I'm obsessed with glitter and all things sparkly. I found an amazing silver glitter nail polish at Claire's – yes, the store for 10-year-olds – and I wear it all the time.
Then a few weeks later after passing her drivers permit test, my 16-year-old hugged me in pure joy and knocked my last bottle of glittery sparkly silver nail polish out of my hand – yes I was painting my nails at the RMV – and it shattered all over the floor and splattered silver glitter all over the RMV.
I always leave a little trail of myself - and sparkles – everywhere I go.
I went to Claire's to buy another bottle and gasp! They don't have it anymore. I was like, "WHERE is my silver glitter nail polish?" And the sweet woman working there (who knows me because what other adult buys silver glitter nail polish for herself) said, "We don't have that anymore - but we have THIS."
She handed me a bottle of a very different silver glitter nail polish. The glitter is fine and teeny and it ain't gonna work for me. It's just not the same! Yeah, I've tried it before, and it's not the same. My friend Jen knows what I'm talkin' about because we've had the fine versus chunky glitter nail polish discussion.
Hmmmmmpppfff. No. I don't want anything to do with that fine silver glitter nail polish.
Then the Claire's employee sweetly suggested a new manicure set which includes clear nail polish and multicolored chunky glitter and a little brush. You put the clear nail polish on and then put the glitter onto that with the little brush.
I was like, "But that glitter is multicolored. I don't want multicolored. I want SILVER."
Read: resistance.
Since she is a part of my Universal team, she persisted. With love.
Very long silver glitter nail polish story short, I bought it, kept the receipt because I thought I would not like it, and put it on in the car on the way home. Can you say instantitus?
You know what I'm going to say. It looks so much better then the silver and I laughed as I thought of my resistance.
This is what I teach all day every day and I still have resistance at times.
And so do you.
What magical sparkly amazing thing is the Universe sending you now that you are resisting because it doesn't look exactly the way that you thought or think it will look?
