(I discovered this post unpublished in my dashboard on this site, so I’m making it live today, years after this happened…wow.)
A friend we’ll call Jeanne visiting last week lamented that synchronicities aren’t happening for her these days.
Believe they’ll happen…expect them, I replied.
As Jeanne headed to her car, and I stood on the porch in the sun, she turned back to me, noticing our house number
One, three, nine…I can’t believe it! One for Divinity, three for the Trinity, and Nine for three times that, my friend proclaimed.
Just as Jeanne finished speaking, church bells rang out.
I raised my hands to the Heavens as she smiled wider than I’ve seen in a long time.
Synchronicity!
Wonderful.
What do you think about this idea of belief and results? Of synchronicity?
Have you seen the positive and negative side of this?
Have you believed someone isn’t safe as they leave the house, and then received a call from the hospital?
Have you believed you’ll have an amazing time at an event, and you do?
Have you believed you’ll get a job?
Believed you’ll be partners with someone you just met?
Held fear about traveling somewhere, and gotten into an accident?
Our thoughts are potent, ladies and gentleman.
We are powerful creators of our experiences.
Years before The Secret, What the Bleep, and sites, articles, and books about creating the lives we want, I unwittingly engaged The Law of Attraction.
Applying as a teen for the Americans Abroad Program of American Field Service (AFS), I sat down each night to focus on becoming selected, imagining myself living overseas.
Day after day, this strong desire led me to believe an international outcome with my whole heart.
Lo and behold, I was selected, spending the summer of 1975 with a dear family on the Asian side of Istanbul, Turkey.
In 2007, when my husband and I moved to these mountains, after lots of work releasing my cellular ties to Ohio, journal writing, and tears, I came to clarity.
Every fiber in my being held a deep faith that I’d live into an amazing life, that everyone I needed would enter my life, and that my healing had stalled in Ohio.
The form it took was a divinely orchestrated symphony that has become Jeanne’s favorite tale of happily ever after.
When our marriage ended a year after the move, Ben (who’d seen me the year before as he received a knowing that we’d be together) came into my life.
Accelerated healing entered spiritually, mentally, and physically these last few years, until I found my voice, found myself aligning, and found my soul starting to live into its purpose.
Hallelujah!
And when it became clear that this was the home Ben and I were meant to occupy, it felt too good to be true, until we realized we’d named nearly every element on paper a few years before.
Of course!
We called this house into being.
Dear readers, what is it you desire?
May you believe it.
May you desire it completely, perhaps writing it down and meditating on it. How you pray to your higher power, or offer it to the Universe, is an individual path just right for you.
May you receive it.
My heart’s desire is to serve more clients as their spiritual/joyful mentor, so I’ll breathe into my client load filling up as you assist, if you’ll be so kind.
Please contact me and offer my contact information to anyone you believe could benefit by working with me. I offer complimentary 30-minute calls to see if we’re a good fit.
I’ve been led through years of healing layers of perfectionism, wounding, and ego into a soulful peace and joy; I received certification in spiritual direction from a rich program, including Jungian psychology and varied spiritual traditions; and when I sink into sacred listening with clients in person or on the telephone, I receive the grace and wisdom of the Universe.
I’m in joy serving clients, watching them blossom into their peace and joy.
Thank you so much.
