Sticking To The Plan.
Submitted by: Shalon McAlister
Seattle, WAI'm someone who struggles with letting go and worrying. I am a boy mom in a lesbian relationship. I'm a doula and hairstylist. I manifest things easily.
One of my goals in life is to be a well-known childbirth doula. I went to a training in 2020 and received documentation for completion of training but not my certificate. The training was pretty expensive and it did not seem worth it since it was virtual instead of in person. I was still very excited to get into my new career.
I have been a medical assistant for 8 years and have been seeking change in my career and life for a while now. In 2019 I decided that being a doula was it for me. When I found out I had to be present for at least 4 births within a year from my training in order to be certified, I felt discouraged. I have yet to get any clients. I have been self-employed braiding hair and I had been feeling quite drained. I also knew I needed to provide for my family. About 2 years ago I had applied for a doula diversity scholarship and I did not receive it. Just recently I applied to the same organization for their doula program. I just knew this time around it was for me. I started a part-time medical assistant job and I was just not happy. I love the work but it wasn’t what I wanted to do. I was waiting to hear back about the doula program but I was starting to feel discouraged. I almost took a job making much more then I was offered for the part time job. I kept telling myself to stick to the plan and that what was meant for me, will always be for me.
The day after I declined the job, while I was leaving work feeling so upset, I saw an email in my inbox. It was from the organization that I had applied to. I was accepted! I immediately jumped for joy, screamed, and then started crying. I cried all the way home. It was tears of happiness. I am so happy that I stuck to my plan and trusted that my manifestation was on its way. Thank you so much for The Secret.
