It’s been raining a few days.  It’s 3:00am and I’m sitting in the office with the windows open, listening to a gentle rain drip off the leaves outside.  It’s 71 degrees, the windows are open to the night air and I can smell the jasmine in the courtyard.  I love being awake in the middle of the night time when everyone around me is sound asleep.  It’s a time I sit and contemplate how good my life is.  It’s a time I bring to mind my friends, advertisers and clients as I pray for them as part of my spiritual practice –> here are my altar and healing bench techniques. It’s also a time I daydream about my partner while he sleeps soundly nearby. It’s one way I stay connected to him when we don’t spend waking time together. 

My work/sleep has me up and down in erratic schedule, so often I am waking up as he’s going to bed.  We connect all through the day but don’t always get to visit in the flesh, both awake, for the evening hours.  Although the other night we sat and watched The Blues Brothers movie together!  We chat lots more often than we watch tv.  We chat about astrology and what the planets are doing each day, we talk about the projects we’re working on, what we’re eating, we share a meal, we visit, we chant, we walk the property.

So when I’m up alone in the middle of the night and missing him — and knowing better than to wake him! — I spend time thinking about him and bringing to mind all the things I like about him, the goofy things he says, how he inspires me in my work and in my spiritual practice.

Too often in the past I’ve focused on work to the exclusion of everything (and everyone) around me.   I’ve lost partnerships with good men because I spent so much time away from them that I basically lost interest in anything but the project du jour.  Investing emotional energy into a relationship was never a priority for me.

I’ve mellowed with age. I’m a far cry from the type A workaholic personality I was for years.  I take lots more time to stop and smell the roses now.  My client load may be the same but now it’s evolved into all my most favorites, so it’s hardly like work.  I could increase business revenue by making sales efforts, but everything is fine as it is now so I’m not motivated to change it.  I have friends I’d like to spend more time with but I’m happy hanging with the boyfriend just chatting.  I often opt for time alone at home rather than going anywhere.  I’m someone who enjoys my own company. I’ve never had an issue with dining alone. I always have interesting topics quequed awaiting thought-time, and free thought-time happens when I am alone.

That’s the secret for staying connected to anything, you know — give it positive thought time.  Keep your attention on it.  Contemplate it.  Recall past incidents of it.  Envision future involvement. That’s how you reach vibrational match with it, and vibrational matching is law of attraction at work.
