It is true in the metaphorical way and the actual way she lived, however-- she worried about not having enough, so she felt she never had enough.

I can't wrap my mind around how that relates to believing you have enough and living like you have more than enough, until you owe everybody loads of money. I mentioned on this forum a couple times about my friend who lived like he was real financially abundant and eventually they came and repossessed his Explorer.

To me, if I can say: "Look -- I created this mess" -- that means, I have the power to re-invent my life and clear things up lickety-splitly.
well, it is about perception isn't it. If you perceive you don't have enough - you don't have enough - doesn't matter what someone else says or believes about your state of being. Totally subjective.

So you need to find that place inside of you where you align with what you desire. there is no looking outside yourself for this. You must be able to feel abundant inside even though you perceive lack outside yourself with your physical senses. this is the point of the shift -this is the space where what was stops and what you desire to be springs forth.
