I am a very neglectful blogger, yes, I know. But when you have three pairs of big brown eyes (two sets human, one set Golden Retriever) staring at you longingly with sand buckets, bike helmets or Frisbees in hand (or mouth, as it were) it is damned hard to squeeze in the time to blog! ha!
So here is a quick one for you...
Have you ever noticed that when you start putting your attention on something, you draw more of it unto you? For example, if you're looking to buy a new car and narrow it down to one or two choices, you tend to notice the fact that there are now instantaneously hundreds of those exact vehicles rolling down the streets of your hood. Or, when you finally splurge and buy those great new shoes...you can spot them on another woman five miles away. Or when you start reading about Swine Flu, you all of a sudden seem to manifest the exact same symptoms...?!
In my life right now, I am focusing on signs. Beckoning them, welcoming them, paying attention to them, TRUSTING them. And they are showing up in droves and with force! Old and new friends are re-entering or just now entering my life with the most surprising and POWERFUL messages for me. Quotes and book passages are being delivered to me at exactly the most powerful moments. Even the weather is sending me signs to help me chart my days.
Today the signs were there in an unbelievable way.... check these out:
Lovely...don't you think this is what real love is all about??
and this one...wow! SO appropriate for the path my new life is on...!
I love it when life sends me CLEAR signs, and even more when the signs ARE signs of LIFE. Hello, Universe?!?! I'm PAYING ATTENTION!!!
Great Post! And, so true. I can feel your strength in your words...thank you.
Have a great weekend.
Smiles ~ Ramona

And when you get those signs from your children it is even more powerful! My wise child (a 24 year old Mom herself) told me "Doesn't it hurt more when you give freely and without reservation for those who don't expect it - but those who expect it never feel they get enough!"

Oooh - what was that song? Signs, signs, everywhere are signs... It's in my head now...ok thank god for itunes. Five Man Electric Band. Yeah, I never would have known that. But I love that song. So full of rebellion. It is funny how things become noticed like that. I've been to My Florist several times and have never even noticed those signs sitting there. Just goes to show you...
