Not too long ago, I was having tea with my friend Krystal. We were in her gazeboo and at one point our discussion turned to Krystal’s father who passed away not long ago. Her father loved observing and identifying butterflies, and he was also an amateur painter. At one point, my friend was telling me about a beautiful butterfly book her father had made from his own hand painted images of butterflies, and just at that moment a large beautiful butterfly flew down and landed on the jam pot and rested there for several minutes.

     We couldn’t help noticing the synchronicity of the butterfly’s appearance right when we were having a discussion about this exotic insect. It was almost as if her father was sending us a sweet little message through the butterfly. Of course, friend, I was thrilled to experience this magical moment. I have frequent experiences with synchronicity. For example, I might have a dream about someone I haven’t seen in ages, and suddenly I’ll get a call from them, or I’ll read something and a word will stand out in my mind, and I end up seeing it everywhere I go.

     Synchronicities can be very reassuring to us, friend, by validating a feeling we have about something or someone, or confirming the validity of a new idea or plan. Synchronicity is a bit like having a psychic check in that lets us know we are on the right track, or someone we love and miss is never far away.

       Friend, synchronicity has often given me guidance and comfort and I hope that you will experience synchronicities in your life as well to help guide you on your path. If you are on the lookout for it, you may be pleasantly surprised.
