My $10,000 Landslide

During the first week of May 2016, I asked the Universe for $10,000. My prayer was answered most unexpectedly.

10 months earlier, I had hit my financial rock bottom.  I was scared out of my mind about how I would get through.  My stress level was off the charts.

I miraculously pulled out of that torturous time.  With my scars still fresh, I declared to the sky that I was ready to have monetary abundance be my only story.  

But how do I make that my reality?

I began by acknowledging that I had a severe case of Poverty Mindset. Little by little as I worked to change my thoughts, it felt like I was changing the air I was breathing. Day and night, I worked to bring in rich oxygenated thoughts through my brain, flooding every cell with the message of abundance. Turning my back on the deafening messages of scarcity around me, I determined to make no room for any messages saying anything other abundance abundance abundance. Every day I listened to audios, read books, and played prosperity games of all kinds.

Then in May 2016 I said my $10,000 prayer.  I didn't realize that my prayer was an invitation for Life to test my new mindset out. The test started the night I flew into Bucharest, Romania on May 1 when I accidentally dropped my laptop. After paying $650 worth of computer repair later, I received news within hours of some unexpected repairs needed on my house in Salt Lake City, Utah. 

The landslide had begun.

Dollar signs slipped away from me like mud slipping down a mountain. $824 sliding away here and $587 over there. Every day for weeks, I received news of another financial catastrophe. From May until August, it raged on. After four months, it finally leveled out and I reviewed the damage.  The slide totaled about $10,000.   

I know I would not have been able to handle this level of financial pressure in a past version of myself. But because of my new mindset, my stress level barely made a 1.5 out of 10.  I was definitely uncomfortable, but I was fine.  I made it through a truly serious financial disaster unscathed because of my new way of thinking. This personal accomplishment is something I am still celebrating today.  

Stressing about money is not a reality I experience anymore. I've learned that it takes time, patience and consistency to re-program the brain away from the poverty mindset, but I have showed myself, and now my clients who are experiencing similar results, that it's absolutely possible. 


My $10,000 prayer taught me that it is my divine birthright to experience a peaceful relationship with money, no matter whether it's coming or going.

I understand now that when I was asking for $10,000 that day, what I was really asking for was the feelings of peace, security, and freedom.  I thought the literal money would bring me all that. But I understand now that nothing outside of me will ever give those feelings to me. 

I give those to me.  

So now, no matter what is in my bank account, I bask in my financial peace, security and freedom. My financial freedom is being free from fear.  And with my liberated abundance mindset, I am experiencing an unending landslide's worth.
