I Made Space... HELP!?!?

For January I often lean into Genesha, after chanting to Shiva in December and letting go of my "stuff" sometimes I want some extra help getting past a few more things, and if you have obstacles in your life this is the guy to call upon. I've written about Ganesha here where you can learn about his story and my love of cake. I still love cake.

First let me say that my letting go of what no longer served me last month served me well. On December 11 we got a text from our real estate agent that someone had reached out to her about our house, which we had taken off the market in September to wait for spring. They wanted to see it. By December 23 we had agreed on an offer, and conditions were lifted on January first. So in 20 days we went from our house is not on the market, to gettting ready to show, showing it twice, getting ready for a home inspection AND HOSTING CHRISTMAS. So it was a busy 20 days. Thanks Shiva!

A friend of mine shared this picture about the Chinese horoscope for last year and the next and well, spot on.

I suspect that I will be calling on Shiva a bit in the next 3 months as we pack and thin out our belongings. But I also feel like there will be a few hiccups along the way and obstacles that pop up . So this month we chant to Ganesha. The remover of obstacles.

Om Gam Ganapataye Namaha

This was actually the first mantra I ever learned and the the thing that sticks out for me now is that Ganesha has a sense of humour so the "removal" often is unexpected and unpredictable. So it might, at first, seem like a set back when in fact it is just what you need. So here is to meeting the unforeseen with grace and moving forward into all that space we created letting go. So as my "year of the the horse" charges forward into new territory may my obstacles be removed and easy to avoid. Hitting a fence at full throttle is not the best.
