Ok, I don't get it.

[lildreamer316]

I have resisted posting about our situation since things seemed to be looking up, and I know you all get tired of the drama queen routine.But I need your light a bit.

Yes, husband has been working steady at the job. BUT, they have had numerous problems. First, the GM quit TWO days into the opening because he didn't get along with the owner. Because of this, neither dj's paperwork got filed, so husband did not receive a paycheck for two weeks,almost three (they get paid every week on Friday). Then, when he *did* get paid; they had his shift pay at $45 instead of the agreed-upon $75, AND they took out $150 EVERY CHECK for child support, when they are supposed to only take out $75 a paycheck (that still has him paying DOUBLE on the child support every month at $75 a check). And on top of all this, they made the other main guy take more nights than husband (husband has equal amount of shifts, just more days than nights), and then gave two of husband's (extra; now all djs have same amt of)shifts to a new guy since they think they should have three djs instead of two (hired third guy for backup) to make the shift spread 'fair'.

He just got a check for FORTY SEVEN DOLLARS.
How the HELL are we supposed to pay bills like this?
He has ONE night where he makes money; and we are lucky if that will carry us through the week. We're still in dire straits with bill collectors breathing down our neck. Neither of us thought this was going to be this bad.

On the bright side, other than this problem he absolutely LOVES the club and the managers and even the owner like him a lot. He has not been able to set things right with the owner pay-wise because the man has other clubs and is gone out of town a lot. He just opened a new nightclub in Myrtle Beach last week - very busy.

If you could spare some encouraging light and thoughts our way to meet this (hopefully LAST for the time being) challenge with a positive attitude I would greatly appreciate it. I find that both of us are being a bit more negative and harboring wishes of others to fail(not seriously, but a little bit) when we should not be doing so.

We are soooooo close to everything being on a semi-even keel. We don't need much, but this is still cutting us short. It's extremely frustrating.

Thanks all, and sorry to ask again. I just feel like we keep running into walls that we can just see over,if that makes any sense.

1. Blessings of abundance

and prosperity to you!

What about lighting a green candle and placing some coins around it. Sunday would be an excellent day for this, particularly with a waxing moon.

If you like, you could say words of power for abundance, as outlined in Marion Weinstein's book, Positive Magic. They have helped me in dire times.
Think a bit first about what would constitute a sense of abundance/prosperity/security for you.

For example:
"There is One Power
and that Power is perfect abundance (or whatever other words would express your needs)
And I (your name) am a perfect manifestation of this Power.
Therefore perfect abundance is mine, here and now.
For the good of all,
and according to free will,
and so it must be."

You can also add these words before "for the good of all":

"I call to me just enough resources,
Knowing that I deprive none,
and am not deprived myself.
I have just enough."

Weinstein's book was first published in 1978 but I think it's been revised and re-printed in recent years.

From what I've seen, employers are getting really ugly about paychecks.

Both my daughters have been stiffed on pay a few times.

Earlier this year my husband worked for an IT company where, if you didn't file your hours by a certain time and fax them in, no pay that week. And for some reason the fax machine was always broken on filing day. Or the supervisors would be unavailable to approve the hours.

He heard through the grapevine that this company manages to deliberately stiff up to 40% of its employees out of their pay on any given week. Apparently by holding on to that money an extra week or two, the company makes a little extra interest on it, and keeps their weekly payroll obligations smaller. It happened to him 3 times during his 4 months there, and each time we were forced to buy groceries and pay bills by credit card.

Not surprisingly the company is owned by some sleazebag who was involved in a Wall Street scandal some years ago. Fortunately my husband left the company last month and works for a huge accounting firm now.

2. Thank you!

I will definitely do that.
I don't know if this is deliberate or not. I'm getting the impression that the company headquarters (a few hours north of here) are the root of the problem - just someone being incompetent; not paying attention; and a probable miscommunication about the pay (husband was hired in January at $75 a shift, but the club didn't open until June and the owner probably got busy and distracted and did not double-check what he had said).

That sucks about your husband; glad he's got a better job now. I know that must be a HUGE relief to your family!!

4. if it happens again, check your state labor laws

There should be a statement about when wages *must* be paid by. Usually it's no longer than the paycheck covers. So if you're paid weekly, wages must be paid within 1 week of last day worked. And so on.

3. ((((( lild & fam )))))

Ugh. I know this is all very frustrating for you. I'm sure it will get at least a little bit better soon.

5. Positive vibes for lildreamer & hubbie

6. Wow, LD, what in the world is going on?

:hug:

Is anyone in your family hanging onto fear related to making ends meet, thereby preventing the flow of abundance?

I've been finding great success from talking with the angels lately--have you given that a try?

In the meantime, sending light so the money issues get cleared up--FOR GOOD THIS TIME! Selah. :hi:

[BlueIris]

7. I second the "talk with the angels" thing, even though until recently I thought the idea

was crap. I just kept thinking, "Angels? Really?"

A warning, re: angels, though: Don't ask for help from them unless you are prepared to get it. Really. I asked the angel of necessary endings (Azrael) to stop on by a couple of weeks back and...things got really interesting really fast.

Sounds like you need a money angel, (Uriel would be my choice) and then perhaps some help from Galgaliel (angel of the sun, optimistic clarity) and Shekinah (completion of a cycle). But srsly--don't call on anyone specifically unless you are truly prepared to accept the help. I wasn't and I kinda regret bugging them because now all I can think is, "Geeze, why couldn't you have waited two weeks? Take it back!"

9. Same here, BI

I used to have a heck of a time communicating with angels, so I gave up. But then recent dire circumstances led me back to give it another try, and OMG :wow: (as, apparently, you well know!)

But I think for your situation they acted at the correct time--I don't think they act at an incorrect time, in other words. They saw the opportunity and took it and, while it may have been a little too soon for your liking from your perspective, it was probably for the best.

You know what I enjoy the most? The sense of humor. I didn't expect that at all--I guess we're always led to believe that angels are serious, fierce beings. And they are, when they have to be, but they're also REALLY funny. I'm liking their energy a whole lot these days. :hi:

8. A friend of mine recently went through a clearing of scarcity & other thoughforms from relatives

a thoughtform is like a mini program that can say embody a parent's habitual worry energy sometimes even repeating favorite phrases such as "I don't know why I bother, I might as well give up" or "I would rather be poor than rich and cruel like so and so". Or just think of any time you found this person's words coming out of your mouth to your shock even if swore you would never say what your mother/father/grandparent said to you to your own child. when I have a stubborn issue I check for stuff like this in case it is making resolution just that much harder, even if it is only 1%.

10. it could be a number of things

As others have mentioned, you or hubby could still be harboring some "anti-abundance / not enough" thought-forms.

However, that's not always the case. I know that I had worked through my anti-abundance thought forms back in 93-94, and then was graced with enormous abundance until '02.

I've spent the last 7 years working on healing wounds and negative thought forms. But now I'm running into $$ roadblock after roadblock too. After reading your OP here, I started wondering if we have something in our charts that matches, lol! Every time I think, "Phew! One more (sale, paycheck, whatever) and I'll be able to breathe again!" the universe either comes up with an unexpected expense or ends the income. Every flippin' time!

For almost 7 years I worked from a position of believing in the abundance of the universe. It is only now, after setback after setback after roadblock, until my bank account was down to $50 that I've started having negative $$ thoughts arise. It's still hard to believe after all the inner work AND all the applications and resumes and interviews, that I've netted nada, zip, zilch.

I also know lot of people are being blocked right now in one area of their life or another. So maybe we're all being driven to look inward and make changes of different sorts.

The $$ blockage could be about re-setting priorities. Abundance means having all that you need...not necessarily every gadget that you want. (I've been re-setting and re-thinking mine all along, and it continues to this day.)

It could be about learning to stand up for yourself (or yourselves). (This, I believe, pertains to me right now. I've been robbed so many times in the past, and the robbers have never seemed to get more than a slap on the wrist, in part because I didn't make the right stink in the right way at the right time. I was too forgiving...)

It could be about pushing you to step out and find a way to pick up some extra income, through some unexplored talent or aspect of yourself.

Or it could just be some larger force acting right now that's affecting a lot of us and will break through, piece by piece, over coming weeks. And that all we can do it find creative ways to ride it out until the breakthrough really happens.

There is enormous imbalance in our economy right now. Apparently there has never been this big a disconnect between the top 1% and the rest of us. And I've never in my life seen the amount of just plain stealing from employees.

11. THANK YOU, everyone.

I'm taking all the suggestions in this thread an working with them. I'm speaking out loud (I'm home alone with kid alot, he dosen't look at me funny when I do this!) to my guides and the Angels and I feel better already. No one is actually breaking down our door (trans: lights/water/cable shutting off, or storage unpaid); but I know things are getting ready to be due and I guess that's why I'm freaking out. I need to do it one day at a time and shut the mind chatter.

Thanks again.
