Held and Supported at the Apple Store

Surrendering...

Yesterday was a big day- Aden's graduation ceremony from Elementary School- lunch with friends-helping set up for the school's graduation party- signing a lease on a new apartment- going to graduation party- etc...Aka we had a schedule to keep.

So, while out with friends yesterday, Aden's iphone got damaged. He's done an awesome job taking care of it so far- but he slipped and the phone got cracked.

No problem. We've got the protection for just this reason- let's take it to the Apple Store. We have a little time before I have to be at his school to set up- so off we go.

As we arrive there- I realize I've left my phone at home.

Slightly annoyed but no big deal.

Well...we arrive at apple store...seems there's a problem with my apple care coverage- saying there'd been a billing error and that they'd tried to contact me but because they didn't hear back- they cut off my policy- and so now we no longer had coverage. (GRRRRR!)

Of course I can't check my emails, bc I don't have my phone. Time's ticking. (remember full schedule)- It didn't feel right to just say yes to the repair. And I didn't have enough time to think it through right there. So, I decide we're not going to do anything with the phone just yet.

After beating myself up for a bit (How'd I let this lapse in coverage happen? Why is this happening on the day I'm signing a new lease?!) I remember to turn it all over to the Divine. Affirming that the perfect solution is going to occur. Surrender the outcome- and go handle all the other things I needed to handle- so we could then go celebrate Aden's graduation with all of our friends.

This afternoon, I had gotten into agreement that I may have to pay the fee for Aden's phone- AND YET would really love to not have to pay the $399 for the replacement. Once again, I offered it up to the Divine- affirming that the perfect outcome had been chosen.

Imagine how THRILLED I was when the Apple Care rep heard out my whole story- and had a lot of compassion and even though he couldn't reinstate my apple care + he offered me a one time option to replace Aden's phone.... FOR FREE!

FOR.

FREE.

I may or may not have offered to bear his children.

(Turns out he already had 6- so thank GOD I didn't have to go through with said offer!)

I am so so so grateful for this outcome. Not only because of the money- I'm also grateful bc it reaffirms my belief that I am held and supported. It reaffirms that there is always possibility. That so called "reality" is flexible and that I can always ask- and always stand for what I want and that you never know!

I love you Apple.

I love you Steven from Apple.

I love you God/Goddess/The Divine/The Universe
