Greetings!
We have finally bought another car!
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Most car dealerships here closed on Saturday and Sunday. On regular weekdays, they closed at 6 p.m., but stayed open until 8 or 9 p.m. on Monday and Thursday.
On a Thursday, our son drove us to look for a car after he got off work. I found online two car dealerships that had the cars I looked for and fitted my budget. One car dealership was about half an hour away, and the other one was farther away. The night before I had talked to my son that we would go to the dealership that was close to us. I prayed for guidance on Thursday, and got that we should go to the one that was farther away. My son was surprised when I told him the change of plan.
We left around 6 p.m. There was a lot of cars on the road because many people were going home after work. Seeing the traffic, I was somewhat concerned because this car dealership closed at 8 p.m. Then a car with a 707 license plate appeared in the next lane. I smiled because 707 had become an interesting number in my life. As if to ease my mind or reaffirm me, a car with a 777 license plate appeared soon after.
The car salesman was nice and helpful. When I told him the cars I was interested in, he went to look for the cars right away. After test driving the cars, I liked the first one. When we sat down to discuss the price, it was almost 8 p.m. We promised to come back the next day.
The next day my husband and I drove the old car to the dealership. (Our son had to go to work.) Though the car had quite some problems, the warning chime had been quiet for the last ten days. Amazingly, the warning chime "Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!" came on when the used car dealership was in sight as if the car was saying goodbye. I thanked the old car and the loving divine.
Days later, I told my son why I went to that dealership (as I had mentioned, he was not into spiritual stuff). He listened. He said, "I am glad you got the car you liked." I thanked him for driving us. I looked up 707 and 777 in the Angel Numbers book.
707
You're working in perfect union with God the Creator. Your willingness to trust, listen, surrender, and follow brings great miracles into your life.
777
Congratulations! You've listened well to your Divine guidance and have put that wisdom into fruitful action. You're now reaping the rewards. Your success is inspiring and helping others, so please keep up the good work.
On August 12, I drove to the place that the psychic suggested. (Re The psychic said, "You have to learn how to balance money." ) I found online the medium/healer that the psychic suggested for me to contact was the speaker that Sunday.
I had not sat among people for almost four months. As I sat down, I could feel strong healing energy poured into me and through me. The speaker gave a good talk. Near the end of the service, three mediums gave messages. I was among those that received messages. Most surprisingly, I believed it was from the master healer that moved on near the end of March. When the service was over, I stood in line to shake hands with the pastor and the mediums. No, I did not feel any connection with the medium/healer that I came to meet (at least at the time of this meeting). As for the message, I did not quite understand why the master healer said what he said.
The drive back and forth was very smooth. It was the first time I drove by myself since we bought the car.

With the car, I can go places and sit among people again. It is a very nice used car. I am grateful.
Love and blessings,

The Dream of Lettuce
Greetings!
When The psychic said, "You have to learn how to balance money." (published July 14, 2018), I immediately thought she was wrong. As she continued with the reading, I realized the advice that came through her was right.
Before I share my dream, I would like to talk about lettuce. Cantonese is my mother language. Many people that live in the southeastern part of China as well as people that live in other southeastern Asian countries know how to speak Cantonese. The sound of lettuce in Cantonese was similar to the sound of growth in fortune, wealth or money. In our Cantonese tradition, we often celebrate the Chinese New Year with a head of lettuce on the table to symbolize a new year of wealth and prosperity. We use the leaves to wrap food. People in other parts of China may have their own unique traditions. The younger generation of Cantonese that speak only Mandarin, the official Chinese language, may not know the symbolic meaning of lettuce anymore.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Setting - light, open space (i.e. without any structure or building).
People lined up in single file before an old couple, a man and a woman. There were two large baskets of fresh lettuce next to the old couple. I was among the ones that stood in the front of the line. It was a long line, and lots of people lined up behind me. (We stood in space / air / on the clouds (?), and did not stand on the ground as on earth.)
Soon, it was my turn. The kind, old man gave me a big head of lettuce. I was somewhat surprised to receive such a big head of lettuce. I thought others might need it more (urgently) than I did. I handed the lettuce to the one standing behind me. The old man gave me another head of lettuce. I continued to pass heads of lettuce to those behind me thinking "let others have the lettuce first". Then I was the only one left standing in front of the couple. The baskets looked empty. The old man bent down to pick up whatever was left. It was a very small head of lettuce. As he handed it to me, he looked at me and mildly swayed his head.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Upon waking up, I thought, "Oh, how I acted in the dream was like the me in life." Since lettuce symbolized wealth / money, I understood the old couple was handing out wealth. The long line of people might represent those that had prayed for money or financial help. In the last scene, the old man mildly swayed his head. It might be he felt I should have accepted what he gave me earlier for there was then little lettuce left. After the dream, I thought it was in character for me to do what I did in the dream, and did not look deep into what the dream was telling me.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
As I looked back at the dream, I realized it was my wrong view of money / abundance that I thought I should pass it to others first. Divine abundance is limitless. While I prayed for financial help, I was not open to receive. I realized it was me that blocked myself from receiving the money I had prayed for. The two baskets that looked empty at the end of the dream was but a reflection of my self-set limiting view of abundance.
Many years had gone by since the night I cried inside the car and my spirit guide said "Don't you know giving and receiving must be balanced?" Many years had gone by since I had the dream of lettuce. When it came to giving and receiving, I continued to live my life the way I had been. Never before was a psychic fair within walking distance from where I lived. It was no accident that I went to the fair and heard I had to learn how to balance money.
Love and Peace,

The psychic said, "You have to learn how to balance money."
Greetings!
In my last post What wisdom do I have? , I mentioned I only went to two spiritual gatherings in the last seven months. I had wanted to be more active in 2018. It did not turn out that way partly because of the problems with the old car.
In 2004, I suddenly announced it was time to buy another car, and we bought a used car on the same day. My decision proved to be significant as things continue to unfold. My mood was very different this time around. At first, I thought it would be better to wait until the cold weather was over. In May, I began to look up prices for used cars. The prices were higher than I had expected. Though I knew we needed another car, we had not gone to look for one so far.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
A while back, I learned about a psychic fair on the Internet. It was held in a newly built hotel that was close to where I lived. It was a half-day event that opened from noon to 5 pm. Coincidentally, there was a conflict in the family the day before the fair. Since the hotel was within walking distance, I decided to go there for a mini reading. I wanted guidance as how to handle the situation. I also wanted to know if we should spend more money fixing the old car or look for another one.
On that day, I walked to the hotel after 1 pm. I was surprised the event was held in a small room with only 6 or 7 tables. I did not expect it to be such a small event. There were leaflets about different psychics on a table outside of the room, but some psychics did not come. Only a few people had come to the fair. Some psychics did not have a client yet.
In my previous readings, I spent lots of time asking about the well being of my loved ones. Since this time I only wanted a mini reading, I intended to ask questions mainly concerning myself besides the car issue and the situation. From the information online, I had chosen a psychic. She was known for her ability and honesty in giving readings. However, she was busy when I arrived.
It so happened there was one there that had come to the Thursday circle once. We talked for a little while. She asked to give me a reading. I told her I preferred a psychic that had not met me before. She did not get that I was saying "no", and went ahead to give me a reading. She described my family such as the number of children and grandchildren I had. It was probably her off day. When her timing device sounded off, she wanted to continue. I said I only wanted a mini reading. I gave her the money. Suddenly, she seemed to listen to something that came to her. She asked me a question. I was stunned. I wondered "Why did she suddenly ask me such a question? How did this question come about?" Anyway, I answered "no" **. She seemed puzzled. She said, "Are you sure . . .?" I said "no" again. I thanked her and walked out of the room. During the reading, I asked about the car. She said I should buy another one. I did not talk to her about the situation. ( ** My answer was valid. However, with the strange happenings in my life, only time would tell if there was any significance for me to hear that.)
Standing outside of the room, I thought, "Is that it? I come here for nothing!" My English was limited. I had difficulty listening and asking questions when I had readings by phone. My grandchildren spoke English. I could not catch every word they said when they talked to me over the phone. I felt more at ease talking to others face to face. I walked back into the room. I did not want to miss the opportunity of talking face to face with the psychic that I had come for.
Two women were sitting in front of the psychic. A woman that sat by the front desk asked if I wanted a reading by that psychic. I said I wanted a mini reading. She said other people had booked appointments with the psychic. However, she knew the reading for the two women were almost over, and I could get a reading before another person arrived.
When I sat down by the psychic, she asked to hold my hands and said a prayer. Right after that, she said, "You have to learn how to balance money." I thought, "Why does she say I have to learn how to balance money? I had always paid my bills on time no matter how difficult it was. This shows that I can balance money!" The psychic said, "You always want to give your money away. You want to help others, yet you are not open to receive. Don't you know giving and receiving must be balanced?" Suddenly, she said one sentence about my husband. I did not expect to hear that. While I was pondering why she said that, she moved on to talk about money. She said, "Keep the money that comes to you. Don't give it to any one." Then she said, "While you have to learn how to balance money, your son (older son) has to learn how to manage money." She went on to describe his way of being. Later, she said, "You know within that it is in divine order for you and your husband to live with your son." (It was true. That was why we moved to another state with him, but my husband did not have the same knowing.) She said it was beneficial to the three of us (i.e. our son and us) for we could learn lessons in our relationship. She affirmed that our son loved us as I had heard in other readings, and that he did pay attention to what I had to say. The messages she related were the answers to the situation. When I asked about the car, she said we should buy another car. She paused for a while. She said, "Oh, you are (here to be) a minister!" Her words surprised me. I did not have the mastery of language or qualification. I said I did want to find a church that I would go to regularly. I asked for her recommendation. She mentioned a couple of Unity Churches. I told her I was a healer. I asked if there was a church that offered healing service. She recommended a church and immediately used her phone to find the person that I should contact.
She gave me booklets about an upcoming spiritual gatherings in the other part of the state. There would be known spiritual teachers and healers from other states. She asked me to consider going there. She was kind enough to talk to me longer than a mini reading. Knowing others were waiting to be read, I thanked her and left.
A day later, she emailed me the name and contact number of the minister that was in charge of the healing service in that church. Without a dependable car, I had as yet contacted the minister or visited that church.
The psychic was right about my attitude toward money as well as my son should learn how to manage money. I was glad I went to the fair. Though the answers might lie within, sometimes other's words helped to clear our mind.

In my post Giving and Receiving Love Must Be Balanced (published on June 25, 2011) I wrote about the following incident that happened in the restaurant years.
Most of our business came from carry-out orders. Customers picked up their orders and left. A few regulars often left a tip. I served all with love and respect. I never took into account if they gave me tips or not. One day, almost all the customers that came to pick up their orders left me a big tip. They did not say a word. They just looked at me with love and compassion. While my husband was driving us home that night, I was overwhelmed with emotions. Tears dripped down my face. In my heart, I said, "I am grateful for their (customers) kindness, but what have I done to put myself in this pitiful position!" I 'heard' a 'sigh', and my spirit guide said, "Don't you know giving and receiving must be balanced!"After the recent reading, I realized I continued to live in the same old pattern about money after the above incident that happened long ago. Giving and receiving must be balanced was not only about love! In retrospect, I had many dreams and experiences that should have caused me to examine my attitude toward money. However, I failed to make a change in my life.
I will share with you some of the dreams and experiences in my next post. (Next post The Dream of Lettuce )
