we are in LA, but it never feels like enough, so I was really looking forward to spending time with her in the beautiful mountains of Lake Tahoe.

The best thing about being with Debbie is Debbie. She is incredibly funny. She is beyond interesting. She is not into small talk (neither am I) and so with her, you're going to get the goods. She has been through everything in life; the good, the bad, the beautiful, and the ugly and still she endures. Debbie is on the road entertaining with her show much of the year, and believe me when I tell you, this is not easy. Yet, she does it because she loves it and that is what entertainers do... share their love. She is so supremely talented and gifted. But what I love most about her (besides her fantastic stories) is her incredible capacity to love.

I will admit I was slightly concerned that I would get on her nerves, after all, we've never lived together for a month. The adage goes that you don't know someone until you've lived with them and that is so true. By the last week, I was getting blue because I just loved seeing her beautiful little face every morning and I didn't want it to end. I had the best vacation.

I walked away from the house on the Lake with more love, more stories, and even more respect for this great woman whom I have come to love as I love my own mother and that's a lot of love.

So Debbie, if you see this, grab your turban, your little white fluffy prince and come on over to watch the sunset. I'll have the wine ready, and it will be a beautiful thing.

Oh, and thank you for the best vacation of my life, So far.

Love For Sure,
Cat

How Do You Eat An Elephant?

...One Bite At A Time



Now that the holidays are over we can all take a nice exhale, clean up the rest of our 2011 thoughts and actions, take an inventory of our lives and prepare for the New Year upon us.

It's time to get EXCITED about your life! It's time to change the things in our lives that need changing without the self-defeating fears. Perhaps it's time to let go of some things and run towards others. Maybe it's time for the new. Maybe you've lost your job and are now forced to put yourself out there for something new and even better, though that may be hard to imagine at this moment. This is where Faith comes in. "Faith, is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not yet seen (Hebrews 11:1)

I always say God drags us kicking and screaming into a better life than we could ever imagine for ourselves. This has certainly been true for me, or I wouldn't bother writing about it. There have been times things happened in my life that scared me, things I didn't want or necessarily like. As with most people, I didn't like change. By nature I'm a creature of habit. I was happy with the way things were. At least I thought I was until something better eventually came my way as a result of forced change. That something turned out to be worth waiting for and only happened because I finally learned to stop fighting what was happening and got in flow with what actually was. Fighting change is one of the major things that causes anxiety. When something takes struggling and yet nothing seems to happen, it might be a signal that we need to change our course. Don't know what that course is? Pray to know. This simple prayer actually works:"Dear God, I want to know what I want"

When people come to me for coaching they often tell me that they don't know what they want, they only know what they don't want in their life anymore. I call this "emptying the cup." While it's important to know what you don't want, it's more important to know what you do.

In order to bring the new in, you must get rid of the old. Its not all that different from curtailing your spending by promising that for each new thing you buy that will add bulk to your closet, you must first get rid of something so your closet doesn't become a cluttered mess.

Our lives also become cluttered messes because we don't empty our cups before filling them with more. Simplify. Simplify. Simplify. Get rid of the old and the useless. Make room for the new and the beautiful. Have a garage sale or better yet, sell the nicer things on ebay that you no longer use. Think no one will want it? Think again. One man's trash (or woman's) is another man's treasure.

Get your life streamlined. Empty the cup. Make room for the new and the new will come. This goes for cleaning out your "people" closet too. Anyone who makes you feel bad about yourself must go. To the people who don't support your dreams, buh-bye. People who use you or if it even feels like you're being used...POOF!
This is what I call cleaning your spiritual house. You don't have to be mean, simply Bless them and send them on their way.

If you want to know what your life is going to look like in five years, look at the people you surround yourself with. A scary thought for some, but trust me, there is no truer truth.

So as we enter 2012, take stock, take inventory of where you are and focus on where you want to be one year from now, taking it a day at a time. Let nothing or no one derail you. Get control of your emotions so they don't end up controlling you. Get on a spiritual program. Meditate daily before the world hurls anything at you. Take an extra ten minutes to start a prayer book you can write in every day. Make sure you not only ask for but also thank for what you receive. Track your progress this way and you will be amazed at the movement you, and God with you, create. Be grateful for everything, every day, and acknowledge it.

You can CHANGE your life.

December Inspirations

I love to people watch, and there is no better place to watch people than a convention. This week I was part of a convention in Las Vegas for entertainers and the people who hire them.

Yesterday I spent my break finding and introducing myself to other acts, especially the people who do what I do, because I am a people-person and I appreciate meeting others who have a passion for our art.

Imagine my surprise when I was only well received by one, yes, ONE other performer. The rest looked at me like I had three heads for stopping by their booth. Having learned over the years of evolving not to take things personally, I took the opportunity to study these moments as they were happening. I'm not even sure most of them even knew the negative vibrations they were giving off, or the facial expressions they made while trying to figure out why on Earth I would be introducing myself to the "competition." I use that word because that is exactly the energy I felt off of each person (except one) that I introduced myself to. That instead of seeing me a friendly person, they saw me as someone who threatened their livelihood.

Personally, I don't believe in competing with anyone but myself. I want to be the best me. The best performing me, the best personal me, the best lover me, the best wife me, the best sister me, and so on. I guess I could say, I am in the business of me, and in short, you are in the business of you. So how does this my sad convention tale apply to an inspiration? Here are my thoughts.

If we are going to look at life as a battle, struggle, or competition, then that is what life will become. And who wants that? In business, and in life, each of us brings something unique to the table. We are individual beings. We have our own personalities, our own uniqueness, and our own abilities to reach our highest potential, regardless of what others may say we are capable of or not capable of. We get to be just who we are without fear (if we choose) we get to control each thought, and how it will affect us by learning to manage our emotions. We can go as far as we are willing to work for and use our imaginations towards, without taking away a single thing from someone else, because they get to do exactly the same. It's a big world, full of people and opportunity, and thankfully, not everyone wants the same thing, which is why the world goes round every day. Thankfully we aren't all attracted to the same type, we all find different things interesting and/or attractive, and the good news is, it works that way in all aspects of life.

When we embrace our very own uniqueness, our very own special passion, our very own special gifts and talents, and lead our lives with the energy of love and gratitude, we never have to fear the "competition," and instead, create a community of lifting each other up while at the same time honing our personal power.

In reality, competition is an illusion. And when they don't serve us, illusions are made to be shattered.

Competition is a lack mentality, because the truth is.. (drum roll please..) there's enough for all of us! What a relief! All you have to do is just be you, and more importantly, be love. It's what we were built for, and being anything less is doing a disservice to your divine spirit of the human experience. Eliminate that spirit of "not enough" in your life. Do your work, mind your business, and be a cool person and you won't believe the magic that will happen in your world.

Merry Everything!
