Synchronicites written 11/23/09

So I started reading this book I bought last week titled “There Are No Accidents ~ Synchronicity and the Stories of Our Lives” by Robert H. Hopcke. As I am reading this book I start to evaluate the times in my life that something profoundly coincidental (well for me nothing is coincidental) has happened. Synchronicity in the book in simple definition is explained as a meaningful coincidence.

The times that stick out for me all happened within the last 2 years. My life has had a dramatic change since 2006. It all started to manifest when I had this foreboding feeling in the pit of my stomach like something dreadful was about to happen. (Mind you I was at a job I didn’t like, my marriage was rocky, and father-in-law had just passed.) But I could not put my finger on WHAT was the reason for this feeling. I already was expecting the passing of my in-law which had happened. I already had in mind that I wanted to leave my husband because he was emotionally and verbally abusive and I was at my wits end ready to walk away but unsure how and worried about the ramifications of this step. So if I was already prepared for some things what was the feeling I was anticipating and why did I have it so STRONGLY?

A sequence of events slowly started unfolding that lead to a big emotional storm that lasted from 2007 until earlier this year when I rose above the situation surrounding me. The storm is still raging but I feel as if I am in the center or the “eye” of the hurricane. The strength of the storm is weakening as I am nearing the time to file for my divorce but let me tell you if it weren’t for the way things happened; I think I would have been a lost soul. Below is a list of my “coincidences” that dramatically changed my life.

1. I was getting my hair done in 2006 and was choosing a book to read while sitting under the dryer. My hand skimmed several of the books and doubled back to a title that caught my attention. “The Me I Knew I Could Be” by Crystal Phillips – This book started my journey into self esteem and self love (which I had none). Ironically the story of the author strongly resonated with they way I grew up and how I was living at the time.

2. After reading the book I was so ready to get out of my job and leave my husband but didn’t want to seem like I was giving up a good job without having something lined up yet or quitting on my marriage albeit as horrible as it was (which to me marriage was sacred and needed work in order for it to last) later was let go from my job in Jan 2008 and eventually found out my husband was cheating on me since 2007 (of which I had suspicions about at the onset). Both headaches were released from me allowing me to be free to BE me and live life happily.

3. After getting let go from my job, within 1 week I got dozens of calls for a job but 1 hired me on the spot after interviewing for 8 minutes OVER THE PHONE!

4. After working at this temporary job I met someone that would affect the rest of my life. We became fast friends while working at our temporary job only to find out we had applied to the same job in January, interviewed and got hired for the same position which they opened up and allowed a second position to come in. So we started the same day in the same department sitting right next to each other. She became my best friend and helped me through my ordeal with my ex-husband.

Now I have had this overwhelming feeling of insurmountable excitement and happiness that is coming my way. I again don’t know what is about to transpire but I have been acting on dreams that have presented themselves over the years since 2007. I have always been an intuitive person but didn’t always listen to my intuition. The times I did led to great success or results that were very beneficial. The times I didn’t had me saying “LISTEN TO THAT VOICE OR FEELING NEXT TIME!” So we will see what great things are in store!
