Doing the Happy Dance!


Last night several family and friends gathered at my home for a cash in your jewelry party. It was quite prosperous for all of us- including me the hostess. Two jewelers came to my house, set up their equipment for appraising jewelry, and bought my guests' unwanted jewelry from them. This was a different kind of gathering. It was unlike the usual, candle, home interior, pamperend chef, lia sofia type party, where you come, watch a demonstration, buy more than you can afford and leave feeling guilty for having spent so much. There was no demonstration, just sign up for your turn to sell the stuff some boyfriend, who you can't remember his name anymore, gave you in high school. I made 10% of what was sold- which came out to about $500! I did quite a little happy dance. Nobody left unhappy. The highest seller was a guest who came with an invited friend. She wasn't going to come and boy is she lucky she came- she went home with $1,200. Somebody else made a similar amount and that money is being donated to sponsor her niece at a fundraiser for Lymphoma. I was very excited to hear that. I feel good that eventhough my original intension for having the party was for me to make some money, that some of the money acquired was going to benefit more than those at the party last night. So, today I am on a nice little high and it's pay day at work- double happy dance!!!

Here is today's affirmation: "I prosper wherever I turn. I now see opportunities for abundance everywhere. I am blessed and prosper."
Last month when I received an invitation to the house of a friend whom I have not seen in a while to come and cash in my old jewelry, I had a feeling that attending would bring me additional opportunity to prosper. I hesitated and some people thought it was a hoax to get me to buy something. But I went with my hunch and took the opportunity, I was right and now I've cashed in. Today I am truly grateful for that opportunity.
So, here's your chance to do the "Happy Dance" with me. Don't turn from opportunity. When you see the chance to take another step towards reaching your goals- don't let others talk you out of it. Grab all the opportunities you can get and GO FOR IT! The additional $500 is not a life changing amount, but it sure does make me do a "Happy Dance" and that feels good. And when we emit good feelings out into the universe more good things come to us.

The Law of Attraction at Work

I have been studying and practicing the Law of Attraction since January of this year. I have read books, watched "The Secret", and listened to seminars. Little did I know that I was practicing this way of living for most of my life. Whatever I want for myself, when I feel confident and trust that I will receive it then it comes to me. However, when I am nervous or unsure and feel negative about something, I don't get it. Most of my life I was told that I will never have lots of money. That is reserved for the few and privleged. My husband and I make a good salary but seemed to never have a lot of money, because this is something that we were told. We were given a preconceived notion that we will never have an abundance of wealth.Well since I have been studying the Law of Attraction I have shifted my thinking. I have not done anything different except have a more positive belief and confidence about receiving money. Yet in the past few months little things have happened that has brought us extra money. I have been given opportunities to teach enrichment classes that brought me some extra money. (I did not ask to teach them, I was approached by people and asked to teach those classes)At the end of May, my husband was given a bonus without any explanation. I have reopened relationships with people I have not seen in a long time. And just last night I attended a party at a friends house (someone I have not seen in a while) and went home with an extra $130. The premise of the party was to bring your old gold and silver jewelry and exchange it for cash. Jewelers were there to appraise and buy the jewelry from those who attended the party. My friend made 10% of what cash was paid out last night. The jewelers purchased $10,000 in jewelry from the guests and they gave my friend $1,000. I booked a party for them to come to my house and buy jewelry from my guests and I will make the same 10%. These amounts of money are not windfalls, but like I said little things are beginning to occur that is bringing me extra cash all because of my shift in thinking. I am looking forward to more experiences that will continue to bring more abundance to our lives. Below you will find a video with affirmations that may help to shift your thinking.
Today's affirmation reads: "My income is constantly increasing. I begin now today, to open myself to ever-increasing prosperity." Very appropriate given my experience last night. I truly pulled this card at random this morning!
