WHAT TO DO IN CASE YOU GET SHOVED:

The universe, I was recently told, sometimes makes things happen in a way that we find ourselves being propelled forward, an unknown force pushes us to move forward, you have only in that direction to go. the unknown can come in the form of anything, i.e. break-up, firing,..and  I believe it. Last Thursday on my lunch break, my little red convertible suffered pain, trauma and visibly much more damage than the  large white SUV with only a tiny red scratch on the front bummer and a woman driver, obviously also on her lunch break, who’s only statement to me as she approached my car my was, “Why didn’t you go!” and turned to a friend and said “can you believe this? She stopped…
”Um, yeah there was a car coming, I was protecting ME lady, and no, it's not okay that I’m not hurt and you didn't even care if I was or not"…was what I was saying, on the inside, instead I rolled the window up and thanked God for dark tints.

A good friend gives the example of just how polite the English are in general as a culture. They are capable of being so polite a foot stepping situation might go like this:

“Excuse me? I hope I am not troubling you too much but it seems as if my foot some how got stuck underneath your foot. I do say, would you mind greatly if I asked if I might trouble you in allowing me remove my foot from under yours?” That white SUV Lady obvious wasn’t English.

Bless each day for the health we have. If you are ill, bless each day for the health you DO have. Bless each day for our children’s health.....

The discomfort is there, tolerable and also much less tolerable at times. What can I do? Follow the suggestions of my doctor, succumb to the medical process of x-rays, physical therapy and such? Well, I do have pain so yes, I will obey. What hurts the most is called the ego’s bragging rights to say I did yoga for 40 days straight I stuck to it created a discipline like that instead I was stopped due to the rear-ending at day 31. Or was I shoved forward? 

Time to  start over DAY 1, and it’s all good help me heal quicker and keep my focused on the action and not the outcome or final goal per say, this stays on the to do list because it is healthy and good for this body which I will now pay better attention to, slowly but playfully – the cycle runs on sunshine and smiles, basically in a nutshell, it really does.

Treat yourself well, every day, always.

I have a new friend who also comes to me regularly for Reiki healings. I love to see the smile on his face when he leaves after an hour because his smile shows he's feeling better and also because he has no idea of how much he has helped me heal. People come into our lives for reasons, we’ve picked which ones we have choose to learn from and in this case I’ll say it was all because of the B’klyn connection that he and I share.  So, I get to laugh a lot and hear the accent of my childhood I no longer “tawlk like that” but it’s some how comforting to hear again. Plus it’s the shoe-tying/Jewish/NY theme that runs through my life that I figured out watching how he puts and ties his laces- total running time about 6-10 min depending on the day. How ever long he demandingly takes to do it on his own is an opportunity to stop and be grateful for my healthy legs and the comforts we take for granted while someone else struggles and for his friendship for allowing me feel compassion.
OR, Maybe..... I’m meant to be like the next Christian Louboutin but with a purpose…simplify life's design create the new life style slip-on shoe! NY’ers LOVE them and Paris tolerates them…WOW “Hhhmmm, Bonjour Monsieur Louboutin, bonjour Monsieur, je suis Amerianne, J’dore Paris, comfort, style, your brand and the idea of luxury for all...imagine the world wide impact? call me, s.v.p., we should tawlk, eh oui?”
