Little story: At the I Can Do It! conference they were selling USB wristbands that had the audio recordings of all of the lectures and workshops. After listening to Wayne Dyer and Marianne Williamson, I knew that I wanted this usb in order to be able to re-listen and to share the experience with others. So, I deci...ded to order one! Being a student, $130 is a chunk out of the bank account, but I affirmed that this money would come to me- that the Universe would take care of it, that the cost was covered. I didn't know how, I just knew that it would be okay that I was making this purchase...... Yesterday I got my income tax back, and it was more than I had anticipated!! $130 more!!! YAY Thank you to the Universe!!!!

Goddess that can help with Abundance---Lakshmi (who is depicted in this painting)...the following is an excerpt from Kathleen Peterson's book "We are here for You"... from Lakshmi..
"It is time to spread your wings and fly! It is time to allow yourself to know how much your efforts contribute to the over all growth of your earth plane. It is time to reward yourself for all you do. It is time to allow Spirit to give to you. I send you blessings of love, joy, and prosperity. Ask for our help and lighten your load, knowing that the prosperity you desire will untimately help everyone."See More

There is a lot going on in the World this year. Last night the world was met with the news that Osama Bin Laden was killed. I seen a lot of people rejoicing on facebook and I wasn't entirely sure how to take this. It's a bit unsettling, to be so happy about the death of another person, no matter what they have done. Then, I think maybe it is because I was not personally effected by the events of 9/11....  but, it is still a bit unsettling, and maybe cocky? to be so excited....

I found two quotes that put into words what my soul is trying to say here...

"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that." ~Martin Luther King, Jr.

and from last night...

"I hope Bin Laden's death brings a sense of justice to those who lost loved ones on 9/11, and I'm grateful to those in our military etc. who worked so hard to find him. I hope whatever destructive influence he still had is now ended. That being said, however, the celebrations outside the White House seem naive to me. Tonight is a night for sober and mature reflection, not glee." - Marianne Williamson

So I can only hope that healing will occur, that the conspiracies, controversies, and apparent chaos will settle, and that new positive energy will be ushered in. The world is definately changing! I hope that we can all see and feel positive changes unfolding before us.

Peace be with YOU
