Only 9 days left until my big move to NYC!!! This morning,
I woke up later than planned—I overslept! “Oh no,” I thought. I jumped out of
bed and realized that it was after 10:40AM, and there was no way I was going to
make it to Center for Spiritual Living—a place I enjoy attending weekly inspirational
gatherings. So I quickly began thinking about what to do. “Aha! I’ll catch the
livestream on the internet,” I said to myself. I bounced up the stairs to make
myself a fresh cup o’ joe so I could snuggle up and catch the service online.
As soon as it went live, I rejoiced inside!.....But then, the internet
connection started slowing to the point where I couldn’t even make out what was
being said. By this time I was getting frustrated…what to do, what to do? Then
I realized that chasing after this ‘fantasy’ (it clearly wasn’t happening,
okay?) was distracting me from experiencing the joy that comes fresh with each
morning. So I laughed at myself, and things got better!
The lesson I learned today was to be present. Embrace the
present moment and give thanks for it. I was so focused on what I ‘missed out
on’ that I almost missed out on my joy! I slept in (not overslept) because I was
tired, and my body apparently required the extra rest. I gave myself permission
to stay home and embrace the moment.
After journaling, I was online and happened to come
across some very empowering information that is crucial to my success in the
dream I’m pursuing. I realized that had I not been home at that time, I wouldn’t
have gotten these powerful teachings. I was grateful for that time to nurture
my body, soul, and intellect. It was then that I knew, I stayed home on
purpose!
So, that’s why I’m glad that I ‘overslept.’ The next time you oversleep or miss some appointment that you were really looking forward to, consider what else is happening in your space. Sometimes we think that our plans are what’s best for us, but the universe shifts things around to teach us a lesson—to bless us on our journey. So, don’t beat yourself up if this happens to you. Be present and give thanks for the moment because you may be in for a reward!
Love & Light,
Rainfaerie
