Living Life According to the Universe

The universe works in a very structured, yet giving, manner.  There are rules and laws that govern the universe and our lives and the more we live in accordance to those laws, the more harmonious our lives are, the more in touch we are with our true selves.  For about ten years or so, I’ve naturally been living my life according to Universal laws and my life has been drastically different since. 

It’s like a natural system of checks and balances.  Where our minds go, our energy follows.  So, if we think about and harbor on negative aspects of life then that is what we find ourselves surrounded by.  If we wish harm on others, we find ourselves in harm’s way quite often.  If we want something, we must act upon it – in both thought and physicality.  Everything always comes full circle – what goes around comes around, so if you ‘go around’ in a positive fashion, that positivity also ‘comes around’ your life.  Everything in the world must have balance, what goes up must also come down.  There is a rhythm to the universe and as long as we are living in accordance to that rhythm, we ourselves, our lives are also in rhythm.  To me, it truly is the simplest thing in the world, yet so many people are not dialed into this concept and awareness. 
We are the only ones who can control what we think, how we act, and how we react.  Keeping our thoughts focused on the things we want, instead of the things we do not want heightens our ability to manifest things in our lives. 
Actively appreciating what we DO have instead of what we do not have keeps our lives in perspective.  Being aware of the things we have that others do not, helps us to keep it relative.  This can be our mental health, our physical health, our spiritual connection, our physical surroundings, our physical assets, our zest for life, etc. 
Understanding that we create our realities, through our thoughts, words, and actions helps us to not become victims of our lives and helps us to hold ourselves responsible for what we do, think, and say. 

Knowing that we must have balance in life, being able to take the good with the bad, understanding that the sun sets and the moon rises, that tides go in and out, that people are good and people are bad.  It IS what we choose to focus on, so why not focus on the good?  Even if we experience a down time or a “bad” situation, we will get through it – we always do.  Everything is happening as it is meant to and we are never given more than we can handle. 
Having an awareness that our thoughts are like silent wishes, so should we ‘think’ about wanting a new house, we have planted that seed, as a wish to grow in our world.  The more we feed energy to that thought (wish) the more of a reality it becomes.  It may not happen overnight, but it will happen – again, when it is meant to. 
While Universal laws seem to focus on the mental reality of our thoughts shaping our worlds, there is a strong spiritual connection.  We must connect to and understand the Universe at large and Divine timing.  We must be fully aware of our physical beings, as homes for our souls and treat our physical bodies as such.  Taking care of and tending to our needs, wants, and desires.  We must recognize this in others as well.  If we, as a “world” recognized each other on a soul level, can you imagine how different the world would be?  We wouldn’t have the jealousy, the envy, the competition, the greed … we would see so much more love, acceptance, compassion, forgiveness, and understanding.  I’d much rather live in the positive aspects of the world.  Wouldn't you?

Appreciation

Along this journey called "life," I've met some pretty amazing souls ... and some not so amazing. Fortunately, I've been able to learn something from them, whether they were amazing or not. I've learned what true love is thanks to my husband, and I've learned what unconditional love is thanks to my nephew. I've met some pretty amazing women who have helped me along my journey, pointing me in the right directions (even if I didn't listen right away), offering me undeniable advice (again, even if I didn't listen right away), and being an all-around fantastic support system for me.

I've been learning about patience, and the fact that I have very little of it in many situations. This is where I remind everyone of that "work in progress" that I like to refer to myself as. I've also been learning to set boundaries - something that I hadn't done in the past. It's amazing what happens when those boundaries get set. When I declared (to myself and the Universe) that I refused to take part in or enable certain behaviors of those close to me, all of a sudden the contact with those individuals lessened.

I've learned that I struggle with many personalities, especially those that are full of shit. Hypocrisy and lying are among my least favorite traits and I am determined to not allow time for those people in my life. In some cases this is great! But, in other cases, this pertains to souls that are close to me - family, close friends, etc. - and creates problems that aren't always easy to navigate. I'm sure these problems just mean more learning for me. I also know that life is all about balance, so in order to take in and appreciate the amazing souls I've encountered, I have to take in and appreciate the not-so-amazing ones.

So, here's me declaring my appreciation of all of the souls that have impacted my life, whether good or bad. Obviously I have more appreciation for the 'good impact souls', but again ... "work in progress." :)

From one Virginia to another...

Being that I'm starting this entry at 12:13 a.m. is a good sign, for me. I LOVE numbers and numerology, and well, my birthday is 12/13. After sharing my 'muffin' with you all, I realized I never shared the "diagnosis." They say I have hyperinsulinemia, which is a condition where my pancreas produces too much insulin and my body works harder than usual to maintain a normal glucose level. How do I feel about this? I don't, really. Apparently this 'condition' will also cause a woman not to ovulate, which is my underlying problem. I felt relieved to have an answer, at first. But, a few weeks later, I'm not so sure. I don't fully agree that this is the "problem." I, personally, think I'm experiencing perimenopause. I'll be in contact with the doctors in the upcoming week to see if we can come to a conclusion about this.

Meanwhile, at the bat cave... I had an AMAZING psychic reading two weeks ago. Amazing actually doesn't even begin to cover my feelings on the readings. Cherry, the reader, gave me so much information and insight to myself and my own journey on the "psychic, spiritual ride." Even though I've had nudges, and feelings about what I am to do with my gifts, I never felt 'sure'. After my reading, I have not one doubt in my mind what I am to do. Let me not forget to mention that prior to the reading, I went to my guides and asked that they go to Cherry and provide her and her guides with information I needed and which direction to head in. What was most comforting was that her journey along this path was much similar to what mine is, so I finally felt like someone actually "got me."

I've had numerous conversations and connections with many people about this over the past 2 years and have had so many wonderful people enter my life to help me along my way. But, this time, it felt different. I can't explain it in words. What I can say, though, is that for once I don't question my goal or direction. And, that alone, provides more comfort than I ever imagined.

So, now my struggle seems to be balancing my happy world with the "normal" world, and finding time to do my crafty stuff and do more readings while working and being a wife, and dealing with this female stuff. Lucky for me, my grandmother (who was my inspiration behind this blog name), was Superwoman, so I have it in my genes to succeed and manage all of this. If that Virginia could do all of the amazing things that she did in her life, then this Virginia can follow in those footsteps of greatness. And, since the light in this room just flickered, I know she is here with me, agreeing.
