Is it me, or has 2010 flown by like a speeding locomotive? If you are like me, you have crammed as much into your life and the year as possible. But here we are in the final weeks of 2010 and I want to know what you have done with it. Where did you go? What did you do? What goals did you meet? How many new friends and acquaintenances did you make? What projects did you complete? Stop me anytime now… I am sure you have done many good and positive things in this past year. But try as we might, we may not always get through every benchmark the way we like. Not because we did not put forth the effort, but maybe because the time simply was not right for us to finish some of the things we set out to accomplish.

The Universe has a grand and meticulous way of sorting things out in our lives. Its powerful energy often shows up in the least expected areas and at some inconvenient times to us. Imagine what Ben Franklin must have thought when he was shocked by the bolt of lightening. Yes, he had a stroke of genius whilst at the same time getting a little electrified by his experiment. It was all in good faith, however.That is how we must view our daily lives. We may not expect the unexpected but that is why it is called the “unexpected” because well…we do not see it coming. It just happens. And that is how the Universe tends to present us with challenges that we must overcome so that we can reap the rewards of their equal opportunities. It boils down to our individual perception of events and encounters.

So…now we are broaching 2011. Wow! The world has made it through the first decade of the new milennium! What an accomplishment! We did not blow ourselves up. We did not inadvertanly shoot off our big toes (not anyone I personally know of any way), nor did we fall into the dark abyss. Most of us are still here, alive and kicking. We are hearing that things are bleak and the world is coming to an end. But still, here I am. There you are. We are here — resolute in our own convictions that tomorrow will bring a brighter day.

We also understand that even when we do not immediately acquire the things we want in our lives that tomorrow and this new year presents us with yet another opportunity to create the lives we want to live…another opportunity to become the individuals we want to be. Baby steps are sometimes the beginnings to grand leaps and bounds. This is why the new year is always represented by a newborn baby. This is the time to begin anew…to learn from our past mistakes…to carry forward the goals and benchmarks that we may have missed. Go ahead and embellish your dreams as this new year is about to open up to us. The Universe is waiting for you now!

Until we speak again,

I am, Joan Marie, your Intuition Girl
