Feeling Grateful I Am one of the dry ones !!
Moorland and Burrowbridge are literally 2 and 9 miles from where I live.
Burrowmump at Burrowbridge is one of my favourite places on earth and feel very privileged that I can literally jump in my car be there in ten minutes.
Heartbreaking to see it like this and feel so much for the residents.
Today makes it all seem so simple !!
I re-listened to Oprah’s episode about ‘The Secret’ yesterday and two things stuck me 1) when you are in a crisis be grateful for it because we can be grateful for anything. Somewhere there is a gift inside. Say “Thank you for giving me this experience” Oprah added she usually asks “What is this experience trying to teach me”. This actually made being a difficult situation look like an adventure and 2) When Lisa Nichols told of a horrible situation she said she prayed that if God got her through her situation she would dedicate her life to serving. Oprah mentioned she has spent her life asking “How can I serve?”.
I used this today faced with difficult employed work situations along with being grateful as often as I can and reminding myself I am not alone and asking for guidance when faced with challenges and …………….
My day has gone effortlessly from that point forward.
It all feels effortless and simple and on the way home in my car feeling energised and grateful I instinctively felt grateful and asked “How can I serve?”
Today has not been a comfortable day to go through and I have been doing my darndest to stay positive or look for the gifts wrapped in Sandpaper (as Lisa Nichols) would call them.
I work with a couple of people who are not pleasant (down right devious, there I’ve said it amongst other things) and appear to be made of Teflon.
Yesterday I copied something I saw online and aimed to put it into practice but today it was hard (Am I being tested?)
When you can look beneath their behavior that hurt you and you can see the frightened child – it becomes nearly impossible to be angry and carry a grudge.
I do have a little light on the horizon and I am playing all secret squirrel about it at the moment but I Am only in the first steps of setting it up, not in a position to say ‘Whatever, I’m out of here’ YET !!
Because of this I felt is it really worth looking for another job then I remembered listening to a Wayne Dyer video on YouTube the other day and Wayne explained how he admitted being anxious and humbled about doing a public television presentation and then he said he just released it as said “God Guide me”.
This part of the presentation came back into my mind when I was asking myself do I stay or do I go and I too said “God guide me” then immediately said Thank You – ask and it is given remember.
As I planned to leave for the day something held me up and I quickly went into an office to see a friendly colleague. These extra few unplanned minutes meant that I then excited the building at the very moment one of the Teflon people were un-incriminating themselves by incriminating me. I know I have nothing to worry about because judging what I heard I have the documentation to back myself up but it’s just so energy draining having to do so unnecessarily and then it hit me. Was I meant to see this? Is the thought and words ‘Energy Draining’ the message I needed to say time for a fresh start?
When I got home I decided my plan was to follow my instincts and find the best feeling thought and another and another to raise my energy.
I read recently by several authors all at once that whatever happens you owe it to yourself to look for the best feeling thought in any situationto keep your energy high. The Universe can’t bring miracles to you if your energy is low. I also remembered to remember we never know what the plan is so trust that this is all happening for a reason. That thought instantly made me feel better.
The next instinctive thought was to have a cup of coffee and some fruit and download some meditation apps I seen recommended in a magazine. Suitably calmed the next thought was to play the rest of the ‘Sex in The City’ episode that I recorded as we were leaving the house the other day. Now I have nothing against ‘Sex in The City’ but I have never been an avid follower but something made me decide to record the rest of the episode that just came on the TV as I was getting ready.
At the end it was all lovely and happy ending’s all round, Big came to Paris to find Carrie (get to see land marks of my two favorite cities, bonus all round) and then at the end instead of the normal sound track they played “You’ve got the Love” by ‘The Source’ Ft Candi Staton. I LOVE this track and have turned to it in the car on many occasions in the long and distant past but for some reason when I heard the first few lyrics I just burst into tears, uncontrollable tears but it wasn’t tears of sadness, it felt Goooooooddd !! A Source (boom boom) of release.
And so apt a song when earlier I had asked “God guide me !!
Read the other day how networking now and in the future is more about shared beliefs, values and interests that build stronger, productive, relationships rather than just status and titles.
How refreshing a thought is this and it came across to me that it is also reassuring in a time we hear negative press about social network sites being responsible for things like teenage suicide and racism that such a positive movement can also be achieved by it that can, will and is creating a cultural shift in consciousness in the way we work together.
I love the new coke a cola advert that uses positive and negatives. It shows for each negative action there are hundreds if not thousands of positive things happening in the world.
I once planned to create a brand called Ali P Positive Art because during a college assignment and later with my finals in my degree I was the only one focusing on the positives in life. Be it spotting a lone beautiful poppy on a patch of waste land or seeing nature overcoming industrialisation and I had aimed to help others to take time to look for the positives in life every day like Eckhart Tolle advises to just experience.
I never followed through with Ali P Positive Art because of obstacles and the kind of person I was then (fearful and full of self doubt and lacking in confidence).
Yesterday I was actually listening to Eckhart Tolle and Oprah Winfrey on Youtube, a series called A New Earth and I was particularly struck by something Eckhart referred to about people saying they are trying to work out their purpose or not knowing what their purpose is and Eckhart said he would prefer to think of it more like instead of finding their purpose, let their purpose come through them.
He also said it can take a long time for your purpose to come through you, it can take years.
I also found this refreshing. In this scenario I don’t have to look or feel wrong because I haven’t managed to find my purpose yet or something didn’t work out. Maybe it just wasn’t my time or my purpose.
I Am a funnel for my purpose.
Hmmmmmm might be a mistake but following Inspired Action !!!
Since starting my blog I have received contact from people and organisations sayings I can make money from my blog.
Is there anyone out there actually making money from their blog or can anyone recommend a way to or a reputable organisation ??
Please excuse my naivety.
I have no products, just my thoughts and observations of the miracle of the Universe at work and a book in the offing.
Have a wonderful inspirational day !!!!
Namaste
Currently I am setting up little reminders for the morning of things to do and todays was ‘look in attic for mobile phone case and Louise Hay Book “You Can Heal Your Life” as I have a current illness and a painful foot and I know deep down this is indicating some imbalance in my psyche showing up in my physicality plus re-read a certain Wayne W Dyer (my favorite of favoritious authors) book.
Last night I had this idea of how amazing it would be to write a book and have Hay House publish it but ‘Hay’ that is the ultimate of ultimate’s and they must get inundated with authors all with the same wish as me and seeing as I haven’t written my book yet – need to do a bit of work on this one !!!!!
I remembered reading a couple of books of people working out of Hay House that I had seen recommended on Facebook, the most memorable to me Pam Grout and the amazing “E-squared” and Anita Moorjani and “Dying to be Me” . I remembered reading how it was Wayne W Dyer that approached Anita and a synchronized series of events that had occurred after her NDE.
The other day I wrote a blog post that I was about to post which is below but decided to stop by in my emails first as I am awaiting a phone call and didn’t want my flow flawed and my jaw dropped.
The post was intended to be called ” A change in consciousness” and it was going to go like this –Â
It’s not just a wish and a hope it’s a done deal
Also earlier I had read a Pam Grout blog post and it had a guest YouTube tape by Dr Joe Dispenza about his daughters Ultimate Shopping Spree and felt it was so inspiring and I’d meditate the following morning on what I wanted to manifest most  predominantly however the following morning before even meditating on it I realised I already have an inner knowing that it is a done deal. “I know like I know like I know” and I don’t have to figure out how or when because the Universe knows the best time sequence and always delivers it far better than I could have ever imagined in such a way my head always spins but this time in a good way (not linked to my current illness).Â
As previously mentioned I had a stop by to look in my emails and keep them clear. The only one I saved was an email that Pam Grout had posted on her blog, so I clicked on the link and followed through to Pam’s post.
The first thing was a quote from a course in miracles which was one of my 2014 daily rituals to read some ‘A Course in Miracles’ every day but it wasn’t just about the quote being from ACIM it was what the quote said. First jaw drop (but you’ll have to check out Pam Grouts blog for that). Then it featured a picture of Louse Hay. Second jaw drop. Hello? Then I revisited the title of the blog post because I hadn’t really checked it out as I just love reading Pam’s blog.
5 top reasons choosy inspirational authors choose Hay House
Third jaw drop.
In the first lines, well it just gets to spooky for words and I don’t want to rewrite the blog post but someone was referred to as saying when they recalled their job as an actor “Can you believe we get paid to do this?”. The post  mentions Wayne Dyer details how wonderful it is being part of Hay House publishing and how different it is compared to other publishing organizations and how couldn’t it be as the Brain child of the admirable Louise Hay then it mentions Louise’s book “You Can Heal Your Life”, the very book I had been scrambling around the attic for only hours earlier. It even closed with keeping channels open and be ready to receive.
The other day I listened to a recording by Earl Schoaff who said you can have anything you want but get specific and don’t even think about how or when and don’t keep digging it up but if you see anything that reminds you of what you have asked for just say “Thank You” and take it as a sign that it is on its way.

I would like to earn money from writing and since starting my blog I have been contacted, liked and followed by people I thought liked my blog but naive me, just writing for happiness found that some of these people were offering me ‘possible’ business opportunities to make money on-line.
Maybe they are legit, maybe they are not?
Now I have found myself with an unexpected extended Christmas leave due to an illness starting on the 2nd of January and where able decided to utilize this extra time for projects personal to me however I underestimated how ill I actually was and barely able to move from my bed I was beginning to feel frustrated that I wasn’t able to maximise this time as planned and the plan was to read through the many emails I had been bombarded with from these potential business opportunities to see if they are viable.
Due to this amazing era we live in and something I Am very grateful for, I did/do have my iPad mini for company and sometimes listening to YouTube presentations was all I was able to manage to do.
During one of these something clicked in my head and reminded me that we should take ‘Inspired Action’ and it should feel effortless rather than ‘Action, Action’ which can be forced and just doing something mindlessly for action sake.
This has stuck with me over the last couple days as I have started to feel more human again and only do something when I feel it from the inside as authentic.
Last night I made a mini to do list and one of the things was to go through these emails but then I remembered I may be falling back into the ‘Action, Action’ trap again so changed my to ‘do list’ to meditate and follow any ‘Inspired Action’ that comes up.
Well  I still went into my emails but whilst filtering through them and feeling over-whelmed I had ‘Inspired Action’ to delete every single email in my inbox. Make a clean slate and trust that more ‘Inspired Action’ would arrive and lead me in the right direction I need to follow.
Maybe I Am crazy but it feels good.
Whoa we’ll 2014 didn’t start how I expected but reviewing the first few days it’s not looking so bad. On New Years Eve I saw this picture and thought I Am having some of that.
I decided to take daily action and build little rituals and document them. I feel I Am making progress. I truly honestly believe my life has changed for the better already but in areas I never expected when I saw that picture.
2013Â MEÂ felt deep down that the only way my life could work the way I wanted it too was to be single.
I Planned to do some work over the holidays but not a lot got done then on January second unexpectedly I took ill in the early hours of the morning. So ill I literally couldn’t get out of bed because I felt so sick every-time I moved. I was totally gutted as we had just taken possession of a new sexy car on New Year’s Eve and the 2nd was my first opportunity to drive it on my own and feel freedom again.
As I succumbed to illness I poked at YouTube on my iPad and plugged into some earphones to listen to a presentation by Tony Robbins (He is my new big thing) so seeing his face on ‘what to watch’ I poked at it and thought that will do.
OMG !! That presentation was so unlike anything I’d watched or listened to before but the Universe knew what it was doing. It featured a lady who talked of many hardships and also a frustration at her husband. Tony helped her turn around her perceptions especially towards her husband and give an insight to male and female thinking in a way that the revelation light bulb started to flicker above my sickbed and also made me think how I was perceiving, interpreting and blaming my partner for things that were not his fault and for the first time in ages I could see all that is good about him and accept him unconditionally.
I could see it was only MY  subconscious expectations and perceptions of him that echoed back to me what I believed him to be like, so like other areas of the Law of Attraction what we focus on we receive but I only really was thinking about this in relation to objects and expectations of myself. Wow wake up call.
I see quotes on Facebook for instance about not letting negative people drag you down and sometimes you have to leave people behind but I also read  “Change the way we think about things and the things we think about will change” but I literally and honestly hands up hadn’t even considered this in the state of my relationship because I thought I wasn’t capable of changing a person.
Of course my partner is totally oblivious to all of this but I swear the atmosphere and energy in our home and our relationship had shifted before he even re-entered our home that night and I want to thank Mr Tony Robbins for literally changing my life. I love my partner with renewed impetuous and I see a future again that we both share together and what ever journeys I take, because I will keep taking action will be from my point of view, together.
I remember a long time ago when I was learning about affirmations reading somewhere that the Universe doesn’t acknowledge the words ‘NOT’ & ‘DON’T’ so “I don’t want to be late!” reads “I want to be late!”.
Wednesday was going to be a busy day. Straight from work a quick change, drive 40 miles to shopping Mall, something to eat, Christmas shopping then seeing Anchorman 2 with pre-bought tickets online. During the day, knowing it was going to be a rush I remember it crossing my mind thinking “I must NOT forget my purse as it has the card in it to retrieve the cinema tickets”. In all the hustle and bustle of getting ready I was thinking what I needed to take and I remembered I’d specifically bought some Weight Watchers Popcorn for the cinema and thinking I must not forget to get it out of the cupboard. Very shortly after leaving the house I exclaimed “Oh Pooh” (or words to that effect) very loudly. “What ?!!” my startled partner asks. “I’ve left my Weight Watchers popcorn in the cupboard. This led me go to my phone to delete the ‘Points’ I had previously tracked and as we travelled on I started to feel sleepy and placed my phone next to me on the seat, in my drowsy state thought I must not forget to put my phone in my bag.
As we walked in to the Mall there was some serious weather going on. Storm force winds and heavy rain and we made a mad dash for the entrance to shelter and as I shook myself off I said “phooey” (or words to that effect). “What?” came another startled response. I’ve left my phone on the seat. Story short, we went to Nando’s and I delved into my bag to retrieve my Nando’s card and I looked at my partner “You are going to kill me ………. I’ve forgotten my purse (wallet)”. My partner replied that it wasn’t a problem but I explained I needed my card to get the tickets out of the machine at the cinema. Deathly Silence !!!
Before finding LOA and for quite a long time after I’ve always been a panickier but as time goes on with the help of LOA and other materials I Am so much more calmer and less fearful so I acknowledged the sick feeling in the pit of my stomach, took a deep breath and said “Thank you Universe for your help in getting our cinema tickets” and then breathed again and I knew and felt it was OK. After our meal I asked “I know it’s blowing a hoolie but we can just go and see if we can get the tickets so we know where we are at” IE: do we have to drive home and get my purse – sad face !!.
As we walked towards the entrance I could see a cinema employee standing next to a dead looking ticket machine. I thought that’s handy I’ll ask him for advise. Before I even opened my mouth he said “Sorry its cash only I’m afraid, no cards. There’s something wrong with our system”. I explained I’d prepaid and he said that is fine, as long as you have your booking reference number (on confirmation email on my phone that I had picked up off the seat on the way over to the cinema) you can collect them at the till over there. Thanks Universe for your help, bit drastic for all the inconvenience to other cinema users who wanted to use their cards that evening but once again I asked you for help, stated it as already fact, relaxed, let it go and therefore no longer vibrating at a negative energy level and enabling it to manifest.
I’d remembered “The Universe doesn’t acknowledge DON’T” in the shower the following morning (My Universal Telephone) which is also my new Pam Grout styley messaging service, I’ll explain later but I had one more “Dont forget” that I’d forgotten about.
Just before work I quickly picked a Tony Robbins post from YouTube to listen to on the way to work. (New daily ritual, which is a bit ironic if you listen to my choice which I have attached). Before getting into my car and pressing play I asked the Universe “Please help show me what I need to do to make a living off of Internet Marketing, succeed and help my partner. Without even knowing it I had the answer in my ears with my Tony Robbins pick of the day. Todays choice was particularly inspiring and ironic at the same time in its messages from the point of what I’ve been experiencing and thinking. My partner was very P’d off the other day coming home from work. He’s self-employed, works his guts out but is only making a living, not a profit. He’s not the same mind-set as me but it made me think and decide to really investigate and learn about Internet Marketing over the Christmas period hence my question.
Todays Tony Robbins was just about this subject and how and why some people achieve and some don’t. In the clip he had two guests and one John Reese tells a story of working in a video rental store where every day he’d take two magazines. Entrepreneur Magazine and Auto Trader. 1) to get into the mind-set of successful people and learn from them and 2) to pick out the car he was going to drive. He explains that one day his boss asks why he has these magazines and his boss advised him not to do that to himself as it was very, very unlikely to happen. This triggered a memory of only two days earlier that I did not acknowledge the resonance of at the time, which is a usual thing for me. I need a sledge-hammer or 3 times before the Thomas Edison moment and the light bulb finally goes on. Two days earlier as I was walking in to work, earphones in, listening to Tony, I passed a colleague outside on his phone. We graciously raised hands and moved on.
Later the same day I see the same colleague and he unexpectedly asks “Do you normally do that ritual?” (his actual words) “What ritual?”. Walking to work with the head-gear in”, “Oh that’s a new thing I Am doing, listening to Tony Robbins every morning”. Now I thought this person was actually an intelligent open-minded person and that’s why I confided in him but he replied “Awwww, you ought to stop that habit, it will get you in all sorts of trouble” bemused and taken back and not confident (then) to defend my actions I ditheringly replied “It’s just something I’m doing each morning, randomly picking a YouTube vid to listen too” and he replied “Well you need to randomly listen to something else”. “Obviously I didn’t take his advise as I was listening to Tony Robbins this morning as mentioned and I Am so glad I did in more ways than one because hearing John Reese’s story about choosing his Porsche, defying his boss plus proving him wrong then remembering my colleagues responses was my trigger and I thought “Right”, I’ll prove you wrong as well. I WILL break out of this paid employment and I will find a way and thanks to John Reese and Tony Robbins, because of you I’ll find it sooner than later.
I pulled up in work and reached for my security fob. Fob, that was the thing I told myself I must not forget to pick up.
