Hello everyone,

Well the last few weeks have been excessively busy (spoken as if most of the rest of you aren’t in the same situation) so I am behind in my sending of conversations. I have received a few more comments… thank you! I was in the middle of coming up with a way to review and send out the responses when several of you suggested that I should start a blog and post conversations and responses so it is easier for everyone. They even suggested blog sites to get started. I don’t believe in coincidences, so obviously the Source is suggesting something. Hence (hence?… okay, so I am a proponent of Middle and Old English, inditen me), my research has begun on blogging.

So, on to our third conversation…

Conversation 3:

We ask help from the Source all the time. And lots of times we lament that we do not receive an answer fast enough. Yet, the Source answers us immediately and puts clues out for us everywhere. It is not the fault of the Source if we refuse to see or receive the help sent to us. It is our choice. Here is such an example of help sent.

One night Dama and I were playing Junior Monopoly (the computer version). Dama had played before, it was my first time. I had sighed and grudgingly agreed to stop what I was doing (which of course was waaay more important than what Dama wanted to do) and play. We picked cars and started the game. She was very enthusiastic. I was thinking I didn’t want to play any more than 1 or 2 games. We continued. It became apparent about halfway through the game someone might have abundance and focus issues, and it wasn’t my daughter. I started paying attention to what she was saying and what I was thinking…

Dama		Me		Observation		Resolution
Ooo, look at Mr. Monopoly’s money stash. I’m going to get that!		I hadn’t even noticed where Mr. Monopoly’s money stash was. I saw dollars disappearing but didn’t know where they were going.		Dama was playing to win, I was marking time.		No matter what you do, do it with joy and with the best of your ability. And keep your eyes open for upcoming opportunity.
I hope I get a free ticket booth!		What’s a free ticket booth?		Dama was informed of the game’s possibilities, I was not.		It’s always best to do your research first before you jump into the game, whatever the game is.
I ate your ticket booth and now I have a bridge – that’s worth twice as much when you land on it!		Geez! That’s the second one of those she’s gotten. I hope she doesn’t eat any more of my tickets booths.		Dama was being goal driven, I was being fear driven. I was forgetting to focus on what I wanted (some bridges of my own).		It does no good to worry about what you might lose or what terrible thing might happen. For things to get better, your current circumstances must change. In adversity lies the opening for change and change brings about great opportunity.
Mommy! You’re almost out of money! I planned to land on your ticket booth to get you some money so we could keep playing.		Hmmm, how does one plan to land on someone else’s ticket booth? And who wants to keep playing?		Dama was recognizing the advantage of the situation even though on the surface it looked like a disadvantage. I wasn’t even aware there was an advantage.		Don’t focus on what you didn’t like about a situation. Remember that there is duality in everything. If there is a disadvantage, there is also an advantage. It’s up to us to look for and ferret out the advantage.
Yea! I won! Let’s play again!		Good, that game is over. Hopefully the next one will be quick.		Dama was enjoying the moment and not hurrying towards the future. I was barely noticing the now and already planning what to do when this was over.		It is vitally important to celebrate your accomplishments instead of rushing off to the next targeted objective. Recognize achievements. Don’t rush the future.

It was a very enlightening couple of games. Dama won both of them, although I did better the second time around as long as I was thinking more goal oriented, positive thoughts. I started to catch up in the middle of the second game, then Dama ate one of my ticket booths and then another. Guess what happened… no really, I’m sure you can guess…it’s extremely predictable. Before I could catch myself I thought, “Geez, if she eats any more of my ticket booths there is no way I’ll win.” I didn’t catch my negative thought trend until it was too late (when my bank showed $6), and she won again. Interesting.

I can remember at one time being extremely competitive. I used to focus all my attention on the game/issue/situation and usually I won/resolved/or came out on top of whatever it was. What’s the difference now? Now I choose to focus on life (not the good stuff, but the niggling everyday issues) or rather the things that interrupt the creation of my life the way I would prefer it to be.

So what the hey hoo did I learn while playing with my daughter? What lesson (answer to my prayer, or gift of help sent) was the Source supplying? Quite a basic one really. The Source is outside of time and is ever abundant. The Source is capable of answering our every need and desire. But it’s up to us to recognize and receive those answers as they are given. If we allow the 10,000 things of life to distract us, how will we see the windows/doors open and paths laid out? We have to be aware of our level of awareness (now I know why Oriental writings sound so cryptic). Just think! The newest way to monitor your positive abundance quotient, play Junior Monopoly with a child.

I love you all,

Donna
