Last week so many lucky things happened to me. I got a new yoga job teaching at the University of Utah, I met someone who informed me about Ayurveda school, I got to hear CJ's voice (though he is 6000 miles away in the Philippines), I found a yummy new bakery, and I was a faerie all day saturday. Here's what Pierro Ferrucci has to say about luck:By being more attentive, you are also luckier. How come some people always seem to be lucky, and all the coincidences go their way? Is it just chance, or is there another reason? An English psychologist, Richard Wiseman, discovered that lucky people were lucky because of personal characteristics rather than some mysterious fate. He found that it was their character. Through interviews and tests, Wiseman found among other things that lucky people are more relaxed, and that they tend to see not only what they are looking for, but also what then are not looking for. They are open to the unexpected, while others less lucky...are more closed--they look only for what they have in mind, and often do not find it.
This past week I've tried to let go of plans, and welcome the unexpected. I've paid more attention to each moment, and have become lucky because of it. I can't wait to see what else is in store for me. Luckiness is indeed attentivesness. This I believe.

You are lucky. What an interesting quote. I like that.
I have had a similar experience this past week with luck and just feeling more in tune with the energy flow of the universe. I would definitely attribute it to being attentive and being in the moment. (Sigh)...it's nice and peaceful:)
That's awesome about your new Yoga job at the U, congratulations! I would love to hear the details.
