Manifesting Love
Love is in the air, every where I look around. It’s also well within me and you.
I must share all that I manifested this morning, with the hopes that it will serve as a blessing to someone else.
I was lying in bed, a bit tired, I had been conducting New Hires training this week. I wasn’t entirely in a sunken place; just on the cusp. Valentine’s Day can sometimes have that affect on me. You know being as fine as I am, with such great energy and spirit and yet, here I currently am without my partner, planning my own date night, which I’ve done many times over.
Then I got a text message from my sister Inisha wishing Happy Valentine’s Day, and then a voice memo from Papa C singing -
“ Gray skies are gonna clear up,
put on a happy face;
Brush off the clouds and cheer up,
Put on a happy face.”
How’d he know?!
It was just what I needed to get me up and going. I put on my happy face, and had a talk with myself about love and healing. I mean I went in, reminding myself of the strides of healing that I’ve made, post divorce, Telling myself that I get to change my language and stop saying things like, “my lackluster love life,” because that’s what it will continue to be if I continue seeing it in that light.
I needed to stop at the post office - and there is where I was met with love, not once, but twice. There were a group of children on a what appeared to be an outing to share some V-Day love.” Excuse me,, excuse me,” a little voice screamed ( I was in another world). Then, I heard another voice, that of an adult. “excuse me,” Oh your’e talking to me. Out of the handful of people there, they sought my attention. The little girl, must have been about 5/6 years old. She handed me a lollipop and a cutout heart. I literally was moved to tears. I may have scared her a little. Moments later, as I continued to wait, another group came in. The teacher spotted me and sent a student over. The student that approached me name is Joan, she gave me her art work with a lollipop. Okay [hand clap] Universe [hand clap] I [hand clap] see [hand clap] you [hand clap]. I thanked her, and was touched yet again. I commence to walking across the bridge to take the subway to work, just as neared the station, yet another group of students, this time, much older maybe 4th or 5th graders. The young man hands me a bag, it had a turkey sandwich in it. I thanked him, and said, please give it to someone else that may need it more than I do. He assured me that there was plenty, and I insisted he’d share with someone else. I let them know that what they were doing was so wonderful. The teacher told me that they were from Global Academy Charter School. I said, yes, I received two blessings from other students just moments ago. I again thanked them for the love they were sharing. I also shared that, I woke up this morning not feeling my best and how there gesture shifted my mood, you know it’s Valentine’s Day I said, in air quotes. A little girl interrupts me and says, “you don’t need no man; you don’t need no man!” I said, that’s clear, there’s love all around (pointing to them). Her response, “that’s right!” and then she reaches out to hug me. Before I knew it, I was being hugged by the whole class.
I mean, I couldn't’ make this up if I tried. I will say that I attracted all that! And pray that I continue to walk around open to receiving love, and when the time is right, Mr. Right and I will meet.
And had that been the end of the day it would have been all so well, except the Universe had more to deliver unto me. Special delivery of roses, from my older daughters with a card that read, “you are loved deeply.” My colleague that I was training is a widow, after work she said, let’s go and get Thai food. She said, “I can spend this day being sad, or I can celebrate.” It was just a few days ago when going through her beloved husbands papers she discovered two Valentines Day cards. One that read, “I will love Clarita until the day I die,” ThT he did. So we celebrate life. The restaurant was one that she and her beloved husband use to go. The food was amazing; just like the day.
So if you didn’t get a lollipop today, perhaps you gave one!
Happy Valentine’s Day Ya’ll!!
Just Bloom,
