"I Love My Life!"

Intellectually, I know that making new friends takes time when you move to a new place. I've moved 8 times in 16 years. I've got experience. I know this in my brain.

But I was allowing myself to get caught up in the pity party and get dragged into the muck "Oh this is so hard. Oh I miss my friends. I feel so sad. I'm lonely. blah blah blah"

Well, I've been listening to Sonia Choquette's Trust Your Vibes CD set lately and I listened to a particularly powerful segment on Monday morning. She said when you want to shake things up and really set powerful intentions, start your day (and continue throughout the day as you're inspired) with stating the following:

I LOVE MY LIFE!

I EXPECT GREAT THINGS!

I WONDER WHAT WONDERFUL THINGS ARE GOING TO HAPPEN FOR ME TODAY!

So, I decided to try it that day.

Within 48 hours, I was contacted by at least 4 different people saying "Hey, we heard you're new to town. Welcome!" and inviting me to various things - workshops, lunch, going for a walk, etc.

Now, I realize that I have been planting seeds for making connections for a few months now. But I don't think it's just coincidence that once I finally made up my mind that I was ready to receive, that the Universe rewarded me immediately.

Try it. Use Sonia's words. Watch and see what happens. And let me know about it...
