Be Careful What You Wish For...

     About five years ago I met a person at work that was my first experience ever with feeling like I had known a person before this lifetime. This person and I became very close friends. Our friendship led me to begin writing two stories that were interconnected as I tried to figure out what we had meant to each other previously.  At first the stories poured out of me, then after two years this friend lost their job to a reduction in force. Since then we rarely have contact because our lives traveled in very different directions.  My interest in the writing waned because I could not figure out what direction to take to finish the stories. I had kept them in several flash drives and at one time I nearly erased all versions of them. Over the next few years many things came up making me feel like I was falling apart. These things eventually led me to search for healing and to learn who I am.  

     In January this year, I found the stories while going through a flash drive and reread them. I wanted and needed them to be finished. I told a friend about them and she told me that my guides wanted me to finish them because I needed to share them with others that they would tell people what they needed to know. I began writing and revising one of the stories but it seemed I was getting nowhere because of my never ending work. I was so frustrated I told my spirit guides that if they wanted me to finish these stories they were going to have to find a way to make me stay home from work. The next day I became ill with the flu and a severe upper respiratory infection. I spent the next seven days home from work writing whenever I felt able and it was nearly three months before I completely recovered.

     The first book was finished in early spring and I am now working on the second one only this time I did not request to be forced to write. It was my first lesson in manifestation and one that had to be learned. Be careful what you wish for because you get what you ask for.

P.S. As I sit here writing this someone I knew once and loved dearly sits with me smoking their cigarette because I can smell it.
