This journey you are on is a powerful one and you have so many friends supporting you through it all. <br /><br />I have also been driving a strange curve through the road of life and can totally relate to you and your experiences. When my sister passed away and I lost my job of 8 years all in the same 24 hours I entered new and unknown waters. Everything that I thought was true and real was definitely not true and real. In a sense, I woke up (literally) and realized I had so many opportunities AND STILL DO! Friends came out of the woodwork and I was overwhelmed by their kindness, love and support. <br /><br />Thank you for your honesty.

I'm exactly where I'm suppose to be as my Aunt Kathy used to say - even when it feels dark and not so 'nice'. There is a great song that a friend just burned on a CD for me for my birthday - not sure who it is but I love the chorus which goes 'And I'll receive bright glittering gifts from the dark'. I really believe that. We are living in an incredible time - not so secure or predictable - but incredible. I am your fan, friend, and east coast hostel in Boston if you are ever here.

I also remember this conversation during our Introduction to Leadership Program as well. The invention of creating a possibility of being vulnerable arrived and you are that. It is a good thing (big smile). <br /><br />Bravo from coming from this place. The willingness to be open and real with ourselves and others causes great shifts in how we truly contribute not only to our own lives but to others as well. Another thing that I am hearing from your message above is the art of allowing and being in the place of surrender to allow things to unfold naturally in the current of life itself. So much more powrful than resisting to what is so and what you want to create in life to make it your playgrond. <br /><br />Lastly, what I hear is "ask and it is given." When we are clear on what we want and have the courage to go after it, it is amazing how things just flow on the course of abundance. <br /><br />With love always,<br />Uma DeviUma Devihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08330836608357995519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1009372619858621005.post-82973412949313086392009-05-18T23:29:00.000-06:002009-05-18T23:29:00.000-06:00Dear Shasheen...

The Pink Elephant Project has magic in it's vibration. With all of us united, sharing the love...it's going to rock the world in the sweetest way!<br /><br />Grateful to be a part of the journey!!<br /><br />Here's to living from the heart, with joy!<br /><br />In Harmony...

We can all gain strength from that- I know I can. Very inspiring.

These are ...Thanks Shah, it is great to read this. These are new rules operating today... I am in a similar place... the market has fallen out and so has my salary. But the offerings are always there, if you keep your eyes open, aren't they? In this quiet time, having closed my gallery to partner with another, moved to a new city where I knew no one, ending a relationship that couldn't survive my move, and now without the community I was part of and financial stability I expected [and upon which I based my rent, etc.]... things are a whole lot different than I envisioned when I moved here 6 months ago. Interestingly, the universe provides. First the tax refunds came back, in the amount of my rent, another payment came in that was the amount of the second month's rent. Yet most importantly, through this quiet time, which has not been exactly fun, I've been incredibly creative, am working on a new idea - have done the same thing - reached out to dozens of women to interview them on a wedding project, and been amazed at the response. It's always there, if you just ask... I just forget to when I get busy. So I love what you are doing, and it is a reminder that there is a reality there that will catch you if you expect it and ask for it. Most importantly, and hardest to do, is to be vulnerable... but that's when the connections are made. Funny how counter-intuitive it is. Nice work. I am not surprised, from our brief meetings at Colgate.. SaraSarahttp://www.100bridestellall.comnoreply@blogger.com
