Serendipity

In The Artist's Way (my bible, as you know by now if you've been reading for a while), the author, Julia Cameron, talks about the importance of knowing what you want. Once you can name it for yourself, the universe can respond.

With that in mind, I present: my week.

Me: "I should really be blogging more. It feels so good when I'm posting regularly. It keeps me focused on creative living and gives me energy and I like it." [Further reflection.] "Maybe I avoid it because it makes me happy, and I'm doing that dumb human thing of not doing the thing that makes me happy even when it's right in front of me."

[Next morning. Phone rings]

Kimberly, over at Hip Tranquil Chick: "Do you want to guest blog for me next week?"
Me: "Yes! Yes I do."

[Time passes]
[Phone rings]

Client: "...oh yeah, and we're looking for someone to write this blog..."
Me: "Um, I would really like to do that."
Client: "Great, I think you'd be really good at it. Call [so and so] and tell her I recommended you."
