Signs, Signs, Everywhere are Signs!

Have you noticed that the time between thinking something and seeing it manifested is far less than it used to be? Are you seeing that when your emotions, feelings, and thoughts are aligned that your desires (and fears) come into play much more quickly? Do you ever feel like you've known someone even though you just met them? You may think about an old friend you haven't seen in years and within days (hours or minutes) she shows up or calls you. This is synchronicity, not coincidence.

Synchronicity is the experience of two or more events that seem unrelated or unlikely to occur by chance; nevertheless, they occur together in a meaningful manner.

Things we never noticed or paid attention to before are being brought to our awareness. You may see symbols such as numbers on a digital clock or car tags, animals that reappear in your path, synchronicities (meaningful coincidences or event occurring in perfect timing), or other signs.

The week of 11/11/11, I was parked in front of a fruit stand at a convenience store while my husband went in to make a purchase. When I looked up I noticed that the number 11 was printed on several of the boxes. I counted more than five number elevens. Five years ago, I would have walked by without even seeing this.

Sheryl Glick's book is filled with stories like these that show how we are without a doubt connected through numbers, birth dates, names, and synchronicities. After reading Life is No Coincidence, anyone will become more aware of the signs from Spirit and be encouraged to look more closely at things that seem random.

A very interesting and easy read that will inspire you to pay attention!

The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley

This is the story of the women in Camelot and King Arthur's court, told from their perspective with Morgaine, a priestess and sister of Arthur, as the main voice. You have heard the legend of Arthur before but not in this way or with this emotional appeal. A child from Morgaine's mating with Arthur, under the guise of the King Stag in a sacred ceremony, haunts them throughout their lives.

But that is a small backdrop to the richness of the story set at the time of the ending of the reign of the goddess and the druidic beliefs in Britain as Christianity entered to replace the old religions. Not a new novel, published in 1982, this is a great read if you have never read it before, love novels, enjoy historical intrigue or simply want to enjoy the experience again. I have finished the 876 pages at least nine times in the past 20 years, and with each reading I find myself lost and immersed in the lives and actions of Morgaine, Gwinevere, Morgaine's mother and aunt who struggle to fulfill their roles of queens and servants to the goddess. Their lives and tasks were not easy.

Women are the focus, women with their strengths and flaws; this is not a rosy feminist picture but an assessment of what makes us human, the good and the bad. Without spoiling the ending or providing more of the excitement encompassing this story, I simply want to share a quote from the novel, words that speak particularly to those of us much too critical of ourselves and our actions:

I did not fail. I did what she [the Goddess] had given me to do.
It was not she but I in my pride who thought I should have done more.
