Stuff happens!
Sometimes we aren't happy about that. Sometimes we get happy little surprises from the universe.
I'm going to throw myself up out here as an example for you all. Guess what? The business that I have been sharing space in, it's closing down! The owner is young and with the current recession the money is too tight for comfort for her, and what I'm bringing in and our yoga instructor and artists, we're just scraping by, so our owner wants to quit while she's ahead and not end up with a failed business to her credentials.
None of us there are happy about this, but you know what? We will all be o.k.. There are many other healing places in this city, and some of us have even worked from home before, like me, and could do it again to a certain extent, and there are spaces in churches that we know of that would allow us to have workshops and support groups etc.
So, yea, we could get ticked off at her and say, "hey, what about the rest of us?! You promised us a permanent place here, we cut ties to other places, and now you do this because you're scared that we may not make it, so you're closing us down?!" We could do that. BUT none of us did. Ultimately, as the owner, it was her decision. I gave her the counsel that she asked for, and even though it wasn't in my best interests, it's in hers. She's been too stressed and is wearing herself thin with worry and work and she's getting sick. To keep her word to us and hurt herself, that's not in her best interests or ours if she becomes too sick to be functional!
So, we're just gonna have to ride the flow. If we fight the flow, we could drown. It's like the whole if life gives you lemons... thing.
Things happen to us that inconvenience us, endanger our lifestyle, confuse us and force us to re-examine and change. We might not like it, but oh, well. If we trust that the higher power knows what IT's doing, then we can ride the flow of our lives with a trust that we can always pick up our paddle and pick a different way if we are carried down a tributary that leads to a dead end.
Remember, it's not the destination in life that matters, it's the journey.
I for one am optimistically curious about what my journey's next leg will be.
Until next blog!
Love, Angelia
