I saw that billboard outside of Penn Station
in Newark, NJ.
Black with white knockout type. Just like that.
No logo. No company name.
It was 9/28/13
and the time was 8:00AM.
How do I remember all that?
An hour earlier I was looking at my reflection
in the Hilton Hotel bathroom mirror.
That’s when I surrendered
with my whole heart
to listen to my divine guidance
even if it made me uncomfortable.
So I knew that billboard was my confirmation
from the Universe.
My surrender had been heard and accepted.
And what happened next did change everything.
Exactly 9 months from that date
a new version of my reality was birthed
in epic proportions.
My beautiful sister/soulmate left this plane.
.
I should’ve been pretty pissed.
I surrendered and then dealt this shit?
But I wasn’t pissed at the Universe
or my Divine Guidance.
I was pissed at a few people for
murdering my sister.
But that’s not the story here.
I just needed to get your attention.
So forgive me.

This is about synchronicity.
Those moments when you’re thinking about something
or someone and it's reflected back to you in
a song that's playing when you walk into a restaurant
that you hadn’t planned on going to.
an answer to a random question you ask someone that resonated deeply
with something you’ve been struggling with
a headline on the cover of a magazine you saw at the checkout line
when you weren’t even supposed to be in that store.
a chance meeting with someone that changed the course of your life.
Or a billboard that stopped you in your tracks.
Maybe you’ve called them coincidences.
But when you recognize they are not
and align yourself with that belief,
.
well, what happens next changes everything.
