This week’s charge seemed to have been around accepting those things I could not change. Life lesson 2468 on this journey of mine. Somehow I thought I had already taken this class but that was the beginner’s class. The class that everyone sails through but this advanced class had me having full fledged discussions with myself in the car. Yes it has been one of those weeks. I lost control of so many situations this week (not that I’m a control freak or anything) that I really began to wonder what was happening. I had to replace important documents that I had uncharacteristically misplaced. This in turn impeded my travel plans. In dealing with said misplaced documents I was unable to focus on other things and am even more behind than my usual place. I still feel a little lost but as I wrangled with all the things that slipped out of my hands as though my hands were lined with oil, I came to a place where I just had to stop. I mean I. Just. Had. To. Stop. I had to get still so the sediments could drift to the bottom and I could see. I sat for about 15 minutes or less and focused on just breathing and it was like a cloud lifted. I remembered that bigger eyes watch over me. I remembered that in the same way a toddler screams, wails and weeps when you take a sharp object from them that I am a child of God and sometimes He doesn’t think I need what I think I should have. I surrendered. I decided to accept my fate. I stopped beating up on myself for all the things I should have done. I breathed. At the end I emerged knowing that all would be well. To seal the message I added someone on BBM today whose pic was the prayer that hung in my room as a child:
God grant me the Serenity
To accept the things I cannot change
Courage to change the things I can
And Wisdom to know the difference
Off all these Serenity seemed to have been what I needed and received. Still working on Courage and Wisdom :). I rest assured that all will be well. You should too.

It’s amazing how much turmoil we cause in our lives just because we don’t stop to feel our feelings. It’s like we’ll do almost ANYTHING else but feel our feelings if those feelings are scary.
One reason why just reading books & going to seminars and reading TDL is not enough is because if all we…
For the ones we lost along the way

“Think back 20 years. On a random Saturday morning, you slip on your American made polo shirt, and made in the U.S.A. blue jeans, and while walking downtown you wonder if that new hot CD you want—the one that has been sold out forever—is finally available. Spotting a pay phone, you get the number for a record store you know is near by. Yes, they have a copy they will put aside for you, if you can get there within the hour. Not quite certain where the store is, you pull out a map and double check.” - Paul Brown” — Why Everyone Will Have To Become An Entrepreneur - http://www.forbes.com/sites/actiontrumpseverything/2012/05/13/why-everyone-will-have-to-become-an-entrepreneur/
