Happy Friday the 13th everyone! You know, I’ve always found the number 13 to be pretty lucky for me, thereby thumbing my nose at the old superstition. It’s sort of strange to get excited to be assigned to the 13th floor (often marked as 14, as though you might be fooled thinking that after 12 comes… 14) or to be number 13 in line for something, but it’s true. Which brings me to this really cool workshop a friend of mine took. It was all about transitions. Which should, perhaps, be capitalized, since the Transitions were usually huge. People in her course were leaving marriages, changing jobs, facing trauma, drama, uncertainty of all kinds. And the big takeaway for her?
Intuition.
As in, we all have it. It’s that little voice inside you, that feeling in the gut that tells you — or tries to tell you — when you are veering off course. And when you are heading exactly in the right direction. Let’s face it, change is hard. But we all go through it, sometimes in big ways, sometimes small. One of the exercises she had that I really loved is you write down ten words. Then you take the four that most speak to you. And you compose a sentence. She said that everyone in her course was blown away by the power of that sentence. I tried it, and my intuition is telling me that the sentence I came up with is too sensitive to share. But honestly it took me about five minutes and I had a real aha moment around what my subconscious wanted to tell me.
Why don’t you try it? You don’t have to share, simply let us know if you found it useful. This stuff can truly change lives.
A shout out to Dawn Atkins, Dawn your cover is gorgeous!! I don’t blame you for being all excited. And Joanne Rock, OMG I wish I could have been at National this year. It is like a sorority event. You looked gorgeous as always.
Candace, I want your job!!
Enjoy this special day. If your intuition is telling you it’s going to be a lucky one, then it will be. So, once again, Happy Friday 13th!

Thanks, ya’all….it’s going to be a busy, fun weekend (lots of partying!). (D) (^)
Happy Birthday, Katie. The big 4-0!! I trust my gut all the time. I believe in intuition.
Sound like an interesting exercise … I think I’ll have to try it!!
Hope you had a great birthday Katie!!
Thanks for sharing that “exercise”. I DID try it. I must say I didn’t learn anything by it, as I am quite aware of what I find important in my life. It DID reinforce it, mind you. I’ll give it that….
As for my intuition, yes there are times that I just have “this feeling” and I DO try to act on it. I’m getting better at listening to it as time marches on.
I consider every Friday a lucky Friday — not just the 13th — but I will wish you a belated Happy Friday the 13th! Better late than never?
