Ok so, I had to laugh. Recently I was crossing the street and a big, “Whonk! Whoooonk!” caught my attention as this sassy car was honking and jolting to get around another car (there were no other cars on the street). As it drove away jerkily (literally and figuratively), a half block later it had to slam on its breaks for a red light (hehe). By the time the other car got to the light, the light turned green.
Be that green car. Stay steady, consistent and balanced. Trying to force a situation either emotionally, mentally or physically, will likely lead us to more roadblocks. If something isn’t going your way, it’s most likely because there’s a better solution that you don’t know of yet. Just like if sassy car had taken it slower, he would have been able to coast through that light.
Take life one peace at a time :) It’s all good. You’ll still get there, but it will be soooo much easier. xoxo!

Thank you for the analogy. Any suggestions for what to do as we prepare for the unfolding? Meditation? Others?

Yay ladies. So true, right? I couldn’t help but hope that sassy car learned a little lesson and sloooowed down.
Becca, meditation definitely helps. I would also recommend being highly observant and taking a calm, watchful approach rather than feeling like we have to jump in and do something about it all the time. Sometimes we are most powerful when we surrender and watch things play out. Often the answers are shown to us without having to do anything at all!
