Confessions of a Synchronicity Junkie (No Black Cats Were Harmed in the Making of This Blog

Are you superstitious?

So, are you superstitious? Let’s unpack that! According to my dusty old dictionary, superstition is an “excessively credulous belief in the supernatural.” But let’s be real—one person’s “woo-woo nonsense” is another’s “sacred ritual.” Me? I’m over here casually strolling under ladders like I’m auditioning for a daredevil circus act. Friday the 13th? Pfft. I waltz through that day with the confidence of a bull in a china shop (minus the broken dishes, because adulting).

Now, does this make me immune to life’s little “oopsie-daisy” moments? Absolutely not! But here’s the tea: I refuse to side-eye black cats or blame Mercury Retrograde for my Wi-Fi crashing. Cold, hard logic? That’s for Vulcans and Star Track enthusiasts (looking at you, Mr. Spock). A world where everything must “make sense”? Sounds about as fun as a spreadsheet party. No thanks—I’ll keep my humanity, complete with its glorious chaos!

But synchronicity? Oh, my friend, that’s my passion. I live in a world where nothing is a coincidence—it’s all a cosmic wink. Meet a stranger? Clearly, the universe sent them to hand-deliver a life lesson (or maybe just a killer cookie recipe). A bird lands nearby? That’s Mother Nature’s TED Talk just for me. Clouds morph into shapes? That’s the sky’s way of doodling motivational posters.

Call me “superstitious” if you must. Scoff at my habit of high-fiving fate. Roll your eyes at my belief that the universe is my overly enthusiastic bestie, conspiring to make my dreams come true. But here’s the thing: my life is a glitter-filled parade of magic, wonder, and the occasional “wait, did that just HAPPEN?” moments. Logic can keep its pocket protector—I’ll be over here, dancing with serendipity, sipping cosmic lemonade, and living my best enchanted life.

Who’s with me? 🕯️✨🚫🐈⬛ (But seriously, don’t walk under that ladder. I take zero responsibility for paint cans.)

~ The magic of synchronicity ~

Yesterday, I pondered the age-old question, “Who am I?” This morning, a nudge from the universe arrived in the form of a forgotten memory: a Facebook profile picture from thirteen years ago. The image, a cloaked figure wielding a sword and an ancient tome, has persisted as the banner of my WordPress page.


This warrior-wizard has always resonated with me, embodying the duality of archetypes. The sword and book, symbols of action and knowledge, represent for me the pursuit of a life imbued with courage and wisdom. The paradox of the active blade held passively and the passive book wielded as a weapon reflects the dance of yin and yang.


The synchronicity between my meditation and this resurfacing image is profound. It reinforces my belief that meaning and purpose arise at the convergence of energy and circumstance. The materialist scoffs at the notion of significance in such seemingly random occurrences. But for those attuned to the magic of the universe, these coincidences are guiding lights.


The magic lies in cultivating an awareness of unseen connections, a discipline of the mind that seeks out the threads that weave the fabric of reality. In this paradigm, the inner and outer realms are not separate but form a seamless continuum. The warrior-wizard’s sword and book are not distinct tools, but a unified expression of the potential that lies within us all.
