When I listen, the Universe talks to me.

Recently, I named my new car Tina Turner.  Without deliberation, the idea popped into my head and stuck.  It made sense to me because my car is fast and sleek and sexy and black, just like Tina.  And its initials are TT.  Perfect.

And then I added her station to my Pandora.  I wanted to tap into her energy.  Reconnect.  I had sort of forgotten how truly cool she is.

First thing this morning, I propped up in bed with a cup of coffee and sifted through Instagram.  There she was, my Tina.   Liberatum, an artsy group I follow, posted an amazingly wild photo of Tina Turner on stage, shapely legs spread eagle, arms outstretched, face ablaze with uninhibited  joy.  Exuberance.  Fun unleashed.

They quote her: “My greatest beauty secret is being happy with myself.  I don’t use special creams or treatments – I’ll use a little bit of everything.  It’s a mistake to think you are what you put on yourself.  I believe that a lot of how you look is to do with how happy you feel about yourself and your life.  Happiness is the greatest beauty secret.” ~Tina Turner

Bravo!  Thank you Liberatum.  Thank you Tina Turner.  Thank you Universe for bringing her back into my life.
