Hi guys!

The most wonderful thing happened to me yesterday night. I was working late and my boyfriend called me furious, explaining that he had lost his wallet. The day before he had gone to a drive thru restaurant with his sister and came right back, never left the car, and spent the whole day at home yesterday, so he did not know why it would just disappear. A little background on him, he tends to lose things and gets very frustrated, he had already lost his wallet before and I am the only one that is able to find what he loses (well about 90% of the time :p ).

So, when he called me he said: “Audry, I’m feeling it, I’m feeling the anger coming” :eek: and his voice was getting agitated. I told him: “No babe, just calm down and breath, observe and play your movements along the day to see if you remember were you put it, center yourself”. He did not listen to me and hung up. A few minutes later his sister picked me up and I went to their house. I saw him turn into a monster, he started smashing everything in his way, I told him (with a smile) to get it together and calm down. He was like: “Not now Audry, just leave me alone”, so I said: “ok”.

Now, this is the awesome part. I was very calm throughout the whole ordeal, he searched the car and so did his sister. Both of them were upset (his sister was upset because he asked her to please pick me up on her way home), then I said to my Higher Self: “Please help me help my boyfriend find his wallet, if this is in accordance to our highest good”. I smiled and took a flashlight, I went to his car and searched the inside, nothing was there, then I searched the outside and the very first thing I saw was his wallet!!! :D It was opened on the ground, in front of the passenger door under a bunch of leaves!! I took it, I cleaned it, I went inside the house and I gave it to him. He must have dropped it while getting out of the car, he had too many things on his hands and I bet he was talking to his sister, which is why he did not hear it fall.

He was in total chock because him and his sister had already looked there. I told him that I observed the area and was calmed the whole time. Then he started to almost cry, he said: “Audry, I have a big problem, I don’t know why I overreact when I lose things, are you sure you want to be with a person like me?” I told him that I loved him and accepted him the way he was, I also told him that this is something that repeats a lot in his life and he must reflect on it to find a way to center himself and remain calm when these things happen so that he may pass the test, I also said: “S#!* happens, and it will continue to happen, what will make a difference is the way you react towards the S#!*, and how you decide to live during that moment, as you saw I decided to be calm and not panic, take it easy because anyways S#!* will happen, so you should decide what’s best for the people around you and your health, ask your Higher Self for guidance”

He looked at me like I was crazy but it made some sense to him. I felt so happy for having helped him! Now, what repeats in my life is having to wait for people, ever since I remember no one has been on time to meet me! A lot of times I let the anger consume me, but lately I just embrace the moment and smile, it helps me get rid of any type of anger that might want to surface, I feel free and wait! PATIENCE!! It’s hard but I tend to have a better time been happy while waiting than raging and cursing! Hopefully the lessons on waiting will slow down now that “I got it”…at least I want to think that I have! I guess we’ll see what happens!:o

Thats an interesting story. We all have to deal with so many emotions in life and yet so many times we dont even know where they come from, why we react the way we do.

On Easter Sunday my wife made me go with her to a catholic mass. I was so so annoyed i cant describe it. Im sure many people here could go to one of those and have no issue with being there but im usually overcome with frustration. To me these church events are something i left behind long ago when i used to go to catholic school and have no interest in revisiting. My wife however is of a different opinion so i go to make her happy.

Finding no other way to calm down i decided to meditate during the mass. I figured that the greatest service i could perform at the time was to radiate love and light to those assembled there. I have to say... the whole experience turned right around. I calmed down completely and found myself at peace. At the end of the mass i was completely in another "state" and was very glad i had chosen not to wallow in the negative feelings.

It is beautiful what one single free will choice can accomplish. :D
