The Makeover

I have been unemployed for over 4 months. During this time, my income has decreased to 1/5 of my salary. My family has had to make changes in our lifestyle due to this drastic change. I consider myself to be Spiritual and not religious, therefore, I rely on my inner spirit to guide me. Yesterday, while watching a episode of Oprah "Spirituality 101", I began to receive various revelations regarding the direction of my life as well as this great country, the United States.



It occurred to me that the present economy is similar to a game of Monopoly. When someone gains control of the money, property, etc., the game is over as the other players are unable to participate. I declared, those with the money must release it so everyone can participate in the game. Shortly thereafter, a news presentation was on my television speaking about a billionaire, Peter G. Peterson, devoted $1 billion of his wealth to tackle some of the critical challenges threatening the nation's well-being. Nearly 30 years ago, he chaired the commission that recommended that foundations be required to give away at least 5% of their assets annually, a rule the government adopted and which still holds today. His organization, http://www.pgpf.org

engages in a range of grant-making and operational activities, placing special emphasis on three key audiences: younger people, the business and professional community, and the media. I received this as a confirmation of a Release and the revelation began to flow...



The spirit impressed upon me that this country is in the process of a "Makeover" as well as everyone who has been struggling with lost jobs, savings, homes, cars, etc. A Makeover is defined as: "An overall treatment to improve the appearance or change the image. " The U.S. is in that process with a new, first ever, african american president and first family, tackling an enormous deficit, wars, etc. President Obama is changing the "appearance and changing the image" of the United States and the way other countries preceive us. Green energy, universal healthcare, etc. Most of our industries are reevaluating the consumption, greed and wasteful spending that has deteriorated our economy and way of life.



Makeovers require change, renovation and sometime distruction of the old to create the new. It is with this message, I decided to share this revelation:

• Make a list of all the things you want to "Makeover" in your life (physical, mentally, spiritually, culturally, financially, global, etc. The sky is the limit, so look at it from the point of view money and resources are no object...


• Review the list daily for affirmations
