I decided to make the long journey from St. Louis Mo to Los Angeles CA by car. A 27hr drive. I turned it into a solo road trip and saw many amazing sights along the way. I wasn't in downtown LA for even 12hrs before my car was broken into and all my belongings were stolen. I thought about just turning around and going home. I was so defeated with 2 broken windows and only a bookbag full of clothes and toiletries left. I went to the 1st day and let the speakers take my mind off my situation (for the most part). I
had a friend gift me his VIP ticket so I could attend the party. I almost didn't go. I didn't have any makeup or hair products. This was a red carpet event and all I had left was a dress and shoes. But, the power of manifestation came through. A friend from the show found me in the bathroom and was kind enough to share some items with me. I met some of the speakers and had some really great conversations. I felt like things were turning around. I spent the night in my car because I was so worried someone was going to try and take it too. It was so hard to maintain a positive outlook on things. I was trying really hard not to let my vibes drag everyone around me down. I really just wanted to give up on everything and just go home.
But towards the end of day 2, something shifted. One of the speakers said something that just struck my brain like lightning. I still hear it echo to this day. He said, "Do it anyway". He said so many times people are so close to their breakthrough, but they give up right before. So when you feel like quitting and giving up, do it anyway.
The universe was teaching me to let go of material possessions, and the speakers were teaching me to let go of my expectations. To let go of the older version of me with a victim mindset and embrace the highest version of myself. The one who thrives and overcomes anything thrown at her with grace and strength. The one who doesn't give up on herself when times get tough. Thank you, for helping me find my strength in I one of my weakest moments.
