Often when I have a lot of things to figure out, or I feel as though I don’t know exactly how something is going to work out I remember my simple motto: the mysterious is full of hope and promise. Time and again in my life I’ve seen that just because you don’t know how something is going to work out, doesn’t mean it’s not going to. So instead of getting anxious about the fact that I don’t know how something is going to pan out, I remember instead how many times in my life things have worked out better than I could have ever imagined. In many cases boons in which I hadn’t even thought of were part of the deal. Take my husband for instance. There are hundreds of things that I love about him which I won’t go into, but one of which I will.
He’s a nester. We live in a house that he bought 12 years before we even met. When he bought this house and started making it the home we enjoy today, I was living in a hut in Senegal in the Peace Corps. He spent years making it beautiful and soulful, all while I was off doing other things. My man is the kind of person that does house and yard projects for fun. If he had his druthers he would putz around the house and yard all day every day making cool things and spaces.
Thanks to him we have a spectacular garden, a beautifully landscaped yard, a scrumptious outdoor tub, a green house, a waterfall, a pond, nice shelves in our laundry room, pull out drawers in our cupboards, cool drying racks by our fireplace… I could go on and on.
Of course when I told the Universe I was looking for a true partner for me—someone who understood and valued me, and someone with whom I could have fun with and laugh often and easily—I didn’t even mention that I would like a super comfortable home filled with spirit and soul, and someone who cared about making it nice for us and our family. I wasn’t even thinking of that. But let me tell you, it suits me JUST FINE!
My point is this: on many many many occasions I have been surprised at the beautiful things the Universe has offered me—boons beyond my wildest imagination. I remember this when I come to a place in my life when I am not sure how things are going to work out. When I am making decisions about my career for example, or looking for the next best way to do something. I take heart knowing that time and time again, the unknown has brought me beautiful and luscious things that were far beyond my limited scope or vision. The unknown is not scary, rather, it’s full of rich promise and infinite possibility—you can count on it, I do.
