Feng Shui This | Evelyn’s Dump Truck

Evelyn's Dump Truck

I have a friend who has passed her mid 80′s.  You might think of her as old … until you meet her.  Evelyn has had an amazing life, and continues to look forward to amazing things!   A few months ago she decided she wanted a dump truck.  Imagine that!  Even she had no idea why or what she would do with it.  But, she followed that urge and bought one at an amazing low price.   Soon after, she decided she wanted a backhoe, and sure enough, a fantastic deal came up and she bought one.  Now we’re all wondering what in the world is going on with Evelyn!  Not only is she buying heavy equipment, she’s getting it at unheard of prices!

She explained it this way; These promptings have been coming from God and she’s just going with them.  I have to agree…He must be wanting Evelyn to start a new business.

She’s already got me working.  She and I work together and produce little children’s books.  So far we have them on ebooks for the Nook and Kindle, but we’re growing and they’ll be available soon in print.  So, I was having fun just trying to keep up with her ideas on the little books we are producing.   I have no artistic talent, so I do the artwork … Evelyn claims to have no writing talent, so she does the poetry.  Yes, you read it right.

Anyway, she’s been tossing poems at me faster than I can illustrate them.  Now she’s got another partner who’s starting a mulch business with her and … you got it … they’ll need a dump truck and a backhoe.  Call it intuition if you like … but I think the fact that she listened to the promptings that brought her to own heavy equipment … says a lot for her ability to pay attention when that “still small voice” speaks to us.  Opportunities must be welcomed and nurtured, else they’ll pass by us, never to return.

I’m learning a lot from Evelyn, and enjoying the experience tremendously!
