3-16-12 Attracting Abundance

 3-16-12

Tuesday was not a remarkable day at work, my sinuses were better still, I think it really is the vinegar! It got me to thinking that I recall my grandma using it to clear clogged drains and god knew my drain in the rental house was small and clogged up often so I looked it up and low and behold I was right! The article said to put a cup of baking soda in the drain then a 1/2 cup of vinegar. Sure would be cheaper, not to mention better for the environment than that commercial chemical stuff, especially since I live so close to the bay.... When I got home from work one of my roommates had left a note instead of his rent and I was very upset, this was the second time he didn't have it and he'd only lived here two weeks! It was especially tight because my other roommate hadn't paid me on Saturday and was going to double up this coming Saturday but she hadn't warned me like she usually does so I had bought something Friday night at that party I went to to help my friend. And worst of all I was to go to dinner that night with some of my gal pals and had been looking forward to it for weeks! In the end I decided to go and I used my debit card to take some from my bank account, I had just gotten a work bonus and had a tax return coming so I told myself it was worth it.

While there I talked to one of my gal pals who is also strapped for money most of the time, I told her to try getting a roommate or two that it was nice to not have to live alone anyway. She said she was not able to do that because she gets alimony and it strictly spells out in her divorce that if anyone is living with her that it stops. I told her that it probably meant a boyfriend not a roommate, she said she realizes that but she is too afraid to take the chance as she needs that money too much. Her divorce was 15 years ago. In the parking lot as we were leaving I told her to not worry so much about money when she commented on how expensive dinner had been. I told her all we have to do is work hard, trust in God to provide and not be so fearful that we can't do something nice for ourselves once in awhile. I felt good to have been able to guide her some and at the same time to re-enforce this lesson to myself. When I got home that night there was an envelope of money passed under my bedroom door, the roommate who owes on Thursdays had paid me early! He left me a note apologizing for paying early as he wouldn't be back for a few days, I left him a note saying this was an answer to prayer. I knew it was a reminder for me to know I would always be provided for.

Wednesday I worked from home and then in the evening had my walking and talking event. I was surprised to have 5 of us but was very happy about it. The other groups do dinners and karaoke and all sorts of things on weeknights but that's just not what I want to do. I just want to be outdoors walking and taking in all the beautiful views that Monmouth county has to offer us. Only one went to dinner with me after and took advantage of the $10 special at Fridays. It was good though as we talked about things and her need to move from where she is and such, I so like to be able to talk to people and help them when they need it. That night I had a message on my Facebook from one of my spiritual groups, a positive affirmation to attract abundance:

“I am paid EXTREMELY WELL for work I love, that uses my natural talents and gifts.”

This is EXACTLY what I want for my life! I began to think about what I really LIKE to do.......  I like to write this blog, especially when someone writes to me and thanks me and says it helped them, I like to charge my SpiritStones and give, sell or "seed" them in places that I think their energy will do some good. I also like to talk to people on Facebook or on the phone or via e-mail about their problems and give them some guidance. This is what I am good at, talking and listening and giving Reiki. Oh and helping people to connect I am also good at that! I have always been at "the hub" of things and in many groups of people...If only I could make money that way....

Thursday morning driving to work I was listening to Catie Couric's book on CD that I got from the library:   Best-Advice-Ever-Got Now this is a good book I have gotten quite a few things from this that I hope to share in future blogs but big message that morning was this: What would you still do even if you didn't get paid to do it? I thought of CassiesCalendar and how I keep doing this 10 years later and I don't make money on it. I thought of my Reiki that I give and only a few have ever paid me and even this is like 1/2 the going rate, I thought of all the free angel card readings I have done, I don't recall anyone ever paying me for those. So I decied to change those statements to I do make money with and named each one and I printed out several copies of that affirmation to put up all around where I would see them often and could say them to myself. After work that night I met my hospice supervisor and she took me and introduced me to a new client. He was a very nice man and I was happy to be able to be seeing someone who actually could talk to me and wanted visitors! As I walked out I thanked God for the opportunity to GIVE, which is the 1st rule in attracting abundance. That night I had an urge to stop in the good will store and ended up getting two pair of pants that I needed and a candle all for only $10! I also got some good deals grocery shopping at Aldis.

Friday I worked from home and I cut out the affirmations I printed and I gave one to Jeremy. He said that he just asks his friends to agree with him that he will get whatever it is that he wants. I told him that was the same thing as asking them to pray with him, like the bible says when two or more agree.....or is that when two or more gather? Well something like that, but it was using the collective energy of a group, same thing as me asking my friends to pray for me. Yeah whatever he shrugged you know I can't ask them to pray cuz thats gay. I told him whatever he called it was fine, God doesn't care what you call him why would he care what you call asking him for help with stuff. I was also very happy this day because in the evening was the Zoso concert, a Led Zeppelin cover band. I had gotten the Starland Ballroom to give me tickets for the show and gave all 300 of them out to my friends and friends of friends and friends of friends of friends! Me I'd rather stay home with a pizza and a RedBox movie on a friday night but these FREE concerts make everyone so happy, this is a club that many of the people in my age group went to when they were younger and the bands songs are what they listed to back in the day...reminiscing is good for the soul it raises your vibration and I am happy to do anything I can to help that! The gratitude they all show and the smiles is the best payment I could ever get for doing these events!

Today I want you to look around in your life and see what you have to be thankful for and express gratitude to God/the Universe whoever your personal higher power is. I also want you to be generous to others and there are many ways to do that that do not necessarily involve money but sometimes it will, and I want you to remember to also be generous to yourself too! Not greedy but there is nothing wrong with a well earned and occasional treat. No matter what finacial storms or crisis you are going through trust and belive that God can shine down on you in any moment of need....You will never ever lack anythig that you truly need when your soul follows the path of its creator.....


With Love and in the Light, Cassie

PS, Just saw this on my older son's facebook feed, he's getting out of the Air Force next week after serving for 9 years. He's busy cleaning and packing and getting ready to move to a room in a friends house and spend the next few years going to college. He posted:

Went to Walmart to pick up some cleaning supplies the Walmart greeter is one those power chairs that looked some what disabled chased me down to give me a Thank you Card and a scripture that said "No greater love is this that one would lay down there life for a friend" Was one the most touching moments I have had in my entire 9 yrs of service. Little reminders I suppose from God that someone does actually care about what I did and what I gave up for what I believed was the right thing to do.

Moral of the story, Never underestimate the power of a thank or pass up a chance to give one no matter how hard it may be for you to do.

Thank you my son Dustin for being a stand up guy and serving your country, I don't know if you will ever see these words I write here but I will tell you when you visit for easter this year just how very proud I am of you, I know that I haven't said so nearly enough or thank you for being the person that you are.
