I’ve wanted desperately to help with income.  But i haven’t worked for pay for 13 years. I don’t have a degree. I don’t have time. M earns 8 times the minimum hourly wage (if only he were paid for every hour he worked!). Even if i worked 20 hours a week, it would only take him losing  a day’s work (over the course of a month) taking up the slack to make it not worth it.

I was telling him a few weeks ago of ways i’d thought of to make money, but none would be right away or guaranteed. They all felt desperate and forced.

The  next day I was doing my meditation practice , and thinking about how i wanted to help bring in income, and that the reasons all my ideas feel forced is because i haven’t created the karmic causes for them. That all i can do is continue my practice, removing negative karma and obstacles, and creating positive energy for success.

A few hours later i heard the front gate open. Keep in mind that we are so far out here, people just don’t drop by. Who walked up, but a dear friend.  He and his wife and children have been friends of ours since we started going to Family Camp 5 years ago.  He was hand delivering a payment for some web work m did for him. We started talking, and he needs help with his business ~ non-toxic sustainable wood flooring and rugs from Nepal.  He’s been interviewing people and hasn’t found anyone. It can be done from home, with flexible hours. “I don’t have a resume”, i say… “You don’t need a resume!” he replies…”I know you!”

I met with him this morning, and it’s a perfect fit – i have a job, and get to help our friends!
