Is it coincidence or luck?

I have been caught up in a whirlwind of activity that leaves little time for Twitter or Blogging. I’ve been so focused on arranging the details of moving my household and our family business this month and next that I haven’t written down any inspirations I’ve experienced. Last week I secured a new place to live, signed the lease, and started registering my older son in middle school.  The new school promises to be a much, much better experience for him. Our new place of business will have parking for our mini-fleet of trucks and a very large office space all in one location. Our current office is separated from our parking yard by a quarter mile. Things should be better all around.

If I get too swept up in controlling all the details of a major life transition such as this and things don’t turn out as I want them to, I could become susceptible to depression and anger. Indeed, I’ve had my irritable days. Transitions are where my relationship to God and the Universe really gets highlighted.  During times of change, it’s my job to take appropriate action to get where I need to be. It’s not my job to try to force a situation to become exactly as I wish.  Tricky, huh? The details worked out for me not because I orchestrated the entire apartment hunt, but because I gave the details to God to work out. I was the one hitting the road and visiting about 10 different places to live, weighing pros and cons of each. When I felt overwhelmed and nervous, I went home and listened to Holosync and regained composure after an hour. When I didn’t know what to do, I handed the problem to God. This is a technique to release my worry, because worrying does me no good. Trusting in God or the Universe is difficult but it’s the only thing I can do that helps me sail through life calmly.

So it all worked out. I was accepted to the first apartment I applied for, they lowered the price of the unit during my “thinking” time and they made the move in special even less expensive, the unit itself overlooks a public park and tennis courts, I have a pool for the kids on site and best of all I finally have my master bathroom attached to the master bedroom. I think I’ve been wishing for one of those for over a decade.  In regards to the business, my husband was the one to find a new unit that he was wishing he could have for about six months but it was occupied. The landlord promised to call us when the tenants moved out. As it happened, they moved out the very month our current business landlord wanted to give us a month’s notice to leave because another business wanted to take over the entire building where our office space was housed. The entire transition happened smoothly, without incident, though we’re still in the middle of it. Details like these can’t be forced! God takes care of it for us. Call it synchronicity, grace, coincidence, or luck if you like. I’m thanking God.

    Hi’ Jessica! I’ve follow some ‘bread crumbs’ you left for me in Twitter. You’ve got a nice blog here! Congrats for your recent move. I’m glad to learned that all worked out just fine. I can see that we both speak the ‘same language’ (and I don’t mean English (or Spanish in case you can also speak it). I guess to find what I’m talking about…you might have to learn about me a bit more eventually. I can see you’ve also got an ‘interesting path’…Are you in Facebook? I’d love to connect with you there too. Enjoy a great evening! Regards, Adrian

      Thank you Adrian. Si, yo puedo hablar espanol bastante, pero no como perfecto. I took a look at your underwater meditation web site and I’m impressed. I didn’t see any headphones on the divers in your movie, and I wonder if you’re having them listen to Holosync while under water. Yes, I’ve led quite an “interesting” path in life and I’m still navigating it!

    Hi’ Jessica! Sorry for the delay to get back to you. Thank you very much for your reply. I like your blog very much, you do write about a true life on purpose ; )
    No, no yet. I’ve had thought in incorporating Holosync underwater but that would be a whole different ‘animal’ to get in any case in the ‘Advance Level’ for certified divers only. I’m at the beginning stages and I want to make this available to everybody first without any restriction and then see who wants to go even beyond that and in that case considering if incorporating underwater audio. Don’t know if you are in FB too, but if you are I’d love to have you there too. Disfruta tu dia mujer! Cariños, Adrian
