Open Your Eyes

Every time I opened my eyes last Thursday afternoon, I saw something strange. I kept getting this feeling I was going to see something amazing. In fact, a little voice inside kept prodding, open your eyes. You're going to see something amazing. Keep them open. You don't want to miss this. You'll know it when you see it.



I walked around a local park for an hour, keeping my eyes open. A male cardinal perched on a log only twenty feet from me. Two butterflies (in March? In Michigan??) hovered over my head. Later that afternoon, a chubby woodchuck raced before me.

Amazing? Not really. Cute, though.

Later that afternoon, at a park near a river, I happened to glance up. A patch of rainbow misted through the clouds. It hadn't rained, and indeed, no rain had been forecasted. Instead of returning my attention to the rushing water, the park, or the seagulls squawking about, I searched the rest of the sky.

Two rainbow rings converged and circled the sun. I've never seen anything like it. They were bright, intense, unusual. I couldn't glance away.

Amazing.

I knew it as soon as I saw it.

The next day, a mallard duck stood on the roof of my two-story house. I wish it would have stayed long enough for me to take a picture!

Have you ever had a sensation that something different would happen that day? Did you listen? Did you scoff? Did something out of the ordinary happen?

Join me on Wednesday when we'll talk about vision boards!
