Snow Can Teach You Some Things!

The only thing people have talked about non-stop for over a week is the snow storm that was coming on Saturday night.  Yes.  This act of nature was coming on a specific day and time of day.

Thursday, I did notice when I went to the store, that the shelves were kind of empty.

The thought occurred to me to buy ice melt.  It occurred to me, and I kept it moving, getting other stuff I came for.  I remembered that I forgot about the ice melt when I was putting what I bought into the trunk.  I told myself I would get it another time.

The thought had come to me a few times before, and after this.

I DID NOT BUY THE ICE MELT.  THE SNOW STORM CAME!

I was not prepared.

I did it to myself.

Ice melt and a real snow shovel were all I needed to be prepared.

Why wasn’t I prepared?

It seems like such a simple thing.

I did not listen to my Self.

It was a simple thing that turned into snow teaching me some things.

The ice melt might not have really made any difference.

By the time it was no longer really snowing, I went into my garage to see how easily I could get out of my drive way tomorrow.  My car was in the garage.  I didn’t even really look at the snow on the driveway.  I had been looking at the snow all day.

I got into my car, put her in drive, and inched forward slowly.  Whirr went my front times spinning in the almost close to foot high snow.   I could not drive out of my garage.  Somebody was going to have to shovel.

I got my boots, bundled up, put my gloves on then grabbed my shovel meant for digging, not shoveling snow.

My thought was that I could shovel and follow two tracks down the drive way to the street.  I made some good headway on the first tire track.  Then I looked and saw the car would not be able to clear the snow in between the tires.

I couldn’t stop.  I had a lot of snow to move that was not soft and fluffy.  It was ice.  I heard the ice hitting my house before I got out of bed this morning.  I watched the ice falling all day.

I kept shoveling.

A woman with a real snow shovel standing just beyond what I had cleared asked me if she could help me.

In my mind  I was like “what the what?”

I said, “Yes, please.  Thank you.  Help yourself.”

Always Blessed.  I appreciate every Blessing.  All the time.

It was a neighbor across from me I met last summer.

We cleared the driveway and I could not be happier.

The important thing about this whole story to me is realizing how simple it was for me to ignore the quiet voice of my inner guidance.

This is so important I am repeating it.  It was simple for me to ignore the quiet voice of my inner being.

You might be saying it was only ice melt.

It was an opportunity for me to see thoughts turning into things.  Receive the thought, do the action and see what manifests.

I ignored the voice of wisdom coming from my soul because the stuff I was doing was more important.

Not!

I still don’t have what I need.  But I could have been prepared if I had taken the time to listen to, and follow, the voice inside that is always guiding and directing our paths.  In all things.  Big and small.

I learned that I can be a better listener to the voice inside of me.

I witnessed my neighbor’s generosity of her time and effort.

We are Blessed even when we are not listening.  It was a simple thought.  Ice melt.  Every thought counts.

Step One:  Thought comes first.  Step Two:  Do the thing.  Step Three:  Manifestation.

Or, don’t do the thing.

We always have a choice.

I trust my inner guidance enough to be a better listener.

I did listen to the thought that I had some shoveling to do.  I got to shoveling.  Help arrived.  Driveway cleared.  Manifestation.  Thoughts turned into things.

One thought after the other.

I am thankful.

Did I say snow can teach you some things!

How good a listener are you?

TO MY SPAMMERS!

It is with genuine love that I write this Love Letter to YOU!

All of YOU!

I just want to let you know your free ride on my back has ended.

Your weight on my shoulders have been a heavy burden to bear.

I no longer care to put up with your insolence, persistence and determination to have your way in my space.

It was never welcomed as your intent was to be the thorn in my side for the long haul.

You were never welcomed, and with gladness, I bid you farewell.

I do not wish you on anyone, but you will find someplace else to make your presence known.

It will not be here!

You will never be approved and admitted into this space.

Pack your bag and move along!

If only you were worthy.

You are not!

You had your way and your fun.

I hope it was good for you.

But to the end of this road you have come and it fills my heart with joy.

Fare thee well and GOODBYE!

Love Letter To Those That Matter!

You will not be missed.

  • Never be deterred from your intention
  • Which is to say, never give up
  • Hold fast to the dream
  • Be persistent

  • Keep trying
  • Know you will always prevail
  • Keep doing the work
  • Thank you for the lessons you came here to teach me.

    Now, message to those who do belong in this space, to those who are here to be lifted up, empowered, loved on, encouraged, inspired and to be reminded of who and how powerful you are – YOU DO BELONG IN THIS SPACE!
