Ignore Nothing!

Dear Reader,

I get so carried away in this life I love, that I sometimes forget that others might find some value in hearing about my experiences.  They are, after all, for me, just as your life is all about you.  However, I am finding such joy in some of these that I am simply bursting to share them!

Yesterday, for example, I had something happen that made me realize just how finely tuned our guidance can be.  I was putting some clean dishes away and as I was setting some mugs on a shelf of my baker's rack, I had the thought float through my mind that I should simply change the order of placement of two of the mugs I had just set down .... you know, just swap their places on the shelf.  I pushed that thought aside, thinking that I was just being finicky, or petty, or something.

An hour later, as I took a drinking glass from a shelf above the mugs, I didn't lift it high enough and the glass in my hand hit another glass, knocking it off the shelf.  On its journey to the floor, it hit a mug and broke off its handle.  It just so happens that it was one of the two mugs I had had the guidance to switch around earlier, and, sadly, it was my favorite mug (while the other mug was one I had recently been considering giving away).

Now, I will admit there was a bit of a feeling of loss within me as I knelt to pick up the broken pieces, but when I did a quick inventory of my emotions, I realized that I was quite at peace about the whole thing.  And as I surveyed the entire scenario and my emotions a bit more, I realized that I was in a deep state of gratitude inside.  I mean, if I would have stopped looking within when I encountered the sadness over the loss I never would have discovered the inner part of me that was in such gratitude!

This is the type of thing I encounter with clients all the time ... realizing the things that lie beneath, what I call the face-behind-the-face and the voice-behind-the-voice that reveal the difference between what the conscious self is aware of and experiencing, and what the soul is aware of and experiencing.  As we focus more and more on getting in alignment (the phrase so often used when referencing the Law of Attraction principles), this type of reality can be ours all the time:  living closely with the warmth and presence of our soul, which is at peace with all things ... even the loss of a favorite item ... because it knows all things bless our journey.

I think I shall be on the lookout for my next favorite mug ...
I'm sure it is just around the next corner ....
Wait for it ... savor it ... ahhhhhhh ...

EnJOYing the JOurneY!
