WHEN LIFE SUCKS
I do NOT want to die when life sucks. When life sucks, my vibration is low, my mind is going lickety-split in all directions, my gut feels like someone gave it a blast with a laser gun, and there’s no love in my heart. Well… that last part isn’t exactly true: even when life sucks, if I squeezed my heart hard enough, smidgens of love would come out for my family, my country, my friends, dogs, cats without fleas and my potted plants.
Don’t you agree that that would be a terrible time to die? When life sucks? Not that I’m planning on dying any time soon. But my birthday on November 18 is a big one since astrologists say that turning 84 marks my Uranus Return. I don’t really know what that means except that there’s a good possibility I could die around then (I’ll let you know if I did or didn’t in my next newsletter).
I like better what I read on the website, rebelastrology.net: “By the age of 84 and the Uranus return, one hopes, an octogenarian can make an unbelievable breakthrough, living brilliantly and teaching the rest of us how to live. The full genius of one’s individuality, shed of conventional expectations, can now shine through.”
One hopes.
Right now, my life is pretty darn good and I have a lot to be grateful for. But, even so, I’m sort of a mess agonizing about the results of the Senate run-off election in Georgia and I still have almost two months to suffer.
Or not. It all depends on whether I stick to my practices, one of which is to keep reminding myself to let go of the outcome. Of everything. But especially the run-off election – I am too invested in the outcome. I want a tranquil mind.
There are only two steps to this practice:
- Do everything I can about the situation.
I can’t just sit around moaning and complaining while others do all the work. I need to do my part with dignity and conviction. So okay, I’m donating to my two preferred candidates and I’ve offered to write postcards and do texting. And I’m praying. - Let go of the outcome.
This is the tough part. I need to trust and surrender that whatever happens, it’s for the best, and to mean it! Then I release the outcome and the charged energy of the situation by closing my eyes, taking a few deep breaths and focusing my attention on my heart.

Of course, you can bet that on January 5th I’ll be glued to the TV, but think of all the time in between when I can just live calmly and peacefully. Oh… but what if my candidates don’t win? I do NOT want to die when life sucks.
Love and Blessings,
Ellen
