I met the most amazing individual just over a month ago.

First of all, thanks to you all who have believed, supported and encouraged me these last years when I dreamed of writing another book.

Do you ever notice how your experience of abundance changes from day-to-day, or even from minute-to-minute? What is abundance anyway? Can it be measured by the

I squinted and crept forward until our bumpers almost touched….I read out loud:

Some things are meant to be…

And me caring about what you think isn’t one of them.

I laughed hysterically with a deep and abiding appreciation for this person’s ability to clearly know their boundaries. As recently as a few weeks ago my reaction might have huffed something like this….”Well, what a jerk, how unthoughtful and uncaring!” I am learning that a vital survival skill is self government in all situations and under all circumstances.

I recently went to a new dermatologist, Dr. Bell.

This month the Breakthrough blog authors have been writing about the future. However, I’ve noticed how each of my blogs have been about the future from the perspective of the past. Here’s what I mean…

In Universe/Multi-Verse, I wrote about how when we think about the past, we are transported to it as if it’s happening now. In Coming Soon to a Life Near You, I wrote about how I’ve noticed that when I look back at my life’s path there were very specific and accurate glimpses of the future. In Exceeds Expectations, I explain how I gained clarity through envisioning myself never finding the courage to speak up. And, even in this blog, here I am referencing the past by examining previous week’s blogs. It makes me wonder, have I missed the point? Perhaps not.

For reasons that are unclear even to me, I seem unable to write about the future without referencing the past. This “time travel” is even showing up in my dreams. I am mentioning my dreams here because I don’t always have them, nor am I in the habit of writing about them. However, last night’s dream seems relevant…

Last night I dreamt that I suddenly, and without notice, resigned my position at Edward Jones. I awoke with an intense amount of fear, shame, and the sense that I had disappointed my team leader, my team, and my friends. However, I also awoke with an acute awareness that there was no other alternative—I had to leave!

As I was explaining the dream to Michal he reminded me that the one year anniversary of my resignation was only a few days away. Then, it hit me. The cycles of life. The “seemingly” random cycles of my life. The future into which I am now living, based on my past. And then, suddenly everything made sense. I could see the wisdom in my life’s timeline…

In May 2006, I moved from St. Louis county to St. Louis city to share a re-habbed house with my friend Jennifer. In July 2006, I inaugurated Walking with Children in Honduras, then felt compelled to leave the project. In October 2006, I felt an urge to make a big change in my life. So, I finally decided to watch the copy of The Secret I had been given, and after only watching half of it, I pressed pause and said aloud, “So, if this ‘Law of Attraction’ thing works, I am going to attract a job that gives me financial stability and allows me to continue doing the work I love and a loving relationship.” Two weeks later, I received a call to come to Edward Jones to head up a project that was only supposed to last a few weeks. The project grew and I was offered full-time employment. In December 2006, my 40th birthday, while in San Diego my cousin challenged me to create a profile on Match.com.

In January 2007, even though I was thoroughly convinced that I would never find anyone on Match.com, I met Michal who lived two miles from my house and drove by my house everyday to go to work (Michal had returned from living in San Diego). Michal studied with Esther Hicks (Abraham) who was prominently featured in The Secret. In July 2007, because of my employ at Edward Jones I had the comprehensive health care coverage necessary to face an unexpected and challenging health crisis—a

I’m going to Boston to see our grandchildren. We have the tickets.
