I love when that happens.\u00a0 I love when I am so convinced of something and think I know it and then it turns out I did not.\u00a0 It helps me stay flexible and open to looking at things in a new way, to see the broader picture.<\/p>\n<p>I was convinced that the loved one shared my birthday, since I knew the <strong>April 10<\/strong> date was the connection.\u00a0 I was right about the date, I was wrong in my interpreting the symbol of it.<\/p>\n<p>When the man butted in, I was ready to dismiss him, not only because I was driving and had her on the earpiece, but because in my mind I had called to give her the earlier message from the woman.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t have time to hear him out, not thinking he was attached to Domino or her mother.<\/p>\n<p>He was insistent in a kind, gentle way so I stopped Domino in mid-sentence talking about her stepfather and ask if his name is Bob.\u00a0 But I was wrong again.\u00a0 <strong>Bob is not her stepfather, Bob is Domino\u2019s father.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>So <strong>while I got the symbols fine, I wasn\u2019t interpreting them correctly<\/strong>.\u00a0 Ok, so it\u2019s easier when I\u2019m not driving and easier when I\u2019ve set aside time and easier when I\u2019m not thinking of a half dozen other things, but still it happens.<\/p>\n<div id=\"s-share-buttons\" class=\"horizontal-w-c-circular s-share-w-c\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/impromptu-reading-today-connects-loved-ones\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share to Facebook\" class=\"s3-facebook hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=Impromptu reading today connects loved ones&url=http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/impromptu-reading-today-connects-loved-ones\/\" target=\"_blank\"  title=\"Share to Twitter\" class=\"s3-twitter hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/share?url=http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/impromptu-reading-today-connects-loved-ones\/\" target=\"_blank\"  title=\"Share to Google Plus\" class=\"s3-google-plus hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&url=http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/impromptu-reading-today-connects-loved-ones\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share to LinkedIn\" class=\"s3-linkedin hint--top\"><\/a><div class=\"pinit-btn-div\"><a href=\"\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/\" data-pin-do=\"buttonBookmark\"  data-pin-color=\"red\" title=\"Share to Pinterest\" class=\"s3-pinterest hint--top\"><\/a><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<script type=\"text\/javascript\" async defer src=\"\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/js\/pinit.js\"><\/script><a href=\"mailto:?Subject=Impromptu%20reading%20today%20connects%20loved%20ones&Body=Here%20is%20the%20link%20to%20the%20article:%20http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/impromptu-reading-today-connects-loved-ones\/\" title=\"Email this article\" class=\"s3-email hint--top\"><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Driving home on I-95 south, I returned a call to Domino today.\u00a0 I\u2019d gotten psychic impressions while listening to her voice mail but I didn&#8217;t want to blurt them out without knowing how she felt about that stuff.\u00a0 I also felt the message might be a little vague except for it being connected to my [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-43485","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43485","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=43485"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43485\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":43486,"href":"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43485\/revisions\/43486"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=43485"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=43485"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=43485"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
