This morning, I was thinking about the two bald eagles I saw on Friday, and I can’t help but believe that most people driving along 116th St. in Fishers did not see the two massive birds hanging out and flying around. I could have missed seeing them had I been distracted by my phone, other thoughts, or even changing songs on the radio. There is no shortage of distractions today, which might keep you from receiving important messages from the Universe—you might be missing your bald eagles because you aren’t paying attention. Not only might distractions keep you from receiving messages, but they can also be getting in the way of you getting connected with your Self; spending time on social media, getting pulled into media headlines, or participating in gossip all keep you from spending time with your Self—time which will help you get closer to your authentic life. You don’t need to give those distractions up in totality, but reducing the distracted time will give you the time and space to connect to the things that matter most as you pursue your authentic life. The more you experience moments like I did Friday, the more you’ll want to make sure you reduce the distractions in your life and become more in tune with the Universe. JC |

In the past, I was always afraid that if I set a financial goal, the Universe would interpret my intentions as...
“Jimmy: Sometimes, a little reminder that life is short can be a gift. Can give us that little extra push that we need. Alice: That’s pretty stupid, thought isn’t it? Jimmy: What? Alice: Needing something bad to happen to make you do the thing you should have done all along. Jimmy: I’m not so sure it matters how you get there. You just gotta hope that when you do, it’s not too late.” The closing dialogue to this week’s episode of Shrinking. Don’t let it be too late for whatever it is you...
You probably know the old proverb, “Curiosity killed the cat.” I’m sure at some point in your life, someone has recited that to you in order to keep you from exploring your curiosity. But did you know that the cat’s “death” is only half the actual saying? The second part says, “but satisfaction brought it back,” which suggests that the result of the curiosity was worth the risk. It’s interesting that society has chosen to leave out the proverb's positive aspect and has allowed it to become a...
