In my mind, the universe encompasses God, my parents and loved ones as emissaries for God, and the stars and planetary alignment based on my birth.
In the morning when I read my daily Jesus Calling entry, it taps into something that is on my mind. I’m always comparing this year to last, or last year to three years ago. If you own a small business you’ll know why. I have so much trouble living in the moment. If it’s not looking back, I’m a week, month, 3 months into the future.

As soon as my workout is over and I’m heading back to the house, my mind is always on what I have to do, or worry about. I’ll look at the clock and it’s 7:17. It might be on the light timer at the garage door, the stove clock, or my phone.

I read my personalized horoscope and I wonder, “how does it know?!” It could be a personalized one that knows my birthdate, time and location, or the random one out of the newspaper, it always clicks for that day.
Yesterday morning I was chastising myself over the time wasted doom scrolling the night before. I start reading one of my favorite bloggers and she’s talking about what she accomplishes in her morning vs. any doom scrolling!
So many ways to be reminded I’m not alone.
