The Midas touch
As I sit down to write this I looked at an Angel tarot card that I pulled for myself today. It was the King of Earth, and the words that resonated with me were "The Midas touch" which, funnily enough, was what I decided to have as the title of this post before I checked the card!
Having the Midas touch, or "Divine magic" has been the message for me from my angels this week. As with a lot of cards, I didn't know what it meant at the time, but as this week is slowly unfolding, I am beginning to experience its effects!
This week, I got a second SMS from my college offering a 10% discount off the fees for my diploma. I decided to get off my ass and phone them up to see whether I was eligible. The catch was that I had to pay it upfront now and that the offer wasn't going to be valid when I was initially planning to pay it off (i.e. 1 July - this was solely for tax reasons). I then decided to consult my dear friend who is a finance expert, who told me to take the discount as it would benefit me more, and essentially gave me a new way of thinking of my finances (something I didn't understand previously and therefore ignored). At the end of the day, I have put in place a couple of things which will actually allow me to reduce my taxable income for THIS financial year so delaying the payment of the course fees till 1 July wouldn't be that beneficial for me anyway! So, I paid off my course and received the discount!
Having that under my belt, there were 2 other things that I was looking for (both of which are dutifully listed in my manifesto): a graphics designer for my logo and figuring out where I was supposed to go for this "tropical beach trip" that I keep seeing in my visions.
The graphics designer prayer was answered through an ex-colleague of mine who gave me his details last week. Given the long weekend, I hadn't had a confirmation from this guy about meeting this week so when I proactively messaged him, he confirmed our meeting today. I have to say I was a bit skeptical about meeting this guy but it turns out that he is a really really nice guy, he's got this awesome graphics designer, and, as a favour for my ex-colleague, he's creating the logo for me FOR FREE. Yes, you heard it - FOR FREE. Amazing! During our brief meeting, it also turns out he's looking to create certain software which happens to be in my domain of expertise, so we started to throw out some ideas and he had to go and pick up his kids but said "Right - looks like we're going to have to catch up over a lunch to discuss this further.. maybe some passive income for you as you transition?" <-- HELL YEA. I'm not too sure where this will go but hey, if the opportunity arises, why not???
Regarding the travel destination, today I received a message from a childhood friend of mine just wanting a general catch up. What I love about this friend is that we don't have to contact each other consistently, but when we do it's like we picked up where we left off ages ago. So anyway, I was telling her about this issue and she said "Hamilton Island". At that point I was like "yea right Hamilton Island is a honeymoon destination" and continued doing what I was doing *cough procrastinating at work cough*. I was also chatting to another friend of mine at the same time and I said something like "The Universe needs to give me an unequivocal sign about the destination I need to go!". Literally about 15 mins after I said that, the first friend sends me a picture of Hamilton Island and when I saw it, I stopped in my tracks. Why? That picture looked pretty damn similar to the vision in my dream. I then decided to Google some images of Hamilton Island (I've never been there before and didn't know what it looked like), and the images were spookily similar to the beach in my vision. Add to that the fact that there are sales/holiday packages for Hamilton Island at a pretty good price covering the time that I would most likely be able to get away for a break, the fact that my workmate said she would come with me AND the feeling that "this is where I'm meant to go", I got on the phone to Virgin. I haven't booked anything yet as they said they would call me back but if it's meant to be, it'll happen.
So how funny is that? On Tuesday I had a reiki session with One Grounded Angel and the message there was that I needed to let go of my need of control. I took that on board and then all of a sudden things are opening up and my prayers are being answered! Insane!
All I have to say is - THANK YOU UNIVERSE!
