You gotta have faith, faith, faith
I went to bed last night feeling suddenly like my faith was faltering. Those nagging, pestering old doubts coming back to roost in my mind . . . “What are you doing? How are you going to pay the cell bill this month? How could you have spent so much at the grocery store? What if the dog get sick? What if your ideas don’t take off?” And on and on it went. Only I stopped myself a minute or two into it, and made myself think of something positive. It worked, and my restless sleepless state eased away until I was snoozing in no time.
The only problem is that I woke up this morning and immediately my head went there again. My stomach felt upset I was working myself up about all of it all over again. I stopped myself again this morning, leashed up Labrador, and we went for our morning walk. And I slapped a big ol smile and my face and started listing all the things I’m grateful for in my head. Betty, my job, my roomie, that I have a place so close to work and don’t have to get a car, my family, my diploma, my desire to work towards something bigger and greater then my current circumstances. And on and on the list went. When I had gotten my head in a better place, taken a long and loving gaze down at my smiling, trotting Labrador, I was ready to start saying some affirmations.
I know that everyday, and that day by day, in every way, I’m getting better and better.
I am more than I appear to be. All of the worlds strength and power rests in me.
I believe in love and am grateful for all the love and abudance and opportunity I have and continue to attract into my life.
And today’s thought is one last solidification of the belief in what I’m doing, and the faith I have that the universe is going to help me in every way possible to achieve my intentions of life coaching, Duchess and the desire to inspire.
“True fearlessness about money can come only when we are not driven by an insatiable desire for security but have begun living a life driven by passion and purpose, regardless of our specific financial circumstances.”

Taking the dog for a walk – those walks really help, don’t they? I’ve been walking the last couple days with this thought in mind, “The universe is full of magical things, patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper.” Each morning i try to tap into the power of the Universe – sort of through the sun. Like the Ethiopian taxicab driver in NYC who noted that every morning back in his homeland, his family would go outside to feel the early sun. It was a way to connect with life and each other. I understand the essence of this ritual and the desire to honor our core connection with creation. I don’t want to miss out on the daily magic of the Universe. I don’t want to just “get up and go,” racing from my house to the office.
