I asked why I was so tired and the universe answered. Within a day of my post I received three messages regarding the dangers of aspartame.  They all came from different sources in different ways, but they all said basically the same thing - Aspartame is poison to your body and can cause all sorts of health related issues.

I’ve intended to quit diet cokes for years, but this time I decided to listen to what the universe told me. It has been two weeks (it might not sound like a big deal unless you happen to be a diet coke addict like me.) and I have noticed a huge change in my energy level. I know it may be the placebo affect, but I don’t care, as long as I feel better.  I also haven’t had a migraine, other than the first couple of days when my caffeine intake dropped to nil.  Since then I’ve had a cup of coffee and glass of tea each day.  I’ve been extremely careful about aspartame and I’ve found it in lots of other drinks and foods.  I’m not 100% free of aspartame but at least I’m not polluting my body with it every minute of every day.

Even more importantly, I’m reminded of the power of thought.  When I asked the question, the universe (aka God) answered. Sometimes there is so much noise in my life I don’t hear the universe, and other times I choose not to listen.  I believe when we ignore the messages we receive, the universe just keeps pelting our closed window with pebbles until we either open up or the glass breaks.
