May turn out to be true

According the Marie Duval’s prediction, she said I would find a new love in the first half of 2007 and I thought about it while having my breakfast this morning. It has been quite surprising and if the turn of the events in the last couple of weeks were to be the precursor to what it would be in the next few months, I guess Maria Duval’s prediction is turning out to be true. I am still not so sure about it though because I’m apprehensive as I suffered a big letdown in relationship a few years ago and I’d been shying away from it. Will see how it goes and develops on my part and I would not give myself pressure on this issue.

Today a colleague specially took an urgent leave and she really spoiled up my day because I had to take over what she was supposed to be doing for the day! And I had to start all over again to understand the cases she is handling. I think it is really irresponsible of her to throw her stuff to me simply because her dog is giving birth! What a reason! Now the whole office knows about this issue and she’ll be a laughing stock. I just vent my anger and frustration here only. I don’t blame or mad about her.

Inspiring encounter

I bumped into an old colleague while I was out for lunch this afternoon. It has been more than 2 yeas since I last met him. He was very surprised to see me too because it had been so unexpected. Refreshing some memories, he is really a person who likes to take the lead and motivate others and is a born leader. Positive and dare to go against the tides yet able to play the game such that management likes him too. Rightly so, I asked him about it and he told me he had been promoted to department manager. It’s not easy to be at the position because it is a very competitive place. Of course I’m happy for him because a person of his caliber should be right at where he belongs.

From him, I somehow realize that as long as we continue to dream and always keep close to our goals, we will achieve it one day. Not many people will fully grasp the meaning and he’s a living example of how it should be done. He certainly inspires me.

Encouraging surprise..

Thanks God and Maria Duval’s talisman I actually got my car repaired over the weekend and it cost about $400 over. Of course I feel painful over that as that is worth nearly 2 months of gas for me. The repair took just about over half a day but the surprise to me was that the driver of the front car was there at the car service center waiting. It was he who recommended me to this service center and I am happy with its repair job. While waiting for the repair, we had time to talk and even had lunch together. I think I’m pleasantly surprised by this turn of event. Did Maria Duval predict about this? I’m curious to know at least. I know she tells me at this ime of the year I could have some “encouraging surprises”. I’m not sure if she refers to this. I have this strong happy intuition in me about he and I though. Is he the one?

The aftermath…rambling mind

Yesterday’s morning minor accident really had me running with fear whenever I take the the wheels this evening on the way home. The front was damaged and the blessings are there on me because the car is still humming in normal conditions. I will send the car for the repair over the weekend which shouldn’t take up much time. I really got to say thank you praises to God and Maria Duval’s talisman for their timely miraculous intervention.

I told myself to focus well and checked the mirrors often. Mostly important is do not doze off during the journey. When I reach home, I really give a sigh of relief! To stop my mind ramblings, looks like I need some time to meditate and to slow down the anxiety of my conscious mind.

Just a short update for today! My eyes are tired from staring at the computer screen after a long day looking at it.

Is it a miracle?

As the weather is not that conducive for driving recently, I’m always apprehensive about meeting an accident. Maria Duval says if you keep thinking about something in your mind, by attraction of thoughts, that something will happen. How right she has been!

This is because I really met a minor accident on my way to work this morning. Luckily though, it was just a minor one but I had a shocked. I thought I was going to be injured. I guess I have been driving too near to the front car at that times that why I had insufficient reaction time to brake. By God’s grace, my car miraculously just kissed the front car. My front bumper was knocked off to the road and there were some dents and scratches. I had been very lucky I thought. Was it because of the Maria Duval’s lucky charm I’ve been carrying along?

The driver of the front car was a gentleman in his 40s and he was very kind to help me along. It’s rare to meet such people nowadays and he really apologized profusely. Deep inside, I was kind of impressed. Even though my car is insured, he even offered to pay me the repair fee!

The whole stoppage lasted not more than 15 minutes but somehow I feel I may have known a special new friend. It’s really a miracle, isn’t it?

On my spiritual trail again..

Dear all, it’s a cold Monday and I’m back to office to work. What a busy day because they had some promotion events over the weekend and I’m lucky to miss it lol .. Many people I talk to thought that I am in insurance sales when I told them I work in insurance line. Well, I can understand because it’s just like when you say to people you are working in aviation, they assume you are a pilot! I’m already used to that kind of comments. I’m not in sales force and I’m just a administrative officer supporting the sales team. Sometimes when it is busy, I do need to go down to events to chip in my hours for the team. The good thing is I do get some referral fees if I manage to refer someone to the team. I don’t wish to reveal more information as it is inconvenient.

A few sales staff have approached me to join sales team before because they said I’m a good sales person haha. I should take that as a compliment as I really don’t have any intention to do that. People are just too paranoid to the surrounding and spirituality precisely because they left themselves no room away from their monetary chase as all of them regard materialism as God and they thrive on heated competition. This kind of life is devoid of joie de vivre to me. Do you think I’m too mundane in outlook? I think I’ll meditate on that and reflect upon my value of life again. It’s spiritual time again..

A weekend with my mom.

The weather was quite cold and I think it was because of blizzard and snow storm at the Northeast. Nowadays weathers are really unpredictable. Just days ago, we had this report from the NOAA that this is the warmest winter in over one hundred years. There was lack of snow in some European ski resorts and no snow recorded in Tokyo. Yet now we had this mess over here. Well, the weather was cloudy over the weekend and I had to drive extremely carefully for a couple of hours out of town to meet my mom who stays with my auntie. I visit them as much as I can and I love to be there in a more rural setting taking a break from the city life.

My mom is a generally strong but like many old folks, illnesses come and go. Luckily she exercises through a lot of brisk walking and gardening. However, she has been quite sicked since fall last year and I’m worried. By her own strength and positive attitude, her health had become better since last one month and I’m glad for it. She knows I consulted Maria Duval and she too has read something about her although not all of those are positive. Precisely she believed in me (and I’m glad) and wanted to consult Maria Duval herself too to improve on her life which she says is the most precious at her age.

Now she has the letter of Maria Duval analyzing her health prospects this year and I’m happy that Maria Duval says that she would be excellent and there is a lucky period coming up in the second half of the year. Maria Duval also advises her to carry a talisman so that she can attract more positive forces to overcome her inner negative energies that have been residing inside her since last year. This is roughly what Maria Duval says about her and never had I feel happier when I’m with her when I read that.

Mum receives Maria Duval’s letter

Somewhere near the beginning of this blog, I mentioned that my mom would be delighted if she can receive a letter from Maria Duval too personalized it to her name. She was not that feeling well in the last quarter of 2006 herself however, to my best concern, her health had recovered a lot since early 2007. She’s my only kin left and although we don’t stay together, we talk on the phone every night and I told her that she needed to send in her offer letter with her own name. That was about mid February and now after some weeks of waiting, she has finally received her personalised offer. This weekend I’ll be going to her place to talk more to her about it.

Maintaining the energy level is important

I admit we are living in this very busy world. In fact I find that we are too tensed up. People seldom smile at each other in big hectic cities and this is something I don’t like as it makes people seem so far away. Every morning on the way to workplace, I see many grumpy faces, my goodness, morning should be the happiest time of the day but somehow people are look stressed and emotionally depressed sometimes.

Spiritually we are lacking. The world of deadlines, time constraints, and mental pressures and at home you have family commitments, children, relationships and many other activities that requires your time and energy. All these take energy from your body and mind. I always share with my clients to live more for our life rather than purely for material returns because these won’t bring you true happiness. They are all very surprised and some even said I had laid back attitude. It’s true, how many wealthy men are truly happy in life? I think that they worry about their wealth and taxes. I do need some wealth however it’s not to the extent of purely blind pursuit at the expense of my spiritual wholeness. I have to thank Maria Duval for bringing me to light about this issue because I am much happier now compared to a couple years back.

I vow that I want to a life where I have a chance to see my children one day. I still have high hopes I can find a partner soon – I on a lookout constantly and I don’t think I’m losing the edge yet. I realize to address my energy levels now and don’t wait until physical ill health occurs in my way. Therefore when I’m free, I go for a walk, learn to meditate, smile a lot or eat well. All these are good ways to maintain my internal energies. Thanks Maria Duval because I learned this from you.

‘But’

One blog i visited earlier catches my attention and one of the particular posts there talks about the prevalent usage of this word ‘but’. ‘But’, according to him, is a very negative word that because its usage in a sentence usually negates what the writer is really trying to express. Take for example, you say, “David, I don’t mean to reprimand you BUT what you did was really careless.” So, do you really mean to reprimand David or not? Subconsciously, your brain has already decided that David should be reprimanded and to David, he just knows that you are going to reprimand him.

It’s been known that the choice of words can have an effect in directing people’s thoughts and ‘but’ is one of those words. I complete agree of the blogger Sridhar because I think this word has already been overly misused, whether in daily conversations or those TV shows. Too much of it can subconsciously change you to a more negative person because of the word’s meaning. I would say, reduce as much as it as you can if you wish to build a better mental state with positive attitude.

Instead of using ‘but’, use ‘and’ in its place and it will have a very different effect. I hope I have expressed the idea well.
