“Here…don’t screw it up.”
Every once in awhile, if you listen with your heart, I think you can hear the Universe talking to you.
Thirteen years ago, I started dating a man that I loved deeply. We had dated before, but due to circumstances beyond our control, it didn’t work out. A couple years after that, we were given another chance to make it work.
I ended up pregnant immediately.
I’ll admit, at first it was an “Oh, sh*t” moment. But I soon realized that it was the Universe telling me, “Here…don’t screw this up”. Even though we are no longer married, he is still a wonderful father and I know I am lucky to have had children with him.
Now, thirteen years later, the Universe has once again spoken.
I have been wishy-washy about quitting my part time job to see what I can do with my writing. It’s something I’ve always wanted, but have dragged my feet on. I have multiple resources available to me, and several people telling me that I can do it and be successful. But still I hesitated.
Until this week.
This week, I found out that they will be closing the doors to my part time job in less than two weeks. So my choices are to either find another part time job to fill the financial void, or actually follow my heart and start writing.
I’m going to follow my heart. I’m also going to listen with my heart…because if I’m quiet enough, I can hear the Universe telling me in that mysterious way…
“Here, don’t screw it up.”

YES! I know you can do this- I have no doubts.
I am so excited for you.
Soon you will be making enoug with your part time writing job to quit that full time one too.
Next year at this time we will be laughing at how scared we were.
Good luck, Susan. I know you can make a go of this with your writing.
Thanks, everyone. I’m ready for this. I’m really, really ready for this.
