I have considered myself lucky enough to live close by the LM shop (SF, which is very close by automobile) and try to go as often as I can. My wife and I even went to Forestville on our Honeymoon (in October 2009) especially to get a Marriage Blessing candle dressed for us and to pick up more supplies.
Just recently we made the trip for her 33rd birthday on the weekend of April 4th. That Saturday was a wonderful day for exploring the area and ending up at LM. Sophie was there as usual and we got to see the ever busy and often elusive Cat, herself, busy between readings but helping customers in the tiny amount of downtime she had. My wife Sara picked up some kits and things with her best friend, leaving me to stock up my own supplies.
I have been having a tough time at work. Long story short, I was seriously giving thought to leaving the job ASAP for other work, no matter what might come my way. I had been in line for a better position (that I deserve) for a few years and it was starting to wear me thin, draining me and my energy. Hours were getting cut AND pay was no too great. Even health care had been nixed!
On Sat. the 3rd of this month (April) I bought more John the C oil, went ahead and had a John the C candle blessed/dressed for me, got a small (but beautiful!) John the C root for 'chipping', and got 2 bottles of Hoyts cologne, one for soaking John the C chips in and one for the Rattlesnake Master ( I finally got the last of it!) to soak in.
I waited until Monday, the first day of my work week, got up early, lit the candle, said my words, placed it on my altar with the infused Hoyts and the J the C oil. For mon, tue, wed, and thur I said prayers/words over the candle and shook the Hoyts gently, a few times each day.
On Friday I decided I needed some added protection/barrier/luck and decided to jump the gun a little on the soaking Hoyts. I splashed a little of the J the C imbibed Hoyts on my face and rubbed a little J the C oil on the tops of my hands and my temples. Off to work I went.
I found out not one hour after this, on Friday morning, that I will be managing the entire operation. All previous employees were going to more prosperous places out of state, leaving a completely clean slate for me to start over with. A big raise, all the hours I want, and a chance to do positive things with a job I had all but lost hope with. This changes so much in my life. It will also allow me the money I need to save for the farmhouse and land in Northern Cali. or Oregon that me and my wife want to purchase in the next 10 years.
This news came "out of the blue" and was the complete package. People I hardly talk to more than a handful of times a year came out of the woodwork and not only vouched for me, but really pulled for me getting the position. Everyone leaving is happy, everyone staying is happy---in essence, NO ONE got shafted or is angry or resentful...objects that were obstacles gently moved forward in the best possible way.
Needless to say--- I feel blessed. And for the first time in months I feel truly happy and hopeful for my career and financial future. I just had to share that with you all, and especially YOU Cat... I needed no convincing, but got a much deeper appreciation of the path I chose to follow. Thank you!
