Gratituesday 7.31.18 - Ganesha: The Remover of Obstacles

Ganesha, the Hindu deity has always resonated with me. I am not sure why. But today when I got my eyebrows threaded I noticed a statue of Ganesha: The Remover of Obstacles as I got up from the chair. From The Chopra Center's website, "Ganesha is honored throughout Indian and in Hindu cultures, at both secular and religious ceremonies. When someone launches a new business or moves into a new home, for example, the elephant-headed god is invoked to bless the venture."

As my life - both personal and business are totally influx right now, I'll take as much removal of obstacles as I can get! It's no surprise that Ganesha appeared just when I needed him most. There has been quite a bit of obstacle as I buy an apartment and grown my business. I'm due for a bit of smooth sailing. In the meantime, here are my Weekly Lists! Wanna join me?
