You can visit their site for more details, but the basic challenge is starting March 1st, we will wear dresses and heels like our grandmothers did back in the day, at least 3 times a week...if you can't do heels, do ballet flats, clogs, sandals (not flip flops), or some other dainty footwear.

Lesson 6: Declaration

  I am on lesson six of Simpleology's course, "Dr. Joe Vitale Teaches the Law of Attraction" and today's lesson was about declaring what one does want, after identifying what one does not one. The point being, to focus on the destination and not the current location. This lesson was very effective at coaching me to stretch my ideas of what I thought I wanted, forcing me to dream a little bigger, want just a little more, and finally compiling it all into one succinct declaration of intention.

Here's what I had written when the process was complete, written in the present tense:

"I have a passive income of $250,000 annually, which allows me to be financially free, have excellent credit, own a beautiful home in an upscale neighborhood, enjoy a fabulous fairy tale romantic relationship with my honest, loyal, and responsible African American Prince, and I am able to give my son everything he needs and wants and more, while still being able to do the things that I want, when I want and only work if I choose to. I have all this and better."

And So It Is.

Do The Hustle

  After listening to many of my college educated, highly skilled, and super talented friends talk about difficulty finding a job, and then recently having the experience of being offered a job that was later rescinded, I've come to the conclusion that, we are living in a new era. This generation is going to have to get use to learning to hustle; being a go-get-it, self-starting, free-lancing, on-the-grind hustler. The old world of job applications and interviews is never coming back, so let's accept it, and move on. Now is the time, to take that, "I wish I could be/do...", and BE and DO IT! You've been waiting for, "one day" or the "right time" well guess what, it has arrived. Hope you're ready, and if you're not, oh well, you're already behind so, catch up.

As a mother, I'm feeling the pressure to make sure that my son has the know how to be able to turn his talents into a viable career for himself on his own terms. I'm working hard to eliminate, "I can't" from his vocabulary. If I don't, his future will be bleak and he'll have me to blame. Granted, my son is only 5, but there is no guarantee that a job will be waiting for him and a college degree means nothing these days so I'm not even going to bother saving for it for him. Nah, I'd rather save up to send him to Peak Potentials school, than to university...and that's speaking from experience.

Bottom line, get on your grind, whatever industry you're in or want to be in, find a way to employ yourself now before the lay off notices arrives, because you can bet your 401K, it's coming. . .

The Spirit of this Morning is Upon Me

 Perhaps it is because I am fasting (Day 5 of 21), and my body is more aware and sensitive to Spirit vibrations. All I know is that as I lay in my bed this morning, before opening my eyes, I could literally feel the movement (and weight) of Spirit over and around me. I said in my head, "God is here right now, I feel it." Outside my window, there was no noise at all, I heard no cars hurrying to work, I heard no grinding from the lawn crew that is usually up and att'em keeping the grounds early in the morning. Everything was still, and as the scripture says, "Be still and know..." It was literally as if someone pressed pause on the world around me, quite amazing and difficult to really express in words.

I am eager to receive what this day has in store. With such a powerful morning, I expect powerful and miraculous movement today. Whatever is mine to do, I walk the path with gratitude and ethereal awareness.

Sun Day of Being

   Today was easy like...well.... Sunday morning. My thermostat stopped working so I woke up to an icebox where my floor use to be, (so cold, so cold, so cold) but thankfully I live in South Florida, so even though my tile was freezing, the outside was very nice. The Sunday bus schedule is so limited that getting to church would have been like that movie "16 Blocks", but again, thankfully, the church I would have attended, has a live UStream broadcast, so I was able to attend virtually, from the warmth my bed.

After services, I tackled a few more things that were left on my Simpleology target list including shredding some papers,  the a/c guy came and fixed the thermostat, and I went for a walk around the block, just to get out.

All and all, it was a simple Sun Day of Being. Tonight I'm going to brave another chapter of , "Thought Vibration" by William Walker Atkinson. It was written in the early 1900's, so while it has very good insight on the Law of Attraction, it can be very dense reading because of the old school language.

Its okay, I welcome the challenge.
