What Happens Next Changes Everything

April 2023

I saw this billboard outside of Penn Station in Newark, NJ.

Just like that. Black with white knockout type. No logo. No company name.

It was 9/28/13 and the time was 8:00AM. How do I remember all that?

An hour earlier I was staring at my reflection in the Hilton Hotel bathroom mirror. That’s when I surrendered with my whole heart to listen to my divine guidance, even if it made me uncomfortable.

I knew that billboard was my confirmation from the Universe.

My surrender had been heard and accepted.

And what happened next changed everything.

Exactly 9 months from that date—a gestational metaphor that did not escape me— a new version of my reality was birthed in epic proportions. My beautiful sister/soulmate left this plane. I should’ve been pretty pissed. I surrendered and then was dealt this shit?

But I wasn’t pissed at God or my Divine Guidance.I was pissed at a few people for murdering my sister. jkBut that’s not the story here. I just needed to get your attention. I need you to understand this.

So forgive me.

This is about synchronicity. Those moments when you’re thinking about something or someone and it’s reflected back to you like

a song that’s playing when you walk into a restaurant  that you hadn’t planned on going to.

a random question you ask someone who you just so happened to bump into at a store that you never go to

a headline on the cover of a magazine you saw at the checkout line 

a chance meeting with someone that changed the course of your life.

or a billboard that stopped you in your tracks.

Maybe you’ve called them coincidences. But when you recognize they are not and align yourself with that belief, well, 

what happens next changes everything.
