Serendipity!



Serendipity

As I walked into this house on Wichman Street, Walterboro South Carolina, I felt as it was serendipity that bought us here. Unintentionally finding a piece of valuable property by happen chance seemed incredibly fortunate. To make a discover as such was fascinating because this neglected home needed some tender loving care and hard work!

Primed for the right person to help it regain its original beauty was the nightly dreams of this magnificent structure. To assist it's foundation to it's original strength was the work of strong, hard working men. Many long, arduous days looked forward to pleasant evenings when soaking in a claw foot tub would be relaxing. 

This journey was getting more exciting daily as we met the people of this small, charming community.  The young men and women in this Southern town is very polite and always address us as Ma'am or Sir.  It is a refreshing change.  To witness and to be part of recreating this home that was built in 1890 was intoxicating. 

The historical  make-up of this little town dates back to 1783 where families would come to Walterboro to escape malaria and other diseases from the low country marshlands.  Many occasions I had the uncanning feeling like I was here before.  Was it serendipity that brought us here or was it fate?  The development of events beyond a person's control, determined by a supernatural power, a higher power is explained by this lovely word fate. 

Our egos tell us that we choose our situations.  We set goals and work hard to fulfill them. Then we experience  deja vu. You meet someone special or land that perfect job that was suited just for you.  You feel the divine guidance of something that is bigger or more powerful than you.  You feel the love and you succumb to it.  You laugh at yourself for thinking that you were in control.  You tell me, is Life serendipitous or is it FATE!

Fragrance of Loving!

Fragrance of Loving! I sometimes get a swift smell of the fragrance of loving .  My heart opens wide and there is not a thing in sight that I'm not in love with.  These moments are however:  very fleeting!  It comes and goes and some moments are so intense that all I see is my own volatile state. Today is a day of beauty!  I feel and taste the sweet scent of life.  I wish that this day, this moment, this second could last forever.  I wonder why this feeling is so intense at times and lesser at other times.  I noticed that when I try to recapture these moments on my own accord, I feel uneasy and unnatural. Then one sweet morning, I awaken to such "LOVE" and "KNOWING" that it's almost impossible to describe!  I get the sense that if only this would last forever.  If only I could share with all the people that I encounter, for we are all brothers and sisters.  But words won't come, opportunities are stifled and the moment passes.

Balance!

Balance I have a mentor that has taught me a valuable lesson.  She was having brain surgery and the scheduled operation was a month away.  Can you imagine that!  There was a lot of undue stress in that waiting period. She decided that she had nothing to lose and everything to gain if she would start having a relationship with God.  She didn't know where to begin because her life was focused on a successful career and God wasn't included.  So she simply PRAYED!   She reached out into nothingness and decided to have faith that God heard her. She decided there was a reason she was having this experience. The foundation of her life was shaken to the core. It was time to slow down and prioritize her life because there may not be more time for her.  She wanted to start Anew. Balance became the topic that occupied her mind.  She bought a planner and set new goals.  Goals that would have meaning--such as including FAMILY into her busy work schedule. She set time schedul
