Prosperity Now

[Revvell]

Quite some time ago I created a thread (or 2, or 3) on abundance. It's kind of gone off track so, I thought I'd begin another.

So many are complaining about not having ~ enough money, enough food, etc. As we've all heard, what you focus on expands sooooo, if you want abundance, you've got to focus on it.

Here I, and others, will share tips on how they are or have, changed their lives by focusing on what they want, not want they don't want or have.

Part of the issue I see here is, people think having more than enough money for their needs is wrong, bad, greedy, etc. They see wealthy folk as wrong, bad, greedy, etc.

In order to have, one often has to change their mindset. On one hand, they complain about not having, on the other, they complain about those who do. Now, if one feels wealthy folk are bad, greedy, wrong, etc., why would they want to be one of them?

Here's the thing ~ without wealth, one cannot REALLY help those in need. A smile wont feed them. A pat on the back wont clothe them. When there's a disaster have you ever wished for extra so you can give someone a home? Hard to do when you can barely feed and clothe your own self and family, eh?

What I have learned ~ EVERYthing you have, you've created. That's right, EVERYthing. You created the home you currently live in, the clothes you wear, the job you have, the neighborhood you live in, your health, etc. How'd you do that? With your mindset!

How to change that? First, accept it. Once you can accept where you are, you can go from there. For instance, I live in Southern California and want to go to Nev. If I want to leave SoCal, I have to accept where I am first, then, figure where I want to go which, in this case would be west. If I don't accept it and I think I'm in Florida and I want to go to Nev. I'd better not be heading west.

Accepting something doesn't mean you don't want it to change. It just means you know where you are now.

Once you accept, appreciate. Many of you have seen that I do appreciations here, almost daily. I'm surprised that more folk aren't yet, I see them constantly complaining about not having. Well folk, the more you focus on not having, the more you're not going to have. The more you appreciate what you have, the more the universe will supply.

Problem with that is, if you have more, then what? Sounds silly yet, been there, done that. Having creates it's own difficulties. People will expect more from you; what to do with it? What if it's not enough to take care of everything? What do I do first?

Here's a site I found to prepare you for having. I started a thread on this quite some time ago but didn't keep it up. It's a fascinating journey into (virtual) wealth. http://bit.ly/188v64. Play the prosperity game and enjoy!

More tomorrow ~

I think this is a very good way to look at things. Thanks for reposting your thoughts for us new folks.

[Revvell]

You're welcome and thank YOU for taking immediate action!

[Dararaw36]

You're welcome and thank YOU for taking immediate action!

I'm going to try my best to keep up with it daily. I think it's something that will be very beneficial to me. I like keeping my brain optimistic, because lately I've been finding that that has been very difficult for me to do. But having a thread like that to post on is really helpful. It made me feel very good to post there.

[Revvell]

I'm glad to hear that Dara. It's a really great way to begin and/or end the day. Sometimes we wake up with the ".. oh man, it's Monday" thing instead of being thank-filled for one more day of life. Doing daily appreciations has REALLY made a difference in my life.

[freshlight]

Oh, Revvell, I LOVE you!!! Thank you so much. The daily appreciations thread is a beautiful one as well and you just can't stop creating beauty all over this world, can you? ;) Thanks so much for being such a huge inspiration for me. Sometimes I do even talk to you whenever I face some challenges and try to imagine what you would say or do in certain situations...that helps me a lot. Keep creatng abundance, you are so good at it and I know that all of us can learn that too if we really want to.


Keep shining!

[Mary Kay]

Freshlight,

I do the same thing! Well, actually, I've not really been in touch with Revvell, but I do talk to the whole group---

i create a collage as my desktop on my computer. it has pictures and words... things i want to bring into my life. in this moment it's all about healthy raw babies... *giggling* but at other times it's had pictures of meditation, yoga, nature, money, crystals... whatever i have wanted to create in my life.

i also do affirmations and speak as though whatever i desire is here now. changing the way i speak and think makes a huge difference in what comes to me.

i also donate lots of money. i find that gifting others even when i don't have much always creates more. there's a homeless family in the states that i focus on for the most part but there's also people outside grocery stores, someone who might look hungry outside a restaurant... even the person in line in front of me who doesn't have enough money to pay for their groceries... i pay the difference for them.

cause the world does change when we do an act of kindness. and i'm here to change the world however i can.

I joined a local Meetup group which deals with manifesting abundance. It will help me to remember these things about prosperity and to make new thoughts a habit. I'm pretty excited to go to the first meetup. :)

[freshlight]

What a beautiful post, Aleesha, thank you so much! You are absolutely right: We can only change the world by changing ourselves ( our thoughts).
Mary Kay: those are imaginary conversations with my friend Revvell she doesn't even know about, haha :D I somehow know what her opinion is going to be like and listen to her suggestions and ideas........now, does that sound a bit....funny? I love doing it though and it always works wonders.
The reason for me not posting in the daily appreciations thread is my decision to spend less time in front of the puter...I do keep appreciating the small, medium and the big gifts of life, which seem always huge to me, all the time throughout the day and it's pure magic.

Enjoy this wonderful day, everyone!

[Revvell]

Mary Kay: those are imaginary conversations with my friend Revvell she doesn't even know about, haha :D



You might think so. :D

Actually, I do that with my teacher as well... or did. Not so much anymore.

[Revvell]

Last night was supposed to be a conversation with Elaina Love on Let's Talk Raw (http://bit.ly/aGOSx). I thought she might not show because she didn't respond when I sent in the call-in information and she didn't.

Aleesha was on the call and she asked about my weight release program (http://bit.ly/V1Cao) so, I had a chance to talk about it and posted that on the site instead of the interview with Elaina.

After, I mentioned to Aleesha that it was very strange that no one had signed up for the class or the free teleclasses (http://bit.ly/3SbOlD). I was thinking how very strange it is that, here I am, talking about prosperity and abundance and, no sign-ups? How am I blocking that???

This morning, I got online and checked email ~ no, no sign-ups so, I'm thinking, well, o.k., maybe something else will be happening on those days and I should not be teaching the class and I'll have this morning (first teleclass) and this evening (second teleclass) off to be with my honey.

For some reason I opened my laptop. I don't use it much at home but I wanted to check something. Up comes the email with DOZENS of emails signing up for the free teleclasses!!! I was in shock! Here it was, 8 a.m. and I'd not prepared because none of them came to my iMac! What's up with that?

So between 8 and 9 a.m. I had to write up what I wanted to say AND check the system I was going to use as it's different than the one I usually use. We finally figured it out and got the conference going! *does happy dance*!

Oh! Immediately after, I received notice of sign-ups for the series!!! Yayyy!

It's weird how the universe works. Just gotta trust it!

One thing I know with my classes ~ whoever is supposed to be there will be.

Last evening, we had our regular Monday evening movement class. It was GREAT as usual. I've been going for over 23 years. It's just what I do on Monday evenings. I've probably missed maybe a dozen over those many years.

Aleesha ~ I do the give money thing too. I carry as least one dollar in my pocket every time I go out with the intention of giving it to someone I may meet on the street. It brings me joy and hopefully brightens their day a bit as well. After 9/11 the firemen were on many of the street corners in Glendale with boots in their hands. I got out my wallet and gave them everything I had in it. I requested Bo do the same. We know there's more where that came from.

Rawffle ~ how'd your meetup go? That's a GREAT idea!

If you've not begun this (http://bit.ly/188v64)... maybe you should? Day 2 for me!

[Revvell]

You are just so sweet and supportive. Thank you my friend. (throw me a kissy face here, Aleesha) :)



Oh, Revvell, I LOVE you!!! Thank you so much. The daily appreciations thread is a beautiful one as well and you just can't stop creating beauty all over this world, can you? ;) Thanks so much for being such a huge inspiration for me.

[rawrawks]

What I have learned ~ EVERYthing you have, you've created. That's right, EVERYthing. You created the home you currently live in, the clothes you wear, the job you have, the neighborhood you live in, your health, etc. How'd you do that? With your mindset!

yes this is great. I created the space I live in which is great. My health which is also great. My job which is pretty super, the neighborhood ( upper class cul de sac with docs n lawyers n idian chiefs) and my fun clothes....cool.

So, I am seeking abundance mindset (again, as i have had it in times past) and looking to supplement my income with raw and living life coaching. I want to find a way to start and open doors to having clients and working with what I am passionate about.

How to do this? I started a website/blog as well as other twitts and facebooky things. I just didnt feel this was the way to create what I wanted, after I did it. I felt real life contacts might be better.

ANy ideas would be soooo appreciated pleeeeze and thank you.

[Revvell]

Actually, it all works. I began my biz before FB, Twitter, podcasts, etc. BUT, now that they are available, I'm doing them. What you want is to be noticed and do whatever it takes to be/do that... within integrity, of course.

So, locally ~ contact any place that holds adult classes ~ parks and recs, senior centers, churches... create a talk and demo and offer it. Offer a series of classes through them... charge them.

Write a book; self-publish it. Seems Amazon has a good program for that. Turn it into an ebook as well and offer it to anyone doing a book campaign. Make sure you have email requirements so you can build a list.

Do some vids on YouTube preparing food or just talking about health/nutrition/raw food.

Go to local chambers, animal clubs and networking organizations. Have a GREAT :30 commercial.

Find a place you can work with groups. Corporations are looking for speakers/program to lower insurance costs. Whatever you charge will be less than it costs for one person to go to the hospital.

Find someone who has a kitchen they don't use all the time and see if you can use it then you don't have to get a food license.

Charge people for doing what I just did ~ coaching. :D

I've got more but, start there, 'k?

[freshlight]

those are all great ideas! I somehow thought that if you want to coach people you have to have some kind of paper which shows that you are a professional....is it not the case? Could you offer anything you want to offer? or are there limits?

For example, I'd love to offer jogging-coaching but don't have any degrees. That stops me from doing it because if something goes wrong then people could sue one for compensation etc.

On the other hand, I'd love to start a running-meetup just for fun and I'm going to. Not everything is about money and that would create inner income, right? ;)

So, what are your thoughts on the subject, folks?

[Revvell]

They don't give paper for experience. You want some paper? Lemme know. Tell me what you want it to say. ;) People keep saying they "need" certifications to do this or that. My question is always, who certified the certifiers? I know people who teach 3-day speaker trainings with certificates. They charge a BUNCH of money for them. They trained with someone else who certified them and down the line.




For example, I'd love to offer jogging-coaching but don't have any degrees. That stops me from doing it because if something goes wrong then people could sue one for compensation etc.They can and will anyway. Having a degree wont stop them plus, going to school they waste your time teaching you things you already know OR don't agree with. Better to have insurance than degrees.


On the other hand, I'd love to start a running-meetup just for fun and I'm going to. Not everything is about money and that would create inner income, right? ;) Your time, your knowledge, your choice. Could do THAT for fun then have it lead to more explicit teaching.

There's "my" folksie suggestions.

[rawrawks]

Thank you for your reply to this. I feel like all those ways are very realistic and doable. I took a mentor program at Bonobos in NYC with Kevin Gianni and he said "you all have everything you need right now to do what you want to do."

I KNOW this and WANT it. I want to use it and make a difference in peoples worlds.

[freshlight]

Dear Revvell, thank you so much for your reply! Sometimes I think you write down my thoughts...........the ones I didn't have enough courage to express because I thought they are not intelligent enough...but when I read how you put it,-that sounds very intelligent indeed! amazing. Some things are completely new: insurance? hmmmmmmm. do you have lots of those? do you think we need them? just curious.
Lotsa huggs from me :)

[Revvell]

do you have lots of those? do you think we need them? just curious.
Lotsa huggs from me :)

I have none. The very least you'll need is a waiver. Write something up where they admit they are responsible for themselves as adults. Will not sue. Might have to get an attorney or, look for something online. Make sure you're covered for liability.

[Revvell]

Speaking of prosperity ~ we were, weren't we? :) I'm thinking to change the name of my program so, having a contest to see what others think might be better. Best place to see the information is on my blog (http://bit.ly/196Vtr) here on RFT.

What you may win ~ either a soft-cover version of my book "Smoothies and Smoozies for Life" or, any item from my clothing store. Please go to the blog (http://bit.ly/196Vtr) to find out more.

Thanks!

[freshlight]

a new name for the "tap into your ideal weight?" sorry if I misunderstood....would love to help if I can. *think think think* will be back soon

[Revvell]

Yuppers! New name for the program encompassing folks who have trouble staying on a healthy food program because of habit, cravings, emotions. Thankiss.

[rawrawks]

Ok, so in light of my latest post on prosperity and wanting to start doing raw coaching and creating abundance and prosperity......I lost my job today! Hey hey whatta ya say???

I sure am having a challenge with prosperity now. eeeeeeeeeeek

[Revvell]

No you're not. The universe just opened the door for you to take action! Congratulations!!!



I sure am having a challenge with prosperity now. eeeeeeeeeeek

[snoops]

When one door closes, another one opens. GO for it.

[rawrawks]

hmmmmm and what exactly does that look like????? Seeing what opens? what what...ideas..heellllllllllllllllllllp...I am exhillirated and feeling a sense of being set free as well as scared to death, all at the same time!!!

[RawKnitster]

I am in the process of changing my life. I went to a 2 hour class titled "Manifest Riches Now". I had my eyes opened to a few issues that have been holding me back.

One of my issues was that I am not a good salesperson. Who ever said I wasn't a good salesperson? ONLY ME! Because of my perception of salespeople I didn't want to be one. Well guess what.... If I'm going to have a raw business I'm going to have to sell myself. Reframe negative thoughts. Change the thought, change the pattern. I am a salesperson, and a darn good one!

My other issue was feeling guilty for charging or overcharging. Why? Because some of my friends and family said my product wouldn't sell at that price? Well guess what.... the people that are buying my product ask how much and pull out their wallets. They don't question my price. And why should I feel guilty getting paid? Because I don't have formal training or a certificate? I worked hard to collect the knowledge I have. The people that are interested in what I have to offer don't have time to do it themselves like I did.

My new philosophy:

This is what I want and thank you so much for giving it to me.

Give more value than I take in gratitude and joy.

Get raving fans and be a raving fan of my customers.


The teacher of the class recommended reading "The Science of Getting Rich" (http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Science_of_Getting_Rich). I haven't read it yet. Have you read it? Any opinions on it?

[rawrawks]

So you make a product and sell it? I am looking at that. Yesterday and today that came up twice.....my raw skills to offer others. It is also my passion.

Yes we can see what holds us back and disappear it.

[RawKnitster]

hmmmmm and what exactly does that look like????? Seeing what opens? what what...ideas..heellllllllllllllllllllp...I am exhillirated and feeling a sense of being set free as well as scared to death, all at the same time!!!

"The adventure you are ready for is the one you get." Sorry, I don't know where that quote came from but it might be a good way to look at it. Trust the process. It could be the best thing that has ever happened to you! Stay positive and open to all possibilities. I'm sending out good thoughts for you!

[RawKnitster]

So you make a product and sell it? I am looking at that. Yesterday and today that came up twice.....my raw skills to offer others. It is also my passion.

I'm selling handknit scarves, jewelry, and raw food items. The Farmer's Markets are pretty much done, but I'm signing up for seasonal festivals. The raw food thing is a work in progress. Can't sell food outright without permits, etc. I'm working on that process. For now I have "friends" that give me "donations" for what I make. I'm also working on setting up classes to teach raw food prep. Beats the heck out of bookkeeping. Not that there is anything wrong with bookkeeping, I'm just tired of it.

[rawrawks]

Thank you. I feel like I have been ready to be done with this job and a huge part of this feels great. The scary part doesnt...hahaha.

Leaps of faith huh.
Thank you for your love and support...will see and keep you posted.

One thing...they will keep me one week and pay me for the following three!!!

[Revvell]

hmmmmm and what exactly does that look like????? Seeing what opens? what what...ideas..heellllllllllllllllllllp...I am exhillirated and feeling a sense of being set free as well as scared to death, all at the same time!!!

Scroll down. I listed a whole LOT of ideas in what you say you want to do.

[Revvell]

That would be correct.

"I have all the money I need to pay my way, plus plenty left over to spend, share and enjoy"

"All my needs are perfectly met"

"I expect something extraordinary to happen to me today"

"Prosperity is mine"

"My cup runneth over"

"I am divinely guided"

[freshlight]

here come some ideas:

*raw is fun
it can get done :)



*I am now light and free


*I can do this


*The new successful me


*Find your beauty


*Light up your life


I'll try to think of some others.

[rawrawks]

Nice I like these.

Revvell....what ways have you been successful at finding clients? The things you mentioned of course. Any of those more effective?

Like how to start...? find a place to hold a class ans charge money?


And getting present to all I have to offer to people in a huge profound way and being willing to shine.

Today I got offered a regualar gig (of raw classes or tals or whatever) at a womens clothing store of all places. Like anything is welcome there so as to promote the place of business as well. And the people get a coupon after my guig for the clothes!! Hmmmmmmm Is this all showing up for a reason...hahahah

[Revvell]

Yes, it's all showing up for a reason ~ partly because you are free to pursue and also, because you are open to it.

Anywhere you can do demos, do them. Make flyers/biz cards. The locations I mentioned will pay you BUT, that's for the intro class because they get a part of your money. What you really want is for people to come to you so YOU receive all the funds.

I don't "believe" anything. It's up to you to make it happen ~ or not. Yes, there are going to be fears. Enjoy the sensations. Revel in them! They're the fuel to your inspiration.

As you've found out, there is no security in working for others. Might as well work for yourself.

Oh! for some potential income, you do know I have an affiliate program, yes? It's for referring people to my "Tap Into Your Ideal Weight (http://bit.ly/V1Cao)" series. You receive $24.70 (minus Paypal charges) for anyone you refer who signs up, pays and stays.

You do know that a recession is the best time to become an entrepreneur? It is. Some of the biggest companies in history began during recessions.

Revvell

[rawrawks]

Thats neat. Wonder whats in my way, only ME right? What my naturopath said.

Enjoy the sensations..woweeeeee. I seem to be fighting them instead. Hmmmm

Good ideas...yes a place where they dont charge me to be there is my idea.

Affiliate cool.

Thankx a bunch. I appreciate the ideas.

[Revvell]

..yes a place where they dont charge me to be there is my idea.


Not they don't charge you ~ they PAY you!

[rawrawks]

Thats what I meant...where the place doesnt charge me and I keep th emoney the people pay me.

I feel physically sick today. Nervousness. Enjoy the sensation....??? eeeeeek

[freshlight]

oops, my ideas are in the wrong thread, sorry. Posted them on the right site now, Rev. Hope you'll receive tons of good suggestions (well, one would do, wouldn't it? ;) )
I stll think that the original name sounds great but it's always good to do some brainstorming :)

I love all of your ideas and suggestions,-you are amazing! A real "prosperitycreator", you!

[Revvell]

I like the original one too. Just came up with another though. lol

That I yam. nod,nod,nod :) Thankiss, thankiss.

[freshlight]

it'd be great if we could keep this thread clean, so that we can increase the strong energy of abundance.

All the "anti" thoughts could get discussed in a new thread perhaps? Just a suggestion

[rawrawks]

ooooooops it seemed like this was a thread to get support around prosperity and abundance....sorry I didnt mean to cause harm. eeeeeek

guess we wouldnt be real whole people without being able to share the whole self?

I guess it would have been edited if mods thought it was innappropriate. I dunno

[Revvell]

ooooooops it seemed like this was a thread to get support around prosperity and abundance....sorry I didnt mean to cause harm. eeeeeek

You didn't at all. That's what this thread is for. Encouragement and support.

This too shall pass. O.k., another suggestion (other than, when your biz gets up and running you pay me for my coaching here ;) ) ~ learn EFT. It'll help you with your emotions. Lots of free stuff on the web about it. Your fear is overwhelming you. Sit down, write down all the possibilities of what you can do and where you can do it.

[rawrawks]

Than you for your love ans support. I got an epiphany this morning. As part of a whole way to earn income in my rawlife coaching, I can set up a cleansing program. Having people sign a waiver as you said. I have a friend doing it now with others.

Providing x amount of smoothies, x amount of soup, x amount of juice and coaching all around cleansing .....and intro to raw life!!!!

I am excited!!!!! I gotta say, my friends who all know me well, tell me i have so much to offer and am so good at what I do and can do anything. I love all their support and cheerleading.

[Revvell]

Make it happen and inspire yourself and others!

[Revvell]

Well, for me, I'm on a roller-coaster ride. It's a blast! The newest stage of my program "Tap Into Your Ideal Weight (http://bit.ly/V1Cao)" begins Tues., Oct. 6th. I've got two online classes, one at 9 a.m. and one at 6 p.m. Pacific time. The 9 a.m. class is just about full and a few seats are open for 6 p.m.

I am SO excited! Last week we finished a 4-week session and to hear the aHA moments from the women was so powerful! I guess it was for them as well since they all are joining the new class.

I'm also having a contest (http://bit.ly/7imEy) to change the name. Reason being, not everyone is looking to eliminate weight, they just want to stop sabotaging the food program they are on and/or, cope with success/failure in their lives. Every time they get stressed, or, go out socially, or even sit down to watch a vid/tv, they realize the habits they've created around food. As prizes, I've put up a soft-cover edition of my Smoothie book (http://bit.ly/7imEy) or, any item from my clothing store (http://bit.ly/AD9br).

All of this is learning for me. It is SO exciting and yes, scary at the same time. Doing a LOT of writing, reading, marketing, learning. Getting more people to interview for Let's Talk Raw (http://LetsTalkRaw.com) and again for Celebrating Your Potential (http://CelebratingYourPotential.com) which I've not been doing for awhile.

I'm promoting other people as well. Loral Langemeier's new book "Put More Cash in Your Pocket (http://bit.ly/PHMlH)" just came out and I contributed my ebook "Revvellutionize Your Life in 30 Days (http://bit.ly/KnPH2)" as a bonus. I've got a review copy of Loral's book and it's truly a great book. It's easy-to-read, easy-to-follow, as she gives step-by-step instructions on how to go about creating an "extra" $500 to $1000 a month. Right now, with so many needing funds just to get by, I feel this book is well worth the investment.

ALSO! And this is a biggie for us. I've created an affiliate program (http://bit.ly/2tNZgY) where anyone who refers people to my program "Tap Into Your Ideal Weight (http://bit.ly/V1Cao)" can receive over $24 for each referral who signs up, pays and stays. (I have a 100% money back guarantee on the program and if they drop out ~ which is VERY rare ~ then I return their money). Why MORE people aren't taking advantage of this stymies me. Ah well! I guess they're really not in need of money!!

Even with all this, I still take the time to spend with Himself, go to networking meetings, have mastermind meetings (having one this morning), go to the beach, give advice here, do appreciations daily (without them, this would not be happening), train, make and eat good food, read, write, continue learning, sleep and play! Jeez! Reading that boggles my own mind! :p

So, off to play some more!

Enjoy!

I just thought that this thread was created in order to increase the power of abundance and that the negatives wouldn't be so good,-just like in the "daily appreciations" thread.

It was just a suggestion like I said. Enjoy

Than you for your love ans support. I got an epiphany this morning. As part of a whole way to earn income in my rawlife coaching, I can set up a cleansing program. Having people sign a waiver as you said. I have a friend doing it now with others.

Providing x amount of smoothies, x amount of soup, x amount of juice and coaching all around cleansing .....and intro to raw life!!!!

I am excited!!!!! I gotta say, my friends who all know me well, tell me i have so much to offer and am so good at what I do and can do anything. I love all their support and cheerleading.

you are very fortunate for having such supportive friends. I can feel your excitement. Make a plan and go for it,-I'm sure you'll be fine :)

[Revvell]

No worries my friend. Just as I say in my book "Revvellutionize Your Life in 30 Days", the negatives are not to be dwelt upon yet, must be acknowledged as they will come up to sabotage. Unlike the appreciations thread, this one is more discussion oriented. Thank you for caring so much. Loves ya. :)


I just thought that this thread was created in order to increase the power of abundance and that the negatives wouldn't be so good,-just like in the "daily appreciations" thread.

It was just a suggestion like I said. Enjoy

Revv, what can you reccomend for me, to calm the fears and the stuff running in my head!!!

Also would you say, that because you love what you do and are passionate about it, that is all feels like play to you. Like I am sure its alot to do and such yet doesntit feel very good to be in your own business and making your own income, not wondering when you will be laid off (hahaha).

I would love some personal experience on that to get a feel for it. I know what to do, and to just start. Yet some inspiration on the joys of it all might be really helpful.

It seems like it would be a really powerful place to stand in your life. Right now, even though i see how (as you siad above) I created everything I have in my life. I KNOW I created this situation to be free to do as I wish.

I am reisiting continually going back into a long term committed nanny job where I dont want to be. Focusing on what I DO WANT!!!!

I am telling the choir to shush.

I answered this in post #47 here.

Play? lol it's WORK! No, I can't be laid off yet, "I" am responsible for the income. If I don't do what it takes... I have none.





I would love some personal experience on that to get a feel for it. I know what to do, and to just start. Yet some inspiration on the joys of it all might be really helpful.

The joys of it all? Methinks it's time to inspire yourself. Take a blank sheet of paper. Write down the pros of having your own business on the left half, draw a line down the middle, then write the cons on the right half.



I am reisiting continually going back into a long term committed nanny job where I dont want to be. Focusing on what I DO WANT!!!!
That's the monkey mind and its idea of "security" which YOU know, doesn't exist.



I am telling the choir to shush.

Write down what they say and get 'em out of your head.

[rawrawks]

Thank you..I re-read post 47. Yes I see.

Work yes. Yet when I am doing what I absolutely love to do, it rarely feels lie work at all.

Inspire myself for sure....and others.wooohoooo

The monkey mind idea of security...hahahahahahahaha.

Hmmmmma sheet of paper with pros n cons...and what and where and how to carry this out.
All great ideas.

Right now, its all a mind game. Write them all down and get em outa my head.

Thankx. This will help.
Rev, I remember you saying you were a pizza delivery person before. Was this as a way to get your business off the ground. I mean sometimes doing other stuff as a means to carry you into your own income? Or am I looking for a false security again????

[Revvell]

When I was training as a natural health practitioner ~ 16 years ~ I did what it took to pay for it. I was supporting myself, paying my rent, utilities, etc. PLUS what it cost me for my training/sessions/weekends with my teacher ~ doing my own work, working for chiropractors, at hair salons AND delivering pizza in the evenings and on weekends AND getting up at 2, five mornings a week to deliver a local newspaper.

When people complain to me about money all I say is, "make more". My friend Loral Langemeier has a really good book on this, just released called "Put More Cash in Your Pocket (http://bit.ly/1G4AZ8)." It's about using your talents and skills to create fast cash.

[rawrawks]

woweeeee you did alot. I guess if one wants it bad enough they do what there is to do right?

I love that "make more".....that is my plan. I am in deep work today to look at my relationship to money, looking at the value I have to impart to others, looking at my strengths, what I want (and what I dont) although focus on what I want.

Big stuff moving and shifting today. Getting clear. It took a bit of crying and deep turmoil first. Thats all part of it I am sure. Digging in deep creates these feelings yet I would have liked to honor them more vs doggin on myself...ugh.

I wonder what things might help me change my view of money??? I heard myself saying these past months that I dont have enough. I see how I puit that out in word over and over and how I created that.

So now I am saying new things to create abundance and a free flow. If I told money "I have trouble with you" then why would it come to me...hahahaha

[Revvell]

woweeeee you did alot. I guess if one wants it bad enough they do what there is to do right?

No question. When they don't, they often don't want it bad enough or are afraid of success/failure so, they freeze. Someone recently sent me an email and said "scared of their own courage". That is so perfect for what happens.

[Revvell]

I keep reading and hearing how people "hate exercise". When I spoke about that at RSF in Az., a weekend or so ago, I got to thinking.

When we were children, it wasn't "exercise" ~ it was "play". We went out and played. We found other kids to go out and play with. Then we became "grown ups" with all that entailed.

Oh! Between childhood and grown up, we had PE ~ the dreaded physical education. Play became exercise and wasn't fun anymore ~ and neither were the teachers, usually. With PE came rules and being chosen last for a team. When we went home, we had home"work" which wasn't fun either and we couldn't go out and play until we finished "work" whether that was school "work" or chores ~ i.e. "work".

Lucky for me, I didn't mind homework and would get it done so I could go out and go ice skating in the winter and swimming in the summer as a teen. Now, I have "work" which I enjoy and get to play at home and in Monday night class with my friends. Occasionally I get Himself to come out and play with me. What do I play with? Well, sometimes I'll put the iPod on and dance; I'll put a vid on and do some Turbo Jam. I might just do some qigong, body weight movements that my teacher made up; play with kettlebells, Indian or Iron clubs; swing my mace; throw balls or play badminton with Himself; swing the heavy ropes ~ just for fun! I've also got a hula hoop and rebounder. That's just a start. I can walk the streets and the hills around here as well.

So, look inside and ask yourself ~ what happened to fun? If you look through the threads, you may find one labeled primal play where one friend talked about going out and playing in the snow.

I find it amazing that people complain about going out in the snow. We couldn't WAIT to do it as kids. Building forts, throwing snowballs at each other. Who could make the best snowman? Sledding, tobogganing ~ life was good! AND, movement was fun!

If you want abundant health, you've got to become and stay fit. In order to be fit, you've got to move!

Injoy,

Revvell

[freshlight]

I do never complain about the lack of money. On the contrary,-less is more and the less things I have, the happier I am :) Of course you could add that I love surrounding myself with GOOD things ;)

Working as a pizza deliverer? Weren't you raw back then? And getting up at 2 am??? I think it would eliminate most people's body within one month :D What about your health? Judging from what you say (not that I'm judging ;) ) just asking what your thoughts were in that time...it was nearly all the same to you how to make money. Correct me if I'm wrong. Do you feel the same today? What are your thoughts on the subject today?

I always think about the envioremental and the energetic part of it all as well. I am NOT trying to say I am the smart one but I couldn't imagine working somewhere JUST because I need the money. I think it is always possible to find a job you feel good about.

[freshlight]

There are lots of people out there with a very low self esteem. That's why they can't be bothered eating healthily or exercising because they "know" they won't make it anyway,-so why bother? As soon as you say to yourself "I can do this, I deserve the best" then the world around you becomes a completely new thing and the magic starts pouring into your life no end. Enjoy your inner power, rawies :)

[Revvell]

I do never complain about the lack of money. On the contrary,-less is more and the less things I have, the happier I am :) Of course you could add that I love surrounding myself with GOOD things ;)

A lot of people in this, and other countries are complaining. Many have lost very good jobs and have gone into depressive states because of it. In this country many equate who they are with what they do and wont "lower" themselves to do the things I did.




Working as a pizza deliverer? Weren't you raw back then? No. Vegetarian, not raw. It was one of the few places I could work the hours I wanted and make more than my day job when at that time, I was making $15/hour.



And getting up at 2 am??? I think it would eliminate most people's body within one month :D Many do it with way crappier food programs than I was on. You do what you've gotta do when you gotta do it ~ or, sit around and complain about not having.



What about your health?

What about it? I was out in cold and rain building my immune system; when everyone else was sleeping. It was so peace-filled and quiet. Good meditation time. Just drive around for a couple of hours and throw some papers out the window. Got to meet some lovely old ladies who couldn't sleep and just wanted to talk or thank me for what I was doing. Of course you're judging. It's what we do and I have no problem with it. I did what I had to do at the time. Is what it is.



it was nearly all the same to you how to make money. Correct me if I'm wrong. Do you feel the same today? What are your thoughts on the subject today? What subject? Making money? You know, people are going to eat pizza. People are going to read newspapers. I'm not going to rationalize delivering either. It beats not having the training I did; it beats stealing. It's honest work. Any issues you (or anyone else) are having about me doing it ~ your issues. Not my concern.


I always think about the envioremental and the energetic part of it all as well. I am NOT trying to say I am the smart one but I couldn't imagine working somewhere JUST because I need the money. I think it is always possible to find a job you feel good about.You can think that but it's not always true ~ at least in the U.S. AND, I felt good about what I was doing ~ for me! Although, I have to say, there were times when I was delivering pizza to people who were going through detox (often known as colds and flu). Hard to not say ~ "If you weren't eating this crap, you'd not be feeling like you are".

I know very few people who would pay what I paid for my training which, when I started was $60/private session, EVERY week plus, $250 for group session once a month, PLUS, $50 per month for Monday night class totalling well over $500/month and that was 23 years ago.

When I left, I was paying $125 per weekly session plus $500 for the monthly group, plus, $125 for Monday night class equaling over $1100 per month. Add to that, my rent, utilities, food, auto care and insurance, etc.

Most people wont go the extra mile to get the training but I tell you, it was worth it. It saved my life and I appreciate everything I did to get where I am now and being able to share what I know with others.

I paid my dues. Now, I do what I want, when I want. I travel, I eat well, I live in a beautiful home and have a lovely husband who supports me totally.

Revvell

P.S. Let me just add ~ receiving an email as I just did from one student from my last 4-week series (http://bit.ly/V1Cao) makes it all worthwhile. This is what she said ~ "I have lost 9 pounds, 3-1/2 inches in my waist, 3 inches in my stomach, and 2 inches in my hips."

[freshlight]

A lot of people in this, and other countries are complaining. Many have lost very good jobs and have gone into depressive states because of it. In this country many equate who they are with what they do and wont "lower" themselves to do the things I did.

I'd never call it low,-I was only curious to find out how YOU think about it




No. Vegetarian, not raw. It was one of the few places I could work the hours I wanted and make more than my day job when at that time, I was making $15/hour.


ah ok, thanks for taking the time to explain it to me. That clarifies it



Many do it with way crappier food programs than I was on. You do what you've gotta do when you gotta do it ~ or, sit around and complain about not having.

true that


What about it? I was out in cold and rain building my immune system; when everyone else was sleeping. It was so peace-filled and quiet.

that explains it: a positive attitude. I'd feel so scared about not getting enough sleep.....didn't you constantly feel tired during the day?



What subject? Making money? You know, people are going to eat pizza.

I keep thinking that if we become a part of something we want to be around, the world will start changing (slowly but surely) ...on the other hand, it is changing all the time....hmmmmmmmmmm :) But if you weren't raw at that time it explains it cuz since I'm raw my thoughts changed a great deal, so what I would have considered "normal" before seems unthinkable to me now, if you know what I mean


People are going to read newspapers. I'm not going to rationalize delivering either. It beats not having the training I did; it beats stealing. It's honest work. Any issues you (or anyone else) are having about me doing it ~ your issues. Not my concern.

I don't have any issues with it at all. In fact, I just admire you for your endless courage and determination and want to learn more from you.



You can think that but it's not always true ~ at least in the U.S. AND, I felt good about what I was doing ~ for me!

Hey, that's great. I did only want to know whether I can learn something from you by changing my own perspective and looking at things differently.......and I definitely can!




I paid my dues. Now, I do what I want, when I want. I travel, I eat well, I live in a beautiful home and have a lovely husband who supports me totally.


Hey, that's rawnderful :) I'm so happy for you. Each time I read your daily appreciations it fills my heart with gratitude and warmth,- thank you so much!

I'd like to clarify though: I am not judging at all. Perhaps I couldn't express myself very well. I would never judge anybody for what he is doing but I often am puzzled and want to understand what philosophy is behind it all. It's always really fascinating to find out how the others think. I can always learn from that and I'm ever so curious :)The only thing I wanted to find out is-->"why am I not doing it the way Revvell did it??? Am I a snob and think that "all those things" wouldn't be good enough for me? Perhaps I want to have the best thing too soon? Perhaps there are some steps that have to be taken before you start doing what you really want to do?" Those are the thoughts I'm munching at at present ;) Thanks for challenging me on that one,- what a gift!
Now you helped me to understand more about your AND about my own attitude. (pssst: mine is a building site at the moment)

[rawrawks]

So I am looking ay my situation and seeing if I might find something I like to do to have x amount of money to pay expenses and work at my new business until it more than covers my expenses.

And changing the massive money conversation.

[Revvell]

I'd never call it low,-I was only curious to find out how YOU think about it

Didn't say you did. Others would though.





ah ok, thanks for taking the time to explain it to me. That clarifies it

Yer welcome.




that explains it: a positive attitude. I'd feel so scared about not getting enough sleep.....didn't you constantly feel tired during the day?

Well, I hadn't thought about it that way. Just knew I enjoyed being out in the night when everyone else was sleeping. I know I enjoy going out walking in the early morning still ~ before traffic gets going.

No, I didn't feel tired constantly. Couldn't have done it for 10 years if I did.

Well, if I had, for any reason, to do it again, I would. Just can't see it now, knowing what I know and having the skills/training, I have.



I don't have any issues with it at all. In fact, I just admire you for your endless courage and determination and want to learn more from you.

Thank you.




Hey, that's great. I did only want to know whether I can learn something from you by changing my own perspective and looking at things differently.......and I definitely can!

Excellent! :)

You're welcome.


I'd like to clarify though: I am not judging at all. Perhaps I couldn't express myself very well. I would never judge anybody for what he is doing but I often am puzzled and want to understand what philosophy is behind it all.

What I do never comes from philosophy. It comes from examining MY life and seeing what I want and doing what I have to do to get it.


The only thing I wanted to find out is-->"why am I not doing it the way Revvell did it???

Because your life, your needs, your wants are different than mine? :D


Am I a snob and think that "all those things" wouldn't be good enough for me? Perhaps I want to have the best thing too soon? Perhaps there are some steps that have to be taken before you start doing what you really want to do?"
Oftentimes, yes.




Those are the thoughts I'm munching at at present. Thanks for challenging me on that one,- what a gift!
Now you helped me to understand more about your AND about my own attitude. (pssst: mine is a building site at the moment)

You're welcome and thank you for questioning and your awesome support. You got me looking more at me from different angles.

[rawrawks]

So heres a new slanty to my angle...hahaha Today three offers of nanny jobs.

Well, getting me clear on what I want and dont?

Safety of a stready job-disliking or tolerating what I am doing or starting my own income stream doing what I am passionate about....

"in this economy" and to pay the rent UNTIL??? Nanny jobs are heart jobs though n hearts get tied...so taking it while plannign on leaving it? And I tend to rely on the steady and lose my dream in that "security"

What to do do.? What thinketh you?

[Revvell]

Do all the interviews then see which will take the least time and energy and pay the most so you can still have time/energy to begin building what you want.

Then, again ~ sheet of paper divided down the middle ~ pros and cons of each job.

[rawrawks]

Yes that makes sense..what I was thinking too.

I love the sheet of paper exercise. Have been doing some of that.

For me, I really feel like I am done with nannying. It pays wonderfully. I am just not able to be fulfilled in it much at all. So it would feel out of integrity to take such a job again. I dont know.

I qualify for unemployment however that doesnt seem like it will pay much.

I am currently feeling horrible (all food turns to acid and is burning my stomach) because I overdid, ate poorly and am worrying myself to death. Not what I want fo rmyself.

[freshlight]

Well, I hadn't thought about it that way. Just knew I enjoyed being out in the night when everyone else was sleeping. I know I enjoy going out walking in the early morning still ~ before traffic gets going.
No, I didn't feel tired constantly. Couldn't have done it for 10 years if I did.
10 years??? you are either a genius or you don't need any sleep........or both!


Well, if I had, for any reason, to do it again, I would. Just can't see it now, knowing what I know and having the skills/training, I have
Being a rawfoodie you would deliver pizzas? Now tell me how you'd manage that because if there is something that's blocking my thoughts I'd love to "figs it";-) asap, honestly. Would you feel good about doing it, or would it be kind of a compromise that you have to make in order to get what you want (meaning: to find the right job for yourself) at the end?


What I do never comes from philosophy. It comes from examining MY life and seeing what I want and doing what I have to do to get it.

with a philosophy I meant: what were your thoughts behind your actions?


Because your life, your needs, your wants are different than mine? :D
well, why didn't you tell me that before, huh???! ;)

You're welcome and thank you for questioning and your awesome support. You got me looking more at me from different angles.really? wow........so what do you look like at the moment? :D

[rawrawks]

Do you know I have an abundance board and I was sitting here looking at it.
The last five letters are D-A-N-C-E-

we came here to dance and have abunDANCE!!!! Not just take some ol job to have money.!!! Still in inquiry here .

[freshlight]

oh, cool. let's dance :)

[rawrawks]

LETS.!!!! To me, that says to be in abunDANCE I want to work at a job where I dance (with joy over what I am doing).

[rawrawks]

I feel like I have been set free from my job and have a golden opportunity. Not sure what it is or why yet. I guess they say the place of "not knowing" is a good place to be although it feels a bit scary and anxious in between the moment sof sheer exhilliration.

Rev, what on earth do you think is going on with me here? I soooo wish I could hire a "loving kick me in the butt coach".

[Revvell]

10 years??? you are either a genius or you don't need any sleep........or both!

There are people currently in various wars who not only are not getting enough sleep, they're dealing with the sounds of war; the poor food, the sand, dealing with people who don't speak their language... my life is easy compared to that. We can survive and even thrive with less sleep than people think. It's just got to be a good, deep, restful sleep.



Being a rawfoodie you would deliver pizzas?

Yep! If push came to shove.


Now tell me how you'd manage that because if there is something that's blocking my thoughts I'd love to "figs it";-) asap, honestly. Would you feel good about doing it, or would it be kind of a compromise that you have to make in order to get what you want (meaning: to find the right job for yourself) at the end?

How I'd manage that? You gots to do what you gots to do and leave others to their otherness. I don't compromise. I can't see it happening as, I rarely step backwards. When one is on a path, they often have to go sideways, take a detour and even, at times, go back and begin again. I'm at a place where that is not going to happen, most likely yet, if something happened to Himself and I needed to bring in extra cash, I'd do what I had to.

Think of going up a rocky mountainside. If a trail is closed, you just go back and take another... that's life.



with a philosophy I meant: what were your thoughts behind your actions?

I need money. It's honest, relatively well-paying.

[Revvell]

Rev, what on earth do you think is going on with me here? I soooo wish I could hire a "loving kick me in the butt coach".

You're in a transition phase. Also, I'm not sure you're totally grieved the loss of your last job. AND, I'm thinking self-esteem issues?

[Revvell]

Just before heading out on my walk this morning, I wrote a note to myself to write here about prosperity and abundance.

Question is, what do they mean?

To many, they mean how many material things they have ~ how may "toys". They even have a saying ~ "he who dies with the most toys wins". Well, good for them! lol

Having gone through the health challenges I've been through, I think, for me, health is more important than anything. With health, I can play, I can work, I can create, I can do most anything. Without health, I have to spend time focusing on health.

Now, my health challenges have assisted me in creating my business so, I'm blessed that in the late 70's I was unhappy and suicidal; in the early 80's I almost died of asthma; I had adult acne, etc. In the 2000's, got married, went through menopause, overate, gained weight.

All these things and more have lead me to living a healing lifestyle and sharing all my experiences, knowledge, research, etc. with others.

Having friends and teachers is a major part of prosperity and abundance in my life. I met my teacher in 1986. Been with him ever since. The reason? He keeps learning; he keeps sharing. Most teachers don't continue learning so they're limited in what they can teach.

I learned from him ~ keep learning, keep sharing.

Learning ~ more abundance and prosperity. With all the resources available ~ podcasts, forums, teleclasses, webinars.. books, dvds, cds... unlimited stuff available to us. I love learning! First thing I love learning about is me! Rarely do I share things I've not experienced. In my classes, with clients and students, I can often relate to what they're going through because it's been my experience as well or, at the very least, an experience of one of my own students or my teacher's students which I learned about during our monthly group sessions.

There is so much more to abundance and prosperity than "toys" YET, having said that, toys are fun too! Now, my toys consist of things I can play with ~ balls, ropes, kettlebells, Indian clubs, iron clubs, mace, sticks, etc. I LOVE Monday night class where I can go and play with the other "kids" and learn and have FUN!

FUN is a spoke in the prosperity wheel. Gotta have fun. It seems, at a certain age, we think being "grown up" or "adult" means we have to put aside FUN! The only time we can actually have fun is when we're drunk, or at some organized event such as a football game. We're so unused to seeing adults have fun that when someone is, we're either derogatory or jealous.

What's cool about being my age is, when I'm out having FUN that's different than what others do, I can just tell people I'm eccentric ~ or, just an adult out having fun and I'm sober! Best way to have fun! You don't make a fool of yourself and you remember what you did the next day and get to smile and do it again! How FUN is that?

So, get out, get prosperous; become abundant and share!

Injoy,

Revvell

[rawrawks]

You're in a transition phase. Also, I'm not sure you're totally grieved the loss of your last job. AND, I'm thinking self-esteem issues?

I really feel like I am over my last job. It was long overdue to be done with it.

I feel very confident and feel good about myself. I KNOW beyond a shad of a doubt what I have to offer others.

So I dont see those two things as an issue....hmmmmmmm. Its more bout money so I will read your post below.

[rawrawks]

Yes I beleive if its not fun dont do it. I love to be in fun and in touch with my childlike nature...why I nannied kids I guess.

Prosperity and abundance for me is soooooooo not about toys. I say "the one who lives longest and has the most fun doing it wins" hahahaha.

I am learning daily and have been for all my life but mostly about raw for the last two years. I have value to offer in the way of experiences and coaching andbeing world smart.

I KNOW what value I have to offer. Just seeing what is stopping me? Fear hmmmm fear of what? Failure? Or success? hmmmm

I am seeking a breakthrough.

Yesterday met with a highly successful marketer and she gave me the grilling..as if she was a client with a challenge in her health. I believe she was impressed as well as very much in agreement with my plunging into rawlife coaching. Enthusiasm was overwhelming in my conversation andshe came at me with many angles. It was profound!

I see, as I am speaking here, my concern is making enough to cover my expenses right off. I want that and i can speak that I have all I need and more is on the way. Vs the lack conversation.
(I see the nanny apps as fear and desperation....also pain in my heart for being willing to sell my happy and wondrous spirit for money not for love)

[Revvell]

When I left my last job (got fired after 4 years), I was pretty much done with it too. I was hanging on because I needed the money and was looking at how I could create my business.

I sang as I was clearing out my stuff. I felt FREEEEE! I was joyous!

Two weeks later, I'd still not done anything about my business. I needed to pay rent, buy food, pay bills but STILL didn't do anything about my business. 6 months later...still nothing. There was stuff going on below the surface I never addressed. I was depressed, grief came up (not about the last job but, because I didn't trust myself), my self-esteem was down...

When your self-esteem is up ~ you're out doing what you need to do. It's basically that simple.

Now, final tip ~

One reason I'm not getting started is ~
One reason I'm not doing what I want to create income is ~
One reason I keep looking outside for help is ~

Write those done, come up with 6-10 endings for each.


I really feel like I am over my last job. It was long overdue to be done with it.

I feel very confident and feel good about myself. I KNOW beyond a shad of a doubt what I have to offer others.

So I dont see those two things as an issue....hmmmmmmm. Its more bout money so I will read your post below.

[rawrawks]

One reason I'm not getting started is ~
I am scared
I feel I wont have enough
I am being lazy
I dont know how it will go
It feels hard
It might be too complicated for my life

One reason I'm not doing what I want to create income is -
I do not know
Its all I want with all my heart so why am I not (answer a question with a question)




One reason I keep looking outside for help is ~
I feel alone
I feel unsure of how
I love support and experience of those who are doing it
I get ideas
I feel supported
I am afraid

I am scared
I feel I wont have enough
I am being lazy
I dont know how it will go
It feels hard
It might be too complicated for my life

One reason I'm not doing what I want to create income is -
I do not know
Its all I want with all my heart so why am I not (answer a question with a question)




One reason I keep looking outside for help is ~
I feel alone
I feel unsure of how
I love support and experience of those who are doing it
I get ideas
I feel supported
I am afraid
I am mustering the courage


well here are some thoughts that came quickly

[rawrawks]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One reason I'm being lazy is....
I dont feel as well as I can
I am freezing and it is sooo cold out
I am prob a bit down
I have a lack conversation that creates this sluggishness


Even if its hard
I can do it anyway
I know life isnt always easy
Perhaps its easy not hard
I will do it
I want to do it because its worth it to my happiness
the best things might be a lil hard.
I know I can do it anyway

Even though I'm scared...
I can be afraid and feel that and do it anyway
Use fear to move me forward to my advantage not to my despair
I know, in my heart, it will be ok
Fear is not always real
I can face it, look at it, thank it, and do it anyway

One thing that scares me...
Is rejection I suppose
Failure
success
Not being able to make a living
going back to a job I hated
doing anything else and having my spirit die
having a job that doesnt make a huge difference in the world
doing something that means nothing to me
not getting started
being overwhelmed
getting in too deep


If I don't get started.....
I will act in desperation to pay my expenses
I will sit and rot in my cardboard box
I will feel unfulfilled
I will get depressed
I will let myself down
My kids will feel nervous and disappointed
I will feel silly with all the people I told what I was going to do
It wont be good

wow...eye opening!!!

[rawrawks]

Two weeks later, I'd still not done anything about my business. I needed to pay rent, buy food, pay bills but STILL didn't do anything about my business. 6 months later...still nothing.


Well I better get ON it cuz in six months I would be waaaaay sink. I am self supporting. No money , no rent, no house. Hahahaha

[Revvell]

Been there, done that. Don't follow my path there. Without action, nothing happens.

[rawrawks]

Right...all there is to do is take action.

[rawrawks]

My new avatar inspires me!!!

[rawrawks]

Well, I just got clear, in creating abundance and prosperity....at least in the beginning, I am seeking to keep it simple. I woke up seeing the complicated nature of ALL of it, all there is to do and be. So I siad "keep it simple" and right after that, a friend I was meeting with around marketing made a simple starter suggestion.

Things they are conspiring for abundance..wooohoooo.

[Conscious Midwife]

GLAD YOU GOT "IT"

Thanks for the dialogue jsut the kick start I need to maintain my focus!!!

[RawHeaven]

So, get out, get prosperous; become abundant and share!

Injoy,

Revvell

Thank you so much for sharing this Revvell!

I appreciate!!

Love.

[Revvell]

Heyyyyy! You've come home!!! :) *does happy RH dance*


Thank you so much for sharing this Revvell!

I appreciate!!

Love.

[RawHeaven]

I am prosperous and abundant. Everything I want is always available to me because I am that. What I'm creating is aligned with this (abundance) consciousness and is on it's way!

[RawHeaven]

Heyyyyy! You've come home!!! :) *does happy RH dance*

I'm home. yay!

Love you. Muah!

[freshlight]

I must say: Revvells thoughts are very interesting and refreshing! My point about not accepting every job out there is, to keep the energy in the right flow...but I do get your point and will meditate on that one :) Thank you so much for sharing your light with us!

[Revvell]

Speaking of Abundance and Prosperity, does this sound familiar? "Discover the Beautiful Power Within". It came in #2 in the poll.

[freshlight]

wow!!! :) is it finished then? Which one did you take for your classes? I'm ever so curious :)

[Revvell]

Yep! It's done! Not quite sure on the classes. Going to play with them. I like one, a lot yet, might play with words and make sure it's what I want.

So, you want a smoozie book or a t-shirt?


wow!!! :) is it finished then? Which one did you take for your classes? I'm ever so curious :)

[freshlight]

wow........what JOY! I'd love to have one of those gorgeous T-shirts please :)

Thank you!

[Revvell]

Choose one. We'll figure out how to get it to you. Congrats!


wow........what JOY! I'd love to have one of those gorgeous T-shirts please :)

Thank you!

[freshlight]

wohooo! wanna date is my favourite one :)
Mange tak! :D

[Revvell]

Which tee? What size? Where to?

[rawrawks]

Hi Revvell, so things have been exciting. I want to thank you soooo much for being the go-between and helping me get my profile set straight. Phew whatta mess....all good now though.

Anyway things seem to be pulling for all I am looking at and what we have talked about.
Yesterday I got filmed at Catch A Healtyh Habit Cafe in Westville CT as I was there with some girls I am coaching. It was exciting and fun. It was unexpected and we were all just finishing a liver cleanse so we were a lil cleanse weary.

But the video was great and Glen Colello (you know Glen, owner of the cafe) gave me a shot at touting my wares yet I am not set up yet to refer but he said he can add it in later. We will work togehter more I am sure on getting it out there.

Anyways the videos I am referring to I will post in my blog I will make in a few mins so you can see them. I have been hesitant to make vids yet they came out nice and I really felt comfy and happy with the results.
I was also happy how silly we were and I pix that being my forte`. A slant, an edge, inspirational and funny that keep em coming and want to hang out with me!

So go look in a few mins and write here and do tell!!! Thankx
p.s. ALl of our exercise above, although was a bit revealing and embarrassing (although I am as real and raw as they come) was very good for me and i am now creating NEW conversation. Will keep you posted. That moved me to a new level soooo thank you!

[Revvell]

Alrighty then. Congratulations!!!

[rawrawks]

THANK YOU!!!! Exciting stuff this is. Love where I am now vs a bit ago sharing my stuffages (mostly poor excuses). I am reading Wayne Dyer "Excuses Begone" and am thrilled to have all my old conversations be brought to thefore to be disappeared. Profound my dear.!!!

[rawrawks]

Rev, I made two videos today!!! I cannot believe that I held off doing this for sooo long and I flung myself into them today. They were sooo much fun!!
Go to my bloggity blog to see them if u wanna....wooohooooo.

[rawffle]

Rawffle ~ how'd your meetup go? That's a GREAT idea!

Oops! Sorry, I don't get a chace to come here as often as I'd like.

It was AWESOME! I am eagerly awaiting the next one. It was just exactly what I needed. I must have created it :)

[rawrawks]

Rev, I have a question. I was wondering what one might charge for a class for raw foods? I am getting set up and have people who are signing up, I just need to set a fee for the class. I am providing instruction, value, fun, more fun, food demos as well as tasting and CHOCOLATE of course!!! I would be so gratfeul for your input. pssssst I live in an area where money is not a prob w peeps here.Thnkx!

[Revvell]

I think $25-45 is reasonable. What you have to look at is the cost of the food, how many people will be coming and how much your time/experience and knowledge is worth. Also, the demand for what you're offering.

[rawrawks]

Thankx. I have a bunch of people spoken for to attend. In my area, there is no one doing it as far as I can see. There is a need, not sure about demand. I sure see it as something that will fly here.

[rawrawks]

Rev, am a lil bit discouraged. Dont know why. Everything I put out there for income has come to nought. While leaning into the flow of it and listening all the while for which way to row my boat, I fret sometimes.

It seems like everything is pulling me in the direction of raw coaching,classes etc. I do not know what on earth is stopping me?

Yes, admittedly ~hangs her head~ am still stopped and stuck. BOY!

What say you? Thnkx in advance.

[Revvell]

One of the things we focused on in my last teleclass was the truth when we say "I don't know why...". We know. We're just afraid to look within and find the truth.

One reason I'm not doing what I say I want is.....
One thing I need to do is....
One reason I feel I need to work for others is....

Write down just as we do with the appreciations and come up with 6+ endings for each. Should give a bit of clarity.

[Green_Woman]

One reason I'm not doing what I say I want is.....

...I'm afraid of success because my Mother told me earthly success produces sin, and I believed her.
...I'm afraid of success because I have allowed myself to buy into a mindset of self-defeat in order to "prevent" myself from "straying".
...I'm not sure how to start, yet!
...I fear getting what I want and losing it, as I have allowed to happen by being afraid it would in the past.
...I simply haven't made the time to do it yet!



One thing I need to do is....

...interview home-business owners at the Farmer's Market today and take notes on how they run their businesses.
...create a business plan on paper and have peers review it as well as an SBDC advisor.
...create a solid list of no less than 10 products I will sell, re-sell, make, or design for consumers that are high-sellers and cheap to produce and market.
...write the little RAW book I've been wanting to write for so long simply because I love to write and I've really been wanting to get these thoughts on paper for others to read. I LOVE RAW, and I LOVE writing! :D
...hit the road and finish this later! It's 11:45am so I only have an hr to get down to the Farmer's Market and start talking to people!!!


One reason I feel I need to work for others is...

...because of what Bill taught me about giving back what's been given to you.
...because it gives me a sense of contentment about being alive and human.
...because I want to make God smile and his Children see His love in action.
...because I feel that this go-around on my life, my energy was destined to be a Social Entrepreneur - the entire last 24 yrs of my life has been leading me towards a life of action and impact.
...that I need to, for me. When I'm focused on myself, I become unhealthy and unhappy... when I'm focused on helping others, I find myself.

[Revvell]

Thanks for that GW. Takes courage to put that out there.

What's interesting to me is the 3rd one. I had put it there because so many feel they have to work for others and NOT be entrepreneurial (meaning having a "real" job) and you turned it around to working FOR others as in helping them, yes? Way cool! :)

Oops, yes I did read it that way. Ha!

You know, since I posted my response to this two weeks ago, I've redirected my focus. I'm still 100% committed to paving an entrepreneurial path to prosperity for myself AND OTHERS, however I did a fair bit of ground work on the original idea and the more I learned, the more I realized it wasn't the path I was looking for...

...however, I have found my next destination... it was tucked away in the answers to #3:


...write the little RAW book I've been wanting to write for so long simply because I love to write and I've really been wanting to get these thoughts on paper for others to read. I LOVE RAW, and I LOVE writing!

I am now preparing myself for a wild ride through 2010-11 as I pursue this goal... meanwhile, I'd just like to add that the ride is only as wild as I make it: after all, I'm in the driver's seat, now. ;)

P.S. I'm ready to play the Prosperity Game, now.

[Revvell]

GW~ LOVING your abundance and all you're sharing on the appreciations thread. :)

[Revvell]

Yesterday, I had a 5-hour kettlebell class. We also had a 2-hour break after the first three hours.

After the class, my teacher (Zenkahuna on YouTube ~ you "may" see me there after the weekend when he returns from the Rancho and puts up the vids) said that he wants to do this 3 more times this year (at $250 times each) and for two hours every month he has a weekend with his students (at $100 each). Immediately my lil monkey starts gibbering in my ear that we can't do this. Of course we can! That's ridiculous! lol

I currently have more than enough money to do that if I don't make another dime yet, it goes to show, old monkey mind habits die hard.

Most of my life it was hard for me to understand that, I've always had money. Even when I got fired from my jobs (which was often because I always thought I could run the business better than they could :rolleyes: ) I'd KNOW I'd have a job within 2 weeks (which I always did) and I ALWAYS had funds to survive in between.

I was going to say it wasn't until I worked outside, away from the "bosses" that I actually kept jobs for longer than 3 months but, that isn't true. I worked for one chiropractor for about 5 years until he injured (and failed to take care of) his arm and sold his practice to a very unscrupulous guy who was committing insurance fraud.

Anyway, about abundance.

Yesterday, instead of driving, I got to ride with someone. It gave me a chance to let my mind wander and I was thinking about money.

Many times in the past I realized I was hanging on to my last $20. It actually WASN'T my last $20 because I ALWAYS had funds in the bank but, for me, that wasn't there. I didn't recognize it. Weird, eh?

So, I strangled that $20 until I really needed to purchase something and, you know what? More came in! Before that, I had so much fear around giving up that $20 and then HAVING to dip into my savings that, I blocked the energy flow.

Yesterday, as I got to be the passenger, I was thinking about abundance and flow.

Think of two people and a doorway. One wants to go out (the $20 I DID have) and, another wants to come in (the abundance I wasn't open to). One is trying to go out while the other is coming in.

Solution, the one coming in steps aside, so the one going out can go out, then the one coming in can come in. That's called circulation!

Consider circulating your money, not spending it. Look at the last 3 letters of the word "spend". That's what happens when we hoard our money. The circulation. Now, I'm not saying go out and blow it! What I am saying is, let go of the fear of letting it go! When you strangle it, it can't flow. I know. :)

Joe Vitale is giving away a free ebook on Prosperity!

When I first began reading it I was saying ~ O.k., he's just regurgitating what so many others are saying. He's NOT! He IS saying what my teacher has told his students (me) over and over! It's not heard/read often enough.

Here's the link to his site:

http://www.attractmoneynow.com/

After, you will receive another confirmation link. After that, you'll receive a link to his ebook ~

Have patience it will come! I'd read where others kept asking where it was and he kept saying... check your email. Well, wait. It does come.

The reason I'm putting this out is because I feel EVERYONE should be abundant! EVERYONE should live well! If you don't take up this off AND read the ebook, you're making a big mistake!

Oh! Was funny. A woman on a forum I attend refused the link because she said she was so used to living at poverty level she wouldn't know how to live otherwise. Sad, but true. There are many out there who are not yet ready to thrive.

Where do YOU want to be? Survival or thrival level? Up to you!

Revvell

[Revvell]

You know what's interesting to me ~ I have more money than many people here and you know what I did to get it? I read books like the FREE one I recommended below. You know what? Not ONE person thanked me for it.

So many here complain they don't have the money to purchase a Vita-Mix or an Excaliber of a top-of-the-line food processor and someone gives them the key to having these and they bypass it...

I know what that's about. Been there, done that. Still learning to appreciate daily; still learning to appreciate inspiration; still learning about self-esteem ~ they are all ongoing processes due to our programming.

My teacher has said numerous times ~ you can tell people the secret and it'll still be a secret. Joe Vitale tells you the secret in the book I refered to in the previous post.

My question to you is, if not now, when?

You know, I see someone like Green_Woman ~ her age and all she's doing and wish I knew when I was her age, what I know now. I was a friggin' idjit. Totally unconscious, totally unaware of the possibilities that were available to me.

Don't wait until you're my age. Do it now! Take advantage of whatever opportunities come your way. This book is one of them.

Revvell

[Green_Woman]

You know what? Not ONE person thanked me for it.

My friend Andie read it in one night and she was BLOWN away.... I downloaded it to add to my list this week, too, after listening to her rave for hours last night AND today.

I gotta say, I can't WAIT to read it now after watching the over night transformation in my previously deeply depressed, now STOKED friend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Revvell]

When I first read it I thought it was trite and he was just regurgitating stuff I'd already read so many times before until I really got into it. It's different! Stuff my teacher has said yet, hearing it from another source...

Great for Andie!!! I'm reading it still (final pages), plus Crush It that Lara (I think it was) recommended. Lots of reading!


My friend Andie read it in one night and she was BLOWN away.... I downloaded it to add to my list this week, too, after listening to her rave for hours last night AND today.

She's already got off her butt and started DOING/BEING more presently and abundantly than she has in YEARS... I'm amazed.

I gotta say, I can't WAIT to read it now after watching the over night transformation in my previously deeply depressed, angry friend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You know what's interesting to me ~ I have more money than many people here and you know what I did to get it? I read books like the FREE one I recommended below. You know what? Not ONE person thanked me for it.

Hmmm I am the richest person on earth (inner richness) but I dont say so, I live so.

As far as no one thanking you, there are many things in this life we are not thanked for but we do them anyway. Doing things with no goal or outcome or reward in mind is the higher ground.

Purposely doing things for which no one can thank you is the most incredible feeling. I love anonymous giving.

That having been said, I popped in here, as I am away now, to see whats up and saw this fave thread. I downloaded Joe V. book and am reading it. It is valuable and I am not through it yet.

So yes, I thank you immmensly in advance for all it will produce in my life! Bless you Rev and many thankx.

[Revvell]

Hmmm I am the richest person on earth (inner richness) but I dont say so, I live so.

You just said so and I say so because I want people to know that they can have it too! There is no end to richness ~ physical, mental, emotional, financial, spiritual yet, when one acknowledges what they have, they put themselves in a position to receive more ~ which scares the daylights out of many.




As far as no one thanking you, there are many things in this life we are not thanked for but we do them anyway. Doing things with no goal or outcome or reward in mind is the higher ground. And learning how to appreciate for what one receives is the BEST thing for having more! I learned how to appreciate when someone gave me something. When my teacher use to tell us we were miserly with our appreciations, I use to wonder wtf? We PAY you! What he shared with us was, when you are FULL with all you've received, giving appreciations helps empty the bucket so there's room for more. I have found this is the case AND you don't do it in order to receive more, you do it just to do it which is why I do it daily/constantly.

Giving is the same as Joe says in this book YET, I am a teacher and this is part of my teaching. The more one is open to giving ~ money, possessions, a smile, a nod, a helping hand, an appreciation ~ the more one is open to receiving ~ not necessarily from the same source yet.. just open.




Purposely doing things for which no one can thank you is the most incredible feeling. I love anonymous giving. As do I but this was not anonymous and I can see why so many are not receiving and complaining about it. They don't appreciate what they have and/or are receiving.




That having been said, I popped in here, as I am away now, to see whats up and saw this fave thread. I downloaded Joe V. book and am reading it. It is valuable and I am not through it yet.

So yes, I thank you immensely in advance for all it will produce in my life! Bless you Rev and many thankx.You're very welcome and I know you're blessed. Enjoy! :)

Addendum ~ one thing my teacher has said ~ "you can tell people the secret and it'll still be a secret".... what I've said above ~ is still a secret. Shhhhhh!

[Shine]

Thank you for the link to the book Revvell!! It has now entered my inbox and I am excited to start reading!!!

And I thank LL too for commenting on the thread so it popped up for me to notice and read. I haven't read this thread much - did at the very beginning but put it away. Well - today I was ready!!

I demand prosperity to enter my life ;)

[Revvell]

Thank you for the link to the book Revvell!! It has now entered my inbox and I am excited to start reading!!!

You're welcome. Now, out of all the people who've read this thread, only a few have acknowledged this gift. How many have downloaded it?

See, Shine giving me appreciations is nice but, it's not for me. In actuality, I don't care if any of you do ~ for me! It's for you!

I can hear the lil monkey voices chattering in your haids ~

"I'm not going to do it because SHE said so.."
"If I do it now, it'll be false"
"I don't even like her..."

Blah, blah, blah. I went through all that myself. Heard it all as well and I'll tell you, it's just a lil monkey voice.

You know what Shine did? She took action. You know how I know? Because of her last statement "I demand prosperity to enter my life".

This is not about liking me; it's not about feeling phony because I suggested (o.k. TOLD) you how to become prosperous... it's not about me. It's about a secret.

We know there is a book and a movie called "The Secret" and yes, Joe Vitale was in it yet, they didn't really tell you "THE Secret" ~ they told you part of it. Joe tells you more about it in the book.

IF you want to go to Alissa's training and don't have the funds, know this ~ I went.

IF you want to have a Vita-Mix, a 9-Tray Excalibur, a 5-bedroom house (like I have), the love of your life who whispers in your ear after years of marriage "I love you"; IF you want to work for yourself (as I do); IF you want prosperity across the board... I'm telling you THE secret...

Just know this ~ even IF you know THE secret, even IF you act on THE secret, the universe may test you. Sort of like a raw food detox. Thing is, when you come out the other side, you'll be sharing THE secret with others. Just don't be attached to the outcome. Many will hear it, many will ignore it... and a few will get it and take action. Is what it is. :)




I demand prosperity to enter my life ;)

Yaaaay you! AND, you've already got it! :)

[lovenlife]

Thank you Rev, I am ready to dig into Joes book some more. I LOVE what I have heard already and it sure is not the same ol stuff...wooh ooo..

Thankx again and as always, I appreciate you.Lv,Bette

[Revvell]

You're very welcome, Bette. Thank YOU for all you're doing. I appreciate you and what you do. You're prosperous and have much to share and I see you doing it. :)


Thank you Rev, I am ready to dig into Joes book some more. I LOVE what I have heard already and it sure is not the same ol stuff...wooh ooo..

Thankx again and as always, I appreciate you.Lv,Bette

[Shine]

After reading this thread today I have decided to take a bit more action and follow GW's lead (as I see her bouncy and shiny from all the way across the country) and step-up and stand up for myself. I appreciate the prosperity in my life and I ask for more!!


One reason I'm not doing what I want is...

1. I am afraid to be too happy because if I lose at that point I lose everything
2. I am just as afraid of success as I am of failure
3. I can’t figure out what it is I really want to do
4. Change scares me and “I’m fine” doing what I am doing
5. I don’t want to start at the bottom again
6. I want to continue schooling to do something really cool but still don’t know what


One thing I need to do is…

1. Be authentic - be true to myself, be honest with myself
2. Stop making excuses to remain stuck where I am
3. Stop thinking I don’t have the money to change my life
4. Become more disciplined – with exercise, meditation, play, etc.
5. Save money for a house now because I have it to save
6. Be happy with all that I have


One reason I feel the need to work for others is…

1. Steady paychecks are re-assuring to me
2. Having a routine helps me with my sanity and keeps me out of the house
3. I don’t know what I really want to do on my own
4. I need insurance if I want to have a baby – and my employer provides it
5. I like interacting with my co-workers
6. Safety, job security, same-ness (perceived only of course)

[Revvell]

Wow Shine! That is powerful and courageous! Congratulations for stepping up and revealing! To reveal is to heal. You go girl! I'm impressed! :)

[Revvell]

After receiving Joe's book, I received an email from him offering a couple of older books that have been turned into ebooks. I paid the $19 for them. I'll peruse them and see if they are worth purchasing before suggesting them to you.

One is called "At Your Command" and the other, "Mastery of Self" for Wealth, Power, Success (first published in 1910).

Is $19 a lot for ebooks? That would depend. It IS all profit for those who are selling them yet, if they give a wealth of knowledge... what's that worth? to me, priceless.

I'll get back to you on 'em.

Anyone else who got the original book mentioned here gotten them?

Or, gotten the "Attract Money Now" book? If so, whatchu think?

Revvell

[Revvell]

To me, this is a very powerful statement from the ebook "At Your Command" which I'm reading ~

"Prayers to be successful must be claiming
rather than begging — so if you would pray for
riches turn from your picture of poverty by denying
the very evidence of your senses and assume the
nature of being wealthy."

I was sceptical of this book at first because I have no beliefs yet, it's showing me a totally new understanding (so far) of how to perceive life.

For me, that alone is worth the $19 I paid for it.

I'll get back to you. :)

[somelikeitraw]

Revvell

OMG! Revvell ~ this is right on the money! er, so to speak ;)

I found your link to the ebook today and I am very grateful for it! Many thanks my friend, many thanks! :D

All I can say in answer to your question above is - When does the apple fall from the tree? When it is ready.

It is interesting to me that so many things we say we want can slip by unnoticed by us because we simply aren't ready, haven't the mindset yet.

This is very much along the same lines of learning I am receiving from other teachers. Thanks for reviewing and keeping us posted!

You're welcome. "At Your Command" is an awesome book! That one alone was worth the price.

[somelikeitraw]

One reason I'm not doing what I say I want is.....
1) Fear. Fear of failure and fear of success.
2) Other people are doing the same things and I don't think I could compete.
3) I don't perceive my own value.
4) I don't like accountability.
5) I'm not sure if it's really what I want.
6) Self sabotage :eek:


One thing I need to do is....
1) Value myself, love myself.
2) Move out of a "should/have to" mindset and into a "could/get to" mindset.
3) Continually focus on the positives.
4) Keep asking myself deeper questions.
5) Replace fear with excitement.
6) Realize that mistakes are a way of learning.


One reason I feel I need to work for others is....
I don't feel I need to work for others. Although, in a sense I am because my husband does and I am the home front support for both him and our daughter, so here goes...
1) I have less responsibility so if I mess up it isn't the end of the world.
2) Less risk financially.
3)
Sorry, that's all I've got. After attending a Never Work Again event by T. Harv Ecker, I am pretty much unemployable.

I do have another - "One thing I need to do is...." Really work the business I have to get it solid, and find another that will fit well with it so I start creating other multiple streams by which dollars can flow into my life. You know, as well as the ways money is already flowing into my life.

[Revvell]

You say "fear" yet, it takes utmost courage to put out here what you did. I truly appreciate the courage it takes to do that.

Yes, I understand about working for others. Can't do it.... well, COULD yet, unless I'm away from the "bosses"... lol

I find these so powerful and so true for me too. Thank you for putting this "out there".... I can relate so well - and I love your positive attitude :)


I have printed out the THE OPTOMIST CREED and have read it this morning and probablly will again a few times today. Today I am working on this one in-particular:

To give so much time to improvin gyourself that you have no time to criticize others
....having an issue at work and it's bothered me so much I couldn't sleep last night....

Found a dollar in my pocket this morning!! :D

Yayyyy! Abundance!!!

Many will say ... a DOLLAR? So what? Well, the universe itself doesn't see it that way. It's all abundance!

[Revvell]

Promise Yourself


To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.

To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet.

To make all your friends feel that there is something worthwhile in them.

To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.

To think only of the best, to work only for the best and to expect only the best.

To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.

To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.

To wear a cheerful expression at all times and give a smile to every living creature you meet.

To give so much time to improving yourself that you have no time to criticize others.

To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud word, but in great deeds.

To live in the faith that the whole world is on your side, so long as you are true to the best that is in you.


Interesting that I see this today. Yesterday I went for a walk and stopped in a shop that's been having financial difficulties ~ to give her some support. She immediately began telling me about her family troubles, her business troubles, how this other shop moved across the street and yada, yada, yada....

I suggested she focus on what she wanted, not what she didn't want and stop telling everyone about her problems. What one focuses on...

She told me that I was the ONLY person she was telling ~ except I already knew what was going on because Himself came home the previous night and told me so, I already knew.

Even AFTER telling her, she continued on so, I whispered quietly, focus on what you want, not what you don't want; focus on your business...

And, she's living in fear of her business going under...

I suggested Joe Vitale's book (the link is on this thread)... Whether she gets it or not... it's all the process of life.

Thank you Shine for mentioning the Optimist's Creed. I've got it and will print it out. :)

I love how we share here. Sort of like a mastermind group of prosperity.

Revvell

[Shine]

Can I help with that?

I think I am just being catty... we have a long term sub who grated me from the beginning stating "I don't think she's coming back" meaning the teacher he is subbing for who is battling a re-currance of cancer. He has really taken over her position without giving her any credit for the course she has taught for 30+ years and that really bothers me. But yesterday he lied to another instructor about his year of graduation and I know it was a lie as I went to the same high school as he did. Lying just irritates me to no end - and I know he knows I know he lied - see, catty!! I think because I find him irritating I am looking for things to critisize to keep that opinion of him. So.....

he is excited about this opportunity to teach students
he cares about what he is doing (teaching)
he is trying very hard to get along with everyone and get to know everyone
it's hard being "the new guy"

:o

[RawKnitster]

somelikeitraw, I was floored when I read your last post here. Every statement you made is me, including the part about being the home front for husband and daughter.

[RawKnitster]

revvell, I'm copying and printing "Promise Yourself". I love it! Thanks! :)

[RawKnitster]

I googled. So that IS The Optimist Creed. Everything is in there. I've read it all so many other place, scattered, in different words. I can relate to it best in this format. Short and complete, without a lot fluff.

I am starting each day by reading it. :)

[Revvell]

Meeeow! :p

Yes, I know. Lying irritates me too yet, consider why people lie ~ they don't feel they are "enough" as they are and feel the need to be "more and better" ~ whatever that means to themselves. They lack self-esteem and feel they can't do the job KNOWING someone was there before them and they will compared.

I'm not saying they are right. I'm just saying, it is what it is.

When I was first with my teacher I did the same. Kept looking to make him wrong. Things changed with us when I began looking to make him right.

Good job!

"On thing I like about this sub is... (find 6-10 things about him, maybe not JUST as a teacher but as a human being..."

Once you do that a few times, your relationship with him (and yourself) will change and maybe he'll allow himself to relax and just be who he is. If not, no your responsibility, no?

Great job!

Rev

Too awesome!!! Thanks!! :)

[Conscious Midwife]

I created the opportunity for purchasing the house I live in and my part time gig/ occupation

I accept them for what they are and for what they provide yet realize both are in need of an upgrade. I accept that I am responsible for making that upgrade happen!

As I continue to vibrate higher, continue to maximize my potential and continue to be my best authentic self all that I desire all that is good and wonderful comes my way.

Through higher vibration both my desired occupation and aspired vocation will resonate with the essence that is within me.

Through higher vibration the location and design of my house will mirror all that I've imagined.

[RawKnitster]

You're welcome. I think Shine mentioned it and that's what I found. Is it correct? Whatever, I like it. lol

Big thanks to Shine and you for putting it out here. I love it. Ending my nights and starting my days reading it. I feel like changing all the "your" to a more possessive "my".

I'm poking my head in this thread for the first time. I'm liking the optimist's creed and will try to get to reading/meditate on it regularly. Upon looking it up I came across another helpful little video of a similar vein. Would it be ok to link to it here? I'll come back to post it if I get the go ahead, but I am going to catch up on the 11 pages I have missed so far.

[Revvell]

Yup it will be o.k. and oh! Give us a 5-star rating too, 'k? :D

So I finally did it - signed up for The Prosperity Game!!! :) (can't figure out how to post the link but it's one the first page in Revvell's post)

Today is Day 3 and seeing that check sure brought a smile to my face this morning! Last night I made my 100 List which was both harder and easier than I thought. The thing I found most interesting was the list was the most full of things to learn and experiences to try than tangible objects, and that made me happy :)

So, we shall see that today will bring!

[Revvell]

Isn't it fun seeing the check every time you "check" in???

I'm the same... have most everything I want yet, want to get out and experience more. Sometimes I have to remember (in the game) that currently, where I am in it, I can pretty much do anything and everything I want... well, in THIS game of life, I can already do that too! LOL

Choosing Prosperity (http://www.choosingprosperity.com/game/index.php)

What's been the most amazing is, since I wrote my last few blogs, AND given funds to Green_Woman's girls (http://www.ghfci.org/) and Jungle Friends (http://www.junglefriends.org/), money has been coming in from the most amazing places! I preferred to send it off from incoming funds even though I could take it from my savings so, as soon as I declared I was going to give money to both, it came in! I even gave more to the primates than I had planned!

Yesterday, I received a check in the mail for affiliate sales. WAY more than I had anticipated AND someone sent me cash as a birthday gift. THEN, someone purchased some merchandise from my estore!!! This morning, I get up and someone else had purchased ebooks from my store!! Now, I have NOT promoted my store at all lately! It's not even on my new site which I HAVE been promoting! I'm blown away!!!

If you don't know what I'm blathering on about, please go to my blog here on RFT.

So! Have a most mahvelous day! I'm going to send some more funds to G_W's girls and do a UStream show on relieving pain.

Laterzzz!

[Revvell]

Done! Sent some more funds to possibly help get the plumbing fixed for G_W's Girls.

[Revvell]

I'm on day 33. Obviously I've not been playing daily yet, on day 33, my check was for $33,000! Gave $25,000 to G_W's girls. That will cover 5 months of basic needs to keep the place going.

The purpose of the game is to prepare oneself for when they receive that kind of income. People SAY they would like $10,000 or more a month yet they wouldn't know what to do with it when/if it came. This is practice!

What's really cool is finding places to give money to. It took awhile for my brain to figure out that the purpose in having excess money is to be able to share it. Can you imagine if, instead of receiving $10,000 per month (which MANY people couldn't handle) you could receive that much per day???? Yikes!

Well, this game teaches us to look at money in a different way BEFORE receiving it.

Yeah, I hear people tell me all the time "oh, I'd know what to do with it if I got it".... yet, without preparation, they don't which is why lotto winners end up broke so often. They just take the money and blow it!

So much is about prep. I remember someone saying to me ~ People spend a whole year preparing for the wedding and no time at all preparing for the marriage. I see that across the board. People spend a whole lot of time preparing for the birth of a child and little or no time at all preparing for it's life; people spend time buying lotto tickets and not time at all preparing what to do with the money. People spend a lot of time figuring out how to go raw but no time at all figuring out what to do when they are healthy/slimmer, etc. All these things change peoples' lives and they have no idea what to do about them.... pretty much hit and miss.

Enjoy!

This morning I chose to pay off all the debt I could with my check, so I splt it up. I am thinking it's because I got a pay check today and it will reinforce me paying bills (sometimes I begin to think I don't have the money to pay bills so I don't then they're late but the money is just sitting in my account doing nothing.....) but in doing that even in the game I am thinking it leaves me more opportunity to give as I am not holding back and I will not owe....

I think you bring up a hugly valid point rev, with planning for the event and not the life. JJ and I were really aware of this when we were going through the process and I really believe it served us well. My former step-sister went about it the other way and planned for the "one-in-a-lifetime-event" of her wedding and was seperated four months later and is now divorced..... I will have to start paying attention to this. :)

'xactly. When I receive what to me is a fairly large bill, my lil monky mind tells me I "should" just pay part of it and "save" the money, then my conscious mind tells me "you've got the money, there's more where that comes from, you're going to have to pay it eventuallly ~ do it now!" It's done! Now, more $$$ comes in and I can have more options other than one more payment on that bill I "should" have paid.

I will have to start paying attention to this. :)

I've been finding it's quite true in so many areas of my life. If it concerns another (such as marriage) issues and situations need to be discussed before the wedding such as children, where to live, how to deal with the money, sex, etc. Personally, I've found that what life is like before marriage, is not the same after.

Having children ~ people think their lives wont change. They have this unrealistic idea of what having a child is like. After one of my clients had her first child she came to me, threw herself down and said "I want my life back!" (She has since adjusted quite nicely; is a GREAT mom and just had her second ~ by choice and planning.)

People don't plan for having money. I did an exercise with some people in one of my teleclasses and asked what they would do with $10,000. Each one dealt with it differently. Some spent (not circulated) all of it and went into debt; others circulated wisely and, of course, there were those in between spending and circulating.

Talking to my dad while writing this and was just told that he has a check for me for $400!!! Money that my great-grandparents left me a long time ago!! WOW - thank you Great-Grammie and Papa and thank YOU Universe!! :D

Pretty dang cool! Spent my first check from the universe on a pair of shape-up shoes. Was planning on buying them with money I had been given for Christmas but ended up spending it on my nephew instead, so now I have my new shoes that help my legs shape up and feel great!

Interesting - While I was writing my shoe buying experience, I received a call about a business op. Went for it. Thought that since it came in while I was doing prosperity play it might be just what I was looking for. Will keep you posted.

[Green_Woman]

I'm actually thinking the reason my finances were a mixture of blessing and curse last year is because though I reached a point where I was bringing in ALOT, I stopped giving and spreading it and started saving/spending on myself exclusively.

I shut off the valve of abundance, and the Universe probably decided I wasn't worth the investment since I was just gonna horde! :D

This year, I'm focusing on the FLOW. I want what comes to me to go through me to others, whether it's giving $$, time, possession or a listening ear.

I've already noticed something wonderful by putting this at least PARTIALLY into play last month. The more I gave, the more I received in order to be able to give... more!

Abundance = UNLIMITED

Now, gotta get me some more Prosperity Game time tonight. :D And keep reading through YOU CAN HEAL YOUR LIFE because between my conversation with Revvell <3 last week and that book, I'm really starting to "get" some things I just... never... got before!

[freshlight]

I am so grateful for this thread!!!

Thank you for starting it, Rev!

Thank you for posting the link to the prosperity game!

I started playing it some time ago but had to stop inbetween because couldn't deal with the quick changes in my life I had to go through,- I badly needed a break and so I took one and enjoyed it :)
It felt like a strong detox. When you do a water fast you might experience such a strong detox that you'll HAVE TO stop and continue it some time later. This was just the same, only on an emotional level....which can be so painful, so cleansing, so powerful and so beautiful if you realise how much you can grow when you finally stop resisiting, open your arms and agree to LEARN from it.

Thank you for posting the link to Joe Vitale's AMAZING book,- gosh, I didn't even know there are so many goodies out there! :D It's so inspiring, it's hard to express it with words and being a musician it allows me to express most things in my music,- what a gift, isn't it? I'm grateful for that too. Actually, you don't even have to be a professional musician in order to be able to do that,- you could sing, write music, dance and enjoy the flow of life!

Thank you to everyone who participates in this brilliant thread,- I learn a lot from each of you. All of you are beautiful and very creative people. I love being surrounded with such wonderful friends.

Couple of years ago I bought a book called "The power of your subconscious mind" written by Joseph Murphy. I loved it but couldn't fully grasp the truths I am only beginning to feel now. The second step on that journey was the link I once received from my friend. It was a free e-book written by Wallace D. Wattles, here it is:

http//aboutthelawofattraction.com/?page_id=13 (http://aboutthelawofattraction.com/?page_id=13)

He lived between 1860&1911 and was one of the pioneers of the LOA.

Have a great weekend everyone, enjoy the daily gifts some of us stopped noticing and keep appreciating them,- it's FUN!

I haven't read this one yet but it looks quite inspiring as well:

The chapter I love most in Joe Vitale's book is called



GIVE WITHOUT EXPECTATION


I LOVE IT!

[Revvell]

I agree. I think it's the most powerful. My teacher taught that. He gave when he didn't have much to give. When I first started with him 24 years ago, my apartment was furnished pretty much with stuff he gave away. He'd call and say, "I'm giving away this, this, this.... do you want it? If so, pick it up today or it's going down the dumpster".

Thank you for the link to the other book. Got it!!!!

So, I am not wholly sure how this fits in yet but....yesterday I got a gift fom my mom of a jacket. The tag said S/M but the jacket said XL. I took it back to the store (myfavorite store where if I have money to spend I spend it there...) and they said no even exchange without receipt (which I know has not been the case in the past) so when I got home I called the CFO and told him the situation and he agreed with me...and even exchange is an even exchange....and not only do I get to exchange, I am also getting a gift certificate!!!!

Two days ago, I saw a man at the grocery store (very small town) with a sign that his house had been foreclosed on and he had three kids....if you live in a city you may see this all the time, but around here, it takes a lot of humility to do that. So I went back into store and bought a $50 gift certificate for him so his kids could have some food for the week.....

It really does come back to you!

[freshlight]

WOW, thanks for sharing this, Shine. You are beautiful!

Of course it does come back to you but the main reason for doing it is FUN. The joy of giving is an amazing thing. It connects people and helps them to feel the power of LOVE.

You are welcome,- which one did you get? "The science of getting rich?" Enjoy :)

I'd like to thank Revvell for the appreciations thread. At the beginning I was thinking: "Well, those people do have things to appreciate,- they have money,a house, they are married and taken care of. If they find out what I'm going through they'll definitely understand that not everybody can do what they do on a daily basis,- appreciate things they have."

I can't believe those were my thoughts at the time! Such a poor and unintelligent way of thinking, isn't it??? Well, now I KNOW that as soon as you start appreciating everything you have, you won't be able to stop. It's like suddenly waking up in paradise and only feeling sorry for having spend such a long time sleeping.

Enjoy this abundant life!

You GOT it!! Those who don't have (and have a hard time getting) think like you were. They think we're bragging. They don't know how many of us began where they are. I didn't always have money. I always had it coming in... but always considered myself poor until I began recognizing, acknowledging and appreciating what I have. GREAT awareness and courage in putting this out here!

You GOT it!! Those who don't have (and have a hard time getting) think like you were. They think we're bragging. They don't know how many of us began where they are. I didn't always have money. I always had it coming in... but always considered myself poor until I began recognizing, acknowledging and appreciating what I have. GREAT awareness and courage in putting this out here!

thanks. It wasn't easy but I really wanted you to know how much it means to me and tell the others in case they think the way I did,- there is a way out of it!




Just the feeling of appreciating brings make you aware of your abundance, doesn't it? We are truly rich in so many ways yet, choose to ignore it.
This is GREAT! Thank you for sharing.

I wonder WHY we choose to ignore it....hmmmm. Is it just a bad habit or what? Hey, thanks for listening!

Just spent an hour getting up to speed and now have mega resources to pour through. I see many of the "usual suspects" here enlightening each other. Please allow me to join in on the fun. I am a couple of weeks into the game (thanks to Revvell). I'm not sure if I am totally getting it yet. I'll absorb a little more before pretending I really know what I'm talking about. Speak to you soon;)

Or, drop programming altogether and live in the "now"? :)

Hmmm. After I wrote that I thought of how tv is "programmed" and we can just change the channel.

[Green_Woman]

I'm realising that I compartmentalize and limit my own abundance as of late.

I was thinking that I only have time for eating Raw, staying Raw, getting straight A's, doing Yoga and taking care of the Puppies but not also time for Healing my Life, accepting Prosperity, etc.

This is inaccurate thinking.

My TIME is also abundant... I simply need to accept that Abundance encompasses ALL facets of my existence, and that the UNIVERSE is not limited by MY humanness!

[RawHealthyBeauty]

No, I have that one. http://www.unconditionallovebooks.com/

Hey Revvell, thank you!! for posting the link for this book!! This quote in the book on the first page really grab my attention, "the Good You're Seeking is Also Seeking You!!"


Programming. People don't see the line between appreciating and bragging.

I had to learn the hard way of knowing the difference between appreciating and bragging. Whenever I appreciate anything, it multiplies!! Whenever I brag about it or just have a bragging attitude about it, I end up not having it!!

Oh and by the way, I'm just starting to read "Attract Money Now" By Joe Vitale. And I'll share my feedback and thoughts on it as I go along!! :)

[lovenlife]

Rev, thank you for the Joe Vitale Book. I am still reading it and applying it. Just thought to say thankx once again for such a great resource! I love how much you share with all of us.

Oh and I love the Promise Yourself one too.. I love this today, perfect! Thnkx again.

[Revvell]

You're welcome. :)

[lovenlife]

Rev, I have a question.??? I am studying Joes book all the while. In the midst of it, I get an offer for this raw biz. Eventually to be a partner with this woman. For right now, it would be basically all set up in her cafe (with mutual desicions on name etc) with her good quality foods on one side and my raw place on the other.

I am chief manager, worker, planner, uncooker, bottlewasher for the raw place. I bring so very much to the the raw table. I bring the education, teaching, food prep skills, classes, my community of people I have created by teaching them...on n on it goes.

So all has gone well so far...hmmm enter the MONEY conversation. She appears to have no money challenges. She wants to renovate, get all equipment, best juicers, dehy etc. All kinds of stuff no expense spared.

It appears that she is basing my worth, my offerings, on what I bring in (which is a given and beyond her dreams I am sure). This is a reality yes. For a biz to pay out, one must have it coming in.

Here lies the challenge. Her generosity stops with me. Um I am not able to bring home 7 dollars and hour. Nor hold my classes (which I offered to hold there) and she takes half of it.

Enter all the bit about giving things away regardless of outcome etc etc. Is this where that might appply? hmmm just doesnt feel right.

She wants all of my week and I come home with so lil money.
She wont do this without me. Unless she finds some raw peep somewhere who will come in and work for piddly.
I can do my classes on my own with no problem as I had been. I can coach people on my own..etc etc etc. Do I need to go in and work for her ..no.

I saw it and still do as a great opportuinity. I want to see how it CAN be an amazing place for me.

Given Joes book info, where do u see I can tweak my thinking or adjust out.?
I know the ?s you ask and have considered them. I would love some wisdom as you see this circumstance? halp! Please.

[Revvell]

There's a balance between giving things away and charging for your biz. You might give something away to let people know what you do and the quality of your work AND, when you're creating income, give part of it away which is why we create it ~ to be able to do so.

I'm not clear here. Are you saying she's willing to pay you $7/hour? If you hold the class she retains 50%? Or you can't hold your classes there? This makes no sense
... I am not able to bring home 7 dollars an hour. Nor hold my classes (which I offered to hold there) and she takes half of it. Consider this ~ Besides all the renovation, purchase of the equipment, etc., she's also paying the mortgage/rent, utilities, etc. For her, it sounds like, she's now got someone coming in to share/help pay for, the space.

There may be room for negotiating ~ 60/40 split on the classes maybe? Who's purchasing the food? You've also not proven you can bring people in. Maybe after the first 6 months you can renegotiate after she sees what you're doing is worthwhile to her.

Not enough (clear) information here for me to say more. Maybe someone else can chime in?

[lovenlife]

Sorry for not being clear.

Its her new venture. She is buying everything, doing the whole biz side of it. Footing all the money for it all. She will run a regular food cafe on her side with nicer options.

She has offered me very lil money per hour (less than seven dollars and hour) for the whole raw business on my side. To run it all on my side. She knows nothing of raw nor all it takes.
She is buying what I bring to the table. I have it that she wants to pay me less than a store clerk.

I can run my classes anywhere. It takes all the work on my part to do the classes...overhead is minimal. Splitting in half didnt strike me as the ebst option. (she is still workable for sure on this).

Yes I have not yet proven who/what/etc comes in.

So, this is getting me clear on what I want. Do I want to give all I have worked for and learned and produced and created (all my raw contacts,classes etc etc etc) over to her place and be paid less than seven dollars and hour for a boatload of hours per week???

Or is this getting me clear all I can do to do my own things, as it is, as I have been doing only more humongous ...many of the things u suggested back a bit here. If I applied all the energy to my own venture that it will take to load somebody else, what is possible? Huge. What is possible there? Huge.

You always ask why we think we have to work for somebody else...this is the question I am in right now...this is where I dwell.

I hope this helps you see what I am saying more..thank you very much for your wisdom on this. I am seeking clarity. I am willing to see every side of this for to make the wisest choice.

Thank you very much Rev for this. I am grateful. I am more than willing to be set straight if you see a whole diff slant. I am open and ready. Please excuse the lack of editing..in a rush today.

[Revvell]

Well, if it's that easy for you to do it on your own, git-r-done! If you don't have the place/space and she does, it's could be a good way to build your business...

As for classes, do the intro there, then hold the day-long class somewhere else if you can... find out how much other space would cost and what it would take to carry your equipment, set it up, etc.

Talk to her; renegotiate... like I say, give it 6 months, see if you bring in enough to cover HER expenses. Yes, you have the knowledge yet, she is fronting all the stuff in hopes it will bring her something in return.

IF it's a proven venture for her, she'll probably be up for negotiating.

Similar here. Our land-people know what kind of tenants we are. We are taking care of the property and even upgrading it with fruit and shade trees, a veggie garden, grapevines, etc. Rent is up this month. If they raise the rent too much (we've discussed what that will be), we leave. If they leave it as is, we stay.

With her, you work it 6 months to a year, it works out, she's good for renegotiating ~ you want maybe work out a percentage of net rather than an hourly. I dunno. Personally, I'm not up for working for someone else yet, I've done it. Good way to get people know what you're good at; good way to potentially create a catering business.

Just have to ask yourself.... what else you got?

[lovenlife]

Inserts in your post (thank you soo much)

As for classes, do the intro there, then hold the day-long class somewhere else if you can..good idea. find out how much other space would cost and what it would take to carry your equipment, set it up, etc. or a free space for sure.

If they raise the rent too much (we've discussed what that will be), we leave. If they leave it as is, we stay. yes, right now is not the time for renogiation....except we are still open, still working on the opening pay.

With her, you work it 6 months to a year, it works out, she's good for renegotiating ~ you want maybe work out a percentage of net rather than an hourly. I dunno. she has offered a percentage on every X amount the incomefor her (from my sales) goes upPersonally, I'm not up for working for someone else yet, I've done it. not sure I am either.....however it is like working for myself in many ways....Good way to get people know what you're good atI already know that part; good way to potentially create a catering business.catering raw (as I see it right now) is not my dream nor my forte.

Just have to ask yourself.... what else you got?what else I got? to do or be u mean?

I guess I can come up with a number that I can be reasonably ok with for a short period of time until we see how it all goes?I feel like there is something in Joes book I can apply...that I AM NOT GETTING????

[Revvell]

By "what else you got?" I mean, what else do you have going that's better than this?

O.k., so, hourly pay plus commission on whatever percentage sales go up? Make it happen!

[lovenlife]

What else I got? To bust wide open on my own.

Right now I am formulating a team..a team of experts (yup one is you Rev) to assist with biz whiz. Those who KNOW their stuff. Meeting with a CPA(for 20 years) to get his money talk/advice. I am meeting with raw cafe owners to get their wisdom....gathering it all together.

Yes, see where we can land on a salary thats workable and the skies the limit after that.

Funny thing is, I see myself doing this for free I love it so much...hahaha Ummm Just a lil ol reality in this world that money is the exchange.

[Green_Woman]

I'm a wee bit confused. When you guys are talking about your checks and $1000 to your Mom here and $25k to the girls there, are we discussing Prosperity Game checks, or "real" money?

Now, in my brief experience with the Prosperity Game in January/February, what is on those checks often becomes "real" money. (For me, it was over $1,000 in unexpected, unplanned income with which I paid Rent through Summer 2010!)

But I was a little confused so thought I'd ask... :)

[lovenlife]

By "what else you got?" I mean, what else do you have going that's better than this? this is what I am looking at, which is better? To go in with her in biz or do my own raw things. I am going to list the pros and the cons and speak with my team and see which way to go.

O.k., so, hourly pay plus commission on whatever percentage sales go up? Make it happen!yes she has offered an increase when she sees the money come in. Understandably she is concerned with that part...rent, overhead, lil ol things like that hahaha.

I did some more work in Joes book yesterday too.

[lovenlife]

The chapter I love most in Joe Vitale's book is called



GIVE WITHOUT EXPECTATION


I LOVE IT!I love this part too and YES it is my favorite, where I feel my best in giving and for me, the only way to give. I remember waaaaay back before I new better, I ind of thought you got back from that person after you had given to them.

Now I know, you simply give into the stream, feed into the giving river. The one freely watering others will be freely watered...it does happen but in a whole different way. It is so awesome!

[Revvell]

Yeah, I was confused when I first saw that too. It's PG money. It's what we would do with it if/when we have it and, as you say, it just seems to come in from unexpected places.

The $1000 to my mum was, "from the Universe" as in Prosperity Game (sorry if that was confusing).....but the $400 "from the Universe" I got the same day I gave that money away was REAL!! :D Even by giving away fake money I ended up getting real money :)

[Revvell]

Okie, dokie! Thank you for clearing that up as I'd not really read where G_W was looking. Very cool!

it was quite a few pages back....I just know it was specific to my post (unless someone else gave their mom $1000). just thought that's how it was "supposed" to be worded is all. :o

[Conscious Midwife]

Used my $500 check to purchase some new to me home furnishing and to give my mother a gift card for a little shopping.

[Green_Woman]

I spent my $4,000 helping a really all-around decent guy who happens to be my neighbor and friend.

Real Life: Landlord is threatening him with eviction for highly unfounded reasons. (Landlord has been going bezerk lately.... not focusing on it, so won't get into details here.)

Prosperity Game: Neighbor's rent is paid in full for 6 months and he's playing the PG with me now and getting a hang of living the Law of Attraction for the GOOD in his life, instead of the old patterns...!!!

[freshlight]

Dear Rev, thank you so much for opening this thread and then posting the link to Joe Vitale's book! My son has now also heard all about Joe Vitale and his books (I ordered some on Amazon) and today he asked me: "How did you actually find him?" I told him it was you who pointed me in that direction. "Wow, you should be so grateful to her, Mummy!"
And he is absolutely right,- I am and I always will be.
Thank you so much!

As I am toooooo Thankx Rev.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Revvell]

You're welcome you two. :)

[lovenlife]

Hi Rev....so I met with my CPA Landlord...he was so kind to offer biz advice.

He said it is definitely a good thing to get into the raw biz here. He said to get my offer together and present it to her...a waaaaay bigger than I had thought...hmmmm Whole lotta stuff goes on around THAT one.

I inquired about going on my own biz. He said (seemed conditioned) that it is hard, it is expensive, it is a continual process of looking for work, and "in this economy". Also he mentioned the words "stability" as well as a regualr steady income (he wants his rent hahaha)
On n on the usual conversations people have going on. So that part didnt feel good to me and felt limited and I wasnt seeing it. However it did scare me and feed into a bit of what I had going on.

Hmmm what say you? Maybe I asked the wrong person(landlord).funny how we think the people in this high society town really have the money thing figured out....eeeek....so what do you think about this? thnkx n lv,Bette

[Revvell]

I think you need to build your community there until you can do it on your own.

[lovenlife]

I personally am in deep gratitude to you Rev for all you help here and cheer people on in what they are up to in life.

I am sure you have a whole lot of other things to do in a day but you still come here to help!

Also for assisting me personally where I am in this new career change. Helping me to get clear by giving me questions to ask myself as well as ideas for gettin her done!

I appreciate you and I wanted you to know. Lv,Bette

Ok thank you! It might be a bridge huh? I am seeing it as a bridge cuz the leapin stuff makes me feel all woozy...hahaha

[somelikeitraw]

Bumping this awesome thread!

[lovenlife]

Oh thankx for BUMPIN!

I am seeing the bridge now (long as I dont fall over the rail..hahhaah)!
Things are going along nicely. Some big stuff in the works!

Prosperity..a funny word. We have it that it means money?
Who knew it meant LOVE?

I have simply been loving people with raw food, teaching them how I do it, showing them how they can do it and woweeeeee.

Boxes of raw food has arrived from across the country. Gift certs have shown up, things have come from all directions.

Prosperity and abundance are everywhere if you simply open to it!

[Revvell]

We have it that it means money?


Some do, I guess yet, it means so many other things in our world ~ including love. Love that you got that. :)

[lovenlife]

Me too Rev! Think part of that came from the Joe show! Thanx again....

[lovenlife]

I am still appreciating Joes book.

[Revvell]

What does prosperity/abundance mean to you?

Since moving to Altadena, I'm finding so much richness in my life ~

First, having married someone I am feeling more and more love for every day;
Then, finding the Coffee Gallery (http://bit.ly/aYZgEL) where we got at least 3 evenings a week for the sing-alongs and, open mic night which we just began streaming live and recording;
New friends
A place that is really a "community"...
Just getting up in the morning and looking out over my computer at the mountains;
How we have fairly easy access to the mountains, beach and desert...
The libraries here are open most every day ...
I can walk to the little organic grocery store up the street for fresh greens
I'm where one of the CSA's drops a box at my door..
HUGE backyard for my garden and where I can teach my classes...
Good size sunroom that serves as my gym
Our beautiful home..
The beauty that surrounds us
The love within...

... and that's just the beginning
