Getting Past the Con


Yesterday I was about to post my status on MySpace and checkout my financial accounts...and made the shocking discovery that things were continuing to spiral from bad to worse this past week. My debit card was stolen and my account drained of $500. And I know now that the person who took my card is the same one who stole money from me this past weekend...which turned out to be my personal caregiver, Deborah...she just lied to my face, cheated me and stole from me...!

The drama started up again yesterday morning with phone calls to report my stolen card, no ride to work, and no money. What do I do after that????

Well, I do what I can do.... first, place my name on some healing lists and, second, do healing for myself. And after letting myself vent about it for a while, I'm ready to move on....

But what may appear to be a bad thing could actually be a good thing, a blessing...Were these events really a bad thing?

I'm glad the truth came out much sooner than later and I wasn't physically harmed in the course of being robbed. I've been relieved of what could have potentially been a far more expensive, dangerous and traumatic incident(s). A fearful, angry, and desperate person will be quick to act on his/her desperation when they give in to their belief of lack, filling themselves with visions of loss and abandonment, possibly even remembering pain from such experiences in the past.

Lesson learned? Be careful and discerning of the people you allow into your inner circle. They can either create conflict and drama and drag you down or enlighten and uplift you with joyful harmony. Choose to believe in the latter within yourself and others...like attracts like and you'll get to live in and with mutually synchronistic relationships...

The drama is over now.

Compassion and forgiveness are key now for Deborah's own sake as well as mine to heal and bring about a peaceful resolution to this abrupt end. It's not surprising that this is the path she's chosen to walk down for now...Deborah is on Social Security and her income was cut by over $250 in the past month or so, right after she moved out on her own into a new apartment.

So I wish her well and pray that she will soon return to her Christian faith...and remember to recognize and embrace the abundance and love of God that has always existed in her life.

Experience has taught me to move quickly beyond such things and letting go of them. I let myself experience the emotional pain and speak about it to release it completely from myself and replace it with peaceful harmony....heal, meditate, breathe...then it's gone....and onto healthier and happier times.

Years ago i was so highly intuitive I didn't know how to shield and separate myself from others' fears and pains. I would get thrown so off-balance to the point of illness and from what I understand, that's not so uncommon for intuitives. But I'm a born optimist and have learned to follow the Inner Voice to a T by channeling my energies into more peaceful, productive and happier endeavors.

If anyone's heard of Palau or Guam, you'll probably hear about the frequent and intense, sometimes catastrophic typhoons. So we learn to be prepared for the worst but expect the best, and appreciate the blessings of clean water, working electricity and communal support.

You learn of the ephemeral nature of superficial material things and status...

Growing up in Palau as a kid, most folks lived in wooden houses with tin roofs, outhouses, outdoor showers or communal baths. But we lived richly and abundantly from the land and ocean...I grew up never witnessing hunger or homelessness, experiencing only the loving kindness of a large, extended family.
