THE Roller Coaster Ride of My Life

December 5th, 2009

From Christina: millennium_force

Even though I’ve been to Cedar Point many times, and have been on the biggest and fastest roller coasters in the world, this journey is THE biggest and baddest roller coaster ride of all time.

I was feeling so free, so high for so long. It was just like going up that first big hill on the coaster. With each click-clack, click-clack the excitement got more and more intense. The excitement had time to build and build and build until… WHOOSH!

What a thrill!

But then…that’s it? I mean, that hill was fun, but now what??

Even though I’m an avid believer of Law of Attraction, I’m still amazed when it shows itself so vividly in my life. As I was taking my most recent downward coaster ride into fear, loneliness and depression, my affiliate sales took a huge nosedive. All I saw in my reports were $0, $0, $0 and $0. Which caused me to feel even more fear and more depression. What a freakin’ failure! I have been laid off for 10 months and I’m still not making it?!

Life around me started to look bleak and almost agonizing at times. My son and I were battling it out on an almost minute-by-minute basis. It was a relief (for both of us, I think) on the days he went to pre-school. I started taking my husband’s anti-anxiety medications more often than I care to admit.

And then I started to remember again why I’m here. To enjoy that roller coaster ride. The ups and the downs. And to have FUN with all of this. The world is our playground. We can do anything we desire here. And we could not be more worthy of it.

And you know what? Once I started feeling better, the sales started coming through again. In fact, I had my best week ever last week! My son and I started to get along, our family felt whole again. (It was never NOT whole, it just seemed like that from my screwy perspective.)

I can’t say I’ll never take that ride down into darkness again. I’m sure I will. After all, I’m here to experience all kinds of things in life. Every up, every down is a chance to appreciate where I am and where I’m going. And when I get off this crazy ride, I know I’ll say “I can’t wait to do it again!”

Speaking of Conquering the Fear…

October 22nd, 2009

From Christina:

I think Jenna’s post is timely for me and fits in perfectly with a story I overheard at the grocery store last night. I was standing in line to get Powerball (I didn’t win – darn!) and the cashier was telling the man in front of me this great story. Now, I only heard the last part of it, but I got the gist.

She was saying how her girls wanted to go on this trip but that the trip was $500, which she didn’t have at the time. Then she said, “So then I wondered should I just sign them up for this trip and then trust that the money will show up somehow, or do I tell them they can’t go? Well, I decided to book the trip and have faith that God would come through. And what do you know? Within 4 days I had all the money back. 4 days. And not only that, the company provided the bus, so we didn’t have to pay for that and other great things happened too.”

Now, I’m a big believer in the Law of Attraction, and if you are too, then you’ll recognize this as such a great story of how LOA works. And if you’re more religious, then you’ll identify it as God coming through and providing. Either way, it’s the same result. She booked the trip and had complete faith that things would work out.

And that is what Jenna’s post was all about. You identify what you want. (For us, it’s that we want to be home with our kids, make a good living and have the freedom to do what we want on our own schedules.) Is it scary? Yes because you don’t know how it’s going to happen. But, you’ve got to break through that and TRUST that the Universe (or God or Source, or whatever is the most comfortable for you to identify with) will take care of the “how” and that in the end things will work out. And not only that, they will work out better than you expected.

Don’t believe us? Then keep reading this blog to see how it all unfolds. We don’t really know either, but I have a good feeling in the end it’s going to be better than we could have ever imagined.
