This past Friday night I was standing on the beach under a half full moon and was inspired to make a wish to the universe. I began by saying hi to my mom, who passed over 9 years ago. Every time I see the stars or the beauty in nature I think of her and say hello. I've never been to her grave, and saying "hi" when I think of her is how I honor her instead. Then the prayer began...
Dear god.... God??? Who am I praying to? I'm not religious! Start over. Dear universe (that felt better). Thank you for allowing me to provide for my son, for helping me to raise a healthy, compassionate little boy that Iove more than I ever thought possible. I am grateful that I have a job and that I'm on this new and exciting adventure with animal communicating. Phew. That part wasn't so tough!!
Now my wish. I wish for someone to share this journey with me. WAIT!!! Did I just ask for someone to date?? I don't want that! Do I? No, I don't think so. I like my life right now. Start over. I want a good circle of friends to be with in my life. That's ok. Crap, did I really ask for someone to date??? What if I get it??? OH NO! Breathe. Open eyes. Regroup. Start over- again. Dear universe, I am grateful for all I have and all I am able to do. I want to be successful with my business and helping people connect better with their animals and themselves. Shoot, how do I define success? Now what do I ask? Oh my god, what if I get everything I'm asking for?! The pressure!!! Did the water just touch my toes? How long have I been standing here with my eyes closed? Start over....
I finally got my "prayer" out and my friend and I got a good laugh over how I struggled with it the entire time. Today I got up and went on a hike to clear my mind and reconnect with nature. Then it came to me. All I had to say was "I am grateful for all I have and I am open and thankful for all that is right and good for me now." DUH!!! The universe acts with perfection, and I really don't have to worry about the details. It doesn't mean I'm going to sit on my couch and wait for things to happen to and for me, but I trust that I am on the right path and that things are going the way they are supposed to.
