STORYTIME....
The Universe was swift with my a**
earlier this morning…
I stopped by one of my new favorite local coffee shops.
It’s a cute little house that used to be another coffee shop. I loved the OLD ONE simply because I loved the women’s story (This reminds me that I have ALWAYS loved a good story)!
Sometimes business owners will convert a house and it loses its ‘house feel’. The current owners made this place feels like I am going to a neighbor’s house for coffee.
*None of this is relevant to my story but I love a good visual and was trying to give you one.
I could easily do this…
Okay. So now you can picture where I was.
I was going in the front door behind a man and his puppy. He walks in and lets the door just close on me.
To know me is to know, I give people the benefit of the doubt 90+ percent of the time. I mean it is really my default. I am quick to say: Well maybe they…..
But when this door closed on me, I sucked my teeth and told the person I was on the phone with: “He just went in and let this door close on me!”
This was my face…
As I was stepping forward prepared to hold my ‘stank face’ while standing behind him, I realized…..
I completely let the door go on the woman behind me. Ooooooh SH*T!!!
I didn’t see her.
I didn’t hear her.
NOTHING!
Where did she come from!?!?!
I was apologetic but I am sure she was now giving me the ‘stank face’.
Me to the person on the phone: “That’s what I get!”
The Universe gave me a reminder. QUICK!
Give. Grace.
Who knows what was on that guy’s mind. I did see him standing on the porch on the phone as I was coming up.
That phone call could have had him off his game. Maybe he didn’t hear or see me behind him.
I will never know.
I am grateful for the nudge from The Universe reminding me not to judge, to give grace, and to focus on me and what I am doing versus policing others.
Has something similar happened to you?
Has The Universe ever swiftly corrected you?
THAT’S IT Y’ALL - see ya here next Sunday at 3:33p CT
I’m always open to dialogue and feedback.

Hugs & LOVE Y’all,

I let this happen once. My mind was off somewhere far away. Something serious had happened to completely distract me and I didn't hold the door for the person behind me. She let me know how she felt about what I had done and before my mind was snapped back to reality she was gone. I felt horrible. I always try to remember that everyone has stuff going on. Thank you Sally for being so compassionate!
You're better than me - I usually go straight to asshat!
