I’ve been wanting to blog, but I haven’t known what I wanted to blog about. But hey, it’s the 22nd of August and I’ve been seeing that number all. day. long. On line and on the clock. As I’m writing this, it’s 11:11 p.m.:) You’d think it would be easy to have synchronicities on line because the internet is endless. But for me, it’s as normal as being out walking in the city.

I’ve had had too many experiences with this number to consider it meaningless. Besides, synchronicites are full of meaning. It’s lead me right to this moment and yet it doesn’t seem to be finished with me yet. When I say “it”, I’m referring to the messages that I continue to receive in the form of this number 22.

The one message that has become abundantly clear to me is that the Universe is truly magic and…maybe it’s just my imagination, but I feel so loved when I keep seeing that number. This has been on my mind for awhile and has given me another thought.

(Side note) So, when I look at it like this, I must not truly believe that it’s just my imagination running away with me. I’m not sure about that.

I think of synchronicity as a message of love from the Cosmos showing us the path to our destiny where we will experience more love. God is leading us on our path with them. And God is Love, after all.

When I first began experiencing this sweet magic of the Universe, I had no idea what it was all about and that it would lead me to where I am today. I’ve learned so much since then. And now, I’m considering what I can do with this knowledge.

What can I do with this knowledge in the realms of being in service? After all, we are here to serve.

My question is and always has been, “How may I serve YOU?”

P.S. I’ve had this blog post I wrote in 2001 on my mind all day: The Kiss

With Love,
Diana

More and more creative people find they do their best work when they’re feeling healthy and secure. We know writers who no longer need to be drunk or in agony in order to shed the numbness of their daily routine and tap into the full powers of their imagination. We have filmmaker friends whose best work flows not from the depths of alienated self-doubt but rather from the heights of well-earned bliss. Singer-songwriter P.J. Harvey is the patron saint of this new breed. “When I’m contented, I’m more open to receiving a lot of inspiration,” she has testified. “I’m most creative when I feel safe and happy.

I’ve had a blog post in the Draft folder since June 14th. It includes this excerpt and my thoughts about how it relates to me, but because thankfully, I’m not in the same place that I was in emotionally then, I want to do some editing and I don’t know how long that will take. Soon, I hope.

It’s so good to be back blogging here. ~SIGH~ What a relief!

Everything happens for a reason. For a higher purpose. Our soul’s purpose. When the time has come, the answers will be revealed to us. Sometimes less quickly then we’d like, but remember it’s in Divine Time. Not our time.

Fantasies, imagination and daydreams are all healthy unless and until they get out of control. Some people take their fantasies too far. Far beyond authentic living where the secrets lie. Meaning inauthentic living or out of authentic living. And there the ego is allowed to take control where no man should authentically go…without the Soul to console.

When does one say enough is enough? When it’s too close for comfort? When names are revealed?

P.S.: I would tend to have more faith in the Soul my Soul has been following in order to serve.

Perfect timing…

I must be a monkey

It’s World Water Day. If you have clean drinking water, you are blessed. I feel blessed knowing that my water is safe to use. There are many people who don’t even have a toilet to flush.

My daughter’s father’s family is from Guatemala. They have a limit on how much water they are allowed to use per day. When it comes to showering, it’s first come first serve there. Once the water runs out there is no more until the  following day.

I’m not a role model for conserving water. I don’t fill the sink up for dish water. Sometimes I put water in a bowl and refill it as needed but not always. Sometimes I leave the water on while washing a dish.

I also flush the toilet when I’m finished. If my daughter goes to the bathroom when I’m finished and if I don’t flush, I worry that she might get some splash of my pee on her. And visa versa. I think that’s just gross and unsanitary. So, we both flush.

Except when the toilet looks like it’s ready to flood in which case I leave a note for my daughter saying “Please do not flush”. I don’t want to embarass anyone by going into detail about it. I’ll just say this: Gross.

Maybe writing this will help me to remember to be a better water conserver.

Speaking of water, I love the ocean, but I don’t know if I still want to have a beach house. Or if I’d want to live too close to the ocean. Tsunamis and hurricanes scare me.

But I shouldn’t let that stop me, right? I still want to be near the ocean. I’ve only been to the ocean once that I can remember. That was 30 years ago when I was in bootcamp. It was a hot summer day in Myrtle Beach, SC.

Respect the water.

“It’s time…Woo?” (ghost of Milo)

Ever seen the movie, “Heart and Souls?” That is one of my favorite scenes. When the ghost of the bus driver tells the other ghosts that it’s time for them to go with him to be reincarnated. It’s a sweet and corny movie.

The wish for a big hug chokes me up every time. It’s so sweet.

Well anyway, this is my way of saying that it’s time for my return to blogging here. Of course, it’s no coincidence that my muse is ready right now. There are no accidents. There are, however, many synchronicities and perfect divine timing.

Anyone unable to attend the healing ceremony will be able to be with those in attendance in spirit, including Dr. Simon and his family by meditating from where we are at the same time as the group meditation which will be at 5:45 to 6:15 p.m. (PST).

“Our intention for this event is to create a way for the extended community to come together with the collective intention for healing –– both for David and all those coping with difficult health situations.”

I’m sending my love and healing energy to Dr. Simon and anyone else conflicted with health problems. I’m also sending love and blessings to everyone at the Chopra Center and all involved in this healing ceremony.

See you in the Gap.

Namaste

Cool. It’s 1-1-11. It’s like seeing 11:11 on the clock all day. It means angels are near. Make a wish.:) (Yesterday from Twitter.)

At the end of 2009 and the beginning of 2010, I felt an energy flowing through me that I didn’t understand. I read other blogs that also spoke of an energy. Many called it a shift. Or an energy shift. That’s a good way of describing it.

I can explain some of it, but by doing that I would need to explain more than I’m ready to right now. I’ve shared some of my story and now I wonder if maybe I shouldn’t have. But, what’s done is done and the best we all can do is live in the present moment by not fretting about the past or worrying about the future. And embrace the unknown. Easier said than done, I know.

Since I’m not one for keeping New Year’s resolutions, I haven’t nor am I going to be making any once again this year. If I really want to accomplish something, it doesn’t matter if it’s in the beginning of the year, the middle of the year, or the end of the year, unless there’s a specific time I want to accomplish whatever it is.

I’m also not one for sharing my plans before I begin a project. It’s better for me, personally, to keep my goals to myself for awhile, at least until I’m in the middle of it or almost finished. But it depends on the type of project and whether I want feedback or not.

I’m not going to say I’m excited about the new year because I don’t know what it’s going to bring. I may not be so excited by some of it. Better to stay neutral and just take it as it happens. In other words, remain detached. Something else that’s easier said than done.

Those that I say are easier said than done are not impossible to accomplish, either.

Tips:

Live in the present moment
Embrace the unknown
Practice detachment

So, I’m not going to share what I’m planning on doing this year. Not until I feel the time is right.

Blessings

I was going to post this quote on Twitter Friday night before I got off the internet. But after reading it a couple of times, I decided against it because I’m still not sure what it means to me.

Maybe having it here will help me. I’m not sure how yet, but anyway, I was given a request to post it here, so, I am.

I’ve been seeing Eagles lately. One in flight. Gliding through the air so free. Looked like s/he was thoroughly enjoying him/herself. I even noticed the beautiful creature turning on it’s side like I’ve seen the F-16s do during an airshow. So amazing.

I’ve been having songs on the brain lately, too. One song at a time. And it’s usually because of one line in the song. Sometimes one or two more. The songs are usually songs I listen to on a Christian radio station. I wish there was a spiritual radio station here. ~sigh~

But the songs I hear mean so much to me. They are divine love songs. And they always remind me of my spiritual experiences. Because of them, I’m closer to God then I’ve ever been in my life.

I don’t think I could explain this mystery even if I wanted to. And I’m enjoying it so much. Some spiritual experiences I recently had has changed my perception so much I feel like I’ve been reborn. In a way I think I have. But I have a feeling it won’t be the last time. I certainly do want it to happen again. But I hope it never becomes normal for me. Because then I don’t think it will seem like such a mystery any more and I won’t have that same awestruck feeling. I love that feeling.:)

In the past, I’ve experienced synchronicities enough for me to take notice and want to understand what they could mean for me in my life. Butterflies, for instance. They showed me that I am not alone. We, are not alone.

In the beginning of this journey, I thought of God (the Universe, Spirit) as being wherever we are, but not within us. The butterflies to me, were a way for God to whisper to me. Letting me know he’s near. I still believe that. But now I know he is even closer than I ever imagined. And that is what I have been learning since those dreams.

The energy that I’ve been feeling, is God revealing himself to me. He’s letting me know in a less subtle manner that he truly is within me and you.

Look where the synchronicities have taken me. I’ve been interested in the subject of consciousness for years and just didn’t seem to be able to grasp the concept.  ~smiles~ I think something was triggered inside my brain to help me to understand it a little better. Or at least to open  me up more to make it easier to learn. Maybe a little of both.

Suddenly I have a better understanding of what teachers of consciousness are teaching us. Not everything. I’ll read what has been written on line few times and I’ll think about it. Sometimes I get it (I think) and sometimes not…yet. And other times, it’s like an ah-ha moment for me.

My sense of identity broke down and was replaced by something that is very hard to put into words. Awareness, Consciousness.
~Eckhart Tolle~

My symbol. The butterfly. It’s not how my synchronistic journey began. But butterflies are what made me believe. They helped me to see me and you, dear reader, as more than just a body with a mind. Butterflies opened my eyes and my heart to hear the whispers of my Soul, that listens to God (or whatever name you choose).

The butterfly is a symbol of transformation. Of rebirth and renewal. I wrote on my other blog about the new year and mentioned new beginnings. I wasn’t looking for this graphic, but I didn’t have to, either. That’s what synchronicity is all about. Meaningful coincidences.

We don’t have to go looking for the signs, it will be as if they come to us, if we are open to accept them.

I just looked at the clock and it said, 11:44. Two numbers which I have been seeing a lot lately: 11 and 44. Yes, I’m still seeing the number 44 and from what I’ve seen looking at my stats, so have quite a few other people.

This tells me that I should do some more reading and research and some more writing about it. I want to help you if I can. I’m not an expert but I will share whatever I can.

The butterfly goes through such a dramatic change and they become so beautiful in their final form, but, I think caterpillars are beautiful, too. There is beauty in all. All we have to do is look with our Souls.

Happy New Year!

Be Blessed.

A comment I received (and my reply) for this blog post. Bless you:

* I still see 11:11 from time-to-time. I’m not as aware right now as I was in March of 2007, but I’m just patiently waiting for another cycle of hyper-awareness. That is when I see the most synchronicity. I did have one the other day, though. My mother and I were talking on the phone and she started talking about a coworker of hers named “Frank”. Right after she said his name, I heard my husband say, “Hi, Frank.” He was greeting our next door neighbor. The timing was perfect and made me happy to experience one when I thought that lately they had been hiding from me.Here’s to a year full of synchronicity!

* I see 11:11 sometimes, too. A year or two ago I kept seeing it almost on a daily basis. I just knew there had to be something to it.:) It does make you feel good, doesn’t it? I’m looking forward to many more! And thank you for sharing this with me. I hope you are feeling better. For me, when I’m experiencing negativity, that seems to block the synchronicities. It could be because that’s what I’m focusing on rather than these signs and symbols.
