The Universe Answers

It is truly amazing to me how the universe answers my prayers. When I posted "A Test of Faith" it had been over two months since I had had anything to say, and I was feeling so dejected and upset at the lack of progress I was making. I had been posting my new blog entries on my Facebook page in the hopes that that would help me get my message out and I had sent out the other e-mail. I had been talking to people about the book, but I was getting nowhere.

However twenty-four hours after posting "A Test of Faith" to my Facebook status I received two responses. One was from a woman who told me her aunt had a great story but wasn’t sure she would be willing to share it. The other from a woman who had read my blog and was so touched by it that she felt she had to contact me. And I am so grateful she did. She has one of the most beautiful fairy tale love stories I have heard.

Her response has again restored my faith that this journey has purpose and I am not just wasting my time. Ask and you shall receive. These words could not be truer than at this moment.

A year ago I was sitting in the bedroom at my friend Erica’s house. We were both beginning new journeys in our lives. Both standing at the edge of a cliff, ready and willing to jump off in pursuit of our goals. We looked at the time and the date. It was three-eleven pm on March eleventh. We made a pact that day to chase our respective dreams and see where we were exactly a year from that day. Had we accomplished anything? Were we closer to the end? Was it worth it? Or would it be, perhaps, time to move on?

I can honestly tell you that if you had asked me a few months ago if it was worth continuing, I would not have been entirely sure. I was hanging on by a thread. My wall was so high at that point I couldn’t even see the top and there was absolutely no hint that my staircase was ever going to appear. But now, on the cusp of that anniversary, I am charging full speed ahead. I am full of energy and hope again, and inspiration is flowing out of my pores. In the last few days I have made so much progress that I have not only scaled my wall, but I have left it far behind.
