The Signs Are Speaking: Spirit Is Always Around Us

Not all messages from the universe are loud. They don’t always arrive with flashing lights or thunderous declarations. Sometimes, they come gently—through a song on the radio, a flicker of motion in the corner of your eye, a sudden chill that brushes your skin when no windows are open. Or, sometimes, they come as numbers. Over and over again.

For me, it’s been 2s.

I see them everywhere lately—on license plates, receipts, clocks, video views. 2:22, 22 cents, 222 likes. At first, I thought it was coincidence. But after a while, it became impossible to ignore. Not because I was searching for them, but because they were finding me. Again and again. Whispering. Nudging. Reminding.

I’ve come to understand what they mean for me. Twos represent connection. They speak of balance, of duality, of sacred partnership. But more than that, they remind me of someone I love deeply—my grandmother, who passed away this past February.

Losing her broke something open in me. She was more than a grandmother—she was a guide, a soft place, a knowing presence that never faltered. I miss her in the kind of way that hits unexpectedly. And yet, even in the heaviness of her absence, I’ve felt her. Constantly. In the 2s. In the timing. In the warmth that sometimes wraps around me when I’m alone.

She and her husband, Adam—my grandfather—had a love so profound, it left ripples in this world. I know she’s still with him. I feel it in the quiet. I see it in the way he looks up when a breeze moves through the trees, like he’s listening. Because he is.

The 2s remind me that love doesn’t leave. That the bonds we form, the soul-deep connections, the sacred partnerships—they stretch beyond this lifetime. Beyond the veil. When I see 2:22, I hear her say, “You’re not alone.” When I wake at 2:22 AM for the third night in a row, I know she’s near. I know she’s guiding. I know she’s with me.

Have you ever had a moment like that? A whisper of someone you love, long after they’ve passed? A familiar scent where there should be none? A song, a feather, a number that repeats itself into meaning? These aren’t just signs. They’re conversations. Gentle check-ins. Love notes written in the language of Spirit.

At Awaken Your Universe, we believe the veil is thin—and getting thinner. We believe our lives are filled with sacred echoes, and if we just pause, just breathe, just listen, we can hear what we were never taught to understand: that we are never alone. We are never abandoned. And we are always, always loved.

So if you've been seeing signs—numbers, names, symbols, animals—don’t dismiss them. Ask yourself: who is trying to reach me? What do they want me to know? What comfort, what guidance, what truth is waiting for me in this moment?

The universe doesn’t waste energy. If it’s repeating, it’s for a reason.

My reason wears 2s. And smells like comfort. And feels like home. She is with me. She is with Adam. And maybe, just maybe, whoever you’ve been missing is with you too.

Next time the numbers appear, pause. Smile. Whisper back.

They can hear you.
