Greetings!

 11/11/11

Feeling lucky?

I saw a survey on the internet asking what you thought would happen on this interesting numerical day:

Something good will happen

Nothing will happen

Something bad will happen

Folks were about even with the good or the nothing, both in mid 40s percentage. All hail the optimists!

11 is a prime number. If you want to play with numbers:

11 x 11 = 121

111111 x 111111 = 12345654321

 111111111 x 111111111 = 12345678987654321  

That's kinda fun.

I also learned that on 11/11/11, as in 1911, there was an event now called the Great Blue Norther.  The day started with record high temperatures, and then a crazy drop happened - 40-50 degrees most places, and a record 66 degree drop. Dust storms, thunderstorms, tornados, and blizzards occurred all across the country. 

That's kinda crazy.

We honor Veterans Day on 11/11 because the original armistice/ceasefire of World War I (the Great War) happened at the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month.

There is a lot of talk of power in the number 11. Many spiritual traditions view 11 as an important number. There is all kinds of internet chatter and a horror movie saying yucky stuff will happen because of all the 11's.

Obviously, I write this prior to 11/11/11, so if some portal opens and weird things happen, just know I love you.

Seriously, I like seeing 11:11 on the clock or any 11's anywhere. I place the belief on it that it signifies I am waking up. I am becoming all that is me. When I see 11:11, I take it as a nod that I am grooving along on the path that is good for me. 

Notice the words I used: I place the belief. We all are placing our beliefs on everything everyday. I choose to believe the 11:11 is a good thing. You can choose to believe it is a bad thing. You can chose to believe it is nothing. Seeing 3:05 on a clock doesn't mean a thing to me. Why should 11:11? Because I choose to place a belief.

Start paying attention to your beliefs. Let 11/11/11 be a wake up call in such that maybe you are hanging on to old beliefs that no longer make sense or serve you. (Is your world flat, Columbus?) Start waking up to what really makes you tick. Start waking up and tuning in to you. 

Maybe when you see 11:11, you too will smile on the inside and know that you are grooving along on your own right path.
