I DON"T KNOW!!!!!

The election campaign, the verdict in the trial...

There is so much to say that there is nothing to say.

So...


I DON"T KNOW!!!

When you think of your finances - embrace them. 2 + 2 always equals 4.
Don't avoid , unlike politics and trials there can be no spin. If you have less or more than you think, be accountable for your actions. Write down what you earn and what you spend. Pull out the calculator and by the end of the month KNOW. In these days and times embrace the numbers.

PLAN OF ACTION:
Grab your pencils and calculators and start being accountable for your financial life.

MYSELF FIRST

"An old man once said when I was young and free and my imagination had no limits, I dreamed of changing the world. As I grew older and wiser, I realized that the world would not change. Then I decided to shorten my sights somewhat and change my country, but it to seemed immovable. As I entered my twilight years, in one last desperate attempt I sought to change only my family and only those closest to me. But alas, they would have none of it. And now I lie here on my death bed and I realize perhaps for the very first time, that if I had only changed myself first, then by example, I may have influenced my family. And with their encouragement and support, I may have bettered my country. And who knows, I may have even changed the world."
Excerpt from Ladies Can We Talk - Candid Conversations -
by Lisa Nichols & Sanyika Calloway Boyce


Do you find yourself often thinking that your financial situation would be much better if "he" would just stop buying...? Do you spend a lot of time imagining if "she" would just listen to you and stop needing....? How much time do you spend going to an event and thinking you've already heard this before...you know this already...What if you were so powerful that the person affecting your finances was you? Don't wait until you are on your death bed. Try just for one day taking responsibility for the role you play in your finances, your relationships, your life!

PLAN OF ACTION:
Notice how often you focus without.
Stop, breath. breath. Focus within.

Notice how often you talk. Notice how often you listen.

We can control no one except ourselves.

SPECIAL EVENT THIS SATURDAY!
Saturday, April 26, 10:30am-6pm
Affinia Manhattan Hotel, Ballroom
371 Seventh Avenue, between 30th and 31st streets

The Emergence of the "Higher We"
For more details: http://www.andrewcohen.org/ny/
Andrew Cohen in New York for One Day Only!
"I believe that the only way to our higher development lies in a shared experience of consciousness beyond ego. In this experience, a momentous leap occurs. It is a leap from I to We - from extreme individuation to a higher We consciousness, in which everyone simultaneously experiences individual and collective transparency while remaining fully and completely themselves."

A day that will aid in understanding the possibilities of going within.

EXPLOSION OF AWARENESS


BUT THERE SOMETIMES COMES A MOMENT, A SMALL SILENT WHITE EXPLOSION OF AWARENESS, THAT SIGNALS THE ENDING OF ONE OF THOSE LONG, SWEET, SUSPENDED TIMES AS SURELY AS THE BOATING OF A GREAT SHIP AS IT NEARS THE HARBOR, AND THOSE CAUGHT BY THE AWARENESS FEEL THE GREAT COLD BREATH OF ENDINGS AND BEGINNINGS ON THE BACKS OF THEIR NECKS AND PRICKLE WITH A PORTENT THEY CANNOT NAME. ONLY THEN DO THEY LOOK AROUND THEM AND SEE BEYOND THE FAMILIAR INNER LANDSCAPE THE SHADOW OF COMING CHANGE, FEEL THE WIND OF ITS WINGS. THESE ARE FRIGHTENING MOMENTS. NOBODY EMBRACES THEM. WHEN THEY HAVE PASSED, MOST PEOPLE WILL PUT GREAT ENERGY INTO PRETENDING THEY DID NOT OCCUR. BUT YOU CANNOT UNKNOW THE FUTURE ONCE YOU HAVE SENSED IT. AND SO FOREVER AFTER YOU WILL MARK THOSE EPOCHAL PASSAGES BY THE FIRST MOMENT YOU FELT THEIR SHAPES AHEAD OF YOU.
Author Unknown



Many of us try to unknow what we already "know" in our core. As we push past the explosion and pretend to suck the energy back in, after it's already exploded, conflict, hardship and pain occur over and over again. Until we are willing to let go and be in the unknown of the exploded debris, we delay allowing our cores to be free. As I continuously see through my customers, who are reflections of me; the sheer terror to let go of doing what we've always done in order to have what we've always said we wanted. If we do not open the bills, if we do not make more than we spend, if we charge in order to look good, if we keep ourselves isolated, if we do not hold ourselves accountable for our actions, if we do not step off the cliffs and dare the unknown then...then...then...let's stop pretending, stop breaking contracts, stop hiding, sink into the fear, be accountable and together let's attain that which we keep saying we desire.



Thank you Uncle Tim for sharing this quote with me.
Happy Birthday R.P. and A.M.!

Thank you very much for your happy birthday wishes!


PLAN OF ACTION:
You tell me.
Hint: What are you afraid to do, think or say?
DO IT, THINK IT, SAY IT!

SPIRITUAL PILGRIMAGE





"Having traveled the road of recovery from compulsive indebtedness for more than seven years now, I can say that what looked like a journey from debt to solvency was indeed that, but it was much, much more. This road proved to be a spiritual pilgrimage that was convened by money but was much larger and deeper than money per se."

Release from Debtor's Prison: Achieving Financial Freedom: A Proven Formula For Changing The Attitudes & Habits That Keep You In Debt by
Margaret St. John


On Monday, April 14th I will turn 35 years old. What a journey it has been.
I'm looking forward to truly forging a new path. How? I don't know.

I spent the weekend in a meditation retreat. My journey with my finances as definitely led me on a "spiritual pilgrimage". How I am with my finances has been impatient and unsatisfied. That is certainly how I have been in my life. Impatient and unsatisfied. After 5 hours of meditation on the second day, I swear I was so fed up, I wanted to stand up, scream, throw a temper tantrum, never to return to anything that even smelled of meditation ever again. But there were others around so there I sat. But my reaction was very accurate to how I am in life. Fed up with strong urges to get the heck out. (Last year, I spent my birthday at Mars 2112 - yes, urges even to get off the planet) I was satisfied with this in my life, my relationships, my careers etc. but over time I wasn't satisfied with this behavioral pattern with my money. I could plainly see that there was no way that with this pattern I would ever really be able to BUILD something.


I kept speaking that I wanted to build my finances, my wealth, abundance, and peace but my actions of getting out, starting over, getting out and starting over worked against what I spoke. It was only in alignment with what I knew...with what I had always done. Find a hobby, relationship, career, etc. where my interest is sparked and I pour everything into it. Then when it doesn't happen as fast as I want or I can't control everything about it then I get out and start something else and the cycle continues over again.

The difference this time is that...well...I know abundance is right here...I know the only thing in my way is and has always been myself and old familiar habits. The only way to break them or at least be aware of them so I can see before I walk out are that I have partnerships and coaches and communities surrounding me to remind me when I forget that I am on a "spiritual pilgrimage" that will put me in alignment consistently with what I say I want. So I sat through the meditation and I'll force myself to go every Thursday and practice letting go, patience and allowing in. I will practice allowing my actions to be in alignment with my words.

When I started focusing on needing and wanting to get out of debt, I had no idea where it was going to lead. Ironically, meditation, I've always avoided. Give me tae bo, aerobics and talking any day. For once in my life seven years, from now I can't even pretend that I know where or how or what I will be doing but I can say who I will always aspire to BE.


PLAN OF ACTION:
What are some of your behavioral patterns around your money?
Can you see the same behaviors reflected in your life?
What tools can aid you in getting you closer to who you have always wanted to BE?


Come celebrate my 35th with me!
