An amazing coincidence happened to me recently. I always read for about a half hour before falling asleep each night. I was sorting through my books and filled several boxes to take donate. Then I put all of the business and “mindset” books I had purchased but had not yet read on a shelf in my bedroom. So last night I decided to start a short book, and picked up “Creating Affluence” by Deepak Chopra, M.D.
I opened the book, and on the first page was a handwritten note. I was shocked to realize that I had received this book in 1997 and that it was a birthday gift from my son Mike. This was a very special find, since Mike passed away in 2007. Here is his message:
01/11/97
Dear Mom,
This is my hint to you at how independence from the things that imprison us can be found. I hope you enjoy as much as I have. Have a wonderful birthday.
Love, Mike
At that point I could not read through my tears, but I did realize that my mind was not ready for this book in 1997. In fact my mind was not even ready for it last year. But now I am on a new journey, one that my son would have definitely approved of. He is guiding me on my way as an entrepreneur!
