PAUSE, LISTEN, & FOLLOW

by Natalie

Yesterday I was running errands and stopped to get a drive-thru
smoothie. I ordered, drove around to the window and the girl took my
money without saying one word. The window closed and she was gone.

I was in a hurry, but patiently waited, Pausing with each passing
moment. While I waited, I heard my Inner Wisdom telling me to share
a Pause for Love card with her, so I got one out and had it ready.

Then, I hear my cubicle-self starting to wrangle with the idea… “she
doesn’t seem very open, she seems rushed, I don’t want to be pushy, I
don’t have time, I’m in a hurry”, etc, etc. The funny thing is, the
smoothie took SO long that I had the opportunity to work through all
of my silly excuses. I kept hearing Inspiration Within telling me to
follow this guidance, to Just DO It, and to not be afraid. 

She finally came back to the window and I hear her apologize for the
wait as she hands me my smoothie. I tell her it’s no problem, I thank
her, and I hand her the Pause for Love card and say, “I just wanted to
share some love with you today”. She thanked me and turned away ~ I
could see her reading it as the window closed.

Pause for Love
Wherever I am ~ Whatever I am doing
Whomever I am With

Shared from the Pause Golden Book, Page 5:

Love is applicable to all situations, in all environments, relationships,
conversations, discussions and actions in the world. It does not have a
special place all its own — you are Love’s place. Wherever you find you,
there Love is. Wherever you stumble upon Love, there you are. Such is
why Love is applicable and darn right useful in every circumstance of
life in the world. Love heals what you thought could not be healed,
loves what you thought could not be loved.
