Tapping into the power of synchronicity
I read two posts this week about synchronicity. One by Irene who firmly believes synchronicity is the meaningful coincidence that her spirit guides are placing in her life, another by Hunter who is not very sure and yet attracted a Lamborghini Gallardo. (Hunter, if color is a critical factor about your car choice, you need to say “I want a hunter green Lamborghini Gallardo.” not just “I want a Lamborghini Gallardo.” And don’t be too surprised how you would get it.) (Photo by Mr. Greenjeans)
I guess this is a synchronicity by itself. I don’t think there is a meaningless coincidence or mere accidents. Everything is organized - it’s just we don’t see the meaning most of the time. It takes high level of awareness to understand the meaning of synchronicity.
Synchronicities are gifts from the spirits. I met Neale Donald Walsch by synchonicity this year. That meeting let me start writing about spirituality on this Yes to Me blog. Also, I received two bouquets of flowers. I was just taking a walk that evening, and bam, I got flowers, and more importantly, a very nice friend.
Now it turns out (surprise, surprise) that this lady is on a sister city committee of our local city. I live in a small suburban city south of Portland, and it has a sister city program with a city in Japan called Kitakata. So she invited me to join when the Kitakata delegation visit our city this year.
What would be the chance to strike up a conversation with a friendly and committed pro-Japanese American just by taking a walk? And eventually being invited to an official lunch held at the Japanese consulate’s home? Well, that’s what’s happening tomorrow. It will be a big long day for me, so I’m posting this Gratitude Friday a bit early.
Are you open to the gifts of synchronicities? Or are you afraid of receiving such gifts? Do things that you don’t completely understand make you uncomfortable? If so, why do you need to be so in control?
Yes to Me has new tagline and design
I know I’ve been talking about the tagline of this blog for the last two months. I started Yes to Me to share tips about entrepreneurship as I learn and become more well-versed in my own business myself. I then realized that personal and spiritual development is the true foundation of successful entrepreneurship, and started writing about it (like this one about life purpose and illusion of self).
The challenge has been: How can I bridge the seemingly unrelated two concepts together, the material world success (including success as entrepreneur) and spiritual development? Within myself, it is seamless - but how can I help others see it? There are still many people who think money is dirty and spiritual people must live in clean poverty!
And then I noticed. Well, duh, that is the objective of this blog. So I changed the tagline to:
Yes to Me — Spiritual Healing and Growth for Greater Success
Do you like it? I also updated my About page, so please check it out 
Yes to Me is also getting a new outfit. My web designer and I finally agreed on the new header, so she will be installing the new theme in a few days. I’m very excited about this - it is beautiful! Please pardon the dust while we work on the final cleaning up.
My Law of Attraction Dream Money Project, Week 15, $1,638,400
I’m taking a time out today. Honestly, I’ve been spending so much time in this design update work that I completely forgot that my dream money was waiting for me. I promise I will follow up.
Does anyone know a good way to use this much of money?

Akemi, I love the new tag line! I like that it speaks to the seamless integration of the mateiral and spiritual dimensions of our lives.

Hi Akemi,
“Synchronicities are gifts from the spirits.” They truly are. It’s wonderful to read about yours as well as Hunter’s. Gee, I’m envious, you’re getting flowers, Hunter got a nudge from a shiny white Lamborghini and Slade got a $100 bill. Hey, what’s with the dog poo in my chapter?! (asking my guides, not you, hehe)
Love the new tagline by the way, and I’m excited to hear about the new design that’s coming up for your site!
Irene | Light Beckonss last blog post..Synchronicities
Christopher,
Yes! Thank you for your encouraging words — as always.
Irene,
Oh, thank you for reminding me. I read about Slade’s $100 bill, too. Then it’s 3 stories of synchronicities in a week.
It must have been a lot of work for your spirit guides to place the dog shit on your way (especially in clean Singapore) to save your life ^_^
BTW I’m getting free tour and lunch tomorrow, too.
You gave links to some good posts to read here. Irene attracted dog poo? I guess I have to read her post to understand that.
I was thinking about the color but didn’t say it out loud. I’ll try to be more specific, but I would be thrilled to receive any color. My comment about the wrong color was more a curiosity because I had never visualized a white one.
Neale Donald Walsch? He was in The Secret, wasn’t he?
I think your new tagline is very clear, and I’m looking forward to your new theme!
Hi Akemi.
I LOVE the painting on your new About Page! I didn’t realize you are an artist too. You speak of synchronicities, well I was digging through your archives yesterday and read all about your decision to move to America from Japan. I think your tagline will lead you well into the next phase of your blog.
Hunter,
Neale Donald Walsch was not in the Secret, but he has many books published, including “Conversation With God” series, which is his automatic writing. Automatic writing is a way to communicate with spirits — since you are a writer yourself, you might want to try it.
Davina,
Thank you. Our emails about the interview was pretty big synchronicity, wasn’t it?
Hi Akemi,
I didn’t know you had met Neale Donald Walsch!? His books were the first books I read on spirituality - I think I read the first one all in one go it was so fascinating!
Your new tagline is good and looking forward to seeing your new theme
Akemi,
I love the new tagline. I agree that the two are seamless…and will chat with my aumakua(guides and angels) about the seams in my requests. Hope, innovation and appreciation coming from you as always. I’ve linked you as one of my LIFESAVERS AND SAFETY NETS. Yippee.
Anna,
Well, I just met him at the book signing event. . . but he was very nice, had a calm and compassionate energy around him, and he gave me a hug.
Mokihana,
Thank you. You are such a great source of inspiration yourself!
I found Neale Donald Walsch in The Secret, page 177:
“There is no blackboard in the sky on which God has written your purpose, your mission in life…So your purpose is what you say it is. Your mission is the mission you give yourself. Your life will be what you create it as, and no one will stand in judgment of it, now or ever.”
Hunter,
You are right! Thank you for letting me know. That is a great quote. I love the last several chapters of The Secret that discuss the true nature of our existence and the universe.
Hi Akemi: I think the more open we are to attracting synchronicities into our life the more likely we are to experience them. I love your new design and tag line, and I hope you have fun at the lunch at the Japanese Consulate.
Marelisa,
Yes! I have a spirit guide who specifically creates synchronicities. I love her, and the more I praise her work, the more synchronicities she brings in. We are creating great partnership.
The lunch was kind of boring, but I made some new friends ^_^
