It was a wet and windy morning, Sofina woke with a sudden urge to clean and declutter the 4 corners of her 3-bedroom house.

She got up, made herself a mocha, sat down and drank it while she contemplated where to start.

Sofina, being a spiritual young woman, but with many negative blockages she had absorbed during her 41 years on earth as an empath and a spiritual being having a human experience, had lost contact with her higher self, and her true purpose which was to bring spirituality back to earth.

She went along her day throwing out anything she found that was rubbish, or broken and putting anything dirty in the laundry to be washed, while anything else went into a box to be sorted out later.

She had got through the corner of her kitchen, the corner of her lounge room, the corner of her eldest daughters room, and was about to start the corner of her house that was in her own bedroom when she decided to relax with another mocha first.

While Sofina made herself a mocha and sat down to drink it, she was debating with herself to call it quits for the day when she noticed something written on her kitchen window.

It read, keep on going, and you will see, a "WINDOW" of opportunity. " Now Sofina didn't question anything about the strange message and instead, got up grabbed a box and skipped down the passage to her bedroom.

When she got there, Sofina spent half an hour cleaning a decluttering the far right corner of her room, when she was done she felt a strong urge to put some salt in all the 4 corners she had decluttered, as to not welcome negativity into her household. She got back to her bedroom after putting salt in the other 3 corners, and as she put the salt in the corner of her room she said a silent prayer. " My spirit guides, and angels, the universe and moon, please help me become my Higher self and fulfill my purpose soon. " And just as she looked out her bedroom window to look up to the sky, she noticed she had 7 reflections of herself, a realization hit her, and she realized she had 7 astral twins in the spiritual realm, 7 being her golden number, and all 7 of them spoke to her through the window of opportunity, and Sofina began to remember who she is and what her purpose was on earth. As they spoke, Sofina aura shone bright, and she felt nothing but positivity and enlightenment. All in sync, her 7 astral twin told Sofina Go forth Sofina, into the world, bring spiritual energy to every boy and girl, for this is your calling, your God given right, to spread love, healing energy and spiritual light. " So Sofina set out into her little community, everyone she came into contact with were enlightened, positive and full of spiritual energy as Sofina spread her positive vibes and light unto who ever came near her.

Now and then, as an empath, Sofina would absorb someone's negative energy and retreat back to her bedroom window to ask her 7 astral twins for strength. They would then tell Sofina, Sofina, Sofina, back you must go, to that Sad lost soul, you must let your light flow, don't quit when its hard, but keep going my girl, till you've brought spirituality back to that world. " So without a second thought, Sofina in all her faith went to find this stranger who was sad and negative, to share with him her wisdom and positive energy. Everywhere she went in her little community all she felt was positivity and happiness as she had filled her community with such joy. After searching for any negativity she could feel, for 3 hours she almost lost hope as she sat beneath an old oak tree, with her back against the tree and her bare feet in the dirt she meditated. As she closed her eyes and imagined the light and energy from the earth shining up into her feet through her body and coming out through the top of her crown up into the universe, she felt re-energized and grounded enough to continue her search. As he got up, she felt a sudden urge that she had to stay there a bit longer, so Sofina sat back down. At that moment she felt sadness and confusion, as she sat and listened she could hear someone crying she listened as the man she had felt the negativity from earlier that day cried and let his feelings out into the universe. Sofina, following her instincts, got up and went over to the man to offer a listening ear. As she lent down beside him and touched his shoulder, he seemed to glance up with a look of relief. Tears in his eyes but a smile now on his face, he asked Sofina for some much-needed guidance. He, too, was on his journey of self discovery. Sofina knew just how to help this man whom she felt most connected to. "Would you like to come over to my place for a mocha?" She asked, "I only live around the corner from here, and I have good listening ears and a soul full of compassion, no judgement you shall feel in my presence." She insisted. The young man smiled and accepted her offer with such gratitude, Sofina felt she had already begun to help heal his wounded heart and soul. As they walked he spoke of how his family never understood or accepted him, how he was different and an outsider everywhere he went in his life, like he didn't belong anywhere on earth. Sofina listened but also emphasized, as she too had felt like this all her life. When they got to Sofinas, she made them a warm mocha, and they sat and drank them and got to know each other, the young man's name was Seth. Once they had finished, Sofina asked if she could show him something, of course," Seth replied. She asked him to follow her as she walked down the passage to her bedroom, once inside her room she asked Seth if he would mind looking in her bedroom mirror, as Seth sat on her bed and looked out of the window, Sofina asked him what he could see, I see me," Seth gasped as he saw 7 reflections of himself in the window, just as Sofina had seen. " Sofina and Seth, you're each other's twin flame, you've found each other, now time to reclaim.

You're calling and purpose as a soul family, is to go into the world with your loving energy, together you both will set the world free, and bring the world back to spirituality." Came the voice of their spirit guides and guardian angels. At once, they both got up, hugged each other, and both with radiant smiles went off into their community spreading love, light and positive vibes to all they came into contact with. It wasn't before too long they both noticed the wonderful difference they had made in their community, and how everyone's lifestyles had changed to include gratitude and love and care for Gaia, mother earth, and each other. Sofina would notice daily, how the people changed and looked after Gaia, mother earth and each other, and how the people she touched would empower others, hence the power of paying it forward ended up that Sofina not only changed her little community because of her window of opportunity, but changed the whole world for the better. As the moral goes, it takes 1 person to change the world. 1 p
