wow, Dogboy, that is certainly encouraging! thx.

All love to you, and prayers coming your way 
Dear Anima, thx! I said my life is a failure from the material standpoint. There can be no denying that. But I'd far rather have it this way, than the reverse. That quote from Simone Weil is really sweet! :heart:
Dear Radharani,
Thank you so much for sharing your story, there has been a very meaningful message in it for me. The way you’ve taken these difficulties in stride with such devotion and surrender to God first and foremost is really amazing, a lesson really. Your spiritual wealth outshines a pile of gold any day.
Wishing you the best. May you prosper and be relieved of your material burdens.
Dear Chaz, Anima and other friends,
THANK YOU for your kind words of encouragement! I want to share the latest update:
After posting my resume’ on a medical jobs site in search of an editor or records position, I was aggressively pursued by one of the top medical transcription companies in America. They are a great company and only hire the elite among transcribers, so I was quite flattered by their attention and agreed to go through their stringent application process. They offered me a position but on careful reflection, I turned it down, simply because my typing skill has deteriorated to the point that I would not be able to keep up with the job and/or make enough $$ doing it. But I was honored that they offered! No other medical jobs that would be doable and/or pay enough have manifested, and that’s fine because frankly I don’t like mainstream medicine anymore and I’m actually kind of relieved… 
Meanwhile, the psychic work has picked up quite a bit, AND I have been offered a contract with one of the biggest, best, most famous companies in existence! I had applied with them in the past but was told at that time, “we don’t have any openings.” I contacted them again a month or two ago and they put me through a very prolonged, intense application process, and have now invited me to be part of their team starting in about a month! So I plan to keep my other psychic job part-time and do this one part-time, as well as my occasional private clients.
The hours are flexible and the job is really ideal for my situation, working from home. I enjoy my “psychic” work very much and love my clients! The money could be better but it is improving, and I am extremely grateful to have a job that I love. Today, for example, I had a client who was spiritually seeking and wanted to know God, and I told her God loves her and encouraged her to meditate, and she was thrilled.
I had applied to Vocational Rehab in the hope that they might be able to train me to do something more lucrative at home (like maybe IT?), but after interviewing me, they said actually they feel that the psychic job is perfect for my situation and encouraged me to stick with it! They said since I am already successfully working (albeit not making enough $$) there was really nothing more they could offer, as the purpose of Voc Rehab is to help a person get ANY kind of job.
I’m still drowning in debt. Decided not to sell the house after learning that it has lost nearly half of its value since it was built in 2008. Instead, my husband and I have renovated the trailer (subsequent to throwing out my rebellious step-son) and we are offering it for rent. The ad just went on Craig’s list yesterday, and we are looking forward to the universe sending the right tenant/s our way.`
I continue to teach private yoga students from time to time. I am only taking the serious students who want the deeper aspects of yoga.
Through it all, there persists the infinite Love of God and the Bliss that is independent of external circumstances. On the rare occasions that I get out in public, like to the grocery store and hardware stores during the recent renovation process, I’m just blown away by the Love pouring through me. I feel so much Love for every person I meet, and I know they can feel it, and it’s delightful interacting with people. Everybody is my dear friend, and I enjoy conversing with total strangers at the store about wine or produce or whatever. Feeling really blessed!
My father, rest in peace, was always at ease chatting up and engaging strangers. As a youngster (way back when) this was a source of embarrassment and frustration for me, which only encouraged him I believe! Now in my fifties and a father, and well along ‘my path’, I have become my father! Interacting with humanity provides a huge boost for my being and always keeps him close in my heart.

My mother, RIP, was the same way! and yes, as a child I found it embarrassing. :slight_smile:
Hi Radharani,
It’s really good to hear you are doing well, staying busy, and enjoying your time and practices.
PS: My dad was the biggest “BSer” with people. His digressions are the stuff of legend
thanks! hey, great news (you probably already heard it on FB, but for those who didn’t): We have rented the trailer to a very nice family! They offered to pay me in cash, $100 more than asked per month, to make sure that they would get it. So this will be a HUGE help to us financially, in addition to my new gig with the Very Famous Psychic Company. Looks like our prayers are answered. thx, everyone, for all your encouragement!
Hi Radharani,
God is good. I’m very happy things are going well for you and the financial situation has improved. It’s awesome to hear that you got a gig with such a reputable psychic company, you’re certainly cut out for the work. 
It’s really a great way to help people, maybe nonconventional but still a great service nonetheless. I have no doubt you’ll be a trusted go to for many.
Much love!
Chaz
Thanks so much for your kind words, Chaz! I really appreciate your encouragement. See below, as the saga continues. Lots of Love,
Radharani
Latest update, for your amusement:
I was thrilled to get the contract with the Very Famous Psychic Company. They offered me a competitive rate (slightly more than I am making now) and a VERY generous sign-on bonus after the first 90 days! BUT, there has been a delay; I was supposed to start in mid October, but then they informed me that the call volume has not grown as much as they had hoped and they won’t have an opening for me to actually go online until December.
The next day, my tenant informed me that she had lost her job because her boss suddenly left town to care for a relative in another state and will be gone until at least December, if not longer. She only had 3 days’ notice! Fortunately she found another job last Friday, but she won’t be paid for another week, so I will have to rob Peter to pay Paul in order to pay the mortgage, but that’s ok, Peter and Paul are very used to it, as we’ve been doing this for the last couple of years.
My husband, meanwhile, is doing his best to prevent his intestines from escaping his abdomen due to the inguinal hernia he acquired when he got hurt at his previous job (construction) where he was not covered by Workers’ Compensation or any kind of health insurance, and he is unable to get help from anybody. He will have to hang in there until January when he becomes eligible for Obamacare so he can get the necessary surgery. The hernia fortunately has not prevented our tantric yoga practice. His new job as a chef is going well, but they can only give him 4 days a week.
So, like many Americans, we continue to literally drown in debt. While I remain consciously aware of the urgency of the situation and that yes, it really IS “bad,” I can’t seem to get very worked up or appropriately worried about it the way I would have years ago. We’re already doing everything we can possibly do and, as my mother used to say, “worrying won’t help.” There remains through it all this incredible fountain of Love and Bliss flowing up inside regardless of the external circumstances. We are thankful for what we have, for as long as it may last, and everything is in God’s hands.
Good to hear of your happiness… I’m hoping things go well with your husband’s operation.
It does rest with God, yes 
I just used the “Peter/Paul” saying yesterday for the first time in a generation; it’s practically synchronicity to see it here in print!
Ah, the lessons of our parents bubbling up as an subterranean spring…dear Radharani stay just as you are, purring like a well fed kitten. I will keep you and your husband in my heart and my samyama!
Thank you, my dear friends! I am so very grateful for the wonderful sangha that we have here. Much Love to you!!
Radharani. Keeping you and yours in my prayers (aka samyama 
).
WOW. I am totally blown away and humbled. A person whom apparently I met here at AYP, although I cannot find their name in the Members list, has sent a very generous donation which will enable me to re-pay “Peter” [credit], whom I robbed to pay “Paul” [mortgage] for November, and also make the December payment on Lothlorien House! It couldn’t have been more timely, as “Peter” needed to be paid back TOMORROW, and my new job won’t start until some time in December. again, wow. At first I was reluctant to accept the gift, but then this kind benefactor pointed out, “Who is the Giver? and Who is the Receiver? Is it not the Hand of the Lord in all these?” true… My sincerest thanks to the Giver.
update: Today I FINALLY began my new job with the Very Famous Psychic Company which can’t be named for contractual reasons, yay! My first day has gone extremely well, the call volume is good, and it’s just in the nick of time to be able to pay the mortgage next month. Oh, BTW, did I mention: My wonderful tenants haven’t been able to pay rent since losing their job in mid-October. They also haven’t been able to clean for some reason. So now the trailer is completely trashed again, even WORSE than it was when the teenage stepson lived there! hard to believe. and I have asked them to move out by the 1st. I am thinking about selling that part of the property because of the geological instability and sinkholes… Meanwhile, my husband got “Obamacare” and should be able to have his surgery next month. Very thankful for all our blessings!
Keep on smiling “As The World Turns”…happy holidays to you!
Same to you, dear!
I am working on the new psychic line again today and it is going great. I can’t even believe how many calls I am getting! SOOO thankful.
