Another fantastic post and prompt. Love the interview with Michelle. I'm looking forward to trying this prompt - I already have ideas!

Wow, I've just finished reading this long post and I'm thinking that this month's play will be a great, wonderful travel deep inside. We are going to pay attention to our rotines in a new perspective. For me, it'll be a perfect period to do that, once it's my birthday next week. Usually, we stop by and think a bit in our lives in our birthday, don't we? I really like Michelle Ward's interview, I love her work and her crusades. Thank you for sharing so much with us.

phew! what a terrific post kathryn!! you had me at every word as this subject is so compelling. loved hearing your stories of connections made recently, and LOVE the project idea. this took alot of work to put together so BRAVO!! i would say this is not just True North, it is South East and West too, just as your compass indicates. thanks for having me this month. it was a very special treat because as you and i know, we connected and keep connecting and it's like we've always known one another yet have never met. i'm sure many of readers feel the same way - you make it easy to feel connected. xo

Kathryn,

I just now ordered two of the Michael Davis book you mentioned, one for myself and one for a friend. Not in a serendipitous manner, but inspired by your post. :)

this is fabulous, kathryn! and before i'd read your post, i'd written two posts this week all about synchronicity and intuition in art. so cool. synchronicity about synchronicity!! i'll have to see if i can explore it some more for your prompt later in the month.

loved the interview with michalle ward!

Great post and a wonderful prompt!! I'm a huge believer in synchronicity...this will be a meaningful project for me and I can't wait to get started....*wheels turning*...

Hi,

I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed this post, so thank you for sharing some interesting ideas...I'm unusually inspired to have a go...

Sweet Blessings,

Sprat x

This will be a great project! Your post was filled with so much to think about.
Had to share this post of mine. Ever since you posted about the heron I have wanted to send pix off to you. I will do so asap - but there are3 in this post of mine! You started it for me. So thank you.

Oh Kathryn - You must have a Magic Bag of Tricks stored under your desk - your creative prompts just get better and better1
Loved the interview with Michelle Ward!
Signs - Un signo du Dio ..I just loved that part in 'Under The Tuscan Sun' right before The Big Decision and yep..like life, we do get 'rained on'..lol..
I have just finished my entry today and posted it to my blog www.herebedreams.blogspot.com. and I have a linkback to your site

OK. Now I haven't even read this post - but I had to come straight down here to comment right away when I saw the art header at the top of this post. This post on Serendipty and Synchronicity.
The art header at the top of the page says "Follow your heart" --- do you know what is the main focus of my map, that I just posted about (in more detail) tonight?? "Follow your Art" (in the shape of a heart)!

Sheez! Guess I better listen up. Serendipity and Sychronicity are HERE!

Oh my gosh! I'm so glad I came here... it was totally serendipitous! (You followed me on Twitter, so I had to come find out who you were - I'm so glad I did!)

I've had a lot of synchronicity in my life lately, and it all seems to be pointing in the same direction. One day this incredible idea for a dream project popped into my head as a fully formed thought. It was really amazing, because all of the signs I'd had the 2 weeks before hand were all building to this idea. And then when the idea showed up, several people gave me out-of-the-blue affirmation that it was the right idea even before I told them what I was thinking of doing!

If you read the post on my blog today, though, you'll see that, while everything feels SO right, there are still obstacles to me fully realizing the dream. Given the events of the last few weeks, though, I expect the way will be clear when it's meant to be.

FUN!!!!!!!!!! Things have been over the top here, so I'm just getting here to see all the luscious fabulousness :) Thank you for the links in the eNews and with the Meant To Be book here. Most appreciated. And thank you for allllllll the wealth of inspirations -- my cells are drinking it all in -- they were very thirsty!!

Compass -- brilliant! Okay, I'm in. Dreaming compass now. Will come back and post with a link when I have something posted!

Oooooh, and Vision Cards -- also Brilliant! Can't wait...

Journey On, Luvlie Diva!!
miracles,

Thank you Kathryn!!!

Here is my compass, I really enjoyed this :D

http://haloquin.wordpress.com/2009/06/07/serendipity-prompt/

I read the prompt and, rather than anchoring it to one journal, I wanted to make an actual usable compass thing... and this is what I came up with...

~Halo xx

Thanks for alerting me to come here.A very enjoyable read. There is so much here, you have done an amazing job with this and it is truly appreciated.I loved bumping into Michelle and her interview here.
From one who experiences serendipity many times a day, in both art and life in general, I found this post affirming.
Thanks for your major efforts in putting it all together.

Complete serendipity that I saw someone RT your Tweet today: "Today's Affirmation: I follow my bliss. I create to please *ME*"

Follow your bliss is my lifestyle, and I had just talked about a friend of mine about creating to please oneself, as opposed to the anxiety of creating commissions, and how I probably have to stop saying "yes" to them.

I have always had signs and coincidences all my life, for years they have grown, with practice and attention. But lately, in the last 4 months, the speed and intensity have heightened to a level that I can't even believe. I don't know what it all means, and it's scaring me b/c I don't know what it wants from me or how to proceed. And life keeps getting in the way of art, so much so that I'm stressed all over again and unable to follow these clues.

So...finding this very post at the top of your blog is another big one, and with that I go take a shower and see what the day has in store for me.

Thanks, looking forward to getting to exploring your ideas.

I learn to follow my inner soul ~ to guide me to each and every prompts :)

Thank you again for the inspiration.

I had to make a compass of my own.

Thank you for the inspiration!

Wonderful post Kathryn! Marvelous colours and pictures still swirling through my head, inspiring me to get my journal out again! Great stuff.
I have linked to your blog but was unable to attach picture. Would you mind explainig it to me on how to do this.
Much appreciated.

Amazing post, and the serendipity occurred just before I read your blog this morning. I came to yours from another True North member's blog who wrote about how remembering what her children meant to her saved her from the depths of depression, and that is exactly how I once felt as well -- and that they were my "true north" in my life's compass. She mentioned your new post about making a serendipity compass (which I hadn't seen yet) and I was off to check it out! Serendipity indeed!

Just posted mine, Collage Diva! :)

Many thanks for the prompt to keep seeking. And just for playing along on the Journey with all of us!

Miracles,

Cool post! Funny, I read it earlier this month and posted my picture on my blog. I came back to your blog today and saw the contest. You would not believe how this road has been a sign all month. To read: http://www.redfishartwork.blogspot.com/

I just finished everything and posted it to my blog at www.Quinceberry.blogspot.com Yay! I have two synchronicity stories that I'm so excited to tell (well, I have shared one of them already, but not the other) and my compass. I'm very glad you were delayed because this allowed me time to brainstorm and to actually participate. I loved this one -- it's just exactly what I'm about.

Kathryn, thank you for this prompt.We always looking for on our way. The compass of my life, points to several directions in the hope of finding happiness in my heart and my art.
