Your words are so true and so wise, and this is very much a part of my continued learning – to value myself enough to say that I am worthy of receiving. I will continue to open my heart to these feelings.

Thank you, again, for your kind and quick response, and I will look forward to staying connected and learn together.

Have a beautiful weekend as well…….

with all sincerity,

I have come to realise that a lot of my issues with money have been over valuing myself enough to believe that I was worthy of receiving and keeping money.

It is an ongoing work in progress, as I form new habits and beliefs and actually practise some of the phenomenal teachings I have come across recently.

You sound as if you have totally found your passion in life and I celebrate that with you.

I recently found my passion and have been able to combine that into a business- which is healthy chocolate.

Total passion for what you are doing seems to be very key to this whole process, particularly if what you are doing enables you to JUST BE YOU, where you don’t have to pretend and people love and accept you for who you are.

Thank you so much for reaching out and sharing. Please drop me a line.

With abundant blessings.
Amanda

My name is Janie Horton-Ramirez, and I love your website and your messages that I have been reading. I am a pianist and composer, creating music that has been used in healing capacities for several years, and you can see more about me and my music on my website http://www.metaxy.org. I just wanted to give you a little introduction of me. I’m feeling led to share something with you that has just transpired, so here goes:

I am always amazed how timing that is SO perfect plays out in my life. Ever since I was young, I have known when I am on the path that is best for me because the timing and circumstances were perfectly placed beyond human capabilities.

Well, I have just experienced this same type of a moment of perfect timing just within the last hour, bringing your website into my path.

I am a woman, mother and a wife who has also been struggling with the conversation about money, especially within the last few months. I have been very blessed throughout my life on many levels, and I have also survived some very painful moments in my life, but I have always believed in looking for a positive message of learning in each of these moments, and I also truly believe that what you give out in the Universe will come back to you ten-fold. And, this has happened in my life many times over.

I began a home business several months ago to boost our family’s earnings while I still maintain my full-time job in a law office, and opening this new business has been a huge learning experience for me, especially in the conversation of money. What I have been learning is that it is SO very easy for me to give to others – but, I have come to realize that it has been difficult for me to receive abundant financial compensation for the business goods, services and talents that I possess. I was feeling an inner conflict that, somehow, as a spiritual person, I should not be desirous of an abundance of money flow into my life. Part of this realization came about in a BIG way when I realized that I had set up my home business website, and I had not even created a method to receive payment for my products! It was a very telling moment for me as part of my new awareness. (I have totally resolved this now with PayPal!)

What has become totally clear for me is that it is not only “ok” for me to receive financial abundance, but it is my responsibility to receive this so that I can open my ability to serve in a much greater capacity for others in my life – my family, charitable efforts and the world at large.

So, this leads up to this morning. I had a very strong feeling that I needed to create a “receiving of financial abundance” poster – something visual for me to have in front of me each day. I found several pictures and printed them in a circle that flows like this – Janie giving, the setting up of a crystal pattern that draws abundance, praying for abundance with faith to God, being heard by God and the Angel of Abundance, an image of the energy as abundance is being passed to a human spirit, the picture of St. Francis of Assisi receiving abundance from heaven, and finally the full circle if Janie receiving”. I was focusing on this when I received an email from a very sweet girl, someone from my past from whom I had not heard for awhile, and this email included the same picture that you have posted below on your website of the angel sitting in heaven pouring out the stars down below. The message with the picture said, “God has seen you struggling. God says it’s over. A blessing is coming your way. I am giving you 600 million angels to take care of you – send them to 10 friends, including me, and you will have good news in 10 minutes.” It was SUCH a beautiful message – so, I sent it out to the girl who sent it to me plus 9 other friends and family.

Here’s the full circle of this story – One of my friends who had received this email called me and said, “Janie, you won’t believe this, but I was just looking at the same picture of this angel on a website I found called, ‘www.angels of abundance.com’. I said, “You’re kidding!” And, of course, it was true! (Plus, this friend happens to be from England as well!) Your website showed up within 10 minutes of the email that I had received with the same angel picture………incredible!

As I began to read your own struggle of receiving money into your life and the visualizing you have been doing so diligently, as well as keeping an Abundance Journal (I also have a Gratitude Journal), I felt strongly that I needed to reach out and communicate with you. My apologies for this long “comment”, but I would like to learn with you as you open the channels of receiving abundance. My home business is completely about sharing the same opportunity with others in learning how to create the lives of freedom and abundance for themselves, and as you can see, I have enjoyed being the first and greatest student of this!

I would love to hear back from you with regard to all of this, and I would love to hear from others as they are learning as well with regard to receiving abundance and using it wisely to create a better place for their families and the world.

I have two websites – one for my home business which is http://www.choosethismoment.com, and one for my music work (that I mentioned before) which is http://www.metaxy.org.

I would be very interested to hear your feedback on these as well. Thank you for your time, and thank you for creating this beautiful website for all of us to enjoy and from which to learn.

I wish for you a very blessed day with many to follow!
Always in peace,
Janie Horton-Ramirez

Have just read Jeannie’s poem and i think it’s beautiful as well, and very true! I totally believe all that it says.
Well done Jeannie !

Love & best wishes,

I have also been very aware when money has come in to cover things I have wanted to do.

Gratitude is a key factor in all of this. Notice and be thankful. It really does seem to be that the more I focus on good stuff, the more of it comes into my life.
With abundant blessings.

I am slowly relearning that it’s okay to love money and that it’s okay to want ‘things’. Because of these struggles with money, I’m currently writing a book called Dear Money because I want people to become friends with money and not feel bad because they want to bring it into their lives.

I say, keep asking for it and truly believe that you deserve it, because you do. One thing I do to remind myself of how deserving I am is look at other people around me who seem to have money coming in and ask the question, “Are they more deserving than me?” The answer is always no. I’m just as deserving as they are.

I’m also dealing with trapped emotions surrounding money and I’m finding some success with that as well.
So, keep going and good luck!

I agree with you, I think Amanda is already very successful and like you, I believe that this is a sign of some really good things on the way for her.

It seems that Amanda has become successful! How wonderful! How do I know? Because she is being castigated, or, attacked if you will.

This is because criticism comes with the territory when you are succeeding, goal setting and experiencing joy. Have you noticed that anyone who is not succeeding has a tendency toward jealousy and a judgmental attitude toward those that do? In addition, criticizing is a way of blaming, which enforces a victimization role.

The money for which you speak is really an analogy. An analogy for happiness. Happiness brought on by the joy of moving forward in a positive direction. Joy derived from doing, being, growing and yes, providing for you and your family to the extent to which you can envision.

The money which you can create from your mental image is primarily a manifestation of one’s self confidence. Confidence, joy, attainment of goals, satisfaction and striving to fulfill aspirations are the antithesis of despair and dis-satisfaction with the results of our labors.

I have experienced poverty. It brought no joyousness, satisfaction, confidence, sense of purpose or the opportunity to assist others in poverty. It did lower my self esteem, increase the stress of my daily existence and increase a feeling of loss of control over my life’s direction.

So, rejoice in the disparaging remarks, because that just means you have turned away from the crowd which is resentful of those who find, embrace and relish joy.
