She Believes! Paint Party Friday

When my daughter was seven she declared that she would travel, but didn't know how that would happen. Her dad and I were never travelers. A few years later she said I would always live with her. She also teased that she would put me in a old age orphanage... that kind of scared me after I stopped laughing!! I'm hoping that the demise of my parents by the time I was thirty-five is what she meant about me being an orphan.......

It always surprised me how mature Ms.Cupcake was at such a young age. She seemed to know things I never taught her.  The way she thinks always give me new perspective. Her innate wisdom still surprises me....and others too!!What she's  taught me over the years is insurmountable.

When she was twelve, two years after my divorce we'd been driving along when she voiced concerns about her dwindling savings.  I told her not to worry things would work out. When we arrived home a call from a neighborhood nurse assured she'd have quite an extensive babysitting job for a few weeks from morning to late at night. It entailed feeding her children and walking them to and from school daily. Money problem solved!

A few years later while volunteering at a haunted house she met a young man who noted her ability to   read  people with great precision! Mature for her age Cupcake knew exactly what kind of music  crowds wanted when she accompanied him Dee-jaying.  A diligent student Cupcake was concerned about finding a placement for  her mandatory 80 hours unpaid work experience. This boyfriend turned Cupcake onto a woman reluctant to hire teens at her Dee-jay company. The owner,  a type "A" personality took Cupcake on, started paying her before the 80 hours were done, then hired her permanent weekends as her eyes and ears. Cupcake was  a production assistant for several wedding parties at a time and a dee-jay where needed. She did well there, and is friends with the owner to this day.

Her first job after high school was a fluke. She was shopping in a store and overheard a girl on the  phone desperate for an employee. Cupcake piped up  that she could work. The manager asked her a few questions, begged her to show up the next day and hired her on the spot without a resume. Cupcake was second in charge within weeks. However, a district manager started to hassle her because of her second job at the golf club. She contemplated quitting the new job because of the unreasonable treatment and loyalty to the other employer.  Meanwhile her manager at the time was being recruited for a new company...but didn't accept the job. Instead she recommended Cupcake. Eight years ago she was hired as a manager by a young women who now owns the company she's working for today! She has traveled all expenses paid all over Canada, to the United States and London twice. Loving each and every trip some of which entailed extensive work and long hours. Even though it can be stressful at times she loves the owner and her job!! This week she's at a trade show in Vegas extended into a short holiday!

There have been many bazaar things Cupcake has put out into the universe  over the years that  have actually manifested in the oddest ways.  She wanted to see  Dr. Hook...who I thought was dead...turned out the band was alive and well, although they are all older than dirt,!  They were in fact scheduled to play  in a small venue on her actual  twenty first birthday....So I bought her tickets...that one boggled my mind!!. For the full story go here!

 On the bus to work she voiced to beardo she had no idea how they would top the Paul McCartney  concert. That night her boss gave her very expensive Oprah tickets for the twelfth row.

Her very expensive  red fluvog boots were starting to wear out, they no longer make them but...she was given a vintage pair of the same boots worn only a couple of times. She had them resoled to update them and has a new pair of her favorite red boots for the price of a new sole!

She has had two brand new smart phones for next to nothing given to her... and so many wonderful opportunities and things come her way. But, to whom much is given, much is expected...this girl is so generous I can't even begin to tell you all she has done for me and others...it is beyond what I imagined a child of mine would be and do!! Somehow she always manifests what she wants because she believes!!

Cupcake paid 9 dollars for these $180.00 ugly beige shoes and painted them to suit her fancy!

I too believe, however I have not manifested to the degree my daughter has, or maybe I have!  Do you believe and manifest what you truly want?  Or does something hold you back!!

This is my contribution to the wonderful Paint Party Friday!
