REBUILD: My Ultimate Fantasy

I know what happened!I've been feeling this STRONG love energy since early last week and now I remember what triggered it!I needed some inspiration so I began reading some of my favorite blogs and then I googled something like "my dreams came true". This led me to The Secret website where I became engrossed in reading the stories of people who have used their imagination and faith to attract the things they want. I'm trying to do the same since it seems to work so easily for them.Last night I did...

REBUILD: She Said I'll Have To Call 911

I got into my first fight at work today.It was some bullshit for real. There's this lady who's been there for 100 years and she's slower than a snail. There is no such thing as TEAM SERVICE there so it's every waitress for herself. You have to make sure your section is full and service them by yourself but I'm so conditioned to do team service, which means helping every table that asks, that I sometimes forget that it's not my job to do that anymore.This lady is so slow that all her tables will...

REBUILD: Thinking About Energy

I feel so much better. No, nothing has changed, just my perspective.The truth is, this man I'm sleeping in the same area with depresses me to no end. I literally FIGHT with him about our differing perspectives and I become so exasperated because he always chooses to see the dark side of life. He also makes me laugh. I tell him he's the worst (counseling) client I ever had.I had to take a walk to get away from him for a little bit so I found a back alley and sat down on the ground. I called my sons...

REBUILD: Trying To Keep The Fire Burning

Sometimes I get into a slump but what quickly shakes me out of it is to notice my surroundings. Do I belong in a homeless shelter? No. Can I do something about it? Yes.I have not met ONE person here with a positive outlook about life. Everyone complains and becomes depressed and tries to shoot down the dreams of others. Most people are nice, but at the same time, there is a lot of criticizing and backbiting, just like in the outside world.So now I have a job and everyone makes a comment about how...

REBUILD: Old & New Fantasies

I finally finished training at work which means I get to keep my tips from now on instead of having to hand them over to my trainer; ah, the joys of hazing. She's a nice young lady who has the vibe that she will become a manager one day. It's the way she works and teaches. She seems like a leader to me.This morning I went in and stood near the kitchen window waiting for customers to come in. I listened as all of the other female servers chatted and I felt kind of sad. They talked about their boyfriends...

REBUILD: Mama's Got A New Bag

I got tired of listening to the people here at the shelter complain about everything so I decided to take matter into my own hands. From the people who are around me consistently, I made them listen to me speak about thoughts becoming things and I asked each of them to speak out loud something that they wanted to happen.The first lady said, "I want to get into school and get started with my education."When I moved to the next guy and asked, "What would you like to happen?" He paused for a couple...
