I gave myself a challenge yesterday to follow The Way, which is my new novel set to release in June. I’d give you all the steps now, but I’d really like you to purchase the book once it is released. (All proceeds go to my foundation.) So over the course of my experiment, I will illustrate them. Maybe you want to know why I wrote this book, or what qualifications I have. Besides teaching for twenty-five years and having a Masters Degree, I am a Reiki Master Teacher and I have been called a medium. Basically, I have been talking to the other side for the last twenty years. But how that happened is another story.

So, back to the experiment. I tucked the seven steps in my purse and headed to work. Now it is really easy to follow The Way at home when there are no interruptions, but the real world poses another challenge, especially if you operate a retail business. I was doing fine yesterday, living in the moment, eating healthy, working in a job that adds value to my live and the lives of my employees and customers, etc, etc, when into the sales office walked a customer who was surrounded with dark energy. (Sometimes I hate the fact that I can see energy because I tend to pre-judge.) Being my bubbly self, I thanked him for coming in and asked if he had been here before and what I could do to help him. He snapped at me, wouldn’t give me eye contact, (It was probably that woman-thing.)  and said he did not know who he was working with but wanted help NOW! (One of the seven steps is choosing not to be around negative and manipulate people and to learn the art of saying no, but what do you do when they are standing in front of you in a small waiting room???) Long story, short, I found him a sales person, who had a horrific experience with the customer, and we gracefully let the customer off the lot. But what I did not control were my thoughts. They became judgemental and negative toward that man, which is wrong because I do not know his past. I need to work on that, but it is hard. Some people are so toxic.

Today will be easier. It is my art day. I do not come off the mountain and into the real world or my business. I write and create all day.
