The six months we lived in Hawaii were some of the worst of times, for me. Odd, considering Hawaii is considered to be a type of paradise. The one thing I miss, however, are the sunrises. I loved sitting on the lanai, watching the sun come up. It was a meditative time for me. Seeing the shifts from total darkness to daylight gave me hope. My faith grew, and I became to know that truly, wherever I am, God is, and all is well.
Back on the mainland, close to family and friends, life is good. Life is better than I could have imagined, sitting there on that lanai 3 years ago, wondering what the heck had gone wrong, and how would I ever get past it. Well, I am still working on the fully and freely forgiving, and letting it go, part, but I spend more time thinking about how wonderful life is now than I do thinking how awful that experience in Hawaii was. Energy follows thought. So here's to thinking more and more and more about the good things in life!

So Much For Writing Something Everyday.....
Apparently, I need an 'assignment' to write. One of my favorite exercises in a high school writing class was to jot down everything thought that came to you during the 40 minute class. From all those random thoughts, you were to pick one and begin to write.
Over the last few days, I've been jotting down topics about which to write. Nothing has truly inspired me as of yet, but here are some of the random topics that I'm thinking about.
Weight Loss - ah there's a surprise. I've been the queen of diets, tried most everything, stuck with none of them. Now it is time to apply some of the things I've learned from the teachings of Abraham-Hicks toward this goal. One thing I read in Money And The Law Of Attraction was the analogy of using a map to navigate your way around. You can't use a map of Canada and expect to find your way around the USA. I want to spend more time looking at what gets me to my weight loss goal in a happy fashion. That involves changing my thinking about diets (for instance, that they are limiting) and paying less attention about what works for others and more attention about what works for me.
We need a new political party! The Love Party? The Integrity Party? The Justice Party? The Peace Party? The Unity Party? Like many people, I get plain sick and tired of hearing criticism from one candidate or party about the other. Don't tell me what's wrong with them. Tell me about you!
Have you ever noticed that singing The Lord's Prayer is more powerful than just saying it?
I really like the TV Show, The Talk. The opening sequences are similar to The View without all the arguing. The 5 women are just talking - sharing thoughts and opinions, and not taking it personally when someone disagrees. It's like friends just getting together for coffee or drinks and having a good time.
And in my best Marlon Brando voice - "I coulda been a Catholic!" I having been thoroughly enjoying My Life With The Saints by James Martin, and through this book have discovered the writings of Ignatius of Loyola and Thomas Merton.
And it was in a book about Thomas Merton that I found this quote from the editor "After all, a writer wants nothing more than to be read." Yep, ain't that the truth! But Betsy - you have to actually write something if you want someone to read it!

Day 31 - Four Be's To Abundance
This is the last day of the month, and my last example of how I personally work with the Four Be's To Abundance. I hope it inspires you to give it a try. I've been working this particular program for 2 years now. I've been through hills and valleys. Last year, we were barely making ends meet. Yesterday, we paid off our mortgage. I truly believe this happened due to a change in my thinking. By next year at this time, even more wonders will have occurred.
Vibrationally, this month, I did the following:
1. Tithed $49,600
2. Saved $49,600
3. Paid off the mortgage (and we did IRL too!)
4. Paid off the equity loan.
5. Upgraded the electrical panel in our home.
6. Remodeled the kitchen
7. Got new appliances.
8. Fixed our porch/entryway
9. Fixed the bulkhead on our side yard.
10. Got new windows.
11. Got new window shades.
12. Replaced a cracked windshield.
13. Painted the exterior of the house.
14. Got a soaking tub, and bathroom remodel to accomodate the tub.
15. I gifted each of our 3 kids $52,000+ to take a year off work and follow their dreams.
I am grateful for:
1. My faith in God.
2. My husband, Kim.
3. Our 3 kids, Tim, Ryan and Erin.
4. Our 3 grandkids, Trystan, Odin and Alex.
5. Our SIL Tom and DIL Patty.
6. My parents and the way I was raised.
7. Kim's parents and the way he was raised.
8. Our extended familes.
9. Our friends.
10. Our lifestyle (retired and living off investments)
11. The generosity of relatives who have crossed over.
12.The 10 lbs I've lost on the shortened hcg protocol. My continued body transformation to a more slender and healthier me.
13. My great money manager/investment advisor.
14. My healthy thyroid.
15. My normal eye pressure.
16. Living back in our house
17. That first cup of coffee each morning
18. A winning lottery scratch ticket ($20 - yay) (another $30 ticket too) (an a $50 one).
19. The safety of my family and friends who have had to be out on the road during this winter storm.
20 The warmer weather.
21. The utility service workers (and all service workers - police, fire fighters, hospital employees, etc) that worked so hard during this winter blast.
22. Our Tempurpedic mattress and a good night's sleep.
23. Hanging on to the book, My Life With The Saints, by James Martin, because I am really enjoying it now. (At one point, it was in the to-donate pile)
24. That Kim cleaned out a space for me to set up my Gazelle so I can exercise in the morning.
25. All the travel I got to do in a previous job role.
26. My spiritual teachers, past, present and future.
27. Living in and being a citizen of the USA.
28. Wifi.
29. The confidence and inner security that comes with age.

Today's affirmation: "I am relaxed and centered and I have plenty of time for everything" is one I use when I get myself all worked up about what I need to do or where I need to be and when.
Have you ever time warped? I was leaving the house for a business trip. The airport car/shuttle was late picking me up. Then we got stuck in traffic. It was a Monday and I just knew the security lines were going to be long, and I had luggage to check in. I had arrangements made for friends to meet me at the destination and they were flying in from a different city, and I just did not want to miss my flight. I found myself in just a panic and knew I had to settle myself down. I closed my eyes so I wasn't watching the traffic, and I just started thinking to myself "I am relaxed and centered and I have plenty of time for everything." The next thing I knew, we were at the airport. The drive took 50 minutes. I kept checking my watch. Even in light traffic, the drive is 60 minutes. I could hardly believe it, but here I was, checking in with plenty of time to spare. I have no explanation for how it happened, but it did. The power of positive thinking and co-creating at work.
I am relaxed and centered and I have plenty of time for everything.

Be Prepared (in your spending plan)
Today I have $30,000. $3000 tithe. $3000 savings. The $24,000 remaining toward goal # 25.
Today's affirmation: "I am relaxed and centered and I have plenty of time for everything" is one I use when I get myself all worked up about what I need to do or where I need to be and when.
Have you ever time warped? I was leaving the house for a business trip. The airport car/shuttle was late picking me up. Then we got stuck in traffic. It was a Monday and I just knew the security lines were going to be long, and I had luggage to check in. I had arrangements made for friends to meet me at the destination and they were flying in from a different city, and I just did not want to miss my flight. I found myself in just a panic and knew I had to settle myself down. I closed my eyes so I wasn't watching the traffic, and I just started thinking to myself "I am relaxed and centered and I have plenty of time for everything." The next thing I knew, we were at the airport. The drive took 50 minutes. I kept checking my watch. Even in light traffic, the drive is 60 minutes. I could hardly believe it, but here I was, checking in with plenty of time to spare. I have no explanation for how it happened, but it did. The power of positive thinking and co-creating at work.
I am relaxed and centered and I have plenty of time for everything.

Today, I have $29,000. $2900 tithe. $2900 savings. The remaining $23,200 toward goal #25.
One of the things about committing to the Four Be's To Abundance is knowing that toward the end of the month, you need about an hour each morning to write out all your goals, affirmations, and desires, plus the contemplative time that goes into thinking about what you are co-creating.
Today's affirmation "I am open and receptive to divine messages from Spirit" is one I use when I'm tired of making decisions. Sometimes I just want someone to tell me what to do - well, not tell me, tell me - but guide me, make suggestions, nudge me in the right direction. Today I was having trouble trying to decide what to add to the "I desire" list. I looked over my list, and there is a balance of material and non-material things. If I had these material things, I would enjoy them, but.....What really makes me happy is giving. I've been lucky enough to give large gifts to family, friends, and charitable causes. There is such a joy in that. I was thinking about our upcoming trip to Las Vegas next month. Our niece and niece-in-law are planning a trip in April. We recently suffered the loss of our nephew (brother and husband of these two girls) and I'm sure their planned trip to Las Vegas is going to be a welcome vacation and hopefully a lot of fun for them. We've been sharing plans about what to do, and where to stay, etc. For my husband and me, this is a bit of a splurge trip. I've always wanted to stay at the Bellagio and to be able to watch the fountains from our room, so this is what we are doing. I asked the girls where they were going to stay and they hadn't made plans yet, but suggested that I should get them a room at the Bellagio too. I told them if I won big, I would. Wouldn't it be fun if I could do that for them? Therefore, that is my desire for today. And I am open and receptive to divine messages from Spirit - especially in regards to what games to play to win big - not only for me, but for them as well!

Be Prepared (in your spending plan)
Today I have $28,000. $2800 tithe. $2800 savings. $22,400 toward goal #25.
Today's affirmation: "I am slender and physically fit."
To be honest, I'm not sure what my motivation is here in regards to this affirmation. I want to look good, but why? Is it vanity? Or is it some deeply imbedded human desire just to look pleasing to others? I am struggling with this because I know just reaching a goal weight will not make me happy, other than for the few moments following the time I get off the scale. What is it about us that wants to look good. And is it looking good to ourselves, to our partners, to others? I'm in my mid-50s. I've been married for greater than 30 years. It's not like I'm out there, hoping somebody will be checking me out. Most of the time I would prefer to be invisible.
I have friends and loved ones of all shapes and sizes. I'm not attracted to them because of how they look. I am attracted to them because of who they are, because we get along, maybe we share the same interests, and most definitely because they make me laugh. I am pretty certain they feel the same way about me.
So back to why do I want to be slender and fit. Well, from a health perspective, it is better for your body to be fit, that's a no-brainer. Skinny and obese are two opposite ends of the spectrum, both of which are unhealthy in the long run. Maybe it is the term 'slender' that is getting to me. Is slender just this side of skinny? Is obsessing on the physical appearance just as unhealthy as being skinny or obese?
Maybe if I focus on just being physically fit, the rest will follow just as it should.
I amslender and physically fit.

So back to why do I want to be slender and fit. Well, from a health perspective, it is better for your body to be fit, that's a no-brainer. Skinny and obese are two opposite ends of the spectrum, both of which are unhealthy in the long run. Maybe it is the term 'slender' that is getting to me. Is slender just this side of skinny? Is obsessing on the physical appearance just as unhealthy as being skinny or obese?
Maybe if I focus on just being physically fit, the rest will follow just as it should.
I am

Be Prepared (in your spending plan)
Today I have $27,000. $2700 tithe. $2700 savings. $21,600 toward goal #25.
Today's affirmation: "Let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with me."
This affirmation comes from the following song - music and lyrics by Jill Jackson and Sy Miller.
Let there be peace on earth
And let it begin with me.
Let there be peace on earth
The peace that was meant to be.
With God as our father
United all are we.
Let us walk with each other
In perfect harmony.
Let peace begin with me
Let this be the moment now.
With every step I take
Let this be my solemn vow.
To take each moment
And live each moment
With peace eternally.
Let there be peace on earth,
And let it begin with me.
I have often struggled with the fact that I know very little about any war or unrest around the world. I don't read that part of the paper or listen to the world news. There is a large part of me that feels it just doesn't effect me. If it is not in my field of awareness, I will not attract that experience. I am very grateful to live in the USA, to have the protection and security our military personnel provide, to live in a country where my opinion counts - even if that opinion is one laissez faire.
Who wouldn't want peace on earth? It seems so obvious to me that everyone would, but then you have to ask yourself what is the definition of peace. Personal peace can be described as happiness - knowing that all is right in "my" world, and that often happens when things are going "my" way. What makes me happy, may not make you or a political/religious extremist happy.
Oh, what to do, what to do, what to think, what to think? Well, let there be peace on earth and let it begin with ME. I can seek personal peace, and you can seek personal peace, and we all can seek personal peace. We are talking about entrainment here.
Below are parts of an article I found on www.energy-healing-info.com.
" A new physics principle called entrainment was discovered in 1665 by a Dutch Physicist and Scientist named Christian Huygens. He made many well known breakthroughs in the field of physics and astronomy....
It was during his research with pendulum clocks that Huygens noted the new physics concept. Huygens found that when he placed two of them on a wall near each other and swung the pendulums at different rates, they would eventually end up swinging at the exact same rate. They fell into rhythm with one another. He realized that this concept applied to not just pendulum clocks, but as a basic law of physics.
Since that time in 1665, the concept has become a well-accepted principal of physics. The principle is universal and appears not just in nature or mechanical pendulum clocks, but also in principles of chemistry, pharmacology, biology, medicine, psychology, sociology and more. The concept is firmly established, researched, and accepted by the scientific community.
A basic definition of entrainment is the tendency for two oscillating bodies to lock into phase so that they vibrate in harmony......
An even simpler definition is that it's a synchronization of two or more rhythmic cycles. The theory behind entrainment is that the less diversity there is in a system the more energy it will conduct. In plain English it's easier and takes less energy for systems to work in cooperation than in opposition."
So let's cooperate! Let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with us!
