Just a Moment

I wonder sometimes what it would be like if I could go back and veer in a different direction. A friend of mine told me that it’s a good idea to move around a lot in your career to experience different workplaces so you can truly recognize your worth and ability. I’m on career-place number two and the first lasted nearly 19 years. The ease in which I embraced my new surroundings is a bit of an amazement to me and proves my friend’s theory. The way I feel in this new role is miles ahead of where I was before and it’s just the beginning.

A dear friend and co-worker of mine is moving on for a year. She will place herself in a new world on Monday morning and our office will be far less inspired. Tonight we laughed and laughed to a comedic jamboree. It seemed a fitting send off—for laughter is the pillar of our relationship. We laugh at things that are funny, we laugh at the unexpected, and quite often the expected. We laugh until we cry and cry until we laugh. There’s a deep connection between our souls and it was evident on our first encounter. I’ll never forget the day I met Schmetta. But just suppose I hadn’t, what a huge piece of life I would have missed.

May your soul guide you to new heights and your wisdom continue to inspire the souls around you. With all my love. 

My life is a wonderful mix of everything. I devour the energy I receive from laughing with my friends. I love the excitement of new people and new projects. I’m filled with joy when my children smile. Watching my dog play renews my spirit. Being on or near the water is peaceful beyond my wildest dreams. The sunshine brings energy. The rain brings fertility. I’m full of life and life is full. I dream big. I expect the best outcome. I accept the possibilities. I see no limitations. Daily strife brings opportunity to grow. Being tired reminds me to sleep. May I sleep well tonight and tomorrow fully appreciate the mix.

Yesterday and today I used and heard the word contingency at least a dozen times. A contingency is a possibility that must be prepared for in case certain events take place. What about the law of attraction? Are we setting the stage to miss our original goal by giving energy to contingencies or are we simply giving ourselves breathing space to create the best result? 

Often the contingency actually turns out to be the better plan, but don’t be fooled by contingencies that force you off your path…that’s just the ego keeping your dreams at bay.

When I’m really, really happy, I tend to keep my wits about me and subdue my joy — I fear that life is waiting with a left hook. I’ve now removed that fear. I sincerely believe we are here to experience joy and abundance at no cost to us. Joy is not borrowed on credit. There is no bill, with interest, at the end of the month. Feel life and experience your true worth. We all deserve to be happy. Full strength happy, not watered down.
