The Universe will never fail you

The Universe will never fail you. I promise you this.

I’d like to leave it at that, but I just know that someone is out there saying, “Yeah, right.” That someone used to be me, even though the Universe has provided for me countless times.

The thing is, the Universe always provides for us. Ask, believe and receive. Three simple words, that can change your life.

ASK. When you feel a desire for something, you’re asking the Universe for it. This can be good and bad. Which is why it’s SO important to be aware of what you’re asking for. Don’t just say, “I wish I had a car” or “I wish I had a boyfriend.” Believe me, you’ll get what you’re asking for and it may not be near what you truly want. Be specific!! “I wish I had a perfectly running, black, 1968 Corvette.” “I wish I had a loving, attentive boyfriend who likes the same things I do.” See the difference? You can ask the Universe for ANYTHING. Financial abundance. Perfect health. The perfect job/career. Love. Peace. World peace. The list is limitless.

BELIEVE. You have to believe that what you desire is already yours. Feel it. Know it. Live it. If you’re seeking a better job, visualize yourself already in that job. See yourself doing the duties required. See yourself receiving your paycheck. Going to work every day. Every morning when you wake up, imagine that you are getting ready to go to that job. You’ve got to FEEL it. The Universe responds to your energy. The energy that you put out there, with your requests. If you want a new job, but you think that you won’t get it, you’re sending conflicting signals (energy) to the Universe. The second that you tell the Universe you want a new job, that new job is created. Just for you. When your energy lines up with that new job, it will be yours. Believe it is yours!

RECEIVE. This is the most important part of all. So many people have desires, yet they shut themselves off from them. If you don’t believe you are worthy, then you won’t receive it. If you are in need of money, and ask the Universe for help, and then someone comes along and offers you money… but you turn it down, for whatever reason (pride, embarrassment, etc)… then you are not allowing yourself to receive. When the Universe gives us what we desire, it may come in many forms. Don’t ever limit the ways that these gifts will come to you. Allow yourself to receive, and always, always be grateful.

It is we who fail ourselves, not the Universe. We place limits on ourselves and are afraid to trust. If we don’t trust, we will never receive. What are you waiting for? Make your desires known. Give them life. And allow yourself to receive. : )

Love and Light to you!

A Quick Note

Just a quick note to say that I have been away far too long and I hope that I’m back to stay. : ) It’s been a long time… a year and a half, I think. I have learned so much in that time, grown so much. Had hard times, great times, and all those times inbetween.

For those of you who find your way here to my blog, I hope that I can offer you something good. My stories aren’t always happy ones, but that’s what life is all about; the ups and downs and how to get through them.

I’ve been re-reading some of my past blogs and I can’t believe how much things have changed. All for the better! : )

Thank you for visiting, and I look forward to sharing again!

Love & Light to you all!

Will I Ever Believe In Promises?

I must’ve been very young when I stopped believing in promises, because I don’t ever remember believing in them. The ironic thing is, promises mean a lot to me. And I think that when I say ‘promises,’ I’m also speaking about commitment. They’re basically the same thing, right? I believe that if someone is going to promise (commit) to something, they should honor that promise. But it rarely happens.

People close to me have always broken their promises. Always. That’s why I have this dream, that someday, someone, will keep their promise. That they will respect and love me  enough to do that. I’m not sure that day will ever come, though. I keep my promises to other people, and I just don’t know why I can’t get the same respect in return. Why is that, do you think?

Broken promises hurt. This past week, I’ve been dealing with a very deep hurt. A broken promise. I feel very betrayed, lied to, taken advantage of. Every time I think about it, my entire being aches with pain. I haven’t felt this deep of a pain in a very long time. On the inside, I am feeling very insecure and raw. On the outside, though, I am able to maintain my positive and cheerful attitude. I am able to act as if nothing is wrong. It hasn’t been easy, and I don’t know why I do it. I thought that this person was the one person who wouldn’t betray me. I wanted to believe; maybe I even did. Maybe that’s why it hurts so badly.

As I deal with yet another broken promise made to me, I wonder if I will ever believe. And that makes me sad. Because I want to believe. I want to believe in people; I want to trust people. I want to let people get close to me, know me, and not worry that I’ll get hurt.

How does one believe again? I am trying so hard to keep my heart open, to not let anger, fear and resentment take over my soul. I visualize love flowing through my being, filling me up, pushing away the pain. But when I am idle, like now, it’s a losing battle.

The Doggie Inn

It’s been two and a half weeks since I did my last post. (Sounds like a confession, doesn’t it?)

My last post was about fostering a dog that I’d really grown to love. Well, she has since been adopted out to a great, loving family and I’ve been told she’s very happy. Yay! I realized that no matter how badly I wanted to keep her, I just couldn’t give her everything that she needed. I’m okay with that. :)

Since then, we have fostered two more dogs. An adorable little puppy and, currently, a black lab mix. The puppy definitely brought more life into our home, I tell ya! Not to mention mess: pee puddles, doggie toys and shredded ankles and wrists. He was quite the guy! I knew he would get adopted quickly, due to being so cute and cuddly.

Baby Girl, the lab that we currently foster has been with us for almost two weeks. I’m praying that she will go to the right home, because it’s taken us this long just to help her be comfortable and learn to trust again a little bit. I am attached to her, I admit. It’s just so hard not to be. When we first got her, it was an incredible effort just to get her to stand up because she was so full of fear. Playful? No way. Affectionate? Oh yes… sooo incredibly affectionate. To get her outside into our yard, and back inside the house, we had to carry her. It wasn’t that she wasn’t capable of walking. She just was too afraid to.

I’m thrilled to say that now that she’s been with us for these two weeks, she is starting to play a little, lets us know when she wants to go outside, she comes in on her own, and she even gives kisses. :) That may not sound like much, but it really is. She went from being a terrified dog who dropped to the floor instantly, to a dog who instantly stands up and wags her tail when she sees her leash. Yay!!

Letting her go will be hard, but I know it has to be done. Not for just my benefit, but for hers. I’m beginning to understand why my boss does this everyday, why she can’t say no to a newly rescued dog, and why it is so hard for her to let them go. She cares. And now I care. :)

The Cat Lady Wants A Dog

Yes, you read that right. No one can believe it, myself included. Me? With a dog?

One of my bosses rescues dogs. She then finds loving and caring homes to adopt them to. Dogs come in and go out her door every single day. LOTS of dogs. I give them attention when I’m able to, because well, it’s hard not to. So many of them have been abused, abandoned, or just completely neglected. It’s very sad, on hard on the spirit to see this. I don’t know how my boss does it, and I commend her loving, giving, generous spirit!

Well, one day not too long ago, she had a dog brought to her, after being found at the dump. At first glance, I thought, “what a sad looking dog.” She was unkempt, dirty, and very, very scared. I really didn’t think much about her as I continued working, but later on, as I was able to be in the same room with her more, I caught myself looking at her. Again and again. For the life of me, I couldn’t figure out why. It wasn’t long before the dog started coming to me for affection. Even as scared as she was, she was just begging for love. As the days went by, I would give her lots of love every time I saw her at work. As I began to work more hours, I also began to… you guessed it. Grow attached to the dog. I began to really look forward to going to work, just to visit with her! I didn’t realize how attached I was to her until I had a day off work. I missed her.

It hasn’t really taken all that long for both of us to become attached to each other. Two weeks, maybe. Let me tell you, I am not a dog person. I am a cat person. I like dogs, but I’ve never wanted one of my own. Until now. I was able to convice my boss to let me take this little doggie home with me for a while. To help socialize her more; to get her outside for a while; to introduce her to my son and bf. hehehehe She took to my son instantly. As for my bf, that took a little coaxing, but the dog did start taking to him.

Today, I’ve brought her home again with me. She won’t leave my side and watches my every move. I feel such an unusual attachment with her. I want to give her all the love that she’s craving. That she so deserves. The thing is, my bf doesn’t want a dog. Yet, he says. When “yet” will end, I have no idea. But I know one thing, I’m not giving up on this dog. She’s not the most beautiful dog you’ve ever seen, and she really doesn’t smell the best, despite having a bath, but there’s just something about her. Maybe it’s because I feel that she didn’t ask to be treated the way she has been, and she deserves to be treated so much better. And I know that I can give her that. I want to give her that.

Time will tell on what happens. I’ll be talking with my bf more about her. And bringing her home to visit more. I’ll keep you updated. I wonder… can the cat lady turn into a dog lady? :)
