Do you believe in "miracles"?

I haven't been on the cs site much lately as I have been extremely busy experiencing true miracles. What you say; miracles don't really happen. Well for years I believed that too until I closed my eyes and opened my heart to blessings instead of bitterness and self-pity. The only purpose of this blog is to share personal miracles with you and encourage an epidemic as cs members share their own miracles with each other. I will share just a few brief highlights to spare readers from focusing on what I have to say and instead open the floodgates to an exchange of "miraculous life changing events" that have impacted your lives. Chirstmas Eve I was blessed to have performed the Bach/Gounod Ave Maria in Latin accompanied by a tremendous pianist and cellist. This one public performance has led to a new musical adventure beyond my wildest dreams. Two days after Christmas I traveled out on a leisurely drive with my dog and stumbled upon a serene home surrounded by timber and a small river and breathtaking beauty. After giving up hope of ever finding another home to call my own, the small estate was purchased and paid for in cash yesterday. Today I was approached about a new professorship that I thought was out of my realm of reality. How could any of these three miracles and most unlikely events occur out of impossibility, especially to someone who has never considered themselves much on the lucky side? The answer is simple. I was blessed with three miracles in a short period of time not because I so richly deserved them, but because I surrendered myself and my self-centeredness and turned to reliance on something far more powerful and wonderful and imprtant than I could ever be. Have you ever been blessed with a miracle, or two or three? Start the miracle ball rolling toward the countdown to the New Year and share your miracles with others to help them regain hope in despair, faith in broken times and a renewed sense of what life can truly offer when you let go of fear and accept that "impossible dreams" can come true!
