Noticing the magic
Because it is everywhere 🔮
How are you, my friend? The recent run of sunny days here in New York has my spirits brighter than they've been in a while. I can't wait until it is fully summer and time for shorts and sandals - it is so much easier to be out in the world when the temperature invites it! In the meantime, have you noticed that hope in the air?
To be honest, sometimes I'm really excellent at noticing things, and other times they can bang me over the head and still I don't see it. Take the purple globes. After listening to Laura Lynne Jackson's book Signs: The Secret Language of the Universe, I decided to ask my Grandma (who died when I was 7, so I didn't have all that much time with her) for a purple globe as a sign. My dad's mother was a teacher and I figured a map or globe in her classroom would be a fun sign to ask for, and threw in the purple signifier to make it specific. Then I waited.
A few months later I was talking to my bestie Jenn and telling her about the ask for the sign, and that I'd not yet seen a purple globe anywhere. Her response? “What about that emoji that I always send you? The purple globe. You're the only person I send it to and I have no idea why.” I lost it. The sign had been there all along and I hadn't noticed. I was preoccupied with what I THOUGHT it would look like instead of being open to how the sign presented itself.
Once I recognized that the sign looked a little different, I began to see it everywhere. Jenn even had a glass purple globe that had been gifted to her years ago by a former coach. Its new home? On my altar where I notice it every day.
