Hurdles

Can you believe that it is week 17 of 2010 and it feels like so many things have happened in so few weeks? Wow! We thought we said goodbye to the recession blighted old year of 2009. Now there is still financial crisis and recession which continues to shock the world, the growing fiscal deficits which call for the increase dependence on the World Bank and IMF.   Many have sleepless nights over environmental risks; many mention ‘going green.’ Also there is the unpredictability of the weather leaving billions homeless and millions dead. There is ethnic strife, famines, increased civil wars, ongoing guerilla conflicts. So far this is quote an exhaustive list but far from complete, the losses of 2010 are profound. In contrast, hey, the upside is that gold has regained popularity with Central Banks across the world.

On a more local level when we visit the grocery stores we see prices increasing.  To understand the conundrum that we are in we need to take a step back and see ourselves. We would be faced with obstacles no matter what. Let us put it this way the more mountains we climb the stronger our legs become, the fitter we get and the better we feel. Do not be sidetracked, be encouraged, and be excited by ‘tough times’ because these impediments would make us be the giant we all would like to become.

Folks have a wonderful day!

Intention Attracts

On the weekend I promised my daughter that I was going to take her on the Cruise Ship on Friday afternoon. As the afternoon approached my energy was drained and I prayed that she fell asleep before I could take her. For each secret thought of mine her opened rebuttal was ‘mama I am going on the Cruise Ship.’ Of course I did not want to disappoint her. I tried to bargain with her and told her that we will go the next day; she insisted ‘no Mama we should go at four o’clock.’

We aboard the Logos Hope- Book Ship went up the ramp and sat through a presentation. When we entered the store, behold, displayed in front of me was the book “I Love You More Than Rainbows,” do you remember that post? I was captivated; the energy surrounding us almost rocked the book off the shelf into my hands.  When I first heard about the book I searched all of the local bookstores and it was not available. I went to Amazon and put it on my wish list. So on Friday, when I held it in my hand my daughter said “Mama remember it on the computer?”

Isn’t the power of intention a potent phenomenon?  I hope that the things you have on your wish list and the obstacles that may litter your path are driving forces to make the good things on your list a reality.
