HOW HYPERTENSION
Saved My Life AND TAUGHT ME TROUBLE CAN TURN INTO TREASURE July 1, 2014 - The Trouble: Really, God? Really? It’s 12 noon, and my legs are folded in an armchair in the basement of a friend’s home in Wisconsin. It isn’t my home. My financial rug is gone, and although I knew that this huge change was coming, I couldn’t bring myself to accept it. Today, I am in so much physical and emotional pain that all I can do is sit and cry. I’m worried that my blood pressure won’t come down. My plan didn’t work out. I am not going to be where I thought I would be for the rest of my life. Except for a couple of suitcases and some books and CD’s, everything I own that I didn’t give away to friends and Goodwill; or leave by the garbage containers in the alley, is now boxed up in storage. I feel like I have failed. Again!
July 1, 2017 - The Turning Point: Okay God, I surrender! For real this time! It’s 12 noon, and I’m about to jump into my car, put pedal to the metal, and cruise on down the highway from the Midwest to the Southwest. I now understand that there’s no going back. Thank God, my blood pressure is now running normal. I have no idea when or where I’ll have a financial rug again, but I’ve made a deeper commitment to myself, my God and the Universe to put my physical and emotional health and wellbeing first. I am now completely open to learning how to be in alignment with God’s plan for me. I feel a combination of excitement, grief, and the joy of freedom. Like never before!
July 1, 2021 - The Treasure: Thank you, God! I love my life and am open to receive! It’s 12 noon, and I’m lounging in my beach chair on Zuma Beach in Malibu County, California. It’s a weekday, and the temperature is 75 degrees and sunny. I have been provided with a financial rug and home of my own, as well as a place to do my spiritual healing work. My experience of success is not just financial and material. My physical health and emotional wellbeing are better than ever. My blood pressure is better than normal. Also, I’m collaborating easily and effortlessly with very talented people who are also committed to a healthy and abundant lifestyle. I now truly understand the importance of trusting the higher process and journey to authentic success. I am beyond grateful!
