BE PROACTIVE IN YOUR LIFE: DECIDE WHAT YOU WANT, BE CLEAR AND COME FROM A PLACE OF STRENGTH



I had coffee with a new friend from a group known as Master Minds. There are many things that I like about this group and one is that they speak of how we are all Individualized Expressions of The Divine. I love that! We are made in the likeness and image of God, so while we are all the same, we are all different as well, individuals!

The other thing that they talk about is Quantum Physics. The movie “What the Bleep?” was popular awhile back and of course the book “The Secret” continues to be practiced by many that I know. Tonight I’m going to see the author of the book “What If” here in Tubac, Az., who speaks on quantum physics. (By the way, I wanted to see him, didn’t want to spend the money. At this coffee meeting, I sold 2 books. Exactly for the cost of the dinner and talk tonight!” I was clear with what I wanted and the Universe/God made it a reality.)

The hardest part in this is to decide what it is that you want and then to be clear with your intentions.

The healing work that I am interested in, NAET, Emotional Healing, Rising Star Energy Healing are all a result of quantum physics or so I’m told!

My friend began to talk about in Quantum Physics, first comes conscious (knowing what you want) to material ( letting it manifest). I had him explain. He said, “You do it all of the time. You said you wanted to sell your house, for this price in this many days. You consciously decided what you wanted and then the Universe manifested it into reality.” The same with your new Energy Wand. You said, you wanted to the wand to take on your last trip, for your relatives. While it didn’t seem financially possible, the money came and your wish was manifested into material being.”
(I actually do know how to ground Spirit into Matter, it’s part of what I brought with me to this world. It’s finally nice to experience it in a conscious way.)

The secret is to be POSITIVE, BE PROACTIVE, BE CLEAR AND COME FROM A PLACE OF STRENGTH. KNOW THAT YOU ARE THE CREATOR OF YOUR LIFE! YOU DESERVE YOUR HEARTS DESIRES! WHEN WE’RE HAPPY, IT OVERFLOWS TO OTHERS! YOUR FAMILY, COMMUNITY AND THE WORLD BECOMES HAPPY! SEE, IT’S OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO BE HAPPY! IF WE CAN’T QUITE TAKE OWNERSHIP OF IT FOR OURSELVES JUST YET, THINK OF THE KINDNESS YOU’RE DOING FOR HUMANITY!!!!

HAVE FUN CREATING! THE CANVAS IS BLANK AND YOU CAN MAKE YOUR LIFE HOWEVER YOU WANT!!!!

I CONSCIOUSLY LET GO OF MY LAST SECURITY, RIVERBEND RETREAT HOUSE



While visiting the Wizards (my family) in Oz, (Kansas), I was dealing with my house rental. While it had been great the first year that I rented it, the second renters were not as cooperative. I had finally hired a property management company (who did a worse job than I was doing) and we gave 30 day notice to the tenants. I then had to hire legal services to complete the process.

Still not sure if I was going to re-rent or sell, I knew of someone who thought that they may be interested in renting the property, which didn’t pan out. (Roadblocks) To be honest with myself, I had been borrowing money to move ETL forward, money that was tied up in the house. Next step, test the waters for selling. It was a big decision as it would be the end of my past life, my last connection with my dad (on a material level) and a dying of Patty Hobbs and a life style of the past. All loans and all banking in California would come to a close. No real connection to California would be left, well except my driver’s license and car registration.

On Wednesday, I called the realtor, put the house on the market and had nearly a full offer on Saturday. They were asking for $2,800 credit for closing costs and they wanted me to pump the septic. The tears began to flow. Was it because of the previous reasons mentioned or was it that I was mad at God/The Universe, for giving me $2,800 less than what I said? (A test:) Once I came to my senses, I knew that I needed the full price in order to be sure that I was to sell, after all, it hadn’t even hit the MLS market yet.

While I wanted to be fair and compromise with the new buyers, I also wanted to leave the land ‘sacred’ for the new owners of the Riverbend Retreat House and so I agreed to pump the septic. (A willingness to clean up the last of my ‘shit!’!)

While it is a bit scary for me and I easily can spin in the ‘it’s not the right time to sell’ attitude that many share with me, I can say that it was the right time for me. The doors were clearly closing in the rental arena and while I love Grass Valley and the people, I knew that it wasn’t where I was to live.

Like in the Wizard of Oz, Glenda, the good witch said to Dorothy, The Tin Man and Lion, YOU HAVE THE POWER YOU’VE ALWAYS HAD IT, we know the answers to all of our questions. They are inside of us. We have the power to do and make changes in our lives. We just have to believe that we do!

So now that I have made the decision and I’m flowing in the river once again, I’ll remember what the Hopi Elders said, “Push off the edge and flow with the waters.” I’ll not cling to the familiar, holding onto the edge, while loose debris rams into me. Instead of trying to paddle my way up a very swift stream, I’m going to relax, not look back and trust that the waters that I’m floating on will continue carry me to new adventures and I’ll leave the ‘What if’s and doubts behind!”

Happy New Beginnings as jobs and schools resume!!!!!

STRAIGHTEN IT OUT AND BRING EM HOME! (BASEBALL)




Just an update on my travels. Here in Kansas City, visited my cousins and my grandma’s old home town. Last night, the hottest day of the year, we went to the Royals Baseball Game. (Picture, a view from our seats.) My cousin had gotten tickets from his work, right behind the dugout, second row back. I laughed when I heard my cousin yell, “Straighten it out and bring ‘em home!” They didn’t of course! But it was a beautiful night and there is something about being at the ball park, beer, peanuts and not climbing to the heights of the nose bleed section.

Today I spent the day with my cousins and Aunt and Uncle and was warmly welcomed to the devotional group to discuss my latest book, GPS for Living. I’ve also been warmly supported by my 2 cousins, P1 and P3. (I’m P2) I gave a few massages and took my Aunt and Uncle to dinner. One of the workers at the Retirement community that my Aunt and Uncle live at is from Nigeria, the same tribe as my Nigerian friend in Los Angeles. We made a call!

I signed the papers to put the Riverbend Retreat house on the market. Interesting that I signed the papers while in Kansas, the place I was born. (Must be some symbolism there:-)

Leaving tomorrow to see my brother and his family (5 hrs away, south) and I understand that there was a lot of tornado damage there. Without a tv or newspaper, I am not aware of the many natural disasters that had happened here in the midwest. In fact, the Atchison area (my grandma’s old stomping ground) is so flooded, that the bridge is closed, the water, (still) is at the top of the banks along the river and from the right view, it looks like an ocean, water as far as you can see, rather than a river.

Saturday, visiting my aunt on my dad’s side and then Sunday, back to ????? Not exactly sure. My plane flies to Los Angeles, but my daughter has my car and I haven’t received my traveling orders:-) So stay well and happy! Just wanted to keep you updated.
