for several here: new jobs, positive developments. I am SO very happy for you all -- and for those still waiting, I wish you everything you wish for yourselves.
:grouphug:
I have good news, too! :)
Mark did indeed get the job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Aho!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: (where's my dancing banana when I need him? lol)
That's huge. So huge that we can hardly wrap our brains around it, to be honest.
But then another really cool thing happened that I know you all will appreciate.
So, you know about Wishadoo. Unfortunately we are STILL waiting for the programmer to fix several things before I shout from the rooftops for everyone to please come on in; but, Ayesha, Arkansas IS finally fixed. :)
In testing out the posting feature until we get admin control and can feel comfortable announcing to the world, I posted something that I genuinely wanted to call forth. It was a test post, but with a genuine intent.
I asked for free chiropractic and/or massage sessions. I've worked 80 hours a week for 15 years, the vast majority of the time at a computer, and lately my neck has gotten really bad, so much so that I have to lie on an ice pack to get to sleep, then use a heating pad as soon as I get up. Joy, joy. (I am taking Epsom salt baths lately)
Anyway, I posted that as a test for the list feature, with no expectation whatsoever. I mean, no one is really using it yet.
Yesterday I got what I thought was junk mail, including one from a local spa, whose radio ads sound GLORIOUS. But I thought, "Great another ad just to tease me" and nearly tossed it out, but something made me open it.
Lo and behold, it was a GIFT CERTIFICATE to me, from someone I haven't talked to in ages...someone who had received some abundance and "wanted to do something nice for someone who works nonstop."
I burst into tears. The generosity overwhelmed me, especially the unexpected nature of it...no occasion...just a simple, delightful gift for which I am profoundly grateful.
She doesn't even know about Wishadoo and didn't see that I had listed something there, but I put it out there into the Universe, and it did indeed manifest. Rather quickly! :)
So, I get to have a full one-hour massage very soon. This learning to receive thing...without feeling that something is expected of me in return...is a real challenge for me, I must admit, but I knew something would happen to kind of test me out in this regard, since that is indeed what Wishadoo is all about: giving and receiving, paying it forward...with no expectation...simply an open heart.
(pssssttttt...I'm starting to think it's a magickal portal of some sort...lol)
Thanks for reading and allowing me to share.
