“Signs are everywhere.” It is a simple line we have all heard from one source or another at some point in our lives. Perhaps it is the inclination to make meaning out of everything we can but life does seem to be full of signs. There are the literal ones we see on billboards and roadways. We have signs on shelves of products in a store as well as above the aisles. There are signs on doors and buildings. We literally cannot get away from them. Some are signs of images or words or both. We also have internal signs generated by thoughts, feelings, and body processes. A funny and rather quirky element of life is how internal signs can sometimes show up externally. Signs inform, warn, and provide insight. Signs guide us, protect us, make us laugh, and help us make sense of the world. As we learn to connect to our own inner knowing we see how it too can guide, protect, inform, and help us make sense of our lives. Signs generate signals as we place meaning on them.  Turning to our breath and our heart moment by moment helps us to slow down and identify the internal signs which speak to who we are being. Our awareness of the signs from our heart, mind, and body speak invites us to get to know what meaning we are placing on the experiences of our lives.
