The Power of Gratitude

As I write this, the whole world is in the middle of a pandemic. It feels like everything is going wrong. The news is very negative, there's so much fighting about who's right and who's wrong, and no one seems to know what to do. Most of us are sheltering at home in order to stay safe and healthy.

In March, the Governor of my state, ordered all nonessential businesses to close, and that included mine. Which, of course, meant no income.

My first thoughts were filled with panic and fear, even though I know the power of our thoughts, I still felt very afraid. My shop has appeared to be my only source of income for the past 40 years. What would I do? How was I going to pay my bills, buy food, and survive?

Knowing that my thoughts and feelings are creating my future, and knowing that I was not wanting what I was thinking and feeling to create my future, I decided to practice what I teach, what I truly believe.

To stay focused each day on what I DO want, to count my blessings, to find the good, and to look for things to be happy about.

I woke up on April 1st feeling a lot of panic, fear, and anxiety as I realized I did not have the money to pay my rent at the shop.  Instead of focusing on that negative "fact", I decided to search on my phone for some good news. 

The first story that came up was about a man in New York, that had just told all of his tenants, "no rent due for April", for them to take care of themselves and their families, not to worry about the rent.

I suddenly felt such gratitude and thankfulness for this man, for the gift he was giving them, and for his generosity, that I felt compelled to send him a thank you card and say so. I expressed to him how much I appreciated what he had given them, a month of not having to worry about the rent, but also the gift he had given me. The knowing that there are people in the world that are loving, kind, and generous. I cried tears of gratitude as I wrote the card.

I looked up his address, put a stamp on it, and took it to the post office  wearing my mask and gloves.

Later that day, as I told my Sweetie about it, I felt all the gratitude and thankfulness again, and again began to cry. Every time I thought about it, I felt gratitude for this man's generosity.

On April 30th, I realized I still did not have the money to pay my own rent, and another month would be due the next day. When I suddenly received a call from my landlord. We talked for awhile, about everything going on in the world, when he suddenly said to me, " I am waiving your April rent, and possibly May's rent also". 

I instantly started crying as I felt all the gratitude and thankfulness for the gift my landlord was giving me. He had given me the very thing I had been feeling so much gratitude for. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

I am so happy and grateful that my rent is paid in full.

Gratitude is a powerful, positive emotion, and we are constantly creating our future with our thoughts and emotions.

Look for all the things you can truly be thankful for.

Here's to your Lucky Life!

White Christmas and a Lucky Life

While watching one of my favorite holiday movies, White Christmas, a couple weeks ago, I realized just how many law of attraction secrets, and secrets for a lucky life were in it, so I thought I would share them with you.

The film starts off with Phil (Danny Kaye), and Bob (Bing Crosby), practicing one of the biggest law of attraction secrets there is, finding a way to feel good now by singing, dancing, and entertaining their fellow army soldiers right in the middle of a war.

 

Phil, asking for what he wants when he asks Bob to perform the song he's written in his act, and to let him be the other half of the duo. 

 

Phil, knowing what he wants when he is asking Bob to get married, have 9 kids, and spend 5 minutes with each one so he could have 45 minutes all to himself.

 

Bob, having the belief, faith, and the expectation, that the right girl will come along someday.

Judy (Vera Ellen), also knows what she wants and asks for it when she writes Bob asking him to come see the show.  

Bob's advice to Judy about the show is to "keep plugging away at it", in other words, stay committed and do all you can do.

 

Bob takes inspired action, and gives freely with no strings attached, when he brings his whole act to the inn, and then again when he invites his fellow army buddies to come and spend Christmas at the inn to surprise and support their former General.

 

Bob practicing gratitude when he tells Betty (Rosemary Clooney), to "count your blessings instead of sheep".

In my opinion, the whole movie is about feeling good now. Singing, dancing, and taking inspired action, and if you've seen the movie you know they get exactly what they desire.

 

Wishing you and yours a very happy holiday, and a lucky life.

 

Until next time.
 

Love and Luck,

It's Law of Attraction for Your Lucky Life!

Whatever you want, give it away.

 

Is there something in your life that you want? 

Well here's my lucky secret for having it. Give it away. 

How can you give away something you want but feel you don't have? You can't.

In other words, I believe you can't give away, what you don't own. 

Totally confused? Hear me out.

I believe that if we can give to someone else, the very thing we want, we own it.  It's ours.  

After all, how can you give away anything if you don't already own it?

I know it sounds confusing and contradictory but think about it.  

Let's talk money, for an example, it's the easiest.

I believe this is the reason that the tithing principle works so well for people who want money and prosperity.  When they can start giving money away, whether it be 10%, (as in tithing), 5%, 1%, or even $1. a day, a week, or every month, it begins activating their vibration of having money.  They begin to realize, no matter how small their income or flow is, they have money coming in.  As the money comes in, they give, or flow back out, whatever percentage makes them feel prosperous.  As they regularly activate this feeling of prosperity, they suddenly find themselves receiving more.  

I call it "priming the pump".

In the early days before indoor plumbing, most people had a water pump that pumped up the water from their well. In order to get the flow going, they had to save a certain amount of water to put in the top of the pump in order to create a vacuum to draw more water up from the well. If you didn't put water in, you didn't get any out.


If you can give it away, you already have it. 
 
I believe the reason this works is because we are noticing that we own it, in some way, big or small, we can acknowledge that we already have it, it is ours to have or to give, and the more we acknowledge and be thankful for what we do have, that trusty law of attraction keeps giving us more of what we are focusing on and the feelings we are vibrating.

I believe this works in any area of life, health, wealth, happiness or love.  

Take stock of where you already own it, appreciate what you do have, be thankful for it, and then start sharing it, start giving some of that away.

I believe you will soon find, you have even more to give. It's yours! You own it!

Love and Luck,
Lucky Lady
