When it all goes "wrong"...

(A funny thing happened while posting this... The whole blog disappeared, completely unposted... A joke from the divine to show that this mercury retrograde deal continues. Thank goodness I had already copied what I wrote! :))

I have been having a mercury retrograde festival of meltdowns, where everything that is potentially challenging moves from potentially to actually challenging. (Basically whatever could go wrong is going wrong.) Now, how do I turn it all around in my mind and heart and look at it as all divine? Ahh, the eternal question. Here's what I do...

I stop and I sit and I listen to the lessons... One of the multiple things that has "gone wrong" in my life right now is a roof that is leaking. So here I am sitting with you listening to the divine energy around why my roof is leaking. I am getting a funny message around that. First I get that it's old and it needs fixing and that houses just need repair. A simple and yet very practical answer. Now I ask, is there anything deeper that I need to learn from my roof leaking? I get a two-fold answer. One is that I need to trust that money and time will always be there for me and I need to learn that lesson in a big way. (This means to me that the price tag on my roof leak might be big and take some time to fix, but that I will create the money easily and the time will be well spent.) Another is that I am a part of a bigger picture and that I need to participate in the flow of cash. What I give out will come back to me, but I need to give out right now.

So the big thing "when it all goes wrong" is to remember to stop and listen and hear the lessons that we need to learn from whatever it is that is going wrong. Going wrong is always divine even if it's hard to get in touch with the divinity. I know a roof leak is small compared to health problems and world hunger, but the basic stop and listen still works for the harder stuff.

The final step is to pray. "Dear God, Goddess, Divine Spirit I open to the divine lesson and the divine plan that is challenging to see at the moment. I ask for help and assistance in healing whatever stands in my way of feeling peace and joy with the situation that is going on in my life. I open to learn my lessons in a gentle and fluid way. Thank you God, Goddess, Divine Spirit, Amen."
