Gratitude in My Heart Prevails Anxiety

I started this blog with the idea of starting a business in publishing with my sister.  We have a layout of a book that was supposed to be written a year ago. Maybe the book needs more time. (It is different than the manuscript I wrote myself). If you read my last post, I have let go of the plan we had, at least for now.

To create a new business while still holding on to your other business or work requires a tremendous amount of effort, focus and time. There are alot of sacrifices to make if you want to move on to something different. I want to do something different not only as a back up plan, but because I truly have the passion in my heart to inspire people. What better way to inspire, than to not give up on your dreams in the midst of great challenges.

I haven’t given up on my dreams. They simply have been revised. One needs to have flexibility in order to survive what is being thrown at you. I had another  real estate deal fall apart last month, when I thought things were getting better. And then…Sparky… So this month, in a few short words have been very heavy. 

 The good news is that I am grateful that I live in a beautiful city where there is lots of sunshine and I can go to the beach, listen to the waves of the ocean and be immersed in the rays of the sun. I am grateful for my mother who comes and brings me home cooked food and for my father’s great support. I am blessed with friends who call me and attempt to help me make the right connections.

I am grateful when the phone rings from a friend who wants to buy a property and tells me that he knows other realtors, but only would go through me. I am and have always been blessed to receive income and be able to support my son as head of the household.  I am grateful for a gentle but powerful force I feel in my heart as I move through these current challenges and  which brings peace to my anxiety. And most of all I am grateful for finally knowing when to stop my chattering mind get the best of me and instead listen to the voice of my heart which tells me that all will be OK.
