So, what do you do when the Universe sends you a completely unexpected opportunity? Do you say no, because that wasn't part of the plan? - or - Do you shift your focus, and go with it?
I am asking myself what is more important? Living love, loving and being loved in return, or continuing to live my small little life. Don't get me wrong, my life has been unfolding. In fact, I needed a car and my neighbor practically gave me one. And it's in excellent condition. Last weekend, my younger son and I went on an adventure, driving a cat to Oregon. Something for which I was handsomely paid. With a rental car included.
Since I was laid off last June, I have been practicing. I had to put down my own resistance to and fear of life and constantly surrender and trust that I am being held by The Divine. If I stop feeling that way, then I am the one who has disconnected. I had to let the old traumas unwind and leave my nervous system. That took months.
Now I find that in order to both feel good and hear myself and my inner knowing, I must rest. I need plenty of down time. Something our culture takes for granted. You end up more productive when you care for yourself and the needs of body, mind and spirit. In fact, to be a beautiful, radiant woman, you must rest. This is from where that glow originates and there are no substitutes.
So, I feel as though I am beginning to know the answer for myself. Although my ego definitely feels a little squirmy. Too funny.
Be well.
