Spiritual Endeavor

As always when I am looking or am open to signs from the Universe many tiny threads of synchronicity show up. They usually pop up to either teach me something, inspire me to take action, or give me guidance that I am following the right path. This week I feel the signs and here are a few things that a getting me inspired.

I am reading The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell, I know a little behind the times or just right when I needed to read it. Another wonderful inspiration who injected caliente flavor back into my life, my favorite nerdy cutie, Tim Ferriss. He whom inspires me to travel, and love me and life again, Here is this week’s post of Why Bigger Goals = Less Competition via his blog. Last but not least from my DVD collection the movie My Date With Drew.

These themes within each of these inspiration are connected or highlighted by various sign posts. Sometimes these signs need translation. As an intuitive and empath I can see threads in my own life when I am not blocking life. For others it tends to be easier as I am not “emotionally invested” in a particular outcome. I know that everyone has seen or felt these signs and we either get excited by them or scared and brush them off. My hope is to inspire others to open up to life to listen to these markers. In the past I had really clear markers on my own intuition and mistook them for things that they weren’t. Trouble with translating the intangible sometimes. Through experience I learned that I needed not to push what I wanted on to the sign posts and let life move me to my next destination.

These connections help me dream big impossible dreams like the Man from La Mancha. Tim says one should go for the bigger impossible dreams due to less competition. Drew Barrymore speaks of taking risks and loves that she may be a marker of fate that inspires Brian to go after his dreams. One of which was to have a date with Drew. The Tipping Point helps show the inter connectivity of our emotions and energy to change the flow of things like Hush Puppies popularity, help Paul Revere spread news of British invasion or  inspire sending help after a tsunami.

Sometimes I get an idea or person stuck in my head like Tim Ferriss. My intuition is turned on repeat on a topic until I ask so what is the message. As interesting as Tim seems, there isn’t a logical reason for me to continue to be pulled by his aura especially since I have never met him. Other times when I get a stomach ache or can’t sleep I know something is up and wait for news. Before I moved out of my apartment in Montclair, NJ I wasn’t sleeping well and had dreams of a fire. A few days later my ceiling caved in on my boo-boo kitty. Luckily he was ok. He is sleeping right me side me now like a good boy. After I moved out a fire happened in the building directly next to my old apartment. Signs are good as long as you know what to do with them. I was lucky that the ceiling inspired a move as me and Shadow would not be engulfed in flames.

My best friend Meghan told me recently that one of the things she likes about me is my ability to dream. She has know me since the 10th grade and has seen many of dreams come out of my head. I bet she is laughing right now. I think Tim on repeat has a lot to do with reminding me to take life by the cojones. It could mean I am on the right path as long as I continue to listen and see signs of feeling good about where I am headed.

I have many dreams and aspirations here are my main priorities this year.

• To find a great sustaining love with an intelligent, funny, caring and cute guy that will eventually lead to marriage, kids, the whole shebang.
• To finding work that helps others, incorporates flexibility, possible travel, communicating with many different cultures, and reigniting my Spanish and French. I have an phone interview tomorrow for a job as described. Eek so excited!
• I intend to learn more on how I personally contribute my favorite charities. One especially dear to my heart is the medical fund at Start II, a rescue animal group that saves abused and abandoned animals.
• I also intend to publish my poetry, write more poetry, blog posts, freelance writing assignments and start outlines for two or three book ideas.

Intuitive signs and inspiration even came when I named this blog way back in March 2007. My brother and I were sitting in my office looking for open domain names. I knew I wanted the direction of the blog to be spiritual but not necessarily religious and my brother noted I had this quote by Henry David Thoreau on my wall.

If people advance confidently in the direction of their dreams,
and endeavor to live the life which they have imagined,
they will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.

God love HDT, that man really knew how to live! I love how these connected threads show me how to live an inspired life and to follow my dreams. God speed to live the way you always dreamed.

Love and Hugs,
