Sometimes Things Just Need To Swirl Around Us

As a work from home business owner, I find that sometimes I get so engrossed in my to-do lists and absorbing all I can tech wise and marketing wise that I forget that the point of this site is about the journey as a woman.
Today was one of those days where I seemed in a fog, which mirrored the scene outside my window. Today it is grey, windy and raining. I didn’t sleep well last night, so I still felt sleepy.
I decided to lay down and pick up a book I started a few weeks ago.
The book is The Three “Only” Things: Tapping the Power of Dreams, Coincidence, and Imagination
I use to study my dreams intensely and then stopped for a while. I also believe strongly in paying attention to the signs and coincidences around us. But, I got too busy with work and my to-do lists that I stopped.
It hit me today that I needed to start paying attention again. And that today…I needed to just sit still and let things swirl around me. In other words, put down the lists, log off the computer and just absorb and “be”.
Ironically, I am working on a custom design that had the word believe in it as well as some hearts…the design ended up where one little heart encircled the “be” in the word believe. Funny, I didn’t catch that until just now as I was writing this. A sign.
A line from the book says…”Everything that enters our field of perception means something, large or small. Everything speaks to us, if we will take off our headphones and hear a different soundtrack. Everything corresponds.”
Do you believe that?
Do you watch the signs and coincidences around you?
I have been hankering to take a day and just get out with my camera. An exercise in the book talks about going to a market of some sort with a question you need answered.
First, decide at what point while at the market you will hear your answer…such as the first thing you hear when you walk in…or leave…or maybe while you are at a particular spot.
Go in stating (to yourself) that you are seeking an answer and ask your question before you enter. Then pay attention when you are in your designated spot. What do you see? What word(s) are being spoken? Sometimes the answer is like a dream symbol, we need to find the resemblance or meaning, but don’t shrug off what you get just because it might not make perfect sense at that moment.
I plan on getting out tomorrow to do exactly this and to serendipitously capture some images with my camera. Time to start paying attention again!
But, for now…I am going to go back to my book and just let things swirl around me today.
