Universe in Conspiracy
For over ten years now, I have been an active member of a Catholic prayer group, the CLC (Christian Life Community) and have been guiding the youth in helping them see God in all things. But in all honesty, though I do recognize my blessings, this is the first year perhaps that I truly saw and felt the universe cooperate with my needs and wants so evidently. About 2 weeks before June, I found myself really dead and unable to do any business matter any longer. My energy was just so zapped for the past three years that I missed the young blood and energy of teaching terribly. The profession that I've always felt I was made for. This seems to be the usual nostalgia that hit me every summer when I know classes are about to open in June but I'm tied to the business. So, knowing that my chances of getting accepted was slim cause ICA, I know does not accept part-timers anymore and I was booked to leave for the 2 week World Youth Day celebration in July,no school would want me. I just texted my former coordinator Paula Reyes to express my intent. Low and behold! They were still in need of a teacher! They were willing to take me despite the baggages that I came along with! I was allowed to teach part time and STILL be absent for two weeks for Australia! So,my schedule became such that I would be at the office in the morning , go and teach for 2 hours 4x a week, go back to the office and work on my lesson for the following day after office hours or which is more or less after dinner. Leave to exercise until about 10:30pm and back to work again. Usually, my day would end at 2 am. So, longer hours but the two hours a day truly gave me so much more energy! So anyway, aside from all those grants, how did the universe cooperate? Whenever it will really be a very busy week in school, things would be lighter at work and vice versa. Just like how timely it was to have the sembreak at a time that things got very busy in the office! Who would have any hold on those things such as circumstances right??? And STILL able to insert a weekend business trip to Singapore in the middle of the year by taking an evening flight and back on Monday because I had no class on Mondays! BEAT THAT!And I even didn't have to prepare while in Singapore because we were just going to have film viewing when I get back. Who could imagine for a teacher having the luxury of doing business and inserting trips in the middle of the school year! My schedule is even so perfect that I am not behind lessons because my hours are not bumped off by school activities. My partner Kat would always tease me for being so lucky with my sched. I just answer, It's the universe cooperating :) A scenario like this sounds close to impossible for teachers. This is really a year where I could not ask for anything more, to have ALL these in ONE! Hearing my schedule, it sounds tough, but really, I feel emotionally lighter and my hours in school is like playtime :) Something that I just really had to do for myself. It is really the Universe conspiring to my advantage! THANK GOD in the truest sense of the PHRASE!

As Coelho wrote, "When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it." Obviously teaching is truly your Personal Legend, Elyse! =D I'm really happy for you (and a bit jealous of you too, haha). I hope that one day I'll be able to juggle teaching and the family business the way you're doing now. :)
