The Chucks Have It

I recently joined MyBlogLog. What I like about it is people can have pictures of themselves and then when they visit your profile, you can see what they look like (if they have a pic of themelves). It’s more personal when people add their pics to their blogs or to a social networking site like MyBlogLog.

A few days ago I had a visitor view my profile, and he was one who had a pic, which I don’t doubt was of himself. When I first saw the photo, I was taken aback. I don’t know what made me think of my uncle because other than a long gray beard, they really didn’t look alike. And this man who I only saw a photo of had a much fuller beard than my uncle. But even having that realization, a little twinge of surprise and sadness was there.

When I visited his profile and I scrolled down the page and got to the end, I wasn’t even thinking about looking for a name or an age. I was just going down the page as I always do, I guess out of habit. Once again I was taken aback.

I got a little teary-eyed when I saw his name. His name, just like my uncle, is Chuck.

I was always fond of my Uncle Chuck. When I was little, when kids would ask me if I was related to Charles Bronson, I would say “yes”, with a big smile on my face. My last name is Brunson, but they didn’t pay attention to the pronunciation. I got tired of being asked that so I decided to have fun with it.:)

I have an uncle who is a retired pilot. My Uncle Chuck once told me that my other uncle owned an airplane that was in a Charles Bronson movie. He didn’t tell me which movie and I don’t even know if he was being honest with me. But it’s cool to think that it’s possible.

My Uncle Chuck died a few years ago. Before he died, my sister told me that she had had a dream that he had died. I think it was only about a week or two later that it happened.

When I was a foster child, we went for years without seeing each other. I was so glad that he found me. I think he knew that it wouldn’t be long for him. He smoked up until his last day here. He had emphysema. I’m glad he’s not suffering any more.

A man I have never met before reminded me of my uncle. Without MyBlogLog, that may never have happened. I liked what he wrote about himself on his profile. Sounds like a fun guy.

We are all connected.

*I just noticed that Charles Bronson was born on November 3, 1921. My birthday is November 21, 1963 and my favorite number has always been, for as long as I can remember, the number 3. Cool. Come to find out, his last name wasn’t really Bronson. It was Buchinsky. He died of pneumonia and Alzheimer's disease.

Back in Focus

I know. It's been seven months since I've written anything here. This is what happens when you lose focus. Synchronicities? I've had many, but I have been lazy in writing most of them down. Some I've written on my other blog because they seemed to fit with what I wanted to write there.

I was reading the personal history of Carol Adrienne and it woke me up to the fact that I am, or at least I was, at one time, a teacher of synchronicity who had left her class high and dry. For that I apologize.

When I say "my class", I'm referring to anyone who I have helped to understand synchronicity better. I don't want anyone to think I'm on a big ego trip and that I know all there is to know about synchronicity. Hey, I still have a lot to learn, which is, I'm sure, why I was led back to Carol Adrienne's web site not long after she resumed blogging.

I'm a big believer in teaching what we want to learn. I'm not even sure why this is. Maybe it's simply because it helps me to know that I'm not alone in my quest to know whatever it is I want to know. And teaching what you are interested in can be fun. And so is learning what you are interested in.

Sometime ago, I said that I was going to write about a blog that I had found and then I was gone. Again, I apologize. I started to write it and I think it's in draft mode. I'll find out and if I can, I'll finish writing it up today.

I think I should change the title of this blog. I already have other blogs called, "Soulful Writer". I think this should say something more that has to do with synchronicity. Any ideas? Any and all suggestions would be helpful and much appreciated.

I do have some synchronicities to share and also some lessons that I have learned.

So, yes, I do believe I'm back in focus and my intent is to stay in focus as much as possible.

It's good to be back!:)

I'm a Lucky Magnet!

I think I was reading something the other day...maybe yesterday with the word "magnet" in the title. If I remember and if I find it, I'll share it with you. Because of the title of my horoscope for today: "You Magnet You". I do attract and absorb energy from others. Whether it's positive energy or negative energy. If it's strong enough, I will soon feel it. Even if the person lives 1000s of miles away from me. Distance makes no difference.

Here is what my horoscope says:

"Every so often, you get incredibly lucky -- so lucky that if you're within a few seconds and/or shouting distance of a very fortunate encounter, something will 'coincidentally' make it happen. This is your moment. Make it good. Pay attention."

I haven't been reading these horoscopes lately. Not the ones from Astrology.com. I did one of their sample readings and automatically received a username and password for my daily forecast. I read it after I posted "Multiple Synchronicities".

Isn't that always what I say? "Pay attention".

Multiple Synchronicities

I have a list of synchronicities to share. I need to get them all sorted out before I write about theme here. My daughter is part of one of them. That makes it even more special and fun for me. I remember a time when she thought I was crazy. She still doesn’t really understand it, but I don’t completely either. But that’s okay. I’m still learning and I don’t think I will ever understand synchronicity completely. Maybe we’re not supposed to.

There are things that happen that nobody ever understands. Accepting this and having faith that whatever happens is happening for a reason. The circumstance may not always be what we want to happen but it usually turns into something much greater than we ever expected.

Here is my list of synchronicities. I’m not sure when I’m going to get it all written out.

Titanic (the movie)<----If you buy this movie through my link, I will get a little money for it. What a blessing that would be.
Luck (the word)<----Learn how to write the word "luck" in Chinese
Cole (the name)<----A breathtaking view
Chocolate
Life is like a box of chocolates (the phrase and it goes with chocolate)
Forrest Gump (the movie) (connected with the above phrase)
Butterflies (they’re baaaack)
Gold

Goodness. Now that I have that typed out, I see that it’s more than I thought at first. Good. I hope they keep coming.:)

As for the butterflies, I haven’t seen any outside yet. I would say that it’s probably do to the unseasonal low temperatures. But that theory is moot because when the butterfly synchronicities first began it was still Winter. Our Winters are usually very cold.

I have a lot more writing to do, so I better get busy at it.

Synchronicity With Sevens

I'm sorry. I can't go into detail right now. Not because it's too personal. I just don't remember. This is the reason it's so important to write notes. Most of the time I didn't feel the need because the most significant synchronicities stayed with me. Since the last time I blogged, for about three or four days of that time, the number seven kept reaching out to me. I'm still seeing sevens, just not as often as I was.

Do you ever do that? Have things on your mind that you want to remember but just don't feel like writing them down, knowing that you should? I do that more than I should.

Well, how about that. I did a search on the number 7 and visited the Wikipedia page for it. A link there led me to another page on Wikipedia for Seven Jeans. Right before doing this search I had been reading a blog by a woman who had left me a comment on Mae's Muse. Sara has Fybromyalgia, which I had never heard of and my heart goes out to her. I don't know how she deals with the chronic pain. If you want to know more, she has a couple of articles about it on her blog.

At the bottom of Sara's blog is the information of who designed the template she is using. There is also a link to a sponsor. The sponsor is Active Sandals who sells...Seven Jeans. Cool, huh?:)

Don't you just love synchronicity? I sure do.:)

Oh, it's Spring here in the USA, which means butterfly season is upon us. I haven't seen any yet, but I'm sure it won't be much longer. They're more plentiful when the temperatures are in the 80s. Butterflies warm my heart and soul.:)

Why Alex?

That's the question that keeps popping in my head whenever I see any form of the name, Alexander. Male or female, it doesn't matter. It started when I discovered a site called, Pixelotto.com. I have written a couple of posts about it on Mae's Muse. I won't get into it here.

Ever since then I have been seeing or hearing that name, over and over again. Mostly on t.v., but sometimes online as well. I think my daughter mentioned the name a few times as well.

I don't know. Maybe it's nothing at all. That happens on occasion. It could be because I started noticing it more. But that doesn't mean I'm dismissing it. There could very well be something to it.

Time will tell.

Number Thoughts

Yesterday I was thinking of a few of the numbers that have been coming up for me in the past few years. Namely, 22, 33, and 44.

The meaning of number 33 is truth. Eugene explains it very well and many times to people who have emailed him asking him what it means. He also answered a question that someone asked about the number 22. If you scroll down, you'll see the title, "Ask Me". The question and Eugene's reply is right below that title.

When I began reading Eugene's reply, I thought of chocolate and then my mouth began to water. The word, "stimulation" was what did it for me. It's usually when I read about chocolate that I start salivating. The mind is a powerful tool. If everyone knew this and used this knowledge for the greater good of everyone in the Universe, can you imagine how much more love there would be? I can. All it takes is one person at a time.

I did a search on the number 33, to see if I could find anything new. This web site looks familiar, but I'm not sure. But I wanted to share it because of the title and because I was curious about the word, "Pravda", so I found the word on Wikipedia. A couple dates caught my attention: April 22, 1912 and August 22, 1991

Pravda is a Russian newspaper that was first published in Vienna. The first issue was published on October 3, 1908. The last issue on April 22, 1912, which was also the date of the first issue in St. Petersburg.

On March 3, 1918, the newspaper offices were transferred to Moscow.

I don't have the sense that the information I found about the Russian newspaper, Pravda means anything at all to me personally. But then again, it very well could. Like I've said many times before, I don't dismiss any synchronicities. Pravda, by the way, means, "Truth", which I'm sure is the reason for the title of the article on Time.

As I thought of these numbers, a few things occurred to me.

• My son is 22 years old.
  
• I have a sister who I didn't grow up with. My father left me with the sister of a friend of his when I was 12 and my sister was five. I didn't see her again until she was 14. That was 22 years ago.
  
• I have a brother who was two years old the last time I saw him. He's now 33 years old.
• I will be 44 years old this year in November

*My father took my brother and my sister to another state. I became a foster child.

There could be more to the numbers, 22 and 44 than this. I will continue to be conscious of them. And even the number 33 because since it means truth, if I am not living in truth then that number may begin to appear as a reminder for me. It'll be God's way of whispering in my ear reminding me to speak my truth, live my truth...be...my truth.

Hey, take a look at the timestamp.:)

Number Sequences - 22 and 44

I'll also be writing about the numbers 222 and 444. I'm once again seeing 44, but I'm seeing 22 more often. I can barely keep up with all the different times and if I would have been keeping count, I probably would have lost track.

I didn't write notes so I don't know when or where it began. I just know that for at least a week or two I've been seeing the number 22 every single day. On television I see it and hear it. Online I read it and my daughter has made mention of that number more than three times.

And then today I checked my stats for this blog. Someone had found my blog doing a search on "444 synchronicity". I like to check the search results myself to see how high up on the page my blog is and also to see if there are any web sites that might interest me within the search results. Most of the time there is at least one.

And this time is now exception. I found this from that results today. I didn't read all of that article. I mostly skimmed it and found serveral the numbers 222 and 444 mentioned several times.

Although I've been seeing double digits while what that article shows is triple digits, I still consider it all to be synchronous and possibly related in some way. It's all spiritual to me and I don't discount anything that could be significant.

I just now found a web site where someone had posted some information about the synchronicities of number sequences from a book for another person. The greeting kind of startled me. It could have been me writing that because I often call someone "Sweetie" when I feel comfortable enough, even if I don't know the person well. Here is what is said about the number sequences for 222 and for 444.

222 - our newly planted ideas are beginning to grow into reality. Keep watering and nurturing them, and soon they will push through the soil so you can see evidence of your manifestation. In other words, don't quit 5 minutes before the miracle. Your manifestation is soon going to be evident to you, so keep up the good work. Keep holding positive thoughts, keep affirming, and continue visualizing.

444 - The angels are surrounding you now, reassuring you of their love and help. Don't worry because the angels' help is nearby.

Wow. That excites me. I had already read about the number sequence, "444", but not "222". I read that and I suddenly felt a stronger flow of spiritual energy passing through me. I have already been full of physical energy since I got up this morning and this spiritual energy was like an extra dose.

So now maybe when I brave the below zero degrees temps outside, my body won't feel the bite of cold air as much. Since I don't drive and since the grocery store is only a 5 minute walk, I always put on an extra layer or two of clothing. I don't really like the cold weather, but staying positive helps me to be able to tolerate it better and I even find ways to enjoy it. The brisk walk in the friggid air gives me even more energy and I also appreciate coming home to a nice warm house.

I can also look at the beauty of the snow, sparkling like diamonds on the ground.

I'm drinking hot tea to warm myself from the inside which will kill the chill a little as I'm outside and then I'll come home and have another cup. The hot liquid and the electricity (positive energy) warms me from the inside out.

I was not always a believer in the symbolism of numbers. There was a time when it never even crossed my mind. And when it did I dismissed it. But when there were more than a few of what I at one time called "coincidences", I was still a skeptic but I no longer dismissed what I was seeing. I would pay attention more to see if any of it meant anything at all to me. When the what I now call synchronicities showed me that they happened for a reason, I became a believer.

So, if you are reading this and you are unsure of what is going on, please, don't dismiss what is happening. I believe that synchronicities do happen for a reason and for me it's always a part of my spiritual growth. My spiritual awakening. Ten years ago I wasn't writing about spirituality. Ten years ago I wasn't awake. I was clueless. But now I appreciate and I take in every synchronicity that I become aware of. And I take it to God because it's God that is bringing them to me. I am letting him know that I hear him and that I know he is trying to get my attention. If I ignore them, God will make a way to put my attention on him. I may not always like his methods, but they usually work.

Synchronicity Reversed

I'm not sure if that's an appropriate title, but it was the first thing that popped in my head and I couldn't think of anything else.

My first encounters with Promila (what a pretty name) was when I was searching for other blogs about synchronicity. I needed to fin someone who understood what I was writing about and wouldn't dismiss everything that I wrote as mere coincidences. I got that enough at another blog community.

Her synchronicity with butterflies began with me. I think. If I'm remembering that correctly. Promila?

Well, anyway, now it's my turn. Promila has been having synchronicities about the numbers 44 and 444. Within an hour of reading about her experiences, I looked a the clock on my desk and the time said exactly, 4:44. The I saw the number 44 a couple of times after that, but I don't rmember the circumstances. That was in one day and since then I haven't had any more experiences with it.

I don't know what it means, either, if anything. But I never dismiss the synchronicities. I'm always paying attention, no matter how busy I get. When God whispers, I listen.

Busy Bee Butterfly

I'll be writing blog reviews for three companies now, so I will be quite the busy bee butterfly. Well, as long as they bring in the work and I can write it, that's what I'll be doing. I have to. And the good thing is, I love it because I'm writing.

So, I'll be at Mae's Muse.

But I've got to find the time to write about the synchronicity with the number 44.:)

I'll do that when I am taking a break from writing the blog reviews.

I'll Be Here

I wrote about this blog on Mae's Muse, saying that this is where I will be writing about my spiritual journey, but maybe some people didn't see that post.

I'm not feeling good right now, so I'm going to keep this short. I'll be back here soon, I hope. Maybe today.
I
I haven't had much to write about when it comes to synchronicity, and I've also been very busy writing trying to make a living, which has been a big challenge for me.

I'm trying to stay positive, but sometimes it's really hard. Right now I'm wondering if I should choose a different type of work.

If you have linked to my other blog, please update your links. Please change your link to http://soulfulwriter.blogspot.com instead of http://mae-synchronicity.blogspot.com (Mae's Muse). I haven't written there much, but, would you also please add, http://butterfly.dianabrunson.com (Soulful Writer) to your blogroll. Thank you.

I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.

Waking Up

“It is always with excitement that I wake up in the morning wondering what my intuition will toss up to me, like gifts from the sea. I work with it and rely on it. It's my partner.”

-- Dr. Jonas Salk

Up until this morning, I hadn't been waking up to the sound of the alarm clock. I don't really care to be "alarmed" out of a good night's rest. I don't like for someone to come up behind me and scare me, either. I don't think it's healthy, anyway. It can be quite stressful on the heart.

Unfortunately, I've been going to bed too late and waking up after 9:00 a.m. By doing this, I don't feel as energized as I do when I wake up earlier. So, I set my alarm for exactly 9 O'clock this morning and, although I jumped when it went off, I recovered quickly and I have more energy now than I have in quite awhile. And I also don't feel like I've wasted half the morning sleeping.

Sometimes I don't feel it's a waste to get some extra sleep, but for the most part, getting an early start can mean getting more done and it can also mean getting some rest earlier at night as well.

I sometimes suffer from insomnia, so going to bed early isn't always that easy, but when I can, it's a nice feeling.

I woke up feeling similar to what this quote is saying. I found it in an email I read today. Another synchronicity.

A Heavenly Message

I needed this message today. Maybe you do, too. The right (meaningful) messages always seem to come at just the right time.

God said:

Be content with yourself. It is enough that I know who you are. I will work My way through you no matter how entangled you may think you are. I will wend My way through everyone.

No one on Earth, no matter how angelic and evolved, has to take it upon himself to educate you nor show you a path. I am well capable. Leave these things to Me. There is a Greater Power, beloved, and that Greater Power is not dependent upon any beliefs you may have. It is not dependent on you or anyone. It is dependent on Me.

All are equal in My eyes. No one needs to take over My place. Make room for Me. Have trust in Me. Truly, you serve Me, but My service is not dependent on you nor your assistance. Leave a sense of responsibility for others to Me. You are not one who saves souls. That’s my job. No souls are lost in the first place, so none need to be saved.

Everything is free choice, beloveds. I gave free will. If I can give free will, surely you can. Letting go of control is essential. Control makes you tired, beloveds. There is no battle to fight, no battle to win. Let there be no battle. Have trust in Me. Have trust in outcomes. You have to trust. You cannot presently see far enough. You can only see so far. Your vision cannot see all.

Nor is your heart to be dismayed because someone does not avail themselves of your love and wisdom. Never mind, they have Mine. I am never dismayed. I do not weep. I see where all travel. They travel to Me. However they come, it’s good. If they come by donkey or jet plane, it’s all well and good. Haste is not needed. You see emergencies, but I do not.

See Me at work even where there is apparent lack. Some will lag behind you. That is no concern of yours. Have no concern for another. No one has to do anything you want. No one has to do what you see as right nor not do what you see as wrong. You are not meant to be a supervisor on Earth. Because you shine My light doesn’t mean others have to follow your light.

Consider that everyone has his own spotlight of love with Me. You have yours. Everyone else has theirs. Be content that this is so. Do what you are doing, and allow others to do what they are doing. It is time now to let go of others. Free all others to their own path. Do not think theirs is a lesser path because you go a different way. What you see as a detour may be another’s optimum direction. Beloveds, you cannot presume to know what is right or best for another. You may think you do, but you cannot know.

It is better not to intervene in another’s evolution. Let someone else’s evolution strictly be between them and Me. Do not get up on your high horse when it comes to another’s evolution. You may like to ride a swift white steed. Someone else may like to ride on a pony. It is no concern of yours, beloved.

Hands off. Let someone come to you and ask for your assistance before you offer. Oblige those who come to you. Let them come as they will. You wait for an invitation before you go to someone’s house for dinner. Because they invite, doesn’t mean you have to go. So give the same privilege to those you invite.

Embolden others to go their way. Bless them on their journey. Trust that no matter how they come to Me, they will come.
