Hey friends,
I want you to meet my client (and now new friend) Junior.
A year ago I helped him renew his car licence but this week he resurrected this little business of mine by contacting me again.
I've been working as a volunteer at a magickal place called Saraloosa Farm near Caledon and Hermanus for about 5 months now and this little business was one of the things I had to leave behind in order to do that.
Or at least I thought so.....
Junior didn't know I had gone to live on a farm, he just remembered me from a year ago and asked me to renew his car licence again for him now.
I find that amazing because he sent me a WhatsApp message on Tuesday while I happen to be in Cape Town so that I can reapply for my disability grant. If he contacted me just 1 week earlier I wouldn't have been able to do the work for him because I would have been 2 hours drive away on the farm.
And because I found out that I have to be in Cape Town, away from the farm, for quite a bit longer than I originally thought and planned.....being able to do this work (and get paid!) is a actually a massive deal and such a huge blessing! πβ€οΈβ
On the farm I need very little money because there is so much provided by the farm but I'm able to buy ci******es and maybe a little beer with my grant money during the month. This month I'm not receiving my grant because it expired in November.
I was getting super anxious about the situation I was in because I had to figure out how to survive in the city without any money because without a grant payment this month I was broke, but not just broke.......I was broke and no idea how to change that.
So long story short, when I received Junior's message it literally felt like my prayers were being answered. Just as I was at my most desperate, not knowing I was gonna do it, Junior gave me an opportunity to support myself though the next couple of weeks! THANK YOU JUNIOR! πβ€οΈπ
If you have a few minutes please watch the live I did yesterday π In it I also talk about how this miracle helped me make the decision to relaunch this brand and keep it alive even while I'm at the farm. So please watch it and let me know what you think of my idea to partner with people in Cape Town looking for this kind of work.
Wow, OK.... I just wrote an essay! Forgive me ππ But it was important for me to express how much this interaction means to me. I believe in a practice called where I use Facebook to tell people what I'm grateful for. I think of it almost like a public journal documenting my life that tells the story of my life by the things that I'm grateful. I just feel like a meeting, a reconnection like this was worth recording.
OK I really have written too much already so I better stop! If you have read all the till here then you rock I love you! β€οΈβPoo
Thank you for reading this ramble of gratitude πβ€οΈπ
