Star Wars

May the 4th Be With You

“A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense, never for attack.”

“Fear is the path to the dark side…fear leads to anger… anger leads to hate… hate leads to suffering.” – Yoda

            Who knew Yoda had so many good quotes?  Who knew how relevant they are to today’s world?  We are living right now in a time of his quote above about fear.  There is so much anger and hate right now going on in this world.  How does one deal with this and move on with a prosperous life?  Here is my Yoda like quote for today, “One must stay in one’s own lane.  Go within!”  The better you are about going inside of yourself for your answers, the more you will radiate goodness out into the world.

            This weekend was one of shifts and emotional upheavals for me.  I had a few things trigger me (imagine that) and just felt, well, kind of hopeless.  I woke up today with a new attitude and ready to march into my week. Something shifted overnight. I had clear visions and words coming through to me and therefore my sleep wasn’t going so well. The interesting thing is I woke up feeling refreshed.  The Universe was giving me lessons and still taking care of me at the same time.  For that I am grateful.

            The lessons coming through last night were, I believe, sparked by me reading Alicia Keys’ new memoir, More Myself.  She peels back the layers of herself as she continues along on her journey of life.  Each layer reveals a deeper part of her. I am only half way through the book and already can’t wait for the ending to see where she ends up on this path.  She talks a lot about energetics, especially around the words that come out of your mouth.  I totally dig all of this myself. What we put out to the Universe, will come back to us bigger.  For example, if you keep complaining, you are going to attract more things to complain about.  I stopped and realized what my thinking had been the last few months – completely stinking thinking. Today was a new day!

            Another of the lessons that came through last night were around who you surround yourself with and the conversations that you have with them.  I decided this morning to make a list of inspirational people that I would invite to a party to absorb their good energy.  Of course, Alicia and her husband made the list.  Reading their stories in this book made me realize that they surround themselves with high vibe folks. This is super important if you want to bring those high vibes into your own life.  I felt last night that I let go a part of my life that had me having conversations with folks that were low vibes.  I literally saw the cords being cut and felt that energy go away.

   We are being constantly reminded, especially lately, that time is of the essence.  Time, words, and energy are a big deal if you want to live that big, prosperous life.  Focusing on lack will bring you more lack.  Today I choose to focus on prosperity and am opening myself up to receive the abundance I know that is out there for me.  There is enough around for everyone, we just have to want it bad enough. This week will be one of quiet and clarity.  I’m ready to put together the big picture of what I want from life and what I want to give out in life.  If I am prosperous than I can help others. I must put my own oxygen mask on first.

Kurt Cobain, Is That You?

We ended our day in Seattle by dining at a wonderful restaurant called the Crow (www.eatacrow.com) with our good friends that moved to Seattle from here in Park City. Along with an impressive bar menu (Whenever I leave Utah anything is an impressive bar menu, but this really was one!) the menu offered many delectable items. I decided to partake in the King Salmon since I was near the open waters and needed to fulfill my seafood cravings. It was delicious. Follow that up with an impressive dessert, a glass of Prosecco, all the walking we did and this girl was more than ready for bed. The next day saw us at the EMP Museum (http://www.empmuseum.org). According to their website, "EMP is a leading-edge nonprofit museum, dedicated to the ideas and risk-taking that fuel contemporary popular culture. With its roots in rock 'n' roll, EMP serves as a gateway museum, reaching multigenerational audiences through our collections, exhibitions, and educational programs, using interactive technologies to engage and empower our visitors. At EMP, artists, audiences and ideas converge, bringing understanding, interpretation, and scholarship to the popular culture of our time." That all sounds very cool, and the museum certainly lived up to its name.

We started our tour of the museum by visiting the Star Wars Costumes Exhibit. There were literally dozens of amazing costumes from all of the movies, from Luke Skywalker to Chewbacca. My son is a huge fan and this exhibit really held his attention. The other exhibit that certainly held his attention was the room with all the video games in it. It was like walking into a life-size Mindcraft Game. There was begging and pleading to get him out of that room.

While my son was busy in the Mindcraft room, I wandered over to the hallway that was filled with Nirvana goodies. This Seattle based band was and still is one of my favorites. As I wandered the halls and looked at guitars, sheet music, cool photos from when the band was on tour, I could have sworn the ghost of Kurt Cobain was joining me on my tour. If you are a fan, do not miss this museum.

The EMP Museum has so much to offer every member of the family. We spent a lot of time in the Jam rooms. We were able to be "in-studio" while practicing our vocals, playing the drums, guitar and keyboards. Now mind you, I am so not ready to try out for the Voice. However, it was a treat to watch Adam Levine and the rest of Maroon 5 in a music video projected on a movie theater-sized screen. Of course we all had to dance and sing along. Don't worry, the rest of the crazy tourists were doing the same.

With our time in Seattle coming to a close, we bid farewell to the museum and it's helpful staff. One more stop in Cannon Beach, OR and we were on our way back to Park City!
