No Expectations, No Disappointments

I can't take credit for that one. The title/quote above is accredited to my Bestie #1, Theresa.  Anyway, I can only account for my actions as such. Of course, it is easier said than done, I've incorporated it into my life and so far, so good. My perception has shifted...dramatically.   I view everything from the minute to the grandest of details as a blessing.  You see,  my "auto-programming" (my way of thinking) expected things; but then I thought "hmmm, so that's why I was assuming this whole time."  That's when it dawned on me that expect & assume were a match made in heaven, they went together.  Not good, since I know that when one "assumes," it is also a maniacal acronym for making an "ass out of u and me." LOL!!!! Yes I was a walking contradiction and I'll be the first to own up to it. Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks?! This old dog is open to change and you can be too if you truly want to.

Perfect example, for the month of July, I started to panic because I was not going to have additional income. My contract was not starting again till August when my last contract was completed back in June.  So, I did what I could: kept in touch with everyone in my professional & personal network; continued to write; and released any lower/negative energies to God and asked that He give me the strength to focus that energy into any kind of change. The first thought popped into my head: "Stop worrying." I literally laughed out loud and said to myself "are you shitting me?" Then, I blinked and expected lightning to strike me down, luckily, it didn't. I literally stopped and sat alone in silence for what seemed to be 45 minutes to an hour.  Then, I had an epiphany--that was what else was missing in my life--besides praying, I was being compelled to sit in silence and listen to that inner voice, whom I believe is the voice of God. This voice reassured me that I've done all I can; to let Him "take it from here and trust, completely trust, that all things are not as they appear, that I'm where I am supposed to be." So I followed my heart (God's inner voice)...know where it has led me?  Well…

BECAUSE I DIDN'T EXPECT ANYTHING…Here's the result :  I was only off for a week in July, when I was asked to contract beginning the 2nd week of July and will officially end on 8/9/12.  That's perfect because my next contract is on 8/17/12.  A little down time in between is good!  Next, I've purchased my airfare for my annual trip to see my parents which I didn't expect to buy until October 2012. I've got a round-trip airfare to Miami for a girlfriend's bachelorette weekend compliments of my son as an early birthday gift. Note: the Miami trip, I'd already shot down a few times previously because I couldn't afford to go.  But, hey now that I have the ticket—I CAN'T COMPLAIN!  Look, bottom line is I did the best I could for my part, I let go and let God do His part…Practice makes perfect, simple as that. 

When things are meant to be, they just are.  Till next week, I bid you all Love, Light& Compassion, My Loves.
