For the past few weeks, things have been up and down and all around. I could feel the shift coming. It was a good time to take a week and go to New England to visit my beautiful daughter.
There were lots of epiphanies, awakenings, knowings. I felt the small earthquakes, several of them. Felt discontent, joy, fresh, crisp morning air and walks with my daughter.
Often it is in the return home that things come to light. The five Carolina wren eggs on my front porch have not hatched. Yet. Any day now.
This morning began with a call to Directv to see if they would alter the $35 a month increase for the same service I began with one year ago on the 20th. They say I signed a two year contract. I do not recall or see that anywhere in my notes the day I signed up with them. I do recall the nasty, threatening, harassing sales person on the other end. It was one long and unnecessary beat down the customer conversation. I decided it was time to end this relationship and cancelled them altogether. They sat I owe a $200 discontinuation fee. I say see me in small claims court. I will contact AARP about this. Even cancelling this company took 30 minutes.
My therapist provided a lovely massage, releasing, freeing, moving. Then I took my friend out for her birthday lunch to her favorite restaurant in town. It is always fun being with her. Two friends for many years. Sharing a lifetime of mysteries and fun.
I must admit to finding it difficult dealing with people who are not honorable or kind. There are too many of them. They raise my blood pressure to high levels. I know I must walk the walk and truly wish them some since of honor. Karma is an awful thing. Laws of Physics and all.
It was/is a hard lesson to learn. Listening to your gut and stay away from companies who do business in ways that do not honor your highest good. My evenings will return to the peace I had one year ago. I hesitated to contact these folks. Next time, now...I listen louder.
namaste y'all
