weirdness follows me...

So I'm driving to school a couple of weeks ago and my ADD brain takes a jaunt at a stop light. I end up scribbling down a bunch of phrases and words on a gas receipt. Now normally this would be a list of things I need to do, or didn't get done or something equally exciting. This time - for the first time ever, it was the makings of a poem (or a song if I could sing like G).

It was very strange.

I carried the gas receipt around with me for a few days until I found a notebook I'd been saving for some reason. I sat down with a pencil and wrote out the poem I started on the gas receipt and tucked the receipt into the front pocket of the notebook. I wrote 2 different poems right after I finished the first one.

The weirdness continued when I read what I wrote and didn't hate it.

Just when I thought all of the weirdness was over - I propped up the notebook that proceeded to fall face down onto my desk, the second I looked away. I glanced back at my desk to see what made the noise and saw a yellow post-it stuck to the back of my notebook. As I picked it up, I took a look at the small square yellow piece of paper stuck askew to the back. Written in pencil, was the name of one of my former clients - a wonderful woman who owns a local book publishing company...

I got goosebumps.

It was weird, creepy and exhilarating all at the same time.

Call it what you will - intuition or whatever - I've learned that stuff like this happens to me for a reason and if I don't at least attempt to follow through with the path before me - I become un-centered. My judgement gets cloudy and I make really poor decisions from being un-centered. Sometimes I figure it out really quick, and sometimes I'm really slow on the uptake but I figure it out eventually. This one was kind of hard to ignore for some reason- even harder than when my job was literally killing me...

Maybe I'm getting smarter - or just more in tune with myself? I don't know for sure. Maybe it's because I've been hanging out with some very interesting people over the last 10 months.

I do know it's weird...
