Listen to Intuition

Back to blogging… back to writing… and back to ‘lessons learned’… from my kid. I cannot believe how many lessons I have learn from my daughter.  I have written several blog entries about her and what she has taught me.  Well… she strikes again.  This time she teaches me about listening and intuition… gut feelings, shall we say.  She caught me three times this summer and I did not listen.  The first time happened when we were in Vancouver and I was trying to text my sister.  My kid insisted that I call her.  I did not want to interrupt my sister at work.  As it turned out, I was texting my sister’s iPad at home, not her phone…  Doh… should have called.  The second time was at a neighbourhood BBQ.  We brought a cake to say thank you.  The host put the cake in the fridge.  My kid asked me where the cake was.  We had just finished the BBQ and it was time for dessert.  I said not to worry, the host has a plan.  Sure enough, the host totally forgot about it.  Doh… should have asked.  Finally, I was getting ready for a meeting and wanted to wear a particular scarf.  I could not find it and totally bewildered.  My daughter opted to pull out the drawer of the dresser.  I asked her what she was doing.  Sure enough, my scarf was stuck in the back of the dresser behind the drawer.  Doh… could have looked there myself.  Well, you know how things go… if you don’t figure out the lesson, it just keeps repeating itself until you do…  Listen to intuition.
