Money talks....

What does it say to you?


 Here's my new money talk.  I need to try to distill this down into one money belief system....but so far, this is what I have.

When I do what I love the money flows to me effortlessly.
I attract abundant customers and clients to myself that honor, respect and meet my financial needs and desires.
When I do what I love and ask for what I need, I receive the money I need to feel secure, have enough to pay my bills, and to take care of my self care, needs and desires.
I enjoy the flow of money to me, through me, and from me.
There is abundant money in my life to support and grow my business, my home, my family, and myself.
I am open and willing to accept the abundance around me and for me in all forms that it comes.
All my needs and desires are met through many means- money, barter, trade, gift and cooperation
I trust that the universe is providing for me completely in all ways.
I release all debt and financial obligations from the past from influencing or controlling my current actions, beliefs, or abundance.
I deserve and allow myself to spend money on self care and self love.

High hopes

I did have such high hopes for a productive weekend, but it doesn't seem to be going that way.  Earlier this week I got a little notebook and decorated it with birch bark.  This is my list notebook.  it sounds OCD
but i think if i can lay out exactly what I need/want to do, what my priorities are each day, and cross things off, I will feel more productive, accomplished and organized, and less overwhelmed and like I havne't gotten anything accomplished.  So far it seems to work. 
Except when I don't cross anything off the days list. Lke yesterday. I went outside because it was sunny- and the rest of this weekend is gloomy and raining.  But not snowing (at least not yet).  So I spent several hours snow shoeing with Trill, taking pictures, checking out plants that are mostly still fast asleep in the cold of winter.  When I cam back in, I couldn't focus, I couldn't get started on anything. 
I skipped dinner, and then went to bed at about 8:30. 
This morning I didn't get out of bed till 11:30.  This is unheard of.  I'm always the early riser....
I had some soup for breakfast, chicken, leek and pumpkin soup that was in the freezer.  Had some coffee, and havne't done my yoga or showered.  I've been fucking around on the computer all morning, and working on responding to students.

Not all together unworthy, but thats not that pattern I want in my day. I want morning ritual, grounding time ( as Britt mentioned in her Overcoming Overwhelm Teleconference.  (She's offering another on Boundaries for Women.   Check it out!)  Time to deliniate ME time and work time.  This muddled mess of breakfast and working at the same time, and wasting time on the computer (still a problem even without Facebook-which i slightly cheated on yesterday, much to my dismay.  it sucked me right in!), is not what I want for my day. 
As soon as I'm done writing this I'm going to start on one thing on my list, probably salve making.  I need to get some new things on my Etsy and Poppyswap shops too. 


I'm still trying to think of ways to finance coaching with Britt, and hitting some road blocks.  We've talked a little about moving from this area of Maine to somewhere a little easier to find community, students, clients- so i"m not sure about trying to find a job in town if we're just goign to leave.  But i can't drag my feet forever....

I wish I could make my Etsy and Poppyswap shops suddenly immensely profitable.  To do that, I'd need more product, for that I need money.  I'm still so upset about the immense credit card debt i'm in.  If i wasn't so far in I'd be able to splurge a little to finance something, but as it is...I can't justify it.  I'm in so deep.  I dont think i'm ever getting out of debt.  Would it be so bad to die in debt. 
Throwing away 400-500 dollars a month on debt.  Some of it worthy, some of it not.  Fuck.  Its depressing.

Coaching conundrum

Over the past week I've been talking with Britt at In Arms Coaching and everything about it sounds great, and like something that might really help me get straight with myself, and what I want, and give me the boost I need to get out of the funk.

Problem is...money.  It isn't cheap. At all.  Payment plans would be about 280$-$360 a month.  For a year or more. 
So, I'm asking for help...do you have ideas for me? New classes to offer? Job leads? Thoughts that are creative for ways to make a few more bucks?  I mean, I can't cut into my current income at all, because I"m just barely covering the nut.  
So I must find new income.  Any and all ideas are welcome.  Donations as well, but considering I need 12 months of payments, I need something reliable as well.
