On this beautiful Spring day in San Diego, I was thrilled to have my first client session at TheHeartSpace! It feels good to be back at work and I am so excited about the new space. I spent several hours there this week beginning to "nest." There is still much to do and I have not quite settled on the class schedule.
I had hoped that my penultimate post would have evoked more reader response and a discussion ensue. Rather than wait much longer, I shall go ahead and let you know how the saga evolved:
On Monday, I took the purse back to Target and explained my story. At first, the customer service clerk was confused and tried to tell me she could not refund my money since it was not rung up as a sale. I was finally able to explain that I wanted to pay for the purse not return it. Here it is Friday, and well, I returned the purse...again. Somehow, I just felt it was weird to keep it. Yeah, I know, I probably spent more on time and gas for this little exercise. I am glad I returned the purse both times--for the karma and ethical factor and then today, for the fashion factor.
The good news of all this is that while at Target today, I purchased some Cabernet Sauvignon and I GOT CARDED!!!! Oh joy, oh rapture. I actually asked the sales clerk again, " Are you actually asking to see my ID for the wine?" My exuberance seemed to create a level of dismay for her. I was not trying to embarass her, I was happily dumbfounded and floated out of the store.
Wait a minim.....
Tonight, we rented the new film, "The Fabelmans" and loved it. Incredible performances, screenwriting and story-telling. I espec...

your purse story provoked a lot of introspection; perhaps that's why there were few responses. for me, it finally came down to: if they had overcharged me, what would i have done? in the end, i have to do what is right for me, regardless. i'm glad for you it turned out to be to take the purse back.
i, too, want more info on heartspace. i am ready to support and be supported.
Glad to have the feedback.
Maybe anonymous is right--it is a thought provoker and I am glad it may have created some introspection.
REW tried to post but it didn't go through. So here is what he sent me via e-mail:
"First...I would ask a close friend if this purse makes me "look fat"...THEN I would check myself in for therapy for going purse shopping....
Take it back....you will love yourself for it."
For me, this little adventure has created a cycle of intropsection about how I respond or behave in a lot of ways that I may not have examined for awhile. Most of learn the difference between right and wrong; then we learn about cause and effect and karma and now we are at a deeper level of understanding the Law of Attraction.
Is it human nature to want something for nothing? Does it come from conditioning in childhood when I didn't know God as Source and we lived in near poverty? Since I don't think everyone lived under their means, it can only lead me to believe that it sparks the childlike response of wanting, getting and having without cost or responsiblity.
Dr. Jim and I had a talk about something similar in regards to the psychology of "freebies" and the crazy things people will do (myself included) to get the proverbial give-away or freebie.
I spent almost two hours yesterday doing things I didn't necessarily need to do because I was enticed to come back for a raffle drawing and free coffee!
Go figure!
And in regards to HeartSpace, I will be posting more information on that shortly as the details become clear. Glad to hear that there is interest because Dr. Jim and I are oh so eager to get it open and serving.
Once I ordered my son a toy jackhammer. I picked up the box and Sears and took it home. When I opened the box at home, it contained a dozen jackhammers! I took eleven back to Sears. The clerk said that I could not return them because they were never purchased. I said that I had no use for a dozen toy jackhammers. I finally asked for a manager. I explained my story AGAIN and he agreed to take the jackhammers back. However, he could not give me any paperwork because the jackhammers did not truly exist, in their world.
Duchess,
Come on! I know you are not old enough to consume wine. Who are you trying to kid?
