This is actually Hell Yes Part 3 because it’s an update. Very interesting things are happening. The Universe is turning up the heat (or speeding up the current as my friend, Abe, would say).
First and foremost, I am thrilled to report that there is light at the end of the Trailer Loading with Lucky Bucky saga. Last night, I did my first aromatherapy session with him. He was not very cooperative but I hung in there and did what I felt was right then walked away for a few minutes.
I had the trailer parked in front of the barn so I finished unloading my tack from trail riding with friends on Saturday. Saturday, I loaded his girlfriend, Daisy, first then loaded him. Both times, he was a champ. So last night I decided to up the ante. After letting him soak for a few minutes after the aromatherapy session, my friend arrived so while I was chatting with her, I calmly walked him over to the open trailer and offered for him to go in alone. Daisy and the others were in their stalls. He walked in calmly as you please. I let him stand for a few seconds then motioned him into position and shut the divider. He was still calm as could be.
As a reward, I got Daisy and loaded her in behind him. She always loads easily. So I shut the door and went to get the special treats I had prepared. They got treats while in the trailer with the door shut. I was doing my best not to hoot and holler so I calmly asked my friend, under my breath, “Did you just see what happened here?” She said yes and we kept on talking just like the SMBHITW has always loaded that easily. For those of you who have been on this journey with me – and it has been my journey and not Lucky Bucky’s – you know how huge last night was.
Secondly, when I told the Universe about a month ago that I was just going to show up, be who I am and only say Yes to Hell Yesses, the Universe had a wonderful response. The Universe said, “Really?!?!? That’s the way you want it? Let’s see how dedicated you are to that . . .”
Things have been interesting (to say the least) since then. The Universe has sent everyone that can hook me or trigger me to attempt to do so. For the most part, I’ve passed with flying colors and remained steadfast in my resolve. It helps to have a strong vision of what I want. Lucky Bucky has taught me that. In instances where I would waiver, I’m lucky I have friends who help me keep my boat floating downstream. They are truly my lifesavers.
The Universe just keeps asking the question and I’m doing my best to keep answering. I keep telling myself things like: Focus on what you want and ignore the rest. If I get to just show up and be who I am then I must allow others to just show up and be who they are. It’s not my job to help others get it . . . unless they sincerely ask.
So far so good. I’m trying to keep others from putting their crap in my bucket and trying to keep from attempting to do the same to them. I have some winter projects to focus on and am gathering information and resources for those. I’m working through any Drama Llama moments I might want to have and keeping those to a minimum. My favorite question to ask myself has become: Are the thoughts I’m having right now building a bridge to the past or a bridge to the future?
I might just out-Yoda that Damn Donkey yet!
