CH- I wrote H’s angel to go to bed once he got home, so that he could keep his serotonin levels balanced, otherwise he gets really loopy. Of late he’s been getting home late and then staying up surfing the Internet for items for his new business that he’s about to rebirth.
So he came home, I left the room for a minute, ‘cause I was doing some cleaning and washing a few dishes. I came back in the room, he’s already partially naked. I said “Dag, I knew I should have asked you to help me before I left so you wouldn’t get undressed.
“Help you do what?” he said.
Me – Take out some garbage with me.
“Garbage, hell no, at 3 f—ing o’clock in the morning, hell no, you better get to bed and get to bed now. You’ll have to do that by yourself. I’m not going.”
Me – That angel writing really worked. So I did. Then when I returned, he was already asleep. He was asleep and snoring.
S – That’s why I always suggest fulfillment “gently and in peace. B. said in a 4T’s that he did an angel writing, but later he remembered to add ‘in peace and gently, so he wouldn’t go through any drama.
C – I’ve been trying to help G while he is going through some stuff. He’s still slightly suffocating, and it is hard to do more than encourage someone who doesn’t want to pray. But he has been going to church at M C. But he hasn’t been getting all that he needs in their services. He has been calling for prayer at their offices, but they have not responded. I suggest he go to Unity and go to after church to one our prayer chaplins, but he wants to continue to try at M C. I”ve been praying with him, but he needs more and someone separate from me, I think.
S – What does the leap of faith mean to you?
C – Taking a faithful risk toward what I want. Taking a risk, it’s scary as hell. I want it— and my dreams.
S – We know that, but tell me really what it means.
C- I’m moving into the step of faith and coming into my own. Risking what is in front of me, rather than waiting to see what will happen. Believing that what I believe to happen will happen.
CH- I’ll give you a for instance . . ., I did the rest of my homework.
SH – Well wait a minute, you’re going to my second question.
CH- I was trying to figure out who could help me sell my house. So I called Unity of Phoenix.
C/SH – how did you decide to do that? That’s a good idea. What made you do it?
CH – I already knew Sunday morning that I wanted ask J A.
C – Why? Why J A?
CH – She’d told me about her previous work experiences and one of them was dealings with real estate. At her suggestion to call a Unity realtor in Phoenix, she suggested I call one of the Unity’s, so I’d already done some research the previous week and had found a rather big Unity spiritual center. I called Unity of Phoenix, to see if there was someone who could find me some Unity members who realtors and call them. I spoke to the Pastoral Care minister J S. who told me he was new to the valley by only a year, and he would take my number and call me back in the next day or so. Well, he called me back within the hour.
S – WoW! That’s amazing.
CH- Actually since I’d already done some research, I had looked at the realtor’s names, but nothing was hitting me or making me want to call them. I think I was kind of was turned off by a couple of their websites. One of them was obviously gleamed from pictures in public domain. So it looked like it was a fly by night operation. It probably wasn’t but I wasn’t getting a great vibe from any of them.
I looked at their websites, but I still didn’t get a feeling as if I wanted to use them except possibly one of them, so I called one of them. She told me what the price for houses like mine were going for nowadays. Well, it was a hit in the stomach, like I never could believe. When I got ready to come to our study group, I was still whirling with disappointment. While I was waiting for the elevator, I kept saying C, com’on. C, that’s her idea, that’s not God’s. God after all put the idea in my mind to sell it. He’s my real realtor and he will sell it at the right time at the right and perfect price and perfect purchaser.
The amounts for houses are really low as at this point of in terms of selling, but I have to remember whose we are. That is my leap of faith, that my house can sell at a great price rather than the realistic (pessimistic recession-talk).
So I asked H what he thought. He suggested I call them and ask questions. I then went online and researched questions to ask potential realtors. I found a great website that had 10 questions to ask, including the numbers of listings made and sold in the last 6 months. Also what community they usually sold their listings. Then I found out the most sellingest real estate office in my neighborhood (Southwest Phoenix). It was Century 21. None of the people’s names given were members of Century 21, so basically selling my house would be outside their natural realm.
C – So G has been low, sighing a lot and somewhat depressed. Things are alright in his life, but he’s just not as happy as he could be. He needed someone to focus on praying for him, but he wasn’t getting what he needed at M C, yet he continued to go and call their offices to get their help. He was continually running on empty, but didn’t feel any better. I suggested he call someone at Unity, but he wanted to keep at M C.
SH – What does leap of faith mean to you?
C- So he called me back gave me 3 names and their websites and telephones.
SH- okay here is my leap of faith, I have to get my application in, but I don’t have Word 2007. I hate it, so I have been typing in Works and the library doesn’t have it what can I do to convert it. I know I will get it in on time.
SH- You’re asking for something and it seems to manifest right away but if you get it right away or you ask and don’t get it, can you think of a time that it’s happened?
CH- Well yeah when I wrote H’s angel and he came and went right to sleep.
C- Getting this interim gig with A. Checking out mentally about my clients with JP and then in the new year for A. And then the renewal of UI. It’s that my clientele and it is building.
SH- What about something that didn’t happen the way you wanted it?
C- I got that. It’s D it weird how we play off each other, but I like him as a friend. He’s the most secular non-spiritual guy. I just found out he’s set up a trust/foundation and given 95% of his 22 million dollars. He put it on his website. Some people were amazed and gave him props. Then there were a few because of their own thought processes that “hey you mean you just wanted to get a tax break.”
And that just goes to show me that there are always people who are not going to be happy about anything you do. Can’t please people, no matter what you do.
SH- What about you CH what about something you didn’t get right away?
CH- Usually, my tenants rent comes within the first 10 days, but it didn’t come. I reminded myself that it is coming, so went ahead and wrote out my tithe check. Then I asked H if I could borrow a certain amount from and him, which initially he couldn’t, but when he got paid, no problem. The next day he came through for me. Then a 6 days later a letter and my tenants rent arrived.
SH- My acupuncture needles hadn’t come yet, so I was still waiting and waiting. So I said, ‘okay God in your time.’ Then there was this guy at work named P, which I was interested in, but then I found out that he really acts childish. We haven’t been involved or rather spoken in over a year, but he still thinks there’s a spark.
SH-What does the parable the fishes and loaves mean to you?
C- That we have enough to stretch. That we have more than enough, more than we think.
CH- No matter what people tell you. You can’t do this or you can’t do that. It’s based on your faith and reliance on God.
SH- You just don’t get it if your faith is short. That is how HE was able to have and to share enough for everyone. Believe in only what is in front of you, you will not be able to see the more that is in front of you, (until you are ready to see).
Which parable speaks to you most? And why? Which works best for you?
Turning lack into abundance.
CH- I am an overachiever, right? So I read the entire chapter and then I did a PowerPoint presentation of all of the affirmations from the chapter.
C – Of course, you did.
CH- The one that I like is Divine Order is being established in my life immediately. That was after I found out the prices of houses in Phoenix, so I did that affirmation to help lift my spirits.
SH- I was about to pick Divine order, but then I decided that for work I wanted and liked . . . the blessing of my wallet or tithe. Sometimes in church, I pick up my entire bag.
C- I enjoy the power of command and positiveness. The act of blessing is more the power. One of my favorites to use and the one that works best for me: The 7th Step — ‘Do not take your hands off visible supply, but pour forth the increase fearlessly, then expect immediate results.’
SH- I did answer that one, the reason I use Divine Order sometimes is my mother used it whenever something was going on, so I use it too.
C- I think our share time of 5 minutes should be an ongoing thing, similar to what Mary Morrissey was saying she got from Henry Thoreau. “Go constantly toward your dreams.” Do 5 minutes of action, not meditation or PowerPoint, but ACTION!
1. Right before last week’s session, I did my 5 minutes and because I was so excited to get on the roll and did this week’s homework when I got home after last week’s session. It was allowing me to get back into my mojo . . . . one of my goals has been to be in a TV show and I saw an opportunity in which to fulfill that goal. I got the ball rolling and I shall be in that show shortly.
This opportunity reinforces my path to go toward my goals. Then I received an email asking if I’d sent out the information. This was an email which was a follow-up on whether or not I wanted do the show. The organization was awaiting my information to come.
2. Then I decided to do a catalog of ten songs with tempo information on each song with a description, so that others could understand what the song is about.
I did all my homework, which I thank you ladies for helping me jumpstart my organizational goals within my life and business life. Including doing the cleaning of my room, and organizing. Then maybe one day you will see my room.
CH- May . . . be next week.
C- What?
SH- Oh she’s always doing that. She said maybe we could come to your house next week.
C- Oh . . . well yeah, that might be possible. It’s just not quite possible right now.
SH- Maybe a heavy cleaning?
C- No, it wasn’t that bad.
SH- Well you know I can’t talk.
CH- And you’ve been to my house, the house without silverware.
C- Oooh! Okay, well you understand then and I’m glad there is no judgment.
Moving in with T, I was thinking it was just for a bit of time, I’d be there, but now it’s starting to feel like home and my office. And I am very happy that I am single.
CH- I was at home about to leave to go to my friend’s house and I was trying to get stuff to wear or something just right. Then I started singing. I was singing a song that I hadn’t sung in a long time so it was lying in my registry somewhat low. I couldn’t remember all of the words, so I was going over the words in one spot over and over. Then I left. As I was standing waiting for the elevator, (congratulating myself on how good my voice and its maturity had blossomed, I heard a door open) A came out, but I thought it was our neighbor with the little English bulldog, but there was no movement toward the elevator, so I turned around and A was standing at our door and then asked me if that was me singing. I said, yes in the house a moment ago, it was. He said, “WoW! Your voice has really flushed out. I am so proud, that was so beautiful. Your voice has taken on a nice quality.”
“Tell me if you’d known I was here, would you have sung? I said, I believed that I would, but he said he didn’t think I would have, but he was grateful that I hadn’t known that he was here. He thought it was a real gift to have that time listening to me sing.
As I was singing I got this urge to ask C about whether or not she’d be willing to write some music for me geared toward my upper registry actually a sort of musical exploration of my voice if I commissioned her to write them.
C- Would you like New Thought and would you be willing to let others sing it as well?
CH- I think that I’d initially want to have the privilege of singing them.
C- Yeah, but later on could others sing it as well?
CH- Yes, definitely.
C- Then you wouldn’t have to pay me, I’d do that for you.
CH- Thank you, we’d of course have to set up a time to talk about doing that. Cool!
SH- I was thinking about the application submission for the new business grant contest a lot but I fell asleep. I will have to do a lot of cutting and pasting to get it right. Presently I had to type in Works, but the library doesn’t have that program and I think for the contest I have to have it in Microsoft Word, but I hate MS Word 2007 so much that I refuse to buy it.
C- I do too. I think though Word 2003 is still available.
CH- I like it, but to rectify your problem, all you have to do is to do all your edits in Works, then save it to either Notepad or WordPad, which you can find in the Accessories. Go into the Start, Then Accessories, the WordPad. Paste it there, or do you have a flash drive, to save your work onto?
SH- Yes I have a flash drive.
CH- Then you open in WordPad at the library, all computers’ base has WordPad, copy your work, then open MS Word and then paste it onto a new sheet, save that one into Word, print it out and mail it out.
C- Will you have time to do all of that?
SH- I should.
C- I’ve got an idea. Why don’t you come to my house now and I’ll do the conversion so, that you can send it out tonight. I’ll do the conversion, print it out, and put it in an envelope. The only thing you’ll have to do is to mail it off. I’ll even supply you with postage. You’ll be good to go Mama.
Let’s go.
