This Too Will Pass and Ordering a Cup Of Cosmic Coffee

How many times have we heard that – this too will pass?  A boss from years ago used to say that  all the time and when he did, I wanted to shake him. Of course he was right.

No matter what the crisis (big or small) it passes – how long is another story !

I have been saying that a lot recently. It’s my comfort when things look down.

However it’s not only the ‘not good’ stuff that will soon pass but also the good stuff !

This made me stop and think. Yes we all have good experiences but they are going to move away.

I don’t want to depress any of you but I take this as a reminder for us all to be grateful for this moment now because it’s passing.

LIVE IN THE NOW – NOW!

Before you throw your hands up in despair and wonder what’s the point, STOP.  It doesn’t mean ‘bad’ things are on their way but better is on its way.

That leads me nicely onto my cosmic cup of coffee.

Last week I was berating heaven for not sending me what I want. I had asked nicely but was wondering WHERE IS IT?

Once the hissy fit was done, a lovely message came into my consciousness and this is it.

When you order coffee in a cafe, do you march over to the barista and tell them how to make the coffee and supervise it until it arrives? Do you tap your fingers impatiently if it’s not with you in 30 seconds?

Well it’s the same when you pray. You ask nicely and then relax KNOWING that it’s on its way and no further action is required – no telling HOW and WHAT HAS TO BE DONE.

Well that shut me up !

That which I have asked for is on its way and when it does arrive there may even be an extra shot – the universe normally gives us more than we asked for as long as we don’t limit ourselves.

With that final piece of cosmic advice, I am off for a walk with my dog.

Order your cosmic coffee now.

Jumping Off The Cliff

For many years I was a teacher and in August 2014 I left my job. I had no job to go to but what I did have was a burning desire to GET OUT !!!!!

The reasons for my leaving I will not go into – I don’t want to make this a whingey tirade of blame. Suffice to say I left !

When I broke the news to my former colleagues, I was amazed at their reaction – total disbelief. In fact some of them stared at me as if I had just admitted to a major crime.  I could almost hear their brains processing my words and then ping the penny dropped. The inferred reaction could be summarised as disbelief mingled with an envy.

So here I am. I have been through every emotion from pacing the floor wringing my hands as I scold myself ‘what the hell have you done?’ ‘How can you pay the mortgage, pay the bills? You have no job to go to and on and on and on. In my down moments I have seen me being evicted from my house and oh the shame the shame !!!  I soon got over that and reminded myself that this is not a movie or a novel, it’s my life and I am making sure this isn’t going to happen EVER.

One month later I am now calmer – ok last Sunday there was a massive boohoo session and more of the ‘what the hell is wrong with you ? Have you lost your mind?? ‘

How am I now?

Well there are possible jobs on the horizon – none associated with teaching. But it is the sense of freedom and fun. I am looking at jobs and thinking how fun it would be to do a whole new job and not have to worry about marking assignments, work schemes etc.

I can literally do anything except drive a forklift or a heavy goods vehicle – yet !!! – brain surgery or dance professionally.  But I am having so much fun looking at all the jobs out there.

Why am I feeling like this? Well it’s because I am tapping into the whole concept of infinite possibility. I got that from Deepak Chopra. The possibilities fro me are endless.

This is what freedom tastes like, feels like, is !

I am also aware of the fact that I am happy to do whatever job comes along and I KNOW that the jobs are on their way. Its all going on ‘behind the scenes’.

The universe is conspiring to make this life wonderful for me. I do believe that.

I have set the intention and asked for divine help and I am now getting out of the way.

By the way I am now in my right mind – confident and assured that whatever turns up for me is for my higher good.
