My little ones were supposed to have a visit from their Dad today, but he is having a "poor week," and is working. From their reaction, you'd think it was my fault, but it's human nature to lash out at whatever, or whoever, is closest. Still, it's sunny, the sky is a beautiful shade of blue, and they can have a good time with their friends. Their disappointment will soon be forgotten.

The thing is, I know that he knows how to manifest greater abundance, and I know that he knows that with total trust in the universe there is never such a thing as a poor week. One day, he will remember these things.

Years ago, I had a reading with a tarot-man who told me that when I was truly doing what I should be doing, I would know true wealth. This message was not uniquely for me; it applies to everybody.There are those who believe a spiritual life precludes financial comfort, but that is not the case; money itself is not the root of evil, but the love of it is. I can't help feeling, however, that putting the love of money before the love of ones family is not balanced.

Sometimes, we find ourselves teetering on the edge of a precipice. We know what would make our hearts sing, yet fear prevents us taking the steps that lead to a life full of joy. There is a God, and s/he wants us to be happy. S/he has given us the tools to manifest our own happiness, it is just up to us to work out how to use them.
