some wonderful things happened this week that I must record. I thought that I had lost some work of mine about a year ago. I kept intermittently looking for it, getting more and more anxious as with every attempt I yielded nothing. I found myself discussing the loss with two colleagues of mine and they both tried to see whether they could help me retrieve it online to no avail. I really appreciated their help, and when I got home, I looked in the same location to see whether I could find it, but I too was unsuccessful. Then, at about one thirty in the morning I sat bolt upright in my bed with a very strong hunch about where I might find what I was looking for. I put on my computer, went to my oldest email address and typed in the name of my old partner, and there, very simply was his email to me with nine files of the images that I had been looking for for so very long. I was aghast and grateful at the same time! I thanked him and thanked him in my heart and on my lips as finally I was able to go to bed, comfortable in the understanding that I had finally found what I had searched for for so very long. The fact that I found it did wonders for my faith. I suddenly felt great confidence in my ability to be still and know. But I also thanked my darling boy, for he knew me so well, and I did him, that I almost laughed at myself. How could I not have thought that I would find it where I did? All of this time I had recalled that he had shown the images to me on Wordpress that I gave him the password to, and asked him not to tell me because I had some serious work to do, and did not want to be distracted by writing on the site any further while I got my deadlines met. He died, and I was never again able to get into the account. At that early hour in the morning, when I saw what I had been looking for, Ifelt that he and I communicated this situation to happen as it was meant to. ...... Being still and knowing continued to suit me, as just today,I finally had the opportunity tithing about two of my large goals, and discuss them with my mother.Usually, I would feel a bit uncertain when telling anyone, particularly my mother about my plans. I did not feel that way this time.I was speaking with a knowledge that I had thought out the good, bad and indifferent regarding my circumstances. I caught no approval.I was speaking aloud, being conscious of stating in the moment the very real intentions before me, and it was good.I had not done that in a long time. My ex-husband's text messages to me this week that threatened to upset me was the catalyst to buoying up my personal resolve and strength. I have much to do, and what is wonderful about what occurred this week is that I know that I turned a significant page in my approach to my life. ..... I thank another person long gone, Auntie Sapphire, thank you. You were so ahead of your time. You were so fearless and so beautiful, wise and kind. The thought of you jumped into my mind as I spoke to my mother, and I remembered how much you used your creativity and boundless energy to make things happen. You may have had moments of defeat or doubt, but I never saw you being disparaging or despondent. You took people under your formidable strength of character and your warm smile and good heart never made any of us feel anything but love and regard for you. The memory of you this week spoke to me and said...go be the pioneer that you know you are. Your here to do new things, build new vistas, the limit is only there if you place them upon yourself. ...... My heart vibrates with love and pride at the fact that I have reached to this phase in my thinking. I am deeply grateful
