so yesterday was very exciting! in addition to completing both meditations and 4-5 asanas my son and i went to see barack obama speak in charlotte! it was all spur of the moment and totally God... i have to also give credit to my time w/meditating and asanas as i know i wouldn't have listened and found out about this opportunity if i'd not been practicing as i would've been too "noisy" to hear.

it was a little after 2pm yesterday and that little, gentle voice (i know this to be God) inside my heart/head told me to turn on CNN. i'd been listening to obama's speach on race, etc. prior so was keen on his goings and comings for the day. about 3-5 minutes after turning on CNN (thanks to God's prompt) cooper anderson came on, he was live and aboard a plane w/barack just leaving fayetteville and heading for charlotte! he stated obama would be speaking at 3:30pm at the grady cole center! i got so excited and told my son (3 yoa) that we were going to see barack obama! he said "yeah! he'll be so happy when we tell him we painted his house!" (he and i had painted the new unifour democrats headquarters on sat. and all day there he kept talking about painting for "arock obama"... anyway, i called a few folks on the way and found that you were supposed to have tickets however i knew we would get to see him. sure enough, we got there about 5 minutes after he started speaking and we got to go in! it was so awesome and i was so excited that my son and i got to witness this wonderful piece of history!

i have no doubt that in the past i would've dismissed that quite, gentle voice or may not have heard it at all if it were not due to regular meditation and asana's/yoga in addition to my prayer and worship habits. all of these combined have made huge, positive differences in mine and my family's life in a very short amount of time and i can't wait to see what else is in store!
