I can tell you the Universe is always conspiring for me to have a full, joyful, life. And I can stand by these words today.
That was not always the case.
Have you ever been in despair, in a place where it is unbelievable that there is a bright side? Or are you simply frustrated over something that you just can’t “see the light” on?
I’ve found that when I want a shift, it doesn’t occur by stopping something.
It comes by replacing it with something else.
By God’s grace, my first experience with this occurred at one of the darkest times in my life. I was at the end of my rope and a dear friend said, “Carri, this has helped me.”
“What?”
I choose joy. I may not see it but God provides it, so I choose it.
I wrote it down and placed it in my pocket and I carried it in my pocket for quite a while.
When I thought I just couldn’t quite take one more thing, I would pull out that tattered note and read it…and it got me to the next point.
Later I would come to know that this opened the door to receiving the joy I am showered with today. It all began with a note in my pocket and the willingness to consider something I couldn’t see…and have faith that it was there independent of me seeing it.
It was there all along.
If you were to place a note in your pocket this week – what would it be? Share it with me here https://carririchard.com/blog
To your joy,
Carri

I’m amazed, I must say. Seldom do I come across a
blog that’s equally educative and engaging, and without a
doubt, you’ve hit the nail on the head. The problem is something
too few men and women are speaking intelligently about.
I am very happy that I found this during my search for something relating
to this.
Viola – so glad you found this and are enjoying it. Thank you for the kind words. Look forward to seeing you here again.
Hmm it appears like your site ate my first comment (it
was extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum it
up what I wrote and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your
blog. I too am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to everything.
Do you have any tips for rookie blog writers?
I’d certainly appreciate it.
Hi Elizabeth thank you so much for recommenting – I’m looking at the limit that is configured and will increase it. My best tips:
1. set aside some regular quiet time to write.
2. sometimes you may be inspired spur-of-the-moment – go with it 🙂
3. write like you are writing to a friend…this can help to get over resistance.
4. Write about what you love!
Hope this helps!
