i was answered!

the other day i asked 'any ideas' to the universe, regarding my friend-and-daughter dilemma.

yesterday, this was the quote on Abraham-Hicks website.
"The best thing you could do for anyone that you love, is be happy! And the very worst thing that you could do for anyone that you love, is be unhappy, and then ask them to to try to change it, when there is nothing that anybody else can do that will make you happy. If it is your dominant intent to hold yourself in vibrational harmony with who you really are, you could never offer any action that would cause anybody else to be unhappy. --- Abraham"

how totally awesome is that. i had to say to myself, "self, duh!" then i said "hey thanks! that's awesome, and feels so good."

okay, but i'm going to look a tad silly when she says to me "oh do believe she did this!" and i just sit there, being happy. that will probably be quite awkward, unless i say "hey what's that over there?" a lot more. she's quite clever, though, and i think she will catch on to that rather quickly.

but i CAN set this intention forth right now : when the subject comes up, i will have the perfect way to make light of it. this friend has a great sense of humour, and i have diffused other situations with humour. so be it now with this issue.

here's something fun i just did. i didn't mean to do it, i just did it. or rather, it just did itself while i was sitting there. ANYWAY, look at yourself five years ago, in your mind. hold it for a moment, the fireplace, the bookshelf, the dinner. now open your eyes and see what *today* is. very different, isn't it?

now do this: look at yourself five years from now. look at the fantastic thing you will have. the book you will be reading, but look at it as if it is the now you were looking back from in the previous exercise. make your future self be your now self. THAT is fun! and what a glimpse into your manifested life! unless you accidentally visualized hamburgers that eat people. that would not be a great future. leave that be.

and now i'm going to manifest me some sleep. :)
