I went to a Vishnu temple today with my friend. It was under renovation so the deities were placed temporarily in the hall. The presiding deity was Vishnu with Sri Devi and Bhu Devi and to his left and right were separate places for Lakshmi and Hanuman. I enjoyed visiting this temple, as it's my first time here and many people were there, so it was lively. I didn't see Vishnu's face clearly as the deity was rather deep inside but I am glad to see His form anyway.
I watched on Oprah that I should stop thinking I'm a victim if I want good things to come to me. Of course, I also believe in God's providence and karma but I think even these two are influenced by how much I open myself to positivity and grace. It's a bit hard to rewire parts of my thinking but really, I can do it and try it.
