“When I was out walking the other day, I started thinking about the lady, that one the 100million. “Wouldn’t it be nice” as the saying goes. The lady who remains nameless (cannot think why) is going to give up her job, good for her. She is probably planning what to do with the money. It was said that she would buy herself a house, fantastic. Maybe plan some holidays, cruises etc, simply divine for those who like to cruise. If she has children, I imagine she would help them out too, I’m not that intimate with her yet.
But hold on. This could be a time when she doesn’t know how many friends or relatives she has, as they may come out of the woodwork when they hear of her good fortune. So, as much as it is lovely winning all that money it can come with some headaches.
Then again l got to thinking with all that money she might isolate herself for a while, while she takes it all in.
So, again I got to thinking (doing a lot of that lately), with all that money what will the lady be missing out on. Having to get up and going to work (mmmm) missing out on socialising. Standing in the queues at Coles or Woolworths either checkout or self-serve again maybe socialising. Waiting in the queue or on the phone to Centrelink, everyone loves that. Less housework, pay someone to do it for you. I suppose you could chat to them while they are working,
There is so much to think about it could do your head in, for what one has to remember is that with all that money, comes a certain amount of responsibility. Getting the right people to handle it for you, ensuring that the money goes where you want it to go. Taking stock of who your true friends were before the money landed in your lap.
My wish for this lady is that she be very discerning dealing with people now and in the future.
That the true friends that were there before her good fortune are still with her, treasure them for they will help to keep her grounded. Always remember to be kind and cherish the love of family and friends, those that have been with you during those up and down times.
This lady has been gifted this money for a reason, and I pray that with the guidance of her Spirit guides she will spend it wisely. I, and you all, have probably heard the stories about people who have won big on the lotteries, but it doesn’t always end happy, but l feel that with all our good wishes and Spirit’s blessing, she will be fine. For whatever reason the light has shone on her today and all I can say is, “Go enjoy yourself, bring love and light to your part of the world.”
For me personally, I think it would frighten the life out of me to win that much. I don’t need a lot of money, enough to be comfortable, yes, but having family and friends which I treasure, is all I need in this life.”
