Day 43 of 49: Celebrating Synchronicities

Surrendering to Life’s unfolding…

07.07

It felt strange to think of this as the last Monday of this 7-week commitment. Every day of this final week will be its own farewell.

When I arrived to fetch my boys this morning for their morning school ride, I glanced at my mobile phone for the time, and it was 07.07.

Ahhh, I could feel the Universe’s warm and gentle embrace.

Crowdfunding idea.

In between today’s work responsibilities and other things that needed to get done, I did allocate time to putting together the appeal for assistance to get going with Marie Forleo’s B-School program.

I was most certainly influenced by the Tony Gaskin’s quote I posted yesterday,

‘Trust the process. Your time is coming. Just do the work and the results will handle themselves.’

In compiling my communication, which I have since posted on Facebook, and uploaded to be sent out via email too, I found myself completely surrendering to the process, with a sense of peace that whatever is meant to be, whatever is for my highest good, will flow.

This may mean that I get a flood of responses that enable me to enrol in B-School this year, or it may mean the exact opposite too.

And I would be ok either way.

What a small world.

My personal network of friends and family are aware I’m looking for work, be it freelancing or joining a team, where there is an alignment of beliefs, and where I can add value and serve the mission of business for good.

A cousin gave me a head’s up about a marketing and communications position available at a company whose founder’s heart beats to the same values drum as mine.

As I was prepping my introductory email to him, I noticed as I started typing in his email address, it was self-populating.

Hmmm — I wondered when and in what context I’d communicated with him previously.

I did a Gmail search and discovered that this February, seven* years ago (*you got that right…SEVEN, ‘7’) I sent his company an email admiring the creativity of their website. My comment to the general email address had been escalated and I received a direct response of appreciation from the owner, the man I was about to email again now.

Stay present to the Journey.

I have always loved the movies Bruce Mighty and Evan Almighty for the messages of seeing G-d in the world, in the moments of our days, in our interactions and in the people around us.

Today I needed to pop into one of the Telkom stores to address a DATA challenge. Their electronic payment system was down, so I needed to head to one of the ATM’s to draw cash to pay them.

When I arrived at the ATM there was someone ahead of me. A lady came to join the queue. I smiled at her and asked her how her day had been.

In our brief encounter, she shared words that were a welcome reminder. She said, ‘Everyday when I wake up, I say, ‘Please guide me’ and then I step into my day, and somehow through the humps and bumps and curveballs, things seem to all work out. I find that I manage to get through my day ok.’

I’d actually come to the Telkom store the previous day, but got the times wrong and they were already closed. Then today I returned, and had the pay point been working, or had I not been willing to engage a stranger in a queue at the ATM, I would most likely not have had this gem of an interaction.

I was grateful for this reminder and experience of showing up to the moments and surrendering control of the details.

Thank you, Day 43!
