Spiritually Speaking

I found this blog, Chicken Scratch linked from Creativity Portal. The title of the blog and the description caught my attention: “Observations on writing and taking pleasure of the small things in life. Want to learn to write beautifully? Pay attention to what a chicken scratches.”

I’ve either had to learn to take pleasure in the small things in life or live my life in misery. May as well enjoy those little things, eh? I would love to learn how to write beautifully and to stop comparing myself to those who do. Easier said than done. Bad habits are hard to break.

I took the Thursday Thirteen post as a sign to share this blog. It’s number Thursday Thirteen #33. I just looked at the clock and it said 11:11 am. I’ve been seeing that lately. Speaking of clocks, the digits of the time she submitted her posts adds up to 13. My daughter has been seeing the number 33 a lot.

What does it all mean? I believe there are universal meanings for the numbers, but I also believe that the meanings are also personal. On a personal level, the reasons for seeing these numbers may be similar and yet they are unique for each one of us. We all have our own circumstances, our own personal stories that have meaning only for ourselves.

Seeing these numbers can help to awaken us and to guide us spiritually. We then have the choice whether to become aware or to ignore these symbols. For some it may seem easier to just ignore them. For others, more difficult. If something is pulling at you to learn more, then why not listen to that voice? You might discover something about you or life itself that you never expected to learn.

I just looked at the clock again. It now says, 11:33 am.:)

I’ve had a cold for the past week or more (I’ve lost track of when it started), which turned into a sinus infection and then went back to a cold. I was needing to sneeze and it just wouldn’t come out and then the left side of my face swelled up like a balloon. I think there’s still a little bit of swelling, but compared to the way I’ve been feeling, right now I feel pretty darn good. And I finally sneezed a couple times, which gave me even more relief.

Now suddenly I watch television and at least one character on a few different shows have had some type of virus. I’m grateful not to be as sick as some of those characters.

In the meantime I’ve lost about five pounds. Which doesn’t hurt me a bit.

Now my daughter has a sore throat and a cough.:(

Please forgive me for my absence. I no longer have the time restraints as before. I’m stuck Uninspired. As I have been many times before. I’ve written some but for some reason I haven’t been able to finish it. I hope to be back to blogging soon. I miss you.

I haven’t had much time online since before January. My time has been limited due to the isp I’m using to help me financially. I have until April and then I’m not sure what I’ll do for an internet service provider. I’m not worried about it. Something will come to me just in time. It always does.

I hope all who celebrate Valentine’s Day enjoyed the day with a lot of love and peace. February 14 is the day I found out for sure that I was pregnant with my youngest child. I wasn’t on a spiritual journey back then and didn’t experience much peace within. I made my life quite chaotic. I’m glad those days are over and I’m also glad that I look back and see how far I’ve come, emotionally and spiritually. I don’t dwell on that time. I’m just glad to be in a much better place now then I was back then.

I’ll be back with more about synchronicity as soon as I can.

Free Glitter Graphics

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.
