When I graduated from college, I was offered my dream job working in Rome. Ten days before I was about to fly out, the job cancelled. I was devastated, but something told me to go anyway. So, I packed up with the small amount of money my parents gave me for a graduation present and began an adventure that would take me in a totally different direction.
Because I trusted my guidance, I wound up working in films, meeting incredible people many of who are still in my life today, and eventually moving to London.
Although I do believe in setting clear goals, I have learned that when I limit the way I am able to receive I just may miss out on the gifts the Universe is sending me.
The man whispered, God, speak to me, and a meadowlark sang.
But the man did not hear.
The man looked around, hearing nothing so the man yelled, “God, speak to me! And the thunder rolled across the sky.
But the man did not listen.
The man looked around and said, God let me see you”
And a star shined brightly.
But the man did not notice.
And the man shouted,
“God show me a miracle!” and a life was born.
But the man did not know. So, the man cried out in despair, touch me, God and let me know you are here!”
Whereupon, God reached down and touched the man, but the man brushed the butterfly away and walked -on.

Don't miss out on a blessing because it isn't packaged the way that you expect.
Until next time,
