Isn't it weird when you are all caught up on the thread and no one is posting? the refresh button on my computer gets all worn out

I started looking at my TM.....what else is going fall into my lap!
That's so cool! And that is such a fabulous deal on those lightbulbs! Way to go

I realize that your positivity is 1000 times stronger than my negativity, and that I have it completely backwards- you are going to rub off on me. So, I'm trying to keep up with the thread this week. Oh, wait, what's that they say about "trying"? I am going to keep up with the thread this week.

And, what's this...love life you speak of? Never heard of it!
Bring it on, I think some oil is good!

About an hour and a half later, ds woke me up, and I realized that I was DREAMING about my intentions. I had been making a very detailed list of all the areas of my life and listing my intentions in each area. Does that still count? I think so!!
That absolutely counts! How wonderful!

Truly wonderful dilemma! And you have really thought about every single factor! Wow! It sounds like you have it pretty figured out already. Exciting!


oops, I forgot I had quoted from last week's thread too :

And speaking of last week, thank you for starting the conversation about LoA and world events, and "bad" things Petersmama. It was interesting to delve into and I enjoyed reading the discourse that everyone participated in.

Um, this post made me laugh so much! Aren't toddlers amazing!

While I've always believed in the "positive thinking" school of thought, all of it in this form is rather new to me. I just made my first treasure map which I loved doing.

I really need some thoughts/advice from you manifesters I am so grateful for any assistance you can provide.

I started a new job last month, which I thought was perfect for me. The reason why is because I studied the organization for many years, and I volunteered for the them. After one month of volunteering, the head told me she had created a position for me, with great hours and some flextime, which is important because I'm a single mom. This job is aligned with my destiny, and I was thrilled to be amongst a group of people whose work I studied as a teenager! I know one can have a certain interest and not be at the right place for that. For example, I took a related job a few years ago, one that I prayed and prayed to get, and it was apparent right away that, even though it was in my area of interest, it was not the right place. But, with this one, since it came to me through volunteering, and rather effortlessly, I thought it was meant to be. Everyone in my life thought it was meant to be because of how everything happened. Remember, I didn't pray for this one in particular because it didn't exist. However, since I arrived, things have not been well. I love the work but my boss, who was great when I volunteered, doesn't seem to like me much at all. She seems very intimidated by me, and I feel that there is some racial tension here. This last point really confuses me, considering she knew I was a person of color when she created the position for me.

OK, so I placed my business card on the "Work" sector of my map. I've read through the entire 2007 TM thread and someone said you may get the job you asked for, but you may be miserable, so it's best to ask for what's best for you and not say anything specific. But, I never "asked" for this job. It just fell into my lap, while doing the work I love! So, now that I'm here, I'm trying to make things better. I didn't mention anything about changing anyone else's behavior, but I placed my card there and wrote affirmations about it being a peaceful work environment and that I and the org are successful in our goals.

It's really important that I figure out what I need to do. Even though this thread is for the 15th-21st, I won't have internet access until next Tues as I'm leaving for business (wish I had a laptop! I put that on my TM). We have a monumental meeting on Monday, April 23 with very important authority figures that I really want to go extremely well. I work for a national non-profit that helps women and children so this is really, really important.

Any ideas, specific affirmations, tips?

TIA!!!
Ebony! I hope that all the advice you have received here has been helpful. I've been thinking about you and sending some peaceful workplace vibes

Anyway, I made two. One turned out to be entirely food based It's in the kitchen and has lots of pictures of food and inspirational quotes about healthy eating. The other is the more general one and is in my bedroom. I'll attempt to take pictures and put them up later.

The food map is very picture heavy but the general map is very word heavy. Last time I did this I put up a lot of pictures but this time I found myself feeling uncomfortable with using pictures of other people. I have one of a woman stretching but that's it. So it's mostly words but that's ok, I like words

My daughter did one with me. She put a picture of a piano because she wants to be a musician and she wrote words about cooking because she wants to be a good cook. So I asked her if she wanted to do anything right now to get those things going and first she ran around the house playing a recorder and a maraca at the same time (oy) and then she cooked noodles for her brother She also put the words "good sleep" on there. I asked if she was having trouble sleeping and she said no, she just needs to get more sleep.

My son told me I didn't have to look for pictures of food because he'd make some for me So he made me a lovely drawing of strawberries, watermelons and blueberries growing in a garden.
I liked your Treasure Map stories and the ones you and your dc did. Cool! Oh, and I wanted to say, my map wasn't based on the Feng Shui bagua at all either. I just felt it was enough of a task to organized my head around all my ideas for the map without having to worry about what went where and colors, etc. I just did what felt good!

I just wanted to add my voice to the chorus of mamas trying to be loving and patient with their terrific toddlers!

I had a conversation today with a male co-worker with a 5 mo, and he started telling me how I should reason : : with my toddler about why he shouldn't run into the road when a car is coming, even though our neighborhood has NO sidewalks so you HAVE to walk in the road and his favorite movie is Cars, where all the cars are friendly and nice (and yes, he ADORES cars, trucks, trains, airplanes, boats......etc!).

I can't wait till his kid is 2. At that point, when he complains about the hair-raising antics of the kiddo, I'll ask him if he tried reasoning with him!

Alrighty, I don't know if this counts as manifesting or not...but it makes a good story in any case

We woke up Sunday morning to this -horrible- metallic banging sound. It was repetitive, loud, and insistent. I was _sure_ it was our hot water heater (it's in the bedroom closet) 'cause that was about where I could hear it the worst. We shut it off at the breaker, and the sound stopped, so I was sure.

I searched and searched for the manual, couldn't find it.

I was up a good part of the night worrying about how we were going to afford to replace it. But I did have the thought to 'intend' a good solution, or that the problem wasn't what I believed it to be.

After my _very_ chilly shower this morning - I heard it again! With the hot water heater off!

I have now learned, much to my amusement, that we apparently have a love-sick woodpecker banging on the metal antenna on the roof right over our bedroom ! I had no idea that they did that! So no worries, just a naive formerly-city girl...

Oh, you silly girl. You don't have to date them all. Just manifest a whole bunch of really great potential men to come into your life so you have an ABUNDANCE to choose from and/or just have fun! You can meet wonderful men in each country you visit, showing you that there are men everywhere that have wonderful qualities that you can appreciate and notice.

Last year, I suddenly started to notice men everywhere. It was literally like I hadn't noticed men in a year and suddenly the men truck broke down in my town and there were cute, single guys everywhere! I met a couple of interesting people online, saw cute men in town and even flirted with a newly single neighbor. I told my friends "It's raining men." And from that, I did have the most wonderful relationship. First, it was just fun to see the beauty and notice men everywhere. Second, it was nice to see there was an abundance of men I was interested in and third, it was nice to choose to date one with whom I had an amazing connection. But it was all very playful and very fun. I had attracted many men into my life....but some of them I never even met, I simply admired their beauty from a far.

It's just a way to be playful and fun. You don't have to date them all, just notice them and allow them to show you how wonderful they are and how you can be attracted to many different and wonderful qualities!!!
After I wrote that before, and I started thinking about it, I realized it's not totally true -- you're absolutely right! There are plenty of guys I've dated or met and had it go nowhere and been totally fine, plus better for the experience! (Hottie McGorgeous being the perfect example -- he was boring and self-absorbed but I SURE had fun lookin' at him! )

I guess I just hate when I get attached and it doesn't work out.

I went through that myself a few weeks ago... the positivity here is SO INCREDIBLE I think it can wipe out even the worst : !! And never be afraid to say ANYTHING! We're all here for each other!!
And by your example, maybe you feel like a dirty rag and we're actually a bucket of Oxi-Clean (which, by the way, is MAGIC)!!

Come on, you gotta have SOMETHIN'

Since we had our yard sale on Saturday and I finished my Treasure Map on Thursday, I am feeling a little like I dont have big concrete projects to think about, which is actually kind of nice. Instead I am going to focus on other intentions this week.

I am patient and love unconditionally dd

I am so grateful for dh and our life together

I have a fun week and feel organized and peaceful

I am grateful for our house and the shelter it gives us

I am grateful that I am allowing abundance into our lives more and more every day


Hey! He looks cute! I say go for it! What about Kal Penn though? Did you see I suggested him for you a while back? ahem?
A little too famous though his bro really is one of my favorite people.

And by the way, when I was pregnant with my first son, my husband made a video of me sitting cross legged in our yard - levitating!! I'm sure that will help me truly manifest this skill some day (in my old age, I hope).

Oh My French Toast! That's hilarious!

I don't have anything much to say but felt the need to stop and say , especially to all the new manifesting mamas!



If I get time later, I'll post something I want to share w/you all.
post #150 of 709
MAmas, Mamas, OMG! So here's what just happened:

DH spoke to the rep for the company that had the lower paying job but cool advancement opportunities, and for some reason, they rescinded their offer. Even though they were offering $10K less than the other job, it was still $5K higher than they wanted to go, and for whatever reason, they decided they no longer wanted to go that high.

So now there is one choice - the job that pays $10K higher! :

DH and I had had a conversation and I said to him, "The Universe will let us know which is the right one - it's going to be clear." It felt like the right one was the lower paying one - neither of us were thrilled about the paycheck, but the growth opportunities were enticing, so much so that we were willing to compromise on salary.

But as we were about to accept the offer, we discovered that they had rescinded it (all of this is happening through headhunters, so is all via a third party that we receive and give information). So wow, the choice is really clear now, isn't it?

When DH first told me I felt bad because I thought that he had really wanted that other job, but he told me that he had been okay with either one - they really are both good companies to work for, both have excellent benefits packages, and he said he did read on their website that there might be opportunities for telecommuting. plus he can study on his own and being at one place all the time (the other one was consulting and he'd have had a different job site all the time), he can get a gym membership and work out on his lunch break like he did at his former job. And that makes him happy. He really is okay with this other place and mamas, I am SO okay with this paycheck.

And the thing is, there could very well be opportunities for growth and advancement in this company, as well (he has now told me), because he could transfer to different projects within the company, etc.).

So what I'm saying is: apparently the Universe had other ideas about which was the right choice, so much so that it eliminated all doubt!

Either that or the wealth and money corner of my treasure Map are so powerful that they overrode everything else
post #151 of 709
Quick question - so how do I work everything into my life that I want to manifest? There is so much - my long-term stuff, weekly stuff, treasure map stuff, etc. Do I decide just focus on some of these things *really* in depth once, then just let it go, knowing the universe will provide? Other things I feel the need to focus on daily like good sleep and health. Other things might work well into daily activities like focusing on a healthy weight right before I eat food. And then there's the dozens of images on my treasure map. Do I choose certain things I focus on every day at the same time? Help, I'm going

I'm just feeling so empowered and overwhelmed at the same time by all my manifesting! I'm manifesting all over the place, and I'm guessing I'm not alone!

I turn some over to the Universe completely. I might think about it but then I'll just remember that the Universe is handling that one.

Others I *really* focus on.

I know what you mean about feeling : though!

I manifested one of my Spirit Guides recently and here's a post I made tonight over there on the Spirit Guide thread:

Quote:
I have been getting lots of messages from Black Bear recently but this is so profound, I thought I'd share.

THis weekend my neighbors died. They owned a small plane and flew a lot. They both died in a plane crash along w/their niece. I did not know their niece but I knew them and well, today I'm kind of having a hard time accepting this.

I took a bike ride a few minutes ago past their house (they're on the way out of our subdivision) and went down the street behind them. I said a little prayer as I was riding. As I turned on to the street behind them Black Bear said, "They're in the wind." At that moment it got windy, really windy for here, and all the wind chimes on the houses on the right hand side of the street started ringing. I had never noticed that so many people owned wind chimes.

Thank you Black Bear.
I'm feeling kind of : about all of this. On one hand, I *know* they are well. I know they have chosen and are where they need to be.

On the other hand, I'm grieving and part of me really wants to *get into it* - - I know this is ego talking but geesh. I really *don't* want to feel crappy yk?

Anyway, I felt the need to share w/you all.
post #154 of 709
Wow about dh's job chasmyn! That is powerful and it sounds like dh is really okay about it all which is a huge plus!! Congrats!!

Terri, your experience was amazing!! I kind of know how you feel about wanting to grieve -- you feel as though you *should*, and the human part of you of course will miss the physical presence if you were close to the folks -- that was crazy cool about your spirit guide though!! Maybe you can schedule some grieving? I mean that sounds odd but maybe you can plan on a few moments where you sit with yourself and with their memory, send up a prayer or whatever you feel comfortable doing or saying or thinking of them --- cry a bit if you feel the need -- then release it and go on in joy... I dunno if that is something you would feel like doing but I have done that in similar situations --


Andrea -- it is overwhelming isn't it!! What I do is basically focus on the *big* picture, then hone in on the things which bring about the biggest and most powerful feelings of joy and of happiness and gratitude...

For instance your *big picture* may be focusing on abundance and happiness in all areas working to the greatest good of you and all you dwell with -- then let your spirit/mind/heart wander where it likes... I spend a lot of time in what I call *daydreaming with a purpose* which is basically visualization and meditation -- but like some people, sometimes when I hear the words *visualization and meditation* I get feelings like it has to be some deep, spiritual, life-changing experience and I get stuck.... of course, sometimes it totally is that experience, but if I term it *daydreaming with a purpose* it seems more casual to me and I am able to let my mind create the most awesome scenarios and manifestations.

One of my manifestations has come to pass already! I have been focusing on more romance with dh and we had an amazing time at the beach yesterday .... and tonight he brought me home the most beautiful bouqet of flowers!! I was so happy because flowers aren't a regular thing around here let's put it that way Dh is wonderful -- but it's common with marriage, children, life ... some of the romance stuff of yore sort of gets lost in the mix... but that was such a wonderful surprise and so nice!!!!

You know, it's very human to grieve. I think it's important to remember that it's for YOU that you are grieving, not for THEM.

You are the one who will no longer have the benefit of their company in the way you have become accustomed. Unlike they, who can easily and immediately be in your company.

I think it's great you had this amazing opportunity to make a choice (always nice to have choices) and then the universe made it really clear for you (because it's nice to have choices, but it can be awfully hard to make a decision!)

Terri, I have heard the same thing....when you allow yourself to fully grieve, just cry or scream or whatever, for a set period of time, it doesn't consume you like when you just try to go about your daily life.

Put on comfy pj's, get in bed with Steel Magnolias, cry cry cry, and then go about the rest of your day. Repeat as needed!

And that is some good advice about "daydreaming with a purpose"....I'm not very good at meditating, but dang if I ain't a whiz at daydreaming!

Chasmyn: What a great story! I love how easy it is once we allow things to happen!

Celesterra: Hope you feel better soon. Stomach bugs are not fun. Um, Until now..... right? :

Annikate: What a wonderful experience! And I am sorry for the loss of your neighbors .
I can't wait to hear more about your classes!




I am still waiting for the money to appear in my front yard just like the glue! Although when I said that to dh, he said if we found 5 million in our front yard we would have to give it back. What a spoilsport

Tomorrow I have to take my toddler back to have the staples taken out of her head. She is so awesome. She did such a great job with the staples. She never complained once and was really careful with her "Owie head".

Hey everyone, I'm crashing back into the group because I need some feedback.

Long story short is that dh company was bought out and we just found out last week they are restructuring pay which will result in a huge loss of income for us. He hasn't been too happy there since the change anyway but this is the last straw. The same day we found this out (last week) he got his trade magazine in the mail with a wonderful job listed in Seattle. It immediately felt like a sign, as we have past ties to the city and have always loved it. Ever since then we both have been feeling we need to move there. Even though we just relocated 4 months ago and we do not have the money in the bank to move again.

I'm the logical one usually saying "you need to find a job first" but I have been feeling like we just need to get there no matter what. We have 2 months until the new pay schedule goes into effect. He did send in his resume for the job that was listed and he has spent the last week networking and checking out work opportunities ect.

It's so bizarre because I have been really liking it here up until the last week and now I feel I'm totally in the wrong place. We are both feeling the same things also. In fact he doesn't even want to look for work locally but my logical side says he should "just in case". Maybe I should give up the "just in case" though and put all the effort into the move?

I need some guidance. On the one hand I know what I need to do, but I guess I need someone else to confirm it

Other things I feel the need to focus on daily like good sleep and health. Other things might work well into daily activities like focusing on a healthy weight right before I eat food. And then there's the dozens of images on my treasure map. Do I choose certain things I focus on every day at the same time? Help, I'm going

I'm just feeling so empowered and overwhelmed at the same time by all my manifesting! I'm manifesting all over the place, and I'm guessing I'm not alone!
First, relax.

When you aren't offering any resistance, then everything that you want is coming toward you. So, use your feelings as a guide to what you do/think about. If the action or thought feels good, then continue it, if it doesn't, then switch to something that does feel good.

There isn't a right way and a wrong way to manifest, there is just what feels like good to you today.

On one hand, you don't have to keep asking for the same thing over and over. Think of it like a resturant. You place your order, and then just assume that they will bring it to you when it is ready.

At the same time, thinking about how great it will be can be a lot of fun, so just have fun with it. Thinking about why you want something can help lessen your resistance to it, and therefore help bring it towards you.

DH and I had had a conversation and I said to him, "The Universe will let us know which is the right one - it's going to be clear."
Congrads!
