My Personal Journey to Abundance

Chapter 2:  Starting My Journey...

To me, I have always been a rather normal person living a rather normal life.  While I use the word "normal", I don't mean "sane".  I'm certainly sane, so perhaps "typical" would be a better term than "normal".  I am not religious, although I have always believed in God; a higher power; an energy that drives every being, every second of every day.  I have also always believed in another "side", another plane, another realm of existence or consciousness.  I always knew quite strongly that there was something greater than just "us".  We would be foolish and selfish to think otherwise.  I have known several people who have had experiences or visits from people who had passed, and I had known several psychics or mediums that made way too much sense to just shun the idea of another dimension or plane from which their information came.  Actually, I was fascinated by this for most of my life, but I pretty much wrote is off as a "gift" that a psychic or spiritual medium was blessed with. Yet what I knew deep down was that something, somewhere, somehow existed to pass this information into our conscious world.  However, I was not spiritual.  As a matter of fact, I probably could not have even told you what "spiritual" was. 

Many years ago, I began watching John Edward, who to me, is the most gifted medium in the world.  His detailed visions are accurate beyond belief.  To watch him do his thing and be skeptical about it would simply be unfathomable.   This intrigued me, because I had often experienced visions, feelings and strong intuition in my lifetime as well.  I had dreams that were vivid and would often become reality the very next day.  It was scary, but at the same time, my left-brain skepticism was prevalent so I chalked it all up to coincidence.  Years later, I would come to learn that this was well beyond coincidence, and my openness to spirit and spirituality is enlightening me to a whole world of intuition and connection with spirit and the other side. 

Several years ago, as my interest in mediums and psychic powers grew, I picked up one of Sylvia Brown's books.  It was then that I first heard the term "spirit guide" and this fascinated me.  Do we really all have these guides?  Are there really spirits guiding us, communicating with us and watching over us?  Again, I was skeptical, what else is new?.  I did what Sylvia recommended and chose a name for my spirit guide.  As this is very personal to me, I will not reveal the name, but I will say that the name is a male name.  It is NOT a common name, although you would undoubtedly have heard the name in your lifetime.  It was a name that just came to me without really thinking.  So it stuck with me and I made it my spirit guide's name.  About one week later, I was driving and began thinking about this "guide" and whether or not he was real.  Could he see me?  Could he hear me?  Sylvia Brown and other mediums tell us to talk to our guides and ask them for what we need and want.  So what did I have to lose?  As I drove, I said out loud, "[name], can you give me a sign that you are here with me and you are real?".  At this precise moment in time, as I continued to drive, a dark blue Honda (I think it was an Accord) was driving toward me on the opposite side of the road.  I immediately noticed the license plate on the vehicle.  It was a personalized plate and what did it say?  It was the name I had given my spirit guide and nothing else.  Just the name!  Five letters that stood out to me like a shark in a pool of goldfish.  It was profound, it was enlightening, it was a bit spooky but nevertheless amazing.  How could this be?  I just asked and there it was right in front of my face.  Can you believe I was still skeptical?  "It's got to be a coincidence", I thought.  I emphasize this as frequently as possible because there could be nobody who is more skeptical than I was.  I say this to let the nonbelievers know that I did not believe any of this as you may not right now.  So while I thought about it occasionally over the years, I never revisited its meaning, its possibilities and what I was being shown.  But a seed had been planted, and at this point in time, I can look back and know that this was presented to me for a reason.  Years later, as I explore my spirituality and existence of spirit guides, manifestation and Law of Attraction, I often think back to that moment when I saw the license plate and I know that this was the first step in opening me up when the time was right.  Well, that time is now.  As I continue discussing my journey and experiences, you will see that this was merely one pea in a giant pod of spiritual awakenings and revelations that I've experienced and continue to experience.  I reiterate that this story is the absolute truth.  I have conjured nothing and it is complete non-fiction.  The story was, and will remain profound in regard to all I am learning today.

My Journey is updated bi-weekly, and will be continued shortly.  Please come back!
