how i met MaryElizabeth

Mary Elizabeth was waiting for me and i did not know it until my

spirit guide pushed me towards our relationship.

I finished massage school in 2003, and began looking for an office space i could afford plus a part time job to support my 'healing habit'.

I had asked God for a space to rent for a really minimal rate ~ i was very specific about the amount because i had no money. The next day i went to interview for a couple of jobs and driving home on I30 i felt an irresistable nudge to 'get off the freeway'. It was not a voice voice but more of a feeling voice.

I have learned to follow those nudges so i wondered 'where do i get off?' OAKLAND & I 30 was the answer. Now, i had seen the office/school complex called CCL in passing but was unaware of what it held. I had even on occasion thought of going in just to see what it was.

But that day in October i HAD to go...the nudging spirit was pull-pushing me and i had no idea whether i was looking there for work or an office or both or something else.

So i park and go into the office building and stand there looking at the receptionist waiting for words. They did not come - not clearly anyhow.

We looked at each other and finally i blurted out 'i am looking for work'. She said 'we don't have any openings that i know of right now'. I stood there - spirit had not failed me yet. Then i told her part of my story - of how i graduated as an LMT and needed an office, etc. She said oh well we have a massage therapist here.

That was it - the impetus for my words. I asked if she thought the LMT would want to share her office. And her response was well we can see. She called upstairs and i stood watching for who might be coming down. Of course it was Mary Elizabeth! When we saw one another it like " oh well there you are"...like i had been looking for her while she waited for me.

Sounds like a love story huh? It is. It is about the real, deep connection that one can not force but just happens and grows deeper as time goes on. And i do love you MELH!!!

So i told her what i needed and she said she had had several requests before of folks wanting to share her space but it had not felt right. She said this feels right. I told her how i got there and she understood! I asked how much my portion would be in rent - it was only $10 above the amount i had prayed for the night before!

We decided in that moment that this would be a great collaboration and that was pretty much that. We did get a little reality [physical world type] check from ME's hubby. He thought it would be good to do a background check and tell the owners of the place what we intended and maybe a contract...so we agreed that before getting me a key and setting up a sharing schedule ME would do those things that DH suggested.

It was a great little room with so much warm, receiving/giving energy. I loved it there and stayed for a couple of years. And my clients often commented on how the building itself was not much to write home about but once they entered our space in that office it totally changed and they loved being there [almost as much as i did ;)0 ].

I had never guessed from driving past CCL that it would give me what i sought.

I suppose the point of this post is simply to follow your intuition. When spirit speaks be sure to listen. If you close your heart to those whispered nudges you may miss the time of your life. It is up to you to be present enough and open enough to go where God leads and to find there what you need.

The Stones said it well : "...you can't always get what you WANT, but, if you try sometime, you just might find you get what you NEED!"
