It might come through a friend sharing a solution, or many friends sharing many solutions
It might come in a moment of sheer wonderful insight
It might fall into place through me taking my attention away from it and getting on with other things
It might come about through some sort of opening or change in the structure of my life
I might realize that I’m actually OK and this is all in my head and human beings are like this

My committment:
Given an insight or a structure, I’ll get started on the work. Until then, I won’t make myself feel wretched about having a big tangled mess of stuff going on. I also won’t overload the system trying to make every change under the sun… I’ll respect the hard work I’m doing and try to keep the load light enough to make some progress. I will try so hard to be patient with myself.

A Good Part Time Job

Here’s what I want:

I am looking for work that will allow me to pay my share of housing costs and eat the necessary amount of food to be healthy. Having this would free me up to pay the best attention to fulfilling my true purpose in life and allow me to have time to work out.
I want part time work, no more that 25 hours per week. I need to take home $350 a week. My gifts include childcare, organization, leadership, problem solving, teaching (I’m an excellent tutor), concretizing visions, kindness, and clarity. I am looking to be a help to anyone who is humane and patient with a sense of humor and an open attitude.

Here’s how I want to get them:

I’d like it to come to me easily and with harm to none. Otherwise, I am open to how I get this.

Ways they could come to me:
This could come to be by someone reading this and thinking that I am someone who can be of help to them; or a friend of someone reading this (or the friend of a friend).
My commitment:

My commitment to this is to work with diligence and integrity and to be profoundly grateful for the chance to support myself while I pursue my greater dream.

Patrons/Investors for The Nine Project
Here’s what I want:
I want compassionately engaged patrons and investors for my project, The Nine. I want someone who wants to bring about the change in children’s perceptions of themselves that I seek to bring about through The Nine. I want someone who wants to be an important part of bringing this about and can buy into the vision and enhance it.

Here’s how I want to get them:
I want someone to visit my blog site http://happywalk.ology.com/ to learn more about what The Nine is about or my promotional site http://sites.google.com/site/the9forkidseverywhere/ and contact me to know more about what I intend to do.
Ways they could come to me:
I would love to be a guest on a podcast devoted to spiritual ideas and endeavors.
My commitment:
To work diligently with anyone who can be engaged in bringing this world changing vision into reality and to share the blessings freely with all who enlist in this endeavor.

A logo for The Nine
Here’s what I want:
I am seeking a graphic artist to create a logo for The Nine, who is willing to delay payment or provide this work without money compensation.
Here’s how I want to get them:
I would like this to come easily to me and with harm to none.
Ways they could come to me:
I can see someone who is talented but untested who would like to add to their portfolio. Or an established graphic artist who likes to or wants to do a charitable piece of work for a project related to the spiritual lives of children.
My commitment:
As with a patron or investor I am committed to work diligently with anyone who can be engaged in bringing this world changing vision into reality and to share the blessings freely with all who enlist in this endeavor.

I’m trying really hard not to hold a grudge that I still haven’t found the perfume of my dreams, or indeed any perfume at all, but I’m willing to let bygones be bygones, because I need something much, much bigger from you over the next couple of weeks, and I can see that you might have been shepherding your resources in preparation for this request, which, being the Universe, you could totally see coming.

Please, dear Universe, I need the following superpowers over the next two weeks:

Shao-lin Organizational Skills, so that I’m on top of all the prep, scheduling, and management of three people going back to (three different)schools–with associated supplies ($672 worth of nursing school textbooks!), music lessons, bento-box preferences, and forms to be signed.

Inexhaustible Stamina, so that I don’t mind not sleeping while anyone needs me to stay up and talk through the hypomania while the new medication takes hold.

Power to Emit a Cloud of Enveloping Calm and Orderly Peacefulness, to de-escalate all the tension being generated around the house.

And that whole White Tornado-Whoosh-The-House-Is-Clean-The-Laundry-Is-Done-The-Cookies-Are-Made-and-Everything-Smells-So-Nice deal would also come in handy.

Finally, I’d like the power to keep anything drastic or complicated from happening at work, or else the power to bilocate. You can decide, dear Universe. And I’ll give them back gladly, and relapse into mild-mannered me when I don’t need them quite so much.

Also, don’t forget everybody else here.

I am observing with interest the resistance I am having to doing this. It totally makes sense to me that this would work and yet my emotional reaction adds “it works for *everyone but me*”. I find that I am afraid to do an ad because whatever I ask for, I’ll get the opposite, and probably in a painful way.

So I think I’m going to have to try it out with some smallish thing that would still be noticeable when it happens. Sort of overwhelmed at the moment, what with the domino-effect financial shitstorm my husband and I are facing now, so hard to think what to choose. Will continue pondering and hope to have maybe a couple by your next invitation to post VPAs.

Thanks!

I would like to delve deeper into the connection I have with my blog followers. I feel that I need to tap into the energy they are communicating to me through their comments, visits to the site, content they seem most intrigued by and so on.

How This Might Happen:

I will draw up a clearer mission and then center every post around that. I purchased a dry erase board this morning so that I can brainstorm how to fulfill the needs of my reader in a visual way. Being in the art world has made me a very VISUAL LEARNER.

My Commitment:

Be flexible at all costs. I will not assume that mistakes won’t happen along the way. Hindsight is 20/20.

Feels good to say this. Thanks, Have et al.

Don’t all the major religions have some version of “Ask and you shall receive”? Without going into the “Law of Attraction” stuff (which I don’t really like, either), thinking and writing down the one (or other small number) of things that you truly need, thinking and writing about possibilities, seems to bring about a certain clarity.

I’ve discovered, after living with my spouse for nearly 14 year (Anniversary on Wednesday. Yay!) that even knowing each other as well as we do, I have to tell him what I want and need from him. Such as “I don’t want solutions right now, dear, I need sympathy and a hug, because I’m feeling down.” or “I’m trying very hard not to nag or criticize and please don’t take it that way, but I need to tell you about an action of yours that’s bothering me. Can we peacefully find a resolution?”

Ask and you shall receive.

So in that spirit, here’s what I need: I’m two terms away from finishing my Master of Arts, and we’re seriously running low on funds. I’ve been trying to find a job, but with not much success. So I need to turn it around. I need income, period.

How this might happen: Someone might offer me a job. Someone might offer me some writing, editing, or possibly teaching work, even if it is temporary. Some other opportunity might come up.

My Committment: To be open to any and all possibilities, rather than fixating on a job. To in the meantime pursue what I’m passionate about, and trust that it will bring me what I need before something really untoward happens, such as bankruptcy.

Cheers, everyone.

What I want now:

Enough clarity to take a concrete step toward dancing/art, movement/creativity classes and retreats.

To stop second (and third, and fourth) guessing myself around whether I’m “qualified” to do such a thing

How this might present itself:

Divine intervention

A post-Shiva Nata epiphany (aka Divine intervention)

A post-Nia ephiphany (see above)

Someone I know could ask me to teach a class or lead a retreat

Someone I don’t know could read this and ask for same

My dates available and dates that space is available at the local retreat center could line up, and all my friends would volunteer to come be my guinea pigs when I present the idea

Some way that I totally can’t see through this fog

My commitment:

To keep preparing the work: the dancing, the arting, the brain research that connects the two, etc. while I’m waiting

To pursue those things that present themselves even if it scares me like crazy

WHAT I WANT:

More subscribers to my Moon’s Letter (e-newsletter).
It would also be lovely if folks contacted me about a gift (introductory) creativity coaching session.

HOW IT COULD HAPPEN:

Some of my Right People could be reading this! Folks could also find my blog/Moon’s Letter sign-up info through facebook, twitter, and myspace. I send out a lotta e-mails, so my e-mail sig could lure ‘em in.
I’ve sent out a note to my current e-list, so subscribers/gift session sign-uppers could come from that. I’m joining a few ning groups. I have a tip sheet from the no-hype marketing guru Robert Middleton re: building an e-list…I could get subscribers through implementing thangs on the tip sheet. I’m being interviewed on a radio show this week and I’m the “guest writer” for a friend’s e-newsletter…both are spots where my Right People may be waiting for me.

Then there are always Wild Cards! I am very willing to be surprised.

MY COMMITMENT:

Delighting myself first: having riotous fun writing it!! Releasing this strange creature from the sea every new and full moon, no matter how much my perfectidemon snarls and wails about “quality.” Spreading my gospel of glitter online and offline all da time.

My personal ads to do with finding a new job have not been going well at all. Possibly this is because I’m looking for a job because I ought to, not because I want to. Well, I need the money, but I absolutely don’t want to relinquish being self-employed. Today I’m putting my efforts into making a living in a different way, so here’s my ad about that.

What I Want:
To work part-time as a massage therapist.
Specifically, by giving seated massages to people who would not necessarily enjoy going to a salon and getting undressed.

How I Want to Get It:
Through word of mouth.
Once I’ve made contact with my very first customers, I want them to be happy with my treatments, and to be willing to pass along the good word to their friends and colleagues.

My Commitment:
I will not be afraid to let people know that I am offering this service.
I will do my utmost to connect with my Right People – by cycling around my neighbourhood delivering flyers, by delivering posters to local businesses, and in any way that works!

I’m keeping my fingers crossed on this one. Now to go and design some irresistible flyers…
