My Pink Roadmap

Following the Signs of The Universe
It is no coincidence that things appear in our lives in multiples. Whether it is that book that keeps showing up again and
again, insisting you read it. Or that persons name who keeps coming up around you, or that particular word that relates
to the idea you pushed aside to pursue later; the suggestions of our intuition and gifts from The Universe are all around.

It is in your hands to take charge of these signs or suggestions and run with them. How long will you continue to dismiss these suggestions before you realize the endless opportunities in front of you? When you do decide to act on these suggestions, will the opportunities still be there?

It is easy to think that we know the way we will be most happy. But when we give up control and surrender to The Universe, we open our lives to all that is truly possible. things we never dreamed of.  (Mind you I am mostly talking to myself as well here.)

What You Resists, Persists
One of my most favorite quotes that more than often deems true is "what you resists, persists." This is not necessarily implying that what you resist is actually the way your heart should follow (although in some cases this is true.) It is
merely stating that the longer you choose to work against the flow of life, the longer you will struggle. Somethings are simply out of your power. Things will not always go your way and you cannot control many of the aspects of your life,
except how you react. This is in your power.

My Invitation to You
So Pinkies, what suggestions from The Universe have you been ignoring? How can you choose to learn from your situations at hand versus complaining and resisting them? How can you take on a "go with the flow" attitude?

The more you find good in another, the more you'll find good in yourself.
No matter who that "other" is. Happy, happy Monday -
The Universe

With the endless commercials for depression medications, constant talk of finding our true joy and passion in life and the ever so challenging search for our Mojo it is easy to get lost in the whirl wind of ‘why am I not happy? How do I get to where they are? And what is wrong with me?

This past week was an emotional roller coaster for me. Mind you, I have nothing to really be sad about; food is in my belly, I have friends that love me, a fantastic job and a promising future. But for some reason I just couldn’t pull myself out of this feeling of sadness that over came me. 

So, all week long, I sat with it. I asked my sadness questions:

1. Why are you here? Why now?
2. What can I gain from your consumption of my brain, heart and being?
3. When are you going to leave me?
   

The sadness never really answered me back, but my subconscious did. The inner Goddess was whispering, ‘It’s alright little Pinkie, your body needed this sadness to know it is still alive and is growing and expanding as we speak. This too shall pass.’  In the midst of listening to my inner Goddess, I was able to be in the sadness. Although I didn’t understand what had come over me, I was able to except the fact that the sadness was there, let it do what it needed to and eventually leave. I like to imagine that the sadness was the water fertilizing the soil of my soul. (Not so sad anymore is it?)

Don’t get me wrong Pinkies, in no way am I belittling depression or loss of Mojo, those are both very real, very different, very valid things. (insert Mojo/Depression post link here.) However, we are merely humans trying to get by on a daily basis to live our dreams, find our joy and have loving, authentic connections with one another. We are all going to have our down days, our down weeks and sometimes, yes, our down months. The important thing to keep in mind is that nothing lasts forever, as sure as there are bumps in the road, there are just as many straight-aways. 

The next time you feel the sadness coming over you, don’t be afraid of it- embrace it. There are no coincidences in life each encounter, emotion, interaction that comes into play if part of creating our ‘Big Picture’ into existence. We cannot always see what lies ahead, but rest assured the Universe will not steer us wrong.

Let It Be,
