My Song — by Lisa Vaden

OO LA LA! SOMEBODY KISS ME! I THINK I AM FRENCH!!

Back in early February I stopped by my parent’s house to drop something off on my way out of town. And we had a grand ole time talking and joking and enjoying each other’s company.

While driving away the thought occurred to me… “Oh my God, what if my mom and step-dad take me to Paris for my birthday!!!!”

I was so amazed and excited I could barely contain myself! And somehow it shifted from a thought to a knowing. I could just feel that I knew something that was true.

And then my mind joined the party and rained on my parade with, “Oh my God dude, where do you get this stuff from??? That has got to be one of the craziest things you have come up with!! Now you really are on crack!!”

Well for the rest of the day I told my mind to bugger off and just went with what I was feeling. A trip to Paris this year felt pretty darn real in that moment, and anyway, it made me extremely happy!

And I could just see it… me, my parents, a week abroad, all doing something for the first time together! I sang to myself and danced jigs all day long… I am going to Paris this year! I am going to Paris this year! I am going to Paris this year!!!

As the days slipped by I let it go. And whenever I though about it, I started thinking…Well, I could see it happening…right (?)…but maybe I got the year wrong….it can’t happen this year…or maybe it could….nah, I must have been really delusional that day!

So my birthday arrived almost two months later and the whole Paris thing was the very last thing on my mind. I’d had a rough week and was drained on all levels as I had been doing a lot of Spring Cleaning physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. I guess I was preparing for my New Year, birthday to birthday New Year that is.

Last year my wish was: I just want to be happy. And I was pretty happy last year. This year my wish is: I just want to trust myself, especially my intuition.

I went to my parent’s house for dinner and was feeling rather poorly due to all my Spring Cleaning. So there we are at dinner and my parents said… “Now, one of your birthday gifts is that we’d like to take you somewhere in September for a week and you’ll need your passport.”

The whole world stopped. I think I even stopped breathing. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing! And the first thing that popped out of my mouth was, “Oh my God, are we going to Paris???!!!!”

They wouldn’t confirm nor deny where we are going. And at least I know that it is not Canada or Mexico or Jamaica or Japan so I will be going somewhere that I have never been before outside the US. It turned into a Where’s Waldo game for a while until I let it go because they weren’t budging on the whole “it’s a surprise” thing.

And you know what? It doesn’t matter to me if we are going to Paris or Timbuktu… I got an intuitive hit back in February and on my birthday I got the biggest confirmation ever… which reminded me quite effectively, “See dude, you really should trust yourself!!”

We all have intuition. We all can access information beyond our normal mode of only believing what our five senses can confirm.

The only question is: Will you allow life and God to talk to you?

We ask to know, but then we don’t really trust. Or at least that has been the case with me.

At some point it comes down to: are you gonna to trust what is out there or are you gonna trust what is in here?

I made my choice. I trust what is in here. And I got an all expense paid trip in September…probably to Paris. Ha, ha, ha!

It is time to trust ourselves.

Life pays handsomely for those who are willing to play the game.

Until next time,

Lisa

PS: My wish for you is that you never settle and always work on creating the life that you know you are meant to live.

A great book that can help you is my book May I Have This Dance, Little One? God’s Whispers.

Just a thought.
