Today I am in good spirits. I feel at peace with where I am. I know God has more to do with this than anything else BUT every now and then you meet a person who can give you insight, a kind word, a hard edged when needed and a wicked streak of humor. I have been so blessed to know this person and can call on her during any crisis, joy or mind numbing anger.
I know many of you understand and many of you don’t. I speak of a person who knows all and still gives me her unconditional friendship. I call her angelic for she is truly a spiritually and compassionate soul. My friend would argue with great vehemence but it is still so very true. As I journey through my dark night of the soul she stands ready with advice, wise silence and Ben and Jerry’s (yes the last is a girl thing).
Her advice? Sounds like you need to cleanse. We are both practicing Christians BUT we both have a very strong belief that some how all the world is connected. She is the person who helped me cleanse my house with white sage and seal it with sweet grass. She is the person who was with me when all hope was lost in my life. My family was in chaos, my job non-existent and my life in serious peril. She some how gave me the energy to keep moving forward. I am not sure how but it is a debt that I will never be able to repay.
Today for the first time in many moons I felt as if I could find my way... her insight her intuitiveness... has aided in the first steps of my journey… out of this abyss that I call my faith.
Before you think that my friend is perfect she is not. She does enjoy a vodka-based beverage for medicinal purposes only. She also fights daily with the need for the perfect 10 body (okay maybe she would be happy with an 8). Life gets in the way of what she enjoys doing. She says really inappropriate things during church service that makes me laugh and also wonder does God really do that lightning bolt thing? So far so good but you never know.
The reason I write this is so that she will know how highly I think of her. How much I appreciate her wit. To know that there are things that are plain wrong and that she hasn’t a clue as to what is going on either. To know that she laughs as much as I do when we are out and about and someone calls us girls (yes those days are long since over). To know that the disappointments I suffer will never be alone.
So here is to you! Cheers! Shalom! God Bless! From your renewed friend who has followed your advice:
I have burned white sage and sweet grass for my spirit.
I have cleansed my charkas with intensity.
I have continued in the never ending less then fun task of working out.
I have learned that I have a big girl job with a big girl desk and I have pulled up my big girl panties and am dealing with it.
I know that if a man is involved just run because it is going to odd, difficult or just F#*&$(% bizarre.
Pray, pray and pray again. Did she mention prayer? I am praying… Always…
All in all to use a line from a musical “now there’s an upright broad” I think that covers it!
Did I mention that she makes the best icing on the planet?
