The universe works best for you when in the present! Stay with me here (No I have not been drinking ?).
This Month has been a long Month! As the restrictions lift & the events are allowed to be planned in again the work load has increased which is exciting but I am tired! Like most I would love my toes in the sand, watching the sunset alone with my thoughts away from the hustle of the city.. just for a few days!
So the next best thing. A couple of Weeks ago I booked a night in an apartment overlooking what appeared to be lovely canal with a quiet little bar, still in the city so i would be there for an early start this morning, but at least I got a different view and a cold glass in my hand! However for the last 2 days I had struggled to shake stomach cramps & really did not feel like going anywhere (So i was frustrated as I am never ill), Still i told myself the night away would do me good. So shutting down the laptop, bag packed, off I went.
Happy to be there I checked in. Lets just say that feeling lasted all of 10 minutes. Large 3 bed apartment with a balcony but unkept! No bar but a building site, with a canal that came complete with shopping trolley views and rubbish. Totally mis sold, I politely checked out & i travelled home still tired & now feeling deflated.
Sat in my garden in the sunshine, the laptop came back out I was planning the next phase of the wall of inspiration. Then I received a message from Scott. You remember the amazing artist (now I call a friend) Scott who did our Winter window then the Wall of Inspiration? It was a screenshot of the amazing Chris Gardner sharing our wall on all of social media platforms!!
I was blown away by his kindness. I rang Scott straight away, my inspiration and Scott’s dream to be showcased in the USA was there showing his amazing talent in our office. This is the guy who is capable of turning me into a complete blubbering wreck when I watch his movie ‘Pursuit of happyness’ & the guy who is now smiling at me and our family every single day in the hub on our wall with amazingly talented Daniel Craig & James Arthur, giving us all our daily inspiration. You can imagine the happiness on that call.
I wanted to share this with you as a reminder that even on the days when we are disappointed if we live & stay in the present the Universe does work for You!
Right now (6:30pm after an early start), I am back in the garden, with the same laptop only now telling you guys with a sense happiness! No longer deflated, nor feeling tired. Only now googling the ‘pursuit of happiness definition’ , ending up with a 1000 more questions that I already had ? Right Universe can you work with me on answering the 1000 questions over the course of this evening please? Maybe Chris will call ?.
