MANAGE YOUR IMAGE
These are the words that my cousin gave to me last night when he talked for more than an hour. The strength and the power of what he said is so strong that I am still dealing with its meaning. Last night I hung up and felt as though I was being guided by a motivational speaker. He said the exact thing that I needed to hear. I know that I shall be going back to those words often as I move forward with my life.

yes, the heart is the centre
I have been reading Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. She writes about Italy, India and Indonesia and her spiritual enlightenment in each.I found a lovely quote in the book and I am recalling it here.
***
"Imagine that the universe is a great spinning engine, you want to stay near the core of the thing - right in the hub of the wheel - not out at the edges where all the wild whirling takes place, where you get can frayed and crazy. The hub of calmness - that's your heart. That's where God lives within you. So stop looking for answers in the world. Just keep coming back to that center and you'll find peace"
Then, imagine that I was a weary traveller, deciding to write a blog and the name came to me, and here it is.

Yet again, someone is reading from my life
Once a certain individual has made their mind up about a particular matter, you are better off trying to turn the tide than getting them to think again. Don't waste energy on a futile struggle. There is true fun and joy to be had elsewhere.
And from his
Pressures are not letting you live the life you want. From the moment you wake up to the time you go to sleep, you are distracted by obligations that deflect you from your heart's agenda. It's time to do what matters most to you.
He is now fighting me for custedy of our daughter, despite the fact that he is going away in a few days for a month.

Words of wisdom from my sign and then his for today
A key subplot in the soap opera of your life has reached a cliff hanger. An essential decision cannot yet be made and you're waiting for the first opportunity to make it happen. The full moon will sweep you forward to that important moment.
~
Although, our problems seem to be thrust on us by an unfair destiny, they are all, actually, made to measure as a result of our attitudes. We choose the cloth, cut and colour of our garments. So, if you don't like what you have —change the material.

up and down to be up again
So much has gone on since I last wrote. I got to the island on the 8th, and everything was topsy turvey for me. I stayed on after the deadline set to leave, I saw a lawyer, I have had ups and downs with my husband.It has been very eventful and it is still not completely resolved. Within all of this, I find myself remembering with clarity better times and wondering when I shall feel them again. I have felt exhausted by the experience, and this has been proven by my sleep. But in all of this, feeling sorry for myself is not an option. This situatin has to find an amicable ending.
