🪐 Synchronicity and Second Chances

Welcome to Sacred Musings, a space where I share reflections from the heart on love, life, caregiving, and the lessons that shape us into who we are. My hope is that these words bring comfort, perspective, and inspiration to anyone walking their own path of healing and growth.

Last weekend, my son and I were talking. He asked how long I thought my current work schedule would remain sustainable. Then, with the kind of honesty that only love can deliver, he said I should start slowing down now that I’m 50. All I could think about were my dreams. But he was right. He is right. My current work schedule isn’t sustainable. I want to work closer to home, my lovely home, the one I created for myself. Second time’s a charm! And wouldn’t you know it, synchronicity showed up right on time. I received an offer to interview for a position similar to my current role here in Oakland, but this one is closer to home. Even though I just started my job two months ago, it hasn’t been ideal, to say the least. Orientation was supposed to be three days but ended up being two. Another woman and I were led to an office, given desks, laptops, and cell phones and that was it. No formal training, no guidance, no roadmap. I’ve had to figure out my job entirely on my own. In spite of that, I probably would have stayed quietly where I am case managing during the day, working on-call at night, and struggling to get over my love addiction. But this opportunity feels different. The distance will help me let go, move on once and for all, and open up to new and better people, things, and opportunities.

Here’s to conversations with recruiters at 3 PM 🤞🏾

Sometimes, the universe whispers through our loved ones, through fatigue, through longing, and through chance encounters that align perfectly with our next chapter. I’m learning to listen and to trust that what’s meant for me will always find its way home.
