I woke up in the middle of the night with a realization about the reason I haven't been posting here or anywhere else much lately. I thought that it was procrastination because of my tendency toward perfectionism. But that is only the surface of it. The real reason behind my inaction is that I have been out of alignment. I couldn't get myself to post anything because I have been too me-centered instead of being you-focused. That is going to change, no, that just changed. While I have been acting as if this is MY group, the truth is that my intention has always been for this to be YOUR community. Being in misalignment has neither served you nor me. Please accept my apologies. Now that I got that off my chest, how can I be of service to you? What kind of content would you like to see?

On July 19, 2013, I lost my wallet. Well, I didn’t exactly lose it, but… I went to the Flying J truck stop on I-45 and Richey Road in north Houston to answer nature’s call. As I sat down on the stool, my wallet fell out of my pocket. I picked it up and laid it on top of the toilet paper holder and promptly forgot about it. I was in Sugar Land, TX, some forty miles away when I needed to pay for something, and that’s when I realized that I never picked up my wallet off the toilet paper holder. The first thought that crossed my mind was something I had learned from my mentor and prosperity coach, Marilyn Jennet. She had quoted Florence Schinn as having said, “There is no loss in divine mind.” I called the truck stop, but my wallet was nowhere in sight. I thought about the Murphy quote and let it go. I promptly called and canceled all my cards – both of them. I didn’t have a ton of money in my wallet, just some personal belongings and business receipts. As time went on, I replaced the cards and bought a new wallet, something I needed to do before I lost my old one. As they say, life goes on. And mine was going along just fine, with all its ups and downs and personal challenges and triumphs, when, on December 26, 2013, out of the blue, I got a phone call from a number that I didn’t recognize. I normally don’t answer those calls. (I figure if the caller had a real reason to call me, they would leave me a message). But for some reason, I answered the phone. It turned out that the caller had my wallet at the gas station where he worked and had it for several months. He was cleaning out a drawer when he came across it again and went through the contents and found my business card with my phone number on it. He told me that he was at the corner of I-45 and Parker Road, ten miles from where I had “lost” it. I picked up the wallet later on that evening on my way to Sugar Land to see my brother, who was on his death bed with his third battle with cancer. Nothing was missing, not even the cash. I remembered my initial thought, “There is no loss in Divine Mind.”

Have you ever had a lucid dream? That's when you're dreaming and you know that you're dreaming. I had one of those last night. In my dream I was trying to figure out what the dream was telling me and then I remembered that I had this dream before and I didn't know what it meant then either. So here I am pondering what was the dream trying to tell me While I don't remember all the details, I remember bits and pieces of it It had something to do with Alaska and raising the prices by 10% and somehow raising the prices made it difficult to be more profitable And I was trying to figure out in my dream, how is that even possible? In case you don't know me, I am a numbers nerd. If I figure out what it meant, I'll add a comment and let you know about it. And if you're into dreams and dream interpretations and that sort of thing, maybe you can tell me what it possibly could mean, or give me some hints on how to look at it. On an unrelated note, some people say that the life on Earth is like a dream, and the enlightened beings are the ones who recognized it as a lucid dream. What are your thoughts on the matter? Please share it in the comments https://youtu.be/ELP_U55QrZ8?si=BfkHjkVgZvdaMSOE PS: Kenny Nolan said he, dreamed this song.

How would you answer that question? How important is what you do is to you? How attached are you you to what you do to earn a living? Would you rather make less money doing what you do because of the prestige or make more money doing something else that is not considered prestigious? I am curious.
