What a gorgeous day! Started off with white-out fog which later cleared to reveal a gorgeous sunny afternoon. Quite the metaphor for how I felt today, actually.
I have signed up for a stand at The Vitality Show at Earls Court next week. In my usual style, I booked the stand a couple of days ago meaning I have signed up for an almighty financial and logistical challenge with only a few days to plan and prepare. Thing is, something has been telling me that I have to be at the show and I have learned to listen to that instinct. So, I am being massively daring and mighty, rising to the challenge, putting myself out there again while trusting that the Universe will support me. Nothing ventured, nothing gained….!
I suffered massive overwhelm this-morning. A supplier let me down and I was struggling to sort out various admin related to the show. I seemed to be coming up against wall after wall. Meanwhile, I have literally thousands of products to make, wrap and pack with only a handful of days left to do it, while being mum. Out of the blue (or should I say fog!) friends jumped to the rescue, offering to help me with some of my more menial tasks. I found it incredibly hard to accept their help but they were very insistent. And that wasn’t the end of it. The sun came out, I recruited a new supplier to replace the one I lost, all the admin I was struggling with miraculously sorted itself out and I had a call from another supplier offering generous, unexpected assistance. I made work feel more fun and manageable this-afternoon by doing it at a table in the garden, in glorious sunshine. Perfect.
I was reminded again today to keep my faith. Keep trusting that I am being supported as long as I remain true to myself and what I feel is my purpose. The Universe just keeps on supporting me. THANK-YOU!
