Synchronicity

I am always amazed by synchronicities, and the more I take notice of them, the more they seem to occur. Remember this one?  How about this one? 

 

I usually write mine down each evening, and this past week was no exception, so I thought I would share a few of them.

Websters dictionary defines synchronicity as ":the coincidental occurrence of events and especially psychic events (as similar thoughts in widely separated persons or a mental image of an unexpected event before it happens) that seem related but are not explained by conventional mechanisms of causality —used especially in the psychology of C. G. Jung" 

 

I am not sure how I would define synchronicity.  I do believe that we attract whatever we put our focus on, and can deliberately attract to us, whatever we put our focus on.

 

First, I had an email from someone that suggested cleaning your front door, and or entryway, would up my vibration for more positive energy.  

 

So I promptly went home and cleaned my porch off and wiped down my front door.  I sent her an email and told her that even though I couldn't turn the sow's ear into a silk purse, it did up my vibration immediately.

 

I then went over to my Sweetie's and as we started watching an episode of the Munster's, Lilly gives Marilyn a silk purse made out of a sow's ear.

 

Bizarre, hmm?

 

The next morning as I was having a phone conversation with my daughter, telling her I thought I would give my cable provider a call to discuss my rates, when I had a call from an unidentified number, so I didn't click over.  Lo and behold, the caller left a voice mail identifying themselves as my cable provider wanting to discuss my rates and see how they could offer me a better deal.  Wow.

 

A couple nights later, some friends were over and we were all discussing scientology, the very next morning I walk into a store and the first thing I see is a magazine with the headline "My escape from scientology".

 

That night, I decided to visualize $100 bills, and the next day my first three customers handed me $100 bills.

 

Now I am not looking to attract silk purses or scientology, but I do want to attract better cable rates and $100 bills.

 

Abraham says it takes as little as 17 seconds of pure focus to begin attracting something into your physical reality.  

 

The Law of Attraction is always working whether we are deliberately focusing on what we want or what we don't want.

 

This past week of synchronicities reminded me of this and I don't know about you but I am going to spend more time deliberately focusing on what I do want to attract.

 

Until next time,

Green is Good - An amazing, fun, magical experience.

 

One Saturday afternoon my Sweetie arrived at my shop very excited about a synchronicity that had just taken place.

The evening before, he had been relaxing in his favorite room, the music room, sitting in his favorite chair, the "gold chair", listening to an album by a band he hadn’t listened to in ages, the New Riders of the Purple Sage.

As he sat there enjoying the music, he started reading an article in a magazine about a band he had never heard of before, but one that sounded interesting, called Tea Leaf Green from San Francisco.

Then this morning, out of the blue, one of his friends called from Florida and said he had been looking on the internet and noticed that the New Riders of the Purple Sage were going to be playing a concert in Cleveland, (about a 5 hour drive away), on the next day, which was Sunday, and there was another band playing called Tea Leaf Green.

Sweetie laughs, and tells him, I was just listening to the New Riders last night and reading an article about Tea Leaf Green.

Funny thing was, he and his friend hadn’t talked on the phone for weeks, and they had not ever discussed going to a New Riders of the Purple Sage concert.  

So Sweetie gets on the computer and looks up the concert.  Sure enough the New Riders were performing the next day and the opening act was none other than Tea Leaf Green!  

Can you believe it? What were the odds of that?

Sweetie was totally excited to go but the tickets were $150 each!  Plus it was a five hour drive which meant the cost of an overnight stay, too.

I could tell Sweetie was pretty excited, and seeing as how it seemed so synchronistic and all, I figured we should go for it.

So I called up the venue and asked if the ticket price online was correct, and if they still had tickets. Yes it was, and yes they did.  Seems it was a charity benefit and fundraiser, so that’s why tickets cost $150 each but we didn’t have an extra $300 we could spend that weekend on tickets.   

The cost of the tickets seemed to take the wind out of his sails, so I said, “Let’s not give up on it, maybe something will work out”.

The next morning I got up and headed out for my Sunday run.  As I was running, I remembered the concert was that evening and if we were going to go we needed to be on the road by noon. I thought about how strange it all was and I felt a strong desire to go but still didn’t have the $300 when I suddenly had a thought.  What if?

Since the concert was a fundraiser maybe someone had purchased tickets as a donation and had no plans on attending.   

So as soon as I got back to the house I called the number I had called the day before.  A really nice lady answered and I explained to her I had called the day before about the concert, I was five hours away and would love to attend, but couldn’t afford the $300 for the tickets. Had anyone possibly purchased tickets and wasn’t planning on attending? She said she had no clue but would call the person in charge of the tickets and ask. She took my number and said she’d call me back.

I decided to act as if it were a done deal and go ahead and get showered and packed and ready to leave in two hours, just in case. Road trips and concerts are two of my favorite fun activities.

Before I made it to the shower my phone rang.  It was the lady from the venue and she said, “If you are willing to drive five hours to attend this concert, come on, you don’t need any money, we will let you in for FREE!

I called up my Sweetie and told him to get packed and ready we were heading to see Tea Leaf Green and the New Riders of the Purple Sage, for FREE, and that I’d be there to pick him up at noon.  Needless to say, he was thrilled.

Come noon, as we were hitting the highway, with our cooler in the back seat, and a couple of sandwiches Sweetie made for our lunch, Sweetie starts expressing his doubts.  Yes, he agreed it was pretty wild how we were going to get in free and all but he had no clue whether this Tea Leaf Green would be any good.  Were we doing the right thing?

Just then a car passed us with a large bumper sticker that said, “Green is Good”.  I pointed it out and we both laughed. See? It’s a sign.  Just then, there was billboard by the side of the highway that said, “Got Music?” Then another car passed us with a sticker that said, “I believe in Magic”, then another that said, “Life is Good”.

I reminded Sweetie that I had won a one night stay at any Red Roof of my choice last fall and had never used my coupon, so when we stopped for fuel, I called the 1-800 number and they graciously made me a reservation, for FREE!

We had a fun drive and actually arrived pretty early. I even found some coins on the sidewalk. (A sure sign of easy money and good fortune)

When we went in, I told the lady I was the one who had called this morning and driven five hours, and she seemed happy we had made it.  She invited us to go backstage where there was a buffet.  

As we headed that way, Tea Leaf Green was just finishing their practice and sounded really good.  Sweetie told the band leader our synchronistic events and he said, “It was written in the stars”.

We headed backstage, got some FREE food and sat down at a table.  Sweetie went for a beverage and a bottle of water for me. 

As I waited for him, the band members of the New Riders of the Purple Sage walked up and asked were these seats taken?  Of course not! You can imagine the look on Sweetie’s face when he returns to the table and realizes I am eating and conversing with the members of the band.  When he confessed he forgot to bring me a bottle of water, the drummer for the band jumped up and said, “I’ll get you one off of our bus”.

Could it get any better?  Yes!

We had front row center seats for the whole show.  Unlimited free drinks.  We enjoyed two amazing concerts, both definitely worth the drive. Tea Leaf Green first, then the New Riders.

Then, after the show, the New Riders invited us to come on their tour bus for some photos and the drummer gave me both of his drumsticks (since I am a drummer), as a souvenir.

A Sign of the Hummingbird in Albuquerque

In honor of Father's Day coming up this week, I thought I would honor my father and share another sign of the hummingbird.

My Dad passed over in 2006 but as I've mentioned before, I truly believe we can still communicate.

I got my love of travel from my Dad.  I have wonderful childhood memories of stocking the cooler, packing the fishing rods, and heading out on the back roads of West Virginia to go fishing, camping, horse back riding, and just seeing the sights. 

Along with stopping to see every roadside attraction along the way, my dad was always pointing out the beauty of nature, from the flowers to the sky.

Dad & me fishing

I seemed to have passed on the love of travel to my daughter, and a few years ago, she and I took a trip to Albuquerque to see the sights.

My daughter and I in Albuquerque

 

At the Petrogylph Monument in Albuquerque

When we went to see the Petroglyph Monument, I was so overwhelmed with the beauty of nature, the rocks, the blue sky, the cacti, that I turned to my daughter and said, "I wish my Dad were here to see this, he would love it."

At that moment a hummingbird came right up to my head and began buzzing right beside my ear.  

My daughter said, "OMG, what is that?"

I said, "It's Dad!  He's letting me know he is here, he does see it and love it."

I love you, Dad. Happy Father's Day.

Until next time, here's to your lucky life!

Can Our Loved Ones Communicate with us in Dreams?

Do you believe it's possible to communicate with loved ones who have passed on?

My father passed away several years ago and before he died I asked him to send me a sign of a hummingbird if he could hear me when I talked to him. (You can read the whole story here.)

I really love synchronicities and I try to always write them down.  I came across this one in my journal today and thought I would share it with you. 

The following events all happened within a 24 hour period.

On the anniversary of my father's passing, I told him how much I missed him, loved him, and would love to have a sign from him, (the hummingbird), to show that he could still hear me.

That evening my Sweetie returned from a trip he had been on with a friend, and presented me with a hummingbird air freshener he saw in a convenient mart on the way home.

When I told him this was the anniversary of my father's passing, and I considered it my "sign", he said he had no clue today was the day.

The next day, a gentlemen came into my shop and began telling me that he had heard somewhere about people who have had their deceased loved ones come and talk to them in their dreams.  He had been dreaming of his son, who had passed away recently, and he wondered if his son was trying to tell him something. He came to ask me if I believed this was possible.

I told him that I have had dreams in which my father appears, many times, and yes, I do believe he communicates with me.

That evening, as Sweetie was preparing our dinner, I casually start reading the latest issue of Woman's World magazine, and in it was an article by Doreen Virtue about a man named Jackson whose father communicated to him in a dream. My father's name is Jackson so Jackson is my maiden name. 

Then, after dinner, Sweetie and I start watching our next episode of Northern Exposure, and the character Joel, falls asleep in the freezer at Holling's bar, and dreams his father and great grandfather are talking to him.

How's that for synchronicity? Do you believe we can communicate with our deceased loved ones?  Has it ever happened to you? Please share your story, I'd love to hear it.

Until next time,

Love and Luck to you.

Does anyone remember Amway?

A few weeks ago, I was thinking about reordering some of my vitamins and all of a sudden I thought of, or tried to think of, that company that was all the rage back in the 80's, and when I say "the rage" I mean, it seemed like everyone was talking about their products and/or was an authorized distributor.  

Back to my story, when I thought of them, I just couldn't recall the name of the company, no matter how hard I tried.  I even asked a few people and got a few strange looks.  No one could tell me their name. Periodically, throughout the day, I kept trying to remember it. Who knows why, have you ever done that?

As I have mentioned before, my Sweetie and I enjoy watching older movies, and we were currently trying to watch the various movies starring Bill Murray. We had ordered a copy of one called, Quick Change, and the mailman delivered the DVD I had ordered, that same day.
 
I sent Sweetie a message and told him our movie had arrived and we made plans to watch it that evening. 

Sweetie sent me another message telling me that the bank, just two blocks from my shop, was currently being held up. The whole block was surrounded and barricaded.  It was biggest excitement in town in years!

So that evening, after dinner, we start watching our movie, Quick Change, which is about three people robbing a bank! (Bill Murray's character being one of them).  How's that for synchronicity?

Then, the character played by Geena Davis, suddenly mentions Amway. 

I got so excited.  The very information I was trying to remember, all day long, and there it was, in the movie.  I asked Sweetie, does Amway even exist anymore?  Are there still Amway distributors?  I hadn't heard anything of them since I was a teenager. Of course I didn't really need the answer, I was just curious. 

Three days later as I am on my way to my shop, a car pulls up beside me at a light.  I look over, and low and behold, there on the side of the car is one of those magnetic signs advertising Amway! 

Once again, it just goes to show, that whenever we give pure thought to something, anything, whether wanted or not wanted, important or trivial, the Universe begins manifesting it in our reality.

What a wonderful power we have to manifest our desires. I love it!

Until next time.

Love and Luck,

Take The Money And Run!

"This here's a story about Billy Joe and Bobbie Sue
Two young lovers with nothin' better to do...Bobbie Sue took the money and run.
Go on take the money and run."

Steve Miller Band "Take the Money and Run"

This here's a story about Shayne and Kathleen...

One hot Monday afternoon in August 2005, my friend Shayne ran into an old school friend who mentioned that the Steve Miller Band was playing that Thursday about three hours away, and both of us being Steve Miller fans, wanted to go. So I called the venue and yes, they still had tickets and the show started at 8pm.

I run my own business which is open until 6pm so I had a slight problem.  The concert was three hours away which meant I had to be on the road no later than 5pm.  I don't have any employees but every now and then my daughter will hold down the fort while I take off, but no luck there as she had to work her regular job.  I called around and asked other friends and family but still no luck. So I sort of resigned myself to no Steve Miller concert.

Thursday evening about 4:58pm Shayne says it sure would be fun to go to the Steve Miller Band concert and if we left right then we could probably make it on time. Being the conscientious businesswoman I am, I never close early but I stopped for a moment and thought about it.  What would matter most in ten years? If I had closed one hour early or had a fun time?  So I decided right then, to go.  I looked at Shayne and said, "Let's take the money and go."  At that very instant the radio began playing Steve Miller Band's "Take the money and run.".
Shayne said "Do you hear that?", I said, "It's a sign".  So we put a note on the door, took the money, and hopped in the car.

So we are driving down the road and realized we have no tickets.  So I call the box office and all they have are lawn tickets.  So I said "thanks" and hung up.  When I go to a concert I want to be up close!  Shayne asked if they were sold out and I said "No, but they only had lawn".  He said I should have bought them but I said "Maybe there will be someone out front selling front row seats.".  Shayne said, "There's not going to be anyone selling front row tickets, but I once knew a guy who got a third row ticket out front.".  So I said, "I'll take third row!".

We pull into a parking space at the venue at exactly 8pm.  As we are walking up the path toward the box office a man steps onto the path and asks "Do you need tickets?".  I ask, "What do you have?" He said, and I kid you not, "Third row center".  Shayne's jaw hit the ground, I laughed and asked how much.  The tickets were cover price, no fees.  I bought them.  All the way to the gate Shayne kept asking me if I thought they were real.. Of course I did.

At the gate, they scanned our tickets and usher us to the pit!  They were third row pit seats!  Steve Miller would practically be sweating on us!  Shayne and I both agreed how lucky we were with these fantastic seats.  Then I said all I needed now was a guitar pick from the band.

Well, the Steve Miller Band started playing about 8:30, it was a beautiful summer night, and there was a full moon too.  The concert was fantastic!  The band members threw out their picks but I didn't get one.  They came back for an encore, threw out more picks, still none, then Shayne turned to me and said "Well, I guess you didn't get your pick" and just then a pick literally hit him on the side of the head and fell into his lap.  He said "What's this?"...I said, "My pick!".


So now my motto is "Take the money and run". 

Here's a photo of my ticket, pick, and the note that we put on the door that day.

This year on the sixth anniversary of this event, the guy who had told Shayne about the concert came by about 4:58 pm, and I was telling him that this was the moment I decided to go and at just that moment the radio began playing as if on cue, "Take The Money and Run" by the Steve Miller Band.  It gave me chills.
I Love it!
Isn't Life amazing?
I love synchronicity!
