Affirmative Project: Day 15
Martin Luther King Jr. Day
Affirmative words echo from Dr. King's mouth "I have a dream..."
Having a dream is the first step in creating a better tomorrow... without the dream, without vision, everything remains the same.
---------------------------------
Bills! Bills! Bills! We all have them. Budgeting and paying bills use to put me in a bad mood. Watching my money flowing out of our bank account was frustrating. But then several years ago I began thanking the universe everytime I wrote out a check. I showed my gratitude for having the means to pay my bills. I would silently bless the money as I dropped my payment envelopes from my hands into the mailbox asking that it return to me. My empty hands were then open and available for receiving!!
Tomorrow I will be writing out the check to pay for our newly installed furnace. I will bless the check and be thankful for my warm shelter.
Just like clearing your closet of old garments makes room for new clothing, releasing money by making your payments allows the "ebb and flow" of funds. Hoarding cash or fearing that we don't have enough dams up the natural flow. Be grateful when you have the money to pay for your expenses.

Pay Abundance to the order of......
Today I wrote out a check to myself for a significant amount of $$$$, endorsing it with the words "Law of Attraction" - blessed it and tacked it up on our vision board.

Good Articles and I enjoyed reading them
Enjoy your new furnace!
I was wondering, i mean maybe you have an specific reason to have make a check for a certain ammount, but wouldn’t it be like limiting abundance by specifing?, is just a curiosity… i mean, wouldn’t be ideal to write down something like: “unlimited abundance”
Anyhow, i send light and love to your petition,
Many blessings
Hi Ollin,
I get your point. It’s just one check, I can write unlimited number of checks at my whim. The first prosperity check I ever wrote was for less than that… I was in a healing workshop and we were told to get out our checkbooks and write it out for whatever amount we’d like to have. I wrote out mine for $23,000 because I had recently dreamed that I had won the lottery based on picking the number 23… so I was feeling lucky. The person sitting next to me wrote a check out for a million dollars. I wondered to myself then if I was limiting myself. The thing is I would have a hard time believing a million dollars could make its way to me. Part of the LOA is that you have to “believe” — If I wrote out too large of an amount I probably would be jinxing the process.
It’s funny that you think I am limiting myself by putting any figure out there. When my mom read the post and saw the amount on the check she said “WOW – that’s a lot of money you’re expecting!” It almost felt as if she thought I was being greedy asking for so much…
limiting VS greed
such different persepectives, huh?
