Thanks, tina. I, too, have found the power of my spirituality in little ways. But those little ways are so profound!
I find when something is upsetting me or I am feeling stuck, I pray about it. Praying allows me to let go of it, while setting back from it, which calms me down, releases my emotions, and gives me a more objective view. I still struggle with some of the spirituality stuff...but I've been doing this long enough to know that it works.
I am wondering if your HP thought you needed some perseverance last night, as well? You went to great lengths to make that meeting! I might have given up at the 'no gas and no card' point and gone home.
