Signs and Synchronicities, Oh My

Hello, and thank you for taking the time to view my post. There is no way to make this short, and for that I apologize up front. But I need to make some good friends, with an emphasis on good, or the opposite of bad. :-) Where are you all hiding at? Cause I can't find you in my day to day life. So if this post rings true, you know what to do. I hope.

So signs and synchronicities, what say you? Are they real, or just coincidences? I myself believe they are real. I also believe that they are a form of communication from God, or as I call it Source. Anyways, I have synchronicities in my life all of the time, and I mean crazy strings of events that there is no way to explain them away. The problem is the people that I have in my life, are the opposite of supportive of this part of my life, and it's a major part. Or better stated, rather than what is happening in my life being crazy, I am crazy for believing that it may actually mean something, or that there is something deeper behind it.

So rather than talking in abstracts, here is a recent example so that you can have a good idea of what I am talking about here. Before this past summer, I was checking to see who was coming to Colorado in concert. After a long search of different bands, I end up going to Steve Vai's website. He's wasn't touring, but I noticed a note at the bottom of the webpage that said he was coming to Colorado for a guitar clinic in Vail in August. So I go to that website. (I can't afford something like that, but I wanted to check it out anyways.) Then after reading about the guitar clinic, there's a note at the bottom of that page talking about how Steve will be playing a free concert in Copper Mountain the following weekend. So he wasn't touring, but he's was coming here for free! So I made a mental note of the date, and told my wife so she could get off from work for it.

Summer passes, and I start going through about 5 major things all at the same time, all of which are
life altering. Nothing in my life will be the same in a few months from now. But long story short, I completely forgot about the concert. Then when I go to look it up, thinking it may have passed already. My wife tells me the wrong date, so then I really think that I missed it. But Source told me to verify the date. So I did, and it was that day in about 4 hours, in Copper Mountain.

My wife forgot to take off from work, so it was my daughter and I going to the show. We also planned on going up to Glenwood Springs after the show, so that we could climb up to Hanging Lake the next day, which my daughter hadn't done since she was around 4 years old, and had basically forgotten it. So I wanted her to experience that too, before school kicked off it's new year.

So we were rushing around the house, getting everything ready to go. I asked my daughter if she had grabbed a hat, because she might want one. She said no, so I asked her which one she wanted. She took a bit to decide, so I said how about this one, and grabbed her pink baseball hat. She said ok, but I could tell she wasn't thrilled with it. But she didn't know what else to grab, so that's what we took. We stopped to get some burritos on the way up the mountain, then continued to the show. When we got there, we found out that we couldn't bring outside food in. So we decided to eat on a stone fence next to a roundabout outside the venue since we had a little under 30 minutes til show time.

So we're eating our burritos, and a SUV pulls up in front of us. Then when they drive away, a hat comes flying off behind them into the street landing in front of us. So I get up and get the hat, and yell a couple of times that they dropped their hat, but they couldn't hear me. So I told my daughter when I was walking back to her, that somebody must have heard that she needed a hat. I told her if they came back before we finished eating looking for it, that we would give it back to them. But if they didn't come back, that I would let her keep it. They didn't come back.

So we go into the show, and end up next to an older woman and her daughter. One of the first things out of the moms' mouth was how much she liked my daughters hat. She said that she almost bought that exact hat in a store not 50 yards away from where we were sitting.
At the end of the show, I asked my daughter if she would like to try and get Steve Vai's autograph, to which she lit up and said yes. So we went over to a fence with some other people waiting, and we end up getting Steve's autograph on the hat that we had just found in the parking lot before the show.

Then we go to Glenwood Springs for the night. We get a hotel room, and we're sitting outside our room taking in the sights and sounds. When there is a thud in the middle of the road. So we try to see what it was, but it was dark. So I guessed it was a tire tread or something, and went to get it out of the street so no cars would hit it, and it ends up being a Domino's pizza bag with a bunch of food still in it. So I called Domino's and reported the lost pizza bag, to which I'm told to wait outside and a driver will be by soon. Well a half hour to 40 minutes later I'm on the phone to report the lost pizza bag again. I tell them what happened again. The guy tells the manager, and he says it's the first that he's even heard of it. But to wait inside our room if we want, and he would send over a driver with a $10 reward, to which I said thank you. Then I asked him what they were going to do with the food inside the bag, to which he said we could have it if we want it. Cool! Two times in one day, that something flew off of or out of a car in front of us, that we ended up getting for free.

Now here's the kicker, as if that wasn't enough already. When we finally check out the food to see what is in the pizza bag. There were 2 Hawaiian pizzas and some BBQ chicken wings. What's so weird and crazy about that? Well from experience as a pizza delivery driver for at least a couple of years, I know how rare it is to get a Hawaiian pizza ordered. But even then, if it was two pizzas, I don't remember ever delivering 2 Hawaiian pizzas. Hawaiian with pepperoni or something else, sure. But not just Hawaiian pizzas. But even that isn't what makes it crazy.

What makes it crazy, is what I didn't tell you at the beginning of this story. When I said that I was going through 5 major things in my life at the same time. One of those things is a pending divorce. But it wasn't always that way. In fact, a few weeks before this concert we were all going to be moving to Hawaii together as a family. After the unfortunate change of events happened, the concert and Glenwood Springs got turned into what might be one of the last nice things I get to do with my daughter that she remembers. How quickly things change. But it was as if Source was saying go to Hawaii, don't pass Go, and don't collect $200. Unfortunately, my wife and daughter do not take signs and synchronicities seriously, and this all means absolutely nothing to them. Even though we have video at the fence when we were getting Steve's autograph, the hat with the autograph on it, and video of the Domino's pizza bag with 2 Hawaiian pizzas inside. Like I said above, I am treated like I'm crazy, not that the things that are happening in my life are crazy.

So that's the abbreviated version of the story. Yes, seriously. So what say you. Is that all just one big string of coincidences? I need to find the people that are awake, and know better. So where are you at?
You can view a video of the Steve Vai concert in Copper Mountain at the link below. One of my favorite songs that he played that day, was a song that I didn't even go to the show to hear. But the moment was magical, you can find it at the 42:22 mark in the video. The song is called Whispering A Prayer.
