We all want it. To be that one. The one who takes someone's breath away. The one who is seen from across the room and our mere presence creates something of an obsession. We want to be noticed and adored. We want to be loved, recognized as unique and precious. To have someone see us, truly look into us and treasure what they hold.
Then it happens, we see someone, we take that quick breath, feel that sudden recognition of what we want. And we become the person we wish existed for us. Which is glorious, if that person feels the same. But if that person doesn't, if we alone smile. If their response is to look right through us, past us. What then? We move on. We say it was not meant to be. We were not right for each other... But, in the end we have lost. We saw value in another but they did not, in turn see our worth, they missed our beauty. Rejection, even in the slightest of its twists, hurts.

Being loved!
I got a call today from a past client who would like to work with me
again. First of all I love this client so that makes it wonderful, but
even more so, when I told them that my rates had gone up significantly
this incredible person said "you are the best and the market reflects
that." Which is so what I needed to hear today.
I work in a world of wealthy people and sometimes it is very apparent that one reason why some of them are wealthy is that they are willing to haggle for every dollar. Even when it is obvious that they can easily afford the dollar and I cannot. So when I meet kind people and when I am appreciated by these marvelous creatures... I feel like giving the universe a huge thank you hug!
And, on the topic of giving the universe a hug, I had to go to the post office to find out what to do because my key suddenly refused to open my mailbox. Waited in line for ten minutes, got the guy that I was pleading with fate not to give me, (this dude has never been nice or helpful) and it was really strange. I had a problem, not a package to mail, but a problem and this man who has always been quite rude was insanely nice. He told me what I had to do, left a note for my mailman, gave me advice and sent me on my way. I had to get my mail and of course there is no way to do that because my mail is already in the little box, waiting for someone with a key to set it free. But, not to worry, as I was driving home there was my mailman putting mail into my box!
I just love it when things work out well! It gives me hope for the future.
