I am quite taken with the notion from last week that prosperity does not come from outside ourselves, but rather from ourselves; as last week's reader said, from our heart center. Worth pondering.

Speaking of prosperity, and concerning our discussion of resistance and allowing, here's what one reader has to say:

"Right before Christmas, I realized it's harder for me to receive than to give. I said to myself, 'This Christmas I will open up and receive, as well as give.' (Jett says, Hmmmm, moving from resistance to allowing.)

Amazing things happened, including an unexpected $3,000 in my paycheck, which I just found out is now a permanent part of my salary!

Then I was contacted by a dear friend who had lived with our family 31 years ago. We had lost touch for decades, but I never forgot her. I recently joined Facebook, which is how she found me. She phoned, and we talked as if no time had passed!

She is now a millionaire, and she wants to fly my family, seven of us, to her home near Washington, D.C. to stay for two weeks and see the sights -- her treat. She said, 'You shared your home with me and now I want to do the same for you.'

After these things happened, I recalled my pre-Christmas intention."

Hmmmm indeed.

This is my last week in Guanajuato. I remain enchanted, and I'm already planning to return next year.

I had an interesting conversation with a reader. She said that she enjoys using the Intention Cards, and that she picks one at random every morning. She has found the cards to be apt and enlightening.

Then she said this: Looking at the Prosperity Card, after I'd picked it for the third time, I noticed that the energy was moving from the center outward. Funny, but I'd always thought of prosperity as something that would come to me from the outside in. I am intrigued with the idea that prosperity is not outside of me. I am connecting with the feeling of prosperity in my heart center.

If prosperity dwells within, is it resistance that blocks it? If we resist less and allow more, will prosperity be the result?

I said, isn't it interesting that, having ended up with the Prosperity Cards three times, you have now come to a more profound understanding of prosperity? It's true, the Intention Cards work -- they help to bring about the change you want. They are imbued with the energy of joyful fulfillment.

By the way, I put a few photos of Guanajuato up on my web site. I remain enchanted with the place. You can find them on the Where Is Jett? page. You can also see and purchase Intention Cards on my Web site. And remember, if you don't like to use PayPal, you needn't. Just let me know and we'll use a different form of payment.

In response to last week's Tenacity Notes, about resistance and allowing, a reader wrote:

"The world and all its kingdoms are being challenged to open up and receive." The world and all its kingdoms, which includes me (and you).

Actually, she wrote much more, which I will share with you next week.

I am delighted to be living in Guanajuato, Mexico. I am enchanted. I'm even learning a little Spanish, although I understand far less than I hear, and I speak far less than I understand. I'll be here until January 29.

A happy and fulfilling 2011 to you.

For the rest of January I'll be in Guanajuato, Mexico. I'll be studying Spanish at a language school there, and I'll be living with a local family. I am quite excited.

I imagine my brain cells will be quivering after being immersed in a language and a culture I do not know. Wow. I'll write some kind of Tenacity Notes from Guanajuato, but with a quivering brain, who knows what I'll have to say? Maybe just Hola Amigos! (amigos y amigas? ya'll?)

In the meantime, I'm thinking about resistance. I'm thinking about resistance (to life, to me, to my own potential, to being open and vulnerable) and how it shows up in my body. I'm thinking about resistance and the opposite of resistance -- allowing. Allowing life. Allowing others to be who they are. Allowing me to be who I am. Allowing the unknown. I'm thinking about allowing, and how allowing shows up in my body.
