People wonder about signs. I often don\u2019t look for or need signs, as I feel Maya\u2019s presence constantly. Around me and inside of me. But yes, there are other times that signs are evident. There have been certain rainbows, a special wind, the way the sunlight hits grasses or the leaves, a bird or lights playing a trick on me. One thing that has been so consistent has been 11:11. 11:11 was Maya\u2019s favorite time. If we happened to notice the time when 11:11 appeared on a clock, Maya would get almost giddy. She\u2019d remind me to make a wish. And so we did.<\/p>\n

Over the months, something uncanny has been happening.\u00a0 There may be hours that I would not be paying attention to time, and then, I\u2019d have a thought.\u00a0 It could be a sad thought, an angry one, or a happy moment, most often related to Maya.\u00a0 I would happen to glance at the clock and there 11:11 would be smiling right at me.\u00a0 One day, in a really good mood, while cooking and dancing in the kitchen, certainly not being in touch with time, just being present, there I glanced again.\u00a0 And yes, 11:11 was there to greet me.\u00a0 It\u2019s as if Maya is saying, \u201chi, mom!\u201d<\/p>\n

I had a fun trip to the Newark Airport a few months ago. The GPS on the dashboard started by saying that my arrival time would be sometime after 12:00 noon. I decided not to follow the route guidance. Low and behold, with taking my own route, you guessed it. 11:11 was the projected arrival time for the majority of the journey. I smiled each time I looked at this number. And I actually pulled into my parking spot at precisely 11:11. I love these \u201chello\u2019s.\u201d And I too, now love 11:11. So please join me. If you happen to glance at the clock and see 11:11, smile and make a wish.<\/p>\n
