Let your dominant intent be…

Let your dominant intent be to feel good which means be playful, have fun, laugh often, look for reasons to appreciate and practice the art of appreciation. And as you practice it, the Universe, who has been watching you practice, will give you constant opportunities to express it. So that your life just gets better and better and better.

I LOVE having a morning where I start off appreciating things

This just tickled my funny bone this morning and I am still giggling about it.

I am the “kid’s clothes folder” in the house due to the fact that the boys are so close in size that Steve can’t tell the clothing apart. Well the lack of clothes folding on my part hit critical mass this morning

Stephen came down and said, “Mom, you really need to fold the clothes! I don’t have pants again!” I apologized and told him that I would get him a pair when dad got up as the basket is at the bottom of my bed and has been for about a week. I have been snagging what is needed on an as needed basis. I KNOW it needs to be done, but I just haven’t been motivated

Well… Jonathan came into the room and Stephen says to him “So you don’t have any pants either!” and Jonathan says, “I do have pants, but I don’t have any underwear!!” ROFL Okay, so I guess the laundry folding needs to be done today!

Other appreciations include:

Cool crisp morning weather - Oh, how I love North Carolina. It is almost the end of November and the kids are fine running around outside without coats.

Kids who start off the day being super nice and kind to each other.

Sirius Radio and the light Jazz station.

24 minute meditation sessions.

Bright sunny days.

And the list goes on…

Today is going to be a fabulous day!

I think this was one of the quickest hot seat segments I have ever seen Very quick and to the point basically saying if you are following your bliss and loving life, you are are on the right track. Quit overthinking it all

Why Does The Chicken Cross The Road?

Abraham Answers:

Gotta love that laugh! Talk about total JOY!

Abraham has been talking quite a bit lately about how manifestations are just indicators of vibrations that you have going on. I had multiple, simple, manifestations within the last 24 hours which have caused me to stop and comtemplate what exactly I have been feeling as of late. I am determined to get this vibrational discord under control before it gets to be something bigger and harder to get back into alignment.

Within the last 24 hours:

Yesterday, I hit a traffic light outage on a heavily trafficked road during rush hour on my return home. It took a very long time to actually get across the road. Dinner was being cooked at home and I knew that Steve would probably be a bit irritated at me for how long it was taking me to get home. My daughter ended calling and asking me where I was. There was nothing I could do about it other than to sit and be patient and listen to my friend Abraham. Luckily the dog (I had picked her up from Doggy Day Care) was doing okay, though I do think she had her legs crossed by the time I got home

This morning, on my way to work, the traffic, leading up to the same stop light, was not moving at all. The journey that normally takes about 6 minutes took about 30 minutes. I was trying to get to the doggy day care to drop off the dog and then head into work earlier than normal due to the computers going down overnight causing me to not be able to process orders from home like I usually do before the ladies arrive in the morning. I started getting impatient about it all and had to talk myself into a better place. “I know the dog is going to make it because I took her out before I got her in the car” “Good thing there are fewer orders than normal due to the holiday coming up - They are really efficient at work and do a great job. This delay isn’t the big hairy deal that I am working it into.” By the time I got to the light, I was feeling less stressed about it all. Turns out that they got the light “fixed” from last night, but failed to fix the timing on it. The light went green, allowed about 3 cars through, and then went red again. I think I made it through on the tail end of a yellow.

This afternoon, my husband called me from the carpool line asking me where I was. “At work, of course” I replied. He then went on to remind me that I had promised SJ that I would be at school at 1pm for a special presentation his class was having and I had totally forgotten because I had gotten involved with a project I was working on. That took a bit of travelling up the emotional scale to get out of the guilt area I dumped myself in. After talking with SJ after I got home, I realized I had been making a big hairy deal out of it but he didn’t and wasn’t really upset about it all. Maybe a little disappointed, but he understood what had happened (he’s 7) and then went on his merry way (gotta love the way kids can do that!).

And finally, I had to meet my husband at the physical therapy place right after school so he could drop Jen off after school for her appointment. I am only about 6 minutes away from the appointment while I am at work and left with about 25 minutes to spare. Wouldn’t you know it, there was an accident that was blocking all lanes of traffic. I had to double back and go the long way around to get there. I JUST made it in time.

While I was driving the back roads to get there, I had one of those A-HA moments where I realized that all these little annoying manifestations had the same sort of feel around them. The odd part is that I couldn’t put my finger on what exactly I had been thinking and feeling in the recent past that was bringing these manifestations my way.

I can hear Abraham asking “How did these things feel to you? What emotions where you feeling with them all?”

Hmmm, let’s see:

I am feeling short on time.
I am feeling not in control of how things turn out.
I am feeling pressed to get everything done and to make everyone happy in the process.
I feel like I am failing to make people happy no matter how hard I try.
I feel like I have no control about getting things done when I want to get them done.
I feel frustrated to the point of pulling my hair out. And that is one I HAVE to get under control due to the fact that my yearly fall hair shed turned into an situaiton where I lost an extreme amount of hair due to this frustration.

Now, let’s evaluate. Have I been feeling this before? I would say definitely, YES. It would be one of those cases where this is one of those ingrained vibrations that has followed me through the years from childhood. They aren’t those show stopping vibrations, but rather the remnants of things that I haven’t fully moved to a better feeling place over the years. Perhaps my pending trip to see my mom has caused them to rise to the surface again.

What ever the cause, It’s all good. I know how to deal with this now. A couple of rounds of EFT will make the difference for me. I am loving the fact that I have seen this before it became something huge. This is HUGE for me. I was really getting tired out of creating out of the oblivious, as Abraham puts it. I saw this as it was occuring and am able to make the slight adjustments that are needed before the vibration hits the “don’t worry, it will get bigger” stage that Abraham talks about.

I so appreciate the becoming aware stage that I am now in.
