Synchronicity, a wonderful concept! Julia Cameron author of The Artist's Way introduces us to psychologist Carl Jung’s theory of synchronicity. It postulates that there is an underlying connection to the universe that manifests itself through meaningful coincidences. Some scientists are beginning to see a theoretical grounding for synchronicity in quantum physics, fractal geometry, and chaos theory, but personally...I think it is the Synchronicity Fairy.
Somewhere along the way, I apparently grew up, lost the magic of make believe and replaced it with psychological theories grounded in quantum physics and fractal geometry. I have decided it is time to dump the scientific theories and revive my inner child’s imagination.
My inner child still holds Santa Claus as the supreme high holy synchronistic sovereign. Make a list of toys, and poof– he manifests them! The Easter bunny works pretty much the same way, he just does not get the press that Santa does. Of course part of the problem is that a basket of colored boiled eggs and chocolate is good, but cannot hold a candle to a Barbie Dream House or the blue Schwinn with a handle bar basket.
I think it is time to introduce you to my Synchronicity Fairy. She is a first cousin of the Tooth Fairy and they share many of the same characteristics. The Synchronicity Fairy is stealth, preferring not to be exposed by the retail industry and blatant commercialization, like Santa and the Bunny. The Tooth Fairy requires I loose a tooth before I get a quarter under my pillow. The Synchronicity Fairy expects me to loose my doubts, my ego, and all of my preconceived notions before she will bestow her gifts. The Tooth Fairy only works with my eyes closed because I already know what her gifts are. The Synchronicity Fairy prefers I keep my eyes wide open and pay close attention so I do not miss a thing; her gifts are different every time.
Yes indeed, I believe I have reconnected to my inner child!
“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.”

Whoo-hoo! You know I love the Synchronicity Fairy! When she visits, it's like a hug from the Universe.
I love this, The Synchronicity Fairy. I'm so glad the inner child is refound and ready to play and create.
I have a Parking Angel. My husband reminds me all the time. That must be another of the Synchronicity Fairy's aliases!!
I absolutely LOVE your blog. I'm so glad you didn't let the monsters keep you down. You inspire me. (big-hugs)
youre just brilliant. I am in total agreement. The book that changed my life is called Nine Modern Day Muses and a Body Gaurd by Jill Badonsky - I add to that today ".....and a Synchronicity Fairy!" THese snippits of whimsy and wonder make my day.. honestly they allow me a little shelter from the storm and remind me of the goodness of God. I know that it's here that I need to nurture and grow and protect ~ otherwise I can start to fall into the deception that the bad guys win and any hope of peace is just a waste of energy and that faith love and hope have been defeated. i am grateful to you ~ we'll most likely never meet, ongoing interaction unlikely but the essence of who you are connected with a place in me ~ a deep inner knowing and for that I'm really very thankful I pray that you continue to be inspired and your serches all end at the house of a fairy or muse Have a great day..
