The Secret Is Wags

About six weeks ago, Tim took two new jobs.  Neither job is ideal—in terms of hours, money, or the work itself—but jobs are jobs, and we need income.

For the first month or so of Tim’s new 7-day a week work schedule, we struggled a little to accept our lifestyle change.  For years, we’ve worked together at home and enjoyed the freedom of setting our own hours.  It was tough to accept having a couple companies dictate our schedule.

Tim dealt with it better than I did.  He’s good at finding what Abraham-Hicks calls positive aspects (the upside of the situation), and he decided to enjoy the challenge of learning his new tasks.  He also focused on enjoying the variety of people he met. Still, even as I felt a profound sense of loss, as if I was grieving the life we’d thought we created and had to let go to deal with our present circumstances, I saw that Tim’s energy was lower than I’d seen in awhile.  He said he was okay, but his body language and manner said different.

I knew we needed to do something to shift our point of attraction.  Our vibrational frequency was lower than it needed to be to match our desires.  What could we do? (more…)

When a whole lot of yucky things are going on in your life and you’ve sunk to the bottom of the emotional scale and you know you’re out of alignment with what you want, what can you do to feel better right this minute?

Abraham-Hicks teaches many processes that can help improve your emotional set point and thus your alignment, but sometimes things can get so overwhelming that it’s tough to summon up the oomph to do any of the processes.  Sometimes, visualizing and journaling and whatever else is just too much trouble.  And remember, if it doesn’t feel good, it’s not helping.

So what can you do when you feel this bad?

Tim and I are in our car.  He’s driving. I’m gazing out the passenger side window.

Tim says, “Is he any good?”

“What?” I ask.

I have no idea what he’s talking about.  We haven’t been having a conversation.  We’ve been riding in silence.

“Is he any good?” Tim repeats as if hearing the question again will clear it up for me.

“Is who any good?”

“Him,” Tim waves a hand toward the windshield.

“What?  Who?” I look directly in front of the car for some invisible “him” I’m supposed to evaluate.

“The sign.” Tim waves a hand toward the windshield again.

My gaze extends further ahead.  I see a banner hanging across the road. It announces Clint Black’s upcoming performance at a nearby casino.

“Clint Black?” I ask.

Tim nods.

I give him my opinion of Clint Black, for what it’s worth, and I ask him what made him think I would have any idea what he was talking about.  He says, “I figured you were looking at what I was looking at.”

DA DUM! Did you hear that big orchestral crescendo that denotes something important? (more…)

Ducky turns one year old in a week.  Hard to believe.  I can still close my eyes and feel that warm little ball of wiggles I held in my arms when we brought her home last October.  Tim says he vaguely remembers being able to carry her around.  She’s now almost 45 pounds of mostly spring-generated muscle.

Since Ducky is my greatest and most consistent source of joy (she’s sort of like a cannon that shoots me into the Vortex), I decided to spend a couple bucks for the props to stage a good Ducky birthday picture for The Joyful Springer (it will be on the site on the 24^th).   So a few days ago, Tim and I stopped in Wal-mart to get a birthday hat and balloon.

A few days ago, Tim and I met with an attorney and provided him with all the paperwork and information he needs to prepare to file my Chapter 7 bankruptcy.  Before that appointment, I had about three weeks to get used to the idea that last year at this time, I thought I had more than $50,000 in the bank and no balances running on my credit cards and now here I am filing bankruptcy because of something dumb that my own husband did, something that ran up all my cards and ran down the bank account.

I realize now that I’ve spent the last ten months in shock.  When you think you’re trucking along doing just fine and then you get gobsmacked with a “what is” reality that seems to have erupted from the ground beneath your feet like a malevolent alien, shock is a reasonable response, for sure.  But it’s not all that helpful to stay stuck in shock for a long time. Shock isn’t exactly a positive vibration. (more…)

So there’s this Vortex, to use Abraham-Hicks terminology.  It’s an extraordinary font of energy—organized, creational energy that holds everything asked for by everyone.

I think of the Vortex as a sort of energy clearinghouse where everything that’s asked for is given, where every request is put into place in a cooperative way for the good of all who are asking.  EVERYTHING asked for, from a better tasting toothpaste to the vastest monetary fortune imaginable, is given in the Vortex.

Obviously, the Vortex is the place to be.

And how do we get there? (more…)

Ducky In Her Play Bow

Today’s post comes under the heading of “Yes, I KNOW this,” but I think it also comes under the heading of “I can’t have too many reminders.”

When it comes to finding ways to improve our vibrational alignment so law of attraction will deliver pleasurable and wanted experiences into our lives, the methods and techniques are endless.  We can (more…)

About five years ago, I met an elderly gentleman who, according to his wife, could fall asleep within one minute of closing his eyes.  And he could do it in any situation.  Since I often took a long time to fall asleep, I was intrigued and I asked him how he did it.

He told me he learned his “trick” when he was a soldier in World War II.  Because sleep was imperative but sleeping conditions were abysmal, he had to find a way to get to sleep no matter what.  He tried several things and finally discovered one that has worked for him to this day:  When he closes his eyes, he puts all his concentration on relaxing his facial muscles. He consistently falls asleep within a minute of beginning the process. (more…)

I started writing right a few days ago.  I’m writing my ideal life.  To start, I dug out some old incomplete journals to use because I didn’t want to go out and buy new ones.  I’m writing in these differently than the way I used to—recording my life as it unfolded. Now I’m recording my life as it exists in the Vortex, that place where all my desires are already reality. I’m writing the life of the identity I’m claiming for myself as a financially free, awesomely successful, and stunningly healthy woman.

In one of the journals I dug out for this purpose, I discovered a list of manifesting steps taped to the inside cover.  The date on the cover was 1998.

When I saw this list, my stomach heaved, and the enthusiastic energy I’d summoned for this good-feeling project was sucked from me as if by a gigantic invisible Hoover®.  On my list of steps, I’d written out the four things I wanted at the time:  financial freedom, success as a regularly published author, a healthy and slender body, and a loving husband.  Okay, so I’m one for four (I have the loving husband).  Seriously, though.  I’ve been after these same things for a dozen years, and truthfully, even longer than that.  How depressing.

But wait ….. (more…)

Have you talked on the phone to someone you haven’t met and created a mental picture of the person based on his or her voice?

Years ago, I spoke on the phone with a woman who had what I thought was the sexiest female voice I’d ever encountered.  It was wonderfully rich, with a sexy timbre.  I was sure this woman had to be stunning.  When I finally met her face to face, I was shocked to meet a very large woman with a pock-marked complexion, stringy hair, and a Jimmy Durante-sized nose.  Mind you, none of these qualities are bad, but they just didn’t fit the voice.

For the last several years, I have been one of these mismatched people—not in terms of voice and appearance, but in terms of what I write vs. what I do and think.  To use an old cliché, I haven’t been walking my talk.

On this blog, and in other arenas, I’ve been writing about the law of attraction for many years.  I’ve been studying it even longer.

I KNOW this stuff … but I haven’t been consistently DOING this stuff.

You would think that finding reasons to feel good would be an easy thing to do.  You’d think that living in a virtual reality where your focus is on being the person you want to be would be a breeze.  Why wouldn’t you want to put your attention on thoughts that made you feel great? (more…)
