Getting ready to go to the post office, I imagined that I might be helped by the postal clerk in the Holding Space for Another blog post (April 13th). So, I decided to take a few Inner Resources cards with me to pass along to her, just in case. Thoughts ran through my mind on the drive over including, “I trust whatever happens is meant to be.”
At the door of the post office, I was filled with anticipation and curiosity; then after walking in I gasped. For the first time in 35 years, I was the only person there besides the clerk I was hoping to see! I was stunned and elated as I approached the window, to be greeted by the clerk who was looking down and looking upset about something she was working on. Her stress energy was palpable.
We got through my transaction quickly and after her, “Have a good day,” I pulled the Inner Resources cards GRATITUDE and HOPE out of my purse and gave them to her. I said, “I want you to have these because you’ve helped me before and I appreciate you.” Looking first at the back of the HOPE card, she said with a total shift in her energy, “I really needed this! Thank you, beautiful!”
Leaving the post office, I was struck by how everything came together so perfectly and how powerful it was to give an unexpected gift of kindness at the right time to someone who loved and appreciated it. This has inspired me to carry an Inner Resources Card Deck with me so that I am able to give single cards away if/when opportunities present themselves. So, stay tuned for future stories.
P.S. If and when this feels right, we invite you to do the same and share your acts of kindness with the MoveMindfully community.
