Thanks for exposing this “dark side” of the Law of Attraction.

“You caused the natural disaster with your thoughts” etc. seems to me like a way to try to get the certainty, predictability and explanation that the natural world rarely provides.

As long as you are alive, pain and loss (major and minor) are inevitable. And it’s a perfectly natural human tendency to ask “Why did that happen?!”

You write, “My personal reframe is a belief that when there is delay or tragedy in my life, my soul has made a decision that there is something precious in the experience that serves my true purpose.” It sounds like while you trust that preciousness is there, you recognize that it’s often tough to see it while you are immersed in the experience. Being able to tolerate and sit with uncertainty is necessary, because the meaning cannot be forced prematurely. (Sometimes you don’t see it till years later.)

For this reason it’s so valuable to have at least one person in your life who is empathic, can acknowledge your feelings and accept them as they are. It’s a rare commodity in our fix-it, how-to culture. One of the few consolations in this unpredictable world is that we are all in it together.

It’s times like these, when things are at a stand-still, that it’s really good to have a Money Honey! When I find myself in one of those transitional moments, when things that used to work aren’t working (time to evolve!), I ask my Money Honey, “What’s going on here? What do you want me to learn?” That’s when I have my biggest breakthroughs.

Most of my products speak about the Money Honey, but I’m thinking about what will help you the most right now…

For just getting started at the lowest price point possible, I’d recommend my e-book for $30 (no tax or shipping) and/or my “women and money” mp3 download for $20. Both are available at http://www.moneymagnetstore.com.

A bigger investment, but it was my first intuitive hit when I read your note, is my Financial Alchemy Academy: a high-tech, interactive, online coaching program. It’s brand new with videos, audios, exercises, self-assessments, and live calls. It offers far more nuance, guidance, support and accountability–and direct access to me–than my other products. You can preview it at http://www.MoneyMagnetU.com.

And I’ve had wonderful things fall into my lap when I felt sorry for myself, and tragedy strike when I felt like my life was perfect.

The trick of life is to appreciate ALL of it, get the value and learning from each experience, and practice whatever works for YOU!
