Dear Friends,
I have not been on this list very long, and I haven't posted much, because my
life has been getting continually busier as I've applied the wonderful
Abraham ideas!
But I wanted to share with all of you how gloriously the ideas work. In the
past few months I have been working to get clearer and clearer about what is
is I truly want in my life. Ted helped me focus my desires with some well
aimed questions and writing assignments.
I realized what I REALLY want is: 1) a slender, healthy body that I feel
good about and that I can use to be active and have fun; 2) to live in a
larger city, preferably near the ocean; 3) to have a positive, significant
relationship with a person who can make a commitment and be honest and open
as well as caring and fun; and 4) to have a job doing meaningful work that
uses my skills and experience and where I can work with enjoyable co-workers
in a pleasant setting.
SOOOO, the Universe has done good! I had a personal ad on AOL and, about a
month ago, I changed it a bit to indicate that I was more than willing to
relocate, as I realized that many potential responders might not be
interested in coming to Missouri to live! I no more than changed the ad and
a wonderful man in Portland, Oregon began a diligent search of the personals.
He spotted mine and noted that I was willing to relocate. I "happened" to
be online when he found it and so he Instant Messaged me. We had a pleasant
first chat and found out that we both love trees and often talk to them and
listen to them. Since that first chat, we have chatted for several hours and
exchanged emails DAILY, plus we have had lengthy phone conversations and he's
mailed me several packages and sent me flowers. We have found incredible
similarities in our goals and dreams and what we want out of a relationship.
We also feel we have a deep soul connection to each other that transcends
this lifetime.
Everything in my life has fallen together since that first chat. My daughter
has decided to move out and live with her significant other. That freed me
to put our house up for sale and think about what I wanted to do. Stephen
invited me to move into his home, so we can explore our very deep soul
connection in person and see where it leads. He is flying here in two weeks
to drive the moving van with my belongings. At his suggestion, we are
stopping for two days at my parent's in Nebraska, because he thought they
might want "to meet the man who's moving me to Oregon." I am currently in a
job with pleasant co-workers but one that does not use my education or
challenge me. Suddenly there are some transitions happening there, making it
a pefect time to exit if I'm not going to be there for the whole process.
And I'm finding many job openings in my field in Portland. The medical
consultant for my workplace and his wife are wanting to downsize their home
and yard and are interested in mine. At age 25, it feels right for my
daughter to live, not only in a separate home from me, but also a separate
town, so that she can truly learn how to live and manage on her own. I had a
doctor's appointment this week and my blood sugar, which had been somewhat
elevated, is down, my blood pressure is perfect, and my weight is down 5 lbs.
from last month. My body is also responding to my vibration of joy and love
and health!
I am incredibly happy and can't wait for this new adventure in Portland. I'd
lived in Seattle and missed the northwest, but had moved back to the midwest
due to my daughter's health and her missing her hometown. Now we are both
free to follow our own dreams.
Every day, when I have a few minutes, I close my eyes and "feel" what it is
like to live in Portland, to enjoy Stephen's company in person, to work with
great co-workers in a good job, and to have tons of fun being active in my
slimmer body. I especially see and feel myself working on the Portland State
University campus, in a freshman mentor position I am applying for, which
feels like a perfect match to my desires.
I just wanted to share my happiness with people who will understand it. And,
I wanted to say that if any Abers are in Portland, I'd love to get together
with you once I'm settled. Stephen is also interested in learning about
Abraham ideas, so we might be interested in a study or discussion group, if
there is one. I hope to hear from Orgeon Abers.
Have a great day!!
Laurel
