Day 11, Sunday, August 30, 2009

Yeah Angels! Had a fun time at the ballpark. Had my first ballpark hot dog. Yum. And best of all, we had great seats, the tickets were a gift and we had two extra tickets that someone bought from us for $20 (which was a really good deal for them as they were $70 face value). So that paid for our parking and one beer. My buddy Torii and Vlad really came to hit. And we won. Woo hoo!

Okay, how exciting. I was just interrupted to answer the phone and my oldest son called to let me know congratulations is in order. He asked his girlfriend to marry him and she said yes. Wedding in 2011.

So, isn't life grand? I think so.

What I also wanted to share was that I agreed to filming job for my friend, Bill. He wanted me to film him at his Sunday morning Tai Chi so he can get better. It was a lovely park and all was going well until one of the gals who is in the group decided she didn't want to be filmed...never mind don't put this on YouTube...even after I assured her I wouldn't put it on YouTube nor was it going to be for anything but instructional purposes for Bill.

Her words were she wanted me to erase every part of the video that she was in. I sort of took it to erase her out of it...not erase everything, which I find to be not unreasonable. And I wanted to accommodate her. I wanted to honor her wishes. I don't enjoy having my image captured in any way either.

As I was leaving I wanted to explain to her again that I would do everything I could to honor her wishes, but I didn't know how to erase just her image from the video. What was interesting to me is that even though she mentioned she was honoring her heart (and isn't this all about my 100 day open heart journey?) by requesting this of me (and I so understood where she was coming from)...it was almost as if she wasn't hearing me. Or as if she didn't expect her desire to be honored by me.

So as I decided to give up trying to explain that I would do what I could to honor her request as it appeared to be falling on deaf ears and was pointless at this point, I couldn't help but be somewhat bothered.

There really is very little drama in my life anymore that seems to directly be something I am involved in. Although, I find now via ho'oponopono that this means I am ready for the next level, full...100% responsibility for everything that shows up in my life even if it isn't something that is a "problem" I am experiencing directly. The very fact it has shown up in my awareness means it is in my consciousness and so it needs to be cleaned and cleared and replaced with divine "zero limits" love and well-being.

If I didn't deal with this it would get stuck in my consciousness and I would have to deal with it at some point.

What is so wonderful is that I have ho'oponopono as a tool to love it and release it. So, I have honored her request and said those magic 10 words until I felt at peace with it all.

I love you. I'm sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you.

Bless you. Bless me. Bless it all. It's all divine.

Day 10, Saturday, August 29, 2009

This morning, despite being happily awakened by a phone call from my oldest son, well...let's just say I don't jump right out of bed feeling thrilled that anything great is going to happen today or...well...I'm not sure of the words to say.

Yesterday, I took a break from being on the computer. I had some wonderful moments, like filming the wonderful water show going on in my front yard. Children amaze me. It's been hot in our area (hotter than normal...hot enough for air conditioning). And while the kids weren't at a five star resort or at the beach or what most would have to feel is the place they need to be in order to feel like it is worthy of them, etc., these kids were having so much fun. There were many screams of delight. I can only assume that in their minds none of that mattered...only the pleasure and joy of the moment.

Anyway, what I didn't even intend to write the above paragraph. Interesting. What I felt inspired to write about today was how I can be. Getting an insight into my knee-jerk ways. I was on such a high Thursday feeling how great an idea I had been inspired and entrusted with. And then yesterday and even this morning before I faced my computer (I know it sounds funny as I write it) expecting there would be someone, somewhere who would ridicule me for having such an idea. And as I write that, I can see how sad if something like that runs me. For I'm sure every idea must have those who will ridicule it or tell you it's stupid or whatever. So one can see why I was in not the best, most aligned with divine love well-being place this morning.

So, I made the coffee and I gingerly powered up my laptop. First thing I do is check my msn email, which is pretty much dedicated to the daily messages from the universe, tut.com. They only come Monday through Friday, but I didn't see yesterdays. And I have to send out love and appreciation to Mike Dooley because Friday's message put me right back into love.

Remember, I'm on an open heart challenge. How much can I come from my open heart and love in each moment during these 100 days?

As I went through my sort of routine (although I am not a fan of routines and I do try to change it up), not one word of ridicule. And my mind started getting into peace and thinking more about my idea and if it truly came as inspiration, then it is a divine and sacred idea. It is important for me to remember that for starters.

And then I started to think about what our world might be like it I asked for help to spread the word and everyone had some sort of web presence that had a donate button on it. And everyone practiced giving 10% of the wealth that flows to them...just because...no expectations...to those who when asking their heart they felt inspired them that day. And they were able to do so because everyone had a donate button they could access. And as this progressed, maybe the donate button actually became the choice of having a "gift" button or inspired giving button or something like that. And that with the inspired giving button PayPal included the software so that the source of the gift was left anonymous to help ensure the gift was given from the heart with no expectation.

I started thinking about the well-being this would enhance in our globe...amping this vibration. And the well-being it added to our global fiscal fitness because it would encourage wealth circulation from a place of love and peace and giving...some of the highest vibrations definitely in harmony with love, an open heart and well-being.

That in truth, I should feel such immense from my open heart appreciation for being entrusted with such a divinely inspired, global enhancing idea. Even more importantly, I should feel humbled because I need the help of spreading the word and participation from others, etc., in order for the "big vision" to become manifest.

In closing, what I am really doing is asking for help. I am asking for those who read this to visit http://www.friendsofthelawofattraction.com. I am asking for those who read this to participate in the currency cleanse on 090909. I am asking for those who read this to check out the currency cleanse page and the appreciation and giving page. I am asking for help spreading this message. I am asking the universe to help me attract those who can help make this divine idea a manifested reality. You never know how the web of who knows who can help get the word into the hands of those who can help.

I thank the divine for entrusting me with this idea. Somehow, I figure I may not be the only one. And I thank all of you...anyone and everyone who was giving enough to help me spread the word or do whatever they feel motivated to do to help this vision manifest.

Namaste.

Things that make me go hmmmm

You know lots and lots of moments are actually experienced in 24-hours.

And as I if I, ('cuz according to my new programming I have ONLY 1 direction in my life now and it is forward) look back ever to read about my experiences...it probably says almost as much about me about what I don't include in this blog as what I do. Especially, that as much as I would like to think I am writing what I would write if I knew no one was "watching", I know it does have an effect.

That's all. Not to be confused with "that's all folks" like in the Warner Bros. Cartoons.

When I write "that's all", if you have seen the movie, The Devil Wears Prada", it is with that same sort of everything that Meryl Streep did when her character would say it.

That's all.

Day 8, Thursday, August 27, 2009

Greetings and salutations.

My blog is going to be short 'cuz I've already been at the computer for too long and I want to watch Royal Pains in six minutes.

I have been touched by Lilou's honesty (the CCOR open-heart challenge is her baby). I think with all she does and learns about she appears to still be frustrated about flowing actual cash or money to her to circulate.

Then yesterday I read the free book Dr. Joe Vitale just put out on the internet, Attract Money Now, and step 2 is about giving without expectation. Read the book to find out more. Click here to get access to your free digital copy.

One of the other things the book mentions is when you receive inspired action, to act on it. I received inspired action and I have acted. The result can be viewed by clicking here.

I will try to find a way to mention this to Lilou as well. If she takes action, I will be able to send her some money. And if you click to view the result, you will understand everything.

TTFN (ta ta for now)

Thank you, for reading.

Day 7, Wednesday, August 26, 2009

So today would have been my dad's 76th birthday. Happy Birthday, Dad. Thank you for the blessings you helped my soul experience. I hope wherever you are in your soul's journey it is filled with love and blessings. My dad passed over ten years ago.

So, if you are reading this, where's day 1 through day 6? I had already set up a google account for blog spot under a business my son and I share, http://www.beerchillin.us. What's a so called spirituality fanatic doing with a business that more or less promotes beer? That's another story. And the real gist of our business is we sell beer steins and promote beer as a way to chill...not to get drunk. And the stein as a way of enjoying your sudsy beverage in a way that makes you feel rich as you drink whatever beer you enjoy. As a way to celebrate and toast to the good life.

Since the account is in my name, when I decided to do this blog Google wouldn't let me cancel this account to set up another. And try as I might to get them to and/or figure out how to add the blog I started be part of this account...I couldn't figure it out.

This seemed a great compromise since I was only five days into the old one and everything I've written I have also posted to my CCOR (co-creators of reality) page.

After today, this blog and my CCOR page will track again. Whoo hoo!

If you are interested in my CCOR page, you can click here.

If you are interested in the CCOR page for the 100 day open-heart challenge, click here.

Today, I was excited to see that Dr. Joe Vitale's book Attract Money Now is available to download in digital form for reading. If you would like to get your own copy, click here.

I read it. I loved it. And yet, to be honest, I was a little sad by it 'cuz he includes everything I've been feeling and sensing as truth but didn't have the confidence to write myself. And there is a part of me that feels like why try? Why reinvent the wheel when he has expressed it so wonderfully. And it sort of makes me rethink what it is I feel like I have been going for with the business I wished to start. And so there is some sadness.

And yet, part of me feels like in as much as it has derailed me a little, I still feel committed to living more from my heart. And that what Dr. Joe Vitale describes as Dr. Hew Len's philosophy of life where you actually get to the point of not even needing intention (except that I still must have to have the attention to follow what Dr. Hew Len teaches, eh?) is such an open heart place.

Also, as I was writing stuff (if I read a how-to type book, I like to write out things that sort of shout-out to me as something I want to remember from the book as a way of reinforcing the teaching), it occurred to me that while my time reading the book and spreading the word is well-spent, I am still in love with the whole ho'oponopono concept and how it applies to living with an open-heart.

Dr. Hew Len basically puts it out there that in every moment I should be silently saying the 10 ho'oponopono words (I'm sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you.) to myself and to the divine. This tracks with my intention to be 100% impeccable. And to be more like God consciousness in the sense that Dr. Hew Len doesn't limit what I see as divine as being simply other humans. It's all divine. It's all energy.

What occurred to me in the context with the Law of Attraction is that if in evey moment I simply practice as Dr. Hew Len describes and continue to repeat (or as much of every moment as I am able and think of it consciously until I get to every moment) the 10 words, well, when is the point of attraction? Right. The point of attraction is in the point of attention, which is in the present moment.

It stands to reason then that if in every moment I am continually reciting the 10 words (and maybe, I cheat a little, but don't think it can hurt 'cuz I like to repeat what Brad Yates says in his ho'oponopono video and you can see a lot of this and more if you, click here) and pepper in the "Thank you for the blessings I have. Thank you for the blessings I am receiving" then in every moment I am vibing more and more in harmony with divine love.

And as I vibe more in harmony with divine love, then what could there be to fear. What must show up...what I must then start attracting on a moment to moment basis is only going to be more and more in harmony with divine love. Sometimes I like to misspell harmony and spell it har-money, as harmony with the divine is harmony with all aspects of well-being, which include health, wealth, beauty, love, joy, peace, etc.

I mentioned too, that ho'oponopono is simple. It's easy to remember. It almost makes it easier to have me be told to just do it all the time 'cuz then I don't have to remember when to do it and when not to do it. And here's what seems like it will be the other benefit: it helps me let go of resistance. It is helping me let go of deciding if what is showing up is something I should like or not, instead it simply frees me to love it and then say next. Or as the prayer implies. By repeating it, it frees me up to either forgive myself for whatever was in my consciousness that I attracted it into my awareness. Then I appreciate it and love it and bless it and send it on its way for the next best, more in alignment with divine love and well-being experience to show up.

And I have to say that this sort of thing has opened the door for me to love a seeming virus threat and love it out of my life. And it opened the door from unexpected cash to start flowing in from places I so didn't expect.

Okay, so all in all, the book was worthy of the read. I would recommend it. And how can you go wrong with such wonderful information shared freely and requiring only an investment of your time.

It's going to be exciting to see how my life is different at the end of the 100 days. On day 83 I will turn 50 in earth years. I've always had a feeling I would live past 100 physical years in this lifetime and in a fabulous and fit and full of well-being way. This could be an awesome way to herald in the second half of this glorious incarnation.

And so it is.

P.S. Brad Yates has a wonderful (at least in my opinion) program he did in conjunction with Dr. Joe Vitale that incorporates EFT, called Money Beyond Belief. Probably the best $49 investment I've made in a long time. One of the things included in the program is a short audio to tap on embracing change. Had I known at how helpful just this short audio would be, well... If you are interested in finding out more about this program, please click here.

Welcome

This is my blog.

How original is that?

I know...so many blogs. Why bother?

I want to record my journey, the journey that tracks my decision to participate in the 100-day open heart challenge which started on August 20, 2009. So, I am really writing this for me. I promised myself I would not get hung up on whether what I was writing was good or perfect English or anything anyone cared about. Yet, I would still put it out there and mention it on Twitter (go #TwitterPower) and just let whoever seemed attracted to be attracted in whatever way they felt attracted.

And so it is!
