Dodging what's not for you...

I guess I was protected from something I couldn't even see.

Sending you Good Vibes and Energy for protection.

May you be held in lovingkindness,
May you be protected,
May you have a sound heart and mind,
May you live, work and create with peace and ease!


Sometimes I feel like I get or have gotten passed on, overlooked or not considered for things that would be a great fit for my goals and intentions and that I often am over-qualified for. But did I actually get passed on or overlooked or was I actually being protected?

Over the weekend, which actually was a really good one for me, I got triggered. I got triggered searching online for an event. I was searching for coverage of an event that I thought I would be a participant and an integral part of. It was a big thing(or so I thought). As I found coverage of the event, I found myself slipping to a place of disappointment. A place of being upset. A place where I started to ruminate. I found myself being upset with myself, upset with the people and company that were involved in this event(which I knew) that I felt ghosted by and didn’t get back to me. I found myself upset with all of that and upset that what I thought was a lay-up of an opportunity for me to come in and work together that didn’t end up happening.

I was really in my feelings, questioning and over-evaluating something that didn’t need to even be deeply evaluated. I wasn’t paying attention and didn’t trust and let myself know that what is for me, is actually FOR ME.
