Dearest Readers,<\/p>\n

Yesterday, as my brain went on a future-trip and my anxiety began to rise due to the fact that none of the issues the mind sought to resolve were immediately solvable I went out on a limb and asked for a miracle.<\/p>\n

The dictionary on this computer has two definitions for the word “miracle” and both are very appealing:<\/p>\n

A miracle is “a surprising and welcome event\u00a0that is\u00a0not explicable by natural or scientific laws and is therefore considered to be the work of a divine agency.”<\/p>\n

A miracle is “a\u00a0highly\u00a0improbable or extraordinary event, development, or accomplishment\u00a0that brings very welcome\u00a0consequences.”<\/p>\n

The reason I asked for a miracle was simple enough. I had no peace. My mind was hard at work to figure out things that it simply has no control over at present. I needed that Divine Agency to take over.<\/p>\n

So I asked for a miracle.<\/p>\n

A short time later the phone rang. It was Beverly R. Down, the\u00a0President & CEO of the Creativity Coaching Association, <\/a>of which I am a member. She asked me if I would like to come and do a presentation at their conference in October in Lake George, New York.<\/p>\n

This<\/em> was the miracle.<\/p>\n

Why? It’s just a phone call. It’s a job offer. It’s not too extraordinary. But it is<\/em> extraordinary. Because the brain activity that was causing me so much stress was all about my path as an Inspiring Leader and should I really continue to pursue it?<\/p>\n

Earlier in the week I’d sent out a couple of inquiries to speaking agencies and, of course,\u00a0not hearing back immediately<\/em> my mind went into big-time negative-thinking mode. The itty-bitty-shitty-committee was now in session.<\/p>\n

When I am being attacked like this by the voices of dissent the only way to get them to shut up is to call the Divine Agency on the direct line and ask for help.<\/p>\n

“Send me a miracle, please.”<\/p>\n

And what happens? A surprising and welcome event occurs with very welcome consequences. A veritable miracle occurs.<\/em><\/p>\n

I always say this, folks: I don’t know how prayer works I just know it does.<\/p>\n

Inspiring Message of the Day: <\/strong>When the negative thinking becomes just too much to bear I will ask for a miracle and I will expect extraordinary results. The Divine Agency is always open for business.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
