A Hug From Nelson Mandela
Today a woman came into my shop. I own a body, mind, spirit establishment. Often people come in to chat and be within the peaceful energy created here. This particular woman has come in a few times before this, and we have created a quick bond. We have similar emotional backgrounds.
We had a long chat that ended with me talking about Nelson Mandela - that he chose after being imprisoned for 27 years - to honor himself by releasing himself from the inner prison we so often find ourselves in. I am sure that he, too lived a life of many ups and downs. Then - because my life is just this way - she told me about being in a professional dance troop.
After a particular performance and as she was getting ready to leave, she was staring at the floor when she saw two feet standing in front of her. Nelson Mandela. He hugged her. She said he was shining. We all have the ability to shine and to choose to release ourselves from the inner prison that we have chosen. We can choose to give our best anyway and to KEEP choosing.
