A joyful hello
The Perth Writers Festival takes place each year in February. It is a stimulating event looked forward to by lovers of literature, books and writing by many of us who reside in this area.
This year was no exception and I went along on the first day with no particular plans of what lectures to go to apart from one at the first time slot given by the admirable and inspiring author and educator Barbara Arrowsmith-Young sharing her journey from a childhood of learning difficulties and discovering a way to overcome them through what is now known as neuroplasticity. Her book is “The Woman who Changed her Brain”.
Divine Synchronicity
After this wonderful lecture I decided to relax, go with the flow, get a coffee and perhaps go to the bookshop, before attending another talk in two hours time.
The “universe” had other plans for me – as, with hot coffee in hand I “bumped” in to a good friend clutching two tickets (one of them spare) to a lecture just about to start on “Life of Curiosity” with the international author Alberto Manguel, who had recently published a book “Curiosity”. I joined her at the talk and then at a meet and greet with Alberto afterwards.
I felt as though I was being swept along in a magical tide of wondrous energy. The day was a fabulous experience.
The Power of Synchronicity
I am sure each of you has had many such experiences – so called coincidental/synchronistic events. By letting go of complete control, allowing, being alert and aware, divine energies can come in and assist us to have grand alignments with our purpose of being.
The next day I checked my emails and my (leadership executive coach) son Digby’s latest blog had arrived – the title of his blog was “Curiosity”!
Be curious, be alert to the synchronistic events in your life and enjoy each day!
