You guys are brilliant, and you've pointed me towards something I haven't quite been seeing, about receiving. (spirit, what you've said stirred up something in me big time. Could you tell, by my resistance to the whole money thing, and the whole asking for support thing? I think you could.)
Anyway, my mind is a bit muddled, and my tendency is to try and burrow right down to resolution, but in this case I'm just letting things stew and allowing the insights to come to me, and practicing letting go of my resistance to allowing. Ai chihuahua!
Thanks, everyone, for your help, and I'll check back in when my mind is speaking English again.
