It’s A Wonderful Life
My Dear Friends,
I’ve had an amazing day. Everyone is fine, but there was a major fire in my apt. building this morning. Thankfully no one was injured. I was downtown at a BNI (networking) group meeting and at 10am I got an hysterical call from my neighbor saying that our building was on fire. She was calling from the fire escape. I asked if she’d been able to check on my dogs and cats since she has keys to my place, but she couldn’t get to them to find out. So I had this spit second thought, “Is this where I get hysterical and faint?” or do I notice the truth…that I feel centered and focused? I went with the latter, got in a cab and was home in no time. That is NOT not the way I used to react in stressful situations. I’ve been known to be quite the drama queen about smaller events in the past. But I was alert, effective and did what needed to be done. And, I didn’t say to myself “Alright…BE CALM”… I just was. That is miraculous. That ole’ Transformation just snuck right up on me. What a gift!
We are all relieved that no one was hurt. I was happy to see my pets. We have no roof on 1/3 of the building and 8 apartments are uninhabitable, but he city has gotten shelter for the 8 families and I can hear them hammering in a temporary roof as I write this.
Thank you, Ariel and Shya , for introducing me to a new possibility and a new freedom. I had no idea life could be so rich. I am grateful I found Transformation and this beautiful community.
Much Love,
Susan
