Look At That Moon Tonight

What a stunning full moon. I just heard on the news that it's the biggest and brightest moon of the entire year, due to it's proximity to the earth. It's cold (understatement) here in Connecticut but worth freezing a bit to go outside and fully appreciate it. Against the dark winter sky, it's am amazing sight. Last night, the beams streamed into our bedroom around 4 p.m., waking us up. What a gift. Liquid gold, for sure.

My sister-in-law, Dee, just posted on facebook that she's going to go out and dance under the full moon again this month, asking the universe to fill up her wallet and grace her with abundance. Every time she's done this ritual, a bit of money has come her way. And these days, every little bit helps!

Whether you dance for money, or dance for joy, just make sure to dance. As the song says, when you have a chance to sit it out or dance, I hope you dance. In the end, embracing life's small, graced moments is what will have made all the difference.

May your life today be filled with blessings - ps

Rainy Day Money Spell

If it's raining where you are — it's a monsoon here in Connecticut! — now's the time to brave the downpour and attract money into your life. If you already have my book, you know it's #37 in Dancing Under the Full Moon.

Grab your slicker, hat and boots and find a holly bush. Clasp your hands around the main stem and chant three times: "Holly tree, O holly tree, let much wealth come to me."

This ancient spell is considered foolproof in its ability to reverse money problems. You can expect to see a positive change in your finances within three months.

That's worth getting wet for, don't you think?!?!?  Let me know how it works. -- ps

Live Generously

The tragedy in Haiti can't help but make each of us — no matter what our circumstances — feel blessed and rich. I can't even imagine having so little and having it ripped away by an unrelenting force of nature, time and time again, from floods to earthquakes. No water. No food. Mud cakes for sustenance. And yet, amidst it all, we see glimmers of hope. We see thankfulness for simply being alive. We see a generosity of spirit among the survivors and, remarkably, among the missionaries who have been flown out and are eager to return.

What about the rest of us? Even those of us struggling with money worries are living abundantly by comparison. If we look deep, there's money and time to spare, to help someone else. If not the people of Haiti, then the homeless person right around the corner, or the single parent unable to pay next month's rent. And, if we can't find "spare" resources, then let's give from our core. Let's make a sacrifice and make a difference.

According to the laws of attraction (and #57 in my book, Dancing Under the Full Moon), money is a form of energy and it must flow through our lives, not just into it. When we give to others, we're actually making room for more abundance in our own lives.

Sending each of you hope for an abundant and joyful day - ps

Choosing Abundance

In the spirit of full disclosure: my life is pretty comfortable. That doesn't mean, however, I don't worry about money or how we're going to afford to keep all the plates in the air. I often remind myself of the adage: want less or earn more. Easier said than done. Often my life is one of earning less and wanting more!! Call me human. Flawed but human.

What I do know, however, is that when I choose — and I mean choose — to focus on what I have, on the abundance in my life, I actually feel rich. And when I feel rich, I tend to attract more abundance. Classic Laws of Attraction at work. What we believe about our lives . . . what we focus on . . . is what we get more of. Suddenly, a new writing job comes my way. Or I get a "deal" on my Internet service, saving me a few dollars each month. Or an old friend comes back into my life, making me feel rich in a whole different way.

I look around the dinner table on "family day" and appreciate the four kids, three spouses and five grandchildren I've just cooked for. I smile at my sink of dirty dishes, focusing more on playing a game than cleaing up the mess.

My life in abundant. In choosing to embrace that, every day is a bit richer. May yours be also. - ps
