End of the Rainbow

Yesterday I was literally at the end of the rainbow! It was a pretty magical day all in all.

I earn my living as a freelance tech writer and in this economy my business has done dried up! With tech writers being laid off left and right (always among the first), I have little hope of finding a job. No work, no income. On top of it, yesterday I received an email from my local chapter of our field’s professional association saying that the entire profession is basically going down the tubes! Oy! It’s bit of a scary time and I’m not doing well with the fear.

So, I’m re-evaluating. My passion in life is, as you may have gathered, connecting women and serving the Sacred Feminine. I love to facilitate circles (circle discussions)! But I keep telling myself that I can’t make money doing it. However, yesterday morning while making a cup of tea, I had one of those realizations of the obvious: I just need to claim that I can make money doing it. Metaphysics, positive thinking, Law of Attraction, all that business. So I claimed it. I declared aloud “I want to make money facilitating circles! I can make money facilitating circles! I am making money facilitating circles!” This is my mantra from now on. And, as we know of the Law of Attraction, I don’t have to know how it will happen; just that it will. I need to vibrate at the frequency of joy and faith that attracts it. As Mike Dooley from The Secret humorously puts it, I don’t have to know the cursed “hows!” I finally understood it at a heart level. Magical happening #1.

After this epiphany and thoughts on the Law of Attraction, I went to the used bookstore to trade some books and ran across the Abraham-Hicks book The Law of Attraction, for 6 bucks no less! Magical happening #2. I also found at the same lovely low price four other spiritual books I had read but didn’t own and wanted—even a Real Love book with my friend Star’s name in it! (I hold a Real Love group in my home.) Magical happening #3. It gets even better--at the register, all the books rang up not at $6, but at either $1.99 or $2.99! Magical happening #4.

When I left the store, the sun was shining for the first time all day and a light, soft sprinkle of rain was falling in the sunlight. An unusual but lovely thing to see. As I started to get in my car, suddenly the most perfect, full semi-circle, vividly colored rainbow appeared in the sky over the book store. It was magnificence across the sky! As my eyes traveled the rainbow to its closest end, I realized it was descending right there in the parking lot! The rainbow was actually landing between the store and where I stood, about 30 feet from me! When I looked back at the store, I saw it through transparent colors—the colors of the rainbow! I was literally at the end of the rainbow! I’ve never seen the end of a rainbow before. I was awed, dumbstruck! And imagine, this was happening immediately after buying The Law of Attraction, and after having made my declaration of abundance that morning. Wow! My next thought was the cosmos heard me! Thank you Spirit! Thank you for this magical, beautiful gift of confirmation! Magical happening #5.

I eventually got back in the car but did not leave until the rainbow dissipated. (Today I’m wondering why I didn’t walk over and stand in the rainbow, duh!) Once in the car, I called my friend Cheryl to share the magic. She didn't seem impressed. Her usual enthusiasm seemed lacking; in fact, she sounded distressed. It turns out she had just closed the door on a very upsetting exchange with a handyman. She told me my timing couldn’t have been better—she needed to hear a friend’s voice. Magical happening #6.

Do you know what the number six symbolizes in numerology? Balance, peace, beauty, and harmony. Loving family and where you are. It means being protective, conscientious, compassionate, and wanting to help family, community, the world at large. Six can also represent a flowing and cycles. Very appropriate and auspicious, don’t you think?

What a magical day! I am so blessed! I now can release my fear and hold faith. I know that love, prosperity, and all good things have already arrived in my life—and in yours. Thank you Spirit! I offer my gratitude to All That Is!

Too bad I didn’t think to take a photo of the rainbow or bring Larabee and her magic-capturing camera along!

Note:
Magic Happening #7. Two days after posting this, astonishingly, I received an email from the executive director of the Society for Technical Communication. Somehow my little blog had come to her attention! (And not in a positive way, I should add.) She warmly requested a copy of the email I mention in the first paragraph above, as she had no record of STC sending an email claiming the profession is going down the tubes. I clarified that the email came from the local chapter and forwarded the requested copy. And, as you can see, I reworded said paragraph to more accurately reflect this. Who would have guessed? Now I'm truly convinced the Internet is making the world a smaller place!
