What Signs are YOU Noticing?

10 Nov

I was in a meeting today and someone said, "Make yourself known to the world" and it stuck with me. Out of everything that was said, that one phrase stood out to me. I've been working toward getting my name out there with my writing and that phrase just resonated with me. I've made it a point to listen up when something hits me like that. Whether it's a phrase, a road sign, a curious happening, or something that someone else may not even notice. My daughter told me a few weeks ago that I notice things that others don't. I'm not saying everything is a profound sign from above. Some are just curious or funny, such as the one my daughter was talking about. We were standing in line at a haunted house and a local radio station was broadcasting from there. Their van had "105.7 The Point Everything Alternative" painted on the side but when they opened the door, it said, "The Pot Everything Native" on it and it just cracked me up. (Yes, I amuse easily...) My point? I wonder how many people even noticed the humor in that? Did anyone else notice it? Sometimes we get so wrapped up in our everyday lives that we fail to notice the things around us. I know in my case, I get a lot of inner guidance through external signs. I've also found a lot of amusement I'd not otherwise enjoyed. I am open to learning and guidance through things around me and lo and behold, I receive what I'm looking for a lot of the time. It's the being open that's the trick. When I get all stressed and close off my positive energy, it's like I'm pinching a hose and losing the flow. When I relax, chill out and loosen up (my laptop keyboard always reminds me of that - the loose "n" key still sticks up as a reminder - "loosen up") I seem to receive what I need. It's amazing what that connection with God, Source, Higher Power, etc... can do for your life once you accept it and receive it. I'll write more about that at another time. I've given up worrying about what I write on here. Either you like what I have to say or you don't. You'll not always agree with me. If you do, I'll worry about you since no one should always agree with anyone else. I also am giving up trying to write each post as an article. I'm just gonna write from now on. Just be real. Just be me. And just BE. That's the important part. So, the next time you are running around, busy as can be, step back, breath deeply and open yourself up to the signs all around you and see what you may notice that you were asking for all along...
