Dwelling On Joy

In my inbox this morning:

Once one passes through the entry gates of time and space (Robin, this applies to you), it may be handy to know that simply dwelling upon joy, abundance, or anything else involving people, will literally draw complete strangers into your life, as if they were puppets on marionette strings. Creating new and totally unpredictable circumstances that will bring you more, more, more of whatever you were thinking about.

Rebel yell optional –
The Universe

Puppet on a string

And so begins the last week. One more day of work. One more weekend. One week of visiting and finalizing paperwork and sorting through things and packing. One more week of anticipating what’s next.

One week from today we’ll be out of our house and on our way.

“What are you going to be doing there?” The question has been asked of me many times. “I’m not sure” is the answer and it really is that simple yet that full of potential.

I wrote before about taking a leap and committing to something. That’s what this feels like. It’s impulsive yet deliberate. I’m focusing on making a change while leaving myself open to possibilities.

Once I moved through that entry gate — once I officially quit my job and knew this was real — the new and totally unpredictable started to happen. New contacts, new opportunities, new house purchases that just come together in one day as though it were meant to be. It’s been…well, it’s been cool.

So I will continue. I will dwell on joy and abundance and possibility. I will yell my rebel yell, even if for now it’s silent.

And I will await, and welcome, whatever comes next.
