13. IS IT TOO LITTLE TOO LATE?

So yesterday, I put in a full day's work, in training and orientation at the new retail job. It looks as though I may get as many as three days of work per week. However, My first check will be in three weeks and it will only be for one day of pay. In the mean time, the dogs and I are running out of food. I have less than a half tank of gas, and three payments will be taken from my account on October first, totaling $325 and I only have $173 in my account. I sold my wedding rings the other day and stuffed that cash directly in the account. I tried to sell the diamond too, but someone tried to cheat me out of it today telling me it's not a real diamond when I have papers in my hand from appraisers telling me it is indeed a very good diamond. I have more books to sell too, but am not sure where to take them to find a buyer. Also, some other loose gem stones. I appreciate my readers, but really wish they could spare me a couple of moments each week to take a look at the vendors that support my postings so that I could get some funding through this venue. I would also appreciate suggestions on additional postings on this and my other blogs as well. I plan on inputting a few more book reviews quite soon. I realized I have not yet reviewed all the wonderful things I'd love to share with those of you who enjoy reading. Back to the new job. It's a big store and the vast and varied inventory is pretty intimidating, when I am told I have to learn all the features of each item. I am also told that there are a number of high-roller customers that spend as much as 10 to 25 thousand dollars at a time in this store, which is located in a pretty swanky area of northern Fort Lauderdale, just two miles inland and surrounded by some other fine establishments that attract people who still have money to spend and spend it freely. So anyway, my $173 in the bank will cover my insurance payment and my amex bill but what of my storage fee? I am trying, bit by bit to eliminate some of the things that I really don't need to keep (even though I already eliminated hundreds of things before returning to Florida.) The problem is that each time I go there, I can only do so much because many of the things that are stacked up making it impossible to get to other things, are too heavy for me to even budge. Once I am able to cut my volume of stuff by about fifty percent, I should be able to get a much smaller unit and save some money that way. But if I could use the garage here at the house, as I was told I could do, I could save all that money and wind up saving some to get a small place of my own, as well as pay old bills that are sitting in a corner collecting more and more interest and penalty fees.
So I would like comments from others who may have job and money difficulties too, and maybe from some who have found solutions... I hold fast to my strong belief that the Universe is full of plenty of provision for everyone to have all they need every moment. I hereby go on public record: I open my mind and heart to receive all the blessings that Great Spirit bestows upon me and to witness that beneficence throughout creation. As I breathe in deeply, I accept all good. As I exhale, I release all that no longer serves. I know that no matter how dim the mortal picture may appear, the bright white light of Great Spirit continues to shine. All is in Divine and Perfect order. All is well. In gratitude for all blessings, and with love and praise to our Creator, So Mote It Be. Victoria
