Here’s an awareness that has been several years in coming…it’s been floating around the edges of my consciousness, but I’ve never been willing to admit it before.

When something good happens to me financially, I am afraid to tell anyone lest they think that my financial fortunes have changed and I am no longer broke. I’ve been embarrassed to share good turns of fortune because I was afraid that I’d squander the good fortune and be back in the same broke place again next month, only other people would assume that I was now better off. Which is really just another way of saying that I don’t feel like I deserve to be any better off and I insist on thinking of myself as broke.

Or broken.

None of which is true. I am NOT broke OR broken. I’ve always had enough to pay my bills. I’ve always done what I needed to do and a lot of what I wanted to do. Refusing to acknowledge the good things that have come my way is arrogant and ungrateful of me.

So today I say thank you – thank you to every person who has done me a kindness; thank you to the universe for always making sure that I have enough; and thank you to myself for being willing to acknowledge the truth.

Yesterday (Wednesday) I was helping a student to get organized and felt my eye twitching. It has been twitching frequently of late. A sign of stress; that I am not in my sweet spot. I am overloaded. And I am. So, while he was busy and I was observing I took some deep breaths and entered mindfulness. I entered the moment. I relished in the power of now. And it was amazingly relaxing. So much easier to get there and harness that power since I have consciously practiced for 28 days.

@Susan: How awesome that you can shift into presence so much more readily now. After only a month. I’m celebrating with you.
