Wow how God works! This morning at 7:54am my grandmother calls me. I remember looking at the phone and was two seconds from pressing IGNORE before thinking of what I wrote in my last blog post.  I picked up and she started with “Coley, I’ve been thinking about you so much and I just came across your number and had to call  you”.
We then talked about her health and I inquired about a few of my family members and how they were doing.  She asked how my business was doing and I explained the ups and downs. I told her despite of everything i’ve been through in the past year that I was finally in a happy space. I love my new place, love my team that i’ve built over the past few months, etc. I told her that my old college wanted me to come and speak to the students but I didn’t know if I was ready yet and she encouraged me to do so. I also told her about some of the magazines that I’ve been featured in and that I just feel so blessed and I thank God every day.  She then asked me the question she always asks when she speaks to me on the phone. Up until this point I used to cringe when she inquired but this time I was ready.
“So are you seeing anybody?”.
I always felt that my family put too much pressure on me to find someone special. To get married. To have kids. To hold down a family. They always pounded in my head “You need someone” and I always snapped back “No I don’t”.
But to her surprise I responded:
“Grandma I’m dating someone. Just know I’m smitten and I’m happy. I’ve learned that you can’t help who you fall for and I’m taking it one day at a time”.
She grew quiet as if she was digesting the info….
And I smiled…
I’ve been getting over one hurdle at a time.  That phone call was right on time…
