Many Blessings

For many years, I tried to "count my blessings" on a regular basis, yet I encountered some problems. I knew that if I was going to receive in life, I had to be grateful for what I already had. For the most part I was, but one of the joys in life that eluded me was finding my true soulmate. My dialogue with the Universe would go something like this- "Thanks for the great vacation to Europe, but what about my Soulmate?" "Thanks for the great new job, but where is he?" "Thanks for the awesome friends, but isn't it about time for me to be with my man?" You get the picture. So, I would date and have boyfriends expecting to find the "one", yet these relationships never felt right to me. What was going on? Didn't I deserve what I yearned for?

Then one day I threw a temper tantrum. Yes, a temper tantrum! I had been practicing the Universal Laws of Co-creation and he still wasn't showing up. So, I thought a good old fashioned, childish temper- tantrum would make me feel better. At the end, I was tired but a sense of peace slowly started to wash over me. It was then that I decided that Universe would have to take over, I was done. I was sick of feeling the struggle in my love life. I resigned myself to the fact that this person would show up when it was right and it may not be until I am an old woman. My focus now would be finding ways to enjoy my life everyday, without focusing on the lack in my life. I deserved a beautiful life, and I would start acknowledging all the beauty that showed up for me. Yes, I would be counting my blessings without a "but" added.

Just months after my epiphany, I met my soulmate. Todd and I were introduced while I was on a visit in San Diego. I immediately felt wonderful around him and things felt right. The Universe had been conducting things behind the scenes for a long time, but waiting for divine timing. The reason I was not finding my soulmate in Chicago, was because he was in California!

I learned that the Universe may not be working on my schedule, but the blessings are always showing up or in motion. In claiming your own blessedness, you can see the blessings all around you. It is important to live in awareness and pay attention to all that we already have and receive gratefully what is offered to us.
