^^^ I knew the universe had your back Lovey. Keep manifesting!
So I’d like to share a good news story in my life. I had an abusive regular-which I started dancing to get out of an abusive relationship, so why the hell would I let men abuse me in my work life! I’m selling dances not my mental health. Anyways, he invites me to a private party, and I needed the money but I was like, “nope my integrity is more important than money and I will no longer enable this abusive man no matter how much money he spends.” I went to work and it was DEAD! But the universe came through and I probably made just as much as I would have at his private party.
I’m grateful for all the personal development work I’ve done that’s taught me to stay on my path and don’t be controlled by fear. Fear would have said I need the money and gone to the private party, but love told me to take care of myself and walk away from abusive people no matter the cost.
Moral of the story always choose from love and not fear.
Money, this is awesome! I love it!!This really lifted me. You're damn right.

You're fine! O my gosh, NO^
Is the book online?
Book is on Amazon. Mixed reviews but I can't please everyone. The important thing is that I did it, and some people were helped by it.
I was so excited to find a nice upscale office with a shower for $25 flat rate! No BS deposits, just $25 and you're in. So happy! I'm gonna remember these people should I need them again in the future.

Sorry for being a thread hog. Right now times are challenging so I'm trying to be grateful for the good things in
Gratitude will keep you sane, but be sure not to spiritual bypass. Well that’s not something I tend to do, but can’t stand when people say “be positive!” and refuse to acknowledge reality. There’s a Bible verse that says look at the cross, but do not dwell on it. I’m sorry. Keep your head up. Milking a vibration of gratitude will help until you get back on your feet. I didn’t realize the living situation was that bad! Read the power of now-it’s on YouTube for free. I’ve been there. Through no fault of my own life has knocked me down, and all you can do it get back up everytime. If you read Eckhart’s book you’ll understand this more, but you are not your life situation. When you remember that you are not your life situation it’s easier to find peace. You’re a survivor so you’ll figure things out. I feel you on having my back against the wall. I hope you find a safe living situation soon.

Thank god I don't live in abject poverty and god is looking out for me in that area in life. I'm subscribed to this channel from another country and I'd quietly walk myself off a cliff if I had to endure that. One lady interviewed was asked if she would be with an old rich fat man in the USA over someone for love and without hesitancy she chose the man from USA. That's no way to live life laying on bamboo sticks for a bed and the flooring is dirt in your house.
OH GOD I so feel this.
I've seen Third world hovels in person and they're not romantic. At all. Being bluntly truthful, people live in abject poverty in the States and we turn blind eyes to it all.
I'm grateful for my co-workers, they are awesome in their own ways.

The hotel upgraded us to a suite. Our first room was ghetto as heck. The smoke detector was knocked sideways. The room stunk. There were what looked like dog claw marks on the door, a random hole in the bathroom ceiling, a dick drawn on a mirror, etc.

Lol @ the dick!
For the nice upscale office I rented for $25 today for my focus group and the long hot shower afterwards. I will definitely go back in the future if need be.
The focus group had an early bird raffle for $25 and I won, which was cool because that covered the cost of the office rental. So I got $200 after all.
My credit score went up 17 pts
My bills are getting paid.
I am rebuilding.
I'm happy to not be paying rent to an abusive asshole.
I am quickly on my way to finding a lovely new home for kiddo n me in a safe place.
For the decaf Starbucks I am enjoying right now.

For the fact that it's not even 11 am, I got 3 orders knocked out already, and that all the delivery locations are super close to the store I am shopping, so that saves on gas and makes things easier.. And I got my laundry done early too. I enjoy being productive.

LOL…someone asked me how my night was. I said, “great I’m ready to get a bag.” At the end of the night I had a bag of money. Yay! I wanted to share with my coworkers, but it was an awful night so I wasn’t about to rub it in their faces.

Lovey and moneybags: every dollar spent you earn 2 points.
With 50 points you can redeem pastry like pumpkin bread etc of your choice.
For refills, you don't have to get like for like but must be same size as your original purchase. Not all Starbucks employees and locations know this so at times I have to educate them. The majority of time they're great but some were not properly trained so showing them policy always shut them up lol.
Refills only apply if you stay inside or outside Starbucks. Once you leave and come back, it's considered new purchase.
Here's their policy:

Yay, points add up quick, lol! I usually wait til I earned 150 points so I can get a handcrafted special drink. My favorite treat is their pink drink. You can redeem for any size and get free refills. I always get the trenta-their biggest, lol.

I went to Trader Hoes today and thought of you lol. I love these little peanut butter Bamba snacks they have there.
Grateful for my beach run. My weights were in my trunk so after my run I did some toning exercises and sit ups on my blanket under a tree overlooking the bay. Then took a shower so I'm all fresh n ready for today. And now it's going to rain so I'm glad I got it in when I did.
I love how working out makes me feel. I'm 48 and I'm an attractive mature gal.
For taking care of some important matters. Booster shot scheduled. Relieved.
Marina Starr
10-25-2021, 03:13 PM
Excited to see what you'll redeem as you earn points! They have double, triple points days and different challenges that will add up quick.
I love Trader Hoes so much. I go at least once or sometimes twice a week. Lots of their stuff are organic and their prices are great.
Mature is not a bad word for us mature hoes. It's a blessing growing into our best self.
Being fully vaxxxed to the maxxx actually makes me feel prettier and sluttier. Can't wait to get my booster.
I am so happy!^^ thank you!!

I gave dirty looks to a group of people at my hotel thinking "these mf-er's stink of weed" .....Then I got in my room, took a nap and man this smell all came from the weed dispensary shop I went to for my edibles earlier tonight. Sometimes they do samples for customers in the store who smoke. I stink of weed!! Hahaha. Spray time.

Since moving out away from that nasty controlling manipulative bitch, I've been up and at em every morning, getting out early for exercise before Shipt picks up. I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror this morning and my body is looking stronger and tighter than it did before. I'm almost tempted to take my savings, get a permit, and head back to the club! Lol j/k
Even though I'm living in my car, at least it's clean, current with payments, and I can focus on just being me and doing what I have to do in peace, without being abused by jealous, insecure see-u-next-tuesdays.
Grateful for the supportive women here.

Also so glad that my ipad case ordered on Amazon arrived today because God only knows what would happen with USPS. That shit would ship right from Florida then reroute to Idahoe then back to Florida again. I don't understand the fuckery and not trying to.

Omg! Before I even read this, I was thinking TJ's:thumbsup:!
Just ] returned from there, it's a little further than I like to go, so I don't go there more often, I'm closer to Jewel /Aldi, but love me some TJ's!
Just got my horseradish / sour cream chips, which are seasonal only - they show up on ebay for $20.00 a bag!
You know it's employees (inside info) probably doing that.
I bought 2 bottles of their lemongrass body oil (use it on my face).
Their personal care products are great too!

I'm in such a good mood. My new closet doors are installed and so up to date and quietly glide compared to the one from the 1950's I had with the broken wheel. My doorbell got installed and looks so modern! I have to go through all the ringtones but there's a few Christmas ones I heard, even a happy birthday one LOL! I'm keeping it on an asian massage spa-like sounding doorbell ring lol.
Motivated me to clean my room, do all my laundry, put it away, bathe my dogs, buy a new bath towel and bed sheets, shower and tan, as well as fully stock the refrigerator. I've been sitting here feeling so content today! I rang my doorbell myself quite a few times just to see how it felt LOLLL.

I applied for rent assistance like 3 times earlier this year. Got disqualified once and never heard back the other times.
Part of the reason I moved in with L was to advance myself financially without having to worry about rent eating up my income.
Finally today I get a call from my former landlord saying a check for $1500 came for me. But since I’ve moved out she will mail me the check.
I wonder what I can do with the check and I hope it’s in my name not my apartment.
Anyways a nice start to my day today
Universe keep that money coming!
I received the check!!
Much needed so now i can keep my pristine credit score and pay off the cards I used this month to help me float

Today is way better than yesterday.
I went for a great beach run. High on edibles.
Did my situps and weights by the bay.
I'm all clean.
The car and laundry are now clean.
I ate more gorgonzola cheese mashed potatoes. And carrot juice, which makes your skin glow.
I am ready to work and am open to receiving abundance.
If I have a good day, I am rewarding myself with nails. Found the perfect shade of pink polish.

Amen to that. Grateful for atms that deposit cash. Shameless way to do banking.
Also, grateful I made money over the weekend. I really feel like the worst parts of my life is over. Not that there won’t be ups and downs, but I think it’ll be more up and then down from here on out.
Grateful for boosters. Can’t wait to get mine. I’m not really worried about getting covid. I mean it’s possible, but I’m back to normal-more or less. I still take precautions around vulnerable people and mask when asked to do so, but for the most part I’ve gotten “back to normal.” It feels good to have a lot bit of normality.
It can take a while to manifest things, I can get impatient. So I have to detach and allow things to unfold. Life keeps getting better. Slowly but surely
