More Blessings in a time of Chaos

Hi
Sorry I haven't written in awhile, seems I'm always apologizing lately.

Life has taken me through some ups and downs. But I guess it's more accurate to say I was stuck in memories.

Chaos is all around me, everyone that I know at work, who had a similar position to me, has been laid off. I'm the last one standing.

I was a little sad and upset by this, and my spouse told me to look at it like a blessing. I still have a job, I am still making money, I should be grateful. So I'm trying hard to look at things as opportunities.

My second blessing was getting a line of credit to pay off my credit card bills. The interest has just been killing me. All the payments I've made haven't made a dent because of the high interest rate. In December I applied for a line of credit and got denied. So I've been busy cleaning, not specifically just generally.

Well a couple of weeks ago, I thought I would try again, because I need to break the cycle and like Bob Proctor in the Secret said, "stop thinking about your debt." So that's what I needed to do.

I applied for a line of credit and this time I got approved and than some. To say the least I have now paid off my credit cards, and now have a manageable payment to make every month.

Well now that I am the last person in my department, I guess I have job security, because there is no one left to do my job.

Remember in times of need and chaos, to really look around, what might seem bad, could really be a blessing in disguise. Remember to always be cleaning and to not get stuck.

I love you

Silver linings all around!

Like everyone on the planet, I've been going through hard times. Money is scarce, I'm worried about losing my job...etc.

The other day in the mail I got a letter saying I could get $120 in groceries. Things have been tight lately, and I haven't gone grocery shopping in a few weeks. The letter was like a blessing in disguise. Not only did I get $120 in groceries, but I had collected several coupons and for a bill of $140, I only paid $25.00. Not bad!


I've also been working on a pet project, and today I noticed it's starting to be successful. More traffic is coming to the site, and I've actually made a few sales with amazon. I'm stoked.


So here is my point, things might seem bleak, but keep cleaning. There is a silver lining just around the corner coming for you. And sometimes you just need to stop and turn around to see it.


I love you, I'm sorry, thank you.
