In times of emergencies, I could always be counted on to be the broadcast system, dishing out helpings of woo woo - God has a bigger plan...This is the Universe's way of telling you to shift gears...One day at a time...Energy goes where attention flows...Bless it and let it go...blah, blah, blah. It has gotten to the point where some of my friends teasingly refer to me as Happy Jacq.
Last week, the freelance job that I have come to depend on for the past almost 11 years between acting gigs went poof! The comfort of a regular paycheque had been yanked from right under my hiney. Ouch! At first I was calm, recalling all the affirmations that I had so often recited to my friends in their times of need. But then, the little devil on my shoulder pushed the red fire alarm button and PANIC began to set in. I was on the verge of sending out invitations to my pity party when I had an "aha" moment. Happy Jacq was being tested, a test of her emergency broadcast system! Did I really believe all that feel good, self-help, woo woo stuff that I so often dish out in huge helpings?
After forgiving myself for being human, I donned my goddess skirt, lit a little sage (can't stand patchouli), sat in full on lotus position, and this physician (with a little help from caring soon-to-be former coworkers, and friends who love me dearly) began to heal herself! We live in a world where there is a plethora of self-help tools at our fingertips. But reading and reciting won't do much good unless we also believe and apply the stuff. So say it with me, "This too shall pass."
Namaste
