After 15 years of trying everything from just putting up with my inlaws, to loving them for who they are, to smiling and sending them as much love as I could in light of what they think of me and being around their rude behaviour, this year I finally said 'no' and chose not to participate in Christmas dinner with them. My sister was furious! And accused me of being selfish and not loving unconditionally. Instead I said this was a time to be around loved ones so I chose to invite the friends I love to my home for an open house and it was wonderful! And I was so fulfilled and happy. <br /><br />But I still struggle with this concept and feel guilty. I know I create my life and even though I have said numerous prayers for them and 'love' them, I really don't want to spend my time around them - especially when I choose that time. If they show up, they just show up and I get that and deal with it accordingly - we usually don't spend any time speaking anyway. I also don't feel like I want to pretend to enjoy their company when I haven't and it's not like I haven't tried over the years. <br /><br />So please explain how we can love - and I do love them as I understand we are One and therefore part of each other. And where I have the right to choose to manifest my reality with positive people I love and create that vibration. I can love people - does that mean I share meals with them too and put on a smile at the dinner table to appease my family?<br /><br />Much love,<br />Karen<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5898367996397438659.post-50520252528343693772012-12-26T13:27:06.609-08:002012-12-26T13:27:06.609-08:00Dear Anonymous,

I found your story moved m...Seek and you will find. I found your story moved my spirit. My family members are the type to verbally and physically hurt others or themselves to gain attention. This had been such from young, even through my years in foster, my sister tried to kill me because she felt everyone paid only me any mind. We were separated. <br /><br />Growing up, I'd hear there was a problem and I'd go running to her or any one of my other siblings---only to be attacked mySelf. Drained all kinds of ways, I'm now tired of running to them. My mothers in a nursing home(she IS about 99% healed but refuses to consider aftercare, I offered her to stay in my home, she changes the subject). I've been unable to get to her since early Nov. due to dealing with the hurricane sandy. <br /><br />There are FIVE of us, and the others can care less seeing her as we all grew up in foster care and they don't like her. My mother doesn't comprehend that I'm a single mother of four---of course because she's never raised a child. I received a call from the home that they found my mother on the bathroom floor. I could not go into the E.R. with my youngest child of 3 yrs. I felt inside me, not to fight to get in. I did receive update calls. <br /><br />Being in a much higher vibration these days, having worked much much on myself spiritually this year, I immediately felt that my mother had hurt herself on purpose. I couldn't shake the feeling, even though I wanted to believe she's just too old to be doing such a thing. I didn't run this time. I can't. I don't have the energy to deal with her pitiful state. Not to ignore that SOMETHING always comes up when I'm thinking to go visit her; whether it's a childcare issue or timing. <br /><br />I believe I'm being allowed to grow pass their harmful obsessive compulsive behaviors, by not communicating with them. When get higher in vibrations, we come away from worldly beings and lowly vibrations of others, family or not. My sister decided that because I stayed with her(her foster mom made her call me and my two youngest back to her home after she kicked us out the day after the hurricane, because her boyfriend decided he wouldn't visit her again until we left back to home) that I should've paid her bills and rent...we were there two and a half weeks! I bought groceries, took her clothing shopping, did her hair, gave her spending cash, bought her an early Christmas present...and then she hit me about some bills! I refused. She cursed and stomped around me and my kids, then went to the social sites and slandered me with lies upon lies. Then kicked my family out on the curb. <br /><br />People we know in common haven't looked at me as an upstanding person since. I donot indulge in gossip, so I said very little about other than I was aware. As a writer with my own blogs...her behavior hurt my audience numbers. <br /><br />My family causes great anxiety in my heart and mind. Im unable to be my true self around them, they don't want love, they want things. I have no things to give. Sometimes they pretend to be nice in front of people but they mock me at the same time. I don't tell them my business because they lie so much about the simplest things. My children refuse to be in any of their presence, as they too are sensitives/empathic. <br /><br />I'm so very happy that you overcame your family issue. I feel that my own is broken, and has been long before I started running to the rescue. I can only find solace in the fact that I was raised in foster care for a reason. God has always taken care of me growing up, and still is. I feel ok continuing my journey with my children and guided by the lord. Thank you for listening.

Do you know that even though I love to write, and believe it is my source of abundant money, freedom and independence I still go through the motions to interview for jobs, send out my resumes, etc.? It is like I need to do these things to have something to tell others so that they will believe someday I will be making money in a job. So ridiculous. So real. Such a lie. So confusing for me.<br /> <br />I will let you know what my schedule is for next week as soon as I get it on Saturday. You see, I could quit my job. They give me only 3 hours a week to work. But I haven't yet. I feel as though if I do, everything that hasn't already fallen apart, will. Awe, and maybe that is the key. Everything falls apart in order to begin again. Someone wrote about 'falling apart', can't remember who. Do you?<br />Regarding the decreasing hours at my job. I do remember the belief that if you do not make the change yourself, the Universe will do it for you. And I believe this is happening to me now. A pushing back and shutting down of working at a job for someone else and all of the limitations and constraints that go with it. And writing that is sitting in the wings just waiting for me to take action so that I can share and express my thoughts and so that I enjoy the abundant money, freedom and independence. <br /><br /> <br />Cheers,<br />JoAnnaMichelle Crafthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09055384127656895177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5898367996397438659.post-28073097395121073772011-01-06T00:46:24.581-08:002011-01-06T00:46:24.581-08:00Well said!

I believe the...You go on ahead with your bad self! I believe the saying goes something like, "do that voodoo that you do so well!" Nothing moves in this life as dramatically, effectively, and efficiently as when one decides to truly live the life one has been given by recognizing that said life really does belong to the person to whom it has been awarded. Others may gripe, grumble, and complain, but only because they mistakenly believe it belongs to them. Better for them that you should shine like a star and have their own lives warmed in the glow than for you to shrink and shrivel and leave the world colder. Great article!T.

You are fabulous!!!
This is...I love your blogs!!! You are fabulous!!!<br /><br />This is timely for me. In the past week,I have had to reach inside to figure out my resistance to believing that I can be a successful writer. I didn't believe it myself, even though others have said I am. Without the belief in myself I am unable to focus effectively, so I feel as though I am on a teeter-totter. I now feel better, I now have a more solid belief.<br /><br />To do this I had to remind myself that my doubts were based on what my father had told me about doing artistic and creative work. He told me that I would never make any money. I had to release this fear based thought and assured myself that being different from everyone I know or have ever known is a good thing.<br /><br />The dilemma I was and am in, is that I want to write, I love to write and I want this to be my source of pleasure, joy of sharing, and my abundant income. <br /><br />But as I say this, I also realize that in this moment, I am deeply in debt with a completely inadequate income from a part time job that I have. I am trying to find another job so at least I can pay my expenses. I have found myself using credit cards just to buy groceries, not a good place to be in.<br /><br />These two opposing thoughts in my mind have kept me from focusing on either, therefore I am in a state of limbo. I go from sending resumes as I look for a job, to attempting to write.<br /><br />Once again, I have rattled on. <br /><br />Thank you.JoAnna Boccardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09332701207501887359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5898367996397438659.post-14199683623900319902010-06-21T09:27:49.313-07:002010-06-21T09:27:49.313-07:00Thank you JoAnna, just keep listening.Thank you JoAnna, just keep listening.Michelle Crafthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09055384127656895177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5898367996397438659.post-34503459813543226182010-06-21T06:15:54.354-07:002010-06-21T06:15:54.354-07:00Dear Michelle,

Than...Dear Michelle,<br /><br />Hope you are feeling better!<br /><br />Thanks for the post. I understand this, and I do think too much about what I visualized and begin to doubt my ability to have what I want.<br /><br />I know visualization works. I've done it for parking spaces, to stop another car from hitting me as it slid on ice, to buy the car I wanted. It is wonderful and powerful.<br /><br />Right now it feels as though everything in my life has stopped and I know in this moment I must release my past connections with my parents. Which is the reason I have not written a post in the past month. I listened to and valued what you told me. I honestly believe I will continue writing, just not sure what or how.<br /><br />Thank you.JoAnna Boccardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09332701207501887359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5898367996397438659.post-85104740890975421742010-06-17T02:49:57.337-07:002010-06-17T02:49:57.337-07:00Delana, I'm happy to hear of the great timing ...Delana, I'm happy to hear of the great timing of the article.
