Hi I just lost my job and home, my place got robbed twice before I could move out. they stole my mailbox off my wall and mail. I have no home and have to put my things in storage at great expense. I just worked 6 nights a week and put myself through college again graduated with the dream of a better life. I have been told I am a gifted writer and need help getting published. somehow I keep trusting something good will happen in spite of everything else. I am still optimistic but uncertain Diane

WOW, A lot has occurred in your experience lately and I will not minimize your perception of these Life Circumstances.Please allow me to share a perspective from an objective point of view.
It could be understandable that if you choose to experience these situations as happening TO you, you can claim the role of "victim". Even from that place you can find gratitude. Your place did not burn down, so you still have your things. A way was made that you could store them safely while you handle immediate matters. You were not hurt in the robbery and any important mail can be replaced.
NOW, you can START from gratitude and take the viewpoint that ALL these things have occurred FOR YOU. The most important thing you CAN do is FORGIVE ALL invovled especially YOURSELF.
So many positive things will come from this as soon as you ACCEPT WHAT IS and move on.
You have just been blessed with a new perspective YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE for how you choose to experience it. You can keep your FOCUS on what you "lost" or you can CHOOSE TO SEE ALL THE POSSIBILITIES that just became available FOR YOU.
No matter what you choose you ARE loved and cared for.
Please keep me informed on how you are making out. Aaron

I AM GRATEFULL as I see others coming into recovery. For my great lessons of acceptance and forgiveness.
And especially for my growing awareness that i am recovering from the illusion of seperation. I trust that I am guided rightly and so is everyone. I take full responsibility for my reality and always remember that I have everything I need to enjoy my here and now. I welcome the opportunity that my moment by moment experiences(even if painful) offer me to become aware of the addictions I must reprogram to be liberated from my robot like emotional patterns.(thank you Ken Keyes)

I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR POWERLESSNESS. Its funny because NOW i feel more powerful than i ever have.
Letting go and getting out of my way,accepting what is and being grateful for it all, is the most liberating experience .NOT trying to control life situations is really allowing me to experience and embrace life. WOW!!!!!

Dr. Emotto (Hidden Messages in Water) says that Gratefulness is an even HIGHER vibration than Love...I have begun to live in a state of Gratefullness and I AM blest....ps. it is not always easy, a conscious effort, at times, is required...Joan
