It is time to REST.

"Surrender to the signs from the Universe and the answers will come"
​~Giuliana

It was a beautiful frosty friday, November the 6th.  I was busily packing to go to the WRITE BY THE SEA retreat that I had been planning and working towards for the past few months.  I was arranging my clothes into piles of what I was going to wear on what day when I realized, I had to fill the two purses I had for purses of hope.  I had items in my car that I had purchased and thought I had best do it before I forgot.  I was still in pyjamas and had flip flops on.  I grabbed my keys and rushed out the back door.  The steps were frosty and I had a premonition I was going to fall.  It was very surreal actually.  I only have 2 steps off my back deck but when I went to step out my foot slipped off the step and I landed smack on my back onto both steps.... I was in pain and I could feel I was going to faint.  I saw that the neighbour had his garage door open and for a split second I wanted to scream but didn't.  The reason I didn't was because I thought to myself.. my over 200 pounds would hurt his already bad back.  I prayed to God for me not to faint outside.  I somehow picked myself up and got into the house.  I grabbed an orange juice box from the fridge and made my way to the lazy chair.  There everything was getting black again. I prayed "please God don't let me faint".  I returned to consciousness and called Paulo sr who ran home to check on me.  I also had a text from my neighbour who ran over with Arnica tablets, a potion from Sedona and some other pain remedies.  I am so blessed.  As a result of the fall and after speaking with my mother and my dr, I decided to stay home from my Miami trip.  I am devastated.  I have to surrender to God that He has another plan in store.  I am sad and processing through it.  I would like to thank Connie Gorrell for her support in encouraging me to come to this retreat.  I feel the loss.  I hope to be able to make it next year.
Sometimes you just have to breathe and know "all is well."  

The Fall has made me rethink the way I am doing things.  I am taking time to rest, regroup, recharge, rejuvenate and relax.  I will come back stronger.  I have had a busy year.  Through it all I count all my blessings.
I know how loved I am.  I am a beautiful daughter of God and He has me in His Hands.  I await His guidance with so much excitement... ...
