11-8-10 Light the Darkness

So how is everyone holding out? I have been going through some really stressful times in my life with the move, the ex-BF, the son, life in general but the tides are shifting and things are changing and I know I am going to ride this storm out and be ok in the end.

It started friday, I deleted Randy off every single contact list that I had. I can't live a lie and I can't move on when I am holding onto someone like that. I knew if I kept hearing him logging on and off AOL, or saw his name in my phone or his address on my e-mail address book I'd be tempted in a weak moment. No I had told him to contact me when or if he was ever free so there is no need for me to hang onto his contact info..... My friends had invited me to celebrate Diwali with them, try a meditation session and then got to temple to take fruit to Baba so I accepted. I am a catholic by baptism but I figured if my God wasn't answering my prayers right now let me try someone else s! LOL Truthfully in my mind it's all the same God, and one never should be afraid to go and celebrate the faith of a friend, you will probably learn what I always learn is that while the traditions are so different the basics are still the same.....

I arrived at my friends place, who is also going to be the web-host of CassiesCalendar now and since I was early we first talked some business and he is going to set up to handle ticket purchases, incorporate my business, and handle all the accounting for us for a small percentage. I am not a strong businesswoman collection wise, my talents always have been the front end bring the people in sort and marketing. But I know that Manu is good with business as he just bought himself a very nice Mercedes, nope this was the man to handle that end of it and as it turns out Diwali was a very special day to settle on a business agreement! We had a good evening, my soul resonates well with the traditions of his faith, and I was pleased to know that it was a New Year, a re-setting of Karma, a fresh start. Manu and I also talked of working together in the future and doing meditation workshops together....

Saturday I went down to Keyport to look for a rental but I didn't find anything I liked. I didn't get why the card of the day was Answered Prayer when nothing was working out, especially with the house on Sunrise but we did go back to another one that is for sale and vacant for a long time. I don't like the lay out of it, the fact its two stories and no central AC, however it does have a 2 car garage and two bedrooms all of which I can rent out and essentially live there practically free. So he said he'd look into a lease to own, that should protect me in case the sale of my house comes in really low or takes a long time. I guess sometimes the answer to your prayers isn't the answer that you wanted, still you must keep the faith that God has a good plan for you...

Saturday evening I went out dancing with my friends Fun and Friendly Singles group. It was good to get out as I haven't done much of that lately, and she and I discussed some ways for her to start making a little money with her group and the possibility of also working together. I didn't stay out late though, just not into the real late nights and the loud clubs, there wasn't room to dance or I probably would have felt differently.

Sunday my friend had gotten a deal for his NYC photo walks group to go on a boat cruise on the Hudson which included lunch, belly dance lessons and a comedy show for a fourth the price of what it normally costs, with his offer to borrow a camera and to drive I couldn't pass that up. I am glad I went also, I ended up getting a few good shots and I think I will delve into this photography thing more. He said my shots were quite good. I got to pass out my business cards to the event organizers, the comediennes and belly dancers and the boat owner. I also came up with a new idea for a social group and my friend RJ is going to be a partner with me on that one, he's been an extremely successful business man his whole life also.....

All in all a good weekend for re-setting my Karma and letting go of all that concerns and upsets me. We all need a re-set now and again......... Today I woke up to my son in jail, the property I was going to be making a lease to purchase option sub-divided and a second house being jammed in next to me, and a full work load at the office........however.....since I did a re-set I am fresh and ready to face it, the light of Diwali has been lit inside me, I can face this, I can even see the good in these situations.......

Today, slay the demons, the depressions, the frustrations and the fears that torment you by focusing on the light, trust me it will get brighter and stronger and warmer as we move closer to it.......we will all get through this dark time and dance in the sunshine once again!

With Love and in the Light, Cassie
Go Light Your World




The evil need not necessarily come in the form of demons. Desperation, depression and frustration can cause much more damage to one's life than the demons that you have not seen.
Diwali is a reminder to slay all that is negative to our life. Especially in today's global economic situation, on this festival of lights, let your inner light remain on.


PS:
I tossed a few spiritstones into the Hudson while I was there.....however I think that body of water is going to need a few TONS of spiritstones! LOL
