Always remain positive!

Okay, I know I haven’t written in awhile, but life is just hectic. I’m at a new job, so no free time there. At home I don’t get much internet time because I live with my in-laws, and on the weekends, I am usually doing something…but hopefully soon my condo in GTA will sell and I’ll be able to get my own place.

Living with my in-laws hasn’t been so bad; I’ve managed for the most part to stay positive and to adjust to their schedule. Some things are a change, like eating supper really late, when I go to bed early, or having to ask to do things, when I am used to just doing them. But with proper communication, being positive, and constantly cleaning, it hasn’t been nearly as uncomfortable as what I expected.

The other bonus, my spouse has opened his own business and has a steady stream of business, all without even advertising!

So far I think the move has been a positive thing, but in order to survive I have had to remain positive and constantly be cleaning. It is definitely harder when you don’t get any alone time to do soul reflecting, and to just think. There is always someone home. So usually before bed I’ll go up early just to read and do a bit of reflecting, or cleaning.

Even though my life is hectic, it is more important to find time to clean. This is how I find time:

I try to go running three times a week. This is my special alone time, where I can clean as I run.

I try to go to bed a half an hour earlier so I can clean and read inspirational material.

I take walks regularly with my dog and explore nature. Just looking at the beauty of all the trees and animals makes me clean and feel at peace.

I try to live in the moment and not to worry, and whenever I remember I clean.

If I find myself getting into an argument, I catch myself and start cleaning, there is no point even trying to defend yourself, or argue your point, just clean.

Well that is my life in a nutshell. I am trying hard not to have any expectations about my condo selling, and I am trying to just live in the moment and not to worry.

Well until next time,

I love you!T

The path you are meant to take

Hi.

I trust everyone has had a great weekend and is enjoying their summer. Things are progressing in my life. Slowly but surely. My other half has fallen into a home improvement business. When we relocated, he wasn’t sure whether he wanted to go back to school, work or start his own business. Well the demand here for skilled workers, trades people, and handy men is quite unbelievable.

While he was out with his parents, he ran into some people who needed painting, and renovations done to their place. They told him they weren’t able to hire a contractor to do the work as all the contractors and businesses in town are booked solid. So he said he would do the work as he was tossing around ideas of what to do anyway.

So he started painting, and redoing the floor, etc. Within a day, he had another job lined up. And a week later, he had another job lined up. All without advertising. So he is still working on the first job, with two already waiting. And imagine the results if we actually advertised!

My point is, you never know what path you are going to take. God has a plan for all of us, we can resist as much as we want, but in the end, you are going to get pushed the way that God wants you to go. My spouse thought that school was for him, but he got pushed to open his own business.

Our condo is still on the market for sale, but I have released all expectations. I am just trying to be happy and live in the moment, and to remember to clean whenever I forget. All and all our life is pretty good considering all the stresses. But it is best not to worry and just enjoy each day.

Happy cleaning!

I love youT

The Path to Love

Hi.
Sorry I haven’t written in awhile…life you know. But thanks to everyone who keeps coming back to my site.

Lately, I’ve been reading The Path to Love by Deepak Chopra. I’ve heard of him a few times in my research, so I decided to pick up his book. And am I ever glad I did. Nothing makes me feel better than to read other works of literature that emphasizes points that Dr. Hew Len and Joe Vitale and many others have reinforced.

Life is about love, period. End of story.

There is nothing else. Only love.

Love gives us the power to heal, to laugh, to be happy, and to open ourselves up to the Glory of God.

Reading Deepak’s book has really touched me, because it helps make things more real. He also believes that everything we see in this world is a reflection of what is going on inside us. So if you are having problems with your spouse, something inside yourself is saying you are not worthy to be loved, etc.

To me, this really struck a cord. My whole life I has been pushing people out of my heart. I grew up in a broken home and have just learnt that if you love someone, you are just giving them power to hurt you. But for me to cut love off, means my spirituality is also cut off. I can only love as much as I love myself and others, and can only receive that much love back.

My other half shows me time and time again, how much he loves me. I hope one day to return the favour. Bit by bit I am opening myself up a bit more. For example, the other day I got heat stroke. I ran to the bathroom and hugged the toilet feeling dizzy and nauseous. Instead of being grossed out, or leaving me, he rushed in and started wiping cold water on my forehead, and my head, etc. He knew that he needed to cool me down for me to feel better. Small things like this show how much he cares for me.

So my journey continues. I need to open my heart and let love in and clean on all these hurtful memories that are preventing me from really getting in touch with God, through love.

Until next time!

I love you!

Happy Belated Canada's Day!

Hi.
I apologize for not updating my site for awhile. For those of you in Canada, Happy Canada’s day!

This weekend I returned to my condo to clean and get it ready to put on the market. I also met with the real estate woman who will be handling our transaction. She seems extremely nice and knowledgeable. Apparently we are going to have a 10 to 15K loss on selling our place. She wanted us to be realistic and realize that we are not going to get our asking price for the place. Right now the market is soft, and because of the age of our condo, chances are slim that we’ll get what we want.

One great thing about her, she’s willing to cut her commission and stage the place for free, to help us pinch our pennies. So now I just have to clean and erase whatever memories are stuck in my head that are making my place difficult to sell.

I also am impressed with everyone who has been so nice to go out of their way for me and my spouse. He is considering going back to school, but at this point he’s not sure what direction to take. So I will continue to clean and hopefully something will work out.

Also I have found someone to car pool with, so instead of incurring the high cost of gas by myself (as I live 1hr and 15 minutes away), I now have someone to split it with.

Either way I have decided if it’s God’s will for me to stay here, he will find away to show me how to make ends meet with my condo. If it’s God’s will for me to move back to my condo, than he will also show me the way.

Until next time, thanks for reading and remember to clean!I love you
