My Pink Roadmap

    Hello Pinkies, it is 12:26 a.m. here in Ennis, Texas. I usually prepare the Think Pink Post several days before actually posting it online, but tonight I learned a valuable lesson that I felt compelled to share.
     My spiritual journey started not that long ago at all. In fact, I only recently surrendered my life, thoughts and dreams to God in September. But ever since that moment my life has been on the fast track to paradise. Sure, there have been moments of down time, questioning and anxiety. But overall my journey has been a profound one.
     Recently I have been feeling that God was leading me to break away from the bar I have been working at for the past several months. This decision scared for several reasons, one being loss of income. I usually brought anywhere from $100-$200 in a week. Though this may not seem like a lot, it is still money that won’t be there, should I leave the bar. Another situation that made me uncomfortable were the terms that my boss and I had been on for the last few weeks. The last thing I wanted was for him to think I was leaving the bar because of the tension between us and the conflicting conversations we have had in the past.
     I had been pondering and pondering whether or not leaving was the right thing for me to do. Then, my signs showed up; Lissa had a conversation about being patient and becoming, the last Mojo Tips Newsletter was about knowing when the timing was right: a peace would overcome you and it would be clear that this is what needed to be done.
     Tonight at the bar I was told I would not get to work a shift that I was promised. This was the last straw for me. I confronted my boss asking what the deal was and the conversation snow balled into a heart felt understanding of both sides of the story. Not only did I get the opportunity to express that I was leaving and why, but he got to tell me why the tension was there between us; thus resulting in the perfect moment. (Thanks Universe!)
     Another valuable lesson I learned from this situation is how vital communication is. In past conversations I told my boss that he couldn’t speak to me in the irritated tone he had been. Since this is one of the only ways he knew how to communicate, he stopped talking to me. This created tension, awkwardness and stress for both of us. Accepting others and loving them, means that take the good with the bad. Had I not told my boss to watch is tone, we could have gotten the problem solved a long time ago. Everyone has their own way of getting things out. It might not be our way of doing things, but it works for them.
     Where my journey will take me, who knows, but I praise the Universe daily for placing the people, occasions and lessons in the right place at the right time. I also give thanks for blessing me with an open heart and mind. My world has just started being created; I can’t wait to see what unfolds next.
    What about you Pinkies? What has the Universe brought into your life? How can you practice patience while you are becoming?
