the frying pan on the head happens to all of us at one time or another. it sure hurts when it does happen. it happened to me 6 years ago, and i have never been the same again. that was the beginning of an exciting journey, that eventually led me to this place. it was a wake up call from the universe, and i was literally thrown off my comfortable bed. since then, i have learned to detect the little nudges that the universe gives me, and i promptly turn to the direction it leads me to. the lessons go smoother, with less bruises on my part. :d i'd say it is like surfing...you've to ride on top of the wave...don't get wiped out.
