The eagle-eyed amongst you will notice that it’s now officially not Monday anymore. That’s because every single thing that I had planned for today, ended up not happening, and a whole lot of other things happened instead!

The card I picked this morning as inspiration for us all for the day and week ahead is:

Surrender
I allow myself to surrender control
and open to the gifts life offers me

Well, sometimes things just don’t go the way we plan, and we can either keep struggling and fighting, or we can let go, surrender, and see what unfolds for us instead.

Early on today, when my day was starting to unravel, I grumbled to my man: “you’ll never guess what bloody card I picked today…!” Up until that moment I was still trying to control my day and the card helped me have a laugh at myself and then just let go of all the preconceived ideas I’d had about what should or shouldn’t be happening, and simply enjoy what is, and find out what unplanned delights my day had in store for me instead.

So what if the international phone call I thought I was having this morning didn’t happen? I got to grab a few precious moments with my man instead. So what if I didn’t get to do all my work (and write my Monday post) until after midnight? I got to spend some important time my friend and her lovely baby. So what if my evening plans were cancelled out from under me? I got to hang out with another of my best friends and do some great work together instead.

It’s good to plan, but it’s also good to not hold on too tightly. 

Have a great week and let yourself surrender some of that control and see what magic Life has up its sleeve for you. And do let me know what this card means for you today!
