What if the opportunity you've been asking for is already here… and you almost missed it because it didn't arrive the way you expected?

After several weeks of some pretty deep conversations, we were ready for a little fun.

There was a lot moving around us—literally. Storms had just swept through Michele's area, trees were down, debris was everywhere, and we found ourselves talking about what happens after the storm.

When something has been cleared away, what becomes visible that we couldn't see before?

That led us to this week's I Ching question:

How can we recognize the opportunities coming into our lives—and discern which ones are actually aligned with our personal path and higher selves?

We thought we were asking a fairly light question.

The I Ching had other ideas.

Almost immediately, the reading began mirroring what was happening around us in ways that made us laugh: thunderstorms, clearing debris, wandering into unfamiliar territory, helpful people, unexpected paths—and, naturally, that recurring instruction we apparently need to hear again and again:

Be still.

But this time, there was another layer.

What if the opportunity that's right for you doesn't look like the opportunity you imagined?

What if it arrives through someone unexpected?

What if the unfamiliar path is actually the aligned one?

And what might you need to clear—from your home, your relationships, your expectations, or even your own thinking—before you can see what's trying to come in?

We wander through Feng Shui, the front of the Bagua, helpful people, intuition, inner truth, clearing physical and energetic debris, and the curious relationship between being visible and being able to see what's becoming visible to you.

Along the way, one phrase emerged that we think we'll be sitting with for a while:

Unfamiliar doesn't mean misaligned.

So if you've been asking for something new, waiting for a sign, or wondering why the next step hasn't appeared yet, come mash it up with us.

Because maybe it has.
