Last few years have been pretty epic...
I found myself working at a local restaurant, Within a week we had to shutdown the inside of the store. I was worried I'd be out of a job again, I heard someone say very early on, the world will never go "back to normal". This was all I needed to hear, knowing as an SS that things aren't normal to begin with, he was right. Things will never go back to "normal".
I thought how my people around the world were struggling to work and feed themselves, basic necessities. I became determined to show up to work everyday, I was sure that my work was making a difference. Healthy and delicious food could make anyone smile <3 Seeing the smiling families and community, they were my secret power ;P
I worked there for over a year and put in additional hours almost everyday, I had the opportunity to live in a home.. to have a room, a bed... I spent everyday with my beloved cat and she became my best friend. Sadly, we could no longer afford our home, and I needed greater privacy for my meditations.
I left my home a couple months ago, I have a new new job, highest paying job yet, very easy work, but also very rewarding working in the community. For the first time I am finally renting a private room, my goal for many years now was to have a private place to meditate. And finally I am here!!
I have a private room! And it is my turn to truly reach into the depths of meditation and may I bring greater light within my community.
Strength is not just the ability to overcome something by yourself, we are Stronger because we can ask our family for help.
