Christy’s Blog

There is so much going on in my pretty little head it is making me tired today. After much high energy the past few days I am feeling a little down today. I woke with an upset stomach and haven’t seemed to shake it today, except now it feels like a nervous stomach.

Over the past several weeks I have been gobbling up anything by or with Abraham-Hicks. What delicious stuff! Back in June I started with “The Secret” by Rhonda Bryne. I knew Abraham-Hicks had something to do with the making of “The Secret” but only recently discovered them. I have been asking Source to give me the words to share my experiences with others but as you can read, I don’t think I have the answer yet. I feel like rambling though so that is what I am doing here today.

I watched Esther Hicks on YouTube.com today with several uplifting clips with Abraham speaking through her. If you don’t know who I am speaking of, go to Abraham-Hicks.com and look around. They have a free 74 minute free audio that explains it all.

What Abraham teaches about our physical life here is so amazing and it rings true for me. I feel so good hearing their words. The love that we have around us all the time from the “other side” is amazing. I know because when my dad died I opened myself up to it. I would have died myself or really made my physical body sick if I had not opened up, surrendered, allowed, or whatever you want to call it. The “other side” told me I was okay, they told me that my dad was okay and so was my family.  That love and message changed my life!

The thing I am having trouble with is surrendering now. About 10 months after my dad’s death (he passed away to the other side on Jan. 29, 2004, four years ago) I seemed to have closed that connection. Without having some terribly emotional thing take place, how do I conjure up the right emotion everyday to continue that amazing state of creativity, love, surrender, peace, safety and security and so much more? If you have ever felt it you know what I am talking about. You can do anything without a second thought. You look at people who express doubt and wonder how they can question, because there is no question, you are getting everything you want without effort.

I am deliberately intending and I am lifting my emotions.  I feel my vibration lifting my higher and higher.  Yesterday I could feel my vibration.  Can you lift your vibration too high?

Well, I am continuing to ponder these questions.  I intend this to be a day of great growth and an incredible connection to the other side as they answer my questions as I know they will.

All is well!

As I revealed last week I know what my life purpose is.  I have been watching the signs and proof of it be revealed to me daily.

I sketched a pic of the building I want to house the foundation I want run/create/work at. I can see the building in my mind quite clearly and I know the building is here in my town.  After sketching the building I discovered the building (or one that looks just like it if it is not the perfect one that God has in mind).  I feel good that is the one.  The building is within a mile of my current business and I hope to keep both going together.

I am not sure of the message I received this morning.  I am not focusing on it too much and the Universe will play out the final result.  The for sale sign on the building now has a “pending” sign on it.  Could the perfect building (or what appears to be) sell to someone else?

I am not attached to that building and maybe that is not the “perfect” building.  I am waiting for the next sign and money to purchase the perfect building.

Speaking of money, I did get another sign as I walked out of a local store  on Monday I  was staring at a flyer  with  “FREE MONEY” a crossed the top.  I quickly grabbed it up.  This is a phrase I have been repeating and I can only take it as a sign.  I am now looking into the info and waiting to see if it is legit.  There are two phone numbers to call but no website or any other contact info.  I called the number and left a message.  I know they write grants.  That is all I know so far.

Funny thing is I have been thinking about grants and looking into the process.  I will see where this message leads.  It could be a message that I am looking down the wrong road at this time.

No matter what I will be posting my progress here as I intend and manifest my purpose and create the life I want now.

Does anyone know anything about grants?

Best Wishes!

On Monday I was visiting a local store and noticed

Pennies … do you respect your pennies?

I think I am having a penny dilemma. I have always respected the penny. I think pennies are as important as all the other coins in the Universe. When I hear news articles about dumping the penny I am “outraged”.  The penny is important in our system, it has it’s place.  If we lose the penny everything will be more expensive, right

The dilemma is am I in need of a change in my thinking. I think I am keeping myself in a penny pinching attitude because I am holding so tight to the value of a penny.

I feel good when I find a penny on the street or even in the couch. I know I am not rich but I always think they are a symbol for something else. Just his morning I received an email from a friend about pennies being from Heaven, actually from Angels. When an angel wants to let you know they are there, or they want to make you smile they leave a penny. More positive reinforcement for the penny, right?

Last week I read an article by Erin Pavlina titled See a Penny, Pick it Up. Erin says that when you pass by a penny you are telling the Universe that you don’t need money or accept money in your life. Respect the penny, pick up pennies and be thankful for them. Sounds great!

Okay, I have been accepting pennies, I collect them, my husband has a bucket he throws all his change into and a couple times a year he rolls it and gets $20 or $30 to buy a dinner or a few beers. Is this limited thinking?

Again, those Pavlina’s get your thinking … Steve Pavlina wrote a post about Contribution and Quality this week. Steve points out that we get what we pay for and when we are thinking frugally we get a cheap life (those are not his words, read his post to get the full meaning, it is a great article).

I have been very proud of my frugality these past few years. When I started this blog I was considering sharing all the great things I have discovered I can do without spending a dollar. Interestingly enough, in two months of blogging I have not blogged once about bargain shopping. In fact my thoughts have switched over to abundance. I have changed my attitude completely and I am now shopping for brand new cars, clothes, computers, furniture, etc.

Steve points out that I have been stuck in a world of scarcity because of the thoughts in my head. I have been playing the “outrage script” in my head. I have been outraged when I hear of a movie starlet purchasing a purse for $2,000 (or was it $20,000?). “Do you know what I could do with $2,000?”, is what would go through my mind. Then I would discuss my disgust with my family, friends or anyone that would listen.

It is funny how the Universe works.  The day that Steve posted that article I was getting a message that I need to stop thinking frugally, I needed to think about purchasing $20,000 purses, shoes, or anything because I could if I wanted to.  I then received Steve’s article and reinforced the message.  Wow!

So, back to the tiny dilemma.  Are pennies abundance thinking or scarcity thinking?  I agree that accepting them is a good thing.  Pick them up and feel good about it.  I think I am going to give up the “Save the Penny” campaign though.  I will be indifferent on that front for now.  Years ago, maybe 100 years ago, we had a hay penny or half penny.  It was retired.  All good things must come to an end I guess.  What will be will be.

I don’t know if I solved my dilemma but I know I am changing my thinking.  Here are my new positive thoughts on money and abundance. I am accepting pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, dollars of every denomination into my life.  I am an abundant thinker and I am grateful for all the abundance and joy in my life.  I am contributing to the world and creating value for others.

Penny … how about a nickel … for your thoughts?

I have been using the law of attraction and my life is getting better everyday!  It is so amazing and exciting when you see it working in your life.  If you are skeptical here is some proof.

About two weeks ago I blogged about b5media’s new music channel.  (They have a long list of blogs about music, something for every music lover!)  b5Media offered a contest. Everyone who blogged about the new music channel was entered into a random drawing to win an iPod and several other prizes.

Over the past couple weeks I have thought about the opportunity to win an iPod and I have assured myself that I AM a winner and I would be winning something from that contest.  I just knew in my heart that I would win.

This morning upon checking my emails I received confirmation from Shai Coggins at b5Media that won a Memorex MP3 Player!!  I am so excited!  I am a winner!

In the past I would have not even entered because I would have listened to that negative voice inside that tells my I am loser.  I don’t hear that voice much anymore, when I do I tell it it is wrong.  I am a winner!

Thank you Shai, b5Media and the Universe!!  You made my day!

I have been meditating again for about a month now. I didn’t write down when I started but I know I have been doing it for several weeks. I have not meditated regularly in three years.

Three years ago I used meditation to get me through a very difficult time in my life. I achieved many great things during that time and I felt God’s love around me every minute. I had lost my dad in January of 2004 and the pain of loss at times was over bearing. The mediation didn’t take away the hurt I felt for my loss but it help me understand it and opened me up to the miracles that happen everyday. I heard God’s message that I would be okay. I didn’t know how I was going to get through each hour at that time but it didn’t matter because I knew God told me I was going to be okay so I breathed and dreamed and achieved.

A few month ago I wondered out loud why that difficult time brought me so close to God. Would I have to go through such difficult times to feel that close again? Why can’t I feel that close to God always? I loved the feeling I had of being close to God. No one could hurt me and people wanted to give me things.
Over the past few months God brought me my answers. I have been directed to many books including the Bible and I was directed to meditate again. I am understanding now that at the time of my loss I opened up my heart and my life to God without question. I listened to everything he said. I followed God in everything I did. I meditated and God answered every question. I knew he would. I believed he was in control and he was, I lived minute to minute. I couldn’t do it on my own so I handed it to God and knew he would get me through. But when I started to feel better I stopped meditating, I continued to pray but I stopped knowing that God was taking care of everything. How can you stop knowing, you ask. If you don’t really accept the knowing or understand it it just happens.

I know today that I can have everything I want because God wants me to have it. God knows I am a courageous, strong person (and so do I). He wants me to have my hearts desire today and when I am going through tragedy or loss. He wants us all to have everything we want. I am in awe of my personal growth. I am amazed at the progress these past few months have taken me.

I can tell you about it and you can be amazed at my story. Maybe you want the same for you. All you have to do is open you heart to God. Surrender you life and ask for the path to take you to abundance of love and riches. God has it all and he wants you to have it too. There is enough for everyone. God is making more riches, more love, more happiness every minute. There is no lack all you have to do is believe.

If you would like to start meditating there are many ways to do it. Find what works best for you and do it everyday. My recent growth came from a book I read recently and plan to blog about soon. I visited blog today with 8 Steps From Meditation to True Contemplation. It will help you get started on your path today!

Enjoy your life now!
