Miracles (Let it go and it comes back to you)

I had never Flown out of the country and when opportunity presented itself...you are right, I wanted it.
I realy wanted to be on a plane because it was an experience that I had long wished for and it was me who
had to make the choice of who was to attend the training in South Africa.No one would realy complain if I chose to go, it was an understanding that was not discussed but assumed to be so.
I took time to think through the issues. I later decided that a field officer would go!Surprised as he was, he was excited!
They made all the arrangements to go and booked their flights...but a month before they left came the shock of my life.
One of our donors, African Women Development Fund, sent in a Letter to say there was a trip to South Africa! and with this one, there was no need of making a decision because it was clear who was supposed to go - me!
Whats more, I was allowed to go with my 5 months Old baby, everything paid for and in a more better plane than what my collegues would use inclusive of this I was staying in the Crown Plaza! Imagine that!!
Yes, you are correct, I was as happy as a child who just received the present they have been wishing for. And what was more ironic,the dates of the two trips were in the same week.
So tell me...Whats not a Miracle about that!
I let it go and it came right back!!!

I love this! You so thoughtfully allowed someone else this wonderful opportunity and then the world conspired to reward you for your great kindness. What a cycle of good karma! And to be able to share this fortune with your baby - I am so happy for you. Thank you for sharing this story!

Opportunities
Sharo,
From your story I hear your ability to give and accept. You willingly handed an opportunity to a colleague with a quick reply from the world that an even sweeter offer was on hand.
A big wide world we share - you have an open spirit, heart, and mind to accept, explore, and relish!
What a gift.
Thanks for sharing your story!

To share i know is something
To share i know is something difficult to learn and give in completely especially when you know that when you give you shall remain with nothing. But you know what...it is a trait that i have come to see often in women. They have learned to love selflessly.
Thankyou for the compliment Laura.
Warm regards,
I know it's true
Sharo,
I see that trait in women as well. I guess if you give selflessly, you expect nothing in return. I see that in my mom a lot.
Great to think about selfless giving.
Good to chat.
