The universe is funny sometimes.  Right about the time we think we have things figured out – when we’re sure of our path – the universe sneaks up and bashes us on the head as if to say “WAIT! You’re going in the wrong direction!  Go THIS way!”.  What we realize at that point is that the universe, of course, has been waving at us frantically for some time.  We’ve just been unwilling to listen.

I got this “Note from the Universe” in my inbox a few days ago:

“Lara, is it my imagination, or are you receiving guidance from within?

You know, by the kind of feelings that either tell you to ‘have back at it’ with the zeal of a lion, or perhaps to finally turn the page, the entire page, not just dog-ear it, and move on.

I thought so.

Well then, may I suggest you act on it, as if nothing else mattered?

I LOVE OUR LITTLE TALKS!
The Universe”

Fear.  Pride.  Blind faith in ourselves and other people.  For whatever reason, we sometimes refuse to “go with the flow” when the flow seems to be going in a direction we don’t like or don’t think we want to go.  That’s sort of the problem though, isn’t it?  Sometimes we think instead of feel.

What message has the universe been sending you lately?  Are you listening?
