The Money Game

I had a great walk with my good friend yesterday. We had a good chat about lots of things. I needed to catch up with her since it had been about 6 months that we had not connected due to out busy lifestyle.

On my way to the river to meet her, I had been pondering what is was like to living with my means when this thought came to me ," I accept the richness of being poor."

What did this mean? The richness I felt was how I was grateful for the many lessons I was being thought by Spirit about managing the money I have and be grateful for that.                                                                 

The Potluck Guy

I was invited to a potluck / barbeque this weekend and participated in a lengthy discussion on various spiritual topic. I found it interesting how people were interacting in the conversations. One guy talked about war, while the other guy was discussing the law of attraction. There was a physicist who was determined to make us believe his point of view on a subject. Very interesting energy.

Then I was approached by this young guy that asked what I meant about the comment I made which was," If you want to know where you are going in your life, just look at the friends you hand out with." He couldn't understand that by hanging around his friends that he would not get any farther then where they have been, or are going in their lives. If you listen to someone that is negative all the time, and you believe that there is no issues with that, then you will most likely adopt these beliefs as well and end up repeating them.

But what happened next was very good for me as I will explain later. He proceeded to tell me that he was separated from his girlfriend and the had a child, but we still friends. And did not know where to go with that because he felt that it was not going anywhere and why did he hang around with her at all. So I started asking him questions like, " Where do you see it going? What do you want out of this relationship/ friendship? Are you hanging on to the hope that she will eventually change her mind and take you back? Is this blocking you from moving forward in your own life?

He said that he wanted to be part of his child's life. As I pointed out that he can still be with is child but does she have to be in the picture all the time? Anyway, it got to a point that he was feeling some anger coming up. And I said to him, that this was a good thing because he was finally getting in touch with his emotions and that if he really wanted the answer to his questions, he needed to look at his anger. He then stood up and walked away. Which did not surprise me because males have a challenge looking at their emotions, because they probably have not been taught how to deal with them and it is too scary, so they stuff them inside again and again.

Then, two days ago, I went for coffee with a good friend of mine, that is a male but has done a ton of inner work on himself and understands the process of healing emotions. As we were talking, the conversation turned and he kept on telling me all the things I was doing wrong in my life from his perspective of course. As I could feel myself withdrawing slowly, by not responding to his words, I felt myself getting deeply frustrated and angry. I knew I had to get away from him so that I could figure out what the heck was triggering me.

I told him that I was heading home, he wanted me to go for a walk and I was not in the mood. So I gave him a short hug and got in my truck and drove off. I was in shock as to why I was feeling so angry and could not put my finger on it. Until I got home. I realized that I was being shown by my guides and Spirit that when I was talking to this young guy at the potluck, and he ended up getting angry from the questions I kept asking him, what was happening with my good friend was the exact same thing.

I got to experience what I was projecting on to that potluck guy. I immediately called my friend and apologized and said that I got the message from that teaching moment that we shared . It was to show me how I am using my words to ask questions with other people, that I should be asking myself to get to the cause of my own anger issues. I told him that I felt like he was only focusing on all the stuff that I do that is wrong and that he never focuses on the things I do right. I felt extremely criticized. 

He asked me who criticized me as a child. And I answered my mother. And I also told him that this is what I've been feeling with all my bosses lately. I feel they criticize everything I do. And it makes me feel like I'm not good enough at my jobs so I end up leaving all the time. So I', grateful today that I experienced that chat with that potluck guy because he might never know what gift of insight he gave me. And that's OK.  It has shifted my view on how I treat people when they are asking for help. It's about learning to communicate in a different way. Perhaps focus on what they are doing right, and help them to see how they might be able to improve it from there.

" Your perfect just the way you are, I wouldn't change you if I could." Ricky Skaggs

I listen to this song practically everyday. To remind me that Great Spirit has made me perfect just the way I am. I love hearing it sung to me. I was watching a program last night with an interview with Alanis Morrisette . I can so relate to her and how she says it made her uncomfortable having people watching her perform. I'm the same. I play music a little and I play on my own. I have an incredible talent that not many people know about. I've always believed that if I would have had music in my school when I was a kid, I would have taken of with it and made something with my music gift. 

The money was the issue in my childhood. Money has a way of stopping people to do a lot of things. Imagine what we would do if money was not in the picture. What if money had no say in the matter. If we just gave everything. Everything was free to have. I could go into this store and say, I want that piano or guitar. Or I want to drive this car this week and this truck next week and totally respecting and being responsible beings. And I want to travel to this place and stay there for a whole month and it was free to eat and play and have the most fun ever. How fun would the world be? Music everywhere you went. That's a world I want.

I think money stops us from being happy. It makes up stories in our minds that we end up believing about ourselves that's really not true at all. It sets a standard of truth that stops ours spirit to take flight and be set free. Our level of love for each other without money would reach beyond ourselves, because the first thoughts that would come up would not be those of, " I wonder how much money she/he has?

Jealousy for each other is another energy that money carries around it. It creates huge wars. People believe they have the right to take another persons life because they are jealous of something they have. Money has creates massive issues on this planet. It's causes environments issues, political issues, food issues, drug issues, even to the point that we use money to try to find another planet like us out there, hoping that we can get to it.  Believe me , there are no other planets like the landfilled infested, chemically plagued planet that we have created for the humans that live here.

Money is the cause of the everything that we have created and destroyed on this planet. It's a damn shame. And the kids are the ones that are going to have to clean up this mess, if we survive this one. It will take something really massive and big to get people to realize where we stand right now. People are in huge denial. And we are all perfect just the way we are.

Shifting hate into love

I will be starting a second part-time job in a week or so. I have never had to do two jobs in order to provide for my needs. The place I work now is packed at lunch time. The line up is continuous for two hours. They are making great money. I get paid eleven dollars an hour for my hard work which I love to do. I excel in the kitchen. For the money they are making everyday, I would not trade my time for it. I realized this today. If I had a choice to take their place of working 7 days a week for a whole year without time off  instead of working for eleven dollars an hour and get to do something in nature each week, I'd choose nature.


It looks like we are needing to experience deep poverty and extreme riches in order to learn the profound lessons. It seems that the only alternative to getting out of poverty victim roles is to work your behind off and if your lucky enough you may enjoy one or two weeks a year for fun. What has happened to the people of this planet that we value dollar amounts more then we value the integrity of a human being? If I was paid for my integrity, I'd be worth millions.


I question myself as to why I'm in this job. What is it that I am meant to learn from working for a boss that is extremely picky, has no tolerance for mistakes and judges the performance of a new employee in one day? Perhaps I'm the one that is picky in areas of my life, or that I have no tolerance for mistakes, and I judge the performance of people in my life. Maybe I am being mirrored back what it is I need to look at. I have been aware lately that I seem to focus on self hating. Like I'm noticing that I'll project thoughts that frustrate me and I ends up in a hate energy. Like I hate having to work for so little pay or I hate that people litter on the ground still ( it baffles me still that people chose not to respect the planet we live on it's like we have all decided that the Earth is a giant landfill site for our emotional trash) Oh just got a great idea. ..I could go on but I will shift the hate into thoughts of love. I have to remember to love everything all the time. And it is very challenging to do.


So many people live in jobs that they hate. They hate the boss, the workers they work with, the work they have to do, the time they have to spend away from their family to provide them food , shelter and clothing. It's a love/hate relationship that never seems to end. I feel that it has a lot to do with self hate. I have to start there and turn the self hate talk, into self-love talk. I know deep in my heart I feel love for everything, and it saddens me when I get into this hate place. I don't feel like myself. But it comes up so that I can work on what is causing this emotion to fester.


So this new idea is a great project to help pass the winter time. I should have started this spring, since it involves outdoor activity. I'd better get cracking. Once I have it completed, I will share it with the world. This is what happens when I share my feelings out loud. I get to the core of inspiration that linger deep inside me. I will also have to manifest the money for it.

Can Tide take out Debt stains?

" Our circumstances do not define us. We can achieve anything we put our minds to." Gail Von-Oxlade

Here is an update on my progress. I have been working at my new job now for a few weeks. Apparently full time hours today is 30 hours a week. At $11.00 an hour, it won't cover all my bills at the end of the month, so I had no choice but to get a second part-time temporary job so I can survive.

It sure feels like the people with money have a hard time understanding that the people who live in poverty are struggling and they don't seem to care about our survival. It seems to me that the only thing that matters is that they survive. My new boss is much younger then me and she keeps saying that she is going to treat us very well. But I think that she is bluffing just because she doesn't want to go anywhere, because I'm such a great worker and loyal.

My first paycheck I noticed that she never deducted any federal taxes. I will wait to see what she does with my next paycheck. She told me that before she decided to buy this franchise that she was an accountant for a company for over 15 years. So she must know what she is doing. I did check on our government's website and there is a law that if the employer decides to have employees as share holders, we don't have to pay taxes. This is new to me.

This is new to me, I know of another company that does this also. She had to work for a fast food company for a year and a half before she could get into franchising and says she knows what it's like to live on minimum wage. We'll see what happens. Right now I like the hours and don't mind the workload.

The other job is a temporary position and I could be hired after the store is opened. But that means I might have to work 6 to 7 days a week. I'm not sure how I can handle it physically. I have managed to catch up on my credit card so I don't get to lose the privilege of using it later and my cell phone is also caught up. I want to keep moving forward and started hedging some money again which feels good.

My sister keeps asking me to find a Debtor's anonymous meeting, but I have been  to these groups and they don't allow any teachings from outside sources which keeps the group in a box and they don't grow, they recycle the same stuff over again. Telling your story over and over keeps you in  victim mode. You have to let go of the story of the past and make a new story.

I have to pay off my course in November. So this second job will help out.  My friend is going to India next month. He got his trip paid by a friend. I would much rather spend my time in a cabin in the woods my a lake for a month then go to India, but to each his own.

It saddens me that I have no money to go on a vacation somewhere. I've never been on a vacation anywhere. I don't like to travel alone and I have no one to travel with that has the time or the money. so I take short trips close to home. Tomorrow I'm heading south of my city to a little farm that is a nice quite place to go.

May My Money be Balanced and Healthy

" What we must decide is perhaps how we are valuable rather than how valuable we are." Edgar Z. Friedenberg






I had sent a letter to my mom asking her if she could send me some money to help me cover my rent next month. Also letting her know that if she couldn't, I would understand and find another way. I got a check yesterday to cover my rent but with a note asking me to pack my bags and move back home. I would be insane to do that.

The only reason she wants me to come and live with her for free is to take care of her. Who's going to take care of me when I'm her age? Not her. That the old folks way of thinking down home. They believe that if they leave you anything after they are gone, that you have to earn the reward by sacrificing your life for theirs. They have old folks homes for that.

It has been a bit tough for me to save money to fly home because I have to save at least $2500 to cover my flight, meals, all my bills covered, plus one weeks wages. They would prefer I go home every year, if it was possible for me. So much for what I want to do with my money. I haven't been home in five years because I don't miss the gossip and constant complaining that everyone talks about on a daily bases. It get's very depressing.

It sure makes me want to save my money to do something for myself. I have never been anywhere on a real vacation. Just because I don't like going places by myself.  I've been considering getting a new vehicle. If my job that I'm at right now, turns out well, and I start making $13 to $14 an hour in a few weeks, I may consider getting selling my truck. I have been reading in my book about what a fool archetype does and I have to stay on top of these patterns, because they will keep destroying me financially.

"The Fool also set's out to conquer the world but is easily distracted and lacks the discipline of the Warrior. The Fool is much more interested in making as a sport or form of recreation than a serious endeavor. Fools would happily give the shirt off their backs only to realize later that it was their last one." The Fool archetype tries to control my money while the Victim finds the reasons for me to spend money in order to make me feel better about myself.


" Capitalism and it's underlying drive toward consumerism greatly influences the financial infrastructure of our lives and how we deal with money. Perhaps our need for money is as much about sustaining our way of life and the survival of capitalism as it is about feeding our own unconscious needs and desires."

Mind your own business

" Wealth is measured in time and Rich is measured in money" Robert Kiyosaki




I made a good choice taking the restaurant job over the bus driving job. My new boss is so good. We opened on Thursday of this week and our sales were so great that we ranked 3 place in all the takeout places in Canada. With only 5 people in staff and two owners. The head office is so impressed that they are thinking of making our store the head training place for other owners. That is very cool.

My boss said to us yesterday that we will be getting more wages and she is looking into benefits for us as well. Sometimes it pays to do something you love, for less money, then to do something you hate for more money and end up leaving in the end. We are always told what a great job we are doing, I'm almost tired of hearing it. That's a first.

So, finally I'm in a job that I love to do. I excel in the kitchen area. I love it when the work load if not extreme, like some places I've worked that you can't seem to catch up. This is great because we have 4 items on the menu and that's it. But the line up at noon says it all. All we need to get now is a few more employees. I can now make a list of what needs to be paid first and then begin to save money again. I'm still planning to sell my vehicle for something that is less pricy on gas.

What a difference from a few weeks ago, when I was not sure how I was going to my rent. I have some money, about $80 and a friend actually owes me $60 for helping him paint. I should be getting a check from work today or tomorrow. I'm not rich yet, but it is getting better. It's all about finding a place of feeling relief.

Robert Kiyosaki says in 1971 the rules of the money game changed. when president Nixon took us off the gold standards, and second in 1974 when 401k. The 401K now meant that you no longer had a paycheck for life. Which meant, the job you work in was no longer your retirement plan.

The rules prior to 1974 were ,

1- Go to school, get a safe and secure job.

2- The second was work hard to earn more money.

3- Save money. 

4- Buy a house

5- Get out of debt

6- Invest for the long term

7- Diversify

Those are the old rules and there are still people stuck into those old rules. But there are new rules.

Lets take the word "School" Before 1974 you could go to school and get a job. But today after 1971 and 1974, people need to know that you need more education then the school system is willing to provide. We learn to read, write and do math. These are important yes. Then you get to decide what you will be after school, a lawyer, doctor, teacher , etc. The one thing that the school systems do not provide is a financial education. The lack in the knowledge of how important it is to teach money management to kids.

All the teacher teach to kids are the old rules of money, therefore repeating the same patterns again and again. That is inadequate financial education in todays society. I'm learning more about money outside the school system the I ever learned in school. If I was taught what I know today about money in school, my future would have been very different. I have increased my Financial IQ.

This is why there are so many people in trouble. There are four basic people in the world. There are employees, self-employees, there's big business and there's an investor.  The real reason people get into financial trouble is that they get a job as an employee or a specialist, example a doctor or carpenter. This is what our school system currently train people to be. It is no wonder that employees pay the highest percentage of taxes. Second are the specialist, the doctors, lawyers etc.

The big business and investors pay the least or no taxes. The rich people train people to learn the business side of the equation. How to learn to do the business and if your under a strong support system, you have no choice but to succeed if you do the work needed. You don't have to quit your job to get on board on the other side. Money doesn't make you rich or poor, it's your education about money that decides if your rich or poor.

Living within my means

I started working in a new takeout place, which opens this Thursday. I am really good at attracting job, that is a no brainer for me. The problem is the types of jobs I seem to attract , pay little in wages. I'm now at $11 an hour, with maybe 30 hours a week. Now I have to figure out how I'm going to pay my rent, insurance, cell phone and credit card bills. I have gather two part-time cleaning jobs and a temporary painting job also. So I have to see how I'm going to use that money to pay what is due at the end of this month.

A lot of people I know are all living within their means, and some below there means for that matter. In a world that has tons of money. It is so sad that families and individuals, like me, have to struggle to make ends meet all the time. I have decided to sell my truck. I have no choice at this time. It is too expensive on fuel. When I first bought it ten years ago, the gas was affordable for me, not anymore. The oil companies are not laughing anymore, because as the prices of gas goes up, the big Tonka Ford and GMC dealers are starting to get a hint because they hare struggling to sell the gas guzzlers they keep producing. Nobody wants to pay that much in gas anymore.

My alternative is to drive a vehicle that is a lot cheaper on gas. Once I can get ahead a bit financial, my 4x4 is going up for sale. I have a saying in front of my computer that says" A part of all I earn is mine to keep" Which has been a challenging keeping. " The advertising and media industries have convinced us that we are nothing without money and material possessions. We are at the grip of a national and global obsession. We have been brain washed  into believing that the material possessions are what we're suppose to want, that fulfillment comes from what we have rather than how we live, and feel. At a time when we are running out of land to build more shopping malls, televisions, and the internet have created virtual shopping malls that allows us to shop twenty-four hours a day-----all to fill a void that we deeply feel but fail to understand. Meanwhile, the billions of dollars we spend exploiting mass addiction for buying things we don't really need could be used to save the Earth as it teeters on the edge of disaster." 

When are we going to wake up? When is enough going to be enough? What are the kids of the future going to do with the all the crap we have left behind? Here I am buying the bear essentials to survive while millions shop till they drop and with that more then likely getting deeper into debt. Our school system is a joke. They won't teach kids how to manage money which should be part of the daily curriculum. It's a damn shame that I was never taught how important it is to learn this survival tool.

And we wonder why so many kids these days are not doing well in there lives. It's because we equate money to our self worth. If we have no money, our belief system figures out that we are not worth much. Because our society main focus is, if you have lots of money, you are somebody. How many people do you see in the world that have hardly any money that do great things and are recognized for that? Not very many. So our belief is that the more money we have, the more we are valued in the world.

It all comes down to , do I matter and how much money do I need in order to feel that I matter?

Today I have enough money. Just for today, I have money to buy food and gas to get to work. I am grateful for the money I do have. Because today is all there is. Tomorrow, I could be a millionaire, but for today, I have enough.

And so it is.

The Table has Turned

Went to my training today, thought everything was going well. Got home and got a call from the business I thought I was going to work for, told me that they didn't think I was a fit for their company. I knew right away just by looking at the people working there, that I got let go because I was not in their age bracket.

You know. if your going to let me go in the first place, why the heck put me through two days of training, without pay, just to call me after and say, your not a fit for our company when you knew damn well I was not a fit in the first place. Just goes to show you, that there are companies out there that will look after certain people. If your not a fit, your out.

So here I stand today, with two job offers, thankfully, one pays $10.50 an hour to train for three weeks and the other business is a taco time restaurant that has not opened the doors yet. I have $70 to my name at the moment. not very proud of that. But I have a few options that I can look at.

I have decided that I will have to take the insurance off my vehicle and start taking the transit, which will be most interesting since I have not done that in 17 years. I'm not looking forward to the long trek to work and back. But I have no other choice. I did find out about a programs that can assist me with my rent. So I'm waiting on that.

I also got a call about another program that I could apply for in government funding of grants that would assist me to start my own business. And I do have an idea that just might work. But I need $589 to assess the list of grants I can apply for quick assistance. Plus I also am taking the Landmark Program in Nov which I cannot wait to take.

So I think what I have to get started in writing down the business plan, so that I have a general idea of what it's about , how it works, and what the benefits are. It would get my mind off the things that are happening financially. And who knows, it may become the stepping stone to helping a lot of people who are in the same boat that I'm in at the moment. My mission is to help people in poverty move up to comfortability. Without costing them an arm and a leg like some people charge. Doesn't it seem ridiculous wanting to help people in poverty when I'm there myself right now? But you can't just me by how much money I have. Unfortunately, that's what the majority does.

I know I have lots of skills, talents and tools I can use to help a lot of people. And I might aim towards a women's program to start, and then have a men program later on if it takes off. By listening to the company that was training for the two days, I got an sense of what they were about and how they are helping people, but what they charge is pretty much aimed at the higher financial bracket income earners which leaves the rest of us in the dumps, so to speak. They don't help people, they help themselves.

There is always something to learn when I get let go of a position. I think it's high time I get my act together and  start something myself and see where it takes me. What do I have to loose? Really.

Getting into the flow

" It is no wonder that we suffer such low self-esteem. Our "balance sheet" ( financially speaking), if we are brave enough to examine it, often looks bleak. Meanwhile, we feel continually pressed to answer questions like," What do you have to show doe your life?" " What does your financial picture look like?" What are you doing to secure your financial future?" These are not questions that most of us really want to address."

There is a tremendous amount of shame and guilt that comes with these questions. But if we are strong enough to sit with them one by one, we realize that the power that is sucking the life out of is not the words that we read, it is the courage we lack in ourselves to muster enough to sit and look ate where we are in life. I truly believe that it is important to pay attention to which books we are reading.

I have been an avid reader for the past four years maybe a bit more, on how to fix my financial patterns and limiting beliefs. and I have to say it have influenced what I attract in my life. I have no problems believing in the faith I have to attracting jobs, but it's not what I want , I want a career. So lol you're gonna love this part. With all the reading I've been doing and still am doing on learning the philosophy of money, I have managed to attract a job that is providing me with free training to become a Credit Specialist. It is the highest paying job I have had so far.

I still have it in my heart to pursue a career in Money Coaching once I get the money for that course. But in the meantime, I am learning for free how the credit system works and how to find the right support to help you with the financial difficulties you are facing. There is hope for me yet.

This month I have to manifest money for my rent and my vehicle insurance. My secured credit is at it's end, I have not been able to make enough money to make my payment, which is affecting my credit score, and will probably loose the privileges of using my card. But I'm not going to fret about that. My credit score is low now. I can now work with the company I work for and fix it completely.

So for you out there that tend to want to give up and forget about what you want in life, I pray that you find the courage to pick up that book that you want to manifest in your life and start reading about your dream. If you want to experience driving a speed boat, find books on the subject  if you can't afford to rent a boat. If you want to become a millionaire, read book of people that are millionaires.

We are all here to achieve our dreams. We have not been put on this planet to destroy each other. That energy is of a lower vibration and deeply miss informed about the purpose of life itself. Life means L  Live

Money Footprints

" So many of us were wounded in our primary relationships that we developed great blocks to prevent us from ever being vulnerable again"

Well today, I wake up and read a few pages in my new book about the money archetypes an read the part I typed above. It made me realize how deep these wounds I carry, still affect my life today. I'm considering selling my vehicle so that I can pay off some bills. And something inside me says to wait.

" Spiritual transformation for the Victim archetypes comes when they are able to see how their past experiences can be a powerful tool and catalyst for change. When the victim travels inward and heals the wounds of the past, they are able to move fully into life. "

I sat in my pyramid this morning while reading my book, and when I read about the blocks we have created in us due to past experiences, I sat and allowed the tears to flow as I knew I was connecting to something deep within me. As I look at the questions that this book is asking me to do, I wonder how it can help clear the blocks I created around feeling vulnerable.

So I will start with the first question it ask. If I want to live in prosperity, I must clear the blocks that stop me from attracting money to me. Because if I am holding onto these blocks I have created, until I look at and let go of, I will never have the future I deserve. so here is goes.

What is your earliest memory of money? My earliest memory of money is when I was about three years old, my birth father would come to the door of the house I live at, I was adopted, and he would give my adopted mom money which was saved in the bank for the future. Sometimes it was $20, $50 and once I remember him giving my mom $100. But I never got to spend any of this money that was so called "mine". It had to go into the bank. The other memory was every birthdays that I got money also went into the bank, Hmmm I can see now why I recent the banks.

How old were you at the time?  It started around age 3 and lasted till I was 18 years old. That's when the money I had saved up was given to my birth mother to help her finish the house that I ended moving into with her till I was 38. Which was off and on between boyfriends.

What was the experience like? I felt angry most of the time, angry that I did not get to make any decisions with the money that I was suppose to have. I felt like I had no control over this money. Ah!!! Hmmmm ( I never saw it this way before) In the book she says" Victims often fear of being betrayed" That's what my adopted mom did, I felt so betrayed when she asked me to give away my money to someone else. She was nice enough to ask me first, but manipulated me into believing that it was the right thing to do with my money. I was too angry to care about the money at that point. ( Wow, I had no idea I was full of anger around this topic around money which explains why I get so frustrated when I have none)

How did that experience affect you? I believe as I grew up I decided that I did not care about money and that money was not important for me to have. (OUCH that one hurt lol ) But I can see where that is coming from and how I still hold on to this belief and pattern today.

I know I've looked at these things before, but this time it seems to be sinking in a lot deeper. I can feel it in my stomach. It's all based around the emotional attachments I have around money. It's like if I don't have money in my life, then I don't have to deal with the emotions that go with it. Too much money would bring up too much emotions. Crap, I would so love to get a group of people going to get the vocabulary of money on the table to allow people to heal their money issues. Maybe I can just start one and see where it would go.  

If my energy around money is covered in footprints of anger and betrayal, no wonder attracting prosperity into my life is so challenging.

From Fool to Victim to Magician

Well I finally got my book that I ordered online to help me figure our what money archetype I am, and it is so dead on that it's scary. I work with the victim archetype and my shadow if the fool. So now I know what is the driving force behind my mismanagement with my money.I can finally shift it to the magician type which is the positive archetype.

I've definitely have become a workaholic and when I'm not working, it drives me bonkers. Because one, I don't know what to do with my time, and two I don't have money to do anything with my time. It is a scary place for me to be. I'm not even sure how I am going to manage how to pay my rent at the end of this month. I got a full time job today, and I'm considering getting a very part time job on the side so I can play catch up with my bills

I have been very carful where I am spending my money in the past few days. In this book it says that I need to be in money recess.  The book says I easily attract money easily, only to have it quickly slip through his fingers because he is simply not paying attention. Because of this nook now I can finally address these patterns and turn them around. Because if I don't, they will keep getting worse and worse.

I have never been in this position before. It is both scary and humbling at the same time. I sit with my thoughts of " How am I going to get out of this mess that I have created?" it is sure giving me a huge wake up call. My friend is a magician type archetype which is the one that you want to learn to be, and she manages her money a lot better than I do, but still has a shadow archetype that she is going to learn how to clear the pattern.

My other archetype is the victim. These are patterns that I have learned from my parents behaviors. Victims often appear to be innocent and have a litany of excuses for why they are not more successful. It can be a unending spiral.  As I was reading the book, I had to stop at some places to absorb the new way of seeing myself. It was a good thing for me to experience, because I want to change the way I look at how I manage my money, so that it can support my life and dreams.

So now I completely understand why I'm not attracting what I'm putting out there, because you are what you attract. So I have to change into the characteristics of the magician and begin to move forward towards success and freedom. So what I do is read the description of the magician archetype two to three times a day, so that my mind can start to program these beliefs in my head. I think I will also write them out as well, because that is even more powerful, because it connects at a deeper level.

"Time" vs Time

"The things that are easy to do are also the things that are not easy to do"

I'm looking for another job. I wish for once in my life I could find work that feeds my spirit. Something that I can't wait to get up to do, and could work all night doing it and never get tired. What could that be? I love being in nature but that doesn't pay the bills. I came across an idea last night just before I fell asleep that I might look into. You know how it is, if you let others know about your idea, they will take it and run with it if it's a good one.. So I will keep this to myself until I have manifested it.

It is easy enough to do, I just need the money to get it going. It is not so easy to get it done. But I can figure it out, I am Miss MacGyver lol. I also have another idea that I must look at also, that relates to the first one. Are you frustrated that I'm not sharing my ideas? Well you'll probably be the first to know once I can get these going. I have to find out the cost of each item and then produce enough so that I can order more. Maybe even make a website so people can order then online as well. Hmmm

It's easy to think of ideas, God knows how many I've had over the years, but I never pursue doing them, because it's not easy to get the ball rolling, so to speak. I think , though , that once I would get it going, I might just have something that could change the way we think about time. Perhaps that's why I keep holding on to this idea, because I'm not sure if people are ready to look at time differently.

When I think of how much "time" has detached us from being present in life, we may just need a new way of looking at time in order to help with the lifting of the planet's consciousness. Hmmm, never looked at it that way before. This is probably why I'm blogging about is, so that I can look at my thoughts. What if we were given a tool to do that with? I'd better get this idea out there, before someone else gets it.:)

I shared my idea with one close friend and she thought it was a great idea and she would purchase one once I had them done. So be it. I'm on it. My creativity has begun. Looking at the way I write today, you wouldn't think I was this little Nova Scotia girl that lived in back of the woods, with the trees, the bears, the birds, the rivers etc. I've come along way

Not sure where the money is going to come from to do this, I'm out of work at the moment and working on find a job, it is out there, I just have to attract it to me. So I am asking for a position that pays me more money then I can imaging spending, so that I can give away 90% of it and still have lots left to feel financially free......

You can't take it with you but you can leave it behind to do good

The past few days I have been grieving the loss of a long time friend. He had been in my life for the past 15 years but I had known him since my 20's. So I have not felt like writing. But I'm ok now.

I have since discovered a few things about money. I was invited to this free talk that was regarding having a conversation about money. Finally, a group that I could perhaps join and start the allowing the secrets of money out. But it turned out to be something else. He was marketing his business in the profession that he chose which was Money Coach. That peaked my interest.

I found a few books on this topic that I found very interesting. He talked about the different archetypes that can sabotage how we choose to view money but also how we can change it. He offered us a discount for his services, which I'm seriously considering. I would go for four sessions with him. He said it would totally change my way of thinking about how I handle my money in the future.

He takes you step by step through four sessions to get to the root cause of the patterns that we create in our lives that causes us to disrespect money. I'm excited because I have found two books in this subject that I cannot wait to read and discuss on my blog.  The book I'm reading now is called Conversations with Millionaires. It teaches me how they view money and the philosophy behind out thinking.

He talks to the man that mentored Tony Robbins, We all know who he is and how far he has come. One question that he ask people is " What is your current philosophy for financial independence that you're working on?" and usually people respond," Gosh, I never thought of that." He also says," Unless you have an excellent financial philosophy that gives you guidance to correct errors, accept some new disciplines, and make some changes, you can forget being financially independent."

Hard pill to swallow eh!  But it's true. How many people want to become financial free? Pretty much everybody. But how many are doing something about it? Not enough people if you ask me. If everyone had enough money to feel ok, and that number is smaller than you think, so many would be in a new place to want to help others do the same. The greedy people become greedier and the those that want to help others succeed will do so.

So it comes down to you. You are the only one that can make the decision to be better in your life. And life is shorter to short to sit and ponder on how can I get financially free, you have to take action.  

To be or not to be

"The most dangerous risk of all, the risk of spending your life not doing what you want on the bet you can buy yourself the freedom to do it later"

From what I'm observing so far, which I find interesting, is that it seems that the people with lots of money are the people who will be doing well in this business. The ones that struggle, working hard to getting this business going are left on the wayside to start on their own. It seems wealthy people attract wealthy people to them automatically. While people who struggle attract people who struggle. You'll never see a wealthy person put themselves under someone who struggles will you?

When I get the finances from this business going in a big way , oh and I will, it's just a matter of time, my team will not go through what I have been going through. I have a Pay it Forward idea that will explode my business, because I will support my team financially as well. It's not about the money, it's about helping people achieve their dreams and knowing we can all be happy and wealthy at the same time.

So what does that mean for the rest of  us that are trying hard to make it happen? Are we not deserving enough to have the support we all need to get this going to the level they are reaching or are we attracting what we are thinking? It's a well known fact that people follow successful people so they too can become successful also. But if you don't put out to the level they expect you to, it seems your not part of the energy anymore.

The ones that are struggling to make it, will have to get together themselves and support each other, by motivating and teaching each other ways to improve their skills. So many people out there believe that they don't have money to save which is such a lie. They have no problem going to shop because they are bored and spend hundreds of dollars on stuff. They have houses full of things they don't use, and they say they have no money to save. Poppy cock I say...

It's like the saying," Damned if I do and damned if I don't" scenario. They are afraid to embark with something new because they have no clue what it's about and they talk bad about something they have no clue about and on and on...  So ya ok, I get it, it's the people you know, that will help you succeed. Well, my list is short, so I guess that says a lot. It leaves me no choice but to use the outreach program to try and meet people. Do what it takes for as long as it takes.

PS. I think this still has to do with the belief I'm still carrying that I don't deserve to have money. Therefore , I'm still putting that out there. This comes from my child hood still, when I would see my parents give money to my older siblings when they asked for money, but when I would ask I was said " no" So perhaps I need to still do some work on that belief.

l

" START THE CAR!!!!!!! START THE CAR !!!!!!!

I don't understand what people are so afraid of. They stay at jobs that they are not sure if they will be there tomorrow and still are afraid to do something different. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting it to be different. It's not.

The reason we stay in dead end jobs is because our "why's" are not big enough to motivate us into doing something different. What's great about this business is that your able to go out there and make money building other people's business.

In other words, we make money in this business by helping other people achieve levels of success. Do you see your boss do this? Your compensated greatly if you help other people achieve lots of success, compensated a little if you help a few.

The more we help other people, the more it helps us and that's the way this business works. What's exciting about it is that is gives a whole new meaning to life. It's an environment where the people you work with, not for, are people that have the desire to have more then they've got. They sacrifice short term to help others get where they want to go.

" The single greatest cause of failure, is the failure to start."


So it begins worth each and everyone of us. We have to believe in ourselves enough to get out and reach others that can benefit from this business. When I teach my business to others, I start with the question , What are your "why's". Why do you want to be financially free? Not ," Why do you want lots of money? That doesn't motivate me. Lots of people make lots of money and are not happy at all. Because there is no dreams to the why's. You need a dream, everyone has a dream.


It doesn't matter to me if you choose not to join my business. I honestly don't care. If I have pushed you with the desire to pursue a business in any shape or form, I will have achieved my goal of helping someone making a better life for themselves. That's what's it about. It's not about the money you make in a business, it's about helping one another achieve our dreams.


Lots of people are struggling, are tired of living the way they live, and can't seem to see a light at the end of the tunnel. They give up. The life they dreamed of no longer seems possible. But they also sit and do nothing to move the energy in that direction. When you own a business, you constantly have to move the energy to make it work. Success loves speed. If you show the Universe that you are wanting it to happen, the universe will respond. Every time, all the time.


In order to make it happen , we have to take the first step towards action. Even though that tenth step is out of sight  and could be the one step that helps us leap into our greatest and highest potential. Why do so many people choose not to start the first steps? Because they are afraid of success and the responsibility that comes with that success. That is the biggest block for many people.


What if people say no? So what, You move on to the next. It's that simple.
Once they see how successful you are at your business after seeing you struggle all your life, they will begin to ask questions like" What in the world is going on with you?" And " I want what you have." That's why I like to hang around successful people. Everyone can be successful with the right coaching. I believe everyone is teachable if they are willing to be open minded, willing to be directed. It's all here for us all. Life is suppose to be fun.


So here's to all the fun that is waiting for all of us that are willing to do the work needed to achieve the greatest success we all deserve to have.

The Victim and the Turtle

New day, I decided not to send the card and letter to my sister. I spoke to my older sister and older brother about how I felt and we all agreed that she may be bi-polar and not realize it. Once I realized that this might be the case with her, I figure that sending her this letter would only upset her even more. And that is not what I want for her. I would prefer her to have peace. Which might never happen in her life. But miracles can happen.

She has become a great teacher for me. I would have normally sent her a letter letting her know how I feel about the phone call. Thank God I got ahold of my ego, because it always wants to be right. I had gone to a full moon meditation the night before and decided I would visualize her healthy and happy instead. My brother did tell me that she had responded to his letter by sending him a letter that he told us was not a letter that anyone would have wanted to read. Hurt people, hurt people. OMG I have this book. I should did it out and read it.

My little sister has had a challenging life. Was rejected by her mom and dad when they were drinking. She told my brother that when she was little, she would go into her room and cry while my parents were drinking. I could see mom send her away so that she would not see them drink. The affects of alcoholism goes much deeper then just the alcohol itself. I can understand her anger and bitterness when I see her point of view on life. To her , life is all about pain and suffering.

My job is to love her without hurting her any more then she is hurting at this time. I often wonder if she was better off in life if that would make a difference, but I assume not unless she decides to change the way she see things in life. It's was interesting when my brother said that they had invited her to their home for Christmas and she snuck out without them knowing or even saying bye. I told my brother that it was probably hard for her to see how well he has done n his life and the lifestyle they live. They have a very nice home that my brother and his wife worked hard for. My sister is not capable of being grateful at the moment except when it come to her own kids.

I was planning a trip back home to see my family this summer, but I'm slowly starting to change my mind about going. I haven't seen my little sister in over 10 years, not because I don't want to see her, she comes up with excuse after excuse that she is not available. So I let it go until the next time. It is the first time ever that I have felt the hurt of my own sister not loving me for who I am. That is a hard one for me since I love each and everyone in my family as equal. We are all living our own lives the best we know how.

I happen to pick up a book I read a few months back, and the other yesterday I randomly opened it to a page, and with a smile on my face as I began reading this paragraph," Those whose inner disturbances are easily triggered and intense are said  to be on a " short fuse". We try to avoid such people as much as possible  so as not to become the  target of their blame. They always have a good reason for their chronic suffering, and they tend to be very righteous about their victim position. "

So I will continue to learn my lesson to not react from her suffering and look at what are the things that is triggers in me that I have to work on. The meditation I did helped me to see a few things I need to look at so I will talk about that next time.

Thank you Spirit for showing me the energy of the turtle medicine so that I can slow down my thoughts and see what is really happening with my sister. Thank you for these words of comfort when I need them most.

Following my inner guidance

Well I had a interesting turnaround last night. My plan was to join this company and hopefully make money enough so I could quit my full time job eventually, but things changed last night.

I had decided to get a friend involved to see if she would be interested in what I was looking into. So I made plans to meet with her and I invited my new friend to come along and show her what he showed me. By the middle of the presentation, I could see that my friend was getting irritated with the idea that she had to listen to this speech that he was giving her and she wanted to know what it was this was about. Cut to the chase, so to speak.

He said to her that he was helping me train because I was joining their company. I have since changed my mind after last night, because I got more insight as to what was involved and what I was really presenting to people to buy. Which is selling insurance. 

My friend who we were introducing this to gave me something to think about. She is smarted then I thought. What I got was that the person presenting the information follows a script in a book style presentation. They don't look in the person's eyes much so it is a feeling of disconnection right from the beginning.

The  people they present the information to, doesn't feel connected to the individual presenting. I was so interesting to be an observer of what was happening between the two of them. They started to become defensive, she wanted him to stop and he was determined to finish what he had started even thought he knew she would not be interested anyway. I came back with the knowledge of how I could approach my other business that I would like to work on most.

I think what I'll do is wait a few weeks and tell her that I really valued her opinion that day that helped me with my decision on if I should join this business. So I would like her to come and check out another business that I need her opinion on so that I can get a different perspective on it.

I want to be part of something, and I want support in whatever I get involved in also. Be part of a team. My other friend Julia, who has me involved in the business I want to work on, seems to not want to give up on me for some reason. I think she believes in me more then I do for myself. It's work in progress.

I'm interested in a book I must find called The Soul of Money. It has been mentioned to me a few time now, so I must need to read it. On top of all the other books I have that I want to read. LOL

Oh ya , almost forgot. I am going to this new talk on Thursday evening called, Money Connection which they will openly discuss the issues around money. We will discover our money archetypes. Looking forward to what that is about so I can blog about it.

JOB = Just Over Broke

I went to a gathering last night with my friends that are all well off financially. They have worries about money I'm sure, but much different then mine. Mine are more like, am I going to have enough money to buy food and gas for the week?  I feel like an outsider sometimes being there with them.  I work in a job ( Just Over Broke) so that I can manage to pay my bills while they go out traveling the world.

There is a huge silent stigma around people who don't have money being looked at as stupid. It's a silent stigma that I think people are too ashamed to talk about. If you are not in a great financial position at that stage in your life, the question they are asking themselves, is " What is wrong with you?" Why haven't you made your life work by now? But there is no support in the " Stupid Financial World " that helps people like me the Just Over Broke generation.

Most people who have a lot of money, look at people who are just over broke, very differently. It's like we are silently shamed for not being able to get our "act together" to provide for our own needs. We are a society that lacks in the mental education around finances. And I am part of this collective consciousness.

So, what am I going to do about it? Well, it seems that the universe has put in my path an opportunity to learn about the financial world through a program that will help me to provide education for the under-developed financial world. The Just Over Broke Generation. I will have a lot of support through this company. I can feel it.

I'm not going to go into great detail on it at this time. I have a lot of homework to do and a test that I need to pass in order to become a leader in the financial greatness of eliminating poverty consciousness.  Along with this, is the great lesson of believing in myself and overcoming self-doubt issues.

The business platforms of today will only provide a base to help people survive. That's it. Nothing more. If your like me, you end up in dead end jobs that don't provide hope for a stable financial future. You will never get a raise, you live from paycheck to paycheck never seeing the end of debt. You have accumulated material crap to help you feed your inner hunger for life never leaving your house and you become withdrawn to life because you feel like "what's the use."

Well I always have hope, and I get inspired when times get tough.  I may not have a lot of money, but what I do have is a lot of skills, determination, perseverance, courage and loyalty...and no amount of money can buy these qualities.

I'm glad I decided to blog today. Something seems to have lite me up from the inside by writing this one out. I have an idea about a foundation I can create with this new perspective on money....

Enfussion

I was out with a friend yesterday and asked for her thoughts on my experience with my sister. She sis she has a brother who acts the same way. Drama queen city. They are stuck in their drama. But actually they are addicted to the drama. If there is no drama in their world they create it. This provides them the attention they are seeking and craving for. It works the same as a drug, except it is a emotional high the get from creating chaos.

I was going to send the letter I wrote her, but then I realized that I don't have to justify my life to her or anybody else for that matter. I am thinking of sending this card I did find yesterday that really suits her behavior. The picture on the cover is a dog drinking out of a toilet and it says" What to feel better soon?" open the card and it says " Drink plenty of fluids.

Inside I wrote," Is this where you get you potty mouth from? I thought I was the drama queen in the family, Not anymore...You win. " I'm tempted to send it. But I will see what my family says first. My little brother texted me yesterday to tell me that he also got a rip ravin mad phone call from her too. Because she knows I speak to my little brother and probably thought I was for sure going to call him and tell him everything that happened. The joke is on her this time. I use to do that before, but now I know that reacting to an experience like this is not constructive.

So yes I do love my sister, because she is teaching me to be kinder and more loving. Also how to set boundaries with verbally abusing drama creating people. I will ask my family to not respond to her phone calls for awhile until the dust settles. If she does call, respond with a thank you card and in it just put, thanks for the call, have a great day. I will wait a few weeks before I send my card to her, no use sending it now, because it will just add fuel to the fire. Then she will call someone in the family, to which no one will respond to her call, eventually it will come to a point where she will figure out that it is no use calling anybody over a card, and shift her perception.

Separation caused by The Egoic Mind

I had the wildest experience on the phone yesterday morning with my youngest sister. She called the day before to wish me a happy birthday and I was not able to call her that day to thank her, so I called her the next morning. Well the conversation went well until I made the mistake of commenting on how great it was that she was opening up to talking to the oldest brother in the family, who has always wanted a closer connection to her but has never had the opportunity to do so because of her detachment to the whole family

I never thought it would have caused her to react like she did. I realized after she hung up the phone on me, that she is full of rage and bitterness at what she believes "we" as a family did to her. In her speech she attacked me for my gift of many talents, for making the decision for giving up my daughter and not providing my mother the opportunity to become a grand mother therefor she took it upon herself to have two girls so mom could be a grand parent. I know , I was surprised. 

She told me that my brother sent her a letter to apologies for something she said he did, and felt that the letter was a joke, and that she feels obligated to talk to him because he made an effort. But would have preferred a letter from him saying what a jerk and an asshole he was. So I asked her if that was how she thinks of her own brother? And she never responded. I will be explaining to my brother how she feels about him, because she is raising false hopes in him that his relationship with his sister is going somewhere, when it's not. He deserves the truth. She on the other hand, needs a wake up call. I would rather she hate me for who I am, then love me for who I am not.

My youngest sister tried to commit suicide when she was about 6 or 7 years old . Thank God it was a butter knife. My sister found her in the bathroom. I forgot the story behind that, but it is obviously still affecting her way of thinking today. She talks to two siblings out of 6 in the family. So I am calling on a meeting tomorrow night with three, perhaps four members of the family to discuss a plan of action to get her to realize that she matters to the family. She has become extremely narrow minded, stuck in her story and a problem focused human being, that is crying on the inside for attention.

I have a plan of action that involves love in action. She is not open to anything the family has to offer to help her find relief from her suffering. So I am going to see if my sister and brothers will participate in a card sending technique that I think might work. She can't hate me more then she does now. So this is what I plan to ask my family to do.

We will individually send my sister a card once a month. This card will not have a return address or a signature inside the card. This way, she may assume and accuse us of sending the cards, but there will be no proof of who sent it. I will also ask the family to not respond to any of her calls, if she decides to call to ask to stop sending cards. This will send her a message that she cannot control what we decide to do in our lives. She will probably throw away the cards, which will send her subconscious mind that she is throwing the love of her family in the garbage. When this has happened a few times, the subconscious mind will eventually shift and realize it is throwing love away.

Our true nature is to love, not hate one another. So I will envision her loving the family again and realize that she needs to let go of these thoughts, that she keeps in her mind that is separating her from her own family. That is the ego mind. It has taken control of her well being. When we receive a call from her, we send her another card. It can be a thank you card, thinking of you card, friendship card, someone special card, as long as there is nothing written in the card for her to get upset over. If she reads the card with any of the names of her family on there, it will make her more angry. It triggers the thoughts that create the anger and rage inside her. If we don't write anything, there is nothing she can get angry about except the fact that someone sent her a card, but who? That is silly, why would anyone get upset over someone who actually took the time and effort to send someone a card to show how much they appreciate this person.

This will cause her thinking mind to shift into a more open mind. It will get her out of her narrow mindedness that the ego has got her into. I think it could work. She is not any where's close to having a rational conversation with any one of us. And any apologies from anyone of us, is basically a waste of time. The card thing is our last resort to try and get her to see that we love her no more or no less then anyone else in the family. I'm a middle child, "The Peacemaker" of the family. I hope this works, because I can't think of anything else that would help shift her perception.

What's next

Yesterday was my 54th birthday. I had to work which was a blessing because it was 30 degrees outside and would have probably stayed home anyways. Or I would have spent the day outside the city somewhere. It's always cooler outside the city. I wish there was a lake close by I could go and spend the day, We have the reservoir but it's surrounded my the city and it doesn't feel like your in nature. I miss nature a lot sometimes.

I'm doing well this week with my money. I have $30 left for gas till Friday and still have 3/4 of a tank left in my truck. I have $70 left for food and $6.50 in change. It only Sunday but if I stick to making something cheap for my lunches at work which sometimes is hard to do without involving bread which I work hard to stay away from, I should be able to make it till the end of the week with money left over.

I'm behind on my credit card payment, and my cel phone bill, I own money to two people. I want to save money to fly home this summer to see my family which I haven't done in five years. Not sure how that is going to go. But I'm not going to give up on trying. My family thinks I can just get on a plane , pay my air fair there and back and that's it. They don't realize I have bills to pay rent , and I have to replace a weeks salary. Plus I need spending money when I go there and come back. 

So if I focus on putting as much money on my cel phone and credit card bills as much as I can and have a few payments ahead on those before I go, it will be a lot easier when I come back from my trip. All I'll have to focus on is my rent , my insurance and my allowance. This paycheck I should be able to pay my nephew and my cel phone bill. I should able to pay something on my credit card and give some money to another friend.

I can't remember when I was ever this far behind in payments. I can't stress about it cause that doesn't help me either. All I can do is work at paying them when I do get some money come in. My mom sent me money and so did my aunts for my birthday. Which has help me this month to ease the stress for making my rent again. When I can pay off what I owe to people, I will only have my rent, my insurance, my cel phone and my one credit card to pay. That should be manageable with the money I'm making now..

I also have to think about where I'm going to be in five years. My landlady is planning on retiring, and I just rent a room with her here. I've been here 9 years, 10 this summer. She has become very dependent on me. And what stuck me the other day is that she makes less money then I do and is able to make payments on a brand new car, afford a home, travel, and still have money to do other things. I can't for the life of me figure how she does it.

I don't feel that I spend more money then she does, and still here she is, somehow is able to do and have all these things. Is it about saving? Is that all I have to do to get the life I want and need? I really would love to live by a small lake in nature. Plant a garden and have a horse or two. But it seems so impossible to have with the way I'm living my life today. Land up here is outrageously expensive. If I even had a chance of owning something I would have to move down home again.

I would not go any further then New Brunswick. I think I would like it there more the Nova Scotia. If only I could get my Karatbars business going and make money doing that, which I can, I would be all set. In a very short while I wouldn't have to work the rest of my life and I could enjoy life, like it was meant to be for everyone. I ordered a bumper sticker for my truck, hoping it will help build my business, or at least draw attention so I can at least talk to people about it. Can't wait to start buying gold.

Anyway , that's it for now.

Call Spirit animals back

It's my day off today....I have money to get my driver's license, so I'll go do that today. It is giving high temperatures of 30 degree. I think I'll go out to the lake this afternoon and take my painting and start that so I can have it for my friend who is coming to town next month.

This weekend is my birthday. Not sure if I will go see a movie. The movie I wanted to see is not playing. So I have to find something else to do. I know it will not be too costly, since I'm focusing on my spending habits. But I do deserve to treat myself.

Yesterday I went to a second hand store and found this stuffed dolphin. I have this gift of communicating with animals that I have don't practice. I'm especially good with horses. As I was almost asleep last night, and hugging my new my new dolphin friend, I heard the words" Please help us, we are afraid we are losing our home and we need you to start calling the animal spirits back to Mother Earth . They are her family and she needs them now more then ever." I wondered how I was going to do this, so I posted it on my Facebook

I am calling back the spirit of the animals that had to leave without their permission. All the animals that are on the endangered species list, those that are remaining, and those that are caged up like criminals where their spirits have left their bodies, because they are not free to walk the fields. I call back the fish that have died in the polluted oceans because of the selfishness of human hands. I call back spirit of the bees and the butterflies and the birds that we need for pollination. I call back the spirit of the trees and the rocks and the dirt that has been manipulated into material things so that we could have are homes and buildings that generate the electricity that is ruining this planet. I will go spend time with Mother Earth today, because she matters to me the most. The animals are calling us all into action. I will not sit here and do nothing , even though many may think I'm crazy, I know my heart's calling.

Not sure why I need to share this story , but here you go. I worked on a man's horse one day. He did not know what was going on with his horse, a stallion, who seemed very depressed, did not eat. He was getting worried and asked a friend he knew if she knew someone who could come and do a reading on him. So she asked me to come. I did not know anything about this horse other then he was very depressed. We both walked to the gate to see this horse, and as he walked in and started to call him by his name " Cutter" He turns around and begins walking the other way. The man is confused because he has never acted like this before. He always came when he was called. So I picked up on that. The horse made the owner walk about 500 yards before he was able to catch him.

I did my work on him and I came with the reading that the horse hated his name. I told this to the owner and he of  a horse owner and I not, figured he knew better than I did. So he said he would try and change his name, but felt it would be hard, since he had called him "Cutter" all this time. So he did change his name for a few weeks and the horse bounced back. The he went back to his original name after the horse was healthy. The horse got depressed again and he eventually had to put him down.

We believe that animals cannot communicate, and therefore, cannot find it in ourselves to be open to the possibility that the energy they give out to people can be read by people that have this gift. And so I still sit here wondering what my life would be like if I followed this gift I have . There is another world out there that is parallel to the world we live in and people are afraid to understand that it exist for our survival. Animals are here to help us, if we would only let them do what they came here to do.

Money is a vehicle we all need to learn how to drive

And so as I read about the economy, and people fearing what will happen if the dollar crashes, how will we recover? People are stronger then they think. If we communicate what is happening in our lives around money, we open up the darkness that holds us from leaping forward. Money is a vehicle that we can all drive. We just need to learn how to steer it in the right direction.

I am far from having the money I want, but it doesn't stop me from taking the time to redirect my thinking about money so that I can make better choices for myself. If I have to invest some of my money in gold, then I can choose to do so. I feel that it is safer there then putting in the banks today. Who knows what will happen in the future.

I believe that when they were talking about the Golden Ages, they were taking about a world that would be redefined by the use of the monetary system. We don't have a choice in this one, it is coming and it will happen, because it is happening right now. I want some security. So when I find ways to make a little extra money, I will be invest it in gold.

Yesterday I stopped by to a second hand store quickly to see if I could find a summer dress. I thought I had found one that would fit. I quickly found on but didn't have time to try it on because I was on my way to work. When I got home, I realized that it was a bit too big for me. It cost me $20. I paid $20 for a second hand dress that doesn't fit. So today I'm returning it and may go to a store where I can buy a new dress for the same price. Or I may change my mine and look for a cheaper dress, cause my budget it low this week.

I hate not being able to buy what I would like to buy. But w=you can't have it all. No one can do it for me. It's a lesson that I have to learn and go through. My money is my mentor. It mentors me to believe in this process. Gail say's in her book " It's Your Money" " Financial Freedom comes when you have control. When money anxieties and fears no longer  creep into your thoughts as you lie in bed at night. We can all have financial freedom, regardless of how much we make, if we put money in perspective."

Demands demands demands

People are funny. I have customers come into my work place asking me why do we change this much for what we offer. And they tell us that they can get the same service some where's else cheaper. Instead of going to that cheaper place, they prefer to argue and make a scene in front of other customers just to get their point across. Is this not the ego, wanting what it wants? If they know they can get it cheaper some where's else, why don't they make the choice to go to this cheaper place?

I know for myself, when I want to buy something and I want a deal, I do my diligence. It's not that hard today with Google. Then what's funny , we also give two free items with out product, and  they don't want the free items. What? It's free. And they argue that as well.

 

We had one woman come in for our services yesterday and when she came back, I asked her if I could help her. She said she was here to review the product we had done for her, and I said, " Oh yes , you were the large group of 8 or 10 people , I remember." She  quickly snapped back and said," We were 8 of us and I think it would be important to remember that incase a homicide happened you would want to know how many people where  here." Wooo.  Watching too much CSI perhaps.

Is this the way people respond to daily remarks? What in the world is happening in their lives that would generate a response of this intensity? What could have happened in her life that would cause her to think of a thought that is so stressful? What is she attracting to her life, was my next question. I could maybe understand that because of her race, she may have gone through some really tough times in her past but why does she have to bring these thoughts into her daily life instead of looking at them and clearing them instead? I may have to bring in some sage to clear this place of the negative people that come in to out place of business.

People bring with them the energy they carry. If you are in a bad mood, you bring that with you all day , everywhere you go. You leave bits and pieces of that energy with a friend, or co-worker. No wonder our equipment keeps breaking down. The energy is so bad there that it cannot run properly. Everything is energy, and bad energy can affect equipment too. Since I've worked there, we've replaced out printer, out debit printer, a cord on a machine we use, our server computer went down this week also. It seems to be one thing after another. So I think it's sage time.

I also find that is I say what is true in the situation, I'm the one that is rude. That's makes me wonder what the other person heard me say. I had a customer and I told them that if they didn't want to make to purchase , that they had the choice to say no, and I'm the one that is called being rude. The truth is that they DO have the choice. They came into our business and decided to buy whatever we had to offer. Then if they are not satisfied with what we provide, they want us to chance the way we run the business in order to satisfy their needs. Isn't that a form of manipulation?

How long would businesses run if we catered to the exchange of needs a customer had? Not very long, I'm guessing. But yet there are many people out there that feel they have a right to go into any business they want and demand the price they ask for, and if they don't get what they want, the tantrum begins. Isn't in interesting. I'm sure not the only person out there that has experienced this . What is going on with people today. Do they go at Starbucks and demand a cheaper price on their $5.00 latte? I'm guessing not. Do they go to the hair salons and nail salons or massage salons and demand that the owners put  down their prices also. No, why? Because it is a service.

To serve another is a privilege, not a right, just like driving. If we were not able to serve one another, one would wonder how long we would last here on earth. We can stop being so demanding and start being grateful that we have the ability to serve someone something they need, and be grateful that this service is offered. If we couldn't offer our service in the business I'm in, LOL let's just say, is there another planet pleeeeese......
