Early Morning AHA! Moments

No matter when I go to sleep, I’m waking up bright and early (while the sun and family are still sleeping) thinking about life. I used to get peeved, eventually it turned to acceptance, lead to understanding I’m up for a reason and now I know I’m about to have some Aha! moments. 

Lately they’ve been about how to make my life “easier”. Maybe that’s what they’ve always been, but instead of listening I was distracting myself reading books or social media. 

In Human Design, which I’m delving deeper into if you haven’t picked up yet, my Head Center is usually complete Open with no Defined Gates/Activations. This Center is the one that determines how much one is “in their head”, looking for answers that often don’t even matter to them. 

Since mine is Open, I camp out in that bitch. Like, set up a tent, have snacks and drinks (cold), take naps and all. If you ask a question, it doesn’t even have to be to me, I’m going to stop what I’m doing and try to figure it out. Don’t let it be a “Life” question either!

As of June 2019, the start of a new personal Cycle, that Center has been fully Defined. I didn’t realize until talking to Halavao that I’d started letting other people figure out the answers to their questions, especially at work and on social media. (They have google just like me, so I let their fingers do the walking!) My “whatever, that ain’t got nothing to do with me” gene kicked in and I like it. 

Hearing other people’s take, when I ask for it (Manifestors initiate), is really great to help see those things I know, but don’t realize. These early morning Aha! sessions are the same. Thoughts, ideas and concepts that play in the back of my mind come out and reveal their truth. 

I’m preparing to be a Human Design Consultant (and apparently “Get Your Business Together” one, too) so that I can help others uncover/rediscover their Superpowers. 

Before I forget, this morning’s Aha! moment was that...shit I forgot, but a new Aha! is that I need to prioritize cementing my Ahas! before I scroll through social media and type long ass posts 😂

INFORMING!!! It came back to me just as I was about to give it up and turn it loose (there’s a message in that!). 

To keep peace, Manifestors inform those around them about what they need and are going to do in advance so that we prevent the disruption of others trying to initiate things with us and/or taking us out of our Flow. Not only is informing part of my Life’s Strategy, it’s also my Life’s Path (Incarnation Cross). This probably explains why my posts are sometimes long and “informative” or why I’ve been called “bossy” 😂



Initiating Manifestor

In Human Design, I’m what’s called a Manifestor, with the role to Initiate. I haven’t followed that Strategy much or consistently. 

We ordered food (2 plates of fried cauliflower and mac & cheese) from a vegan pop up shop for pickup Saturday at 430. We get there and they’re not there. They said they expected me at 4. So we waited to get the food. Since we’re a no contact family, I had them put it in the trunk. 

If you know me, you know I love food, especially spicy wings (vegan now, of course). So my mouth was watering in anticipation of getting into those wings. We get home and there one dinner and not the flavor we ordered. 

I communicate with the guy and he asks if  I want to pick up the plate...which is a 40 minute roundtrip drive. He was supposed to drop it off and it never happened. 

On Monday, he did an Instagram contest for free wings and I entered because I knew I’d “win” since he “owed” me anyway. I win and we set up pickup for same place today. 

I get there and guess who’s a no-show? The man asked if we can drive to his house because his wife has the car. Now first of all, my Husband already didn’t want to deal with them again. I didn’t even tell him about the contest so now I have to ask him to drive “around the corner” to pickup this contest/paid for food? Secondly, why he ain’t just tell us to meet him at the house in the first place? 

I’m kind and sweet, so we picked up the food. On the way home, I messaged (initiated) the man to offer my consulting services to help them get their ordering process more organized. He accepted. 

This is a Black-owned husband and wife operation. I want to see them succeed. I know how difficult having a vegan restaurant, let alone trying to build a customer base, all while Black can be. 

So many of our business close or are “cancelled” because of poor service. I don’t think it’s intentional, just a lack of understanding, organization and training. All things at which I happen to be innately gifted. 

I ain’t NEVER consulted for a business before, but guess who has an LLC and just Monday morning wrote her “Services” section listing “Sounding board when you’re feeling stuck, confused or unheard” as an option (just before being anointed by a hummingbird)? 

I can imagine this family, with at least one young child, sometimes feels stuck as they try to manage their day to day lives and a side hustle. 

Their food is AMAZING and they deserve a chance to succeed. Who better to help than an intuitive Virgo who is loved by babies, old people and animals?
