I have been checking my daily horoscope updates on my Droid app lately and it has been freaking me out how in-tune with my life they have been. I shared one early this week but here is today's.
LEO horoscope for May, 20, 2010
When we think of love we think of all the warmth, affection, and comforts that come with it. We often fail to think about the demands, the compromises, and the difficulties that also occur. You may be going through some trials and tribulations right now with an important person in your life. Although this could be a very rough patch, it will ultimately resolve itself and things will go back to normal. The point, though, is that you have to be steadfast in your commitment and with your responsibilities even when things are tough. Keep that in mind today.
I think that the person that writes these horoscopes might be following me around with a hidden camera. I have just recently started to take a new direction with an old friend. It is amazing to me how quickly a friendship can go back to normal. After being apart and not speaking for a long time it doesn't feel like six months separated us, it was more like a little vacation. Although the past is not forgotten, forgiveness and resolving issues seems to feel better than holding on to something that was out of my control.
I'm not sure how much I believe in horoscopes or astrology in general, but if these daily messages continue to relate so perfectly to the situations in my life I'm not sure why I wouldn't listen to them. Today I will "be steadfast in my commitment and with my responsibilities." Does that mean I have to go to class?

EAT PRAY LOVE
One of the bes
t books I've ever read is EAT PRAY LOVE by Elizabeth Gilbert. I've passed this book on to a good friend to read because I enjoyed so many of the stories told and the lessons shared. There was one chapter I could really relate to where Liz (the author and main character) came to a huge realization with the help of her friend. This is one of the best passages in the book, I hope you enjoy and maybe you can relate too.
p.149
“Big deal. So you fell in love with someone. Don’t you see what happened? This guy touched a place in your heart deeper than you thought you were capable of reaching, I mean you got zapped, kiddo. But that love you felt, that’s just the beginning. You just got a taste of love. That’s just limited little rinky-dink mortal love. Wait til you see how much more deeply you can love than that. Heck Groceries – you have the capacity to someday love the whole world. It’s your destiny. Don’t laugh.”
“I’m not laughing.” I was actually crying. “And please don’t laugh at me now, but I think the reason its so hard for me to get over this guy is because I seriously believed David was my soul mate.”
“He probably was. Your problem is you don’t understand what that word means. People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that’s what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that’s holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life. A true soul mate is probably the most important person you’ll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soul mate forever? Nah. Too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you and then they leave. And thank God for it. Your problem is, you just can’t let this one go. It’s over, Groceries. David’s purpose was to shake you up, drive you out of that marriage that you needed to leave, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light could get in, make you so desperate and out of control that you had to transform your life, then introduce you to your spiritual master and beat it. That was his job and he did great but now it’s over…”

Pause button?
My dad turned 51 today. He has lived for over half of a century. I am graduating college in less than 2 weeks. I read someone's Facebook status today that said, "Where is the pause button?" I would have 'liked' it 100 times if I could.
I want my life to pause so I can enjoy being 21 and careless for a little longer! I am one 20 page paper (single spaced and no, I haven't started) and a final away from being done. I need a margarita.
"Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment."

Silver lining?
I’m having one of those weeks when you can just feel bad stuff coming your way. There is a list of things that could have happened at anytime in this entire semester and they all happened within a single weekend. Welcome to meltdown # 1,394. I had an awful weekend and then I read my horoscope...
LEO horoscope for May, 17, 2010 If you find that your week starts on a bad note, Leo, start looking for silver linings immediately. A cloudy emotional forecast is no reason to give in to feelings of sadness or self pity. Among the silver linings you will find if you choose to look, you will see that at least one offers you something wonderful you had not expected. This kind of good fortune will always be possible if you can modify your way of thinking when things aren't going your way. You have more power to change direction than you think you do. Start taking greater control over your destiny.
Okay so here I am looking for the silver lining. It is starting to work. Think of me leaving my last senior seminar class early to go to Mi Pueblo for a margarita as the silver lining to me getting in a car accident on my way to Mi Pueblo on Sunday. I wish I would have majored in “Taking greater control over your destiny”.
Happy Hump Day.
