When it all goes "Wrong" - Law of Attraction First Aid!

Have you ever felt like it was all going wrong? I mean, you're doing your best, at all times, to tend to your vibration and suddenly it's like a deluge of things going wrong. 

I just spent a couple of weeks that rank right up there in the top worst weeks of my life, for things going wrong, definitely not the way I had intended. In fact, I don't think I have ever experienced so many things going wrong, all at the same time. 

Knowing that what we give our focus and attention to, and the way we are feeling in this moment, affects our vibration, and what we are vibrating is what we are attracting more of, what's a law of attraction savvy gal supposed to do?

I thought I would offer up some of my Emergency Law of Attraction First Aid tips. 

These are the things I did in order to "soothe my vibration" as Abraham says, and to shift to a better feeling place. 

Keep in mind that you don't have to make a huge shift, but simply finding a little feeling of relief, or peace, is a shift in the right direction, and then you can go from there.

So here goes.

Find the best feeling thought you can about the situation. This could be as simple as, "it could be worse", "I've survived worse things than this", "this too, shall pass", "every cloud has a silver lining", etc.  Any thought that makes you feel even slightly better is an improvement.

Stay in the present moment.  This keeps you from speculating or imagining how much worse it might or could get. Just do right now.

Take whatever action or actions you can take.

Use the Pivoting exercise...I know what I don't want, so what do I want? Make a list of what you want, and why you want it. 

Do as many things as you can that bring you joy and do them with the awareness that you are doing them for this reason. These can be big or small and don't have to cost much.

• go for a walk, a run, or a bike ride
• a nice cup of coffee, tea, or your favorite beverage
• listening to music
• playing with your child or pet
• watching a movie or show that's funny or uplifting
• watch Abraham videos
• listen to your favorite meditation

For me it was anything from taking a five minute break from mopping sewage to sit down, relax, and enjoy a tasty pumpkin flavored coffee, to listening to Christmas music, or a short walk in the sunshine. 

Ask for help.  This can be from family and friends, your Angels, Spirit Guides, and Fairies, your local spiritual center or church, a coach, or even a stranger.

As often as possible, take a few moments throughout the day to just lightly ponder or imagine, the positive outcome you'd like to see, and how you would feel and react if it turned out that way. 

Hold the thought that in every moment there are hundreds of possibilities that can occur. Things we could never imagine. Miracles happen every day.

Make a list of all the things that are going "right" and give thanks for those.

And one of the biggest tips I can offer is self love. 

• Stay hydrated and drink plenty of water
• Do your best to get enough sleep (I know this can be difficult when you're lying awake all night gripped by fear, or in pain) 
• Eat things that make you feel good
• Soak in the tub
• Get a massage or reiki if possible
• Forgive yourself for any "mistakes, bad judgement, etc."
• Forgive others and let it go
• Treat yourself to something special just for you
• Go ahead and have a good cry
  

Last but not least..Keep the faith. Trust that all is really going to turn out well.  That in this moment you are Okay.

Until next time, here's to your abundant and prosperous, Lucky Life!

Rampage of Money

Woke up this morning and instantly started writing a "rampage of appreciation", as Abraham calls it, about Money and Abundance.

It felt so good, I decided to share it.

I really love that I have the ability to manifest money, anytime, anywhere. That thought feels really good.

I love the fact that I manifest money or some sort of abundance every day. Whether it's a coin that I find, free concert tickets, or free trips.

I love that I find money everywhere, including pennies, dimes, quarters, and dollars!

I love that I have the possibility to manifest large amounts of money, out of the blue, and I have. It feels wonderful!

I love the relief I felt when I manifested "payment in full" without having the cash in hand. What a relief!

I love the feeling of joy and fun, when I receive unexpected checks in the mail, and deposits in my account. So much fun!

I love the feeling of being prosperous and blessed when people give me money, no matter whether it's $1 or hundreds. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I love manifesting money while decluttering and clearing out what I no longer need.  I feel so light and free.

I love it when easy money shows up! Woohoo!!

I love the fact that I have manifested my mortgage payment every month and soon my home will be paid in full. 

I love the thought, according to Abraham, that I have over 200 possibilities in every moment. Gives me chills.

I love how abundant and prosperous I truly am, and how good that feels.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Until next time, here's to your abundant and prosperous, Lucky Life!

Another Chance to Practice

A few weeks ago, I wrote an article called control your reactions and increase your luck and this past week I had another chance to practice it.

I really love learning and studying the Law of Attraction and I will be the first to admit I am not always manifesting exactly what I want, but I choose to use these tools every day and practice what I teach.

Back to my story.

Last weekend I had several domain names that were set to renew and I made a note in my checkbook to deduct the amount, which was somewhere around $65.

All was well.

Then on Monday morning I received several email notifications that all my domains had failed to renew, and the price they were attempting to charge me was about three times what I had counted on.

My first reaction before learning this LOA secret of controlling our reactions would have been to panic, (OMG, right?), but I deliberately remained calm, read all of the emails in detail to find out why, before deciding how to react.

After some investigating, I discovered not only were they attempting to bill an expired card, they were charging me for optional extras I didn't need, and billing for two years instead of one.

So, what looked like bad news (Your domain names have failed to renew), was actually good news because I ended up getting all of my domain names renewed for less than I had written in my checkbook. 

What if everything that appeared to be bad news, was really just the Universe working out something good?

What if, what appears to be going wrong may actually be working out in your favor?

If you can control your reaction and trust all is well, you just may find you have increased your luck. If not in this moment, you will be pre-paving, as Abraham says, your future experiences. 

Until next time, here's to your lucky life!

Increase Your Luck - Stop Doing and Start Dreaming

Have you ever felt like you just don't know what else to do? 

You've done everything you could think of, you've planned, you've hustled, you've taken action, followed up on all possibilities, and now, if you just knew what to do next, you would do it, but that's just it, what do you do next?

If you've been there, and we all have, this can very frustrating. Especially when we are taking action out of the need to have something happen.

We also know that when we are taking action while feeling need and frustration, we are only attracting more situations to feel need and frustration.

So what's a gal to do?  Stop! Stop taking action out of need and frustration. 

Stop doing and start dreaming.

I believe it was new thought minister Raymond Charles Barker that said, "There is never anything to do, only something to know".

And Abraham says, "It's not your work to make anything happen. It's your work to dream it and let it happen. Law of Attraction will make it happen".

Neville says, "What should be done between the assumption of the wish fulfilled and it's realization? NOTHING. It is a delusion that, other than assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled, you can do anything to aid the realization of your desire".

So what is a gal to do?  Go back to the beginning. The moment when creation really begins.  Stop doing and start dreaming.

Know what you want/desire.

Know how you desire to feel.

Take a few minutes at least once a day, more often if that feels good, and imagine yourself having, being, and feeling as if your dream/desire already is.

Assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled. Then go about your day doing whatever feels right to do, while knowing your dream or desire is "in the works". 

If it is true that Imagining Creates Reality, then the only thing for you to do, is imagine it, dream it.

Want to Increase your luck? Stop doing and start dreaming.

Until next time,

Here's to your Lucky Life,

Beating the Drum

If you've read my blog for very long, by now you surely realize I love going to concerts. Yes!  I love it!

Earlier this week I had a really fun time attending a Seun Kuti and Egypt 80 concert. Seun Kuti is the son of legendary Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti, and Egypt 80 is Fela Kuti's former band.

It was definitely one of my ideal concert experiences and made me realize I am getting really practiced at beating the drum of my "ideal concert experience".

I arrived at the venue about ten minutes before showtime, found free parking within the block, picked up my front row center tickets, which cost me only $25, (the only thing better than $25 front row center seats is free, front row center seats), and still had a few minutes to spare before the show started.   

So my Sweetie and I stroll up to the merchandise table and as we are looking at the LPs, the man behind the table offers to take us backstage to meet Seun Kuti,and get an autograph after the show.

So we enjoyed a fabulous, very high energy concert, then we were escorted backstage to meet them. How does it get better than that? I loved the fact we didn't have to ask. 

Seun Kuti and Lucky Lady

People tell me I'm just lucky.  

While I admit that I do feel lucky, it's really that I have practiced beating the drum of my ideal concert experience.  I set my intentions to have a great time, enjoy a wonderful concert, get to meet the performers, get autographs, take home a special souvenir like a setlist, guitar pick or drumstick, and for it all to be easy and fun. 

My autographed concert poster.

As Abraham says, I beat the drum!  I talk about it to my friends, I blog about it, I keep a scrapbook of all my tickets, photos, and souvenirs. 

The truth is we are always beating the drum of something, wanted or not wanted, so why not make sure it is something you want to manifest. 

Love and Luck,
Lucky Lady

Feeling Overwhelmed?

Have you ever had one those days where you feel totally overwhelmed?

Maybe it was one of those weeks?  You know the kind. When you have your to do list, and/or your goals all lined up, you're taking action, and nothing goes according to plan?

I have and it definitely doesn't feel good. 

So I thought I would share with you ten things I did that helped to shift my vibration out of overwhelment.

Here's how Abraham defines it and just reading this definition began the shift for me.

"Overwhelment: The state of simultaneously focusing upon what you want and your inability to achieve it at the same time."

Ask and It Is Given

1. First, I wrote out everything I was believing about why I thought I was unable to achieve what I wanted. This brought up some old hidden beliefs and I decided to change those, right then and there.
2. Then I did some EFT tapping to clear out the feeling of overwhelment and the negative feelings that accompanied the old beliefs. 
3. I got quiet and did some meditation.
4. I asked some questions like:What would it take to change this?  Where am I refusing or disallowing other possibilities? What if it all works out? What if it turns out better than I can imagine? What if the entire Universe wants to support me?
5. I called on the Angels and my Spirit guides to assist in whatever way was best.
6. I playfully practiced "Wouldn't it be nice if...?"
7. I scripted it all out as if it had already happened and how wonderful that felt.
8. I read my daily list of all the lucky things that had happened this past week and affirmed "I live an amazing, miraculous, lucky life". I expect good things and I receive them." "I was born lucky!".
9. Surrendered it all over to the Universe in Faith.
10. Decided to "act as if" it was all a done deal.      

Wow, that worked for me, I am feeling good now. I feel like I really was born Lucky!

What do you do to shift when you feel overwhelmed?  I would love to know. 
Feel free to share what works for you.

Love and Luck,
Lucky Lady

I'm Living My Dream

Most nights whenever I get into bed, I pull out my notebook and write down my successes, any synchronicities, good news, signs, miracles, or something I am thankful for that day, before going to sleep. 

One night this past week, as I sat on my bed, notebook in hand, I began thinking how thankful I was to own my own business, be my own boss, have a wonderful relationship, and have a home to call my own.

When I suddenly realized, I am living my dreams. My dreams of 15 years ago!

Fifteen years ago, I was at an all time low.  

I had moved out of my home of 20 years, in a hurry, taking only whatever would fit into my car.  I spent six weeks basically living in my car, some nights sleeping over at family and friend's houses or staying at motels whenever I had any extra cash.  A drunk driver without insurance had crashed through the front of my business, and sales were at an all time low. Trying to extricate myself from a miserable, abusive marriage, needless to say, I was very depressed.

One night when I was seriously contemplating checking out of this game called life, I was standing idly in a bookstore, when a book fell off of a shelf and landed on my foot.  I picked it up, noticed the title, "You Can Heal Your Life", and said to no one in particular, "yeah right", and placed it back on the shelf.

As I stood there, I suddenly began to wonder, just how had that book had fallen off the shelf? Feeling curious, I reached up and pulled it out to take another look.

Opening it up to a random page, or so I thought, I will always remember what I read in that moment.

  "Your thoughts and beliefs of the past have created this moment, and all of the moments up to this moment.  What you are now choosing to believe and think and say will create the next moment and the next day and the next month and the next year...You are the power in your world! You get to have whatever you choose to think! This moment begins the new process.  Each moment is a new beginning, and this moment is a new beginning for you right here and right now!"

You Can Heal Your Life - by Louise Hay

And it was.  I bought that book and began to heal my life.  I began to change my thoughts and beliefs and set new goals.  Contrast does bring Clarity!

• I wanted a home of my own.
• I wanted to be a better supportive, loving mother
• I wanted a healthy loving relationship with a wonderful man.
• I wanted a successful, prosperous business. 

I did not know anything about the Law of Attraction, nor had I learned the processes and tools for deliberate creation, and it didn't happen overnight.
I wish I had known then, what I know now.

But it DID happen. Some things quickly, some more slowly.

Of course, whenever we achieve a goal, there is always a new goal.  We are ever expanding. As Abraham says, "We never get it done".

As I sat there on my bed and realized that I am now living the life of my dreams, of fifteen years ago, it gave me chills because I know that the dreams I hold for my future, are also in the process of coming true. What a feeling!

Take a look at your life.  What dreams have come true for you?
What dreams do you want to come true? 

As Louise Hay said, "You are the power in your world! You get to have whatever you choose to think!"

I agree.  

Love and Luck,
Lucky Lady

Christmas in July

Christmas in July.

I had heard the phrase before and just thought it was an excuse for a summer sale at various retail shops.

But this past week, when I turned on my cable TV music channel, looking for some music to listen to, out of curiosity I check out 'sounds of the season' and discover they are celebrating Christmas in July. 

I did not know that celebrating Christmas in July is actually a tradition in the southern hemisphere, (Australia, South Africa, etc), because of the desire to celebrate Christmas and enjoy some traditional holiday celebrations during their cold, snowy season.  

If you've read my post on How I Won a Trip to Las Vegas , you'll know I love Christmas music. It's my favorite part of the holiday season and I have numerous records, cassettes, and CD's to prove it. Although I usually only listen to them in November and December.

Anyway, this past Sunday, after a three mile run in the misty rain, which felt wonderful, while sitting on the floor cross legged, enjoying my breakfast of wheat flakes and fresh sliced strawberries, out of a Christmas bowl, while listening to Christmas music on the tv, I was aware of feeling really happy, of feeling good now.

And that's the key.  Find ways to feel good now. 

"You cannot have a happy ending to an unhappy journey." 

Abraham 

On our journey from where we are now to where we want to be, one of our primary goals is to find ways to feel good now. 
 
This means not waiting until we have the relationship, the body, the home, or the job we desire before we can feel good.

What we are feeling now, is an indication of how we will feel then.  
 
Feeling good is personal.  Everyone is different. What makes one person feel good, can make another miserable.

Maybe running in the rain and celebrating Christmas in July, is not your idea of a good time.  

What is?  It's your choice, and so is feeling good.  We can choose to find ways of feeling good in every moment no matter what is going on around us.

Feeling good creates more experiences of feeling good.

If you are celebrating Christmas in July, I wish you a very Merry Christmas! 

Love and Luck,
Lucky Lady

Am I a Loser?

Have you ever known what you wanted, set your intention, gotten into alignment, been feeling like it's a done deal, and then nothing turned out like you wanted?

Well, that happened to me last week.   

It all started a couple months ago when I heard the announcement that Elton John was coming to a town near me.  I instantly wanted to go.  

Elton John studio album released April 1970

 

 

 

If you've been following my blog, you must realize by now, I love, love, love a good concert.

I have had some really wonderful experiences, such as the Steve Miller Band concert, been backstage to meet Bobby Caldwell, went on board the New Riders tour bus, got to attend the Willie Nelson concert for free, just to name a few.

So, I set my intentions, that I wanted to go, I wanted it to be easy, fun, and affordable.  Of course the local radio station started giving away free tickets but you had to listen between 6 and 10 am.  Getting up at 6 am did not feel like inspired action to me but I did listen from around 8 to 10.  Each time I heard the cue, I dialed, but all I got was the busy signal every day, all the way to Friday which was the last day they were giving away tickets.  I didn't let that shift me out of my alignment.  I just kept thinking, lots can happen. 

On Saturday afternoon, they suddenly announced out of the blue, the 10th caller would win tickets.  Wow, another opportunity just for me.  I started dialing.  Nothing, zero, zip, busy, busy, busy.  

I could just see myself on the front row, watching Elton John play the piano, feeling the vibration of the music, feel my Sweetie's hand in mine as we listened to "Your Song".  There was still three more days before the show, the Universe had plenty of time.

I  decided on Monday I would check the status of available tickets on Ticketmaster.  Unless I wanted to be behind the stage, (a lot different than being backstage), which I did not, or if I wanted to pay a princely sum to be in the nosebleed section, which I did not, it did not look promising. Once again, I chose to remember what I wanted and how it would feel, and trust it would happen. That felt good.

On Monday afternoon, the radio announced that Tuesday morning if you were the 10th caller when you heard two Elton John songs back to back, you would win FRONT ROW SEATS.  I was totally thrilled.  This was it.  The Universe was going to give me exactly what I wanted.  It was a good thing I had gotten the busy signal before. See, it was all working out perfectly.

Once again, I decided not to get up at 6 am. Instead, I felt that I should just tune in whenever I woke up and it would be the right time.  

On Tuesday morning, I turned on my radio somewhere around 9 am, just in time to hear the announcer say be the 10th caller for Elton John tickets.  I started dialing.  Busy again.  The DJ announced the winner. It was A. Miller.  Sound familiar?  A. Miller, the same, the one and only, the guy that won the Las Vegas Trip!

I turned off my radio. As I stood there I wondered. Was the Universe having a laugh at my expense?  This was just too "coincidental" to be a coincidence.  I decided right then and there, the Universe was giving me a sign that I would be seeing Elton John, up close and personal. Just keep the faith.  I decided to go on about my usual morning routine. Setting my intentions for the day, writing in my journal, saying some feel good affirmations, and visualizing before getting ready for the day.

When suddenly I had the urge to turn the radio back on.  The last few notes of Elton John's "Your Song" were fading away, and "Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting", came on.  There it was!  The two Elton John songs back to back!  I hadn't missed out on those front row seats after all.  I started dialing, I knew this was it.  

Busy, busy, busy.  The DJ announced, "Kathy, has just won front row seats to see Elton John."  

I couldn't believe it. I didn't win?  Kathy? My name is Kathleen and I have been called Kathy plenty of times. What? First A. Miller, now Kathy?

I must admit for the first few minutes I allowed myself to feel totally disappointed. How could this be? Was I fooling myself about being in alignment? It didn't feel like it.  I was feeling good, but I hadn't won.

Now I could have chosen to be upset, to feel like a loser, declare that life is unfair, the odds are against me, it's all rigged, why did I bother, to feel cheated, make this my new story, etc.

But I am a powerful, deliberate, creator.  I know that in every moment I am either attracting what I want, or pushing it away. 

Here is what Abraham says:

"Deliberate creation is about finding a way to look at what is in a way that pleases you.  It's finding a way to emotionally feel different than your current circumstances seem to dictate."

So, did I lose? Not at all. I choose to believe I am a winner.  I choose to celebrate how close I have gotten so far, and to believe there is another wonderful, magical, concert experience on it's way to me, even now. That it doesn't always show up exactly when we want it to, but it will show up as long as I stay in alignment. That is the Law. I choose to keep the faith and know the Universe knows how to deliver and when to deliver.

When I look at it this way, it pleases me.  It feels good now.  Woohoo!

Love and luck,
Lucky Lady

How Fast Can the Universe Deliver?

There is a national sandwich chain that claims their delivery is Freaky Fast. 
I won't name any names here but I'm sure you know to whom I am referring, and yes, I have tried them, and yes, they delivered my sub pretty Freaky Fast!  8 whole minutes after I hit the place order button on my laptop, I was sitting at my desk unwrapping my freshly made sandwich in amazement. That's Freaky Fast if you ask me!

Now I am asking, how fast can the UNIVERSE deliver?

A few weeks ago, my Sweetie and I were having an evening out shopping, not something we do very often, but we had a list of things we needed to buy, so after work we headed out, and we were on our last stop, which was Target.  After finding what we came for, we stopped to browse in the DVD section. 

My Sweetie and I enjoy watching movies, especially ones that make us laugh.

While browsing, I noticed a movie that had several actors we really like, and a pretty well known director, so I asked my Sweetie if he had seen it, or heard of it.  He said, "no, he hadn't", but we both agreed it looked like it might be fun to watch.   

Seeing as we had already spent all the moolah we had intended to spend for the evening and the DVD cost $15, I wondered if perhaps our local library might have a copy. So I asked my Sweetie, "Why don't you go to the library tomorrow and see if they have it? That way, we can just check it out and watch it for free."  He said, "OK, write down the title." (It was already late in the evening and the library was closed for the day).

So I get out my phone, look it up on Amazon, and bookmark it, so I can remember the title.

We go on about our shopping, checkout, and then head home.  He drops me off at my house and about ten minutes later I get a text message from him that says,  "I am totally freaked out!"

Fearing the worst, I call him up and ask "OMG, what's wrong?"

 
When he had arrived home, in his mailbox was a letter from the library notifying him that his DVD was on hold for him and was available for him to pick up. The very DVD we had just looked at, and hadn't even known existed before going into Target.

He was so freaked out that he said, "How did they put it on hold?  I never knew this movie existed?  I never called there or went there, this just came in my mail! I am definitely going there tomorrow to find out how this happened!"

I just laughed and answered, "I love it!  I know exactly how it happened, we asked, and the Universe delivered!"

I don't know about you, but that's the way I like my desires to manifest, FREAKY FAST.

Sometimes it seems like the Universe takes forever, so why did this manifest so fast?

Here's my thoughts on the matter.

• First of all, we just had a clear desire to see it.  We figured it would be fun and make us laugh. (We knew what we wanted and why we wanted it.)

• We focused a little attention on it.  (I'd say about three minutes worth, Abraham suggests 68 seconds)

• We decided and intended to see it.

• We decided on our inspired action step to take. (Check at the library the next morning to see if they had it)

• Then, we just let it go and went on about our shopping, trusting and believing we would, never giving it another thought. (We turned it over to the Universe without even realizing it)

So how fast can the Universe deliver? I call that Freaky Fast!

Until next time,

Lucky Lady
