Life without living in the moment is like life without paying attention. Paying attention is a very economical and most efficient way to live. The way God meant it to be and the easiest way. Each moment that we pay attention, we get something back in return.
When we pay attention to what is going on around us, we can then live happy, joyous and free in each and every moment, . We appreciate and give thanks for everything we are given. If we grumble about what is being taken away from us, each of these moments is lost. If we can find what is being given to us in every moment, we are living a full life.
Yes, I know that not every moment, due to life around us, is all fun and games. perhaps, it may work for you to do as I like to do, and that is to pay attention to what lesson we may learn from even the bad moments.
"Author Unknown ... Imagine that you had won the following prize in a contest: Each morning your bank would deposit $ 86,400.00 in your private account for your use. However, this prize had rules, just as any game has certain rules. The first set of rules would be:
1. Everything that you didn't spend during each day would be taken away from you.
2. You may not simply transfer money into some other account.
3. You may only spend it. Each morning upon awakening, the bank opens your account with another $86,400.00 for that day.
The second set of rules:
1. The bank can end the game without warning; at any time it can say, "It's over, the game is over!"
2. It can close the account and you will not receive a new one. What would you personally do? You would buy anything and everything you wanted, right? Not only for yourself, but for all people you love, right? Even for people you don't know, because you couldn't possibly spend it all on yourself, right? You would try to spend every cent, and use it all, right?
ACTUALLY, THIS GAME IS REALITY!! Each of us is in possession of such a "magical" bank. We just can't seem to see it. THE Magical BANK IS TIME! Each awakening morning we receive 86,400 seconds as a gift of life, and when we go to sleep at night, any remaining time is NOT credited to us. What we haven't lived up that day is forever lost. Yesterday is forever gone.
Each morning the account is refilled, but the bank can dissolve your account at any time ... WITHOUT WARNING. WELL, what will you do with your 86,400 seconds? Aren't they worth so much more than the same amount in dollars? Think about that, and always think of this: Enjoy every second of your life, because time races by so much quicker than you think. So take care of yourself, and enjoy life! Here's wishing you a wonderfully beautiful day!!!"
With Warmest Wishes,
Heidi

A Real Life Manifestation
Well, hello, everyone,
It's been a long while since my last post and boy, do I have a story for you!
Get yourself a fresh beverage, sit back, and read about a whopper of a manifestation in my life.
I've spent much time reading about and learning the principles of healthy, balanced living and learning how to apply the methods of the so called "Secret" to be at peace in my life and have everything I want.
Well, I am of the belief that this secret is not, nor has it ever been a real secret.
For lifetimes throughout history, humans somewhere in the world used the practices of the law of attraction to know how to achieve things seemingly impossible to others who do not hold the same knowledge and beliefs.
So, my story begins about one month after my last post,over a year ago, when I was formally acquainted with someone I had met on a mailing list... a jokes mailing list to be specific.
and no joke, Bingo, through a series of humorous and a bit embarrassing events, we started corresponding and instantly and completely fell in love.
Somehow, We immediately connected and Allan and I became the fastest of friends and oh, so obviously more. I somehow knew I had met the man I had envisioned I might one day marry.
I had, not long before, decided to give up the looking for love approach and started to look for working on making my business into what I really wanted. I said to the univers ... I said, "universe, these are the things I want in a person and if, as unlikely as it seems that person is out there, somewhere, let our paths somehow cross.
I will not settle for nor be distracted by someone less than what I envision is right for me.
I said unlikely, because I couldn't imagine all the various and incompatible characteristics I had wished for all in the same person. Frankly, the guy would have to be a nut!
Universe, I said, If this man is out there show him to me, only when I am ready to have this happiness.
The best part is, before I ever told Allan about this amazing attraction thing, he said to me ... you are all the things I knew I wanted in a person and I had given up looking, I just accepted that such a person could never be found, because all these characteristics could not possibly co exist in one person.
He never once though, gave up on the idea of true love existing between two people who found their soul mates.
I feel this is why both of our visions of our perfect mate came to be manifested
A slight challenge to the whole thing, was that Allan lives in England and I live in Florida.
Not to worry, a first meeting trip was quickly booked and we met face to face in October. Two more trips soon followed in February and May. May's visit brought a proposal and beautiful ring.Each visit made us more and more sure that our destiny together in life was set.
Since Allan has a fantastic job where there is reasonable security and stability, obviously, the most prudent and wise choice was for me to move to England.
His accomidations could not support this idea, so our next visualization was of a place for us to be able to be together and live comfortably .
Well, within less than a month, the most wonderfully perfect place came into view. Again, through a series of wonderful coincidences and synchronicities it soon became ours and the moving began.
Some minor challenges have arisen as to how to get me over there. Things such as issues with getting my guide dog Walker into the country. Issues with my getting my passport, and other such basic things when relocating internationally.
As it now is, Allan has moved into the new quote "flat" unquote ... I'm gonna love learning a new language. grin ... He's got one more visit in November and I'll move in February.
These plans have changed and evolved to what they are over the past months, but, somehow, the universe's opportunities were given to us to get to our conclusion. No matter how hard we tried to plan things like we wanted, our plans just weren't manifesting and other options made themselves clear.
It became obvious to us that the law of attraction isn't just I want this and this is how I'm going to get it and poof it's there. No, it is mor like, just visualize the desire realize it happening, and allow life's opportunities to arrive. Recognize them, and act on them, despite fear, doubt, or what the world might think is crazy.
There can be no doubt. When you see what you want you must believe in your own mind that it is yours, just keep seeing it and believing.
It will come to you.
Don't give up and yes, be patient. Maybe it is true that you are not yet ready for what you are seeing and must learn more experiencial lessons.
Our mistakes in life will teach these to us.
I love how the whole manifesting through the power of source works...
How the law of attracting this source of creation into our life really is an absolute law.
Try it. It works for you, too. smile

Finding Hope
Where does hope come from? ...
How do you have it if you don't want it ...
How do you, for that matter, want it if you really don't see the point.
It is such a tumultuous world in which we live, and therefore, it is often difficult to see the proverbial silver lining around anything.
Here is where the key of hope falls into place.
If we understand the principle of honesty and that being 100% honest *all* of the time is essential to our best interest, well, you must admit that hope is easy.
Hope is a choice to make.
This means there is a solution that can be made by you..
The truth is that there is always a solution.
The truth is, also, that it is not always going to be easy.
Please remember that anything in life that is worth anything of real value, often requires effort.
The Effort becomes easier, however, if one truly finds passion for what he believes.
Find a spark of passion for believing in yourself ... that spark is called hope ... *smile*.
Being without hope, honestly, does not make any sense.
If you are without it, the only logical choice is to give up ... guess what? Well, in my own belief, you get to.
There may or may not be more to it.
It's a simple choice you get to make whether to have hope and to believe.
A simple choice.
Surrender and give it a try.
If you have an interest in the Native American traditions and the lust for a spiritual lesson, well, check out a wonderful author named Mary Summer Rain.
"Mary Summer Rain is the author of over 25 books on spiritual philosophy, most notably of teachings she received from a Chippewa visionary woman, No-Eyes..."
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Summer_Rain)
Mary Summer Rain writes "The Visitation" which is her story of how she was visited by an Archangel who lays it right on the line as to man, his ego and inevitable downfall if he doesn't change to an attitude of love.
A very interesting read and it makes one think of his own responsibility for his own problems.
Hope is a continuous choice to make ...
All we have to do to find hope is observe. Observe someone or something that shows you that something is possible.
Look around and don't say
"Oh, I could never do that ..."
Take a closer look ... Most of the time, you will find someone who is no better, stronger, faster, or even more intelligent, , than you are.
We all have the same stuff, it's just that most of us are not in the same energy and attitude as others.
If we find hope that we could be ... might even really want to be ... well, then we have something.
So, back to hope I'd like to introduce you to a wonderful creature called the
ganges_dolphin_-_ravindra_sinha.jpg (12276 bytes)
../ganges_dolphin_-_ravindra_sinha
There are two species of blind river dolphins in south Asia - the Indus (Platanista minor), and Ganges (Platanista gangetica) River dolphins. [They were
once thought to be the same species.] They do not have a crystalline eye lens, which makes them effectively blind. But the lack of vision is compensated
by highly developed sound imaging skills, also termed ‘echolocation’ – a sophisticated sonar system that is a navigation aid in the muddy and silted rivers.
Their blindness " …is one of the reasons why these dolphins swim on one side underwater, with one flipper trailing in the muddy riverbed. The physical
touch gives the dolphins important information about their surroundings and helps them find food."
from:
http://www.wildlifeofpakistan.com/RiverDolphin.html
... so what does this have to do with hope ...
when a mother of a 3 year old little boy, told him that he could use his fingers and his ears and his mouth to see, because his eyes didn't work anymore, she gave him hope ... well, his Mom's hope was what this little boy learned to do ... just like a dolphin or a whale ...
Read about him in People magazine at:
http://www.people.com/people/article/0,26334,1212568_1,00.html
and watch this video ...
http://www.people.com/people/video/player/0,,1213584,00.html
and he can also be seen in this video of him with John Blackstone, a journalist with CBS....
http://www.metacafe.com/watch/779704/best_video_of_the_year_blind_kid_uses_sound_to_see/.html
So, from the hope of believing that something you once thought impossible, ... well, think about it ...
Find a little faith ...
faith. ... Tune in next month for an interesting twist to this one ... *smile*
If we went by what our eyes could see Well, often the truth would be eluding us.
For those without eyes, it's how you perceive things ...

Backseat Blunder
Walker is my trusty, young guide dog, with whom I was blessed right after Christmas.
I am so thankful that Walker does not talk, as he would promptly put in a request for a new handler.
During my morning errands, today, there had been a few mishaps that put me in kind of a foul mood. On the way back home, Walker and I were quietly waiting in a car, in the grocery store parking lot, as my friend stopped to pick up a few items. Walker was sitting on the backseat, as allowed by this driver.
I stepped outside to better hear, after my phone rang, because the radio was playing too loud.
This car, which was a loaner, to my friend, was a mustang, which I mistakenly assumed was a two door. My friend had put Walker in on his side when
we left, as the entry was easier. My side was a little close to another car.
I had not correctly determined my error, as I had felt only one handle on my side and also had not noticed the short size of the door as I opened and closed it
During the call, I had unmindfully stepped aside toward the back of the car. .
After I hung up, I turn back around from where I was standing and felt Walkers head where I thought the front seat should be. Yeah, I know, sometimes I get a little disoriented.
Anyway, I immediately ordered Walker into the back seat, Shame!! I cried, sternly. "Get in the back!"
He would not budge and I increased the volume and severity of my command.
I hear a couple chuckling as they walk by, wondering why this crazy lady is screaming for this dog to climb in the back when he is obviously already in the back.
Confused and frustrated, I quickly opened the door and abruptly commanded Walker out of the car. He immediately obeyed, as he usually does. I tried to pull the seat forward. I could, nowhere find the latch to release the seat and my frustration and ire grew.
Well, my friend returned, and I quickly ran to the other side of the car and asked him to put Walker in, as I yelled, "I've had enough!
He said "Wha?"
Why can't you put him on your side?
I bellowed, "Never mind, I can't pull the seat forward! I can't find the lever!"
"Why would you need to pull the seat forward? There's two doors, just open the back door!"
OK, I know I need to work on my restraint, today, and also possibly my logic.
This dog is an angel, and I just can't seem to realize I'm the dope!
He still loves me I think, cause after the whole ordeal, as I slumped in the front seat, humiliated,, his big
head reached around the side of the seat and kissed my cheek.
It was as if to say "It's OK, Mom, I understand."
Unconditional love is such a nice thing. My inability to give it back is sometimes still lacking,, but I'm
learning more every day.

Stamina: A key principle for spiritual and personal growth
Stamina
Good old fashioned determination and perseverance to anyone who understands success.
The stamina to just today, try a little bit more than what you did yesterday.
In what way did you build on a true vision of what it is you want in your life.
You have to begin somewhere, if you haven't already.
Start now, and if you are on a path to finding what your dreams could be, but you are stuck, well,
start again, with us.
Sit and jot down a list of what is the purpose of you fighting for this dream.
It could simply be to be rich and secure in the material world.
It may be finding a way to care for the people in your life who need more help than you can give.
It could be to save all the starving little children in some far off continent in the world.
No matter the level of what it is you really want, you have to identify it first.
My list from years ago, began like this ...
Peace
love of God of some sort
friends
soul mate
security
Each time I returned to this list, I Slowly, began to understand that I had to decide how badly I really
wanted these things .
There were others all over the world who claimed to have found these things and for some money
they would show me how to do it, to.
It was only me and a new found power of thought idea that made me believe that I could succeed.
Stamina.
You don't have it, you say?
Well, start now.
Just try again and keep trying.
Believe that all you dream of will come into view and within reach and then in your hands ...
Remember, it only works when you truly believe this.
Perseverance
One day at a time.
The looking back on every day from a nighttime bed,
"did I do the best I could have done today?
If the answer is no, you have two choices.
Forgive yourself and try harder tomorrow. With this one, you must always, also ask
"Am I being too hard on myself?"
Learn to be honest to yourself and you'll be amazed what this tiny little practice accomplishes in the end.
You'll begin to hear comments from those around you about you seeming different or happier.
You'll feel healthier and finally have a reason to want to try harder the next day.
You don't really have to trust me. Just have to try it a little and see what happens.
Let me know what you find.

Why do we need to know what God is?
Quoted from The Kyballion by three initiates :
The Hermetists believe and teach that THE ALL, "in itself," is and must
ever be UNKNOWABLE. They regard all the theories, guesses and
speculations of the theologians and metaphysicians regarding the inner
nature of THE ALL, as but the childish efforts of mortal minds to grasp
the secret of the Infinite. Such efforts have always failed and will

inquiries travels around and around in the labyrinth of thought, until
he is lost to all sane reasoning, action or conduct, and is utterly
unfitted for the work of life. He is like the squirrel which frantically
