The Universe is sending me a message. Loud and clear. And, as I continue to ignore or not follow through or look further into that message, it continues to bombard me with that same or very similar message, again and again! And I don’t really believe in coincidence or happenstance. I’m pretty darn convinced that everything happens for a reason.  I’ve just been in slow-mo and haven’t done anything more, yet!  The interesting thing is that, over the past couple of weeks, my mom has also been getting sent the same message, with regards to me, my health and my healing. She is my biggest advocat and support. Despite the crappy reason, that being my health, I think we’ve grown much closer since I’ve had Trigeminal Neuralgia. Since my parents are currently at the BC house, it took my momma and I a bit, but not too long, to learn that we are both receiving strikingly similar messages from the Universe and learning of many similar conversations, “chance” meetings, books on quite similar topics, articles, DVDs , well just so many things that we have decided that maybe we should open up those eyes of ours and see if there is anything to all of the information we’ve been receiving. And now that I may have piqued your curiosity, I will be ending this post with one word.  I want to get doing many of these things and perhaps I’ll do so soon. However, tonight it is unlikely. Because I spent the entire day upstairs, in bed. Yep, my little monkey and I had an “upstairs day”. I don’t want to get too negative tonight. I really don’t. So, I am ending on a short word. It is part of some of the information we, my mom and I, have been receiving.

Neuroplasticity. Okay, maybe not such a short word after all, but an important one.  Quick and very basic definition for tonight…because today was bad, very very bad and I don’t want to turn this into a rant again. Instead, I need to sleep!!!

Neuroplasticity: the brains ability to learn in response to experience.  So, the nervous system gets better at what it’s asked to do. It continues to learn, both positive and negative patterns. My current brain has learned to master the pain response. The more and more the pain comes, the more ready my body is for it. So, my body is on top of hitting me hard with pain. It’s learned to get good at it!!! There is a beautiful reversal to this though…and that will be left for tomorrow my friends.  After playschool!!

Hopefully one day I’ll get it right, or at least have fun, while about it I write!
