The offer I did not refuse

The offer I did not refuse when my vision board edged me towards it

Synchronicity

2 years ago, land-locked, locked-down and single in North Oxfordshire, I made an Intuitive Vision Board. 

It contained many coastal images, signs of romance and a man in uniform.  “How’s all this going to happen, I mused,” considering my current circumstances.  “There’s not even a river close by, let alone the sea.”  As for the opportunity for love, we were barely allowed out in public without wearing a mask let alone carry out a conversation with a date over a drink.

A few days later a client called me.  We were chatting away when, out of the blue, she offered me her beautiful holiday home by the sea – fora whole year.  Boy was I thrilled.  I wouldn’t know a soul there but I absolutely knew in my heart this is what I needed to do.

I thanked her profusely while proceeding to cancel the cottage in Hanwell I was about to take on, forfeiting a month’s rent in the process. 

Two weeks later I move to Padstow, a fishing village in North Cornwall.

Unloading my car to move into the cabin that would be my watery abode, a pheasant crossed my path.  I immediately recalled the pheasant on my vision board (above), next to the lovers in embrace.  “Woah,” I thought, “Padstow looks promising.”

Sitting down to my first cup of tea, I gaze out through the French windows in deep gratitude.  I have a panoramic view of the estuary and a scene almost identical to the ones on my vision board (both above).  It took my breath away.

Love in Padstow

I fell in love with Padstow immediately. 
One month later, I met Sam and fell in love with him too. 
In silhouette he looks remarkably like the man on my vision board (above). While the woman’s curly mop matches my own. 

We met on my first day online – as it was his. Super-synchronicity.
By the time I’d worked out that Fordingbridge (where he lived) was not in Cornwall, where my logical mind had intended to meet a man, I discovered he was 4-hours drive away in Hampshire.  Too late, we were already smitten.  My intuitive mind had won the day.

Even more curious, here was my man in service like the war veteran on my vision board (above). 

Sam turned out to have been with the Metropolitan police and had headed up a surveillance team combatting major organised crime in the UK.  He showed me a portrait of himself (above), painted by his best friend who is a professional artist, and it bore strong resemblances to the man in uniform. 

Considering all the sailing images on my board, I wasn’t surprised to discover Sam was also an accomplished trans-Atlantic sailor.  Whereas I, who’d grown up by the sea, had only been on a yacht once and had no intention to take it up sailing – so this alone would not explain why sails had appeared on my board.

A year later, we moved back to Hanwell, North Oxfordshire, together.  We moved into the very same cottage I’d turned down a year earlier. 

Tucked away behind a large farmhouse that looked remarkably like the farmhouse on my vision board (above), the Barn Cottage had been occupied all during my absence but was available again for our return. Perfect timing.

The offer I did not refuse

Recently we returned to Padstow where Sam asked me to marry him, in gallant knight fashion, on bended knee.  

He chose the very spot we visited on our first date.  Stepper Point – with its commanding presence at the head of the Camel estuary and over-seeing the surfing beach of Polzeath on the other side where his woman (below) was waiting.   

Here was my knight come to claim his damsel – and this was the offer I did not refuse.

Can the Intuitive Vision Board work for you?

When your mind is open and your head uncluttered with thoughts, the intuitive channel can operate.  

There is no need to plan what your vision should contain and go chasing after it. It will come to you as you quieten down for the duration of the workshop and prepare to receive the greater intelligence that is available to you when you are a vessel for it.  

Watching and waiting for the intuitive signs and symbols and responding to these prompts with action, is what’s needed.  If you don’t engage with them nothing will happen and the moment will pass.

Where there’s cake there’s hope

I share my love story now among other broadcast stories of angst and despair that predominate. 

My hope is to remind you that you too can rise above these prevailing narratives to find peace of mind and an instructive spiritual pathway through the malaise and collapse of our times.
 
Above all to remember that the good life includes a cup of tea, a slice of cake, and a good listener – only an invitation away.
