10.8/10.9
Sitting here alone before bed. Pondering life and its continuous cycle that has brought me to this very place. In the here, in the now. It’s crazy the synchronicity of the events happening around me, within these past couple of weeks and within my life time, really. First off, it has been rocky. I’ve had job shifts and obvious doors either closing or swinging back and fourth. They say if one door closes, another one opens and I seek opportunity in each day as the sun rises. I’m an Aries sun, Sagittarius moon, and Leo ascending meaning I am all fire. This is so hard for me but I’m learning to really keep myself grounded because having the element of fire play such a dominant role in my life, it’s easy for me to make the quick, rash dart away from the instability. But I’m here, waiting it all out, seeking the opportunity in options that I’m blessed with. By keeping my hope and by holding my head high with faith, I’ve been able to fully appreciate the troubled times by not viewing them as troubled times at all. Instead, I now have more time for me in the midst of all the chaos. Something happened to me the other day and usually this sort of stuff happens to Jackson, my love, whom I view to be very special in his own kind of way. I tuned in to my favorite advocate of inspiration (Rachel Brathen @yoga_girl)’s live stream the other day and managed to win myself a signed copy of her book! How awesome! Me, out of 700+ people who tuned in, won! But, since I attended her Happiness Tour in Atlanta around the end of April, I was able to get my very own copy personally signed by her and her husband Dennis so this winning copy goes to my best friend Nandi who was present with me at the Happiness Tour but was not able to receive a copy of the book. I guess my “paying it forward” intention led me to win. AND not only that!! Of course, there is more! When emailing Rachel about receiving the copy she asked me for my number so that she could call me sometime this weekend. Like WHAT!? What in the world does Rachel Brathen want to talk to ME about!? What would I ask her? Is there opportunity behind all of this!? I mean certainly there has to be. A woman who gives herself to this world so vulnerably wants to personally reach out to me. Even if it’s for a simple ‘thank you Rhena’. Ah, life. You intrigue me, you baffle me , you startle me, you amaze me. This is awesome. When I get my website up and running, I’ll have to share with you guys how moving and life changing my experience was with Rachel as she led class during the Happiness Tour. I know I’m not the only one she has touched and moved on a soul/spirit level. My life has forever been changed and I owe that spark to her. Which is why any of this is a BIG DEAL to me. It’s life. And it’s exactly where I’m meant to be.
