January 4, 2010:  Did I do that?

After waffling for 4 months I finally booked myself on a Carribbean cruise with Abraham.  (See www.abraham-hicks.com and click on cruises.)  I’ve been on other Abraham cruises and they have been amazing but 1) I was employed then which means I had income and 2) I was not emerging from a “dark night of the soul” so I didn’t have to question whether or not to travel at all. 

But after I did it I knew it was the right thing to do because I felt so good about it.  That’s a major tip off.  My inner guidance is saying “YES” and jumping up and down.    Feeling good is something I just can’t get enough of these days and so I’ll take this.

I also feel like my sense of my own abundance is affirmed.  I no longer feel like my future lies with a shopping cart in the park and I know I won’t have to eat cat food while I watch the repo man take my car.  I can do something that is my heart’s delight and there will be more on the way.  That’s the way abundance works.  You believe in it and it is.  And the better it gets the better it gets.

And I absolutely love cruising.  I fondled the Princess 2010 catalog and looked at all the exotic cruises, like from Bangkok to Capetown, South Africa or their 103 day around the world cruise, and was whimpering with desire.  So with cruising there is the actual 7 days of cruising but then I actually have 10 weeks of anticipation which is just as good!  I can cruise in my mind for 10 weeks and 7 days.

Plus I can share the joy with a good friend who is equally as addicted.  He gets a cruise countdown clock from the Princess web site and it counts down the days until his cruise in a corner of his computer.  We’ve trolled the cruise critic web site today for news of the ship I will be on.   He’s vicariously going with me.   It’s “our” cruise.

And while I wait I can joyfully lose at least 10 pounds, lie in a warm tanning bed for that base coat, mentally begin packing…the fun never ends, does it.

The question I ask myself is… does this manifestation count because I did it myself?  It didn’t pop up as a prize won.  It’s not a gift from a friend or not some tickets just somehow falling out of the sky with my name on them.  I went on line and made the reservations.  But I would not have done it if I had not felt inspired to do it.  That is my mantra these days.  If it’s not inspired, don’t do it.  So I felt it and did it.  I would not have done it four months ago.  So I think it counts.  I received the guidance and acted and I’m glad I did.  So there!

With Love, Connie
