It was a tiring trip. Took a straight flight from Manila to LA, then LA to Dallas. First time to take this route and got myself safely “home” to the hotel.
I was wondering all throughout the trip how “support” will pick me up. There was no specifics just that it will be waiting by the baggage claim area. I got there waiting to claim my luggages then the phone call. Wearing a suit with a gold tie, he called while waving at me saying he will just be there and will wait for me. Told him I might take a few minutes because I was waiting for my bags. It was Sami. He was the driver assigned for me.
Then we started our trip from the airport to the hotel.
SAMI. He was warm and personable and ‘had stories’ to tell. He told me he is Jordanian and has good Filipino friends. He wants to visit the Philippines. He is not scared of asking question and you could tell, he is well updated with growth in the area and world happenings.
Then all I knew we were just chatting – about population, how one place is growing and how one place is getting smaller, to impacts of war and the quest for peace: we talked about discipline how it is critical for success, how balance is important to ensuring we have “lived” our lives; we talked about how our parents played a big role in setting us up for success (I was telling him of anecdotes from childhood about my mom and dad) and he told me stories of his dad; we talked about chakras and why it is important to pay attention to what messages we are receiving from the Universe (he knows this, too! Can you imagine my excitement on this conversation?);
He is also a believer that nothing happens as a coincidence, that there is a GRAND PLAN – Everything meant to happen will happen. It was an enjoyable 40min ride from the airport!
Angels are around us in forms of family, people around us, and even strangers! Last month, I met Nicole from NY, and now on my first day, I have met Sami. I maybe feeling physically tired, but my heart is grateful appreciating the little conversations and being listened to. What a warm welcome in the midst of 9°C weather!
