This Thought Counts

Joy & Peace

August 29, 2009 – 10:13 am

I sit here knowing and understanding the beauty of the Universe. This morning, as I was writnig out what I manifest, what is already here in the Vortex, I typed “I am open to love”. In the past, this has not been the case, but I choose to be open to love and be open to the kind of relationship I believe can exist.

As soon as I clicked Send, I turned my head toward my wonderful wall of windows and looked at the catholic church that sits there. Usually I rarely look at it as its usually surrounded by homeless or doing some sort of church service, but today there were 5 men in tuxes standing out front. It was immediately obvious there was a wedding happening soon. I watched them, amused as they tried to figure out how to put the flowers in the button holes and I watched as the bridesmaids and bride appeared. As I watched, picture taking took place and a cop stopped right in front of the church so the photographer could step out into the street to take just the right pic.

Weddings are usually something I don’t pay attention to. Even when my friends got married, I went, but wasn’t super-impressed by the whole experience – my mind was on everything else that was going on in my life. I am not sure what it was about this one, but I felt overcome with joy. It wasn’t a big fancy affair. The bride was dressed in a simple white gown and there was obviously no superstition about the groom seeing the bride before the wedding.

That was two hours ago – They just all went inside – after all their guests arrived and all the pictures were taken.

I again feel relaxed and at peace with the world and with myself. Its a fantastic place to be. Joy comes in many forms; from the exstatic to the calmest of peace. May everyone enjoy this peace today.

First term down . . .

August 19, 2009 – 6:13 pm

Yes, its been awhile since I blogged – I know:)

I have been so focused on my first term in school, that I haven’t been visiting the web very much. Since classes ended last week, I have found myself mulling over the last year. It was in June 2008 that I knew I was ready to go ahead with learning more and getting a hold on me and my future. It was July 21, 2008, that I started with the Boundless Living Challenge.

Now, here I am, a little over a year later. What a change a year makes. I am so happy, so joyful. I have true focus in my life and love what I am doing. I see challenges for what they are and don’t let them affect me. Basically, in the span of a year, I have become a completely different person.

I don’t know many people that can honestly say this – but I can. Change, which so many of us shirk and shy away from is so easy if we but stop the doubts and push ahead, can happen so quickly and easily. It feels effortless.

I look at other: friends of mine or my mother’s who are looking for answers and for change and are looking for the hardest things they can find, not realizing that change is easy. I never realized how easy it was.

You truly do need to decide what you want and go for it – get a support system, gain friends who have already crossed that path. When doubt comes, recognize it for what it is: fear – and let it slide away, reinforcing what you want. Start with something small, for while the Universe does not care if you want $1 or $1million, your doubts do. Start small, and with each and every success, note it and remind yourself of that success every time you doubt the next time.

Ignore your friends who laugh and ridicule you for your new path; for if they do – are they truly your friends?

ROAD LESS TRAVELED

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth

Then took the other as just as fair
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear
Though as for that, the passing there
Had worn them really about the same

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet, knowing how way leads onto way
I doubted if I should ever come back

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence
Two roads diverged in a wood
And I took the one less traveled by
And that has made all the difference

The Law of Attraction works, plain and simple

June 28, 2009 – 8:02 am

Well, its been a few weeks since I posted, but so much has happend in that time.

My goal was to start at Portland State University on June 22nd. As of June 10th, I was no closer to my goal. While I was accepted and registered for school, I was lacking the resources. But – I chose to believe that the money would come. A few days previous, I had chosen the date of June 11th as the day the money would need to come through by so I could move to Portland and get settled before school started.

On June 11th, the money came through. The next week was insanely busy. I got moved into my new apartment June 18th and had a couple days to walk around the city before school started.

Here I sit, on June 28th, strong in the knowledge of one thing – the Law of Attraction works. It works in amazing and wonderful ways. We just need to know our goals will come to pass – we need to know against current circumstance that things will work out. I kept saying “I choose to know that the money I need to move to Portland and go to school will be here by June 11th”. I saw myself living in Portland, I saw myself going to class. Whenever I noticed the physical circumstances that were so opposite to the results I wanted, I would repeat my mantra. I would remember how the impossible had been made possible in May due to my belief and clung to it.

When the money came through on the 11th, I will admit I was still shocked and amazed! It took a couple hours for it to sink in.

Do not let doubt set in. Yes, it will come up – especially as a date draws closer and no evidence has shown itself. Stand firm in your desires, stand firm in your knowledge.

Wake Up and Make Your Dreams Come True!

Hope ~ Dreaming the Impossible Dream

June 5, 2009 – 12:33 pm

As we all go for goals that are bigger than we are, some so big they feel more like dreams, the question of how can I keep hoping when there are no hints in front of me.

I have found small ways to combat it, but last night a story brought home just how hope and determination can do anything & everything.

Have you seen the movie Apollo 13? Apollo 13 is about the Apollo 13 space mission. The fact that NASA gave it the number 13 was quite prophetic. The number 13 is associated with bad things happening, and lets face it – nothing but bad things happened to that ship.

First, part of their ship blew off. They lost most of their oxygen and most of their power. They had to use a LEM (Lunar Excursion Module) as a life-raft for their trip around the moon and back. They had to turn off the LEM engines so as to have power for the end of their trip. They had too much carbon dioxide at one point that had to be dealt with. They came in too shallow and had the possibility of skiffing off the atmosphere into space. Added to that, at the last moment they saw exactly what had been done to the original craft and the question as to whether their heat-shield or their parachutes would work.
