Invisible Thread

“An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, place, or circumstance. The thread may stretch or tangle, but it will never break” - Chinese proverb

Today I got a phone call from a friend who I was just thinking about this morning. I love it when my friends and family answer my psychic calls! She's a friend/mentor that I recently met who's a filmmaker and bright light. She called to share some exciting news and ideas that I had inspired since we met a few weeks ago. I won't share yet since I don't want to jinx anything :)

She did mention the Chinese proverb of the invisible red thread and I had to look it up.  I've been meeting so many amazing people from different or similar backgrounds that's inevitable that we attracted each other because it is our fate. Whether we go deeper with the connection or if it's just for that moment, we somehow affect each other in one shape or form. I'm so grateful for the powerful people in my life and excited to co-create meaningful projects that spread awareness and transformation.

At some point humanity disconnected with each other and the Earth which is why we face our global challenges now.  But if we start to remember that we are all connected to each other and every thing,  then the healing, strengthening and straightening of the invisible thread will begin and we can coexist peacefully.

Zimriding Adventure

 

I just had my 4th Zimride the other day. Some of my friends can't believe that I actually ride with complete strangers to and from Los Angeles and San Francisco. I guess it is the modern day "hitchhiking" but the difference is you pay in advance and you select who you want to ride with by checking out their profiles on Facebook. Call me cray, but I have no problem meeting new people and sitting with them for 5 1/2 hours. It goes by really fast and by the time we all answer the top 5 questions: Where are you from? What do you do? Why are you going to LA/SF? Is this your first time zimriding? What kind of music do you want to listen to? I just sit back, relax and enjoy the ride.

Through this mini adventure, I've met all kinds of characters - a cinematographer, aerospace engineer, environmental engineer, nonprofit people, a teacher/aspiring model and students. I've shared many laughs, stories and learn new things that I probably would never know if not meeting these people. I know I may never see them ever again but what matters to me is that we reduce our carbon footprint, save money on the ridiculously high priced gas and we get to share a trusted space with each other even for that moment.
