CALM IN THE STORM

Beloved,

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

A lot of events have been showing up that used to send me into a tizzy. It is so wonderful to be able to keep my “cool” and handle the situations with a clear head and also a clear heart. My heartfelt belief is that we as a species have come through some turbulent times which challenged us so much that what is happening now is small in comparison. I don’t like to always look back at the past yet it has so much wisdom for us if we take the time to decipher what is happening in the moment with that hard-earned wisdom.

I was due a credit on my charge card and even though I check it item by item when I get the paper carrying all the charges, something guided me to check it out on line. To my surprise, I had (4) $100 charges that said Category: Telephone Service. I had recently purchased a new cell phone at Walmart’s so I assumed that was the error was. My deduction is that they had put incorrect data when I switched my minutes to the new one although it was still a Tracfone like my old one. I checked out the Description and it said: GTL *Inmate phone svc in Alabama. ?????

First I checked with my charge card company but they could offer me no explanation. I then called the 877 number on my bill and discovered much to my surprise that someone had used my credit card to give an inmate $400 worth of phone time. I was told it was more than likely someone who knew me because the charge was done electronically and the person would have to know my zip code, my security code, and my name as well as my credit card number. I still had the card in my possession and I wracked my brain to remember somewhere were the card was out of my sight but could come up with nothing. The person could not give me any more information and suggested that the only way to access who had made the charges was to call the police and file a credit card fraud charge.

I then called the police and they offered to send the State Police as we are a small town and do not have a full schedule of officers. I declined as it was not a serious offense enough to bring them in and asked for an officer from my local police. He came over and took all the information and said he would call me when he got the information I was looking for. I was not frightened but very curious; I wanted to know who it was and how they had gotten my info without my knowledge. The officer called me two days later and said that he would have to go to court and get a legal court order? Before the GTL could give him the info. Sooooo, I am now waiting to see what transpires next.

Of course, I then contacted my charge card company again and they canceled my credit card and credited me with the $400. It is time consuming to have to contact all the companies that I have used for years and now have to change the credit card number. It will certainly keep my awareness sharp as I need to remember to do that every time I pay them. During this day, I kept being amazed at how calm I was and how I did not feel like a victim. My breathing was regular even though every now and them, I would take a deep breath to bring myself back to the present moment during all these negotiations. Today I came across another deeper meaning of breathing. It really hits home and I have felt myself being more and more aware of my breathing and my trust in God. I hope this brings you peace of heart.

Do you remember a few weeks back when a drug manufacturer hiked the price of a drug 1,000%. Here is another response to the ridiculousness of what that man did.

Do you remember “Back to the future 2”? I know it made all the news as that movie had predictions for 2015. It is funny to see the reenactment of this on Jimmy Kimmel. Enjoy and smile.

Here is another perspective of your breath. It is a tool that is with you always yet you only need to be aware of it. What an easy way to be who we are.

Is there any such thing as an empathy muscle? Are the movies of today making us harden our hearts to disasters or any other kind of tragedy a human may face?
