I had been wanting to take it too, but didn't really think I could afford to spend the money. I also just think holy cow, the total amount of money from that one workshop adds up to over $50,000... more than a lot of people make in one year. That's amazing!Marcia Becketthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10308258673884732796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3632655288073740255.post-61422822944997701612012-09-19T15:52:54.463-07:002012-09-19T15:52:54.463-07:00Hi, Valery - love your post. Thank you for your ge...Hi, Valery - love your post. Thank you for your generosity and honesty. I am taking Flying Lessons, too. I read about it in June and told my husband it's what I wanted to do. That it was the next step for my business plans. He supported my wanting to take the class, but who has $150 bucks lying around?? <br /><br />We don't. So, I focused on selling a couple paintings. I just needed to sell a couple to make the payment...and it happened!! I truly believe that if you desire something, it will come to you. You will find the means. You have, too. Embrace this opportunity, Valery. You DESERVE it. YOU DO! Lots of us do. <br /><br />Go you. Yay you - can't wait to see where we go from here!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17312754268596041741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3632655288073740255.post-32674760274587638692012-09-19T12:52:17.418-07:002012-09-19T12:52:17.418-07:00oh, julie, your comment has made me weepy. thank y...oh, julie, your comment has made me weepy. thank you for sharing, i really did feel all alone even though i do have some very understanding friends not many of them know that the reason i started cutting my own hair is because i could never afford a haircut and when i could i valued other things more. i don't get pedicures or massages for the same reasons and even though i value myself now, the money isn't just magically there and maybe i don't value myself enough, i don't know - that's still an entire novel unto itself, but either way i have never had $60 that wasn't already accounted for, with which to go to pay someone to touch me, no matter how desperately it was needed.<br /><br />and yes. daily starbucks or whatever, i don't even let it bother me anymore. i think even if i had the means, i wouldn't spend excessively anymore because i've done that and there's no reason anyone NEEDS daily starbucks. <br /><br />so glad to have met you on this journey. i believe it, too. it's WHAT WE'RE HERE FOR. to divinely craft our lives and yet this financial abundance hurdle is, apparently, pretty huge. <br /><br />i've started being more definitive and instead of saying things like "i want...." i just say it like it's the present so that wants turn into haves or "i am...." statements rather than "i will be...." - say it as if it's already so.<br /><br />i am questioning my role in "acceptance" and where the boundaries of healthy and dysfunctional relationships intersect and i believe that we know, in our hearts, when someone's hurting us. if they are not intentionally seeking to cause harm, but are in a lot of pain themselves, then obviously there will be times when we, too, are hurt but as long as we can recognize when we're operating from our hearts and when we're being manipulated i don't think it speaks of any weakness in ourselves that allow us to accept people as they are <3awesomamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16470214002963712590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3632655288073740255.post-57791584739066241132012-09-19T12:09:23.036-07:002012-09-19T12:09:23.036-07:00Valery, How do I express your honesty is so refres...Valery, How do I express your honesty is so refreshing and I too am on your path in a number of ways. I always feel aggravated when some of my friends say they don't have money and yet they just had a manicure, massage, hit star bucks daily etc. And when I say I have no money I might could scrape up $5.00. I believe we were created to live abundant lives and yet I am living the least abundantly ever. Having abundance in your personal life is the most important thing and I am struggling with that, I am deeply in love with someone that is broken, they have an alcohol addiction and they have been so mistreated by women that he now is very disconnected~So when I stop and look at me, I see that okay you too must be broken to except this~and yet I love him more daily. I am so proud of you for finding your way and being on the incredible journey you are on and I feel you will find abundance. I so understand I have not had a hair cut in 11 mos. The list could go on and on but mainly I just want you to know you are not alone!!! xoxoJm monroehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08780407898351541936noreply@blogger.com
