I hope you had a great holiday season and feel inspired to cultivate energy for transforming your life in 2026!

2026 is the year of the horse.

And to this day …

I still write in this journal…(this journal manifested into Trigger’s book.)

With the intentions and visions I desire for myself.

YOUR story, your life, begins with an inner vision.

Thoughts manifest into things.

And each day is a new opportunity to begin again ..

1.   State your purpose and intention:

2.   Find the courage from within to fully live YOUR life based the Divine spark God placed on YOUR heart….

3.   Move your hands and feet. Momentum builds over time.

4.   Pray. And become aware the God-winks that are pointing you in a direction.

Have a blessed 2026!

I love meeting people and listening to interesting stories. I also enjoy telling stories because I often find myself in  “out-of-the-ordinary” situations; therefore, if I can share my experience with another, who knows how it will come full circle in Divine time. 

 I do my best to be obedient to God’s voice and follow His guidance. And when I find myself needing to make one of two choices, I tune into my intuition and pray my way through the action I’ve chosen.  

I mean, when God gives instructions, I believe it’s best to move your feet.

Storytime!

In my opinion …

One of the most interesting places to meet people and have great conversations is in the sauna or cold plunge pool at the gym. You never know who you’re going to meet or what we’ll talk about. Regardless, it’s a joy to meet like-minded individuals working to improve ourselves from the inside out. 

A few weeks ago, a handful of us were sitting in the sauna, sweating and talking about the cold pool that had just been introduced to the gym.

To be honest, none of us were that excited about sitting in the 55 degree water for an extended period of time, but we’ve discovered that the aftereffects are life changing. 

Moreover ….

We were talking about life experiences and someone asked me if I’d ever cold plunged into a lake. I said, “Yes. But not intentionally.” Then I proceeded to share an adventure that happened years ago while walking around a lake with my dogs. It was the dead of winter and a stranger’s dog fallen through the ice, so I jumped in and brought him back to shore. 

You can ready full story here—> 

https://scottamyx.com/2018/04/23/woman-jumps-into-frozen-lake-save-strangers-dog/

As my story telling in the sauna came to an end,  I headed out the door and playfully said, 

“No dog dies under my watch.” 

We all chuckled and parted ways. 

Weeks later….

I saw the couple in the sauna, again.  The gentlemen looked at me and said, “Hey. Are you the girl who told us the dog story a few weeks ago?!” 

I replied, “yes.” 

He said, “You’ll never guess what happened to us on our walk!?

This morning we took our dogs on the trail and a woman approaching us said, ‘Do you realize you’re being followed by three coyotes?!’ I turned around and sure enough a small pack of coyotes were stalking us. 

So I raised my hands and shouted at the top of my lungs. The coyotes scampered as fast as they could until a neighbor’s dog jumped out of his backyard and into the center of the pack. 

I immediately knew I had to do a something to save this dog!  So without hesitation, I unleashed my golden retriever and told her to ‘go get em!’

With no fear, my dog took off after the coyotes and the neighbor’s dog was able to get away and run to safety. 

My golden retriever barreled back to me with the biggest smile on her face. It’s as if she knew she’d saved a furry friend.

I looked at my wife and said, ‘no dog dies under my watch.’

We both smiled, laughed and thought of you. 

Thank you for sharing your story because it inspired us to do what we needed to do in our predicament. 

——

Moral of the story …

When you need to “jump” into action for yourself or a friend, do so! And do it UN-afraid! Move ahead with conviction as if you KNOW you’re doing the “right” thing and trust the power of the Holy Spirit is running through your veins.

All in all….

Life is interesting, isn’t it? Kinda like we are walking each other home one step at a time. I also find it ironic how Divinely orchestrated this Universe is, and how we are designed to “show up” in each other’s lives to share a particular event that may impact someone’s future. 

Btw ….

Dog is spelled God backwards. So there’s that.

I’m often asked about “manifesting” and how I’ve manifested Divine experiences in my life.

If you’ve read my memoir, A Charmed Journey,  you’d know that I talk about how I manifested trips, opportunities, educational experiences, relationships, and most importantly Divine encounters.

 Read A Charmed Journey

The truth is that God is my focus and foundation…

but I also know that I have to do the physical “part” by aligning my energy, aka frequency, every single day.

Aligning thoughts, words and actions between the mind, body and spirit..

are fundamental for manifestation.

In addition, the flow of Wisdom (and grit) needs to continue even when in doubt….

There are a lot of moving pieces when it comes to manifesting and bringing your deepest desires and dreams into this life experience….

and nothing replaces hard work, dedication and God’s grace.

The power of prayer is my go-to and then I set my intention.

And by continually doing the daily “work” ….

spiritually, mentally, emotionally and physically

is what will turn the circumstances around in life.

Have a blessed week,

Angela

If you’d like to work together and align your energy to your Highest potential…

Let me know!

Watch Video about Archangel Raphael 

The reason why angels are on “top” of mind is because a few nights ago Archangel Sandalphon came to me. This was the first time I’ve ever experienced his energy and it was pretty magical. He told me his name and also stated that his role is to carry my prayers to God. And then I woke up! It was surreal experience.

Angels are God’s helpers, and are known to be on “assignment.” They are spiritual beings who assist God, especially in the work of salvation and their roles also include protectors and guides for humans, as well as for animals, in my experience.

Depending on the situation, I mostly call upon Archangel Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, and now Sandaphon. Angels play different roles and depending on your needs, they are eager to help when you call them by name.

So when I need an extra dose of protection and strength, I call upon Michael. He carries a sword and is a powerful warrior to have on your team! I also ask him to hover over my home and add extra layer of protection.

I call upon Gabriel when I need extra support for creativity and communication, and I invoke Raphael for healing myself, my clients and animals. And now I will call upon Sandaphon.

I hope you have a great rest of your day, and if you feel inspired, reach out to an Archangel for help. Take a deep breath, call them by name and then begin to notice how they show up in your life!

Happy Sunday!

The post Call upon God’s messengers for help! appeared first on Angela Lenhardt.

The other morning I went to the coffee shop before I went to my office. Entering my latest book, Trigger the Wonder Horse: Memoir of A Spiritual Warrior into a few contests was on my agenda plus I enjoy “working” with a cup of coffee in hand.

But that particular day, the process of completing my mission was beyond challenging.  From technical difficulties to the file being too big, it took patience and presence to get the job done! But after two hours of wiping the sweat from my palms,  I persevered.

Everything about that experience told me that I needed to go for a walk in nature.  My intention was to clear by mind and body from an overwhelmingly sensation of pressure and stress, and decided to stay close to home and walk in the neighborhood.

It was mid-afternoon and the park was quiet. Besides me, a couple were the only ones in the vicinity. I sat down at a picnic bench and began to pray.  I asked God for guidance about various things in my life, but most importantly, I wanted clarity about entering my book in the contests.  My exact words were, “God. Please give me a message that leaves no room for misinterpretation.”

 The weather felt like a warm spring day with the sun beaming down on my spine. It felt so good to soak in the sun’s nourishment.  But then, I was inspired to get up and back to business.

 I looked around the park wondering “who” is going to give me a message. I mean, the park was empty except for the couple, and they weren’t headed my direction.

I looked up to the sky. Is there a “sign” in the clouds of some sort?

Nothing. No message that I could decipher, anyway.

As I’m  ½ through the park, I rounded the corner and noticed a white piece of paper lying in the middle of the sidewalk.

There wasn’t a soul in sight.

My heart began to race and I thought to myself, “is that my message?”

I bent down and picked up the folded piece of paper. I couldn’t believe my eyes. It was verse from the Bible that read, “2^nd Timothy Chapter 1, Verse 7: God will never give you the spirit of fear, but the Holy Spirit who gives you mighty power, LOVE and self-control. I love you, Shannon.”

I sat down and began to cry.  I was a bit overwhelmed by the “whole” experience of the morning and now I receive  a message, on a piece a paper, from Shannon. So to remain in alignment with who I am and what I do,  I chose to make a face book live video and show others what had just transpired, in real time.

Five minutes or so went by, and then a woman approached me asking if I needed anything. I told her my tears were “happy” tears but I appreciated her stopping to ask.

I caught my breath. I folded the piece of paper and put it in my pocket. I walked home.

I put the note where I can be reminded of how God works.

Mysteriously, through people, and all in His timing.

Amen.

Focus and Connect.   Those were my instructions.  

August 30th

One day my body was feeling fine and the next day I could barely get out of bed.  

It all began on a Sunday when I woke up with a migraine. Having a migraine was a new thing for me, but since Sunday is the day when I need to feed Trigger in the am and pm, staying in bed wasn’t an option.  But after I got to the barn, it was apparent I  could barely stand up, much less carry a water bucket. I did my best to hurry and leave.  I knew that I needed to find help immediately.  

The doctors at Urgent Care couldn’t find anything wrong with me, but gave me meds for the migraine and told me to rest.  I hadn’t eaten breakfast that morning so thought maybe my blood sugar was off and drove to the  grocery store. But once I’d parked, I realized I didn’t have the physical strength to go inside. My body was weak. I sat in my car with tears in my eyes and asked God to drive me home.

He did.  Within moments, the pain in my arms subsided which allowed me to put my hands on the wheel and focus on the road. 

When I returned home, I was out of energy knowing that I had a chiropractic treatment the following day and my hope was that maybe he could fix me. 

When I got to my chiroprator’s office Monday morning he looked in my eyes and said  “what is wrong with you”?  After all, I walked into his treatment room after bumping into numerous walls and doors.  His first impression was that I had a stroke and sent me to the hospital.  

A friend came to pick me up. After 8 hours of being poked by needles, a MRI’s  and Cat scan, the doctors still couldn’t determine there was anything wrong with me.  

Over the next few days I drove myself to 2 additional hospitals.  More MRI’s and CAT scans,  but the results came up with nothing and no clear direction about my health. At the end of day, all I can remember is that my head and body was in a tremendous amount of pain, and to top it off, I received a phone call that Trigger’s back legs started to weaken and needed to be put in a small pen so that the vet could monitor him. 

 Wondering what am I going to do next,  I laid on my living room floor.  Within seconds, my face began to feel “funny” and a tingling sensation began to overwhelm me.   I got up to look in the bathroom mirror.  Before my eyes, I began to witness the right side of my face literally begin to droop and become paralyzed. Bell’s Palsy was taking over and I was watching it change before my eyes.

I was really scared.

I dropped down and laid on the floor and began to cry,  “What the heck is happening to me? God what do I need to do?”  

God: “what do you know how to do”

Me: help people heal

God: how do you do that?

Me: through spiritual connection and focus

God: then do it for yourself. 

I recited Psalm 91. 

God then told me to “call Jill.” I had forgotten until that moment that my friend, Jill, was married to a MD.  I picked up the phone and dialed her number. I wasn’t sure if she’d be able to understand my speech because half of my face wasn’t “working” properly but I had no choice. Jill answered and told her husband to take to me.  Him and I face-timed and thankfully he immediately knew what was happening in my body and pointed me in a wise direction for seeking medical attention.  

Modern medicine is a great thing, and so is the power of prayer. Without the prayer and willingness to listen, I’m not sure if I’d be able to adequately hear the guidance in taking the next step.

Now granted, I did what I needed to do. No alcohol, no sugar, vitamins, acupunture, sleep, meditation and I remained focused on healing.  I did not feed the fears.  I couldn’t because if I did, I knew I would perish.  

I feel incredibly lucky and blessed. My face healed within one week, which the doctor said was practically unheard of because of the severity of the Bell’s Palsy.  

There is no doubt of the multiple life lessons in this experience.  But if there is one thing I know for certain is  that I will not get out of bed in the morning until I thank God for my heath.  

 So what occurred that forced my body to “stop?”

It was a combination of external circumstances.  At the end of the day, my doctor told me it was a virus caused by stress.  Between the Colorado fires, air quality, my daily schedule and the chaos of watching the news/media, my body had become overly sensitive and forced to shut down.  Paralyzed in fact.  Soul preservation is real.  

The last few months have reminded me of this basic Truth: Once fear and doubt have a way to permeate your mind, these forces won’t stop wrecking havoc on your body and spirit until they destroy it.

Connect and focus. Focus on the Light standing in the midst of darkness.

The Good news is: The power to heal is within your own mind, knowing that God has the final word.

“When angels appear”

As I sat down to write this email, I began thinking about angels and the power of Divine guidance, and then I scrolled through facebook and noticed this photo that was posted yesterday.  To me this is evidence that God and his angels are watching over our world. (The angel is on the left and the soldier on the right).

So with that, my thoughts were then directed to deliver an inspired message about the power of inner transformation.

You see, the soul’s growth and evolution is continuously participating in at least 3 cosmic/earthy cycles simultaneously (in this dimension anyway.)

For instance, the physical body is experiencing a one year cycle, just like mother nature. The “inner shift” cycle is happening every 7 years, and then the spiritual body is operating within a nine year cycle. This is the renewal process of the mind, body and spirit.

Traumas, pain, chaos, ancestral, earthy and spiritual lessons/agreements are deeply embedded within these multi-dimensional layers of the soul that are beckoning to be healed and transcended. This is God’s plan for your life. To heal and connect. To renew the mind and connect with the One Mind.

So you may be wondering, “why is it so challenging to break certain “cycles” in my life?”

And the answer may be hidden in this thought. “It’s necessary to transform the energy within Self FIRST before the external world can show you the evidence of change.”

Now I wish I could say that I just read a few spiritual books and all of “this” made logical sense to me.  But this isn’t the case. This information has been revealed to me over the past year in my personal experiences, and in my face over the past 6 weeks! In fact, it’s mind boggling!

So if you’re saying to yourself, “What can I do to begin heal my cosmic/earthy cycles today?”…

Here is a suggestion to begin the inward journey of personal transformation…

The harvest full moon will appear Friday the 13^th…

Go outside and look up. Immerse yourself in Mother Earth’s nutrients by fueling yourself with Yin energy. The fall season is the time of year to reap the seeds you’ve sown.  To harvest the hard work you’ve devoted your time and energy towards; your dreams and ambitions. And as you gaze into this 9^th full moon in 2019, (how ironic is that?) take a deep breath and feel the wave of this healing light cleanse and purify your physical body one cell at a time, creating space for new beginnings and opportunities to be attracted to your soul for living your life’s purpose.

Now granted, personal transformation takes time, patience and dedication.  There is NO quick fix for transforming your life, but you can take one step and then another. And within a short amount of time you’ll be able to look back and see how far you’ve come in creating lasting changes from within.

For more information on how you can transform your spiritual, mental, emotional and physical body, let’s connect!

I look forward to assisting you in creating a life that you love!

Love, Blessings and Happy Harvest Moon,

Angela

The post The time to reap the benefits of a fruitful harvest. appeared first on Angela Lenhardt.

I often share this particular story about one of the most difficult times in my life when I’m teaching a workshop or speaking at a live event. This experience isn’t something I’m proud of, but it was the catalyst that has landed me to where I am today—as a spiritual teacher, best-selling author, speaker and one of the happiest people I know. Looking back on this situation with the wisdom I’ve acquired since then, I could’ve handled this ordeal quite a bit differently—-and hindsight is always 20/20. So as my journey continues towards understanding how the spiritual laws of the Universe continue to govern our existence, I can honestly say that a Higher Power is generous when providing valuable experiences required to awaken our hearts, connect with our internal wisdom and heal our soul if we choose to do so.

———————————————————————

As long as you’re breathing, you’re perpetually learning, growing, healing and expanding into a deeper Consciousness.  Each path is unique— and within your personal journey into discovering who you are, your heart and soul will be provided with unwavering strength and the courage to live your highest expression when you fully allow Guidance to lead you on a moment to moment basis. Your life will either expand or contract based upon the consistency of your thoughts and the choices you’ll make. As a wise teacher once mentioned to me when I was seeking spiritual solutions amid utter confusion, “Take advice that works for you and leave the rest. This is your life.”

What’s your Story??

We all have a “story” and there is value in your story because your story has assembled the life you’re living today; whether it be good, bad or the ugly. So in relying my personal thoughts, and with the utmost respect and humility, “You may not have been dealt the ideal ‘hand of cards’ throughout your life, but you do get to choose how you wish to play them from this day forward.” You can either use your history as a stepping stone to cultivate your success or you can permit your past to greatly influence your relationships, your career and your overall state of emotional health and well-being. History has the tendency to repeat itself; and unless you take the time to reflect, contemplate and heal; yes heal THYSELF, chances are, you will unconsciously fall back into habitual patterns of self-sabotage. It’s one thing to become cognizant of your behaviors and it’s another to connect with the seat of your soul and heal your life. “To know yourself is to heal Thyself.”

My Story: It’s time to “wake up!”

As I was unconsciously moving through the motions of life; unbeknownst to me, the Universe had other plans….

“I was driven to the edge of self-destruction only to awaken to the realization that the key to happiness, peace and success exists in who I decide to become.”

For 3 1/2 years, I was in a relationship with someone who was my greatest teacher. I learned everything that I wanted within a partnership and everything I didn’t. And then the day came when my soul was sick and tired of being sick and tired, and my life warranted a Divine intervention.

No doubt about it, I was forced to confront mastering the lesson of “Letting Go”—of EVERYTHING. I had NO THING in the external world that proved I was or would be successful, ever again. My circumstances were: the loss of my business, my pets, (except Trigger, my horse) and my relationship–all of which died (literally and figuratively) within a few months of each other and I was forced to practice a central concept in the Buddhist philosophy known as detachment.

As I was getting into the bathtub one morning my eyes caught my body’s reflection in mirror….and I stopped. I hesitated because it dawned on me that the image I was witnessing felt as if I was looking at a complete stranger. That’s right. It was my face, but somehow, someway, I wondered “Who is that person?” It was apparent that I’d forgotten who I was, what I stood for and how to speak my truth until…..

While sitting in the tub I began to feel a roaring fire beginning to brew in the pit of my stomach. My gut was twisting and turning and within minutes I felt myself being launched out of the water. It felt as if I were being pushed and the words that I had suppressed for years required a voice. I was on a mission to say something, not knowing what, but found myself marching upstairs to have a conversation with my boyfriend (now my ex.) I looked at him and said, “I’m leaving.” Short and simple, right? And he replied, “Great. I’ll help you pack your bags.” (Please allow me to add, this “grand finale” happened after years of endless arguments, tears and heartache. We were both finally aware that our relationship wasn’t meant to “go the distance” and our time was up!)

With my car packed and $10 bucks to my name, I drove away from my house and thought to myself, “Where in the hell am I going to go now?” Sure, I could have chosen to make a few phone calls and ask for help from family and friends, but this time I needed to figure out these  “issues” on my own and refocus on my priorities; but first, re-identify what those were!

I was mad. Mad at myself. Mad at my partner, but more importantly, I was mad at God because I felt like He no longer loved me. I’m not going to lie. I threw a temper tantrum and began to cuss and swear like nobody’s business as I was driving towards the city park to pitch a tent and spend the night. Did this life altering choice mean I’d be living “homeless” for a day, a month or a year, perhaps? I didn’t know—- but I was willing to take my chances and pay the consequences.

As the reality of being “homeless” began to set in….

I started to cry uncontrollably…

I pulled my car over to the side of the road ..…

The tears continued…

And then…

The energy in the car began to change. It felt as if the world had stopped spinning. Perfect stillness. The “essence” was soothing, dense and extremely Present—and a sense of peace rushed over my entire body…

I re-started my car and proceeded to drive forward….

A few seconds later…

A powerful Force took control of my steering wheel….

And within minutes, I found myself parked in front of a house that looked familiar, but unsure of whose it was.…

I walked to the front door and knocked…

A woman answered. And to my surprise it was my very first client in my healing business who had always told me, “If I ever needed a place to hang my hat, I’d always be welcome in her home.”

So there I was, in her house, and beginning my life over again…(for the 3rd time)

Sitting in a room with two twin beds I began having a conversation with God. I asked, “What can I do to change my life?”

And these instructions were undeniably conveyed:

1. You are going to take total responsibly for healing yourself and your life.
2. You are going to make peace with your past. You are going to see everyone as your teacher    and consciously apply the wisdom you’ve gained from each experience.
3. You are going to be grateful for your life.
4. And then, you are going to write a book and share your experiences.

Ugh…right???

I replied, “I’ll do it, but I need proof that I’m actually on the ‘right’ path. So here’s my request:”

1.To have my book placed on the shelves in the local book stores and Mile Hi Church.
2. To be on the bestsellers list.
3. To get Dr. Wayne Dyer’s endorsement.

So from “this” place of total surrender and a willingness to listen and act, I was able to consciously rebuild my life from the ground -up and the inside- out.

Did the process of working on myself and writing a book happen overnight? Heck no! It was a course in demonstrating Love, compassion, forgiveness, and kindness to myself and others; and then I was given the opportunity to press the “RINSE & REPEAT” button and do it over again and again!

To this day, I’ve finally come to the understanding that the cycle of healing never ceases, but the process may become less arduous when putting your ego aside and allowing God to lead.

During my healing transformation, I spent a lot of time being alone and became discerning on how I shared my time and energy. I allowed myself to “work” through the myriad of emotions that demanded attention; and from that point I was made well aware that filling any void with a quick fix was nonsense.

I began to change my life through facing my fears and shedding the light on every single one of those suckers! It was no secret that the emotions hidden deep within my subconscious mind were keeping me distant from the “things” that I truly desired for myself—-happiness, peace and inner freedom. Truth be told, there wasn’t anything fun about confronting myself in the mirror, but since then, the rewards (internally & externally) have been priceless— AND my “3 goals” have been accomplished.

————————————————————-

So now, when a client comes into my office and says, “How do I change my life? My world is falling apart. My relationship is over. My business isn’t working,” whatever their story is— my response is, “Great. You are finally at a place in your life when you’re willing to listen to the sacred voice within your soul and honor yourself. Let’s get to work on healing YOU!”

So if you shall ever find yourself in the place of feeling “stuck” and/or hopeless and without a clue on where to begin, remember ….

We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.” ~ Albert Einstein

Stop. Chill out. Command your mind to be silent. Breathe. It’s nearly impossible to hear Wisdom in the midst of chaos. And then…from a “space of calm,” ask for Guidance.

Trust that the Light will shine upon your next step…..

Be willing to take the next step…..

Namaste,

Angela:)

P.S. My new goals: (And being flexible with how I achieve them:))

1. Publish children’s books: #TriggerTails …
2. Complete my 2nd “inspirational” book…
3. Continue to feel GOOD and BE Happy!!

BTW….Did I mention I want to meet Oprah, also!!???

The post The “To-do” List–The 4 Steps that Transformed my Life appeared first on Angela Lenhardt.

The question is–> “How do you write a book?”

So here it is! I’m giving you everything that I know about this subject… Which isn’t much. So this post will be short and sweet! Writing a book is clearly not my forte but I figured out how to get it done… The hard way!!! (PS.. I’m not recommending this approach 110%)

But this is how I did it….

Step 1. One day I sat down, opened up my laptop and began typing…knowing that I was NOT going to stop until I was done. I refused to let myself “off the hook.” I held myself accountable, everyday.

Step 2. When I was finished writing the entire manuscript, I prayed about it, and asked God what to do next. And one night, I got out of bed at 3am and googled various words; including the word “editor.” And on page 5 of Google, I found someone who appeared as if he could help me…sent him an email…..and we were a match!!

Step 3. Found my cover designer on Craig’s list… (I prayed about it first, tho)

Step 4. Found a local publisher who put all of the “moving parts” together for me.

Step 5. Done! I’m off and running

That’s it!! Like I mentioned earlier, how I completed this project was definitely not the “norm” and possibly not for everyone. You will figure out which way works best for you

In addition, if you’re mission is to write your first book, my advice would be to seek out a “writer’s coach” and follow a structured path. If they have a proven, successful track record, there is something to be said for that… Listening is good!

And finally …. Everyday, someone asks me how I got Dr. Wayne Dyer’s endorsement….

And my answer is quite simple. I prayed about it. The wisdom came to me on how to find his address, what to say, and what color of envelope to send it in… And when I dropped my book off at the post office it, I detached from the entire process. And two weeks later, I received an email from Dr. Dyer along with his endorsement, and he told me that when he came to Denver he wanted to meet me in person. That’s it!!!! This “entire thing” was Divinely guided. And it wasn’t because I knew someone who knew someone, or I bought my way “there”.

I hope this post was inspiring and maybe even motivated you to “do whatcha gotta do” to make yourself happy.

Namaste

“My Daily MOJO”

Before I get out of bed in the morning, I do my best to remember to say, “God, please show me how/where you want me to be of service today”…and then I listen, and pay attention to where I’m being directed.   No matter what, I trust that I’ll be guided throughout the day. I also know, from personal experience, that whatever or whoever “shows up” is a reflection of me. And the Universe never ceases to amaze me.

—————————————————————————–

A few days ago, I walked into a coffee shop to eat, drink and write; and randomly sat next to a gentleman who was preparing for a job interview. We struck up a conversation and I began asking him questions that his future employer may ask, such as: “What can you do for me? What are your skill sets? Why should I hire you?”  I also mentioned that when he walks into his interview he needs to be confident and “KNOW his $h%T!!”  Own it!!  And try not to come from a place of ego and entitlement. To be driven by his soul and being of service to others. And through setting this intention, doors may open unlike anything his mind could have ever imagined.”  He replied, “Yes, ma’am” and gave me a big hug. I, then, ended the conversation with, “Be yourself and whatever happens, happens,” and walked out…

So today, I walked into a different coffee shop –and who was sitting there??? Yep! You guessed it! The same dude I met two days prior!! (I know…do- do- do- do.) I approached him to ask if he had gotten the job. He looked down, “Nope. They didn’t hire me. I have every qualification. I have the experience. They need to hire 75 people. I’m a hard worker. I love people. I just don’t understand what I did wrong. I needed this job so badly.”  And then he began going into his “story” of why he didn’t get the job and started coming up with reasons why they didn’t hire him.

And then these words fell out of my mouth. (I couldn’t help myself.)

I said, “Whoa. Whoa. Whoa.  If you are going to make up a story about why you didn’t get the position, it needs to sound a helluva lot better than the one I’m hearing right now! The truth is is that the “perfect” situation will come along at the right time. God didn’t want you to have that job or you would have gotten it!   And maybe, just maybe, He has something better in store for you. More money. Better work environment, etc.  And besides, this situation may be your lesson in patience—and a negative attitude isn’t going to get you anywhere.” He sat down and replied, “You’re right. God has a bigger, better plan for me.  I’m going to trust in that. “OK good”, I said.  And then I continued to spill coffee all over the table… (yeah, that was awesome)

One minute later (and I’m not exaggerating) his phone rang. It was someone he’d interviewed with over a month ago and they had finally gotten around to calling him to say, “He made the cut. He got the job!” I could barely believe my ears either, and yes, I was listening.

He got off the phone, looked at me and said, “They want me to be there at 11am today. This is unbelievable. I have no words. This is my dream job!” And I said, “Yep. There are no words. So count your blessings and get your butt there on time. “ I was so happy for him that I began crying!!

He asked, “Before I go, can we say a prayer together?” I said, “Absolutely! I’ll take every prayer that I can get!”

It was truly one of those experiences that I’ll never forget. This situation added more validation on how the unexpected can “show up” when you’re open to infinite possibilities and can get out of your own way. Fun stuff!! Namaste
