Finding a hand in unusual places

Yesterday at the gas station I stepped out my car to see this.

I was having a pretty rough day,

actually it's been a pretty rough

couple of months and I had just been

thinking.....I sure could use a hand!

I guess my message to the universe was

received LITERALLY :)

I smiled, and was grateful for

the moment of joy.

Most times we don't have all

the answers.

Often times we don't have any,

however, sometimes we simply need

to know there is a hand

out there somewhere that can help.

When I first learned of Hillary's addiction

I knew nothing, and there were very

few folks talking about it.

I felt alone

I learned very quickly that I was not,

the more I spoke out and spoke up;

the more I learned that if everyone spoke out

there would be a lot more "hands"

to help.

In the time since then;

the stigma associated with this disease

has diminished.

It is being pulled out of the shadows

and into the light. There are so many more

hands offering help in so many

more ways.

In the light things change,

miracles do happen,

our friends and families get the help

they desperately need

and we are not alone.

This I know for certain;

Our family, which includes all of you

is strong, kind, courageous, loving,

smart, forgiving and powerful.

Please, when you see a hand

reach out for it and

when you don't see a hand

ask the universe for it

and look....it is right there,

just waiting to be found.

All knowing

universal spirit of love,

thank you for all the ways

you have placed helping hands

in the world to share

your messages of hope.

When I am feeling lost,

please help me to find the way

toward your light.

It is there that I will find peace

and the reminder

that I am never alone.

I know you will

provide the support

I need to get through this day,

all the days of this life

and for all eternity.

Your hands are everywhere,

show me the way.

Amen

Always and forever with love, k
