A New Beginning

As one door closes, another one always opens. I haven’t really had time to reflect on this but I think it’s a lesson I should reevaluate. Things have been so intense since the passing away of my grandmother. I remember coming back from Chicago and not really knowing how to resume the transition I’ve been caught up in since graduation. My AmeriCorps year was coming to a close and I still didn’t have a job lined up. I also had to prepare to move from the Desmet house and try to deal with the grief. Sensing my frustration, my grandmother passed along her grace to help me find my peace. In a dream, she appeared and told me that everything would work out and that I should trust that the fruits of my labor would be rewarded. I woke with a strange calmness that I haven’t felt for awhile. I was offered a position with Progressive Future a few days later. I accepted and felt such a sensation of clarity. It’s like the struggle to find direction finally came to fruition and I was freed to focus on other unresolved pursuits.

With income and the ability to financially support myself, I’m now able to focus on the other voids that haunt me. Spirituality, creativity, health and fitness, and the defining of the man I’m destined to become. There’s so much out there…
