This week I had a quite a few cancellations/changes in
appointments. Usually I'm pretty chill about it and know that it allows me to
do things I was putting off, so I adjust pretty quickly. It was not the case on
Thursday June 20th.
It was 8:30A and I had a cancel for 9:30A which was an
1.5 hr appointment. I decide to take a walk with Cosmo and feel the pulse of
the day, asking God to guide me to the right people, places, and answers.
As I was walking, I rationed I should flyer the new
neighborhood I am now in with So You Boutique. I thought about getting a
homeless person to do it because I pass several everyday going into work...
maybe tomorrow if I saw one with a creative sign...I need one that is decent
though...hmm.
I put out the intention to the Universe that I find one
in which I can help and vice versa. I stopped into a coffee shop to grab a chai
tea and relax into it. As I turned the
corner, with tea in hand one hand and Cosmo in the other, there was a homeless
guy reading under a tree in front of the Montisori school.
I took a deep breathe and laughed thinking how the
Universe always delivers. Casually I walk by him and made small talk. In a few
minutes I knew it was safe because I can see the clarity and spark in his eyes.
I asked him if he wanted to make $40 because I had 500 flyers at the studio. He
accepted the offer. As we walked back to the studio I learned Travis was 31 and
had been homeless for a year, a series of bad luck just hit him. At the studio
I gave him the box of flyers, a cup of kefir to drink, a bottled water for the
road, and $20. The other $20 would be given when he completed the job.
Before Travis left, I asked him if he believed in magic
and miracles. He said he believed in miracles
but not magic. I said they are really the same, it's just a matter of thought.
Just like LUCK. I told Travis his luck
is changing and today is his lucky day. Luck is what you make of it, when
opportunity meets preparation.
An hour later, I get a call from a lady inquiring about eyelash
extensions because she got a postcard on her car. She booked the appointment
for next week. It's a $250 service. I
got another call from the Better Business Bureau because their office is 2
streets down from me. The lady wants me to join the bureau of course, but she
also wanted an airbrush tan, appointment set for Monday.
I encourage you to let go of expectations, judgments, and
control today. Surrender if things don't go your way and look to see what you
can do. Ask what this is allowing you to experience and chose how you want to be.
Relax into the intensity. Be the inspiration, and more magic and miracles will
appear in your life.
As for Travis, that is to be continued...the empty
box of flyers was at my door at 2P when I returned from lunch. I still
owe him $20. I'm sure you'll read about him in a future writing...
Do You Believe in Magic and Miracles? I love MAGIC.
