It’s June already!  How cool is that? Well, not very cool anymore, as the weather heats up.  Temps have been in the mid 80’s and humidity about 75%, and very pleasant.  I began turning my a/c on a couple of weeks ago.  I love the fresh air, but not the humidity.  I like a fan blowing on me all the time; maybe that’s a menopausal thang.  Yes, when is that going to end anyway???  I’ve been hot flashing for 15 years.  Enough already.

Hey, I snapped a cell phone pic on Saturday as I was driving.  I am not a fan of my full face, no-bangs look, but in the hair-growing-out process I need to keep it out of my eyes.  As soon as the bangs drop below my chin, I can stick my hair behind my ears and be done with it.  As the weather heats up, it is growing faster.  I’ve learned that it keeps it stronger and healthier when I snip the ends every few weeks, and when it’s strong, it grows faster.

Isn’t it funny how that works?  Cutting something because you want more of it?  Cutting hair to keep it long; pruning plants to make them grow; giving in order to receive.  Saturday I went to the big garage sale at The New Way POD (what a blast!) and saw this great lava lamp.  I picked it up and turned to ask how much it was and – not knowing it was in 2 parts – I held on to the base while the top glass part fell to the floor.  Remarkably, the glass didn’t break, but the plastic seal did, so the liquid spilled out all over the floor.  I fully believe that if I break something, it’s mine, and I was going to buy it anyway. It was just a couple of bucks, so I offered twice the amount as a donation to the garage sale cause.  The immediate response was, “Oh no, you don’t have to buy it.  No, that’s too much to give.”

I had to laugh.  Here we are, everyone working on prosperity consciousness, both parties wanting to give and neither party wanting to receive!  Too funny.  And this with just a $5 item.  I wondered where else in our lives do we keep some big, wonderful something from flowing into our experience simply because won’t accept what the Universe is trying to hand us?

I’m pretty good about remembering to keep the flow going, because I know how important it is to let loose of something in order to keep more coming in.  If I don’t accept your gift, then I am stopping your flow and mine.  So the kind and generous thing to do is to let people give you their gifts.  Learn to graciously accept.  Keep it all in the flow.

And what about when people change intentions and break contracts and don’t live up to their part of the bargain?  You will drive yourself crazy if you let yourself get hung up there.  Don’t use what someone else does or doesn’t do as your excuse to introduce resistance into your vibration.  It will only serve to stop your flow.  Remember that you attracted that from them, so clean up your own vibration, let it go and get on with the next step.  Attract something different next time.

I’ve got a new opportunity in every moment to keep attracting what I’ve been attracting, or to attract something new.  It’s my choice.  My choice of what priorities to focus on and what thoughts to think in order to find and maintain that focus.  Sound hard?  That’s just another thought.
