Leap And A Net Will Appear

Leap and a net will appear they say. And I have never really FELT this statement. I am not sure if it is due to a lack of trust in myself, the Universe or the fact that I was taught be be rather cerebral about life. “LEAP AND A NET WILL APPEAR” - no matter how much I trusted the person saying it, my mind would say “Are you fucking kidding me” or “Hope so”.

Until now. I lept and a net appeared. I am not talking literally leaping off of a high cliff & fall - but a proverbial cliff & the net appeared nonetheless.

I had been working yet another job that was not satisfying. It wasn’t challenging, I was not proud of my work, and was supposed to be temporary yet I did not see an end in sight. I had been there for 7 months. I did not have another job but I trusted my ability to find work based on how I had in the past and I quit. I put my notice in. The wild thing here is that the moment I internally decided to leave and before I actually spoke to my boss the net appeared. I got a text from an old employer needing me. I hadn’t spoken to her in over a year nor worked for her in nearly three years. She needed me for some sporadic work over the month.

I could not believe repeating “LEAP AND A NET WILL APPEAR” the entire drive to work that morning had paid off. But then it appeared. I mean I had time to gather my thoughts over the next month with this new net of a gig and find another position that aligned with my goal, and values, and challenged me.

So right at the end of my notice “the net” fell through. A potential single day of work (maybe three) over the next month was not even promised but a “maybe'“. FUCK. I kept saying internally to myself - but then I realized. We get to CO-create with the Universe. We get to decide how we feel. So I sat in the dark panic feeling and breathed through it (several times). I thanked it for trying to protect me and I let it know it was safe to exist but I did not need it currently. When it got overwhelming I had to move so I walked, danced, swam, and shook it out.

I remembered the Universe does everything for us - so there must be something so much better around the corner.

To Be Continued….

I cannot wait to share what beautiful life gifts have transpired from this situation!
