Dimes
For many years, I have been finding pennies – sidewalks, parking lots, shiny, not so shiny, in the dirt, among the rocks, etc. Twice I have found folded dollar bills (https://www.livelifevibrant.com/getting-a-raise). Those were special occasions involving direct angelic intervention and I knew the message was extra important. In all cases, I have felt that I was being reminded that I was on the right track.
During the last 3 or 4 weeks I have been finding dimes. This strikes me as quite unusual. I pick out a parking place in a large lot, get out of my car and right there next to my foot is the third dime in a row. Something is going on here! A friend sent me some information about the symbolic meaning. Dimes represent fresh starts, coming full circle and returning to our center. More importantly to me, dimes have come to mean shiny opportunities once thought lost, and are considered beacons of promise.
As a child, I was a reader. When so many others were out playing sports and doing all the after school activities, I was in my room reading. When I left home and began to travel to New York and London, my goal was to be a writer. Destiny, of course, took me in lots of different directions and required some tough spiritual lessons along the way. I never gave up on the idea, but I had numerous roads to travel first and the goal became a distant dream.
And so I realize the message of the dimes… after so many years, I can place my focus back on writing. An opportunity once thought lost has come full circle. Whether it be blog or story, coaching article or novel, I love to share my thoughts and stories through writing. The universe, as always, through dimes or dollars, kindly reminds us of our purpose, our direction and that we are being watched over and blessed.
I just pulled into a parking space today! Got out and noticed a dime right by my foot and the car. I went on my way and now am looking forward to seeing if it is still there when I return. I have certainly had a wonderful afternoon.
Perhaps there’s a shining opportunity coming your way!
I never miss an opportunity to pick up a penny or greater on the ground. I always say, “Praise God!” or “Thank you God!” when discovered. On each coin is engraved, “In God We Trust.”
