Enjoying the Contrast

One of the most common misunderstandings about life -- for me and many others -- has been thinking that things should be different than they are. Especially when I'm steeped in contrast!!

By contrast, I mean any life experience that makes me realize I want something to be different, to feel bad and then to have to readjust myself and my thoughts.

For years, I've been judging the contrast I experience, even while I'm deeply in it. Well, this just creates more contrast -- more pain. I am learning in the last year to appreciate the contrast for the creative juices it stirs. Heck! It lets me know I don't want something, which lets me know more about what I do want and then I HAVE A CHOICE.

What does this have to do with abundance?

Well, contrast is everywhere. It's part and parcel of the creative soup of life. We are regularly in and out of it. It is, in and of itself, abundant.

So when we successfully adjust and do not condemn it or us, and just focus on finding "Why this is the best thing that could have happened," as an old friend of mine likes to say, then we have more peace than pain. It's a "silver lining" thang.

For example, I've been waiting all week to hear about this money transfer from one of my business partners. This money was due in Kansas City on Monday, in order to close on my next investment property. The money was delayed till Tuesday. However, it's still not shown up at title on Wednesday. I have been unable to reach my friend for 24 hours. That's a lot of contrast. A lot of potential angst.

But through out the process, I have transmuted my anxiety, fear and confusion into laughter, letting go and appreciating how little control I have over the situation, other than in how I feel.

And what's been happening is that I've been presented with 2-3 other excellent deals! Go figure.

Today, I invite you to find the abundance in your contrast. Let me know how it goes.

Abundantly Peaceful

I'm finding it interesting where I'm finding abundance lately. After completely letting go of the outcome of my current property rehab -- and trusting that whenever and however it gets done, it will get done and it will then sell quite quickly -- I find myself incredibly peaceful.

In fact, peace infused my day. It flowed easily and effortless. There were two things that could have thrown it off -- not closing on my next deal today and having my Internet and VOIP phone go down for approximately 3 hours -- but they didn't. Not at all.

So peace was the theme of my day.

Within that peace, came a wonderful productive, a view of the world from a very open, calm perspective. A very profound sense of financial prosperity was accompanied by it. So much so that at one point today, when I thought of how much money I'd like to make per month, at a minimum, and said to myself, "I want to make $xx,xxx per month from now on", the thought seemed and felt obvious and believable and doable. A kind of "well of course" feeling inside. Like it was a logical, practical and reachable next step.

Abundance can come in the oddest ways. And it starts from the inside.

Looks like November will see me make that much and more! I think I'll let the Universe out-dream me for once! Or at least to inspire me to dream bigger. :)

What's been going on (Part II)

Friday -- a very abundant day

* signed and delivered the closing papers for my next deal and....
* found out I'm getting another deal. and....
* found an awesome new general contractor. and...
* witnessed a friend's success and joy at his book launch party. and...
* saw an old girlfriend, which was nice. and...
* found my heart opening to someone new -- someone I appreciate as a friend/acquaintance, but who I also now appreciate as a woman. that was a fun surprise. to connect so strongly and have my heart opened. cool! and...
(see it was very a abundant day!)
* hung out with 3 friends who I rarely spend time with all together and had a blast. and...
* supported a jazz singer friend of mine by showing for her second set at La Ve Lee.

Saturday

* one of my great joys is teaching people how to play the game Cashflow, created by Robert Kiyosaki, author of "Rich Dad, Poor Dad". We had a great time today, learning who to read financial statements and how to get out of the rat race and become financially free. Anything I can do to remain focused on this goal is immensely rewarding. And helping others reinforces that.

Today

* I'm always fascinated when I meet new people who hold a certain kind of energy. Today, after dance, I met two women who were and are, utterly delightful to know and spend time with. I love being absorbed into and surrounded by the beauty that is women. In and of itself -- with no action required -- is pure bliss. Dance was too.
* I finished the day by sharing dinner with my best friend Lea. She moved to Colorado back in June and I haven't seen her since. We are such birds-of-a-feather and complete goofballs that I cannot help feeling better and that all is well in the world, after sharing good chats and good eats with her. Thank you Lea, for your loving friendship!!

What's been going on.

Wow, I haven't written since Tuesday morning! My goodness. Well, I'll just do a quick summary catch-up of the week and move on.


Tuesday

* The day was full of thoughts about this new awareness regarding relationships. I didn't put much effort into it. But the seed was planted

Wednesday

* Powerful day. I was in fear at first, regarding the details for the funding of my next deal. I spent a few hours in and out of funk. But then I decided to focus on creating a great event that night, for the Abundance Party I hosted. About 2 hours after I switched focus, the call finally came in. We're 100% go for closing on Monday!
* The Abundance Party rocked! Great people showed up and the vibe was really high. I facilitated 3 games/exercises to get us in-touch with receiving more abundance. Then we chatted about the Young Living oils and had a veritable sniff-fest, enjoying all the oils. It really was incredible and we're doing it again November 3rd!

Thursday

* I woke up completely blissed out from the party. And stress free. I offered this game on Wednesday called the Placemat Process. It's from Abraham-Hicks. Well, it's simply a way of letting go and shifting focus by delegating tasks to the Universe. On Thursday, I realized over half of what I wanted to do could be given to the Universe to handle. And the day was smooth. I even bought a cool new mobile device -- the Helio Ocean.

Relationships

I had a funny thought last night as I was getting ready for bed. "There's absolutely no reason why I can't have a girlfriend/partner/lover in my life right now!"

This, although still a tad bit negative, is really a huge realization. And while most of my abundance blog has been focused on money -- which many people also want great abundance in -- I have the desire for abundance on all levels: even love and relationship.

So this morning, I took a closer look at this statement, trying to spin it even a tad bit more positive. I still haven't locked in on something that aligns with how I'm feeling inside; that I can complete get behind and resonate with. The best I have come up with is this:

"Given that I can have a new relationship at any time I want, and I am in no hurry for one, I willing release any resistance to allowing that into to manifest in my life right now."

That's close. But I am 100% certain of one thing: that from now on, I will only have wonderful, glorious relationships with women who are a perfect match for me. I made that decision yesterday and totally believe it.

Note I didn't say perfect woman, just perfect match. :)

And so I am feeling even more abundant in the area of love as well.

Abundance in the Un-received and Unseen

I awoke this morning thinking about the nature of abundance. As I mentioned in an earlier post, we often limit our view of this amazing topic to what comes directly to us. When in actuality, it's always all around us. Reminds me of that movie "Love Actually".

So for example, when I first began to practice visualizations based on the Law of Attraction -- or more accurately the Art of Allowing -- as taught by Abraham, I would visualize the kind of woman I wanted to be with. Admittedly, this was very challenging, because I've always had this aversion to being super specific about that area of my life. Coming from a place of lack always made me think I should keep my options open. Now I know that being clear and specific -- knowing what I want -- actually increases the chance of it occurring, not the other way around.

Anyways, as I was choppily practicing these visualizations, I would begin to notice women who looked like her while I was out and about. This made me realize that there really is a massive amount of what we want, available in the world.

And of course, it's there whether we see it and notice it or receive it or not! So the deeper question is "Do you have enough trust to believe it's there, even when you can't see it?"

The Money's Coming!

Today, I heard from one of my banks on the deal I'm working on. They can't fund it. And I'm calm about it. Because I truly believe I have a cash partner who will buy the deal with me. As they say, 50% of something is better than nothing!

So I'm not nervous, or fearful, or anything except excited. I KNOW in my heart, that all is well, that the money is coming to pay for this deal and it is simply a matter of when, not if.

There's a lot to be said for aligning with what you want and then allowing that abundance to manifest, with intention.

Time to put more oil on. Let's see what happens today!! :)

Catching up from the weekend

While nothing new monetarily happened, I did have an abundant weekend on other fronts.

A dear friend came to my house Saturday morning and gave me a Raindrop treatment with a gazillion different oils. It was incredible. Part massage, part aromatherapy and part oily intake. It was stimulating, fun and relaxing.

Saturday night I realized I have permanently left behind the old way of thinking. I was at a session with one of my spiritual advisers and I started to ask the question "When will the money I want come to me?" What struck me was how "old" that question was. Like from a previous, more fearful me. And I realized that was a story that is no longer relevant. The money is ALREADY HERE. Wonderfully and magnificently and abundantly here. So I asked another question! :)

And today, I spent the day enjoying feelings of prosperity in regards to love and relationships. I was literally basking in the light of feeling immense love and appreciation for m next girlfriend/partner/lover. I actually saw a woman -- a neighbor in fact -- who I think is quite beautiful. It was a lovely reminder and match to my feelings inside!

See, I've learned recently that it's not the thing we want. It's the feelings we want. And to cultivate the feelings ahead of time, inside ourselves, truly pre-paves the way for allowing that thing to come into our life.

I got $2 MIllion!!

Well, not quite. But when you total up ALL the money that has been floating around me this last week -- be it in raising the 30K, looking for a private lender for my deal over the weekend, talking to mortgage brokers during the week, or partner discussion today -- I think it's well over $2 million.

$ 30K - money I raised last week
$285K - amount I needed for the loan on the 10-unit I didn't get
$250K - amount I need to buy and fix the 4-bedroom flip
$800K - total amount of money mentioned in a phone call to a private lender lead
$200K - money mentioned as availalbe through a colleague's clients, per client!
$500K - total amount stated as available from a prospective business partner

For a grand total of $2,065,000!

Whoa!

Sure, only $30K of that ACTUALLY directly came into my experience this week. But so what. I've never, ever discussed this much money in a year, much less a week!

Think about it. We are SOOO limited to looking just at the specific dollars that come into our wallets and bank accounts, through the specific means and at specific times. How much money are we actually talking about or indirectly dealing with on a daily basis?

Makes you re-think exactly what "abundance" is, doesn't it?

Letting go = opening up to abundance!

Today was really simple. I had some emails to do, work up an evite and keep the ball rolling on funding my deal.

And the adundance oil was working overtime today!

Funny thing was that other than one call in the morning, one email to a lender and a few procedural emails to another lender, I didn't spend any time looking for financing today. I didn't even think about it! But it found me, in true Law of Attraction style!

Most noteworthy were two phone calls.

The first came in the middle afternoon. A colleague I had recently met called to inquire about the house I am selling and the flip I am buying, chat about his properties and get some referrals in Kansas City. And then, out of nowhere, we started talking about financing. Come to find out, he has several clients who do that. He said he'd discuss it with them. Sweet!! More possible sources of funding.

The second call, which just ended, was even more incredible.

It was from a former colleague at a job I worked, who is an accomplished investor, but quite modest about it. I had been trying to reach him for months to discuss the potential for him to be a lender or to partner with. But I was VERY resistant to the partnering idea. I wanted to do it myself and have all the profit myself! Hmph! :)

Well, come to find out, we're on the exact same wavelength, he's got funds to use, excellent credit and employment history, he can fund my next deal and he wants to do a lot of deals.

Oh my God! I was just besides myself! I was so excited I called my realtor to share the good news. It's so amazing to be experiencing SO MUCH abundance. I feel so blessed right now.

I just wanna do deals!!! (Sigh)

Last night was a major turning point for me. Huge.

I went to dinner, needing a break from the "struggle" of trying to find funding for my next deal, the disappointment from losing the last one, and a little fear of losing the next one. And as I was finally relaxing, I thought "I just wanna do deal. I just wanna do deals. I don't care how that happens or through who, I just wanna do deals. %50 of something is better than nothing."

In that moment, it was like my brain sighed. I know that sounds weird. But something shut off. A my resistance and blocking slipped away. I realized there was more than one way to skin a deal, to borrow a phrase, and that if partnerin helped me close deals, by golly, I was going to partner. Sure, the profits would have to be split. But I just wanna do deals.

And today, I feel light as a feather and connected to the stream of abundance!! I'm ready to stop trying to do everything myself and I'm open to other ways of accomplishing my goals!

Letting go and allowing

Well, today was the last ditch effort to keep the deal I've been trying to do alive. Quite honestly, it had about as much hope as a snowflake in an oven! :) But the experience has been very informative for me.

I've learned a bit more about how we can block abundance by being so set on how one thing comes about. I think the big turning point today was the quote from "Notes from the Universe". Do you get those? No? The rock!

Here's the actual quote:

"Disappointment over any affair in life, turn of events, or twist of "fate," Greg, always reveals that the affair, event, or occurrence was viewed as a "how" towards achieving something greater like love, joy, or a new 'ride' with spinning hubcaps, which now seems even further out of reach.

Both profound misunderstandings. HUGE.

Good thing, huh?
The Universe"

Okay, so here's what I realized. I want financial freedom. I want love. I want joy and fun adn fulfillment. But there's a gazillion different ways for those to come about. And when I lock onto one specific way, I block all the others. Or when I make one way THE ONLY way (in my head) of getting what I desire -- authentically and truly desire, not in a childish way -- then I block it from coming.

Tricky thing that, eh?

See, when we're not blocking, there is no such thing as childish, selfish or egotistical desires. All desires are natural. Unless we're blocking. Ay there's the rub!

How much abundance can you allow into your life?

When Abundance oil doesn't seem to be working

So the big gift today was a powerful awareness about the nature of the Abundance oil. This awareness was triggered by having rather challenging experiences this past Sunday and Monday, to the point where, on Monday, I felt like the oil wasn't working. I was clearly off-kilter and no where having the run of abundance I had the week prior. Not that a huge run of abundance is necessary every day. But yesterday, it was like anti-abundance. Or, an abundance of challenges. (So technically that IS still abundance.) Anyways...

What I realized today was that the Abundance oil really works with where you're at. For example, as is true with most anything, if you believe it will work, then it will. However, what if you believe it will work and it "doesn't"?

(Okay, now I'm having a deja vue, how odd).

Well, I actually think it is working still. If what the detail sheet on this oil says is true, and the oil enhances the frequency of the energy field that surrounds us, thereby creating the frequency associated with the "law of attraction", then I think that the oil actually acts as an enhancer or magnifier of where we're already at. Instead of an outright stimulus for instant manifestation.

Why else would some people use it and have no real results (unless they're just not looking at things through the right pair of glasses) while other people have hot-off-the-presses amazing weeks (like mine last week)?

Knowing what I know and have studied about the Law of Attraction, what you focus on you become. So while the oil can help elevate and shift ones focus, if there is a solid practiced belief that is creating resistance in one's life -- like my panic, urgency and disappointment over possibly loosing this real estate deal over the weekend -- then I do not think the oil can work to it's fullest potential without the inside work being in alignment.

See, on Monday, once I fully let go of trying to control the situation or of needing a specific outcome, that's when everything shifted. And I was practically bathing in the oil all day long.

Something to think about. If you're using the Abundance Blend and getting "sketchy" or limited results, check out what you're focusing on. If it's negative or lower vibration, you might need to shift your focus and clean up your frequency so that the Abundance Blend can actually do it's trick. In fact, I believe YL has some oils just for that purpose!

An interesting insight.

So the rest of today was pretty darn amazing. I found out the bank didn't approve the funding for the deal I was worried about over the weekend. But even better, the agent on the seller's side contacted us and asked if there was anything else we could do and suggested talking to the bank to try to assume the loan! So the deal's still alive!

Then a woman from San Diego called out of the blue today, responding to an old post I had on the San Diego Creative Investors web site. She is looking for a lot of different deals in Kansas City AND has money available as a financing partner. I talked to her about funding another one of my deals.

I had a private lender call me back and explain how we could work together . That conversation has finally begun and is no where near over!

I had an amazing conversation with a friend in need, discussing how powerful we are even when we're feeling powerless and how her supposed lack of power is just misdirected power!

I was offered a wonderful discount Raindrop treatment tomorrow.

But most wonderfully of all, today I realized something very important about this oil, which I will share in the next post!

Everything moving again!

Things are definitely moving again. My meditation felt really high this morning and I felt connected to the abundance of life and the world of possibilities. And when I opened my email, there was word on some offers I put out and we're in counter offer status on a few. Which is very good.

Today is really gonna pop. I believe it! More later...

Don't take score too soon!

Today was HARD. It's interesting to note that given my challenged vibration today, how much harder it was to notice abundance. As of right now, it appears the deal I was hustling to fund over the weekend is now defunct. No word from the lender. No word from private people who could possible fund it. And to top it off, my phone was out of order for a few hours in the morning.

While lunching with a friend, I realized these were all signs for me to let go. And I remembered something a mentor passed onto me, that he was told by Abraham. "Disappointment is taking score too soon!"

I always get a fun image when I remember that quote. It's kind of like being at a football game at half-time and you team is behind by 7 points and saying, as you exit the stadium in a huff, "That's it! We've lost!" And then not returning to the game. Wait a minute! There's still half a game left and they're only behind by one touchdown!

Don't take score too soon. In fact, never take score. Celebrate EVERY completion.

So once I let go and was willing to move on, things began moving again. Especially my feeling of abundance!!

A little more quiet today

Not that much happened today. I was admittedly busy with friends and taking my afternoon nap. :) But a two interesting things did happen.

First, one of my business partners got wind of a local deal that could net some decent profits if acquired properly. So we were brainstorming on that a bit.

Then at dinner, due to a few errors in the kitchen, I got my entire meal comped. Of course, I had to ask politely. But heck, it was still free.

Sunday's are usually a light day for me energetically anyways. But come tomorrow, I am expecting an incredible week!!

I'm actually having fun with this now!

I have to admit that non-stop stories of abundance were overwhelming the first few days. But today, I'm actually getting used to it. And not just getting used to it, but enjoying it. Of course, the Law of Attraction states that that which you put out (focus upon) attracts more of the same. So it's no wonder it's this cool, funky domino effect of abundance stories. But the oil is definitely doing something.

Today I went to a real estate investment club meeting and met a whole bunch of people. One guy has 4 duplexes in Kansas City he is trying to sell. Another wants to buy rent-ready properties and make cash flow so he can retire in 5 years. Another gal wants distressed properties and to piggyback on my work. And another person have lots of money available to them.

I have to admit that I was a bit nervous about the money I need to come up with by Monday, so I was not very locked in with my intention that morning. But for not being intentional, that's still pretty good influx of abundance!

Friday - Day 5

Today's story is less subtle and a bit challenging to see where the abundance is in it. But it's there. Just wait.

I got a big scare today. Today I was supposed to close on this 10-unit apartment building I am buying in Kansas City. But the bank hasn't given word yet. All we needed was a term sheet and commitment letter and the seller would stop panicking and we can close next week. But nothing yet. Nada. Zilch.

Essentially, unless the bank pulls a miracle. I need at least $185,000 to be wired to KC by Monday, October 15th at 3pm Pacific. Or no 10-unit for Greg.

Man, I got scared for about 20 minutes. Was really feeling that crisis of faith. Then I pulled it together, said a few prayers and put some more oil on. If I got I can get 6 times that over the weekend. But I didn't know where to start. I made a few calls, helped some friends and get thinking things over, waiting for inspiration.

Now, you need to understand something about me. I do not like to act from a place of fear or urgency. Gnarly, painful results come from it. Nor am I the type of person who "powers through" or trys to make something happen. I like to act from a place of inspiration and intuitive thoughts. And I was running dry.

So how is this an abundance story. Well, I decided until I have any more ideas, to just hang tight and focus on envisioning buying the building, signing the paper work, etc. Everything I've been picturing. The deal is mine. Period. I own this building.

And then, the miracle happens. Tonight I was talking to a friend on the phone -- a fellow investor who is eager and new, who I am helping a bit. So, without thinking about it, and mostly cause she likes to here about my deals, I told her what was going on. She asked how much I needed. I told her. Then the magic words: she had a good friend for whom that amount is a drop in a bucket.

Whoa! No freakin' way! Amazing.

We got on the phone and called him and left a message.

And you know what is even more freaky? As I was asking her friend's name, I knew she was going to say "David" before she even opened her mouth.

Um, I Lost Count. :)

...but I know this is number 2 today. (Phew!)

So I got the money today and deposited it into my account. Easy-breezy. Lender should be happy now. Then I rang up my realtor and told him about getting the money and depositing it into my account. Dude practically fell off the phone, if that's possible.

Essentially, I found and deposited $30,000 in less than 24 hours! He's like "I'm a believer man. Don't know how you did it, but you sure worked some magic!"

And then out of the blue, he tells me about this other deal he's doing where he may loose it because the buyers are getting a nasty divorce and are pulling out of the deal. My ears pricked up. Large single family worth 118K. Purchase price agreed at 57K. Low rehab and good area. I asked for more numbers, ran them through and said I'd buy it. We'll find out next week.

Another great deal without any effort on my part. I'm a believer too Josh!

OMG! I Just Thought of Something

When I woke up today, about an hour ago. I was feeling incredible. I'm about to get 30K and save my deal. Phew. Then it hit me. I'm about to get 30K! Whoa! In the flash of an instant, that 30K opened up a whole new world of possibilities.

First, a lot of lender in my business want to see that an investor has reserves -- back up money for loan payments, essentially. I haven't had any. So I've had trouble qualifying with these lenders.

But after today, I WILL have some. Whoa. Now I can get them to fund my deals!!!

But that's not all. I realized, that if I could get a loan for this deal at a 9 month term instead of 12, I woudl need less reserves and could use 5K to pay my expenses during the rehab. Meanwhile, my colleauge is making a killer interest rate on the deal and we're all making money!!!

Didn't I just ask, on Tuesday, for a large disbursement of cash so I can pay my bills this month while I do these deals? Whoa. Freaky!!

...And On

The next abundance occurrence today was even more surprising than the hair cut one! (check the previous post for any needed back story).

Prior to heading off the the haircut, I got an email from the mortgage broker looking for a Hard Money Lender for my next two deals. One, is due to close this coming Friday, 10/12. The other on 10/18. So we were in crunch time!

(For those that don't know, a Hard Money Lender is a private person of organization that lends private money to real estate investors to help them purchase and rehab distressed or foreclosed properties -- without using any of the investor's own money!)

His email essentially said that I need to come up with $30,000 in reserves (something that is held and not touched, but can be used as a back up to pay the loan payments when they come due) in order to do the deal. Shit!

Wait. Okay. This has to be possible. I know this deal is mine. I cannot rationally explain it, but I've closed the deal, rehabbed the property, stood in the finished building, met the new tenants and seen the cash flow in my mind. I know it's done.

So before the haircut, I started emailing a few people then had to go.

When I came back from the appointment, a colleague had written back saying "Sure. What do we need to do."

I can't believe it! My deal is saved and I'll have 30K in reserves by end of Thursday. Wooohooo!

The Beat Goes On...

It's Wednesday. Day 3 of this already amazing process. Okay. So at this point I’m not sure whether it’s me and all the abundance work I’ve been doing over the last few month or whether it's the oil itself. If anything, I feel like the oil is accelerating and heightening the work that I have already been doing. Get a load of this….

So I needed a haircut today. Badly (for me). My stylist had moved to New York City in early September and she was the only person who had ever cut my hair consistently well in years. I didn't know where to go or who to trust, without getting gouged in the wallet. A close friend suggested going to the beauty school in North Hollywood and getting a cut there. So I booked an appointment for later that afternoon and went in, unsure what to expect, but surprisingly calm.

It cost me $7. And was the BEST haircut I have EVER had. Hands-down. No dispute.

Sure, it's not money in my pocket. But it helps keep more where it belongs. And it was a go0000od haircut. :)

First YL Customers!

Tonight I showed some oils to some friends, let them smell the Abundance and Lavender oils and taste Peppermint. And they wanted the Abundance oil. So one signed up as a customer and the other as a distributor. What a full day of abundance. Let’s see what happens tomorrow!!

Number 3 & 4 – How Cool!

Okay, now it’s really rolling. I just spoke to my general contractor who is fixing up the house I bought in KC last week. He told me that it was important and that a woman was at the house with a $100,000 pre-approval letter and they wanted to know about how much I was asking. Sweet!!

And then he told me about the house next door on the left being vacant and in need of serious work. I had already asked one of my realtors to investigate the house on the right side and see if they wanted to sell. But I didn’t know the house on the left side was vacant, which is even a better opportunity.

This is all incredible. Now I’d just like to receive a large disbursement of cash this week so I can pay my bills this month while I do these projects!!!

Time to go put more of that oil on!!!

Number 2 - No Way!

When I turned on my computer this morning I got an incredible, unheard-of opportunity. My realtor in Kansas City had received a call regarding a house in a very well-to-do neighborhood, in pristine condition, needing very little work. The house is valued at around $800,000. The bank only wants $408,000. The potential profit after a nice rehab is over $200,000. Maybe even more!

And I haven’t even put my oil on yet today! Although, yesterday afternoon after showering, I did slather it all over myself.

Another coincidence?! I don’t think so.

My First Experience

I just received my oil today and had put in on various spots of my body and had a few sniffs – man it smells good!! Anyways, about an hour later my friend was finishing up a Space Clearing session she was doing -- which, btw, is a cool service -- for the house I just bought.

(For those who don't know, I happen to be a professional real estate investor and I was buying a house to quickly and quietly flip.)

So what happened was that I thought she was going to charge me $250 for this service. But she's only charging $175. So I saved $75! Just hours after putting my oil on.

Coincidence? Maybe…now I'm curious to see what else occurs!

Welcome!

Welcome to the Amazing Abundance Blog!

I started this blog on October 8th, 2007 in order to document and tell the amazing stories of abundance unfolding in my life ever since I began using Young Living's Abundance(TM) oil blend. Originally, the blog existed solely on my computer, in a lonely little Microsoft Word document. But in a fit of inspiration, I knew the blog needed to be published on line. That people all around the world -- both Young Living distributors and not -- needed to read these inspiring stories.

These happenings will BLOW your mind. Truly. So will the oil! ;)

Now before getting into this further, there's a first story to tell. The story of why I purchased the Abundance oil.

I've been a Young Living customer since June 2005, right before I move to Los Angeles, CA. At that time, I purchase three specific bottles of oils: Peppermint, Envision and Highest Potential. I used all three fairly consistently for about a year, putting Peppermint in my water, wearing Envision like a cologne and using Highest Potential on my ankles. And I bought each for their specific qualities, which I will not get into right now.

About 3 weeks ago, I realized I had stopped using them and began using Envision and Peppermint again. Then on October 1st, 2007 I received an email from my dear friend who is a avid Young Living independent distributor. And she's on FIRE with the business. In this email, she forwarded a message from someone in her downline, who shared a story, much like the kind you'll find here, of how the Abundance oil was radically effective people.

At that moment I knew I needed it. See, I've been working with the principles of the teachings of Abraham (Law of Attraction and Art of Allowing and Segment Intending) for over a year now and beginning to have amazing results. But I knew that using the oil could actually heighten and encourage this frequency, or vibration, of attracting abundance. And that has been my theme ever since moving to LA.

So I upgraded from a Young Living (YL) customer to an independent distributor, also knowing that here was a reputable, viable means of attracting massive residual income without selling and doing nothing more than using the product and telling my stories.

And so this blog began. I hope you enjoy it!

Oh, and if you have a story you want me to post, send it over to me and I'll post it into the blog for you.
