Spicy Mocha and The Synchronicity of Dog

I picked my son up from tennis and we decided to hit up Colectivo on our way home. He ordered a pink panther smoothie and I got a wheat free macaroon and at the last minute a spicy iced mocha. After all, an intuitive lady said not too long ago I need more spice, more heat in my life, and I was just thinking about that this morning sitting in the sunlit partial shade of my wild yarden. My front yard shifts from a full spread of yellow suns and violets come early spring into a blanket full of white and red clover with clusters of fresh herbs and a few vegetables once summer sets in. This year I even included a chili pepper plant for the precise reason of getting more spice into my diet. It's showing off the cutest white star shaped flowers, along with miraculously appearing little green chilies now. I tried one of the chili peppers that emerged the other day, but honestly, it was about as spicy as a cucumber in mild salsa. So after I had already gotten done with the whole credit swipe process, I added the spicy mocha made with oatmilk, and waited with my son for everything to arrive at the counter. I chatted amicably with an acquaintance whose name is David, like my husband, only he isn’t like my husband at all, except that they are both nice. I asked this particular individual named David what’s inspiring him these days and he said it’s his morning walk. He asked me the same, and I told him about my wild yarden and how I delight in seeing the wildflowers come up and pop out into blossom. Soon our order was ready, and I followed a slight, gentle nudge to walk out the front door instead of the back way, which would have been closer to our car, which we’d parked up the street and to the left. On our way around the corner, I noticed two of the cutest, sweetest looking dogs. I am much more attuned to noticing dogs these days, thanks to my daughter. She is a deep and true dog lover. If she could put her arms around every dog that exists, she would do so in instant. I paused in front of these two lovely creatures, one with the clearest, brightest blue eyes I’ve ever seen, and the other the soften tan lab mix with gentle brown eyes and slightly shaggy fur around the face. I asked the young man with them if I could say hello. He smiled full of kindness and said, “Of course!” As I began petting the blue-eyed dog, quite possibly an Australian shepherd or or at least a blended lineage with some Aussie shepherd in there, another young fellow came over. He looked so familiar and his face was full of light. I told them how my youngest daughter would love their dogs because she has a true universal dog lover. I said how she loves every single dog - it doesn’t matter if they are cute or if they have personality issues or they are mangy or perfectly groomed, she loves them ALL. I shared how we’ve started going on walks without our dogs so she can meet and give attention to all the dogs in our neighborhood. The young men were touched. Then the one I recognized said, “You’re Alicia, right?” I nodded. “I just got your email yesterday. I really enjoy getting your emails. I find them really inspirational.” I said, “Thank you.” I looked at him, my head slightly cocked to the side trying to place how he got on my email list. Finally I asked, “Where do we know each other from?” He replied, “The coffee shop.” Then I remembered. “Were you about to move to…” “Yeah,” he replied, “I moved to Washington, but I live in Colorado now.” Geeze, what are the chances I meet a soul brother who happens to be visiting Madison! I asked him how he liked Colorado. He said it’s okay but he’s still trying to get stable there. He told me how he actually feels more comfortable here in Madison, Wisconsin. I explained how we may feel more comfortable physically in different places based on the energetics but we can always tap into the template and energetics of The New Earth and then run that in our light bodies. Then we can make it easier for that to be available to more people. I asked him if he has tried rooting into New Heaven and the New Earth. He was curious to try it and asked me to write down what I had said. I shared a little bit about how Hawaii was the first place I fell in love with earth, and how in Peru it felt like plugging into the Mother Board - like it breathed me in different ways, and I felt like, “THIS is how it is SUPPOSED TO BE BE!” He told me that he feels really alive when he travels to other countries and feels there might be somewhere out there for him that feels EVEN better than Madison, and I encouraged him to put Peru on his go-to list. Soon two lovely young women sat down nearby. My young friend asked if he could email me at the address listed on my email newsletter, and I said that he could, and I would look forward to hearing any of his thoughts. I shook the first young man’s hand, finally getting his name, and both young men and I exchanged soul smiles. I love being around people unafraid to make deep and lasting eye contact, soul to soul without any connotations of anything except pure soul happily saying “hello, it’s nice to be in this space with you.” And with that it was time for us to go rejoin our animal lover who was awaiting our arrival home.
