Thanks for the uplifting and heartfelt comments. I appreciate you taking time out of your busy schedule and dropping a note to let me know your thoughts. It is comments like yours that tell me I need to keep up with my blog. I’ve not been writing as regularly as I used to but I have another post coming soon, particularly about my experience with the university’s visitor’s weekend that I had gone to a few weeks ago.

What an experience you had and absolutely agreed “when one door closes, another one opens”, this is always the way. You mention having faith and the spirit leading you – Oh boy, I know what you mean. Its funny, when one path seems to be where we are and then another springs up and knocks off that path. It happens all the time but you got it right – never give up, have faith and that feeling you had about thinking maybe you gave up too soon will be resolved, a final answer will come.

You’re such a wonderful writer and I really enjoy your blog.

May you be blessed.

Thank you for stopping by and telling me this. I’ve been writing less and less this year but a lot of people keep telling me not to stop because they enjoy my writing style and then visitors like you stop in to remind me to continue my work here.

So, I appreciate you taking time out of your day to share your thoughts with me. Thanks!

I’ve followed your blog for few months — intermittently. The content and the hope you generate through these writings is unparalleled.

I hope and keep working on the mantra that courage and persistence would fetch results. They may not always be what I want. Nevertheless, I may become a better person for having tried. Don’t really know how to thank you & other folks who feature here enough.

THANKS a lot !

Hey there Tim, thanks for stopping in and sharing your thoughts about this story. I’m with you about how scary it can be to try and find a new job in this economy but one thing I’m learning right now is that it really doesn’t matter what’s happening in the “outer” world if you’re in a state of mind where you truly believe you’ll be led by Spirit to where you need to be. Like you mention, there are fantastic opportunities out there even as the economy continues to tank. We just need to be open to them.

I will definitely keep everyone informed about what happens with this new journey I’m taking. My next blog post will be an update about the visit to Maharishi University in Iowa complete with photos. I’m looking forward to seeing what happens because I didn’t expect to be given a travel scholarship to visit their school! Now I can’t wait to see what other surprises the universe has up its sleeve!

Wow, what an interesting story! It is funny you should mention the “when one door closes, another door opens” statement. I said it last week in front of stunned co-workers as 20% of our staff got laid off. My colleagues stood around my cubicle stunned, staring at me (and my cube-mate who was also let go), not knowing what to say. Having been laid off three times now and somewhat frustrated with my job there I said something I truly believe, “when one door closes, another door opens.”

I am pretty scared about job hunting in this economy, but more scared as I try to figure out my next move. I am considering a career change, which at 40 seems difficult. But I am also excited, for the fantastic possibilities out there. Nonetheless, I enjoyed your story about something you are trying to manifest in your life. You are taking action, which I admire and I will use as inspiration. Please keep us informed.
