This week has been quite the experience. I spent some time worrying, rhapsodizing about my lessons, and also reevaluating. Today I was scheduled to speak on Meditation. I cancelled it, due to the fact I didn’t feel well enough to do it. Today I feel great! If I had waited to decide whether or not to cancel my talk, I never would have canceled. The I-Ching always advises that The Creative will provide a solution to one who waits with a correct attitude (Hexagram #5). When unsure what to do, do nothing. Anyway, my lesson here is to be receptive and open. To really listen to my Higher Self. And to be unafraid. Know I am being helped and directed. And above all, act on the guidance I am receive.

Well, I met a bike this week. Ran right into me. The bush on the corner kept us from seeing each other right before the collision. I’m OK. And very lucky. You should see the bike, though! Seriously. I have to see what I created to manifest this. I have a couple ideas, however my main goal right now is to take this situation and make it positive. During the past few days following this accident, I have been listening to tapes, reading-and doing some writing. I have observed a permeating theme throughout all of this: Thoughts create our reality. I must admit that some my thinking hasn’t been all that positive lately. By looking at this situation as one which I can learn from, and by following through,  I will be able to learn from this and make the necessary changes.

Tomorrow the Democratic candidate announces his running mate. This could usher in a new period. One has to wonder how much of his selection is based on his beliefs and values, and to what extent outside factors affected his decision. In a world where one is responsible for their actions,there are always outside factors influencing their choices. Barack Obama, of course, has a responsibility to listen to his constituents, ultimately, however he needs to answer to himself as well.

Preconceived notions of how things need to be allows room for Divine Space to enter.

where I can take any experience, give it to God (whatever my definition of God is) and know it will be OK. Whenever I encounter an obstacle or challenge, I know I am being given the opportunity to reconnect with and remember my Spiritual connection. It is an opportunity to renew my faith, knowing the outcome will Divinely perfect.

Ok. So my temporary job lasts until the middle of October. I have no idea what I will do next. I have been trying to line things up for the next period, however, I am not sure how much to do, For instance, can I tell a prospective employer that I am seeking employment, in six weeks. Do I just wait? Do
I have the faith to know it will be ok? I have always been taken care of. I guess the thing to be is proactive, yet detached. Detached participation, if you will. I think if I step back, but keep my goal in mind, I will be fine. It is just challenging not knowing. However, this can be a growth producing period, if I allow it to be. It’s kind of exciting not knowing. Kind of, but not really. Oh well, I guess I’ll have to just wait and see what happens.

So much time has been spent waiting. Waiting to get another job, waiting to meet someone special, waiting to lose (or gain) 5 pounds. When I allow myself to remain focused on my center - my connection with Spirit - I am guided to listen to and follow my inner guidance. Three ways to do this are: meditation, writing or journaling for 15 minutes each day, being grateful and giving thanks daily for 3-5 things in your life. Mindset is everything.

My experiences lately have brought me to where I no longer know what is happening next in my life. Surely there must be some end to this topsy turvy existence called ‘life’. If so, I hope some resolution occurs soon. If this uncertainty indicates the way my life is supposed to be then OK, I’ll accept that. I just want to know. On the bright side, I am beginning to see that sometimes chaos can be good thing because it allows the new to occur. So what initially seems like disruption, can be Divine Order making its next move. So although I might think I want things to remain the same, in reality I know I really don’t.

I am beginning to see how forcing something that isn’t right for me can be counterproductive. When I’m so busy trying to manifest something which isn’t right for me, I might fail to recognize when something is, Another downside can be the tendency to get discouraged. I am so busy trying to live another person’s path, I miss my own gifts. By allowing myself to recognize when I don’t always know what works for me, I can create the space to find out what really does.

Is a powerful thing. Ones thoughts absolutely create their reality.
