So today marks two years since the day I first saw Angela. I genuinely can't believe that amount of…read moretime has passed. When I look back to who I was back then, that version of me truly feels so very far away, but I'm grateful to her for feeling lost the way she did, for needing answers to some questions, because she's the one that sought Angela, that needed that first reading, and that has become who I am now and gotten to where I'm at here.
Regardless of whether I continue to receive services from Angela or not, the change she brought into my life is timeless and immeasurable. I had asked her two years ago today if I should stay here in PA or move to another state. I was practically homeless, and Angela had said that although Spirit doesn't tell us what to do, she felt that I should stay. It resonated. So I did.
That was my smallest question that day, but time has turned it into the biggest. I stayed, and I got a great job out of the blue that I was completely unqualified for. From there, came a career. From there, came my own home and apartment. From there, I advanced even more and now I am an immigration paralegal and am weeks away from moving to Philly on my own. I have no schooling. I'm amazing at my work. All the odds have been against me and my blessings are immeasurable because I somehow got the job, got the apartment, got the life I sincerely could not have anywhere else. Successful paralegals without schooling are unheard of. I've made it, somehow, and it's a life I myself created but it came from the choice to stay. And it was Angela who gave me that guidance. I was ready to move away before I walked through her doors. I came to her looking for hope. I had genuinely no idea what to do with my life. She never told me what to do, but she told me what I could do, and that was something that was far too out of my own reach back then.
Thinking back on that time makes me very emotional. That version of me doesn't exist anymore. She's grown, she's more fearless now, and she's still hurt and still has questions but now she has a little bit more courage to answer them for herself. Again, that all began with Angela. She was the first one to tell me that I truly did have options. Those came out in the reading, and when I got out of her space after the reading, I knew exactly what I had to do.
It was exactly what I needed, and I have genuinely lived my life from thereon out in a direction that has moved only forward. There have been struggles, hiccups, and pains. But I rest easy in knowing I am exactly where I need to be in life. I can easily say that a lot of that is thanks to that first reading with Angela.
That version of me had questions, needed answers. And I'm so glad she did.
