I have come across this word many times of late in all my readings and soul work.  I experienced it first hand today.  Last night I was laying in bed unable to sleep, so I started surfing the internet.  I have always wanted to collect some sea glass and possibly attempt to make some jewellery out of it.  I did an online search for Sea Glass and found a tutorial for how to do this.  Then today, I decided to go to the beach to see if I could find some.  I went to Ocean Grove and found a shop called Salt Air on The Terrace.  What should they have in their window display?  Yep, a beautiful rounded (like a ball) glass vase with a Sea Mist scented candle in it sitting on Sea Glass.  I asked about it, but it was for display purposes only.  However, the shop keeper ended up selling it to me for a few more dollars!!!  I also saw some sand dollars in a display and she threw them in as well.  They make a nice display on one of my side tables.  Perfect Synchronicity!!!

I then decided to have a late lunch…3pm.  I crossed the road to an indoor/outdoor cafe that was busy.  I managed to get the last outdoor table.  Ordered my lunch and then discovered the name of the place was The Driftwood Cafe.  Another of those synchronous moments.  Whilst I was sitting there, I came up with an idea or two that I just might play around with in the future.  Not ready to disclose what this is at the moment….stay tuned!!!

Remember to think only positive things (I am still learning this myself, not easy when your heart has been smashed into a million pieces)

When you are in the midst of a significant transition into a life full of purpose, it may sometimes feel as if nothing is making sense.  It may be difficult to see if all of your inner work and outer action is having any real consequence at all.  This is the puzzle zone.  The key to succeeding in making your dreams real, despite times of murky confusion, is trust.  You will continue to move forward in the direction of your dream.  Though it may feel as if you are only puzzling your way through, you are still moving forward.

Think of thee symbol of a giant jigsaw puzzle, as if you are standing in the middle of a field with hundreds of puzzle pieces spread all around you.  You are only able to see those closest to you and maybe able to distinguish a few of the pieces nearby that fit together.  There are many more pieces you cannot see.  Even though this is the case, we must have faith that we are journeying in the right direction and the overall puzzle will come together in time.  The puzzle is slowly being assembled in the way it is meant to.

There is a quote I found that I love.  “There are no extra pieces in the universe.  Everyone is here because he or she has a place to fill, and every piece must fit itself into the big jigsaw puzzle.” – Deepak Chopra.

Have a wonderful day full of blessings,

The past year has had many ups and downs for me, just like everyone else.  I am grateful for so many things.  Firstly, I had my surgery on 2nd December and now have my life back.  I found I could open my heart and love again, my only regret being how things were left between us.  I feel it was a major misunderstanding.  How I dislike text messages as a means of communication.  I miss my friend very much.  I just hope someday in some way, we can rekindle our friendship.

Christmas was quiet.  My family came on Friday and we had a few hours together to share a meal and have a good catch up on each others lives.  It was especially good to see my nephew whom we don’t get to see very often.  I would like to change that this coming year.  I am going to devote more of my time to my friends/family, nurturing and building the relationships in my life.  People are everything.

I have been on a journey to find my heart and soul too.  I feel I have made progress in this journey.  I have started a boot camp to improve my relationships and how I interact with the world around me, it can only be of benefit.  I have learned so much about myself already and am learning new skills to deal with situations as they arise.  It would be a good life skills course that would be of enormous benefit if it were taught in schools.

Today is New Years Day and I have spent the day in my pj’s until this evening.  I really needed this “time out”.  It was cool and raining, so perfect for me.  I have spent time doing my soul work, emailing friends and chatting via face book.  As I said, building the relationships in my life.  To those I have neglected, I am really sorry.

So New Year is here, time to set in forth the motions to bring about positive change in myself and the world around me.  I intend to spend some time “giving back” to my community this year.  I am currently looking at what options are out there for me to volunteer some time and make a difference in someone’s life.  Time to plan my year, list my intentions and set forth to achieve them.

I hope I can inspire others to “look within” and make the positive changes in their lives so  life is more enjoyable.  It’s an ongoing journey back to me…or I should rephrase that, to the NEW me.  Hope you will come along for the ride and inspire me in return.  So I would like to wish you all much love and happiness in your lives for the year ahead.
