I had the chance to learn a lot today. I signed up for the Small Business Expo the moment it crossed my path without batting an eye or understanding why. I’m doing my best to surrender to whole process and trust that my life, my path, my journey, it’s all unfolding chronologically the way it’s meant to. It’s difficult to do sometimes but I’m trusting my invisibles have my back knowing I’m here on assignment so when opportunities arise that just feel right, I go for it.
My only job these days is to not let any doubt creep into my sometimes overanalyzing mind. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, doubt kills dreams faster than failure. It’s not always easy to trust everything’s working itself out when you’re anxiously anticipating the next phase of your life. It’s even harder when I just had a fantastic vacation and now I’m back, it’s not that I don’t want to be here, I just want to keep moving forward. There’s reasons for everything and I have to be okay with not knowing what some of those reasons are until they’re meant to be known.
I singed up for the expo maybe two months ago and it’s the events that transpired before I even attended that had me at yep, it’s meant to be. Not long after signing up everything just fell into place and I knew next I needed some business cards. With the help of my homie Tony G and his expertise in graphic design along with his tech support we made it happen. It was over the course of about a week and half of us going back and forth with this, that and the other, then he sent me a link of where to order them, and boom my business cards were on the way.
The next synchronistic awesomeness to happen is what I call mailbox magic two days before I had to board a plane. I received a text from my lawyer informing me he was about ready to submit my trademark application. He was also saying it would be in my best interest to have a business address in addition to my home address. One would be for public use while the other would be kept private and then less than twelve hours later, I had one. I was working a double the evening I received that text and was like, where the heck am I gonna get a business address?
My mind started to race knowing I had to be back at work the following morning for another double and was leaving for New York the following morning after that at 6am. Where would I find the time not to mention resources? It was only a matter of about thirty minutes before it all started to fall into place. Luckily I wasn’t working by myself the following morning so I texted my co-worker to tell him I’d be maybe thirty minutes late knowing the post office opened at 9 o’clock. But it was on my way home that it all came together.
I remembered a UPS store making it’s way into the neighborhood some six months ago. It’s literally on my way home so I checked the hours and wouldn’t you know it, it opened up at 8:30. Perfect I thought to myself and then did some research when I got home. Who knew there was such a thing as virtual mailboxes? I was there five minutes early, signed this, signed that, paid for a year in advance and was only ten minutes late to work. Amazing. Everything from the expo invite to the business cards to the mailbox went like clockwork.
I didn’t know exactly why I was going to the expo but got excited anyway. I don’t know the first thing about starting a business, I’m a Psych major, or was anyway. I like writing and creating, and publishing, but when it comes to business and finance, it may as well be a foreign language. But that’s okay, I tend to learn as I go so here I am all excited to get out of my comfort zone, but not really because there were moments I definitely felt out of place. The music helped with my enthusiasm which got me going and the penny I found was an added bonus. They had the best playlist with the volume turned up all day long that had me dancing like no one was watching.
The badge alone was enough to get me excited and boost my confidence which got me to thinking that maybe perhaps that’s exactly why Spirit had me attend this event. Confidence is a big deal and I started near ground zero five years ago. It worked though. It was fun too. I met some cool people and handed out my business cards when I felt it was appropriate. I got some cool swag and attended some workshops and keynote presentations. In some way and on some quantum level my attendance I’m sure had something to do with getting an invisible ball rolling or strengthening more of my unseen momentum.
At one point I felt like maybe I’m here to fine tune my discernment. There was one booth there that was speaking my language but the more I conversed with them the more I felt like they weren’t my people. I’m all about hypnosis and I’ve mentioned before that it’s a tool I would like to have in my toolbox but right now is not the time. I’m not here to perform past life regressions on people, as a career anyway, I’m here for much more than that.
All I can do is follow my intuitive prompts and nudges knowing I am here on assignment as a member of the Family of Light, I’m just waiting to find out what my calling truly is. I don’t know what I’m here to do exactly, I just know my blog and my story have something to do with it. I will own my own business some day, I just don’t know doing what exactly. Besides healing generational curses and clearing intentional karma of course, but those are already in my repertoire so I’m eagerly anticipating what’s next.
Whatever it is I’m here to do is going to require a lot of confidence, integrity, sovereignty and authenticity and I’m on my way. What I do know for certain is that I am divinely guided and destined for success.
Love and Light
