[Abraham-Hicks] Being Specific


Ann Marie Michaels
 

Well guess what.... I won! BUT (there's always a but), I only got 2 numbers right, so I won a whooping 2 dollars! LOL I had to laugh out loud because the Universe did give me what I asked for. I did win the lottery, just not the biggest prize... the top jackpot.

So my lesson from this, BE SPECIFIC! When I think about the PT, I was very specific and I use that experience to pattern future creations. I keep re-living it, and looking for what I was thinking and feeling - that brought my wish into reality. And I did know exactly what I wanted, and I got it and then some.
Dear Pen,

I must respectfully disagree with your assessment. I do not think that the reason you won only $2 was because you were not specific enough. This is something I hear a lot from people with various kinds of new age/spiritual backgrounds -- and Abe disputes it pretty consistently.

What Abe says is, "The Universe already knows what you are wanting." Because it has noted "every time you have yippied and yahooed." In other words, the Universe is fully and completely aware of EXACTLY what we are wanting, all the time.

So I don't believe the problem is with us not being specific enough. I think it has to do with our level of allowing. If we are not allowing something to come, then no matter how hard the Universe tries to deliver it, it cannot come.

Which is why they changed the name from "The Science of Deliberate Creation" to "The Art of Allowing". It's ALL about ALLOWING.

Like Tom said, desire means "de" (of or from) - "sire" (God). I *love* that!! When you ask, it is immediately delivered, no exceptions. Asking is the equivalent of receiving.
I would take that $2 as a bit of fun evidence that what you are wanting is on its way. You just have to increase your ALLOWING.

I agree with Ann Marie. When I was "creating" my relationship...the perfect
mate for me....I did not have one thought about anything other than how I
wanted to feel when we were together. At the time, it just didnt occur to
me because I was so focused on the emotional aspect. Other than that I
offered nothing. But when he appeared, he was so many things that I
adored....the perfect height, build, interests, tastes....all bundled up in
one scrumptious package. yumyumyum. The most clever thing though was that
he was only 22 and still like to skate-board, boogie-board, do wheelies on
bikes and such....a real "kid" still.....Which was unbelievably PERFECT ,
even though I had never thought about that....but I had a 6 year old son at
the time who longed for an father who would get down and play with him!
This was even better....a stepfather who was still playing himself!
Now that my son is 17 and my husband 33 they're into the same alternative
music and have basically grown up as pals together. The
Universe...God....Collective Consciousness....KNOWS how and what to
deliver..down to every last detail, even better than we can imagine !
Sometimes we get the details before- hand and its just a great joy to know
and feed our creative process...but not a necessity for receiving
perfection.
Trust!

Can we talk more on this allowing thing?
When Abe says we are not allowing 'it' to come into our lives is he only referring to material things or is he also referring to people or conditions (health, moods)?
In that event, being specific about wanting a certain person to come into your life would be against the others free will, where as if you state you would like a certain 'type' of person to come into your life then you can allow for that.
I've been asking for something, and it seems to be creeping to me. Therefore I must not be allowing it, but I'm unsure as to how I'm not allowing it, what is blocking me? My thoughts? My actions?
Can I get some insight. Please.

Well, I can hear the voice of Ester,
speaker for Abe, saying,
"you must get clear about what it is you want".
This is on many tapes.
If the Universe already knows what I'm wanting,
then why would Abe say "get clear on what you want".
I believe it's even on the 1st or 2nd tape
about the Law of Attraction or on Deliberate Creation.

So maybe Abe has stated a couple of things that
contradict each other. The sentence that felt right
for you was that of the Universe already knowing...
the sentence that felt right for me was that of being
clear about what I want.

When you are scripting or doing VB, this is not a
vague process. You are writing/seeing in great detail
which brings up emotion and good vibes/feelings.

What's that game Connee has on her web site about 52
seconds (or some amount of seconds)? How would that
game work if you just sat there for 52 seconds and
said, OK Universe, you know what I want... give it to
me. OK Universe, you know what I want...
Over and over for 52 seconds.

So do what feels right for you, but for me,
visualizing what I want in detail, like it already
exists (another thing Abe says to do), is my way of
creating and allowing.

So, while I thank you for your opinion Ann Marie,
if you re-read my post, you'll see it says,
"my lesson from this..."
Your reply stated:
So I don't believe the problem is with us not
being specific enough.
I did not say "us". I said "my".
I was just sharing the lesson I got out of it.
(not that I don't have work to do on allowing...)

Thanks for your reply,
Pen

Hi Pen...In my understanding ( for me) they are saying to get clear on the
vibration offered....of course I agree if seeing details helps clarify the
vibe...then that works! For me it hasnt always been necessary. Sometimes I
have known exactly the details and when I get this...yes, it feels very good
to imagine and play with such visions and desires. Saying...I want a new red
car with a vibration of ..because I hate my old green car ...is what is not
clear...the emotions are mixed. Or saying I want money because I have so
many bills .
I feel more clarity with a focus on the emotion, for example...freedom,
happiness, abundance, passion, excitement... without so much emphasis on
how its gonna show up...and was saying that this yields exactly the desired
outcome with perfection regarding the teensiest details. I know how I want
to FEEL! I do believe that we have individual desires that help us in how
and where we would like to flow energy in a particular way....but whether Im
sitting blank and vibrating feeling good/happiness, or whether Im seeing in
great detail, designing my life and feeling good....the U is going to match
the energy expressed and bring me what is perfect for me.
" I feel good" ....is clear to the U...and it will match with more! I
agree with you wholeheartedly on "to each his own"...whatever works is good!
And it is as we each believe. Yes, it feels very good to me that the
Universe/God/Higher Self always knows what I am wanting.

allowing it, what is blocking me? My thoughts? My actions?

Dear Liz,

How can I block delivery of what I want from the U? Let me count the ways,
or at least show some examples. Abe sometimes refers to it as "that thing
that I do."

You may be a ping pong ball: Dear U, give me a vacation in Tahiti! [Tahiti
desire] That's silly, the U couldn't possibly give me a vacation to Tahiti.
I don't even have a passport, let alone a vacation wardrobe. And who would
watch my kids? [No Tahiti] But, I really, really want a vacation in Tahiti.
It's so beautiful there! [Go, Tahiti!] But, I would hate to have to be on
a plane so long! Especially with this terrorism thing. [No Tahiti] But, I
could get my writing off the ground if I were in Tahiti! I would be so
inspired to write my novel! [Tahiti] But, I wonder what illnesses people
get in Tahiti! I mean, like it's a really foreign country. And maybe
tourists are a real target for the local mafia! [Never mind that nobody's
ever said that Tahiti has a mafia -- It still tells the U why you don't want
Tahiti.]

Or maybe you don't believe you "deserve" to have this thing: I really,
really want to vacation in Tahiti, experience the incredibly gorgeous
beaches! Laze in such a spot of beauty. But, I don't deserve that. Why
should I be the one to get to go to Tahiti? I'm not that good of a person.
If I were a really good person, I wouldn't even want a trip to Tahiti. I'd
want to stay home and be a really good mother and advance in my job. I've
never done anything to deserve such a wonderful trip.

As Dr. Phil says, "What is this behavior getting for you?": I would love to
have a vacation in Tahiti! But, I couldn't possibly leave my aging neighbor
to cope by himself. He relies on me to take hot meals to him each day.
[Ever heard of Meals on Wheels?] And, I have to be the one to drive the car
pool everyday. I mean, those other parents have no sense of responsibility!
And, if I left the kids with my mother, why, she doesn't even iron their
clothes before they go to school! I never want my kids to be embarrassed by
wearing wrinkled sweats in gym class! My boss would be totally ineffectual
if I weren't there to take care of all the last minute work that he throws
at me. No, no Tahiti for me! [whine, whine, whine -- I'm such a martyr!
Everyone needs me. They'd be lost without me. Therefore, I am a wonderful
person!)

I really don't believe the U can deliver: I really want this wonderful
vacation to Tahiti, U! I'll have such fun! Thoughts to self: This is
silly. The U doesn't even know I exist. And, if it did, it can't go around
delivering things to people. What an absurd idea. I know that I get the
perfect parking spot every time now, but that's just a coincidence. And
getting those free tickets to Paul McCartney's concert was just a fluke --
it wasn't because I sent out a lightning bolt of desire. The U certainly
did not take that policy I needed from wherever I had put it and place it on
my bed! It must have been with other papers and fallen on the bed.

I can't get things unless I work for them: It's always been my dream to go
to Tahiti! It's what I want to do someday. But, I don't see how I'll ever
be able to afford it. My job just doesn't pay much. But, I'm not qualified
to do anything else. I've saved and saved, but something always comes up
that I have to fix and there goes my savings. I put money into the stock
market and it's now worth less than I paid for it. I don't even play the
lottery because I never win things. I must have been born under an unlucky
start. Nobody in my family's ever been wealthy, so I'll never get an
inheritance. And if some stranger left me money, I wouldn't accept it!
That would just be wrong! Maybe I could work a second job for the money
because nobody else is ever going to help me. I've had to work hard for
every thing I've ever gotten, and that's just the way the way life is!

Keep improving what I wished for: I really want a vacation in Tahiti! The
blue seas, the sandy beaches, the four star hotel, lazing on the sand and
drinking pina coladas. [Go] No, not pina coladas. There must be some
local drink. Yeah, that's what I want -- local cuisine! [Stop] The other
people there will be super friendly and relaxed. We'll really hit it off.
I may even meet an interesting man. [Go] But, I need to lose ten pounds
before I would feel comfortable starting a romance with someone new. I
guess I'll have to diet for a few months before I could go. [Stop] I can
just see myself -- laying under a palm tree, totally relaxed, reading a
romance novel! Wearing a red sarong over my swimsuit. [Go] No, not a red
sarong. A blue one would look better! And do I want to wear flowered
sandals or gold sandals? [Stop] [The U can't deliver what you want if you
keep changing your mind. The U starts delivering the package, complete with
pina coladas. You send it back because you want local cuisine. The U sends
the package, but with local cuisine. You send it back, asking for the
additional friends and that special someone. The U sends a new package, to
be delivered after you'e dieted for a few months and lost ten pounds. You
return the package because now you want a palm tree, a romance novel and a
red sarong. The U adds all of your requests and sends you the new package.
You get the idea. <grin>]

So, Liz, what is "that thing that you do?" Maybe you do more than one of
them? Me, too. But, once you know what it is, you can stay alert and as
soon as you see yourself doing that thing that you do, you can stop doing it
and start vibrating on a new vibe! (pivoting) Sometimes I just tell myself
to vibrate on a vibration that attracts whatever it is that I want. As long
as I believe, it works!

Good,Good, Good Vibrations!

Kathaleen ;-)

On being Specific...I think my american express card from the relative was a
perfect example of not being clear about what I wanted...You see...I made
the intent to "experience unlimited financial resources" and the thought
felt really good and so something similiar manifested....but the motivation
behind it was..."because I dont like all the limitations I now have...I dont
like budgeting, I dont like having to check prices, I dont like limitations
period.!" I didnt line up and offer my energy clearly...without negative
baggage. And so I kinda sorta, a little bit got something like " Unlimited
financial resources" ...in a way...but not what I had in mind which would
feel like cash flowing in my bank account or something to make me feel this
way. I appreciate the card and have put it in perspective but Now that I
think of it and ask ...was my vibe really clear and resonating clearly of
personal wealth and freedom? ...NO! Because if it were I would've offered
the request from another feeling....one of joy over the idea of financial
freedom, instead of need. With the card ....I still "need" the owner of the
card!

I don't feel Abe has made any contradictory statements. I think sometimes
we haven't gotten a complete understanding of what they've said (one of the
BIG reasons I love this list - so very helpful for me in getting clarity/new
insights).

To me the reason for encouraging us to be clear about what we want is so
we'll feel excited about it - be in joyful anticipation of it.

I have noticed with my own desires sometimes I'm totally vibed up without
being specific. Other times I put a lot more into it - lots of details,
etc. - and when I do that it's usually because I'm having such a good time
doing it (and that's what it's all about - right? ;0) )

Somewhere Abe said to be specific/detailed as long as it feels good. The
instant it no longer feels good switch to something else. Talking to others
who have attended recent seminars, isn't that a new game Abe is helping us
play - switching quickly from one VR to another, keeping a consistently high
vibe going?

It's all good.

In Joy,
Jeri

What a great imagination you have Kathaleen, coupled with a wonderful gift
in using it to enlighten.

Sometimes I just tell myself
to vibrate on a vibration that attracts whatever it is that I want. As
long
as I believe, it works!
This is awesome! I wonder/worry sometimes what vibrational level I should
be at to attract what I want (higher? lower?) - this totally eliminates that
question and makes it just a fun game again.

Thank you

Yes, yes, yes! This is TOTALLY awesome. Very very clever!!!! I so often forget that I can ask for help in ways like this. As Abe always tells us, "You make too much of all of this." What if it is a whole lot easier than we think?!

I am going to go home and do this tonight.

Thanks, Kathleen -- you ROCK!

Can we talk more on this allowing thing? When Abe says we are not allowing 'it' to come into our lives is he only referring to material things or is he also referring to people or conditions (health, moods)?
When Abe says we are not allowing, they mean that we are not allowing Source Energy (AKA All That Is/Well-Being/God/Bliss/Universal Forces --
whatever you want to call it). Everything we want comes from this Source Energy -- so when you align with it, you magnetize everything you want.

Think of "Star Wars". It's the FORCE! That's what you want to align with. It's a force of total well-being, joy, love, all the good, yummy, delicious, happy stuff and none of the bad.

In that event, being specific about wanting a certain person to come into your life would be against the others free will, where as if you state you would like a certain 'type' of person to come into your life then you can allow for that.
You can't do anything against someone else's free will because it's an attraction-based universe. There is no such thing as assertion. What that means is, unless the other person is attracting what you are vibrating, you will NOT rendevouz with that individual. You just won't. So you can't hurt anyone so there's nothing to worry about.

Isn't that liberating?

I've been asking for something, and it seems to be creeping to me. Therefore I must not be allowing it, but I'm unsure as to how I'm not allowing it, what is blocking me? My thoughts? My actions?
Your thoughts and emotions. That's what your vibration is. It's incredibly powerful! Most of us vibrate "all over the place" --
stop/start/stop/start ... on/off/on/off ...

In other words, "I want THIS," (on) "but I can't have it," (off).

If you can spend some time every day focusing on vibrating purely in alignment with what you want -- you will start to see a bigger shift. It doesn't take long -- just 5 or 10 minutes a day consistently for a period of a few weeks or a month. If you do that, you will see a shift. Every time I have ever done it, I have always seen massive changes.

Just promise yourself that you will spend time every day imagining what you want is already yours. Or just not thinking about what you want at all but feeling really really good -- like you would feel if you had it.

If you are unsure about how to do this ... or thinking to yourself, "Aren't I doing this already?" Ask yourself, what is my dominant vibration re: this subject? Is it unhappiness, doubt, worry, sadness, frustration? Or is it excitement, joy, passion, exuberance, fascination, wonder? Note what your dominant vibration is on the matter, just so you know where you are starting from.

Then toss that out the window. Erase the blackboard in your mind and decide what you WANT to feel about it. And imagine THAT every day for 5-10 minutes a day. Let yourself really FEEL it, full on, 100%. Just completely and totally GO there. Don't worry if it hasn't happened yet --
during those daily 10 minutes, all you have to do is pretend.

And not just intellectually -- emotionally, physically, like you are riding the rollercoaster in your mind and you REALLY REALLY REALLY feel it.

Then just WATCH what begins to transpire. It'll knock your socks off.

Ann Marie

to it as "that thing
that I do."

You may be a ping pong ball: Dear U, give me a
vacation in Tahiti! [Tahiti
desire] That's silly, the U couldn't possibly give
me a vacation to Tahiti.
I don't even have a passport, let alone a vacation
wardrobe. And who would
watch my kids? [No Tahiti] But, I really, really
want a vacation in Tahiti.
It's so beautiful there! [Go, Tahiti!] But, I
would hate to have to be on
a plane so long! Especially with this terrorism
thing. [No Tahiti] But, I
could get my writing off the ground if I were in
Tahiti! I would be so
inspired to write my novel! [Tahiti] But, I wonder
what illnesses people
get in Tahiti! I mean, like it's a really foreign
country. And maybe
tourists are a real target for the local mafia!
[Never mind that nobody's
ever said that Tahiti has a mafia -- It still tells
the U why you don't want
Tahiti.]

Or maybe you don't believe you "deserve" to have
this thing: I really,
really want to vacation in Tahiti, experience the
incredibly gorgeous
beaches! Laze in such a spot of beauty. But, I
don't deserve that. Why
should I be the one to get to go to Tahiti? I'm not
that good of a person.
If I were a really good person, I wouldn't even want
a trip to Tahiti. I'd
want to stay home and be a really good mother and
advance in my job. I've
never done anything to deserve such a wonderful
trip.

As Dr. Phil says, "What is this behavior getting for
you?": I would love to
have a vacation in Tahiti! But, I couldn't possibly
leave my aging neighbor
to cope by himself. He relies on me to take hot
meals to him each day.
[Ever heard of Meals on Wheels?] And, I have to be
the one to drive the car
pool everyday. I mean, those other parents have no
sense of responsibility!
And, if I left the kids with my mother, why, she
doesn't even iron their
clothes before they go to school! I never want my
kids to be embarrassed by
wearing wrinkled sweats in gym class! My boss would
be totally ineffectual
if I weren't there to take care of all the last
minute work that he throws
at me. No, no Tahiti for me! [whine, whine, whine
-- I'm such a martyr!
Everyone needs me. They'd be lost without me.
Therefore, I am a wonderful
person!)

I really don't believe the U can deliver: I really
want this wonderful
vacation to Tahiti, U! I'll have such fun!
Thoughts to self: This is
silly. The U doesn't even know I exist. And, if it
did, it can't go around
delivering things to people. What an absurd idea.
I know that I get the
perfect parking spot every time now, but that's just
a coincidence. And
getting those free tickets to Paul McCartney's
concert was just a fluke --
it wasn't because I sent out a lightning bolt of
desire. The U certainly
did not take that policy I needed from wherever I
had put it and place it on
my bed! It must have been with other papers and
fallen on the bed.

I can't get things unless I work for them: It's
always been my dream to go
to Tahiti! It's what I want to do someday. But, I
don't see how I'll ever
be able to afford it. My job just doesn't pay much.
But, I'm not qualified
to do anything else. I've saved and saved, but
something always comes up
that I have to fix and there goes my savings. I put
money into the stock
market and it's now worth less than I paid for it.
I don't even play the
lottery because I never win things. I must have
been born under an unlucky
start. Nobody in my family's ever been wealthy, so
I'll never get an
inheritance. And if some stranger left me money, I
wouldn't accept it!
That would just be wrong! Maybe I could work a
second job for the money
because nobody else is ever going to help me. I've
had to work hard for
every thing I've ever gotten, and that's just the
way the way life is!

Keep improving what I wished for: I really want a
vacation in Tahiti! The
blue seas, the sandy beaches, the four star hotel,
lazing on the sand and
drinking pina coladas. [Go] No, not pina coladas.
There must be some
local drink. Yeah, that's what I want -- local
cuisine! [Stop] The other
people there will be super friendly and relaxed.
We'll really hit it off.
I may even meet an interesting man. [Go] But, I
need to lose ten pounds
before I would feel comfortable starting a romance
with someone new. I
guess I'll have to diet for a few months before I
could go. [Stop] I can
just see myself -- laying under a palm tree, totally
relaxed, reading a
romance novel! Wearing a red sarong over my
swimsuit. [Go] No, not a red
sarong. A blue one would look better! And do I
want to wear flowered
sandals or gold sandals? [Stop] [The U can't
deliver what you want if you
keep changing your mind. The U starts delivering
the package, complete with
pina coladas. You send it back because you want
local cuisine. The U sends
the package, but with local cuisine. You send it
back, asking for the
additional friends and that special someone. The U
sends a new package, to
be delivered after you'e dieted for a few months and
lost ten pounds. You
return the package because now you want a palm tree,
a romance novel and a
red sarong. The U adds all of your requests and
sends you the new package.
You get the idea. <grin>]

So, Liz, what is "that thing that you do?" Maybe you
do more than one of
them? Me, too. But, once you know what it is, you
can stay alert and as
soon as you see yourself doing that thing that you
do, you can stop doing it
and start vibrating on a new vibe! (pivoting)
Sometimes I just tell myself
to vibrate on a vibration that attracts whatever it
is that I want. As long
as I believe, it works!

Good,Good, Good Vibrations!

Kathaleen ;-)

Can we talk more on this allowing thing?
When Abe says we are not allowing 'it' to come into
our lives is he only
referring to material things or is he also referring
to people or conditions
(health, moods)?
In that event, being specific about wanting a
certain person to come into
your life would be against the others free will,
where as if you state you
would like a certain 'type' of person to come into
your life then you can
allow for that.
I've been asking for something, and it seems to be
creeping

Yes, I think somewhere in my focus
I must have been coming from a vibration
that was not totally positive.
Maybe I too was not offering the thought from
a vibration of abundance, but from lack.
In addition to not see clearly all 6 numbers
being correct. This would explain my $2.00 winnings!
LOL
Thanks for the insight,
Pen

manifested....but the motivation
behind it was..."because I dont like all the
limitations I now have...I dont
like budgeting, I dont like having to check prices,
I dont like limitations
period.!" I didnt line up and offer my energy
clearly...without negative
baggage. And so I kinda sorta, a little bit got
something like " Unlimited

had in mind which would
feel like cash flowing in my bank account or
something to make me feel this
way. I appreciate the card and have put it in
perspective but Now that I
think of it and ask ...was my vibe really clear and
resonating clearly of
personal wealth and freedom? ...NO! Because if it
were I would've offered
the request from another feeling....one of joy over
the idea of financial
freedom, instead of need. With the card ....I still
"need" the owner of the
card!

Hi, friends,

I just have to jump in here, esp. as my biggest issue in my face right now
is prosperity/abundance.

Just last night, I was reading & writing to Abe friends & others & allowing
& knew that I needed $2,000 just to catch up on my current bills/payments
for this month. Knowing I had nothing in the bank, no income & no job, I
just 'allowed' it to flow & trusted Spirit to bring it to me & did my best
to get out of the way. I wanted/desired to receive my good!

A few minutes later, I read a post and it was a way for me to make $1,600 in
only 4 days. Wow! I could barely believe it but I just sat here with a big
smile on my face & realized it was truly a message from the Universe,
answering me back & quickly. I was about to write to the company to apply
and I received a post that said it was a mistake. The deal was legit, but
it was in another location and would not work out. So, I received & it
seemed to be taken away just as quickly.

Tell me now, do I just laugh at this & know that somewhere ELSE, the
Universe will 'really' provide the money I need or what? Any suggestions?

You are all so wonderful & I treasure this interaction with you.

Peace, joy, love & great abundance,
Delia

Well guess what.... I won! BUT (there's always a but), I only got 2
numbers right, so I won a whooping 2 dollars! LOL I had to laugh out
loud because the Universe did give me what I asked for. I did win the
lottery, just not the biggest prize... the top jackpot.

So my lesson from this, BE SPECIFIC! When I think about the PT, I was
very specific and I use that experience to pattern future creations. I
keep re-living it, and looking for what I was thinking and feeling - that
brought my wish into reality. And I did know exactly what I wanted, and
I
got it and then some.
Dear Pen,

I must respectfully disagree with your assessment. I do not think that
the
reason you won only $2 was because you were not specific enough. This is
something I hear a lot from people with various kinds of new age/spiritual
backgrounds -- and Abe disputes it pretty consistently.

What Abe says is, "The Universe already knows what you are
wanting." Because it has noted "every time you have yippied and
yahooed." In other words, the Universe is fully and completely aware of
EXACTLY what we are wanting, all the time.

So I don't believe the problem is with us not being specific enough. I
think it has to do with our level of allowing. If we are not allowing
something to come, then no matter how hard the Universe tries to deliver
it, it cannot come.

Which is why they changed the name from "The Science of Deliberate
Creation" to "The Art of Allowing". It's ALL about ALLOWING.

Like Tom said, desire means "de" (of or from) - "sire" (God). I *love*
that!! When you ask, it is immediately delivered, no exceptions. Asking
is the equivalent of receiving.
I would take that $2 as a bit of fun evidence that what you are wanting is
on its way. You just have to increase your ALLOWING.

IMO, this phrase is probably what you were vibrating: Knowing I had nothing
in the bank, no income & no job. Sounds like you were asking from a place
of lack. So, the U generously delivered what you desired, but then felt the
vibration that you have nothing in the bank, no income & no job. The U
grabbed it back, realizing it had been delivered to the wrong place. Try
again, feeling/believing/knowing that you have lots of money, you have the
most wonderful, perfect job that you created, and the money just flows to
you a magnet from many sources. Bet you get something even better then!

I love your name -- Delia! How beautiful!

SPCL,

HI Delia,

What came to me as I read your post was to stay with the feeling you had when you believed you
would be getting the $1600 in 4 days and were feeling wonderful. Replay that again and again for
the good feelings and just wait for the U to deliver.
I'm seeing you with money floating down all around you and a huge smile on your face!

Blessings always, Paulette
