2016 – Week 12 – Hug from the Universe

2016 – Week 12 – Hug from the Universe

By

First, I have a confession to make.  I lived with fear of people for many years, (read my 2014 blog posts to see how quickly the MKMMA squashed that) but I still have trouble asking for help, or asking for what I need; hence, I’ve never reached out in the three years of being involved in the class, to ask to Mastermind with anyone.

Right before Thanksgiving, someone apparently deduced or decided that I needed support, so after an initial phone conversation with him, I’ve been getting periodic, positive texts.  Each one has been a welcome and very pleasant surprise – a quote here, a phrase there, little emoji’s added at the bottom.  They gave me a real boost.

This week has not been great.  It actually was left over from the last two weeks attending funerals and all that goes with that.   But this week started with a family member in a chaotic, emotional mess early on Monday morning awakening me about 3:30.   Then there were technical problems with my work situation.  Not enough to make me have to stop working all together, but enough that it make the last two days of work very challenging and cumbersome.

So – in the middle of the morning, doing my best to work under circumstances that could be better, I got a text alert.  Happy for the distraction, I looked.   No words, no emojis, just a link to this:

“When you wish upon a star -makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires will come to you.

If your heart is in your dream, no request is too extreme –
When you wish upon a star, like dreamers do.
Fate is kind, she brings to those who love –
The sweet fulfillment of their secret longing.
Like a bolt out of the blue, fate steps in and pulls you through
When you wish upon a star –  your dream comes true.
Like a bolt out of the blue, fate steps in and pulls you through
When you wish upon a star –  your dreams come true.”
~Leigh Harline and Ned Washington 
The opening few notes touched my heart and, of course, I started to cry.  Which is always a good thing.  This was a lovely, warm hug that came with many reminders:  I’m not alone.  I have dreams worth dreaming.  Someone sees my heart.  I am not alone.
My son who was in chaos said, “I shouldn’t need help, I should be able to do this on my own.”  I told him – no one can do life alone.  Everyone needs others – even Jesus had his close three, then the rest of the 12, and He was the Son of God.

Woops – stop the presses.  Clink.  (cement falling).  What did my son say to me? 

“I shouldn’t need help, I should be able to do this on my own.”    Hey, Mom – you taught him well.  More tears.

 

After Mark J. encouraged Brittany on Sunday’s webbie to do the thing that makes her uncomfortable (reading her one-sentence DMP – which was beautiful, by the way) – I decided then that I would reach out and ask for a Mastermind to help me with three things I’m having trouble with – but I haven’t done it yet – then I got the text with the song, turned it into a blog post – which gave me a giant “ah-ha” insight while writing it, and more weaving of the strands of the story together, as only the Master Weaver can.
I’ll reach out today.
