Blessings

Blessings are something you can ask for, bestow upon others or even yourself. What I learned recently is that when you enter a place, you are bringing your blessings with you and can spread them around. At work, we can do that, too. It will affect co-workers and even customers, depending on where you are employed.

The attitudes we convey can also affect how broad our blessings reach. Some days, the blessings we give can be affected by the blessings we receive, too. Sometimes, those blessings can feel stingy; other days, abundant. Blessings can come in the form of acknowledgement. Recently, my boss told me I was very appreciated and invaluable to the company. I have never heard that before; I shed a tear.

Blessings are not on an equal exchange. It works better when it is shared forward and backward. There are times when we will be greatly blessed and other times it will be less. When that occurs, we can still be in gratitude for what we have today and what we have received. Our blessings can leaving a lasting impression on those we meet and serve.

When I went back to the job that was over, my friend suggested I “kick the dust” off my shoes as I left to leave it behind and to signal to the universe I was moving on. I did, knocking my shoes against the stoop. It was interesting that after doing that, the universe has been blessing me with opportunities to move forward into my own business. It is so cool! The support I have been given, blessings really, have been heart-warming. And she pointed out, when I left I took my blessings with me. That means I will be sharing them with others as I go along my new way.

Spread those seeds of blessings freely.
