I call it the &#8216;not there yet.&#8217; Remember when you were a kid, riding in the back seat of the car and you persistently would ask your parents, &#8220;Are we there yet?&#8221; I know I did it. My cousin Billy used to ask my Aunt Sue &#8220;How more longer?&#8221;\u00a0 It sounds cute when I think about it, but now, it feels obnoxious when I apply it to my impatience with the process from conception to manna-festation of what I REALLY REALLY want. I asked her if she wonders why she isn&#8217;t more well known and that since her skyrocket to world wide fame hasn&#8217;t occurred yet, did she doubt that it still would?\u00a0 I go through that experience myself when I question my own not quite meteoric rise to be a &#8216;mover and shaker&#8217; of the caliber that I desire, who makes a difference on a global scale. I also wonder about this whole calling in The One relationship dynamic. There are times when no matter how focused I am on bringing him into my life and then paradoxically, how necessarily I release it to Divine Timing, as with everything else I have ever invited and subsequently saw coming to fruition, I still have my doubts. And I teach this stuff!\u00a0 It&#8217;s like the kid&#8217;s game where you are looking for a hidden object and your friends tell you &#8220;You&#8217;re getting warmer.&#8221;\u00a0 or &#8220;You&#8217;re getting colder.&#8221; until you eventually find what you are looking for. Sometimes it is hiding in plain sight. I wonder if everything we desire is like that and is waiting for us to open our hearts and eyes to take in what it is we most cherish.<\/p>\n<p>When I roll back the clock, I can list hundreds if not thousands of amazing creations that came to me by serendipity or Divine Design. And for that I\u00a0count myself\u00a0immensely grateful.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/MHr9CJRhTPk\">http:\/\/youtu.be\/MHr9CJRhTPk<\/a>\u00a0A Thousand Beautiful Things by Annie Lenox<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.robinrenee.com\">www.robinrenee.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Last night I was speaking with my talented singer songwriter friend Robin Renee\u00a0and found myself musing about a phenom that sometimes feels like it plagues me, or at the very least is a source of frustration.
