I am not sure if I ever shared this story but it seems beyond appropriate to share it now as May is the one year anniversary of Spiritquest Healing Center & Angel Gift Shop opening it’s doors in it’s new location in Ocean Isle Beach, NC! You may also remember that March was the 16th anniversary of Spiritquest being in business! Yes, there have been a lot of ups and downs, lots of personal achievements and lots of personal disasters. However, at the end of the day I NEVER gave up on my dream. More importantly I never let anyone else take away my dream. And that my friends leads me to my story.
Take a step back in time with me. It is a couple of months before I will be leaving NY and heading to NC. I have just publicly announced that I will be leaving NY. Now it is real and there is no turning back! It is a horribly tough time for me (many of you know the saga with my house and the bank in NY). I am beyond heartbroken as I walk away from everyting I have worked my ass off to create! Every holiday I am well aware that this will be my last holiday with my family and friends as a NY resident. I am saying good bye to so many clients who are like family to me and there are daily tears being shed. Yes, I know in my heart I am so doing the right thing. I know in my soul this is what I am suppose to do. However, I am human and I am full of fear! I am doing this all alone…no husband, no boyfriend, no roomates, no family. It’s all me! If it works it will be the most amazing manifesting and creating I have ever done. If it doesn’t work there will be a lot of “I told you so’s” to content with!
I had recently sent out my monthly newsletter when I got an email from a complete stranger. I do not remember his
name but I can only hope he is reading this now. He was from some Spiritualist Church in SC (I honestly do not remember the name). Some how he got on my email list. At first I thought this was someone of similar beliefs reaching out but as I read further into the email I quickly realized it was not. I didn’t save the email but I will give you the short version. He (this supposive “PASTOR” who SHOULD be supporting and inspiring people) was writing to tell me that he had read I was leaving NY and heading to SC (my original destination). He was basically writing to tell me that I would not make it as a Psychic in SC and I should stay in NY. He worked with other psychics and said it was not possible to make a living there as a psychic. He went on and on about some guy who tried to open a Spiritualist Church which never took off. Of course he went a lot more in depth but I will spare you the mumbo jumbo.
I can not tell you how I felt as I read his words. My first thought was what the heck is wrong with people. I am sorry but you call yourself a Pastor of a SPIRITUALIST church…you should be held to an even higher standard. You have chosen to take on this role. Your job is to inspire and lift people up. I was honestly sickened by the email and remember immediately sending white light to all those within an ear shot of this man. How horrible to have a leader who spreads fear! My second thought was “WOW look at me! I am not even there yet and apparently I am ruffling feathers! GO LA!” I joke but honeslty I was truly hurt and devestated. I had enough fear of my own. I did not need a complete stranger (who clearly totally missed the true meaning of living a Spiritual life) feeding me more fear and negativity!
I didn’t respond right (away as you all know I have my 24 hour rule). I don’t remember my exact response but I was sure to be pleasant (as he was putting enough fear and negativity into the Universe). I thanked him for his information and his concern and then suggested that maybe the reason why God was sending me down South was to help him since in his own words he was not successful (gee can’t imagine why). I told him how I looked forward to meeting him when I arrived. For some odd reason I never heard back from him…hum???? LOL
Now in hindsight I do believe that his email was a divine gift from the Universe. For one it proved to me how strong I am. It made me realize how I was being overcome by fear (as we attract what we think). AND it pissed me off so bad that I was determined to not only make the move but to become a huge success! So why am I sharing this….because “luck” has nothing to do with making your dreams a reality! It takes hard work, it takes commitment and most importantly it takes YOU never ALLOWING ANYONE to take your dreams away!
