A friend just emailed me that things are turning around for him, and he’s got a job interview for the first time in months.  Him having the interview scheduled shows that he’s finally vibrating in harmony with a new job.  If this isn’t the one, that’s ok, this is a signpost on the way to the one 🙂

I have come to drag you out of yourself and take you in my heart.
I have come to bring out the beauty in you,
and lift you like a prayer to the sky. – Rumi

I’m happily paying bills these days. On bigger accounts, I always pay at least the minimum balance plus the finance charge to make sure I stay ahead. I basically pay as much as I can on everything that I’m not paying off that month. I’m so glad someone turned me onto that habit years ago.  I used to not pay bills on time because I didn’t have the $. Then I’d pay them late because I was too lazy or busy to do it on time. Then I discovered that I’m in charge of how I think and act. When I began happily paying bills on time, suddenly I always had the money to do it. Nice how that works, huh?

My friend Miro Posavec wrote on Facebook, “Years ago, I had a client. She went blind two years after becoming an architect. I asked her if she was angry or frustrated about losing her life’s vocation. Her response: “I was able to accomplish my dream. How many people do that? Now, I get to discover a new dream, and start over.” Whenever I get whiny, I think of her. Brilliant lady with a fantastic attitude. She’s blind, and I can’t see…. “

My vest and tie

This morning I’m sewing a vest that I’ve designed and the fabric is a beautiful chiffon that is very fragile to work with.  I have to hem the edge as soon as I cut it, or else it unravels easily.  I have friends like that, too.  No matter how gently I handle them, they can fall apart in my hands if I’m not careful.  I used to walk on eggs with them, staying careful.  Now I steer clear and everyone is happier.  So why sew with chiffon at all? Because the result is so worth it. Kinda like that one pesky pal, you gotta decide what’s worth it and what’s not.
