Goddess, thank you for the opportunity that literally fell into my lap today! I don't know HOW it happened, and whether or not you know who had anything to do with it (though, I can't help but feel he did, since he called today), but..however it happened, it was a miracle. And thank you that John agreed to drive me to these gigs. I know it will be a long day for him, on those days. Please let it turn out as it seems to promise to. I realllllly need a nest egg, plus, all that dental work done. THANK YOU!!!!!

So far, so Good, Goddess. I trust you. You are creating a "way" for me. Thank you for this lesson in patience, and trust. Thank you for the opportunity. Thank you for the Jobs :) Thank you that both places are clean, friendly, classy, and popular. Thank you for the owners of Cal Jeri's. Thank you that the owner of Bailey's was open, even if skeptical. Thank you for allowing me to use my gift. Thank you for the confirmation OF those gifts. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Thank you that the drive isn't too long. Thank you that those i'll be working with make it such a pleasant place to be. Thank you that they are so willing to work with me. Thank you that they are so willing to help me. Thank you for what I feel will be an equal partnership of give and take between them and I.

One little prayer that I REALLY need to add though....Goddess...you KNOW him. You know his bluntness, you know his cocky attitude. You know that he has a tendency to insert himself where he doesn't belong, or to insert opinions that are not warranted, nor desired. You know that he fumbles his words, and often drives people away with them....coat his tongue with just a little more honey than he is used to? PLEASE. Honesty is admirable, and necessary..but...he reaaaaaaalllly needs to see that Honesty can be handed out in more than one way..it doesn't always need to be bitterly. A little bit of compassion, kindness, and gentleness goes a LONG way. Help him to find that in himself, so that he doesn't wind up alienating my customers. I would never ask that he lie, as I don't lie either. But...he doesn't seem to know the balance between telling the truth, and hurting peoples feelings. Help him to find that balance. Help him to find a little bit of gentleness within himself for this endeavor.

If this is not your will, if it cannot be done, then at least, allow those who need more gentleness to come to me, instead of him. And those who need a bitter pill, find him.

Goddess...maybe it is the gift of blarney in me, that allows me to soothe people, even as I'm telling them a truth which is sometimes uncomfortable for them to hear...but... whatever it is..thank you that you open their ears for me. Please dont' let that work be overshadowed by a lack of grace coming from him...

I'm really nervous about this. And pretty worried. I can't ask him just to drive me, and hang out for three hours while I work. But..likewise, the thought of him getting involved in this makes me shudder. Please, Please, Please....allow MY light to shine, independently of anything that he might do or say. Allow my OWN value, to shine, regardless of what he does...so that I can stand on my own, and do what needs to be done.

I have faith in you, that you will make it all okay. Forgive the nervous flutterings of my heart, Goddess.

As you will it, so mote it be.
