Dreaming of Santorini

I'm planning a trip to Greece sometime in the next year. It is going to be a vacation of a lifetime. Simply, my dream vacation. Santorini is the destination that I think I would most likely enjoy. It just looks so magical. When I think of Greece and the Mediteranean, I think of Santorini. Little white buildings upon a rocky cliff overlooking the sea.

I AM going!

Next year, Rodrigo and I will be sitting upon a little Greek rocky cliff eating euros and cheese triangles. YUMO!

Open Your Mind To Prosperity

I'm enjoying a nice hot cup of coffee right now. I normally don't like coffee at all...I usually fancy myself a tea drinker. I drink tea almost everyday! But due to my late night last night (I didn't get into bed until 2 AM!) I thought I would give the coffee a shot today. I'm really enjoying it! Black coffee with 1 splenda packet. That's all I need on a cold rainy day like this to make me happy. It's the perfect temperature right now. It's just starting to cool down. Hot enough to almost burn my throat going down but cool enough to not burn my tongue.

I'm reading a really amazing book right now called "Open Your Mind to Prosperity" by Catherine Ponder. A few weeks ago when I had my reading with the Angel Reader, this book was recommended to me by Lakshmie, the Hindu Goddess of Prosperity. She said that it would totally transform the way that I think. It is a Christian faith based book. So far, this book and it's ideas have made a profound impact on my life. Not only does it show you how to manifest prosperity into every aspect of your life, (Love, Money, Health and Happiness), but it also shows you how to forgive and how to be more grateful. This last week is my prime example of how this book has helped me so far...and I'm not even done reading it!!! The results I have seen have been amazing!! I truly recommend this book to all!!! This is my story-

Today Rodrigo and I meet with my landlord to get his name on the lease to replace Jamie's. 19 more days to go until Rodrigo moves in and messy/loud/rude room mates leave!! I can hardly wait. This last week has worked out perfectly. Everything seems to have fallen into place just perfect for us. 1 week ago, Rodrigo didn't have a car or a job, and my life was in shambles-I was offering my room mate to have me move out so we both could live in peace. I was going to have to find another place to live by myself-which I can't afford!!

Last Sunday, the day that I started reading this book and applying the ideas in my life and thinking positively, things really started to turn around. After the blow up I had with my roommates girlfriend, I decided that I could no longer go through this anymore!! I had to confront my roommate. Rodrigo came over and he was helping me to prepare for this confrontation and he offered to help me by moving in wherever I ended up. However it ended, he was going to be there for me. I'll admit, I did have my doubts. It was going to be tricky, he didn't even have a job, or a car!!

Every one of my friends that I consulted about Jamie and how to handle this situation told me that he was not going to budge and that I should just plan on moving out. Later Sunday night, I sat down with Jamie to have the talk. I just layed it out on the table and offered to move out. He then proceeded to tell me that he no longer could afford the place and he had been offered cheaper rent else where. I was literally astounded. I couldn't believe this went as well as it did! I then told him that it wouldn't be a problem, because Rodrigo offered to move in.

The VERY NEXT DAY, Rodrigo found a good deal on a 2006 Scion xB and he bought it. 4 days after that, I received a call from my friend Mel asking if Rodrigo would be interested in a shipping and receiving position out at her work out at Parker-Hannifin. He applied that day and within 24 hours, he was starting orientation! Without the car, he wouldn't have been able to take advantage of this job opening and without his job, he wouldn't have been able to sign a lease with me!! Divine Intervention really is a miracle. God is good and the universe is good. What seemed totally impossible 1 week ago, has become a reality for me. My life is transforming before my eyes. It amazes me what words can do. All you need is a little positive affirmation and things really begin to happen for you! You really need to make room for all the prosperity and you have to be willing to let go and get rid of anything negative. If you aren't ready for the change, it won't happen! This is where forgiveness comes in...you need to forgive to be able to let go. When it seems hard to let something go, forgive and you will find that it is easy to let go!! Forgive yourself and forgive everyone who has ever hurt you. Without this forgiveness, you harbor all that negativity and you can never move on. Clean out your life (literally!) and you will be amazed at what new gifts will arrive!!

Relief

I am relieved. A certain stressful situation has been eleviated and I feel a million times better!!
After differences with my room mates girlfriend could not be diffused, I had a private chat with my room mate on Sunday and he is moving out by December 1st. Rodrigo is going to move in and help me with the rent. YAY!! I'm so excited to have all the clutter gone and to have the whole house to ourselves. This really has blown over a lot easier than I ever expected it to. All weekend, I was preparing myself for yet another move this year, and it didn't end up like that at all. I get to stay in my lovely, brand new, close to work, comfortable, 3 bedroom house. It is simply amazing what a little positive affirmation does. And it's amazing what happens after you write something that you want down. IT REALLY DOES HAPPEN! I've manifested relief and comfort. And I get to stay where I am at! Thank you God! No more cluttery messes from other peoples stuff hanging around, no more strangers walking in and out of my house when I am not home and no more grimey bath tub!! The best part, is I will have peace and serenity at home now. I now have the wonderful holidays to look forward to with Rodrigo. Christmas is going to be wonderful this year. I can already tell.

I'm taking a time out.

I am going through a lot of changes in my life right now and I feel like I need to take a break. And being that I can't just run away to some secluded island in the Bahamas right now and plant my ass on a beach and drink rum drinks out of little coconuts, the following is in order as of Monday, November 5, 2007:

**********DISCLAIMER: DO NOT TAKE ANY OF THIS PERSONALLY********************

I'm taking a time out. I'm not going to answer any phone calls or texts and I'm not going to see anyone until Thanksgiving. I'm going to simply just work on me. I'm washing my hands of all things negative.

There are some people in my life that are really beginning to wear me down. It's getting so bad, that it's starting to bleed into other aspects of my life and it's beginning to tarnish the quality of my life right now. Don't get me wrong, I love being a strong person, and I love helping people with their problems. But it seems like I've reached a point that no matter what I do or say, nothing helps. I'm finding myself in a bitter and angry state of mind more often, and lately, it's been everyday. I absolutely hate myself when I am this way. I find myself lashing out at people for no reason and I often find myself picking myself apart. This "time out" is meant to be a positive, healthy growing and healing experience and in order to complete it, I need only positive around me. I'm going to take stock in what I am truly grateful for and what I truly value. I think this is a good idea, being that Thanksgiving is right around the corner. If you questions whether or not it is you that I may be avoiding, I would like you to answer of few of these questions to yourself. Based on the answers you may give, you might be one of those people!!!

1-How many things are you grateful for? Can you only count them on one hand? Or could you fill a whole page with them?
2-All things have a positive side to them, are you able to see the good in all things?
3-Do you make a full, 100% conscious effort to change things that you do not like about your life when you can?
4-Do you believe in positive affirmations? If so, do you utilize them?
5-Do you rely on other people in your life to fix things for you?
6-Do you live in regret? Or do you build from your experiences to create a positive lesson learned?
7-Do you push other people away but at the same time expect them to pity you for all the hardships in your life?
