EPILOGUE

The truth is: signs are everywhere. What we really want to know is how to recognize the signs when they show up and how to discern, “Which signs are meant for me?” If you’re paying attention and are willing to trust your inner knowing, intuition will lead you to the sign that’s “got your name on it.” For example, mothers just know which baby is theirs in a hospital nursery filled with newborns. The little wrist tags on the infants are just there for the doctors, the nurses, and the dads. Signs are like that too. You’ll just know which sign is yours as long as you’re willing to keep your heart and your eyes open.

OPEN For Business

I never met my mother’s father—he died when my mother was young—but there was no shortage of stories detailing his varied adventures, and it was through them that I got to know him very well. One story always so intrigued me that I made my grandmother retell it, again and again. It became my personal fairytale.

Once upon a time (around 1919), there was a kindly family man who was an up-and-coming graphic artist for a burgeoning studio in the Midwest. This man (oh, yes, who happened to be my grandfather) had glorious plans for his future, which included both unlimited freedom to express himself as an artist and a healthy bank account. When his company hired a charismatic young apprentice whom he felt shared his drive, he was both delighted and intrigued. Although ten years his senior, my grandfather quickly became friends with this amiable young man. They could often be found after hours, in one of the empty offices, engaged in animated conversation with each other, discussing the details of some wildly creative new project. The new artist had a no-holds-barred vision for his future, and truly believed he could achieve any goal he set for himself.
