Do you believe in miracles? Are there instances where you meet the right people at the right time in the right place that presents an opportunity to shift into a new way of being? Have you ever experienced a book falling off the bookstore shelf in front of you, and it’s exactly the book you were looking for?

A few months ago, before I hopped into my car to go to hike on one of my favorite trailheads. I got a hit to look down on the ground, and in front of the car door, I saw this:

“J”, of course, is the initial of my first name. Now, you may think that this is just a coincidence, or that somebody, who knows that I have a Honda Element and knows where I live, played this practical joke by placing these twigs into a “J”. Those chances are pretty slim. I call this synchronicity, and I always pay attention when it shows up.

Later, on the trail, I came across something unusual and seemingly out of place:

Someone left this artwork on the trail, for all to enjoy. The next time I passed by this spot, the painting had vanished.

When I explored what logo I was going to use for Inner World Journeys, it became obvious to me that the image from this painting was it! A perfect symbol of the heart-based work of SMGI® and a miracle gift to me!

The more of this work I do as an SMGI® Guide, both as a guide and a journeyer, the more I pay attention to the little messages that come my way. They may not make any sense at the time, and they are perhaps a time capsule to be opened later. Regardless, clues are available, if you choose to follow them to what they lead to. What synchronicities have you noticed and acknowledged?
