My heart is delighted to think of this experience again. Correct timing puts you in the right place to meet the best person for your greatest opportunity, if you are open and willing to engage.

Some opportunities are not meant for everyone. It is important to distinguish which ones are meant for you. Trust your intuition, it knows.
