The Staple Singers had some wise advice in their songs that’s still very relevant today. Back in 1973, their song “Be What You Are” cautions against living beyond your means – just be what you are.

I’m not trying to tell you how to do it ·
I’m only saying put some thought into it ·
Be what you are, my friend ·
And live the life

The Staple Singers

As long as I’m singin’
Then the world’s all right
And everything’s swingin!
Long as I’m singin’ my song.

Lyrics by Bobby Darin

May you see a way to sing your song every day.

In this playful workshop, we learn to look for and recognize the signs that pop into our lives every day. Synchronicity is that thing that happens when you’re thinking of someone and the song that you both love comes on the radio. It’s the butterfly fluttering by when you think of a loved one you miss. It’s the feeling you’re being watched, and you look up to see a deer looking right at you.

Are these just coincidences? Or do they have some special meaning? Why do certain things appear in your life at certain times? All of these things can represent different parts of yourself, give you verification or early warnings, encourage you to look deeper, or even give you permission to feel they way you feel:

• Colors relate to Chakras and represent different parts of yourself
• Number combinations can verify or give you information
• Animals may represent aspects of yourself that need more attention
• Music is often a joyous verification of your thoughts, ideas and memories

We’ll discuss how and when these things show up for you, and how you can interpret them. Once you start noticing synchronicity in your life, you’ll be amazed at how much more often it happens!

So much of the synchronicity I see in my life comes to me through songs. Today’s surprise was a new song, at least one I hadn’t heard before.

“I’m lookin’ for life, love and laughter, and everything in between…”

That line hooked me. The whole song made me smile – a beautiful start to my day. Besides the great lyrics, the music is laid back and fun.

When I got to my computer, I had to look it up. The song is “Life, Love and Laughter” by Donavon Frankenreiter. I’d never heard of the artist, either, and now I’m learning about him and his music. He’s a former surfer turned musical artist, living his dream.

This song talks about living for today – not looking back or forward too much. Enjoying the abundance of things you have to appreciate that are right in front of you.

Now I’m thinking about what’s “everything in between”…

Any thoughts?
