As I put September's issue together I was reading one of the articles about Feng Shui and art on the walls. It mentioned clutter in the home. Well, if one were to come into my office, clutter would be an understatement. I took the article as a sign…especially since I pulled one of Doreen Virtue's angel cards. Any guess as to which one? Signs of course.

It always amazes me that if we pay attention to the little things that present themselves to us, our lives would be less stressful and perhaps more exciting. It would be similar to playing a game to see how many 'red' cars (signs) are on the road.

I remember doing something like that as well as other games on our family road trips. One of my favorites was finding odd shapes in the clouds. It was fun, entertaining and helped keep my brother and myself out of trouble.

But back to signs. When you look around your home or office or even the inside of your vehicle, what do you see? Is everything in order? Is it as you would like it to be? How does it relate to your inner focus?

And, if what they say is true, "that your home, car and office/career are representative of the inner workings of one's mind," then I definitely must re-evaluate the mind or environment - whichever comes first! Seriously, I do believe that our immediate environment plays an important role in our lives. It is the showcase of our beliefs and how we walk our lifes paths. Granted, chaos and clutter may create frustration and stress; however, they also are good signs of what is happening within the framework of our own inner world.

On the overall view our world is rapidly changing, the energies are shifting for everyone. Lives are being effected from all levels and as time speeds up it is vital to pay attention to every sign, small and large that is either validating our existence at where we are, or trying to get our attention that something big is about to happen.

I do know this, by listening to others and to what is happening in their world, as well as what is happening in my own little piece of reality, we will soon be called upon to step more firmly into our destinies.

The old energy, the old way of doing things is falling away. Now the question is, do we have the courage to let go of what is familiar and no longer working for us and to embrace an energetic matrix that is in alignment with what we all came here to do?

It's very simple - and it's only my opinion. I believe we came to experience, express and embrace life to its fullest. To interact with all that we encounter and to elevate our consciousness to that of our higher Source of Being.

Chaos, clutter - they are only a means, a tool in which we can find self-discovery.

Have a great rest of the summer. Take care.
