Right Place, Wrong Time or Wrong Time, Right Place?

Over the last several weeks, I feel like God has once again put me into a place of learning and growing. No literally. A few weeks back (after months of sanitizing my world), my family and I got “The Rona”. Ugg. I am not going to mention any names, but another member of my household was not as “passionate” about social distancing and masks. Quite frankly, neither was I but I valued my freedom enough to know that I didn’t have time to isolate and / or quarantine. I was starting to actually start easing back out into the world (with my mask) as restrictions started to lift.

After months of being careful and spending most of my days on Zoom, it got me. I was faced with a dreaded “POSITIVE” result. Uggg. I was initially so mad at said party in my house. I was definitely not happy. I had a lot going on at work, things were starting to pop again at work, I could actually go have a meal at my favorite restaurant, meet a girlfriend…my daughter was getting involved in sports. Things were looking good. Then boom. In bed with no where to go. The thought of not even being able to go grab a few things at the grocery store was just sad. I actually had to ask for, ahem, help!!

I will say, I slept a lot for the few days. Watched a lot of Netflix and “got through”. The worst of it for me was a awful headache. I mean bad. Pounding headache. On top of that a cough which compounded my headache. So I slept. After a couple days, I actually started to embrace my new freedom. Yes, freedom. For so many years I had been caught up on the crazy train. Every. Day. Of. My. Life. The fast-paced living was “normal”. From the moment I got up to when I fall asleep, I was accounting for every moment of my day. There was no down time. At. All. I became the Queen of multi-tasking! This was me! 🙂

So now, I had no where to go and nothing but time!! We all started to enjoy staying in our jammies all day. I found myself doing things that I never had time for. It actually felt great! So while lounging in bed with an herbal tea and my lavender neck pillow I started going through my emails. There I found an invite to be part of something that definitely caught my eye and created a spark!

One of my favorite christian authors, Nicole Unice was launching a new book and I was going to be part of the books launch team. This was such a great honor for me and was happy to sign up for it. More importantly I got first dibs on reading the book. What I found was like gold. I was so caught up that I kept writing. Taking notes. Taking screenshots on the little “nuggets” I wanted to remember.

The book is called The Miracle Moment. And its all about relationships! If you have issues with someone and they never quite get resolved, this book will definitely provide some clarity if you are open to taking an honest look at yourself and your true feelings. Over the last several weeks I have been using some of Nicole’s suggestions like an ace in my pocket.

I am not sure where this journey is taking me, but I feel excited again. Hopeful for the future. If I have learned anything this past year, it is that nothing is as it seems. We CAN make changes in our lives. Even if they are small and they can make a huge difference. I am excited to share some of these “nuggets” with you and my hope and my prayer is that they resonate with you too and will start to create positive change for the better for each of us.
