Love 13

According to folk legend 13 is actually symbolic, religious, has a great story and is actually a very lucky day. Myth, fiction and lore are a great way for the human mind to fantasized and keep us on our toes. When in times of fear, superstition, high anxiety and did I mention fear? We tend to feel like the end of the world is upon us and we are being swallowed by a sea of memories and mean people. A great holistic approach to this and the truth is right here. Let me show you.

Every time we feel fear, anxiety, a threat of dread or any other simply awful feeling just remember.... We now feel alive. It brings us to an awareness of ourselves and were we are. Its like taking a city girl and placing her in a remote mountainous island with out a cellphone...or plain without a cell phone. Servival mode kicks in and there that city girl becomes a woman who is more intuned with nature, her surroundings and discovers the homing pigeon. Without this sence of servival we would live in lala land and take advantage of the fun and happy times. This also doesnt necessarily mean that with out pain there is no pleasure. This means when things out a not so happy way we feel alive, regroup our reality and take this new conundrum like a task on a reality tv obsticle course.

With all that said, enjoy your 13th. Its a nice number.
