4:40 pm	Perpetuum Bonnum This was my first real experience with any of the TALs. I bought a bottle from a forumite. Who couldn't use more good fortune and prosperity? I haven't had much experience with rituals so I did a very low-level meditation deal. Basically, I just inhaled and applied the oil thinking of things that indicate prosperity to me - an influx of money, having good spirits, being able to spend some time with my husband, being stress free. I have used this 3 times now. Here are my results: First time, I didn't have any specifics in mind. More of a general "I welcome showers of good fortune from the universe". I felt less stressed, more grounded. I also found that I had good energy at work. Mostly, I felt calm and collected. I did some good work and had a great evening with my hubby. He was supposed to work, but decided spending time with me would be better. That usually doesn't happen! I felt that everything was real subtle and could have been taken as coincidence at first. Second time - This time I wanted a bit of good fortune in terms of work. Mainly, a bit of recognition and some much needed income for my department. I applied this and meditated before going to bed. The next morning, I was surprised to find that my department helped gain the company nearly 30K in new revenue. Considering that at least one client had already decided on someone else to develop their website, getting this deal was really surprising. They came back simply for the prospect of working with my department - and - they decided to let us do the website after all. Another client who is especially enamoured threw 3 new projects our way based on the work I'm currently doing for them. All in all, very positive. Last time: I was all about the money. My husband does many hours of side-work each week. He has three main "clients" - but what they really are are big 'ol moochers. He helps them out doing all manner of computer things for them (setting up their entire IT infrastructures) and not one of them pays him anything. This has been a major point of argument between us. His time is valueable. There have been entire weekends when the only time I got to see him was 3-4 hours, and that was just for meals because he has to eat some time. If your goal of side work is to bring home some extra money to help with the bills, you better bring home some money, damnit! I am quite pleased to say that after 2 years of doing work for one person, and things coming to a head about being used - my hubby brought home a $5k check last night! The funny thing is that the guy had written the check on Friday - my husband didn't even have a heart to heart with him until Monday. I was floored. (Comment on this)
