Dear Agony Aunt.... from a broke Wanderer

[Jade]

For what it's worth, I believe that working to feed your family is an STO endeavor, even if you feel as if it's for yourself. I'm sure if you had no family to support you'd enjoy being a pauper and serving others completely selflessly, but as it is, you are still making decisions to take care of others.

And as a spin off to plenum's post, I think instead of looking for ways to be of service, to ask for ways to be presented to you. When I do my morning centering I ask for any opportunities where I might be of service to come to me. And they do, even if they are just small little things, like PMing with someone on facebook and finding out they are currently in the middle of their dialysis treatment, or meeting a child at the grocery store and making them smile and laugh with goofy faces. It's not always about dedicating the resources ahead of time - as in, x amount of hours or dollars to a charitable cause. It's about finding ways to serve that already fit in with your vibration - and they will come.

Also, I think we here spend a lot of effort worrying about "harvest" and "polarizing", when I doubt there are many regular posters who wouldn't qualify for the 51%. I think for most, reading the LOO and resonating with the desire to serve others is just about enough to put someone over the 51%, and after that it just becomes work in refining our consciousness to allow more of those opportunities to serve to present themselves to us.
