5/1/14 - Happy May Day!

Bentley and Nonni, 5/1/14

A side note (but relevant to the story)…  For those of you who might not be aware, I recently did a number on my ankle.  Not once, but twice.  The good news is, it’s not broken and nothing is torn.  It is a painful, not too pretty, degree 3 tendon strain, but it is healing nicely.

With this injury, I am afforded extra time to quiet my mind and connect with Spirit.  So many beautiful things are flowing from that.  Here is something I read today that resonated strongly with me:

"It's not your work to make anything happen.  It's your work to dream it and let it happen.  Law of Attraction will make it happen.  In your joy, you create something, and then you maintain your vibrational harmony with it, and the Universe must find a way to bring it about.  That's the promise of Law of Attraction."

-Abraham 

I sat with that for quite a while.  I pondered it in meditation from elevated consciousness.  For that moment in time, all my dreams came true and I was boundless and joy-FULL.  It was glorious.

From that, I decided to follow the spiritual nudges I have been greatly aware of the last few days, but haven’t had the courage to act on.  Actually, I am at a place in my life where I feel like, when I allow it, I am being pulled by Spirit rather than nudged.  Whether you call it pulled, nudged, fearful or faithful, I hobbled up to the park office this afternoon.

Yes, yes, I know… I’m not supposed to walk around like that for at least another week, but sometimes, a girl has to do, well, whatever.  ;)   It was a difficult journey, not so much because of my ankle, but because I needed to let them know I was only going to pay rent for one week and then would be moving (they’ve gone up on rates plus I have a few other active factors going on in my life).  It was a leap of faith because I was doing it in obedience to Spirit, without a clue as to where I would park Fiona once the week was up.  I don't know about you, but I don't always handle such unknowns really well, but hand-in-hand with Spirit, I am in complete Peace through this process.  Awe-mazing.  So, I walked in and made my announcement.

Their Response

They just stood there.  Blinking.  Then they looked at each other and the manager asked me, “If you help out in the office a couple of Saturdays this month, and get free rent for May, would that work for you?”

My Response

I just stood there.  Blinking.  Until I became aware that everyone was staring at me, waiting on a reply.  Then finally I found my voice, “Yeah, that’ll work.”

We all cracked up laughing.

Evidently they had just been talking about needing a camp host when I walked in.  They said I was as white as a sheet so I was ushered to a chair.  They got me some water, handed me a pen and a one-page application that had all of 4 blanks on it.  Just like that my needs for a domicile were met.  And the term is unlimited.  It is up to me.  Wow.

I AM SO BLESSED; SO GRATEFUL.

In addition to being the official May Day,  and the end of my personal May Day, it is May 1st and includes another 1st for me.  I don’t usually join online-promotional-forwarding-you've got to try this- type things, but I recently signed up for exactly one of those.   It is 100happydays.com.

I signed up for it because I want to concentrate only on the positive aspects of my life and the things that bring me joy.  I believe it is possible to be happy, joyous and free 365 days a year.  And, I believe this promotional campaign will help me focus on that.  I also agreed to use the required hash tag with each post because I believe if everyone did this, the world would completely change in 100 days.

So, my first Happy Days photo on the first of May, the official May Day, is an unlikely candidate... a pic of my new Saturday work shirt that ended my May Day for a place to park Fiona.  Thank you Abraham.  Thank you Universe.  Thank you God.

So far, I’m diggin’ this living in the unknown, being open to expansion, staying grateful and joy-FULL, while dreaming and letting it happen.

Happy May Day!
