“And it opened up my eyes, I saw the sign. Life is demanding without understanding.”
Pardon me, while I belt a few tunes from a favorite 80’s song. It’s been a rough, downhill slide back into reality after a long and much need vacay.
And I’ve been collecting a few along the way. I think they’ll not just lift me up, but inspire you too, no matter what journey you’re on. read more »
I don’t know if this is more about signs or that I have a thoughtful husband. Maybe it’s a little bit of both. Anyhow, today while I was humdrumming at work, my hubby sent me an email with a photo taken from his iPhone. I have to admit that it took me several looks to get it, but I finally realized just what it was. While on his lunch break, he randomly saw a sign that read “Not Too Shabby,” the same title as my sister blog and decided to send it to me. It lifted my spirits, was great confirmation for what I was doing and oh so sweet. What do you guys think? God wink or guy wink?
I first began tracking my “signs” when I read a book called When GOD Winks on Love: Let the Power of Coincidence Lead You to Love by SQuire Rushnell. It was a tiny little book with a BIG message! It’s all about observing signs from God which Rushness calls a “wink” that tells you when you’re heading in the right direction. I actually began taking notice of these signs as far back as 2004 and notated everything from having a water bottle almost hit me on the head when I was extremely thirsty to finding a Masters program in a topic I was interested in while perusing a newspaper. Five years later, I’ll admit that I haven’t really been dedicated to my search for signs. That’s why when I had a “Godwink” moment today, I couldn’t wait to share it here.
Recently, I’ve been feeling the effects of modern day busyness. I often feel like my body can’t quite catch up with my mind. And the end result? I get sick and need to take time off to recuperate. And I know I’m not the only one. Lot of women feel the pressures to “have it all”: great relationship, successful career, perfect family life. And as Cher would say in my favorite 90’s movie Clueless, “As if!”
Recently, I wondered how I was going to continue to work full-time, exercise, write new articles and keep up with two of my blogs. Then, I got it! Literally. I got the answer to my prayers in a package that came from Amazon.com that I wasn’t expecting. And the title? The Life Organizer: A Woman’s Guide to a Mindful Year. The book is all about how to obtain your dreams and written for the busy woman. I know I must have ordered it, but I honestly don’t remember doing so. All I know is that I’m grateful to have received the right book at the right time in a Godwink and am SO looking forward to receiving more!
