This has been a week of ups and downs for sure.  Friday was the big mailing day for the March Horizons Magazine, then being excited about the Expo of Heart in Fort Lauderdale last Sunday.   Expo of Heart was a whirlwind.  Named by Lifetime Television as America’s No. 1 Psychic, Fort Lauderdale’s own Michelle Whitedove filled all the seats in the largest speaking event with 225+ people. You can read more about her at this post.  Everyone at Conscious Living Partnership did an outstanding job producing the expo and you’ll hear more about it after everyone winds down from the event.

Monday was a busy day.  I spent the morning preparing some legal documents for friends, powers of attorney, wills, living wills. I bought two new domain dames and created a website for my friend June Brown at www.moonmother8.com.  I had several people stop by on their way back from the expo, dropping off booth banners and displays.  Lucky for them I’d cleaned the day before.   Dennis Hollin stopped by with his visiting mom in tow, and It was nice to just sit to visit awhile after a hectic but fun weekend.

Bernadette Carter with writing partner Julie arrived next.  Since it was their first visit, I had to give them the whole tour.  We walked outside through the trails and you could tell these two are nature gals!  I pointed out my bamboo and mulberry and explained why there were burned out stumps in the west woods, from the fire of June 2003.  We went inside and did the inside tour.  I love spending time with interesting and fun, intelligent women and Bernandette always has information I am interested in.  She and Jules and I sat here maybe just an hour or two but I could have spent twice that long because we were having so much fun.  And she is always giving me business tips, in words I can understand, so I like that.

I love it when I visit with new people or find a new interest that gets me really charged up.  My mind begins getting flooded with all sorts of ideas that I just can’t wait to sit and write down and ponder and develop.  It’s great to discuss something with someone when you share the same intense interest.  It feels like the highest of highs, and I can feel the pure, positive life force energy flow through me.  I was not surprised when at 10pm that evening I fell asleep at my computer, happy, contented, hopeful, but spent.

The next morning I awaken early to get some notes down and do a blog post from my new fresh, excited mind state. I see some emails from someone close to me who is clearly miffed at me over a misunderstanding of miscommunication.   Then half the day is spent going back and forth and in typical fashion, the domino effect begins.  Law of attraction – I get disconnected, I get off center, and I start attracting stuff I don’t want.

Example:  I mailed a deposit in on 2-11-09 with 8 checks in it. I learned yesterday as I was going over my statement, that the deposit never made it to the bank. I emailed and called the eight and asked them to call their bank, ask them to waive the stop payment fee since it was lost in the mail, and to reissue me payment.  I also offered them a 10% discount for calling me the next morning with a credit card number I can process the same day.

And so today they begin to call in and a voice mail tells them the number has been disconnected. I had changed some of my phone services around earlier this week this week on a couple of the lines, but at no point was the line supposed to go dead with a “disconnected” message on it.  ROFL

Here’s their picture: me emailing saying I lost their check and please issue me another.  Fast.  And when they call, my phone number is suddenly disconnected after 24 years *smile*  What were they to think?

It was a hectic day and would add up to not a very good day overall. Monday had been one of my best days in a long while, on many levels, and the next day I attracted a downward spiral from the moment I walked in the office. I’m glad I know to just keep plowing through the paperwork and keep my mind busy and it will move away fairly quickly. I knew that somehow it would all work itself out, even if I had no idea right now how.

About 10pm I decided to try the new home phone number I ordered to see if it was hooked up yet and it was. Some man answered who’d had the number for the past 5 years. I thought, “Ah what did I expect, law of attraction… I hadn’t done anything to take me out of the funk, so why should I expect a good result?” I’d done nothing to resolve it within me, simply moved on to other things to take my mind off it until it passed.

I made a post it note about the situation and placed it on my healing bench to be prayed over. When I did Ho’oponopono on the bench, I did it on the situation as well. I went to bed and woke up and did another Ho’oponopono session, meditated and began my day.

I awoke and called ATT right away and got a tech who totally knew what they were doing and they fixed the phone order for me. No, I did not get the phone number I’d wanted but I managed to reclaim a previous lucky number. Synchronicity to start the day. I love it!

Then I called each of the 8 who had written the checks that were lost. I explained what had happened and why I was seeking duplicate payment. I asked them to all please call their bank to see if the check had cleared, and ask about their stop payment policy. I told them to ask that the stop payment fee be waived, because the phone techs have the discretion to do that for you.

My peeps are the best! None of them got upset. Everyone gave me a credit card number to run. Only one did I not hear back from, and one who would send a check tomorrow. And in the calling, I got 4 new ads and didn’t have to ask for any of them. By noon the phone was back on. All but one of the banks waived their stop payment fee. I learned to never again place a deposit in the mail 🙂

I got so excited about the checks being almost instantly replaced, and the phone being turned back on so quickly, that I fairly breezed through my billing in record time. Record time! By 3:30 pm I was headed to the post office with the month’s invoices.

So this week began wildly fun and creative for me. Then I let it morph into discord and a downward spiral for a day, then a day later managed to remember who I am, return to who I was, and once again turn the worst into the best. Now that’s alchemy.
