Here's a quick-n-dirty recap:
Signs asked for: 30
Signs appeared: 16 ...this blows my mind. It didn't feel like that many showed up.
Here's a ranking of what my 17 seconds was on, in order of frequency:
- Travel
- Singing
- Acting
- Friendship
- Writing
- Alone Time
- Romantic Partnership
- Teaching
- Collaboration
- Performing
- Flying
- Giving and Receiving
- Tangible Results
- Knowing What I Want
Of course, the whole point of the Experiment was to find out what I want. And I still don't know what that is.
I got some input from friends on what they think I should do (move back to LA and act; marry a cowboy and move to Eastern Washington; work in a resort community); I had a few dreams during this experiment (driving around the country for 6 months to write a book); mostly, though, I remembered to be grateful and to do something I love every day.
I don't know what's going to happen next. I don't have a clear picture or any perspective on what we've just done. I can tell you that, tantrums aside, I've loved it.
And right now, that's enough.

YAY! Perhaps then you got what you wanted out of the experiment - you received happiness in moments of uncertainty.
If you, while still not knowing what you want, can be happy, grateful, and healthy...well, then, that's what 99% of the rest of the planet is trying to do.
I'd say goal achieved, my dear.
I LOVE this experiment. I often engage in this sort of adventure, but I call it a "project" and don't tell anyone about it. Bravo for sharing! I especially love the part about asking for a sign and finding that more than half the time it appeared. I spend most of my life completely unaware of how much of what I've asked for has already been given.
p.s. It would be the highlight of my month to come see you do a reading and booksigning at Book Soup. Which is to say that I think you should include writing a book in your future plans since you're already one of my favorite authors :)
