”I think gratitude is a big thing. It puts you in a place where you are humble” Andra Day

There are days when something small, some little thing gives us pause. It is in those small things that the greatest mysteries of the world reveal themselves. It happens to all of us, we usually don’t realize it until years done the road.
I’m not an “expert”. That said, I’ve had several of these experiences over the years. It’s subtle, like a wisp of fragrance in the air or the flash of a hummingbird’s wings. You almost miss it when it shows up…

Saturday morning, I was blessed with not one but two of these experiences. As if my angels were determined I would get the message NOW not Later!
There is a gloriously messy mulberry tree behind my house where I park. Messy because every morning in season- like now, I must sweep before I leave. Too. Many. Berries.
Two women walking past as I got in the car asked about the berries, telling me they were used as medicine in Africa and considered a blessing. I told them take as much as they wanted and feel free to come back with containers. I do pick and eat them after a good rain washes them clean. When I pulled off, they were still picking berries.

When I returned home, I saw a white women, with a container walking up the hill, away from my house. I mention her color because my beloved neighborhood is slowly gentrifying as housing prices skyrocket.

I had never seen her. Not ever. I parked and as I got out the car, here she comes, container in hand. She said as she walked up her steps, she realized I had parked and she wanted to introduce herself.

She was giving the berries to her chickens. While they are not currently laying enough eggs to share, trust I have a bid in for eggs when they do. She must be an optimist, because she even offered to put a tarp down for NEXT YEAR! No more sweeping! Again, I told her she could have all she wanted. Less work for me.
I share this because I wasn’t in a good place mentally, emotionally or financially. I’ve got to figure out how to insure and transfer the tags on a car in 4 days. I’ve got plumbing issues and other things going on. It’s a lot to deal with. But something told me to pay attention, this shit was important. More important then how unhappy I was or how bitter I felt. It was the kind of important that could alter my life if I let it come through. If I stopped kicking and screaming. If I just listened.
Imma stop here, because the next part is long and I don’t want to keep you. It explains more about my discovery and the feelings of joy and abundance, with the only change being my mindset. See you in a couple of days.
Thanks for reading! See you in a few!
