Are You Blind?

That question wasn't intentionally directed at you. It was mainly meant for me. Yesterday It dawned on me, with Universal assistance, that many of the things I have been asking for have already been given. I was just too blind to see them, because they did not look exactly as I had imagined them in my limited human mind.

It is a little like planting a package of flower seeds that are supposed to be red and when they come up in the spring they are bright yellow. You have two choices. Either appreciate the beautiful blossoms or pull them up by the roots because they don't look exactly like what you expected.

A couple of years ago, 4/6/09, to be exact I completed a short exercise from a self-esteem website. The instructions were to put it away for at least 6 months. I found it in my desk yesterday when I moved a container.
There were only four questions:
Something I believe is impossible is:
What would I have to believe to make this impossible?
What can I choose to believe instead to make it possible?
My statement about what is now possible: I intend to create...

Now then, the subject I was dealing with at the time was attracting a man who honestly cares about me and is on a similar journey. Time to wake up now! That man did come into my life about a year ago, but because the details I had in mind didn't match I didn't see who he was.

I wanted this man to literally be in my life. Living next door would be good. He doesn't even live in the same state for crying out loud! It is nearing another year since I put the form away and now I finally see. If I never ever meet this man in person he could not be any closer. We have a heart to heart connection that nobody else can touch and it will never die. He may not communicate as much as I imagined he would, but when he does he knows exactly what to say to touch my heart.

This realization caused me to wonder what other gifts I have received in a slightly different package than I expected. For one, I wanted to be a motivational speaker. I don't have a traditional stage, but I do have a stage to express my thoughts. I wanted a spiritual companion. The Universe went overboard here. I have attracted a number of spiritual companions as friends on Facebook. I wanted a building to teach people to use their minds and imaginations to write. My soon to be, creative writing group for kids at our family center, takes care of that one. I just didn't know the people were only going to be between 3 to 5 feet tall! They will grow!

"There are none so blind as those who cannot see." Perhaps the rest of my earth journey will be with improved vision.
