Knowing when the Universe is SCREAMING at you is not always the easiest thing to see, believe it or not. I found out the hard way that is exactly what was going on in my life. Little did I know I was about to embark on a journey that would bring me so far and fill my life with lots of joy and blessings.
Working From Home
I started my business for lots of reasons, and because I work from home I don’t really get out much. Don’t get me wrong, I love what I do , but I was doing it all from here. Sure, I would take the occasional trip to Ft. Meyers to visit my clients down there but that is about it. Since we moved 2 years ago I hadn’t really gotten out enough to make new friends. Let’s face it, whether you work from home or not there is still house work to do, meals to cook and stuff like that. Not much time for a social life.
Times have been a little stressful these past 6 months. Justin had to quite his job because the chemicals they used were tearing up his skin. We had no idea that it would take him a while to find what God wanted him to do. So, like everyone else I have not been excluded from hard times financially. But, I have been here before, so I just took it all in stride knowing that this stress would not last and that the next phase was coming.
With an article title like that, I bet you are wondering what lovey-dovey thing is going on now! Well…picture a daisy field and we are running towards each other and when we meet - instead of kissing I am giving him a good swift kick to the ass!
He knew the rules when he signed up for this relationship and he broke them!
To give you a better understanding, maybe I should start from the beginning…
My day started like any other. Run here do this…run there do that…oh wait, don’t forget to do that…better write that down on my daily list or else I will forget…run run run! I am constantly in a rush to get everyday normal stuff done. It dawned on me today – why am I stressing myself out to squeeze every last second of time to get crap done? When was the last time I slowed down and stayed present in the moment…I couldn’t recall a time.
I remember a couple of years ago, I running around my house in my usual way because I was having a dinner party the following night…and of course, everything had to be perfect.
I was running circles around my boyfriend at the time until he grabbed me by the shoulders and said, “Breathe Michele!” I stood still for a second, looked him in the eye and replied, “I am breathing now get out of my way because I have stuff to do!” Then I continued on – moving around like I was on fire.
What importance does family approval of your partner play in your relationship? If your parents and/or siblings are active members in your life, they could add a lot of stress to your relationship if they don’t like your partner.
I just came back from a 10 day family vacation where my boyfriend of one year met my parents, sister and my sister’s husband for the first time.
My family, including my boyfriend, had booked this cruise 8 months ago. My boyfriend was a bit nervous as he said, “We have only been dating 5 months and the cruise is 8 months away…time wise that is farther away than we have been dating. What if we break up before then?”
I smirked and giggled as I said, “Then just pretend to be happy until October and after the cruise we can break up!”
My brother-in-laws sister and husband joined us on the cruise as well. To make a long story short, my sister and her in-laws don’t get along very well. It causes a lot of stress in their marriage.
Namaste: "I honor the place in you in which the entire Universe dwells, I honor the place in you which is of Love, of Truth, of Light and of Peace, When you are in that place in you, and I am in that place in me, we are One."
