๐Ÿ˜ˆ a knot ๐Ÿ˜‡

Posted: Fri, Jan 18, 2019 07:25:32 AM

in my gut, is certainly a harbinger that i may be traipsing into less than stellar behaviors. very rarely does that knot persist until i get to my TENTH STEP in the evening, as for me, it is more of a here and now sort of thing.
it is ironic that over the past few days, i have called out the scammers at: MAPLE INTERNATIONAL GROUP INC. for what they are: liars and thieves. as a result the “broker” who is working me over is ll butt-hurt about being called out. had he just walked away instead of hammering me, i might have done the same. he decided in all his infinite wisdom that he could wave away the evidence of what he is doing with an insult to my manhood and a cry about how much education he had. 😭 😭 😭 perhaps they should learn to spell before trying to tell me how forthright, honest and trustworthy they are: “Maple Intertenational Group | Exellence In Real Estate.” (sic) i had no trouble sleeping the past two nights after starting my campaign to get them shut-down. i relish the response i may get when i arrive home from work today and start phase 2.
there was a time, just a few days ago, when i was going to ask them how much it was worth to them for me to help them correct and remove the evidence i uncovered about who they were and what they were doing. was willing to do that consulting gig for around 10K and then, dang it all, there was that knot in my stomach, as i realized that helping them made me an accomplice to their crime. as i went through that decision on my inventory that night, i also saw that even if i “got away” with helping them cover their tracks, i would have to bear the weight of all of their victims, as i can no longer knowingly and willingly take advantage of others.
this morning as i prepare to head on down to work, i am quite content with the campaign i have launched to shut these a$$holes down. when i do my inventory this evening, i am more than certain to have to look at this once again. i am grateful that i have the willingness to look at my day and see my part in all of what has happened. the smoke and mirrors get cleared away and i get another day clean.

Book 2

2) But I have three precious things which I prize and hold fast. The
first is gentleness; the second is economy; and the third is shrinking
from taking precedence of others.
