"Follow your instincts. That's where true wisdom manifests itself." Oprah Winfrey
We are presented with decisions everyday. How often do you follow your intuition?
I have a wild over active imagination. If I could visualize intuition I imagine I'd see random sparks of light. I think it would feel like having a magnet in the pit of my stomach and giving in to the phenomenon of forces they way we do on carnival rides and roller coasters. And a blind faith that even though we are hurling through space there is something protecting us. I'm sure I've been saved countless times by following my intuition.
