You are reading from the book “Just Quit” & Live
Q: Why do you want to quit your job EVEN if you don’t have another job lined-up?
I’m tired. I need a break. I have to take care of my ailing dad.

Today’s Meditation:
We are sure of one thing. We are alive.
We are in this body and we are alive.
We don’t know what happens after we are no longer alive and are no longer in this body. Nobody really knows.
While we are alive and in this body we need to do what is important to us. We need to take care of people who are important to us. We need to make tough decisions to be true to ourselves.
Maybe today is the day we decide: “I need to…” and then we just do it.
P.S.
This past weekend at an art show a lady came up to my booth that I recognized from the last time I showed at that location and she recognized me. We exchanged greetings. I told her I recognized her and she told me she thought I looked familiar but I looked younger. Now, that will make anybody happy to hear! She then said that she had something she wanted to share with me.
She came over behind my booth and shared the below story with me:
A couple of months ago, one morning her husband could not wake her up. She was unresponsive and unconscious and they thought she was dead. She said during that time there was NOTHING for a long period of time, then something clicked and her mind understood what was happening to her. She said she recognized it as: “She was dying.” That is what was happening to her. Then she said she saw all these people running and they were in some sort of uniforms. They were running towards something. Then this overwhelming “sense” came over her and she got the message to just “Let Go”. That was the message: “Let Go and Let God”. Not to worry about anything or to listen to the thinking mind, just let go of all of that. She said she came to after she had been rushed to the hospital and they worked on reviving her. She stayed in the hospital for a week while they ran tests. They never found out why she was unconscious. The only thing is that now she needs a cane to walk, BUT she said she was just grateful and thankful to be alive…to see another day…but she wasn’t afraid not to be alive. I asked her if she thought she had a life-after-death experience and she said no, she didn’t believe that is what it was.
She said she thought I’d appreciate her experience based on my artwork. She then went back to the front of my booth and read some of my signs…Let Go, Hope, and Accept What Is…she smiled and said God Bless You and walked away.
I don’t know if I’ll EVER see that lady again. I don’t know if I’ll EVER show at the location again, BUT her story will always stay with me and gave me another confirmation that LETTING GO is one of the lessons to be learned while we are having this earthly experience.
