When you least expect it...blessings all around!

Hi,
Since I've taken up reading, A Course in Miracles, it's helped me realize that this world isn't real. And our part is to practice forgiveness and try to come from love instead of anger or fear. Very similar to ho'oponopono which states we should be cleaning and not judging. By cleaning we are forgiving bad memories and releasing them so we can be at zero, or at peace like ACIM teaches.

Anyway I'm back to work, and while I do accounting I also listen to Joe Vitale's "I love you, I'm sorry, thank you," audio on repeat. This helps my mind clean even though my thoughts are elsewhere.

For the past month my company has owed me expenses for travelling at Christmas to help out, and over time. Money has been extremely tight for me. But all this week, I've been trying to remember that money isn't real. I give money the power it has, and I can also take that power away by realizing money doesn't mean anything.

This past week anytime I have thoughts or feel upset, I've been trying to remember it's not real and it doesn't mean anything. I am the one who gives money meaning. So even though my credit cards are maxed, and I have no money in the bank, I am responsible for this. So I have been busy cleaning and just letting go and trusting God because he provides for everything.

Well this morning I came in to work, to find an email that states my expenses will be paid tomorrow, and my overtime will be paid on Friday.

I know that money isn't real and I shouldn't put the value in it that I do, but I am grateful that it's coming my way. So thank you, thank you, thank you!

Peace begins with me

Opportunity Knocks!

Hi,

I just came back from a week's vacation. Nine days without thinking about work, it was nice. I spent the whole time cleaning, when I remembered and just living in the "now" and being happy.

I have been very blessed so far in 2009. Money is tight (but that is just a negative memory, and I am giving it power by speaking about it), but I decided to act like I am made of money. After all the universe is space which can be developed into anything.

I worked hard over Christmas, and in appreciation my boss gave me four prime Ottawa Senator tickets. We were in the 100s, which to say the very least was close enough to hear the players grunting. I have been to NHL games before, but have never sat as close as I did. Plus the Senators being the underdog, ended up beating the Washington Capitals 3 -2, so it was a great game.

I am pretty blessed and sometimes it takes a few months, or so for me to realize how lucky I am. Today I was talking to my landlord, and it made me realize how "magical" my life has been lately.

Since moving to this northern community, the windows in our apartment leak, and all kinds of cold air come in. On really cold days, you can't sleep at night because the wind is howling. While we were away, they came and took out the old windows and gave us new, sealed ones. Not only did we not have to deal with the inconvenience, but when we got back our apartment was nice and warm.

Also, while I was talking to him, he mentioned that him and his wife had resigned and the company is looking for new landlords...strange that he mentioned this. What was even stranger is normally he doesn't even talk to me.

Now I am not sure if he mentioned the job because I should apply...as sometimes it's hard to understand whether you should act on things or not...as it would be a lot less money than a currently make. But on the plus side, it would give me lots of time to research and write, which is what I truly want to do in life.

So my point is this, every day you are presented with opportunities, it's up to you to clean and decide when you are going to act on these events. If you are afraid to act, how are you expecting your life to change.

Also I wanted to thank everyone for their comments as always, but if your comment is just spam, it will not get posted.

Peace begins with me!

My new blog

Hi,
I am grateful and happy that I have discovered ho'oponopono. It has been a blessing. But I also want to explore God, and his mysteries. I have been inspired to create another blog which can be found at The Road to God, so if you are like me and feel like something is missing, please check out this blog.

Otherwise I am practicing ho'oponopono as usual. This coming week I have a week off and I am travelling to Ottawa to watch the Senators game. I ended up getting free tickets from work, and they are really good seats.

My life is blessed more and more each day, and I know I owe this to God and just cleaning all the time.

So thank you for reading and following my path, but if you're like me and you want something else, check out my other blog. I will continue to update this one as well, since the two go hand and hand.

Thank you and I hope 2009 is a great year for everyone.

Letting go of Expectations...again

Hi,
Well this past week I have been busy trying not to have expectations. Easier said than done. Work should be something you love doing, something you are passionate about. I like what I do, I just don't like where I work. So I am trying to have no expectations, with the other job I applied for, but it's hard. The place I would enjoy working is more south, and professional. I work currently in an industrial sector, and the culture is quite different. I would welcome a professional business atmosphere.

I keep picturing what my new life would be like, and if I would be happy. Perhaps I'm the kind of person where the grass is always greener on the other side...I don't know. I thought moving here would have made me happy...but now I want to move away. I need to let go and trust in God that he'll show me the way.

I have been spending my days cleaning, listening to "I love you" chant by Joe Vitale. I am not trying to sell it to you, but I think listening to some kind of mantra to help you remember to clean is a great tool. Sometimes I use it before I go to sleep, so hopefully I can do what Dr. Hew Len say, and get our minds trained to clean when we are not.

As always I love hearing feedback from people. Good, or bad, how ho'oponopono has changed you, what you do that works...anything.

Also you should always be learning and growing, so read everything you can on ho'oponopono, and use what your heart says works.

Peace begins with me,
T

Joe Vitale Zero Limit

Great resource on ho'oponopono and how to practice it.

Nothing works like ho’oponopono!

Every time I test ho’oponopono, it works. Time and time again. Whenever my neighbours are loud and I want them to be quiet, ho’oponopono works. Whenever I need something to happen at work, ho’oponopono works.

The hardest thing is of course having no expectations, and to constantly remember to clean and to not get frustrated and give it up.

Right now I’m trying to get my current job to transfer me more south. Kind of where I was before this job. I’m not enjoying where I am working, it’s very blue collar, and the weather here is cold.

It’s hard for me to have no expectations, especially since I really want to live more south. But I am trying each day to just come to work and be satisfied in my current position. It’s hard because I don’t enjoy my job or my duties, but with a little help from cleaning and listening to Joe Vitale’s “I love you,” my days aren’t too bad.

It’s amazing what a wonderful path is paved for you once you believe and trust in ho’oponopono. God has a plan for everyone and until you start hitting your zone, you never know your full potential.

In the meantime I would love to hear stories or comments about how ho’oponopono has helped you get over something or deal with something.

Peace begins with me

Happy 2009!

Hi,

Wow it's hard to believe that I have been writing this blog for a year now. Crazy. But it has amazed me as I look back, to what a year it's been.

1. Took my landlords to court and won two free months


2. Got a new job were I increased my salary by over $20 K


3. Found a condo when I had a month and a bit


4. Managed to rent out my condo, in a rent to own program.


5. Got some land for my spouse's business for free


6. Was sent down south near Christmas to help with work, this allowed me to visit people I wouldn't have normally seen.


7. Had an interview with my old boss, who might offer me a position


8. Never seem to run out of money, don't have a lot of money, but always enough to pay for bills and a little bit of fun. My needs are met and than some.


9. Smaller miracles take place around me all the time, I just need to be open to see them.


10. Got a cheque from google adsense for this blog. It wasn't much, but first cheque I got from a blog.

This is just a quick recap on how ho'oponopono has changed my life. I'm also not the most dedicated person out there. I remember to clean only a fraction of them time, but when I do, amazing things happen.

Like on Thursday night, it was like 10pm, and I live in a building. My neighbours under me are always loud at night. As I laid in bed, I decided not to be mad, but to clean. So I said, "I"m sorry for whatever is inside me that is causing these memories about my neighbours being loud. Please erase them, and bring me back to zero. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry neighbours, I'm sorry...." Then when I felt it was time I said, "I love you, I love you neighbours, I love you..." I repeated this for about five minutes, and than suddenly...it was quiet.

So again, ho'oponopono never falls to impress me. And while I did this little test, I totally had doubts. But the great thing about ho'oponopono is, even if you have doubts, it works. So here's to another great year, and hopefully I will remember to clean more often. Thank you for those of you who have followed my journey with me.

I love you
