The Curious Case of the Blue Balloon
(As promised – just a little story from me to you.)
While it’s true that I am clairaudient (i.e.: I can hear guides, teachers and departed loved ones speaking), there are times even *I* need outward signs that they’re with me and we are working on stuff together.
Such has been the case of late. I’ve had a few things rolling around in my head that I’ve pondered to death. (I am a world class ruminator, y’all.) And sometimes, I just need something to keep the junk from overtaking the truth.
Yesterday morning. I asked my angels for a sign – a blue balloon – to let me know I was on the right track and all was well. Usually, I ask and then just forget about it. They are good at reminding me about those signs.
As I was driving home from work, I realized I hadn’t seen my blue balloon and decided to have a pout about it. Out loud, even. I said “If I don’t see one by tomorrow, I will know things suck.” (I’m a cheery sort, am I not?)
I heard the words “Can you just trust us?” and I replied (out loud because I was alone in car) “I’m afraid to. Afraid that it won’t be what I want.” and again I heard the word “Trust”.
Grudgingly, I said “okay okay okay”.
Just then, something caught my eye on the right side of the road where there’s a jogging path. I don’t know what it was that caught my eye but I looked up quickly and there it was – my blue balloon.
Someone had tied up a bunch of balloons to a post and they were in various stages of deflation but there, clear as day, was my balloon.
I’m a dork.
I cried.
Because they’ve never, ever failed me when I’ve asked for a sign of this kind.
So, the watchword for the day is TRUST.
And blue balloons.
And cake. (We’re having a birthday at the office.)
But mostly, TRUST.
And so it is.
(P.S.: Signs come in all kinds of ways – I hear songs on the radio, books have fallen open for me – you actually do get to ask for what kind of sign you want. Try it and see!)
What kind of sign will you ask for?

I get my signs through written pieces (like enewsletters – that seem they are talking right to me about things happening in my life) or sometimes songs on the radio.
That’s because you pay attention and catch them!
Spirit knows how to get your attention, Miss.
You may know that I’m a big old “sign” junkie. (On my blog I’ve talked about all the nutty signs I see…)
Signs are such a fun way of confirming things! It makes me feel like life is giant game where we are supposed to be having the utmost fun collecting clues as we progress around the board…I love them!
You’ve inspired me to ask to see a yellow flower in the next little while as confirmation that I’m taking the right steps.

They are all over the place, aren’t they? I love looking for them too and you’re right. It IS like collecting little pieces as we go around the board.
Did you see your sunflower today?
Okay, I’m going to more specific to be more “sporting” for the Universe…I’m going to ask for yellow sunflower!
Lisa,
I am quite a believer in signs, why just this morning my pre- meditation reading was just exactly what I was needing to read – I had been seeking an answer to what I could do next to not get Stuck on my weight loss/ journey and the whole chapter just relieved my worry….am looking forward to reading it again.
I find that I discover most signs in books….things that I can read and analyze.
Hey Patricia,
I’ve had books literally fall into my lap that had just what I needed, when I needed it. I love when things like that happen. And it’s just one more reassurance that the Universe and I are in sync.
Yesterday I set out the intention “I intend to receive from expected and unexpected sources”. Today I received a check in the mail from a consignment shop for things I had long ago forgotten about.
It works!
Marianne,
Now how cool is that??? Look out world, Marianne is manifesting!
Lisa,
I just went to a garage sale, and saw not one but two beautiful yellow sunflowers growing in their garden! (Which is interesting since I haven’t seen any growing in anyone’s gardens yet this year…)
Yay! I guess that means I’m doing what I’m supposed to.
Saw a blue balloon today, thought of you…

[...] they are. For you, too. I just happen to recognize it pretty quickly and, as mentioned in the previous post on the magical blue balloons, I know it when I see [...]
