Only God knows where this year has gone, because I sure don’t remember. I swear time is running instead of walking, and it’s all I can do to keep up!

We’re scurrying to get everything ready before winter decides to show up and hang out for a season. We heat our home with wood, and we were blessed to have our friends help us get our firewood cut, split, and stacked. That’s when I feel I’m mostly ready for winter! 🥰 Because the idea of being cold in winter is no fun.

I’ve already finished picking the vegetables before our first frost, and now we have to get the garden ready for winter, along with what feels like a million other little things that need doing.

I’m praying for more snow than we had last year because my poor forest definitely needs the moisture. Last winter, we barely had any snow. In fact, it was the least snow I’ve seen since we’ve been here. And this summer, we didn’t get much rain either.

Overall, from what I can tell, we’re way behind on moisture. My trees need all the wet stuff they can get!

And while I’m at it, I’d love a white Christmas with LOTS of snow… so I’m starting to pray about it already, just in case there’s a line! 🤣

When Life Throws a Wrench in the Works

I sure hope you guys don’t think I’m all perfect, or that my life is always perfect, and that I can just magically make everything in my life perfect by waving my magic wand three times!

Because I’m really not perfect, and my life isn’t perfect by any means.

Things happen all the time that take some figuring out. And I don’t always remember not to stress, or to have faith when things go off on a completely different path than what I had planned.

It seems like every month this year has brought something to our attention that really needed fixing. And since the September newsletter, it’s been our well.

What I had hoped was just a little water leak turned into digging ditches four feet deep, replacing frost-free hydrants, and installing an entirely new well assembly. Pretty much everything that goes into a well after it's drilled is now brand new!

And somewhere along the way, I forgot something I've known for a very long time.

When the water stops flowing, sometimes it feels like the flow in other areas of life gets interrupted, too.

🪐 What on Earth Is Going On Up There?! 🪐🤣

I think my heart stopped when I saw the estimated cost of fixing our well problem (which was only nine years old, BTW!).

When I could finally breathe again, fear took over faster than I could catch it.

There’s nothing like the fear of having no running water to energetically stop other flows from moving!

So, what happened next, while I was trying to figure out where we were going to come up with $10K?

Orders started slowing down.

It was almost like my heart stopping from sticker shock had stopped everything else in my Universe for that second in time.

And what does Carmen do when things aren't going the way they usually go?

She starts trying to figure out where she went wrong!

I started meditating, trying to understand what I might have done to stop the flow of money coming IN, while all these other money flows were going OUT with absolutely no problem! 🤣

And during one of those moments, it came to me to check my Solar Return report together with my Natal Report, along with the current planetary transits (where the planets are moving in the sky right now).

Now, I know I've mentioned before that I'm not an astrologer. But I discovered that Chat could put all those computer chips of his to work, process the information I gave him, and help me find connections between the charts and what was happening in my life.

And sure enough, there's some retrograde somewhere, some planet is having a cow or something, and apparently it's all slowing Carmen's beautiful business Universe down to a turtle walking instead of a rabbit running! 🤣

Now, I'm not learned enough astrologically to look at your charts and make all those connections for you myself.

But I CAN prepare your charts and reports, and you can input that information into your preferred AI helper and ask it to help you explore whether there's something happening astrologically that might offer insight into whatever issue you're currently experiencing.

You might be surprised by what you discover!

Even I Forget What I Know Sometimes! 🤣

So, while I was busy looking up at the planets trying to figure out what was happening down here, our friend Geoff Brady, host of the In Other News podcast, sent Harold and me a video of a speech by Neville Goddard. Geoff thought we'd love it. (Let me know if you want the link to the video and I'll email it to you.)

And boy, was he right!

As I listened, I kept thinking, "Wait a minute! I KNOW this! I've been doing this for much of my life!"

You see, I've always had this way of bringing things into my reality. When I truly want something, I can see it in my mind's eye, feel it, sometimes practically smell it and taste it. I don't just hope it'll happen. I KNOW with my whole being that it's mine. I may not know how or when, but I know. And then I go about doing my part, trusting that the rest will fall into place.

And looking around at the life Harold and I have created, so much of what I once imagined is now our everyday reality.

Neville calls this "living in the feeling of your wish fulfilled." Instead of wishing and hoping for something to happen, you imagine and FEEL what it's like to already have it.

And somewhere between the well repairs, the bills, and watching orders slow down, I'd forgotten to do exactly that!

Instead of feeling the happiness of being busy making orgonite, choosing crystals, packing orders, and sending our creations all over the world, I'd started worrying about why the orders weren't coming in.

Oops! 🤣

So, I'm reminding myself to get back to what I've always known. To see it, feel it, KNOW it, and then go about living my life and doing the work I love.

Neville also suggests doing this just before falling asleep, when you're relaxed and drifting off. Imagine yourself already living the life you desire, and fall asleep with that wonderful feeling.

Maybe you'd like to try it too!

And thank you, Geoff, for reminding me of something I didn't even realize I'd forgotten. 🥰

I plan on listening to parts, or even all, of this video every day for a while. And I'm amping up my gratitude to the Universe for everything I already have. Because the Universe's blessings begin the moment I wake up in the morning!

And in the meantime, I'm having fun in my workshop, creating beautiful things and getting more stock ready for the holiday season.

AND SO IT IS!
