The word “synchronicity” was coined by Carl Jung, famous Swiss Psychiatrist, to mean “meaningfully coincidence.” For example, you need a service and two people mention the same provider, unsolicited, in one day. You’ve been thinking about calling a person and you suddenly see him or her while running errands.
Our lives have a narrative structure, and synchronistic events often reflect turning points and directional arrows in our narrative. They can also indicate that we are in a state of “flow,” and synchronicities have been referred to as the “angel’s way” of speaking with us.
When we are in a challenging place in our lives and without actively seeking support, we may find that help arrives in the form of an accidental sequence of events which occurs exactly as we need in order to assist us in moving through a circumstance or event.
People often report the following synchronicities:
It is common for telephones, addresses, and wrong numbers to crop up in many stories so that individuals may connect.
Synchronistic events are almost always present for two people to meet the first time or an important subsequent time.
It is considered synchronistic when seeming bad luck turns out to have a positive significance.
Sometimes something will delay you, and the delay leads to a more fortunate outcome.
The more obstinate we become about the way we think something “should” be, the more likely synchronicities will come to speak to us.
The kind of child we have is always synchronistic–sometimes making parents confront their own shadows, develop their own strengths, and so on.
Most important, if we pay attention to the meaningful coincidences in our lives, we can question their significance. Are they directional messages, are they action-oriented, are they symbolic?
When an extraordinary, meaningful occurrence has significance for us, we should question how we might let it guide or change our story.
In 1910, Sonora Smart Dodd invented her own celebration of Father’s Day to honor her father who was a Civil War veteran—William Jackson Smart. He was a single parent who reared six children in Spokane, Washington, and his birthday was in June. His daughter Sonora felt he should be honored in a dedicated celebration.
In 1913, a bill to create national recognition of the holiday was introduced in Congress. In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson went to Spokane to speak in a Father’s Day celebration and wanted to make it an official holiday. Congress instead resisted the idea, feeling that the day would become commercialized.
President Calvin Coolidge recommended in 1924 that the day be nationally observed, but stopped short of creating a national proclamation.
Finally, Maine Senator Margaret Chase Smith wrote a proposal in 1957 suggesting that Congress was ignoring fathers for over 40 years while honoring mothers. (Mother’s Day was established in 1914.)
In 1966, President Lyndon B. Johnson issued the first presidential proclamation honoring fathers, designating the third Sunday in June as Father’s Day. Six years later, in 1972, President Richard Nixon signed the holiday into law, making it a permanent national holiday.
On this day, take a moment to reflect on your father figure and honor his spirit.

Crystals are composed of minerals and are part of the Earth’s energy. Each crystal with its own color, configuration, and properties is believed to hold a different Earth memory and energy.
Throughout history, most religions and cultures have used stones and crystals for both decorative and symbolic purposes. For example, the Celtic people understood that garnet gave a person courage and energy to take appropriate action. Certain Native American tribes placed turquoise on the breastplates of warriors to provide protection. In ancient Babylon and Greece, agate was used as a charm of healing and protection. Amber has been used in ancient cultures as a bringer of courage and honesty.
While wearing jewelry containing crystals and stones is an age-old tradition, more recently it seems as a society we have rediscovered the beauty and power of crystals not only for adornment, but also for assisting in healing the body’s energy.
Stones can be used to stimulate and heal energy in the body. For example, the following stones, among others, are associated with specific purposes:
To increase your general well-being: clear quartz and zircon;
To balance your emotions and reduce depression: jade, aventurine, rose quartz;
To aid in digestion and ease food allergies: citrine, turquoise, agate;
To ease pain, agitation, and stress: amethyst, sugilite, labradorite.
You can place these stones in your pockets, in the area where you sleep or work, or wear jewelry containing these stones.
By understanding the therapeutic and historical associations of stones and crystals, you can wisely choose stones that can bring both beauty and healing power into your life.
