Did you check out that thread in the H.L. on working with the xAP?

Hi IMEP,


I’m not the expert at LC around here Iddy and Victory are. CL-Iddy is on east coast time so she is probably nitey-nite. You know they get the sun before us west coasters but hey we can look all kwel like young adults staying up late ;) Even if it takes two young adult ages to add up to mine ;)


You know Imust, I was thinking the other night what makes some people more successful at the NC stuff than others. Sure your LC throws a wrench in it but really there is something more too it. Then I was thinking about something Energy wrote to a poster about how a drug addict has to hit rock bottom. How it usually takes that for them to finally have enough and start climbing up and out of the whole they dug themselves into. I also read that Poem called Enough and I added it to the “Wisdom and Insight 2” thread in the Healing Library. I think those two concepts are what make some more successful than others. When you have truly had enough and you really want to end it you will. Despite anything xAP does.


Imust, if you will indulge me I’d like to share a story with you. I wanted an Oak Table for my dinning room. I would go to furniture stores and they would want anywhere from $700-$2,500 (USD)

Whether you think you can or you think you can't you are probably right. A parrot can repeat what it has learned but the mark of true intelligence is applying what is learned.

I feel for you imust. Like clarity says, you have to be strong. Okay, so you didn't close IM today, but now you know what you have to do next time. Right?

What a beautiful post empowerment. Not only did you end up with a great table, it sounds like it turned into a fun family project. Good stuff!

Thanks Kilowatt,


We worked for endless hours stripping and sanding. We did several coats of stain and more than three coats of finish. When you work that hard with your hands, it is tiring but very rewarding to see what your hard work produces.
