One Balanced Life

Last week I was sitting on the stoop having my morning coffee and decided to have a conversation with the universe. And while I may tell others just ask the universe for what you need it will provide – I don’t always follow my own advice. Anyway, the talk went something like this…

“I know you have provided me with everything I really need and I am not sure of the right way and I feel a little small asking for this but I kinda need some cash.”

In the interest of honesty I will fess up – NEED is not the appropriate word – WANT is probably a titch more fitting. I’ve been desperately missing my camera, which was stolen this summer, and my bike, which wasn’t really mine but rather borrowed from a friend for the last two years, and I really…needed…OKAY wanted to plan a couple of trips.

Within hours of having this rather selfish conversation I had $8500 in cash in hand (and a rather funny story of selling a piece of property that wasn’t a fit anymore to a couple who seemed to be in dash for the southern border).

Reminded again about the power of asking…asking for what it is you need or want. Maybe for you it is clarity, forgiveness, peace, calm, courage, love, acceptance, or success or stuff. Just ask. Let yourself be surprised.
