I counted seven smushed snakes on the road this morning. They seemed at peace. Flat, but at peace. Since snakes are one of my animal spirits I wondered if seeing that many deceased bodies was a bad omen, or if the Universe was trying to tell me to get going before it is too late for me as well.
When I had a session with Jeanne Daniels, an integrative healing therapy coach, she told me to see EVERYTHING as a sign. Now that my eyes are newly focused I see signs, but am not sure how to interpret them. Allow me to share a few recent discoveries…aka hits between the eyes.
My husband and I went to our financial planner who zeroed in on me immediately. I’ll spare the details, but in essence he said I need to start making money. Dreams are fine, but money and planning pay the bills. My translation? ACT NOW.
The astrology blog—ElsaElsa—said the stars are aligned for the next three weeks to favor the risk-takers. In particular this is a time for Aries to dare. Guess what sign I am? Yep. No translation needed on that one.
Last night I watched a webinar offered by Christine Kane. What resonated were her five things we “wait†for:
- Permission
- Perfection
- Certainty
- Rescue
- Discovery (In other words, I’m waiting for Oprah and Meredith Vieira to discover my talents. Well, I AM!)
Ms. Kane concluded by inviting the attendees to keep this mantra… “I will no longer allow the energy of indecision to weigh me down.†If I liked tattoos I’d be tempted to get that one put in a noticeable place. Lord knows my butt has enough room for a proclamation of that length.
Her point was well taken. How much energy do I waste as I over-think each action? How much time do I let pass waiting for the perfect alignment of stars to push me forward, or THE person who will show me the way? I’m relearning…slowly… that I’m that person. I know the way if I just trust myself and remain authentic to my core values. How about you? What signs to you follow?
When I was undergoing chemo, I bought a t-shirt that said “survivor.” The period part of it is very important! I waited for MONTHS to wear it because I didn’t ‘know’ if I was a survivor yet. Then one day I WOKE up to the fact that NO ONE was going to give me permission to BE a survivor. I had to give myself permission . . . and I did!!!
