My boyfriend says I’m the luckiest person he knows. It is true that, no matter what I venture into, somehow I always manage to land on my feet. I may not win the lottery, but things fall into place and come to me easily in delightful, unexpected ways. Recently I heard spiritual leader, Deepak Chopra, say, “Good luck is a state of grace. It is Spirit walking with you wherever you go.” Well, I certainly don’t live in a constant state of grace. My cat would attest to that if she could talk. However, I find that the more often I am able to align myself with the higher qualities of love, peace, joy, compassion and forgiveness, the more smoothly everything goes for me. I feel like the person in the commercials who is able to dodge all the obstacles in the road because they are driving a safe, dependable car. When I remember to choose Spirit as my vehicle to navigate life, when I let it guide my every move, the trip is much smoother and the road seems to be paved with luck. When people ask me how I’ve come to be so ‘lucky’, I just tell them, “I’ve got the best vehicle.”
Let your spirit soar!

Hi Paula,
I loved your post. It reminded me of what a friend once said to me. She said, “No matter what you do, you can find yourself in a pile of ____ and still come out smelling like a rose.” I had to laugh when she said that. It was true. For all the years she had known me I was making decisions for my life that she nor anyone else would have done. It would seem at first that my choices would cause me problems, but somehow they always worked out. I eventually dubbed them “leaps of faith”. I chose to leave jobs that were no longer serving me; they were sucking the life out of me, but I had no other prospects in sight. I chose to pursue my college degree without knowing how I would pay for it. – As examples. I always landed on my feet.
I follow my heart. I do my best. I wish the best for others. I let go of resentment (this has taken some time, and at times I can feel a twinge reminding me that maybe there is still work to be done). I trust in the guidance of Spirit, my higher power, the universe. I still make plans that may or may not turn out. If not, I know there is something better waiting for me down the road.
Oh, I’m in the process of self-publishing my children’s books! They will be out this summer!
Yes, I feel lucky too.
