The universe has been talking to
me lately.
Last weekend my fella and I
scored the last patio table at a fancy French restaurant. I walked over to it
with more than a little “yeah, I’m hot stuff” swagger.
Until I sat down and realized
this was the view.
This is the Universe telling me
to remember what counts. It’s the inside that’s important, not the outside.
Especially if the outside features an unobstructed view of an angel’s a$$.
Universe Lesson #1: Remember what’s important: the
people you’re with, not the where.
Last week the internet went down
for 2 days here at Chez Guru. It was so frustrating I finally tried meditation,
a practice I’ve been advocating a full year now. But hadn’t found time to do
yet myself.
As I’ve said, this blog is aspirational, even for me. No one can
possibly do all the healthy, wholesome, stylish, organized things I recommend!
So there I was meditating. For 4
whole minutes before the dog found me.
Universe Lesson #2: Be still. To listen to your
breath or -- if you’re a bad meditator like me -- to receive kisses from your
dog.
Both bring much needed
perspective. You are the not the center of the universe. Except to your dog.
So make time for the love.
Anytime someone who actually thinks you’re the center of the universe – whether
it’s your pet, your kiddo, your partner -- is trying to connect with you, make
the time. Don’t put them off because you’re too busy trying to fix the damn
internet.
My last “a ha” moment happened
today when I drove by a sign advertising an upcoming Firearm Festival. It specified
all the great stuff that was going to happen there. Fun! Children’s Activities!
At the Firearm Festival.
Naturally.
Universe Lesson #3:
Lighten up. Remember to laugh. Some things are
absolutely absurd.
Don’t get so caught up in the
drama and the to-do list that you forget to appreciate the funny side of life.
Maybe I’m looking too hard for
signs from the universe. But I think, if we slow down and try to tune in, it’s
waiting for us to hear and see the signs it’s throwing down.
You don’t have to
be an excellent meditator to get there. Sometimes it smacks you right in the
face. With a pair of wings;)
Happy Wednesday, guru girls &
guys! This week may you be connected, to friends, family and the internet!
