Today I am in Switzerland! But more on that later..
Instead of splashing right into why I am where I am, I’m deciding to write about my grandma’s ability to read fortunes. She can do so by analyzing the coffee stains left in the cup once the coffee has been consumed by the person. Some people don’t really believe in that stuff, but if you take a chance, gulp down that bitter black drink and wait to hear what’s in store for you, you will not doubt that there’s some truth to it.
My grandmother isn’t always very alert. I love her, but we rarely have full, clear, meaningful conversations. This is not only because of the language barrier, but also because her memory isn’t at its best. When I asked her to read my fortune, I wasn’t sure what I’d be getting in return. We don’t speak much, so she doesn’t really know the details of my life. Upon handing over my coffee stained cup, my Nonna got right in to telling me that I’d be meeting some new people and that at first I would have to be cautious, but that light (symbolizing trust and goodness) would be shining down on the situation. She also said that I am always very nervous, or apprehensive, and that I should trust the situations before me because my path is full of light.
This was all funny because I am currently on a trip with TONS of new people and it’s sunny and bright out (light). What’s more is that I am also always nervous and stressed and that I should be able to trust my surroundings, especially on an independent adventure like the one I am living at this very moment.
I thought I would share this little story because it’s quite remarkable how intuitive my grandmother is, especially at her remarkable age of 92! I also wanted to pass on that the advice I got can be applied to anyone else as well.
Have an AmAzInG day and stay tuned for more on why I’m in Switzerland,
