attracting what we want

Between my office and personal stuff, I receive a LOT of emails using four different addresses. Yet I cannot complain. Know why? Because I created that. I send out multitudes of emails since I prefer to work via email rather than phone (faster, clearer, can edit my words, and able to 'e-talk' to people simultaneously). Ergo, many replies come back in that I have to process; I don't mind, because I really like email.

Everything we have, and everything we do, on some level of our subconsciousness, we have created. At some point we have attracted it into our lives ... the good, the bad and the ugly. My mentor Roxanne has taught me about the "Law of Attraction." Perhaps you're familiar with The Secret (and I don't mean Victoria's!) either in book or on video. It's the same concept: "Ask. Believe. Receive. You are a magnet attracting to you all things, via the signal you are emitting through your thoughts and feelings."
If we have a big bank roll, we attracted that. If we have a stinky job, we created it. If we lead a joyful life and own an upbeat disposition, that is what we produced for ourselves, too. If we're crabby, angry and miserable, guess what? No one is doing that. Nothing is doing that TO us. We concocted that attitude (called stinkin' thinkin' is what it's called!) Humans can even create illnesses in their bodies and minds. We can attract good love - or bad. We can make whatever we want to happen, happen ... yes, we are that powerful - or rather - our thoughts are.

We create all of our situations consciously or unconsciously - even the drama. (We've talked about that before, haven't we, snippeteers!?)

Hence, if we don't like a certain part of our lives or selves, it is up to us to alter it. As a teensy dumb example, I could send out less emails, and therefore, not attract so many in return. I could start phoning people in my work to get it done, but then what would I create? The disruptive jingling of an office phone line, more people to call back, and wasting good writing time by being distracted by the phone.

You've heard the familiar adage: "I've created a monster!" ... yes, in some cases, we have. What monster creation would you like to chase away? What would you like to attract into your life?

A SNIPPETS standing ovation to snippeteer Kim Crabill of MD on her new book! Brava!

Kim challenges women to quit hiding, be real with God and each other about the hurts and disappointments and regrets they carry, and let God transform those burdens into blessings.
