A few days ago, as I sat at my desk early, early, early in the morning, looking at my brilliant new idea I want to launch, looking at all of my hopes and dreams for this and next year, looking at the mountain of work I have between now and Christmas, I felt, for a moment, exhausted. And a little uncertain.
I’d felt so guided to move in this direction. The work had flowed so smoothly. I was on fire in a way I haven’t been on fire for years. And yet…
And yet in the midst of all of this I’d ended up in hospital and then on bed rest – right when I was meant to be getting my magical new idea finished.
I’d nursed my friend in her dying weeks, and willingly put all work aside to do that.
My glorious projects, already on tight time lines, now seemed more than a little crazy.
So here I was, early in the morning, looking at my endless to-do list, still having occasional little heart pains, wondering if maybe this time, I’d been misguided.
I asked Rollo, one of my Guides, whether I was on the right path. I had a need for some kind of validation or direction. I would have been really grateful if he’d just said yes or no. Followed by telling me what to do.
Instead he said this. “You’ll get your answers today. In the same way you help others, others will help you. Trust the Universe.” (He’s big on this Trust the Universe stuff!)
So, I trusted. With a little flame of excitement in my belly, Ben and I took off to our favourite city cafe to have some breakfast. With Harry the Cafe Dog, of course.
I hadn’t been sitting at our regular table on the sidewalk very long, when a smiling gentleman at the table behind me said, “Excuse me, but are you spiritual?”
I smiled too. It was a strange thing to say, but I knew exactly what he meant. I hadn’t seen this man before, but he seemed like a local. We ended up having a lovely discussion while Ben was inside ordering our coffees. After which the conversation continued in sociable dribs and drabs.
After breakfast, while I was waiting for Ben to buy a box of chocolates for a neighbour, the smiling gentleman passed me a box of oracle cards.
“Go on,” he said. ” Have a look. They’re new. I think you’ll like them.”
‘Really?’ I was thinking, but also ‘how cool! This is the sort of stuff I’m always doing for other people…’
So, I took the cards from their box, (Colette Baron-Reid’s Wisdom of the Oracle) shuffled and gave myself a three card reading about my year ahead and these crazy projects, being completely open to whatever the Universe might tell me.
“Read the messages in the little book,” the smiling man said. “They’re so accurate.”
So I did. Each message built on the one before, and all of the news was good. Believe in myself and my dreams and my community and keep going. This was it. All green lights. I snapped a quick photo with my phone so I would remember the cards and their messages.
I was about to put the cards back, when the man said, “Go on, do one more, one card just to top it off. Just to complete the magic.”
So I did, and got this.
I read the little book. The message was perfect.
The man and I chatted a bit more, exchanged names and contact details, and then to my surprise the smiling man we now knew as Chris gifted my husband and I two free movie passes.
It was the most magical of mornings. Thank you, Chris!
To top it off, after a busy day of clients, I then needed to go see a friend about my magical idea. I was exhausted, but it was important that I go, so that this idea can be birthed in the world. It’s a timeline thing. A deadline thing. You know how it is. My friend is a graphic designer, and I met her at her home that evening.
I discussing something else my friend gave me a piece of advice that sorted out a problem I’d been struggling with for over a year. Just like that, all the pieces of my puzzle came together. Thanks, Bek!
Rollo was right. I trusted, and my answers came in the coolest and most delightful way possible.
So, how about you? Where do you need a little help or guidance? All you need to do is put it out there, and trust!
What a wonderful day. Truly magical. A divine gift.
Beautiful post. Such beautiful energy.
<3 My loved one and I have noticed that despite our "clumsiness" and thousands of miles of distance, the universe has aligned us together, and everything has been working out well in ways we could never have expected. All the other things of life that didn't work out now seem to have had purpose in their not-working-out. It's genius. It's magic. It's quite a lot to take in!
I am working on trusting the universe on it. Because its a beautiful life and I want it. And yet I feel unsure whether to stand back and wait, or take the lead. I feel worried that all the joy might get taken from me, and he worries that, too. Hoping our faith in Good can be stronger than fear this time for us.
Much love and blessing to you, and beautiful energy for your fantastic projects! You have such lovely ideas.
I, like several others, resounded with that last card. Hugs.
Wow love it when things come together . Strangers can be amazing can’t they .

Lovely post Nicole I do have a question though. What if you keep getting sent roadblocks when trying to achieve something that you long for so deeply? Is this the Universe telling you to quit while your ahead? I think I’ve answered my own question but it puzzles me as to why I would want something that seems totally out of my reach
I think I’ll blog this one for you, Genevieve! xoxo
That’s just so wonderful for you. Great to hear !!!.
I was feeling a little non-believing in my art, and yesterday received an email asking me to submit an application to be part of an exhibition in March next year with a theme of Regeneration – about recovery, healing from trauma, change and transformation. A lot of my works are based on love, believing in themselves etc, so is a perfect fit for my art. So I had put it out there, and it arrived. I still have to be accepted, but everything is lining up perfectly. Have a beautiful day. xx
Congratulations, Cherie. That’s awesome news xoxo
Wow! My day started out with a lot of self doubt ….am I on the right path….can I do this “stuff” and it ended meeting some new friends on the same path and feeling validated .
Trust in the universe for sure…. 🐢🐢🐢that last card you drew had such an emotional impact on me🌺🌺🌺 like another lost memory … The puzzle is starting to take shape ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Life is good and we are all where we are meant to be 💫💫💫🐉🐉🐉
We sure are! Big love to you, Beka Dragon Girl xoxoxoxo
I can’t work out what the universe is telling me Nicole ….lots of things I love I have had to put on hold ( study, exercise , pretty much life in general). I meditate, I blog, I have floated in the last couple of weeks – all things to help me to see where my path is going. I still have no idea ……😟
I’m going to write about this tomorrow, Jen <3 Hang in there xx
Really magical experiences 🙂
Yep! 🙂 Am still grinning.
Everything in Divine Time <3 Such a Magical day Much Love <3 <3 <3
It isn’t every day you get one as good as that one, but I’ll happily take more of those kinds of days! Much love to you too xx
Indeed that was a magical day at the cafe! On this new moon day, my intention is to have more magical moments for myself and pass them onto others.
That sounds perfect, Jan <3 xx
I got that very deck delivered just last week and am absolutely loving it. The images, the messages … Everything. May you continue to attract more and more Earth Angels in your day to help ease your work/dream load xx
Thank you! (((HUGS))) xoxo
