Signs, Signs…Everywhere Signs
If you, like me, grew up a child of the 60’s and 70’s, you’re familiar with the song evoked by the title of this post. Unlike the signs in the song, however, the “signs” I’ve seen of late are of a more positive nature. Like the author of that song, I also feel a strong need to share the viewing and recognition of my “signs” and their significance for me. Perhaps by sharing my “signs, at least one other person reading my blog might start paying attention to the “signs” in his or her life.
It’s hard to know where to begin; when you start to recall the signs, more seem to take shape that you may not have recognized before. Perhaps the first one was the restlessness I began to feel living in the home of a very dear friend (Irene). At the time, the opportunity of moving in with her was a God send for both of us. Not only did it benefit us both financially, but it also rewarded us with time together to nurture our friendship at a juncture in our lives when we both needed it.
But I began to find myself feeling claustrophobic in my living space, my personal piles of “stuff” stifling and stressful. I also found myself getting short-tempered and upset by insignificant things, which is a problem for me; because I am usually hard pressed to express anger outwardly towards others (which will become a topic of interest in future blog posts). For this reason, I decided it was time to begin searching for my own place to live, knowing that the time was right for both me and Irene.
I sent an email “blast” to my wonderful circle of friends (to which I referred in my last post), asking them to help me find a new home of my own. Needless to say, they came through for me and (thanks to Mary Kay and Sherley) I am writing this blog post from my antique rocker in the living room of my terrific and therapeutic new apartment.
The call to a new living space of my own was the first “sign” of things to come for me…and soon for other important people in my life. Are you paying attention to the “signs” presenting themselves to you? Today…try and be open to what the universe may be telling you that could impact your life…something that could help you “thrive” to….!

Karen, Thank you for sharing. I believe the signs are always there for us we just need to be quite and listen. We are always worried about what we need to do but the answer is really right in front of us is we just take the time to look and listen to our heart.
I agree 100%. Those of us who are fortunate find that people come into our lives for a specific reason or teaching or helping us get to the next step. I was just discussing this exact concept with Rhonda B. in our office. 60% of people do not get it. They miss the peacefulness and the beauty of the Balance.
