Intuition // A Powerful Tool

Whew!  The past few weeks have been QUITE the whirlwind!  So much has been happening and so many plans have been made.  I have done some more planning of my big project, begun to reach out to the appropriate stakeholders, and I am well on my way to booking a trip to start the process!  And, lucky for all my readers - I got my bloggin' groove back! 

Last weekend was a blast.  It was great to be back on the beach in my old stompin' grounds!  Atlantic City lost some of its flare but hey - I am not 23 anymore :) and Avalon was just as beautiful.  This weekend is a NYC weekend - ending it with a road trip back to Pittsburgh on Sunday.  The best part?  I GET TO SEE WICKED.  I have been dying to see it (for a casual decade), and I finally found someone to see it with.  I finish grad school in 22 days; only 3 weeks of classwork left!  And, I have my big San Diego/Hawaii trip coming up! 

But, I won't let my excitement get in the way of life lessons to share.  It is so easy for people to sit around, feel pity for themselves, over-analyze every little thing (guilty!), and not look at the positive things in life.  This is something in a recent event I could have done but I chose to look at the positivity in it.  The lesson learned? LISTEN TO YOUR INTUITION, BETCHES.  My relationship with my intuition the past few years has been rocky; I have ignored her when she was telling me shit wasn't right.  Well intuition... I'm sorry, I love you, and I'll never ignore you again. 

I started talking to this guy my friend met at a bachelor party and introduced me to.  He seemed GREAT.  He seemed to be aligned with me in so many ways, I would consider him one of the more attractive guys that I have been interested in, very successful, owned his own house on 80 acres of land, owned his own company, and was educated (although from PITT - ew).  As in, he could have an actual conversation with me that held my interest.  He was making me laugh.  But, something FELT OFF.  While he was very attentive, it was almost too much.  He almost seemed way too eager (to the point it was getting on my nerves) and I started to feel I was being mimicked and he wasn't genuine (sound familiar?).  Now, I am not one to just assume the worst in people (but even when I have, that apparently didn't matter) so I let it go for a bit.  Monday, I just couldn't anymore.  Something was tugging at me and while I am not planning on settling for one guy right now (how else would I get great dating stories for the blog?), I didn't want to waste my time.  I did some investigative work (Pittsburgh is quite the small town).  He said he didn't have a Facebook.  WRONG.  Turns out homeboy has a serious girlfriend - very serious.  My inner goddess did a happy dance and praised my intuition while I decided to give him a piece of my mind - and that I did.

Intuition.  It is a powerful tool for women.  It is something we need to learn to trust.  It is a gift from God that is meant to protect us and protect those around us.  Intuition - you're my #1!
