Manna From Heaven - Part 1 Early on in my newly awakening spiritual journey, I was living literally from penny to penny. On one such occasion I was on the phone with my MasterMinding partner, Irma, trying to formulate a request for a solution to the financial difficulty I was facing. With no job in sight, and having expended everything I had on publishing and promoting my first book, I was literally penniless. The door bell rang, and it was a young man going door-to-door to sell magazines for some worthy organization. With the phone craddled on my shoulder still pressing against my ear, I told him I would not be able to contribute to his organization today as I didn't even have a penny to my name. He scoffed, saying that I didn't need to lie to get rid of him. My purse was sitting in the front hallway by the door. I reached inside and pulled out my billfold opening it for him to see. I added that just yesterday, I had taken every penny out of my five year old son's piggy bank to get groceries. He apologized and quickly turned on his heels to leave as if I had some kind of lethal virus he could catch! Irma, who had been listening to this entire conversation said, "Wow, what a way to fake HIM out." After a moment of silence on my part she said, "That's not true is it?" I had not shared with her how desperate my situation really was for fear of scaring her away, too. But now that she'd heard the conversation, I admitted to her that I really did not have a single cent in my purse or bank account. She took a few moments to collect herself, and then she asked me to tell her what I really wanted so she could SEE and believe it for me as my MasterMind partner. From my soul, I heard myself ask for a reprieve. I had expended so much energy taking my first book around the country that I was now experiencing much difficulty with CFS - Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I could barely think about getting a job. For the first time in my life, I felt my most heartfelt desire come from the deepest part of my heart as I answered her: "I just want to be provided for so I can get well." And in that moment, I felt the "click." I knew I had been heard, and that all would be well. Irma agreed to see for me that I would be taken care of. Thirty minutes later, the doorbell rang again. It was Irma! She had driven across town to personally hand me fifty dollars in cash and told me to go get some groceries for us. After she left, I laid down with my son, and we both took a nap. It was the first time in months I didn't have money terrors, and I slept in total peace. I absolutely did not know how it could possibly happen that I would or could be taken care of without going out and getting a job ... I just knew everything was going to be alright. Several days later, "out of the blue" another friend called me to tell me she just "felt the need" to give me some financial help. She wrote me a check for $150, enough to take me through several weeks of groceries. Within two weeks, my ex-fiancé called one night "out of the blue," and we patched things up. He wanted me to go to counseling with him, and by the second counseling session we turned a corner and felt ready to set a date to get married. He took care of all of my medical needs and provided a living, while I continued to build my dream of speaking and writing to make a difference. It took several years of working with a variety of alternative health specialists before I felt well enough to work full days on my dream of being a stay at home mother while building my speaking business. When it's answers you seek, seek the silence first. When you receive clarity about what you would actually prefer, then you ask another to join with you in seeing and believing with you and for you. Here is the movie I created to help people with busy minds get quiet to hear the still small voice. Please turn on your speakers and make the time to relax into this short movie:
