Thanks for sharing your inspiring posts with us last week! 😉 I have always felt like the universe has had a way of tapping me on the shoulder and introducing me to what’s around. There Are Signs Everywhere
Perhaps, it’s my Mexicanish upbringing, but I’m always looking for signs/messages ( whether they be good or bad). I grew up avoiding the evil eye (ojo), brujas, and el cucuy. But I also looked for the good, sometimes it took something to hit me over the head, but I did. When I would share some of my Mexicanisms with my husband I could feel his “Really, Babe”. However he would entertain me. I think he has finally agreed that there are signs.
I’m Not Great With Math BUT I Love Numbers Numbers have served as a sign, my “serendipity”- número tres. (Random Side Note: I have always loved the word serendipity, I think it would be a cute name. Yes or nah?) It’s weird math was never my strong suite but I have always seen the math in numbers looking for a way to connect things. My ATM codes, birth dates, anniversaries, special dates, have always made me want to divide, multiply, and look for a common ground. (I promise I’m not some kooky number chasing star gazer with special candles and a crystal ball who turns to a Magic 8 Ball for answers, ummm that’s what Siri is for.) I have looked in my own life and found that the number three has held great importance in my life. Three is Not a Crowd, Three is My Everything
- I was married on the 3rd
- Totally not on purpose, but each house we have lived in the number 3 was/is in our address.
- We have even lived on the third house on the street
- I have 3 siblings
- My girls’ birth dates are both multiples of 3’s
- My son is the 3rd child (The child I was told I wouldn’t have)
- My birthday is on the 30th 😉 (The month is also a multiple of 3)
- There are 3 hearts in my header to represent the significance of the number 3
I could keep going, but I’ll stop. What are your thoughts, do you believe there are signs? Has the universe spoke to you?

June 2, 2015 at 11:00 amI love this!!! I am always on the look out for signs and messages; little reminders. I did not know the significance to the number 3 in your life but I love all that it represents and all the ways it has found its way into your life. Amazing. I also love Fools Rush in; one of my favorites! XO

June 2, 2015 at 2:32 pmWhether I’m religious or not, I definitely believe there is someone/something speaking to us that is greater than us. I see it mostly in the lessons I learn around me, from observing others to observing my children.

June 12, 2015 at 11:02 amI’m not, and I totally agree with you.

June 2, 2015 at 5:25 pmSerendipity is a fantastic word! It always amazes me that when I start looking for signs, they are there waiting for me 🙂
MrsA0K2001
June 12, 2015 at 11:16 amI love that word. I love what it stands for, I love how it looks when you write it, I love how it’s touched my life.

June 2, 2015 at 7:36 pmWow, the number 3 for you! For me, it’s four. Did you ever see the movie Serendipity?
I’m all about signs, but I swear I hear them through music. I call it The Radio Gods. When you really need a sign or to hear something, and you turn on the radio to the PERFECT song! It happens so much, it can’t possibly be coincidence.
MrsA0K2001
June 12, 2015 at 11:25 amI have not seen the movie, I just Googled it.
I totally believe in the RADIO GODS!! Moby saved me from an ugly relationship before. #TrueStory.

June 2, 2015 at 8:06 pmI do believe in signs and that coincidences are really meant to happen for a reason. I’ve seen it with people I’ve met and situations that I’ve been in. You know like when you run into the same person a bunch of times? It reminds me of this book I read in high school – The Celestine Prophecy. That is so interesting with the number 3 in your life!
MrsA0K2001
June 12, 2015 at 11:34 amI need to remember to add Celestine Prophecy to my list, my over three page list. 🙂

June 3, 2015 at 6:57 amI do love the word serendipity (as well at it’s meaning). It’s really cool to know the meaning behind the 3 little hearts in your header and that 3 is a special number for you! I haven’t really thought about numbers with special meaning in my life. The one thing, though, in regards to numbers that was cool is that Sam and I started dating on 1/23 and got engaged on 12/3 🙂 Other than that I’ve got nothing, unfortunately.
MrsA0K2001
June 12, 2015 at 11:36 amI think that’s something, you may find that those numbers do pop up more in your life; you’d be surprised. Maybe it’s just me seeking, but I see 3’s… they’re everywhere. 🙂
XOXO

June 3, 2015 at 12:50 pmSo that’s what the little hears represent. I think that’s awesome. I want to get a tattoo of hearts to represent the hubs and kids but not sure where to put it. 🙂
I was raised a Catholic girl and my grandmother’s family strongly believed in signs and dreams. So yes ma’am I do believe in signs. I always see the numbers 777. Once this car jumped in front of me and right when I started to get angry I saw the license plate had 777…I went from angry to happy in seconds :).
Thank you for sharing this quote! I pinned and sharing! Hope you’re having a great week!

June 12, 2015 at 11:40 amOhhhh!! If you get that tattoo I wanna see 🙂 My husband and I have matching suns; his is on his back and mine is on the back of my neck.
That’s interesting 777! I love that it!
Thanks for sharing!!!

June 3, 2015 at 7:09 pmI definitely believe that the universe sends us signs. And my mom always believed that signs came in sets of three!.

June 12, 2015 at 12:15 pm🙂 I have heard about sets of three.

June 3, 2015 at 9:00 pm[…] my mind since reading this quote. I even wrote about it in a comment on my friend Mrs. AOK’s post. Have you ever heard of the book The Celestine Prophecy by James Redfield? I ask because this, of […]

June 4, 2015 at 10:16 amI don’t have a particular number, but I do geeky things like make a wish when the clock says 4:44 or something like that. Or 12:34. Or 1:43 haha. My Mexican mother-in-law has some strange but cool traditions like tying a red rope around trees and plants so that they’re protected from whatever bad omens are out there 🙂
MrsA0K2001
June 12, 2015 at 12:33 pmOr 11:11 🙂 I started doing that a couple years ago. I haven’t heard about the red rope on trees, but I know there are some interesting Mexican traditions, Spanish too. My maternal grandmother is Spanish and she had her “traditions”. 🙂

June 8, 2015 at 5:44 pmI kinda like the name Serendipity. It’s happy.
I believe in signs, but I also have an inner skeptic. I like the idea that life presents us with signs to help us know we’re on the right path and to guide us. It at least makes life seem more magical to view it that way.
MrsA0K2001
June 12, 2015 at 1:16 pmRight? I imagine if one named their child Serendipity it would be hard to get too upset with them. There would always be a reminder that their child is *their* serendipity.
I house that same inner skeptic. 😉 Perhaps, my skepticism is the reason I hold on to these signs or my need for them.
XOXO
