I want to share a funny story today about my own Gravity. I find Gravity in my life so often I just have to giggle.
Last week I headed to Atlanta for a speaking event and meetings. I went to San Jose on Sunday night to spend the night because I had a really early flight Monday morning. I reached the hotel only to realize I didn't have my wallet. That's when I remembered putting it in my jacket pocket when I bought horse food earlier that day. OOPS. So I drove back to Santa Cruz in the pouring rain. I reached in the pocket of my coat. My wallet wasn't there. What? Then I remembered - it had been raining really hard and I had on my drover coat - which had gone with me in the back seat of my truck to San Jose and back. Sigh, back I went to San Jose.
The next day in Denver I headed for one of my favorite stores during my layover. They had a skirt I really wanted - but not my size. However their sister store in Terminal A had my size. I had an hour plus left, so headed from B Terminal to A Terminal on the train. I was on the escalator when I heard a voice shout out "Miss, your wallet." I turned to see a nice gentleman holding my wallet, as the train doors closed and my wallet took a ride to the main Terminal. Without me. I won't bore you with the whole story but I did manage to get the wallet back and catch my plane to Atlanta.
The stories were great for laughs with my friends and my associates. But I knew there was a deeper message. The Universe was pointing out a piece of my own Personal Gravity - all about money.
I was raised by children of the Depression parents. I've worked hard to move beyond the constricted beliefs about money they were all of my childhood. But lately, as I am transitioning from full-time consulting to include speaking, writing and helping small businesses, I spend a lot of time focusing on my business model. How will the money flow?
I've sensed that I was limiting my potential, felt myself slipping back into those Gravity beliefs about not deserving to have everything I want - specifically in the case of money.
I know why my wallet tried to run away from home. The Universe was simply pointing out that my Dollar Gravity needed to be dealt with. This time for the last time. On the flight home I began to repeat my mantras, focusing on shifting into acceptance and allowing of limitless financial abundance. I felt better by the end of my flights, yet as I chatted with a girlfriend of mine as I was driving home from the airport late that night. I told her that I could still feel just a little bit of negativity surrounding the dollars, so I knew there was more to be done.
At 6 AM the next morning my phone rang. It was the parking shuttle bus driver. He was calling to let me know that he'd found my wallet in his shuttle bus that morning. I didn't even know it was missing.
"What is that all about?" you might ask. That's the Universe showing me that yes, I do I have more work to do. Doncha love it?
