Giving and receiving is an energy exchange. This applies to compliments as well. Saying thank you after someone says something nice about you is you receiving and accepting their kind words. Money is also an energy exchange. Don't short yourself by giving out everything for free.
Do not charge less than what you are worth in business. Doing things for free blocks the natural movement of energy and may prevent you from accepting opportunities where you are compensated for your value. People are more apt to associate higher value with products or services they purchase. This also applies to relationships, friendships, and marriages.
When you love yourself and know your worth you will not accept anything less! Let the abundance flow!

"Forgiveness allows us to be fully present in this moment,
right here, right now. Forgiveness enables us to wholeheartedly embrace what is
and to be at peace with our past and fully engaged with the present. Making
peace with our past is the most immediate way we can experience the abundance
that is our birthright. Without forgiveness there is always something pulling
us out of alignment with ourselves and with life; it is an energy drain in our
system.
Until we have made perfect peace with all that has occurred
in our life, and with all the people who have played a part in it, we deny
ourselves the full richness of our true abundance. Forgiveness is a gift we
give to ourselves. It frees up the energy we had invested in making another, or
ourselves, wrong. Ultimately, forgiveness is letting go of the illusion that
something actually ever went wrong." - TJ Woodward

Yellow was the theme tonight on my walk. I sprained my ankle Monday and have been having a rough week! I've been down on myself and not as upbeat as usual. The walk was rather gimpy and slow but I still made it outside!
I saw the color yellow EVERYWHERE: painted doors, trash bins, flowers, houses, cars, signs, bikes... sometimes the things we notice are not random. This is what yellow means in color therapy:
- Personal power and fulfillment, abundance, courage and self-confidence.
- The color yellow has stood for wisdom and intellect throughout the ages. It aids logic, memory, concentration, will-power and communication.
- Yellow is full of creative and intellectual energy. A "sun color", it makes us feel happy and optimistic. People that suffer from seasonal disorders and become depressed in winter months should try adding some yellow to their wardrobe and environment. It lifts the soul.
- Creativity - Expansive and free to do and be all that we can be. Helps you feel expressive, curious, and experimental.
- It helps you go through changes, such as adjusting to a new job, or moving to a new place, or new school.
- Cheerful, joyful, and friendly, yellow promotes optimism.
Not Enough Yellow:
Too little yellow, and we can feel isolated and develop low self esteem, lack courage to try new things, and become insecure and depressed. We blame others when things do not go our way. A lack of yellow could result in becoming rigid, cunning, possessive, defensive, and emotionally aloof.
Yellow is exactly the color I needed to see!! What colors have been popping up in your life lately?

I finished another book this week! If it resonates with you
go ahead and buy it. Read a few pages and if it doesn't make sense to you go
ahead and put it back on the shelf. You may not be ready to read it yet
at this time in your life. (and that is quite alright!) I purchased the book a
few years ago and it was over my head but pulled it back out a few weeks ago and couldn't put
it down!!
A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose- Eckhart Tolle
With his bestselling spiritual guide The Power of Now,
Eckhart Tolle inspired millions of readers to discover the freedom and joy of a
life lived "in the now." In A New Earth, Tolle expands on these
powerful ideas to show how transcending our ego-based state of consciousness is
not only essential to personal happiness, but also the key to ending conflict
and suffering throughout the world. Tolle describes how our attachment to the
ego creates the dysfunction that leads to anger, jealousy, and unhappiness, and
shows readers how to awaken to a new state of consciousness and follow the path
to a truly fulfilling existence.
A Few Important Passages That Struck Me:
"The past lives in you as memories, but memories in
themselves are not a problem. In fact, it is through memory that we learn from
the past and from past mistakes. It is only when memories, that is to
say, thoughts about the past, take you over completely that they turn into a
burden, turn problematic, and become part of your sense of self. Your
personality, which is conditioned by the past, then becomes your prison.
Your memories are invested with a sense of self, and your story becomes
who you perceive yourself to be. This "little me" is an
illusion that obscures your true identity as timeless and formless Presence."
"If the thought of lack--whether it be money,
recognition, or love--has become part of who you think you are, you will always
experience lack. Rather than acknowledge the good that is already in your
life, all you see is lack. Acknowledging the good that is already in your
life is the foundation of all abundance. The fact is: Whatever you think
the world is withholding from you, you are withholding from the world.
You are withholding it because deep down you think you are small and that
you have nothing to give."
"Your life has an inner purpose and an outer purpose. Inner purpose concerns Being and is primary. Outer purpose concerns doing and is secondary. Your inner purpose is to awaken. It is as simple as that. You share that purpose with every other person on the planet-- because it is the purpose of humanity. Your inner purpose is an essential part of the purpose of the whole, the universe and its emerging intelligence. Your outer purpose can change over time. It varies greatly from person to person. Finding and living in alignment with the inner purpose is the foundation for fulfilling your outer purpose. It is the basis of true success. Without alignment, you can still achieve certain things through effort, struggle, determination, and sheer hard work or cunning. But there is no joy in such endeavor, and it invariably ends in some form of suffering."
**This book will really make you question life and what you are doing each day! We all have a purpose on this Earth. It's your job and duty to spread your strengths with the world!
