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?
