Finding Happyness

I must admit that if I'd had a babysitter I'd have left Jake at home but I didn't so he had to come too.

I dashed out tonight to see The Pursuit of Happyness.  It was only showing at our local cinema for one night and I didn't want to miss it.  I didn't realise this was a preview showing and it's not really opening till Friday.  (Am never quite sure why cinemas do this.  It's either opening on Friday or it's not).

I went in pursuit of happiness and found happyness indeed.

It Don't Have to Be Bach!

I was just zipping through Bill Ford's newsletter this morning, very quickly before I started work, honest guv, and I was taken with his passing comment about music.  He says:

"If you haven’t heard the song ‘Hallelujah’ done by Jeff Buckley, then you have
a treat in store. It is almost a life-changing song. Play it at night when the
house is still or late at night on the motorway on your own. It touches me in
parts I didn’t know could be reached."

Now I'm pretty sure I haven't come across this or I guess I would have remembered, but doesn't this sort of comment just make you want to dash off and find it quick?

Lawyers of Attraction

Our small Attractors group re-convened on a bridge line this evening for the first time since before Christmas.  In theory this is a group of six or seven of us who want to explore and discuss the principles of the law of attraction with like-minded others.  In practice, there has been a core group of three with others sliding in and out from week to week.

Tonight we were the core group, meeting to decide whether, and if so how, we want to continue these weekly calls.  There was a feeling amongst us that we had run a little out of steam as a weekly group call, and that we might move to a Google Group and throw the world an invite.

But the energy changed as the call developed...

I'm Gonna Love 2007

Today I am attracting Acceptance that I can't control other people, Courage to continue walking my own path, Spark to be the best coach I can be for my clients, and Wisdom and Laughter to remind me it's not the crap life throws at us that matters but how we choose to perceive it and what we do with it.  One woman's crap is another woman's manure.

And as Mike Dooley's Totally Unique Thought tells me this morning:

This is just your friendly, annual reminder, Mal, that things can change so very, very fast.

Passport up to date? Shot card? Bank deposit slips in your possession at all times?

You're gonna love 2007...

The Science of Getting Rich

Have you come across The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace Wattles?  I'm just re-reading it and had forgotten what a treasure of a book it is.  And guess what, you can download your own e-book copy of it right here completely free.

WW wrote this classic back in 1910 and it has been popularised in recent years by Rebecca Fine of Certain Way Productions whose Practical Geniuses online course I'm working my way through right now.  You might like to know that with this course you can set your own tuition fee - how cool is that?

Now the reason I'm talking about SOGR today is because so many of us feel guilty about wanting to make money.  Is that you too?  At some level we believe that there is something virtuous or spiritual about our money bucket having just enough to cover the essentials but not too many luxuries.  After all, not only are babies starving in Africa but closer to home, many people live below the poverty line so it seems kind of greedy or grasping to want more than our 'fair share'.

And some of us decide therefore that if we commit to invest in property, create a portfolio of shares or build up our businesses, we must justify this to ourselves by telling ourselves it will enable us to help those worse off.  So our wealth creation is only valid if we keep altruism to the front of our minds.

Wallace Wattles thinks otherwise - he says eat, drink and be merry!

Attractions

It's all very well harping on about the Law of Attraction but once one has manifested a parking space right outside the entrance to the supermarket on seventeen occasions, and even in the pouring rain, it becomes time to get serious and start attracting more meaningful stuff into one's life.  Like erm, you know, like er...

You are Loved. All is Well

 Every day I receive in my in-box my "Daily Abraham Quote" from the teachings of Abraham-Hicks and I thought I'd share today's offering with you below.

If you'd like to sign up to receive these yourself check out the Abraham-Hicks website.

(I just love that daily mantra at the top of every email:  You are loved.  All is well.
 

Nobody else knows your reason for being. You do. Your bliss guides you to it. When you follow your bliss, when you follow your path to joy, your conversation is of joy, your feelings are of joy -- you're right on the path of that which you intended when you came forth into this physical body

All Is Well

Holding Out for a Hero

In recent months I have started going to mass 'religiously' every week.  Jake usually accompanies me which means we go and sit upstairs in the choir stalls which are generally empty and so even though I was on my own this morning, I scooted upstairs and knelt to say a prayer before mass began.

Collecting my thoughts, I closed my eyes and mulled over what to pray for and a bit surprisingly really, I started thinking how nice it would be to have a decent man in my life.  Automatically, I started compiling his specification and was just busy visualising a healthy specimen when I heard someone move into the row behind me and sit down just to the right of me.

I mean, there are at least ten rows of benches in the choir stalls and they were all but resting their chin on my shoulder!

Totally Unique Thoughts

I try not to duplicate here too many of the Totally Unique Thoughts I get from the Universe because I know lots of people receive these now but in terms of  the interest in the Law of Attraction, sometimes they are just too too good not to drop here and mull over. 

By embracing uncertainty with regard to the hows of dream manifestation, Marion, and allowing it, not fearing it, you actually increase my options for blowing your dear, sweet mind.

Yeah, this is good. Really good.

PS  Of course, Marion, when it comes to end results, like love and joy, health and harmony, and "embarrassing" wealth, there need be no uncertainty.

Showing Up With a Teaspoon

I assume it started with a dream, though I don't remember a single scene from it.  I only know that at three o'clock last night I woke up with the same words echoing over and over in my head.

You are showing up with a teaspoon!

I lay there for a while but couldn't get this mantra out of my head and as I started becoming conscious of the phrase on a never-ending loop, I realised exactly what - or who - this was all about.
