More on The Secret

I'm starting to recognize the Secret is unfolding in my life. To me, I related it back to God working with me...more closely...or maybe I'm more focused in witnessing it. My mom may not have been the first to coin the phrase "God-incidence" but that's the first place I heard it. I started noticing it on occasion. Now, it's more frequent. Again, could be that I'm tuned into the frequency to hear/see it more than ever before. The Secret, God, coincidence...they all intermingle and can be boiled down to the same thing. There's a power greater than me, wielding me like a sword. I'm being directed down paths, if I chose to take them. And if I go down the wrong path, I am redirected to get back on course.

For years, and I mean a great number of years, I've been denying my path. I saw it, placed before me, and I chose not to take the route. Out of fear...it's not the right time...what if I fail...how would I do it...how could I ever do it. After Dr. D's talk on Friday, I knew I couldn't walk away from my true path anymore. I wanted to write a book, a children's book. But not just any book. A subject that's difficult to broach. But I knew it had to be written. It's my purpose and it needs to be fulfilled to help others. Still afraid, I decided to take a few steps forward. I wondered, "Where do I start?" And then one of my pivotal people said, "Just write." Shay: thank you for those 2 wonderful words. It was the gentle push that got me started.

The book is written...it was written in one day...in a matter of hours. I'm reworking it, polishing it, having another PP edit it (thanks Myrn) and I'm going to contact a third PP about illustrations. Who knew that my cousin and favourite summertime playmate would lead to this moment. As kids, my cousin Maureen and I spent summers together at each other's home. She loved to draw and I loved to write stories. I remember us talking about making books together. And now it's coming together. I wonder if the hairs on her neck are tingling as I talk about this. :) Anyway, my point is to listen to that voice within and find out your purpose. Then follow it. It's amazing how everything starts to unfold before you. Little wishes and wants falling in your lap. God/the Secret is working within me. I'm so blessed.
