29-Day Giving Challenge

The place I am couch surfing at is WAY far away...

I am so grateful for a place but there is a lot of waiting involved, and getting rides. Thankfully the universe is the BEST planner and got me home at a decent hour tonight... I often got lost in dark, brooding and complaining thoughts today because I had to explain over and over again my situation to people who ask the loaded question, "So how are you? where are you living at these days?"

ONe of the places I hang out at got uncomfortable because I knew a lot of people there and just had to leave because I was getting unsolicited advice about it all. It was a good urge to leave because I hadn't found who I was supposed to give a gift to for the day, and it wasn't happening by staying in one place.

I ended up in a friend's bar... she has a strong personality and hates her name because there are a million girls with her name or some form of it, Brittany. I told her about how I went through being named "Mythica" and how I chose it myself and there was nothing saying that she couldn't also do the same thing. One shouldn't hate their name. So we talked for a while and came to the name of Lillith... or Lilly... so I pulled out my calligraphy pens and asked if blue or purple was prefered. She said purple. I Drew the name Lillith & Lilly and gave it to her and said "Just sit with it and see how you feel. I knew it was my gift for the day.

The amazing thing is that one of the people who works there was driving all the way out to where I am staying to meet a friend of his... the universe was so awesome to "arrange" a ride home. By looking for the person to give a gift to, I found a way home. How awesome is that!?!?!?

you are so right, no one should go through life hating their name! what a gift you gave your friend, the idea that it is okay to choose for herself! one of our other ladies here also changed her name, you can read her story here: http://www.29gifts.org/profiles/blogs/if-you-dont-like-it-change-it  and how perfect that you found a ride all the way home! Hugs, Dawn
