When we are at a place in our lives that enables us to make changes it is important to be thoughtful.  Many who are unemployed stay that way to get the benefits.  Some have no idea how to manifest work.  Others are ill equipped to do anything but what they were doing.

I am fortunate that as an entrepreneur and a person of faith that I know doors will open. I know that opportunites will come and I know that the flow of abundance will keep streaming to me.  One of the things that helps is I have simple needs and very small wants.  I am very content with the basics.  The oils have helped me in nurturing this approach to life.

I use Live With Passion, Magnify Your Purpose, and Highest Potential to keep the flame burning.

Three events today that have made me aware of my faith quotient.

I watched a great WW11 movie, Rossenstrasse.  It is  based on a true story.  It caused me to inspect my faith.

The second event today was a phone call giving me extra work tomorrow after today’s client had canceled!!!  (Being self-employed requires faith.)  The third event was getting a bill that was due and it was $400 less than I thought it would be.

May I remember these memorials when I am wanting to go into excessive financial planning.

I don’t normally post on the weekend but there is something I want to share.  I am on a working vacation and my control issues are really screaming.

The scenario:

It is almost 500 miles of nothing from our starting point to our destination. I am traveling with an older person I love very much.  I also am legally responsible for this persons medical and legal affairs if anything happens and they are unable to make their own decisions.

About 200 miles into the trip this person informs me that they had a ‘medical spell’ the day before.  As they described this spell I was stunned.  Here I was traveling with a person who probably should have flown instead of riding for 9 hours where there are no facilities.

Result:

Absolute and total anger that I wasn’t given a choice to prepare for a possible emergency.  None of the legal paper work was with me that would ensure they would recieve the proper care.

They had much discomfort during the trip and after reaching our destination.  I kept my angry silence.

Solution:

I told my hostess that she would have to be the one to cherish this person as I believed I was totally betrayed.  I believe this action shows no trust in me, no confidence in me, and no respect for me.

Real Solution:

Let it go Adina.  This anger is not adding a thing to your life.  You can tell that they feel badly.  Just accept that less than the wisest choices are made when someone is going to do what it takes to get their way.  Adina remember that you have made choices that have not been from your highest power and others have forgiven you.  Just know that peace comes in the moment.  People will do what they want and you must work with what you are given.  Love is longsuffering, kind, doesn’t seek to be right, bears all things and endures.  Adina you are bearing an ugly spirit. Let It Go

The oils Inner Child, Surrender, Present Time, and Frankincense.

Inner Child to heal all the subconscious hurts, Surrender to embrace the love of God so that I am filled with that love and can give that love, Present Time to live in the moment, and Frankincense to remember the gifts of spirit that are ours to recieve and share with all we come in contact with.

I used to have an open mind but my brains kept falling out.  Anonymous has struck again.

I am self-employed and my main business, teaching piano is slow right now.  This gives me time to build my beloved oil business and increase its profitability.  There is an immediate need to have a better cash flow so I opened my mind and took a tax course.  I totally enjoyed the course, but the reality of doing the taxes was weird.

The charges are huge.  [Could that be why this tax office is getting no customers and I am not needed?] The people are anxious, argumentative, and whine that the refund is too small.  (EIC is a built in welfare check in the tax system.  If you qualify you can get money you never paid in.)

I have always done my own taxes so I had no idea how much people paid to have so little done. The interesting thing about this experience was I went in with an ‘open mind‘ instead of going with my ‘gut’ feeling.

When I called to inquire about the class it was $100 out of my pocket.  They assured me that getting 20 hours would be no problem if they hired me and that they would pay me at least $10/hour.  I opened my mind. When I went for my appointment they made me wait 35 minutes and it wasn’t because they were busy-the lady I had the appointment with walked by me on her way to make a call and have a cigarette. I opened my mind.

I found many errors in the on line course.  I was told how clever of me to find them-I opened my mind. When I went for the employment interview I was offered $8.25.-It took me a while to decide if I wanted to work for nothing. I opened my mind.

It has been many years since I was an office worker.  I once again have learned why I am self-employed.  I am using many oils to keep balanced in this experience.

My friends that through the years have shared their ‘work war’ stories with me were instrumental in me seeing the big picture.  My ‘gut’ tells me that a supervisor that prefers to work with an 18 year old instead of a seasoned work-place employee may have a few issues of her own!  No open mind here thank you.

I did get enough hours to reimburse myself for the out-of-pocket expense for the class. I won’t need to do this lesson again.

How do you do life in relationship to committments, giving your word and following through?  An intent of doing the right thing keeps our actions in integrity with our words.

Every private citizen has a public responsibility  MYRA J DANIELS

When you add to your core value the philosophy of  “I am my brother’s keeper” you have opened a door of blessing and opportunity that will add a dimension to your life you can’t imagine.  Will it all be good?  Maybe not.  Will you know you have done the right thing, yes. 

 All parents who have set strong boundaries for their children know the strength it takes to do the right thing.  Every person who has stood when ‘all others were doing it’ knows it isn’t always comfortable to do the right thing.  Your actions affect a far reaching sphere.  

 Priorities are your soul first, you next, family, others, and community.  Those are the public responsibilities we all share.  As a famous radio personality says, “Go Do the Right Thing.”

The essential oils that help would be Valor to keep you strong, Clarity to  keep you focused and Highest Potential to remind you that you are not alone.

Spring is when you feel like whistling even with a shoe full of slush.  D. LARSON

One life skill that brings more joy, hope, and peace into our lives is our attitude.  Our attitude determines our reality.  We are the architect of our lives.  You can build with hope, humor, and vision or you can build with defeat, crisis, and anger.  All of us have reasons to be angry, unforgiving, or bitter.  When we accept the harm those dark feelings do to our emotional and physical health it becomes a necessity to change our attitude and do what is required to have the life we want.  There are so many essential oils that can help keep us on track with changing our attitude.  Idaho Balsam Fir, Release, Surrender, Hope, Joy and Transformation are just a few.
