It's All In My Head...

I read something today that basically said that I will never be finished with my "to do" list..."All is well, and you will never get it done. " is what it actually said. And I felt this sense of calm come over me - a sense of relief. I almost ALWAYS have a sense that I haven't finished everything I am "supposed" to be doing. The laundry is still overflowing in the bins, my mural is stenciled on the wall, waiting to get painted, my holiday cards - not even begun! And all these things weigh on my mind as "failures" each and every day...for real.

Check this out: "You will never be in a place where all of the things that you are wanting will be satisfied right now, or then you could be complete -- and you never can be." Whoa. That lets me off the hook! I can never be complete...hmmmm. That's a trip. A lot to think about. So all is well right here, right now. I am going to take that in. If I'm truly able to internalize this concept, it could change my whole life.

What if I just looked at the unfinished things on my list as part of life; every day I will have some things on my 'finished' list, some things on my 'currently doing' list and some stuff on my 'unfinished' list? And what if I made a decision not to judge that - just let it be part of what IS, and what will always BE?

Abraham-Hicks (where the quotes are coming from) says that life is supposed to be fun. Here's the best part: "Everything is unfolding perfectly. All is really well. Have fun. Have fun. Have fun!" I'm gonna try!!! :)

Money Money Money

So part of my 2008 program is getting intimate with money. Luckily my ex-husband is giving me lots of opportunities to do this! I am being asked to disclose all of my financial information for the PAST THREE YEARS. Anyone that knows me knows that I would rather poke both of my eyes out with blunt knitting needles, repeatedly. Blah.

But! When life gives you crap, turn it into crapinade right? Actually, I want to look at my spending, my financial patterns, rather than fall back on my head-in-the-sand approach that has been my m.o. for all these years. I believe that spending time looking at my finances and being present with money matters will get me the results I've been wishing for. I'm calling in abundance for 2008 but this time, I am also tilling the soil, fertilizing it, watering, etc.

Two days ago I sat down with Andy and went over some medical bills that had been piling up. We worked out a payment schedule that seems possible to us and then I called the bookkeeper and asked her if that payment plan would work for her. She said "yes." And then I called the doctor to let her know that I had worked out a payment plan. Then I did some additional paperwork that needed to be done re. this matter. A weight was off my shoulders

The very next day, the VERY next day, I received some money that was owed to me. I had no idea it was coming and I was so happy to receive it. It felt like flow and I look forward to experiencing this more and more.

XOXO

Aarrghh

My inspiration hasn't been very 'daily' has it? Oops. Well, I'm practicing progress, not perfection. I really wanted to post daily but life gets ahead of me sometimes. I am painting a wall mural in my house of Medicine Buddha (the blue one) and it is really powerful. I only have the outline sketched but every time I work on the piece, I feel like I am receiving the Buddha's medicine. I'll post a picture of it when I'm done.

Lately I've had lots of opportunities to be creative and it feels good. I'm working on a glass/collage piece for a friend's birthday and my wall mural and perhaps a silk painting for a little later on in the month. I'm trying to come up with a beautiful, inexpensive type of greeting card (love in the new year - belated happy holidays, etc.) but perhaps it will turn into a Valentine's greeting?? Could be appropriate seeing as I believe 2008 will be a big HEART OPENING year!!!

Ok, that's all for now - good night and big love.

xoxo

Happy New Year

Wishing you and yours a healthy, abundant, LOVE filled 2008. My intention for the new year is to continue to reach out to others and create a network of spiritual companions and to continue to listen to the voice within and let it out! What about you?

xoxo
