A few weeks ago I was following a discussion thread about synchronicities, specifically the 1111 “phenomenon.” It turned a little interesting when someone mentioned that we see what we want to see. So true! I personally believe in free will, that we make our own choices. It is our choices in life that creates our reality. Yet, we are ALL interconnected so it is the choices and energy of all life that fine-tune our experiences. When we put out a thought, we attract similar thoughts, similar energy. This is the Law of Attraction.
As I’ve written in previous posts, synchronicities are signs along our path. Lots of synchronicities equates to the notion that our life is in balance and we are “going with the flow,” we are living in harmony with our life’s path.
But, seeking signs and messages is not the same! A sign or message needs to be noticed, not sought. They occur as something out of the ordinary, causing us to take notice. Many times they will occur in 3s. They are usually felt as an “ahhhh” moment.
If I were to crawl around a field long enough looking, I would find a four-leaf clover. Not the same as sitting down and seeing one right next to you.
Or, if I were to lay down outside and watch the sky for a period of time, I’m sure that I could make out a cloud that looks like an angel or a heart. Not the same as being distracted from what you are doing, glancing up at the sky and seeing a distinct image in the clouds.
Or, what is becoming more common as people are searching more desperately for answers are those that go to multiple intuitives till they find one that answers their questions the way they want them answered.
Or, reading multiple “horoscopes” until one is found that resonates with what feels right. Not the same.
If nothing ever changed, there’d be no butterflies.

After a long period of analyzing, thinking and listening to messages, it is time for me to make some changes. I’ve owned my own herbal and natural products business for the last 11 years; making soaps, lotions, oils, etc. The time has come to dissolve the business and allow new doors of opportunity to open. One reason is that the pricing of my raw materials is skyrocketing and the shipping fees have become prohibitively expensive. My profit margins are not enough to justify continuing the business. Another reason is that my pleasure in creating the products is no longer there. It’s time to change direction when an endeavor becomes an energy draw. So, I’m in the process of tying together all loose ends. I start a new job on Monday that I am very excited about.
Letting go of stagnant energy allows for new opportunities to enter. Also see my related post: When the universe speaks.
Today’s post is in response to BlogCatalog’s May 15, 2008 “Bloggers Unite for Human Rights.” I chose not to pick one particular issue of human rights to discuss. The following quote points out the importance of recognizing our interconnectedness to all others.
“We all matter. Every one of us has an essential contribution to make, and we can do so only by taking the risk of being uniquely our own selves.” ~ Carol S. Pearson
“As we grow in knowledge and understanding of ourselves, we discover our unique abilities and opportunities for self-expression. We find the validity of our own experience, viewpoints, and talents. Even our particular difficulties and flaws can be seen as special challenges for growth.
The insight we gain into our true selves reveals our similarity and interconnectedness to all others. We are each an important part of many larger systems. Discovering our part and contribution we can make grows out of an inner quest for self-discovery. As Duane Elgin writes in Voluntary Simplicity, “We cannot expect there to be peace within the human family if we are at war within ourselves.” Inner harmony and peace within ourselves enable us to share these same qualities with others and the world. It all begins within each one of us.” ~Veronica Ray “Green Spirituality: Reflections on Belonging to a World Beyond Myself
Mystic - Stonington police are investigating a fatal motorcycle crash that killed two area residents early Wednesday morning on Hewitt Road.
Police said a man and a woman were traveling north on Hewitt Road when they lost control on a curve that follows a long straightaway. The accident happened shortly after 1 a.m.
The motorcycle came to rest on a front lawn of a home. Police said both occupants were dead at the scene.
“I peacefully resist all the discouraging voices I hear.”
“Our lives and our minds are often full of voices telling us what we can’t do and who we can’t be. There never seems to be a shortage of reasons why we shouldn’t try new things, take risks, or do our best. There are always plenty of negative blocks to our realizing our highest dreams and goals.
It’s very easy to fall in line with discouraging voices. We do it because we’re afraid of failure, success, or the unknown. We do it to try to gain other people’s approval or to belong to the crowd. And all the while we know deep inside that we’re capable of so much more.
When we stop allowing the negative voices to stop us, we begin to discover just how wonderful we can be, how wonderful life can be. When we peacefully resist all the discouragement, we find the courage within ourselves to be what we can be and do what we can do. And that’s why we’re here.”
