The Day After My Birthday – 22 and 44 Revisited

Friday, November 23rd, 2007

Life is full of lessons. We all have to learn them or pay the consequences. When we get tired enough of learning the lessons, that’s when we change what we do.

Well, yesterday was my 44th birthday and today is Thanksgiving Day and the 22nd of the month. I had been noticing the numbers 22 and 44 a lot back in February. Although the synchronicities had stopped the meanings of those symbols have continued on and now I’m seeing them again.

Sometimes I question myself wondering if, when I was not in focus, I lacked awareness of any synchronicities. If so, I have had synchronicities, just not anything that I wanted to share including the number sequences of 22, 44, 222, and 444.

I wanted to write this down today because of the date and because of me turning 44 yesterday. If it means something, time will reveal whatever it may be when it’s ready.

I can’t stress enough how important it is to always be aware. And when you get out of focus, find your way back as soon as you can. But also, keep it fun. Fun and Focused. I kind of like that.

Wild Pomegranates and Butterflies

Thursday, November 22nd, 2007

This past June I came across a wonderful blog that I just couldn’t stop reading. I started to write about it then, but for some reason I got stuck. I said that I was going to write about her blog and then I never finished it. I don’t know why and I’m so sorry for that because now the blog is gone. But not is all lost because there is another blog.

When I first found “The 13 Graces” blog, the title itself immediately caught my attention because of the number 13 and because of the word, “Graces”, which means a lot to me personally and spiritually. There was a blog post that she wrote that captured my attention but now I don’t remember what it was about.

My belief is strong enough now to say with my whole heart, that we are all connected. We are all connected spiritually. With each synchronicity that connects me with another person, my belief grows stronger and it pleases me so much to have these spiritually driven experiences. It helps me to feel like I really am part of the whole. And if everyone would embrace this Oneness with his or her heart and soul, then there would be more peace in this world.

I found Grace’s blog yesterday, November 20th, the same day that she wrote about the pomegranate being a symbol of New Beginnings: birth/death/rebirth, just as butterflies are. She also posted a painting of ”Venus Verticordia”, by Dante Gabriel Rossetti (below). Beautiful, isn’t she? And from what little I know about Grace, so is she.

I feel like I’ve been given a special gift when I find an inspirational blogger who is open and honest and allows him/herself to be vulnerable. It helps me to not only feel connected to that person, but also to gain the courage to do the same. For me it may take awhile, and sometimes I seem to retreat back into myself, but I think a little more comes out of me with each new connection.

If you want to have your soul to be touched by another beautiful soul, gently, and with grace, I encourage you to read The Wild Pomegranate. (I’m sorry it took so long…again.)

I found this painting that I had originally had another link from another web site. I didn’t want to infringe on Linda Herzog’s copyright and am glad I found this so that I can display the painting without doing that.

Oh, and today is birthday number 44.

Back in Focus

Tuesday, November 13th, 2007

I know. It’s been seven months since I’ve written anything here. This is what happens when you lose focus. Synchronicities? I’ve had many, but I have been lazy in writing most of them down. Some I’ve written on my other blog because they seemed to fit with what I wanted to write there.

I was reading the personal history of Carol Adrienne and it woke me up to the fact that I am, or at least I was, at one time, a teacher of synchronicity who had left her class high and dry. For that I apologize.

When I say “my class”, I’m referring to anyone who I have helped to understand synchronicity better. I don’t want anyone to think I’m on a big ego trip and that I know all there is to know about synchronicity. Hey, I still have a lot to learn, which is, I’m sure, why I was led back to Carol Adrienne’s web site not long after she resumed blogging.

I’m a big believer in teaching what we want to learn. I’m not even sure why this is. Maybe it’s simply because it helps me to know that I’m not alone in my quest to know whatever it is I want to know. And teaching what you are interested in can be fun. And so is learning what you are interested in.

Sometime ago, I said that I was going to write about a blog that I had found and then I was gone. Again, I apologize. I started to write it and I think it’s in draft mode. I’ll find out and if I can, I’ll finish writing it up today.

I think I should change the title of this blog. I already have other blogs called, “Soulful Writer”. I think this should say something more that has to do with synchronicity. Any ideas? Any and all suggestions would be helpful and much appreciated.

I do have some synchronicities to share and also some lessons that I have learned.

So, yes, I do believe I’m back in focus and my intent is to stay in focus as much as possible.

It’s good to be back!:)
