…Well that doesn’t really matter does it?
So, regardless of how the universe has been kicking my
patootie I am still determined to get this stuff down. I will be the embodiment
of my beliefs all (well most) of the time and I work pretty hard at practicing
what I “preach.” Living by example is, to me, the best way to learn and teach.
And with that being said, here’s a new little (or maybe not so little) tidbit
of how the universe has worked its magic in my environment... AGAIN!
Typically (probably more like always) when we are struggling
with a specific something (or specific somethings) and we’ve notified the
universe (by way of intentional or unintentional means) the universe helps. By
helping, I mean it bombards you with opportunities of expansion, as often as
moment to moment until you acknowledge the issue and decide to actively take
the steps provided to let it go.
SO this week (Week of 7/23 to be exact), I’d been receiving
a lot of messages regarding worrying. *scratches chin* I mean why would I need
to work on worrying? I
certainly don’t have an issue with worry. *in my haughty know it all voice* Hehe,
well, regardless of what I thought, I received many messages from avenues that
provide profound guidance to me on a regular basis. Well after reading these
messages (yes they were literal messages that I receive from regular sources) I
started to feel that I should be looking deeper as to why there seemed to be so
many coming at once regarding the same topic.
Well it turned out that I HAD been worrying. See when it
comes to me, I hardly ever worry. I know I can handle anything (because I’ve
shown myself many times over that I can), however my children are a different
story entirely. I tend to immediately go down the path of worry when they’re
involved. So as discussed in one of my last posts, I had to get my oldest son
registered for Kindergarten (who told him he was allowed to become a school
aged child, I still need to get to the bottom of that). Well, finally having
completed registration (spiders and all), he still needed before and after
school care. There is no way, with our work hours, either my husband or I could
be there when the bus arrived to get him or drop him back off. Dropping him off
and picking him up directly during school hours was also out of our reach, at
least from our current perspectives.
This being our first time having this experience, we had no
clue how to go about finding this type of care, and the school’s website left
not an inkling of info regarding how it could be obtained (so helpful, really
/sarcasm). Let me also add that I had about a week to come up with a solution.
(no pressure /more sarcasm) Yes, I was definitely getting worried. BUT, I also
knew that worry would not get the results we all wanted. So, I toned down the
worry, and did some Google searching instead, which resulting in obtaining a
starting point.
Of course the idea of
the place I THOUGHT I liked the best had a wait list. (YAY! /had enough sarcasm
yet?) Regardless, we came up with possible alternatives that could suffice
until that particular location would be able to accommodate the care of my son.
Well (I really do say well a lot), The Man called the number provided on the
website and the location we called was specifically for a certain school, as
they were located onsite. Turns out, the company has multiple programs for the
majority of public schools in the area (onsite). Why I was not informed of this
from the get go… really doesn’t matter at this point.
What does matter, is that I didn’t give up and go back to
worrying, after this “set back.” Again I had some tools at my disposal and
chose to use them. I decided to go back and perform another Google search this
time with the name of the school and “before/after school care.” Would you know
it, this is exactly how I found just what I needed. I called the number listed,
got the info needed and made arrangements to complete the registration for the
program… THAT DAY! Can you believe that
LESS than 24hrs after I’d decided to stop worrying, and instead start using the
tools I already had in my possession, everything I needed was given to me? There’s
something to be said about trusting the process. I’m just saying. ;)
Love,
