I have become a lemon orphanage.  For days now, I hear a knock at my door…I open it and look down.  “Hi, I’m Lemon. Life sent me.”  I have been lining them up on my kitchen table; contemplating what to do with my yellow, sour, friends.  I learned my lesson about ignoring them, so ignoring is out.

I finally decided I needed to call Life and have a serious chat.  I told Life that I am grateful to be deemed a person that can give a loving home to these citrusy fruits and find them purpose and solution.  However, my dear friend, Mr. Life, I am tired…..and could use a little guidance, please.

While I was talking to Life, The World called on the other line.  I’ve got a kitchen full of lemons and both, Life and The World on the phone, breathing became difficult and I sat down, lightheaded.  I asked Life to please think about what I said and I will call back after I speak with The World.  I sighed deeply and spoke freely to The World of the honor I feel when my shoulders can be a place of rest.  However, my sweet amigo, Mr. The World, my back is hurting……and so I must find a more appropriate way of doing my part in carrying you.

The World was saddened about my hurting back and told me to take better care of myself or else I would be of no good use to The World…..and The World needs me to continue doing my part.  I made a promise to take care of myself better and thanked The World for loving me.  I hung up with a smile.

I called Life back immediately and before I could talk, Life told me that if I continue to ask for guidance, Life will show me the way.  Life told me to continue accepting the Lemons…and that if I love my Lemons and do not ignore them…but learn from them, I will succeed in whatever I am trying to achieve.

There was a brief rustling and then The Universe was talking to me.  The Universe said that while drinking coffee at Life’s house, it was impossible to ignore the conversation.  The Universe just wanted to tell me that I will manifest whatever I think, say or do……therefore, I must continue on my positive path and The Universe will provide for me.  The Universe wanted to finish having coffee with Life and told me to go do what I need to do and do it the best I can.  Thank you Universe.

Now I looked at my table full of Lemons, I sized them up and said, “Listen kids, I’m tired of lemonade, we’re bout to make some pie”.
