A little background first.

Each morning I get on the phone with three of my favorite people, Kat McCarthy, Wayne Parker and Mary K. Weinhagen. This call started out as a way for us to increase our wealth consciousness. It continues to be that, and has also grown into a huge creative space and brainstorming time. Each morning we get together and we spend 7000 dollars. The first few weeks we took care of things that were past due or needed caught up on. The challenge then became how to spend 7000 dollars every day!

We thought if we didn’t know how we would use the money, why would spirit give it to us?

We spend plenty of money on ourselves, but increasingly we began spending more and more money on others. Others in need, other’s ideas, support great causes, creating great causes.

It’s such a habit to go and spend my money every morning that sometimes I forget to look around and see what has come of it.

Which brings us back to me looking around my life. When we spend our money it’s an “order up” to the universe, and it’s important to recognize when things are actually manifesting as we asked for.

A while back I had a Honda (that I manifested out of nothing) that I truly loved, but it was getting small with a new little one and all her stuff. I spent my money one day on a Blazer, green to be exact. I realized the other day as I looked out the window behind my monitor there is a green blazer sitting in my driveway!

Recently I have been experiencing some frustration sharing the computer with my husband. He always seems to need it right when I’m in the middle of something important. A couple weeks ago I bought myself a new computer, one of my very own, so I no longer had to share it. My husband informed me over the weekend he purchased the necessary parts to upgrade the memory in my computer, as well as the parts he needed to fix his laptop, which he will be using from now on.

Woo hoo. I got my own computer. It’s important to notice and recognize that I received my intention. I really wanted a computer I didn’t need to share. That is what I have now. It did not show up as a new computer of my very own, but my intention was fulfilled just the same.

Those are my two major things I have manifested lately. I will keep you up to date as time goes on.

I would love for you to look around your life and notice the things that have showed up that you asked for. When you notice them, please stop by and tell us about them in the comment section. I look forward to hearing about what’s manifesting for you!

Have an amazing day!

Tonight I attended an Intenders group at the Unity Church. I have been working with the law of attraction and intentions for many years now. It was interesting to ponder my gratitudes and intentions and then share them with others in the circle.  I’m not sure I will go back, as I’m not sure the group is “right” for me. However, at the end of the group we read through this code. I did find this wonderful and felt it would be a great thing to bring into my life and my intentions practice. I thought I would share it with you all, and if you want to know more about this and the group I attended you can go to their website. www.intenders.com

This wouldn’t be such a shock if it weren’t for the fact that David is a mentally challenged adult. Where on earth did he get that kind of money? He pulled me aside and answered my unspoken question, so excited that his words tumbled pell mell of his lips, faster and faster until I could barely keep up with his stream of consciousness. Eventually I got the gist of his monologue.

When he was a little boy he had made weekly trips with his mother to a local department store. He was mesmerized by the window displays and eagerly stood with his nose pressed against the glass until his breath clouded his view. Then came the display which would change his and many other lives 30 years later. It was a Victor Five Victrola, the kind that needed to be wound by hand before placing the needle on the record, the machine which bore the symbol of a black and white dog, ear cocked to its side. Not missing a beat, he expounded on a history lesson about Columbia Records and their music machines, information gleaned from his trips to the library. There was nothing he didn’t know about that golden age of music.

His mother died, and he eventually was able to live independently, supervised by an agency. It was through the agency that he obtained work, cleaning toilets of public facilities five nights a week. Every week he squirreled away his paycheck, never forgetting the Victrola. He was on a mission to find and buy a phonograph like the one he had once admired through plate glass.

Visibly exhausted from revealing his secret, David paused long enough to pull out a tattered Polaroid photo from his back pocket. He lovingly waved it in front of my eyes and proclaimed, “There it is! Victor Five!” He had found the object of his desire exhibited at a museum and had been faithfully visiting it every chance he could get. The colored piece of paper was a constant reminder of his goal.

I tucked away his confession into the back of my mind, only to dust it off when I wandered into one of my favorite antique shops a few months later. In the back of the shop, tacked in the corner of a bulletin board over the owner’s desk, was a Polaroid picture just like the one David had shown me. I hastily inquired as to why it was there and unknowingly opened the door to a personal witnessing of the triumph of the human spirit.

David had gone to every antique shop in the city and had left a picture of his beloved Victrola with each of the shopkeepers. If any one of them was to come across a Victor Five, he wanted to buy it. Rain or shine, the owner at Century Antiques counted on David to stop at his Waterbury store at least twice a month to check on the success of his quest. He hadn’t put any effort into looking because he honestly didn’t think David had the money for such an expensive piece. After all, David was, well, not “like us.” Didn’t he know that it was next to impossible to find that particular antique? But, being a kindhearted soul, the dealer had taken a liking to David and posted his Polaroid.

I commanded him to take the mission seriously. If David was short the required amount for the purchase, I knew it wouldn’t be impossible to find enough people to chip in to make up the difference. There was a core group of people in our church who were fond of him and would dig into their pockets to help him reach his goal.

It took some time, but the antique shop came through with flying colors. For months, the owner’s son, Chip, had made phone call after phone call in the tri-state area and eventually struck it rich. A Victor Five had been found! He personally drove to the source, brought the machine back to his shop, and called me with the news. “I can’t believe it. It’s a miracle that I found one in such beautiful shape, or that I found one at all!”

The cost to David? Not a nickel more than what it had cost the dealer.

The profit for the dealer? The pure joy of seeing David when he flung open the door to the shop, stopping speechless in front of the phonograph, clapping his hands together in prayer, and looking up to heaven and saying, “Thank you, thank you for my Victor Five.”

So, if you drive down the street past David’s apartment, you will most probably hear music. David will be playing his Victrola, and the world will be a little nicer.

Here’s the quote:

“Now you’ve got this manifestation, NOW you are willing to do something about
it. We call it post-manifestation awareness. We’re not mocking you atall with that!
It is lovely when you get so in synch with your emotions that you can feel
when you’re not letting yourself go be who you are. It’s such a wonderful
things when you recognize you could find a thought that feels a little
better, and in doing so, you could release the resistance. It’s a wonderful
thing when you recognize that.

But what we really want to say is, “SO WHAT!?”

So what if you missed those clues.
So what if you didn’t remember.
So what if you were born into a family who didn’t encourage you to be
emotional.
So what if nobody cared how you felt and just ran roughshod over the top of
you and forced you to do things you didn’t want to do.
So what if there are things in your life that are not the way you want them
to be.
So what!??!

Here you stand with the potential of offering a vibration that Law of
Attraction will match.

So what-has-been doesn’t mean diddly-squat! And what is doesn’t either.
What is does not matter. It’s only an indication of vibration. You have
the power to change your vibration right now, right now, right now!

This really puts bad days/months/years into perspective for me and reminds me that the only thing that matters is doing my best to feel good in this very moment.

Have an amazing moment!

“The feeling of worry is an emotional indicator that if you keep beating this
drum, you are using THAT as your excuse to slow down this thing that you
want.Then many people would say, “but it’s LOGICAL that I am worried about this.”And we say, “Worry may seem logical, but it NEVER is. Try to talk yourself
down from the worry. Even though you have legitamate things to worry about,
you can TRAIN yourself to less worry and less worry and less worry, and find
relief, relief, relief.”Shift the way you feel and watch what happens. If you can rid yourself of
worry, you will rid yourself of things to worry about. It is really that
simple.”

Abraham-Hicks San Francisco 7/28/07I love it when Abe talks about worry. I used to have such a worrying problem. I worried about everything, to the point of anxiety attacks. If I saw a firetruck I worried my house was on fire, crazy stuff, that kept me running around in a constant state of panic.

When I learned about the law of attraction I realized the more I worried, the more there would be for me to worry about. I decided then that I didn’t want to worry so much.

At that point I had no real way of knowing if something was a legitimate worry or not, I’d been worrying about everything for such a long time I had lost my “is this really a worry” filter.

I have a wonderful husband and he became my filter in the beginning. I totally trusted him. When I would start to worry about something I would ask him, “Is this something I really need to worry about?”. He’s not much of a worrier, so 9.5 times out of 10 the answer was no.

Because I trusted him and knew he would never hurt me or let me get hurt I was able to let go of the worry. The more I let go, the better I felt, and the less I had to worry about. There are still times when big things come up, like him going on strike, or me quitting my job when I ask, is this something I need to worry about? His answer is still usually no. What I’ve realized is there is really NOTHING that needs to be worried about. The more faith I have in the fact that everything is just as it should be and is meant to be, why would I worry.

I now have great faith in the fact that everything is happening just as it should. It is much easier and much happier not having to worry so much now. Whew!
