Someone I love has been so busy pushing his agenda on his life that he hasn’t noticed that the clues and cues are all coming from a different direction - - in his case, literally - - from a different part of the country. He’s being stubborn, though, not going with the flow. If there’s not a fluid, supported response, sometimes it’s because the timing isn’t right, but other times it’s because we’re looking in the wrong direction and just need to turn around.

My summer is a good example of that. I wanted to explore Bellingham, Washington and south central Alaska as places to live. I never considered British Columbia, Canada - which is right between the two - because I am an American, and I assumed it would not be as open to me. (And you know what they say about assumptions!)

SO….though initial indications were great for both Bellingham (WA) and the Anchorage and Kenai Peninsula area of Alaska, what ended up happening, effortlessly, was this trip to Salt Spring Island, while, at the same time, great-looking options in the other areas had been disappearing for about a week or two. I let them go, and then - poof! - something magical I could not, or would not, have imagined!

So make your plans, but be aware of how the wind is shifting them. If at times they seem to be blowing back in your face, see what happens if you merely shift your focus to a different direction. You don’t have to make a different decision, just an observation, which may, in turn, cause you to want to make a different decision. Just look for where the energy is happening. This is following your intuition, and is a very useful, practical skill to learn!
