I used to not pay my bills on time because I didn’t have the money. Then I didn’t pay them on time because they got lost in the shuffle of my other priorities. Then one day I woke up and realized I’m the one in charge of how much money I make and what I set as priorities. Now I do what it takes to make what I need to pay the bills I have and have the fun I want.
Fake it til you make it? Faking happiness is a valid roadway in
A friend wrote: “I used to be a carefree happy person. Now, I really don’t know how to be happy without faking it.” FAKING IT IS A VALID ROADWAY INTO IT. You don’t fake it to lie to yourself or anyone. You fake it because you know the sorrow and the horror comes to pass, it does not come to stay. Unless we keep ourselves focused on it. Yes, it’s hard not to focus on an emotional pain you feel so intensely, but you can choose to hold your concentration on other thoughts. It’s a minute by minute, hour by hour practice but it can be done. I promise .

An opportunity is never missed, it always comes back around
Again and again and again.
I did a reading for a friend who was concerned she’d missed an opportunity to lease the home she wanted. When she called back 2 days after seeing it, it had been rented. I told her there was a reason for that and that an opportunity is never missed; it always comes back around. I predicted another home in the same community was not on the market yet but within 5-6 days would be and it would be more suited her needs. She called the listing agent and learned there was. Opportunity is never missed. It always comes back around.
Most people talk about what other people talk about rather than what they experience
I just got an email from yet another person who purports to “channel the same Abraham that Esther Hicks does.” One glance at their work tells me that’s not remotely true. We know what people know when we hear what THEY have to say — not when they are parroting someone else’s words. I find most people talk about what other people talk about rather than what they know from experience. By their fruits we shall know them. My intuition and common sense all help me discern the quality of the fruits I come across. I don’t eat just any apple that falls in my path. More importantly, I say to them: Your own life experience and the lessons you learn are vastly more fascinating than anyone you might want to emulate or any story you can come up with.
“In theory there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice there is.” Yogi Berra
This guy had some wacky zingers but this is one that makes sense. I have friends whom I’ve talked about meditation with for decades. They can discuss for hours but can’t sit to meditate for 10 minutes.

I signed up for ObamaCare and must have fallen in the sweet spot
Healthcare.gov. I have no complaints whatsoever. I signed up last week. I must fall into all the right categories with age and income because mine is only $25 a month, with providers two miles away, low deductibles and affordable out of pocket maximums. I was happy to get a plan for $25 a month. I’m 61, no health issues, take no medication, eat a healthy diet and exercise daily. The plan has doctors 2 miles away, low deductible, low total out of pocket. The website was easy to navigate. I got dental for $10 a month, the providers are one mile away. I’m stoked. My boyfriend got the same, we’re the same age, both self employed, numbers about the same, we must fall into the magic place. A friend complains loud and long about it being “unaffordable” yet if they had their income ON the books, they would qualify for a giant credit and it would cost them about $30 a month. I have no complaints whatsoever.I realize I’m in control of what I attract, according to my belief and expectation. I’m not being flippant when I say I expect it all to work out in the end and if it doesn’t, it’s not the end and I have more time to turn it all around.
Don’t complain about the government if you don’t vote and you hide income
A friend complains loud and long about the “unfair” government and “unaffordable” ACA health insurance, yet if they had their income ON the books, they would qualify for a giant credit and it would cost them about $30 a month. Don’t complain about the government if you don’t vote and you work off the books to hide income. There are legal ways to pay less taxes — don’t go to extremes by assuming that you have to cheat and lie about income. If you really want to get out of debt and make money, you need to be as honest as possible.

So we were looking at rings today…
Mood rings, that is! I got this one with a dolphin on it. I’ve always liked these quirky rings, and now I know how they work. I thought you might like to know as well. I got it at The Herb Corner for $1.50 when I went in for some En-Balance Hormone Balancing Blend capsules for the hot flashes. I want to see what color it turns when I flash! How do mood rings change color? Liquid crystals are the secret to the mood ring’s changing array of colors. The clear glass stone in the ring is either filled with the liquid crystals or sits directly on top of a thin layer of the substance that has been adhered to a sterling setting. Continue reading
Friday night under the lights!
Q: Are we boring because we sit around on Friday night singing songs to the cat rather than going out drinking and partying?
A: No, that’s what it’s all about.
