She is Uplifting

Happy Friday Family,

I know I asked this last time but if you get a moment (even if its one minute) please pray for my friends mom. Her name is Karen and she is in the hospital in Philly. Please just pray that her health be restored and that she regains more brain wave activity. Thank you!! ?

I am patient and definitely feel blessed but as an “I work 24/7” entrepreneur I can get frustrated at times and that’s when I started thinking yesterday about planting seeds.

When you plant a seed does the flower grow overnight or does it have to be watered and nurtured to eventually fully blossom.
If you plant a seed then take care of it and nurture it and give it lots of love and attention and it WILL blossom. How many flowers don’t when you do the “right” things?
If not it will wither and die. But the thing about it dying is that once it does you can plant more seeds…the cycle is never ending.

This is kind of how I view life. If you put the right amount of time, effort, love, and respect into something or someone eventually at some point things will blossom and if it doesn’t and it does “fail” then you can always start a new.

I think that learning how to manifest what you want at a more rapid rate has been a life long journey for many people for a long long time. But what if it’s not about how fast you can get to your goal. I know this might sound crazy but what if it’s about the experience and the journey too. What if every single thing that happens to you…EVERY single thing, is in some kind of divine order.

DIVINE ORDER

I am a firm believer that everything is in divine order…even the not so great stuff.
A family member of mine is a teacher and she told me yesterday that today she was going to be interviewed by the Washington Post paper. She told me the story was about “National Board” teachers. She said that she had been trying to pass this National Board test for the past three years and kept failing and how she realized that it wasn’t the right time then. She realized that it is a blessing that she just passed it recently and that this renowned writer happens to be doing his story on it now and not three yeas ago.

These things happen all the time but it is really only in the past few years that I almost instantly make the connection that everything that happens is supposed to be happening for some reason.

I know I am in the right place at the right time all the time. A friend of mine asked me a few days ago that if I could take back the really “low” times in my life…(really lowwww LOL) would I do that? I sad absolutely not. I am who I am because of EVERY experience that has taken place in my life and because of all of these experiences I am in a phenomenal place right now. I am in a place where I know who I am, what my purpose is, where I want to go, and have learned recently the MANY areas where I would like to improve.

Now a days I try to totally let my instinct guide me. If I am walking down the street towards the subway and I get a feeling to walk on the other side, I do it! I don’t question it. If something doesn’t “feel” right I stay away from it. I will never forget this time when I was leaving Creative Light Church in Soho a few years ago. I was having the best day and before I got on the train I put a dollar in my pocket. I usually do this especially when I have just gotten paid because I know there will be someone that will ask for it and I like to have it ready instead of having to dig through my bag. So anyways I have this dollar in my pocket and I had just left church and the sun was shining and I just felt really good. So I walk down the subway steps and there is this homeless man sitting and sleeping (in a slouch position) about 15 feet away from where I was standing. I knew the train would be coming soon and I kept repeating in my head over and over “I hope he wakes up so I can give him this dollar”. All of a sudden he popped up abruptly. I was even startled and I wasn’t even that close to him. He had on dark sunglasses and he motioned for me to come over to him. I walked over and stood by him and we started talking. He asked me about my day and I told him I had just came from church. Then he said, “You love little children! Your parents have a great relationship! Your bible is soft brown leather and the rim of the pages of your bible when it’s closed are gold! You are a good person and are going to be so successful that you can’t even fathom it!” So as he is speaking of course I am getting teary-eyed lol because everything he said is true. My parents have a GREAT relationship, I adoreeeeee children, and yes at that time the bible that I had was brown leather with gold rim pages. So then the train was coming so I gave him the dollar and hopped on the train and went home to journal about my day and that experience. The point of that story is that it was a reminder that there is just this connection between all of us that is so amazing.

Just Some Thoughts…
