The metaphor of my looking for gold nuggets in sand (gold dust) covered EXACTLY the area of my life that I am focusing on right now, financial freedom.

(Since I was not sure how this metaphor can be translated directly to help my frantic "search for the gold," I tried play-acting the sifting of gold dust with my hands and added the feeling of having abundance while doing so. For now, I figure feeling abundance, joy for my daily experiences will help me understand the metaphor)

Find my True North: I did Steve's Podcast #15 "What is your Purpose?" and I find my old business is closer to my True North than my new business of purchasing foreclosures.

The reading also said foreclosures is not my True North.

A week later, I gave up buying the foreclosure (the day before closing, the building manager let me know there is a building violation with accrued assessments and that was the last straw that helped me justify breaking the deal. Strangely, the County Building and Violations Dept did not have such a violation in their records)

As for raising my vibration, I tried clearing my chakras and walked up to a higher meeting place to meet my HS. Everytime (except once) I do this (and when my 14 month old daughter is sleeping at my home) she screams terrified.

This happened about 5 times so I stopped doing this when we are under the same roof. (in the past, the same thing happened with my teenage son except I was just thinking bad thoughts). Erin, do you know what's going on here?

I asked whether I should continue a process I'm doing of feeling positive and negative emotions extremely with physical manifestations. My HS knew the exact problem I was having with this process and suggested I discontinue it. (My problem is that I am not able to "get through" the negative emotions completely so I "attract" more of it)

Last message from HS, "I define myself" is again very apropos since pleasing others and avoiding their wrath often in the past determined my actions. Instead, I am to follow my own True North and make sure I smile more.

All in all, my feeling is that I know all this. However, these messages had small voices out of the thousands of competing voices and Erin helped make them louder to call my attention to them.

I not only get the messages but they tend to stick in my mind and replay at appropriate moments.

Thanks Erin!
