There's a saying - Rejection is God's Protection. Trust it's happening for your highest good.

I just love this, David - "Rejection doesn't define your worth – it redirects your path".

Thanks Arati! I think we all need to remind ourselves of this in moments when things don’t go our way!^_^

Thank you, David. I always know when I've written a heavy post and I need a pick me up, I can come to your 'home' here and leave with a smile and a full heart.

Keep doing what you do --it's perfect and looked favorably on every day.

David Nam's avatar

That truly means more to me than you know! I'm so grateful this space can be a little refuge for you, and I’m honored to share it with you every day C.J.!^_^

We drove to go shopping and I felt agitated due to the rising of pressure and the clouds gathered in the sky.

I sat on my hands and tried to control my breathing, when I looked out my passenger side window and saw several feral cat looking back at me--keeping direct eye contact with me as we drove past them --like they were communicating with me to not have the body of a frightened kitty. To be brave!

Sounds kinda funny 🤭

I know I've been missed by a feral female black cat, when she follows the car I'm a passenger in, looking at me as we drive back home! 🏡 As if making sure we're going to our house!

About Kitty Baths....My kitty was sitting on the edge of the tub while I was taking a bath. She reached down to catch a bubble and fell in....and was OUT in about 1/2 second. And I was left bleeding in the tub. I continued to love her for the next 18 years.

David Nam's avatar

Oh my goodness, what a moment that must have been! Startling and painful and yet so perfectly “cat,” and I love that through it all you cherished her for another 18 years. Thanks for sharing this Marianna!^_^

Thank you David

I really like this piece of PROFOUND wisdom: "Rejection doesn't define your worth – it redirects your path". Taking this to heart, David, opens up new pathways, new growth and preserves your agency and integrity. Long ago, I once did not get a job I thought I wanted. The job I finally got was SO much better than the first one. Love, Maria

David Nam's avatar

Maria, thank you for sharing that, really well said! You gave a great example of how not getting something we want can actually lead us to something even better. So glad that message meant so much to you!^_^
