Thanks, Everyone.

I am not needing proof about IM or LoA. I have always believed, I just didn't know there was a word or theory for what I believed. So, it's not like I have to stretch to believe or anything. And, I don't need proof to live my life in a positive manner.

Learning about the theory, teachings, or whatever we call it, is helping me be more focused on actually creating my world. That part I am LOVING. No more excuses. No more "victim mentality." No more flip-flopping around without a clue on who I even AM. (does that even make sense to anyone but me??? lol)

I am getting better and better at devoting at least 15 minutes in the morning to meditating about my day. I have done it every morning this week! I am truly amazed at how that alone spins things in a positive direction.

Impaul99, I will keep it going, and I am so patient. It is totally "unlike" me. Or, should, I say, it used to be "me" to be impatient and filled with anxiety, but I like my patient-self better and plan on staying this way.

ALSO.. I have always tried to live a life of gratitude by giving. But, this week, more than ever, after my meditating, I truly understand that resources flow THROUGH me. I don't have to "hoarde" or worry about getting "my fair share" or worry about competing for anything. This was kind of a revelation I had on Sunday.

So, I am making it a point to give something of myself freely to others every day ~ Random Acts of Kindness. Not as a way to get what I want, but just as my way of giving thanks for my life.

I also see how it's not about specifics, so much. I don't have to worry about every detail. The details will come as they may. All I have to really DO is "be". That is so freeing. I don't feel filled with anxiety or worry at all. I am just living my life, doing what I see needs to be done and trusting the rest will work out as it may. I have my "requests" and intentions out there and I really do trust things will work out. I have my "To Do" lists each day, and I tackle those, but I am not WORRIED about tomorrow or next week, you know?

Wow.

Not a bad way to live.

I learn so much from a lot of you here. I thank you for putting yourselves out there and sharing ideas that still so many question. I get it. I truly get it and I am so glad you all share your experiences so we can all grow! I feel like a totally different person from who I was just two weeks ago (in all good ways). THANKS!!!
