The Lesson 04/13/2009
 

Everyday, I'm grateful for those tough things in life that I have gone through. You have to look at things in a positive light. I have gone without. I have had no food, lights, money to pay rent, heat and was far from my family. It is in how you handle your difficulties. I had no lights so I lit candles. I had no heat so I bundled up and sang a song. I had no food and was sent a sandwich by a friend. I had no money to pay rent and the rent suddenly was paid by an anonymous stranger. Was I that bad off? No, because in my darkest moments of despair I was never alone. Do you appreciate the things that you have had to go without? I learned from being without. I learned that the light coming from that candle was far more beautiful than electricity. I learned that when I was cold the many blankets would keep me warm. I learned that someone did care if I ate. I learned that there are people in this world who I will never meet that are capable of acts of kindness. I learned that even though I had family, everything I had endured was to be a lesson. The biggest lesson I learned was that you have one thing in your life no one can take away and that is love. To love oneself as if you love a spouse or child is a lesson within itself. Be strong. You are learning. Don't miss the lessons that are being thrown at you because it will help you at a later date.

During the hardest of times I've learned it's best to simply ride God's wave. In fact, I made bumper stickers that say just that. Today I woke up feeling out of sorts. I know the energies are moving very rapidly now and that stirs things up in us. Once I was at work I simply walked on the grass and reminded myself to let go and ride the wave.

There is so much going on in each of our lives right now that it all gets confusing. I thought so much about the past as I drove to work and began to miss so much, but then I thanked the Creator for who and what I am, and let myself go; brought myself back into the beauty of right now.

Vikki,
I'm so proud of everything you've done and who you've become. You'll never know how highly everyone here in the Northeast of America speaks of you - all the time. We all love you and miss you so much.
