As you know, I believe in the Law of Attraction and how we are all energy and connected to each other.Today was another reminder of just how true that is for me, and how synchronicity is just perfect.
I ran into an old friend today that I hadn't seen in a few years. We hadn't parted on bad terms or anything like that, life just had us on different paths that didn't seem to cross as often. Yet today couldn't have been designed or planned any better.
After our 3 1/2 hour "lunch" I came away completely energized and beyond happy. My friend and I had, from my perspective, learned more about each other in those few hours, than we had in the previous ten years of knowing each other. Perhaps it is because we finally had the one on one time to learn these things or perhaps we are just in the same place at that same time right now.
NO, we are not living identical lives, but I mean spiritually - as in what we are looking for within and with out. I think it is amazing that by learning to be more of ourselves, we sometimes find we have more to share with others. I'm not sure how that works exactly but I find it to be true and have done, on many occasions. Perhaps it is because the more comfortable we are with ourselves the more we feel free to share with others and the universe we are exploring? Maybe it is just because finally being open to experience life, brings all of those who are living their lives, into our energy field because we are now attracting like minded people.
Sitting with my friend today, while I hope we did equal amounts of talking and I didnt take over too much in my excitement to see her, was amazing. I had the opportunity to see her blossom beyond perhaps what she had ever dreamed for herself, or perhaps had not even known she had given up on previously. I suspect, more accurately is that she just got lost along the way and didnt even realize it until she realized she no longer felt alive. I can say that without malice or judgement because I was once in her shoes.
Sometimes you are able to learn and grow with the people that are in your life and sometimes it takes some pretty heavy weeding of yourself and your garden. To be strong and courageous enough to put yourself, your life, your wants and your needs first - is one of the best gifts you will ever give yourself. Once you are your own person, you then have so much to give others - old and new. That old saying really is true about taking care of yourself will make you able to make others happy as well. I just never got it as clearly as I did today in seeing my friend.
If I am to be honest, I also enjoyed sharing this journey with her because it reminded me of what I have learned and brought into my own life as well and just how grateful I am that I learned the things I did. I know.. big run on sentence. But you get the idea. I hope that doesnt sound too selfish, but it felt good to know I wasnt alone and wasnt the only woman that felt this way.
Married or not, taking care of ourselves, becoming who we truly are, following our own dreams as well as being part of others - these are all small parts of the entire being that we are. We cannot cut out any one part or it just simply wont work.
I am so happy for my friend with her "new" life and her "new" journey and I am so proud to be part of it with her. I know that no matter what, todays perfect moment was to show us both, that we are on the right path. I know I look for signs - and today, for me, she was it!
Thank you Universe... thank you friend... xxoo
