Last Saturday, hours before I was to leave for Denver to hear Sonia Choquette speak, I lost my ticket. The same ticket I’d put away in my file drawer – safely.

Denver was the first stop of her new tour, Soul Purpose and Soul Lessons. I’d bought my ticket six weeks ago after hearing her for the first time in Ft. Collins Colorado. Sonia is an edgy, to the point, in your face speaker, yet she conveys her message with love and lightheartedness. She is definitely one of the most enjoyable speakers I’ve seen – ever.

I was excited about going up with a friend and reenergizing myself and my connection to my work.

As I was preparing to leave early the next morning, I opened the file with the ticket. I pulled out my credit card receipt and the directions, but no ticket. I opened the file folder and turned it inside out, upside down.

No ticket.

I opened the file again, I held the receipt and the directions in my hand, but where was the ticket?

I went through every other file in my drawer – twice - no ticket.

Near tears, I called to my husband, “Will you please look through these files and find my ticket”.

I pulled out all the files, one by one and felt along the bottom and sides of the drawer, I went to another file drawer in another room and started searching there. My husband went through our travel files in case I’d had a moment where I believed this qualified as a ‘trip’ somewhere. (Denver is about an hour away).

Picking up the receipt and the directions I tried to separate the ticket I just knew must be attached.. I called my friend on the phone. Do you have my ticket?

I cleaned my car – thoroughly – and I guess it needed it, but still no ticket.

It was time to follow my own advice.

First I sat down and cried. After a moment I thought about all the fun things I could do by myself for a day in Denver. I started to feel grateful for loosing my ticket so I could visit a museum there and take a long walk.

I felt grateful for the lesson of learning to let go. I felt in my heart how it would feel to have a whole day to window shop, and to walk and think. I felt grateful.

Looking up toward my ceiling, I yelled, “If I’m supposed to see Sonia Choquette in Denver tomorrow find my ticket!

I resolved to by happy and grateful for any outcome.

HA! HA! My heart wasn’t buying it. I was still agitated.

My mind was working on gratitude, but my heart wasn’t there.

I started to breathe, deeply, five long deep breathes without thought. Five long meditative breathes.

You can’t stay in fear if you breathe, I’ve been teaching this a while and it is also one of Sonia’s lessons. Breathe, connect with your body, connect with your heart. Listen to your inner self.

My ears were open. My heart was open, My third eye was open.

Where was my ticket?

I asked my guides for help, but I wasn’t in a clear space – I could feel my disappointment and agitation and my intention was to see Sonia. My mind was racing – if an answer was coming to me, I couldn’t hear it.

Time to call in the big guns.

I called for my three-year-old daughter Kay.

“Kay, Please talk to God for me and ask him where my ticket is.”

Kay: “God, where is Mommy’s ticket? He says Yes Mommy!”

Me: “What you do mean He says Yes? I need my ticket, find out where it is. Get me my ticket. I need my ticket!”

Kay: “He’s already told me your ticket is coming to you. He said Yes Mommy. . He already told me Yes!”

And with that off she went to play.

I went to a box of items to sort through. Right at the bottom was my ticket. It came to me about two minutes after God said Yes.

“Kay, Thank God for me.”

Me: “Thank you God.”

Sonia was great. More on her tomorrow.
