Official Treasure Map --2008 - Page 18

Something that occurred to me after I hit enter. Part of my map is to actually decorate my home which is something I never find time to do because it always needs cleaning and I am just to busy. My SIL suggested on MOnday that I set aside a day just for that every once in a while and this is silly I know but that never occurred to me before.

I checked it out (half heartedly).

You need a user name and password. I thought I created one fore everyone to use - but you need to use an email address as the user name. Bummer.

Goodcents,
I just went to the link and watched FEELING MOTIVATED TO EXERCISE and I really liked it. I already did Kill The cravings... and have not eaten either item and it has almost been 2 weeks.

I think it is worth the email address and user name... at least that is me.

Totally babe. I did register to check it out. What I tried to do was to create a user name and password for everyone here to use to make it easier for everyone who wanted to view it.

But alas I was unsuccessful, the user name is the email address which in this instance is my personal email.

[Tracy]

Goodcents.

I just created an email account with Gmail.

Will you go to Paul's sight and log on with it and see if it can be the TreasureMap Weight Loss Team user account.

here's the email account:

that's great! yay you!

i'd been really.... struggling the past few days. i had such an amazing run going with really drastically different attitudes, and o-time came, and it all just... vanished. well, i took some time to really... organize... our de-cluttered stuff. we live in a very small space, so while we have very little, it can look like a lot... and it's already been hot hot hot, and i realized that in summer, i need more... white space, so to speak. anyhow-- de-clutter organized, and hey-- energy returned. obviously, that's partly hormonal, but still.... just my reminder that even de-cluttered clutter can block energy just by sitting there, rather than being put away!

I just wanted to say that TM helped to pick up my mood yesterday. DP didn't get a job we were really hoping for, so I was feeling really dissapointed, but just looking at TM lifted my moods up, which is in itself is a great thing, I didn't realize it will work this way.

Anyone else knows what I'm talking about?

I know just what you mean. I've been looking at my TM everyday and feeling so...certain and comfortable.

my TM isn't manifesting in any of the amazingly obvious ways that people have been posting about (which are awesome btw).

however, there are signs - one of my affirmations was, I hear and listen to my intuition - since then I've definately been more aware of and connected to my intuitive voice in ways I've never been before.

[MamaMonica]

Oriole, I know what you mean, too.

Anyone not want to show their map to anyone? I feel very private about mine this year- very vulnerable to it being seen. It's on my closet so family sees it-- that's OK but I don't want anyone else to.

Sometimes I feel people don't want me to change or be myself- and I need to protect myself.

[GoldBerry]

MamaMonica~ I do not share my TM. I'm a private person and it feels right to keep it to myself. I think you have to respect your own feelings on this.

[aweynsayl]

yay! mine's here! (i ordered a print of my digital map) i'm hoping to feel that... calm, centered, wonderfulness from looking at it! i totaly did last year. i would look at it and meditate... much of my meditating last year happened in front of my map. i already feel better, knowing it will be hanging and working soon!

i know what you mean about sharing-- actually, thank you, because i'd posted it on my photos page to share here and with a couple friends, but forgot to take it down before any family (read: in laws) saw it. just did that. phew!

[Devaskyla]

I think I'm finally finished. I did most of it on the morning of the 10th, but I was still having trouble finding images and then we had to go to my mom's, where I couldn't do any more work on it. I never did find images to completely go with what I wanted for a couple things, so I kind of compromised a bit for images. Hopefully it won't matter.

[Maiasaura]

devaskyla, i LOVE it! it's so....clean! mine is much more cluttered. maybe it reflects the clutter that's still in my life, LOL.

i still have some finishing touches to do on my map. it's almost done. i haven't been able to work on it continuously like last year, because of my class. my skills test is tuesday, though, and i'll be studying and practicing like mad this weekend. i am going to fit some time in to get this map DONE. it feels like procrastination, but it really isn't. wish me luck on the test and i'll find a way to post my map when it's done!

[Neva]

I'm seeing so much movement in my map, mostly in the areas of abundance and family.
A lot of my map focuses on my own spirituality, something which I havebeen very unsure of for a long time and this is really coming in quickly and fully. I know I will always be constantly learning and exploring my own spirituality but this is just such a huge start and fully step in the right path for me. One of my unkknown picutres on my map is a crocus breaking through the snow. I now know why it is there. It reflects a few things, anger as a real emotion (I'm a bottler) and the constructive purpose of anger as well as the learning process I'm going though right now.

some really interesting things this weekend from my map! i love when things you thought you'd put on for one reason manifest something totally different. i'm all dizzy from it right now, but i am sure feeling some energy! i'd been thinking once the full moon hit that crazy aries energy would... calm down... but not so far!

Amazing isn't it I had this happen with almost my entire map last year, nothing manifested the way I had intended but it was such an amazing and transformational year for me.

ds1(6) is very excited that his map is working so quicky this year, he has lots of water on it and a turtle diving into the sea that he painted. Out of the blue he got a space at a private pool last week for a weeks swimming lessons ( he had a bad experience with a teacher last year and hasn't wanted to swim for a while) he wanted to go, loved it, is swimming without floats, learnt to dive and swim under water and he now has a regular weekly lesson with her. He is so excited about it all and is sure it is because of all the water he has on his map

So.... my last TM included a lot of intention focused on growing my home business. I make beeswax balms and sell them through etsy and I wanted to reach out to more suppliers and really contribute more to the family finances. Anyway, several opportunities did manifest but they just didn't "feel right". Each time I'd get involved and carry through but I'd feel... I don't know exactly, but not good about the situation. So this TM I didn't include anything about my balms. I figured I'd let that sit for a while and focus my energy on other things.

Well, I was told over the weekend that there is a large vendor interested in buying stock from me. We could really use the money, and there is a certain "financial stability" theme in my map this year but again... the situation doesn't "feel right". What do you all think? Should I just walk away from this, trusting that if it doesn't feel right it probably isn't? Or is the message that I need to pursue this past my comfort zone in order to achieve some of the goals I've set? I'm just confused, and I wasn't expecting anything further on the "balms" front this map...

that is usually enough for me. But what makes it not feel right?

[wombatclay]

I wont go into too much detail but my mother and I really do not agree on parenting philosophies. Recently she has been a lot more "vocal" about what she feels is a lack of respect on my part (due to my not following her parenting guidance in regards to dd1 and 2) and I have cut down on the amount of contact she has with my family/my daughters (she lives nearby). The store that is interested in purchasing balms is owned by her brother and I feel like this is an attempt to sort of "get control" over our family.

Kind of paranoid, I know, but the thought is there. And while I do understand "where she is" right now (my dad has a condition similar to Alzheimer's, she is older but working so they have medical benefits, they have to move after 30+ years on their farm because the surrounding fields were purchased by a CAFO for waste dumping, and she grew up in an abusive family with while she has fought to break free of those issues she has, in recent years, sort of given up)... well, this is my little family and we're doing things differently (AP/nat fam living) and she wont respect that.

Ok, sorry, that was a bit more info than I planned. But anyway, I sort of move back and forth between this being an opportunity to improve our financial health and a "Run Screaming" from an unhealthy family scenario. I agree that usually when it feels wrong it is wrong... I just wondered if maybe this was a nudge for me to step past the "family history" and start fresh? But the more I think about it, the more I think I should pass this by.

[aweynsayl]

clay~ the more i experience in this life, the more i firmy believe gut is always right. go with it.

fsm~ it really is astounding. i'm less dizzy today, but still... in awe. i love your ds's map! my 2 yr old ds loved it too, i remember! he adores honu (his nana went to maui, and he's been obsessed with them ever since!). yay for him! what a great lesson to learn so young!

[Tracy]

I usually go with gut.

but I do have a question...can't you and your uncle have a separate business relationship where it does NOT include your mom?
