Be Open to what the Universe has to teach you.

Is there a crack in the foundation of your life - a small stress fracture that needs your attention? Do something to repair it before it expands into a problem or full-blown crisis. Make plans to leave the job you hate before they let you go. Stop spending money you don't have before your debt is too overwhelming to face. Tell the truth to someone you love before the relationship goes south.

You have the power to repair the crack. Do it.... Now.

-Cheryl Richardson

My best friend told me about Cheryl Richardson. I wrote her name down and tucked the thought away of looking up her book.

A couple months later - a woman I met at a yoga workshop in Georgia, someone that has become a good friend, brought up the name again with a different book. The Art of Extreme Self Care - check it out. :-) Trust me.

It got my attention. The universe was putting a lesson in front of me and it was time to pay attention and read. So I did. That was January...

The quote from above came up today and just hit a nerve.

Then I read this...
The Lululemon Manifesto Monday:
Things which matter most must never be at the mercy of things which matter least. - Goethe

Then tonight on elephantjournal.com

So I suppose the universe is speaking to me again today.

I guess I wanted to share this as a reminder (mostly for me):
Be open.
Know you can't plan everything (even though I try to).
Follow your heart not your brain - at least when it comes to the important stuff.
Trust that you are where you need to be.
If you have something that you need to tell someone - do it before the gap grows wider.
May the last word you speak at the end of the day be a kind one.
Show gratitude.
Dream.
Smile.
Breathe.
Remember we are all connected.

Love & Light,
Edith
