Ask and You Shall Receive

The Bible tells us "Ask and you shall receive." I ask for $2,000 a month income for our household. I want this goal working from home with my husband. I believe it can be done since we have done it in the past. We can do it again. I don't want a million dollar home or an expensive car. I want to live simply and sleep as late as I want. I want to take long walks with my dogs and work in the afternoons. We have three sources already set up to accomplish this. Selling Raiza Creme a wonderful moisturizer, selling collector trading cards on eBay and making sellable items on Everquest II. All are enjoyable enterprises that will now start making money. I believe we will reach our goal of $2,000 a month.

Intro

You hear it more and more these days - keep a positive attitude, believe in yourself, you can do whatever you want. You can create your own reality by your beliefs and actions. I have seen it work in my life in the past. Recently things have been hard financially and health-wise; life has it's ups and downs they say. Ask - believe - act and you can have anything you want. It is the believe part that is the hardest for me.

I am a breast cancer survivor. I always believed I would get well and stay well. It has been two and a half years and I am 100% healthy. After surgery I made major life changes - I now eat mainly vegetarian and I exercise four times a week. I am healthier now than any time in my life. I have had one cold in the last three years. I have created my own reality health-wise.

Four years ago my husband and I were living in a four bedroom, 2000 sq ft. house. Now we live in a two bedroom, 1400 sq ft. townhouse. We moved to save money and lower our monthly expenses. This was very stressful and it has taken a long time to adjust. Part of the reason I became sick was this stress. I also had bad eating habits, eating a lot of sugar and processed foods.

We worked on becoming happier in our everyday life and our happy peptides increased. What are happy peptides you ask? Watch the movie, "What the Bleep Do We Know." Surround yourself with happiness! It works wonders. Change your attitude and you change your bodies biology. It worked for both me and my husband.

Now I have health and happiness. One wish remains - financial security. Goal number one is to work from home only in the afternoons. I have other priorities for the mornings and evenings. We have enough resources to allow us to basically do this for the last 15 years. It has become harder lately; partially if not entirely because of our attitude that we can't do it. This journal is to help me turn this around.
