Simple and POWERFUL - Works every time! |

Greetings all,
I'm not even sure where to begin the recording of this manifestation. When I returned from visiting Marilyn in Los Angeles, I finished up some projects to clear out space for new prosperity. I wrapped all that up and then went to Atlanta to explore a new venture. I felt good that everything had cleared out and I was moving forward. I had planned to do some prep work for the trip last week. I did some mental house cleaning and prosperity work with Marilyn also.
now, go back in time....about 3 months ago...It was brought to my attention that my first spiritual mentor, Patricia, from 1994, was experiencing some decline, in mind and body...she will be 80 years old next month. First thing to know about Pat...not only is she a licensed Unity teacher, in her younger years, she was also an actress, a teacher, a boat captain...she was excellent at the helm, piloting vessels from tugboats to steamliners. She has been living alone on a boat for 20+ years....She has always been powerful in her word...she was in fact a spirit guide for me almost 15 years ago, when I was first introduced to the same principles that Marilyn teaches us.
Pat has been feeling challenged by these changes and has been speaking powerfully to overcome. When our minister was speaking to me about all this, I made a commitment that I would reach out to her, knowing the universe would guide me.
Honestly, I avoided it for a couple of months. Each time I saw her, I felt sad. She was still speaking boldly about sailing to Mexico and getting a job at the Coast Guard...I felt a bit overwhelmed by the decline that I was noticing. I did not see how I could help. And I felt hesitation to get involved. I knew in my heart I was not reaching out as I had promised, but I also knew that the universe would guide when the time was right.
Fast forward to 2 1/2 weeks ago...Pat called and wanted to come over to visit me. I said I was busy...At that point I did not know she had been in an auto accident and had no car. She wanted to return some books to me that I had given her 3 years ago. I told her I would meet her at church on Sunday the 16th. Well, I did not do that either and felt a bit sheepish about it. I called her on Wednesday of that week...March 19th. to make amends for not meeting up with her as I had said I would. She wanted me to come pick her up for our evening meditation service. I told her I was on my way to see a client and I would not be coming her way....all true, but... Again, I'm not feeling too good about myself at this point, I know I am still making excuses. Anyway, I finish up early from the client and head over to the church, to read and wait until the service begins. On this particulat evening I am the meditation leader. As I am sitting alone in the church, Pat is suddenly knocking on the front door. Yikes! I think to myself, how did she get all the way over here?!...Ok, universe, I'm getting the message, so alrighty then...We talked a bit and then she took a quick nap before the service. I offered to drive her home. On the way home, she began telling me she felt upset because so many people were challenging her competency, both physically and mentally. So now what? I do not want to affirm anything negative....but now I really can see that she needs assistance. I'm wondering how she even manages to get on and off her boat.
Next day,the 20th. I get a call from our minister...the marina association has decided to ask her to leave, because they are so concerned about her condition. She refused and so they basically evicted her. The minister told me that one of her great nieces was going to come get her and take her with them the next Wednesday (26th)
Now I really feel bad! She is moving and I have missed the boat! I go over to her boat on Saturday the 22nd and help her begin packing. She is feeling sad and furious, but is also looking forward to "visiting" her family. She is the last of 5 siblings and has 32 nieces and nephews and does not have a lot of regular contact with any of them. I am being a good listener now and doing all I can to keep her spirits up. By the time I left I was really regretting not having spent more time with the person who was a spiritual mother to me.
Tuesday the 25th arrives, I have all those projects completed that I mentioned in the beginning of this post. I am ready to prepare for my trip to Atlanta...the phone rings, it's the minister...the local family is not coming to pick up Pat on Wednesday or any other day, they have reconsidered. And ....she must be off the dock by Wednesday....by all appearances she has no where to go.
I told the minister I would immediately begin to affirm a comfortable and safe living arrangement for Pat. My mind went straight to Marilyn's Lesson 3... Accept it Now!
I spent a few minutes in meditation and affirmations. I accepted it in that very moment that Pat was safe and secure and I gave thanks. I had in the back of my mind a retirement residence near us. A very nice place, a place where I would be happy to go to if I were in that situation. I also knew it came with a price tag and Pat lives on a fixed income. I set my affirmation for this place and accepted it as done. Then I began a "google" search for "free senior housing" in our area. Within 2 minutes I was at a website that offered a free 5 day respite care for family members who needed some assisted living arrangements temporarily. So I'm thinking hey this could be good, but where is the place?...probably up in Houston. The company is based in Oregon. After reading this seemingly perfect offer, I sent them an email to inquire. Next I go to the locations page and VOILA! the exact residence I had in mind and had accepted as reality was on the list!
I immediate called them and explained the situation. Then I went over to the residence to see the administrator. I inquired if they really meant it was a free 5 day stay..yes it was! Pat could move in tomorrow, all I had to do was bring her over with her doctors's order! Yeah, ok, so who is her doctor, I don't know. Pat does not go to doctors, she prays and affirms her own healing. I do know that on this particular day she has a friend driving her to apply for a job on the ferry tugboat over across from the peninsula. Pat is convinced that she will get a job and just move her boat another marina....she is sees a possibility to avoid moving away. Please keep in mind, she is nearly 80 yrs old and does not remember breakfast.
I reach them by cell phone and explain to our mutual freind what is going on, Pat has no idea that her family is not coming the next day, and in a way she is kinda looking forward to it...for a visit only, of course. I learn that she does have a doctor wheom she had seen after the car accident. I go over to the doctor's office to begin manifesting the medical order. I speak with the nurse for awhile, she and the Dr. come back, and tells me that, yes Dr. B will write the order, but Pat has to know about it first and consent. I accepted as done right then and there. Next, I'm thinking, how am I going to persuade Pat to come over to the doctor's office on short notice? Again, I affirm it was done, accepted. Next I am about to go out and the nurse comes back in tells me that they had just called Pat before I came in to have her pick up some medications! Now how perfect is that!
Certainly, Pat is surprised to see me when she arrives at the Dr's office. I calmly explain that her family is not coming to get her and watch her face fall in disappointment and then fear...she knows she has to be off that dock the next day. I tell her the plan. She is not too excited about it. The doctor comes in then and we all talk for awhile. Next we go to the retirement residence. She agrees to go for the 5 day "visit", until she can get her boat moved. I continued all this time to accept that Pat was safe, secure and happy in the new surroundings, I told her this was a matter for Spirit and the universe to handle and that I was applying all the same laws she had taught me 15 years ago...that all was in perfect order! She looked at me a bit questionly, and then said "OK"
We moved her in the next day the 27th and I flew out to Atlanta. I am affirming and accepting that we have the financial resources by Monday morning. The admistrator calls on the weekend and asks me what is happening on Monday. I assure her that Pat will be moving in to stay, that money will be there. In the meantime, I am speaking with the minister and other freinds, they are asking me.."what is going to happen to Pat on Monday"? I continue to tell them the resources are on the way. Now, while we are all of like mind, I do sense some doubt from others around me and I am doing all I can to stay in faith for the desired and already accepted outcome.
Sunday morning, I flew back to Houston. I stopped at one of the local furniture stores that often assists people after disasters. I inquired about them donating new furniture for Pat when she moved to the new apartment on Monday down the hall from where she is "visiting". Again, I decided that that action was in alignment with accepting it as done!
I went home and did a Yahoo people search with the assurance and knowing that I could locate a niece or nephew somewhere in the USA. I remembered seeing a return address on an old greeting card envelope I had taken to her before I went to Atlanta. All I could remember is that there was something about "water" in the address. I located a name of a city called Canyon Lake. I'm thinking this must be it! I called and left an extensive message on the voice mail, feeling pretty sure I had the right people. If not, I know they will be moved by this effort I am making who ever they are. LOL...
Next, I go to visit Pat at the retirement residence. By this time, she has been there 4 days and is starting to like the place, the people, she knows she is still in her community of 20+ years... and sees the merit in being there. She is asking what is happening on Monday. I told her, looking her straight in the eye that she would be able to stay, that the universe is taking care of it. All I am thinking about is Marilyn's Lesson #3 Accept it NOW! I'm still knowing and accepting that $2,100 will materailize by the morning.
At 8:30pm, I am driving home, maintaining my confidence about the resources that will be there by the morning. From time to time a little doubt tries to creep in and I release it it. My cell phone rings, it is the person I left the voice mail with in California! yes, it is their Aunt Pat! and they had been wondering how she was and had been trying to reach her on her cell phone for that past few days! they had not seen her in years!
As I was turning into my drive way, she told me that they would send the funds Monday(today)for the retirement residence. These distant great nephews and nieces were rallying together to provide the monthly finances!Most of them had not seen Pat in over 10 years! I called the minister and our freinds, every one slept well last night.
I went today and paid Pat's rent. While she was surprised they had all decided to assist her, I reminded her of the promise I had made to her...that she would be able to stay there, safe, secure and happy.... And that as she had taught me so many years ago that we do not have to know HOW Source will channel our supply, we need only believe and accept is as done! I winked at her as her face brightend up with a huge smile and twinkling eyes, I knew she was feeling connected to Source, as I was.
To be in such an interesting place, between my 2 spiritual mentors in such a short period of time. My mind going back and forth...each taught me the same truths, each had taught me well. There was no other way I could be in integrity in this situation without "walking the talk." This experience was the opportunity to Accept it NOW. Simple and Powerful!
Thank you Pat, Thank you Marilyn, and thank the mental and spiritual Laws of Universe and Divine Mind!
and so it is...amen.
