And yes, I do have a vision board and also had an opportunity to do an exercise several months ago where we visualized and wrote down where we wanted to be and what we wanted and then sealed in in a letter to ourselves to be opened in a couple of months. I love the idea of having a notebook to carry. Oh !

That what you asked for was not what you received. For me I would receive something less... the stereo was something that did not have a setup to listen to more than one album, the bicycle was not the awesome one ... but an almost... I have been trained to settle for something less.. and this is the pattern that I have to overcome and move past... Because I do ask, but then start to change what I ask for because it might be too much .. and so I lessen my request .. Wow. Now, for the green car/butterfly experiment. I wrote on Friday that it had taken me until Friday to see a green car.. well, after that post,.... I have lost count of the green cars... over 50... every where I go.. at one point there were three in a row.... WOW, it was like the Universe said, you relaxed and here they are. Thank you :) Also like so many of you that have commented about their childhood of learning not to ask. That what you asked for was not what you received.

I get this tense feeling inside when I think of asking. I can ask for others and yet when I ask for myself it feels like lack. And, I noticed that I can ask for help in a lot of ways and for a lot of things while asking for money really is very challenging. I am dealing with a number of money issues right now - losing several clients all at one time in my business. It's the beginning of the month - payroll will be due soon, other first of the month bills are due. I want to generate abundance - not scarcity - and yet I get this feeling of fear. I choose to move forward in spite of the fear, believing that I can rise above the resistance and really, truly create abundance. I am believing and receiving. I am open to the doors that God opens to provide. I am generating love, courage. I am inventing the possibility of being courageous, powerful, abundant, and peace. I have asked God, or the Universe, or the Source, to provide exceeding abundantly above what I can even imagine. Thank you for all the posts and the creativity and the synergy.

I'm not sure I really stretched myself on that one, though because I didn't get a single no. Or maybe I'm just receiving that much prosperity! Haven't seen any major points of prosperity but the little signs point to its arrival. I already have a journal that’s a combo of the 100 things list and a visualization board so I did the last one.

I have a LiveJournal account, and have had for years. Over the years I've seen people put up PayPal donation buttons when they need help for themselves, an injured pet, or something else. I've had mixed feelings about this practice myself, but then I've also seen miracles happen when people have done this, such as when one friend raised the money for a much needed surgery a friend needed. But then again, I've seen people post filtered posts that are really nasty about so-and-so asking for money for this or that. What with the financial situation I'm in (I get $449 a month SSI and am on foodstamps and Medicaid, and what little money I had in the bank is depleted, I'm looking for work but not having any success in that regard), I had some thought a time or two about putting up one myself, asking for help from people who have known me for years, but always hesitated. So, I put up a survey on my LJ. While the survey indicated that most people were of the "It's your LJ, do what you want" attitude, and would donate in certain situations, there was a lot of negativity expressed in the comments, including the idea mentioned above that it is wrong to ask, you should wait til it's offered. Some said they wouldn't mind buying things to help a person out, but not donating. So basically I got a big "No" to that question there. I have an appointment with Social Security on Monday and will be asking them to review my case and raise me to the maximum $674 a month in SSI, and hopefully I'll be getting a "Yes" there. As to what else to ask of physical people, I don't know? I ask the Universe daily for an income that's more than enough for my needs and desires. Akoshia and others who did asking, what kinds of things did you request? Not much has manifested for me yet. I still have not given up hope. In fact, I am ridiculously optimistic given my circumstances. I did lose 5 lbs, though, which made both my doctor and me very happy. Maybe I should buy a PowerBall ticket.

I was having a hard time asking for more things. I have had my mind so long on certain things, it had ceased creating more. It was stuck. I was so caught up in the first things that I wanted that I had not moved on to think up other things. When you stop asking for fear of not receiving it, you can stagnate. I manifest those things quicker that I hold loosely. When I ask for the same thing over and over it is not coming from the right feeling space. I myself need to ask and move on. I have had two vision boards that I have created over the years. I have not even manifested one little thing on those boards. And they are things I truly desire. So I need to change my attitude about that. But I did just make a vision board on the "Tut" website in the last couple of days. I am feeling myself changing so I trust and believe it will happen. I can feel it. It is so close to happening. I have noticed something. I was having a hard time asking for more things. I have had my mind so long on certain things, it had ceased creating more.

This inspired me to scan my inner landscape to see where I stood on this issue. Once I did, I worked through the resistance I felt there and then asked in a BIG way. The results were astounding and pleasing to say the least. In addition to my major requests being greeted with a YES!, intentions that I made on my list of things to Do, Be and Have began to manifest. I received two exciting offers that can catapult me to greater levels in my public speaking career! This is awesome!!!! Thanks a million:) I am glad that you acknowledged how challenging it may be for some of us to feel comfortable asking. This inspired me to scan my inner landscape to see where I stood on this issue.

I love that this exercise gave me the push to do this, as I have been thinking it would be great to ask for these for awhile, and I am grateful that I used this experiment as a way to take the plunge and ask. I am pretty good in general about asking for certain things, and get yes's it is just this one is alot more personal, and so a little scarey for me. I am waiting for their responses, and am hopefully expectant they are coming in to me.
