Those of you who follow the blog probably know by now that I have a thing for the number 11. It’s not just that I was born on the 11th. I have always felt a spiritual connection to the number. And if I get more than one 11 at a time (like 11:11 on the clock), I literally get goosebumps. Still.
And I want to be clear that I don’t sit around waiting for 11:11 to appear. I’m not consciously watching for 11 when I’m out and about. It’s when it takes me by surprise that I feel the little hairs on the back of my neck stand up.
Years ago, I read in Doreen Virtue’s book, Angel Numbers 101
, that when the number 11 recurs in your life, it means you’re receiving the following message from angels in your midst: “Stay positive! Your thoughts are materializing rapidly, so you want to ensure positive outcomes by focusing only on the good within yourself, others and this situation.”
Even if that sounds like crazy talk to you, it made an impact on me, influencing me to take note of my thoughts whenever the number 11 appears out of the blue for me. It feels, to me, like a reminder that I’m not alone and that my thoughts create my reality.
Yesterday morning, I was driving my son home from preschool. We came to a stoplight and, while sitting there, I started singing “If you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands!” I turned around to sing directly to him as he giggled and hummed along. When I turned back to check on the traffic light, my eyes were drawn to the odometer: 11110.
It felt like angels were tapping me on the shoulder, letting me know all those happy thoughts and giggles and glee were being hand-delivered to the powers that be, reminding me to remain in that state of happiness in order to attract even more.
“If you’re happy and you know it,
then you really ought to show it,
if you’re happy and you know it,
clap your hands (or leave a comment!)!”




























OH Liv! I love this! I am totally with you on this.
I pay attention to the # 7. Several years ago, I basically had the same thing happen to me. I was getting ready to leave a resturant & as i looked down at the odemeter, there were a string of 7's. I knew an angel had gotten my attention to look.
I am with you too!
I'm jealous you only have 11,110 miles on your vehicle
My birthday is November 11 so this year it will be a special one –
11-11-11!! I always see these numbers, too. And also, my word for the New Year is "happiness".
I think this post is just for me!
Thank you!
I am absolutely in agreement with you on this. The number 11 keeps popping up for me.
My mother's birthday is the 11th! Mine number is 7.
The date the 22nd (of your post)- is 2 elevens!
Someone once told me that the #11
signified "second chances" and
"restoration" in spiritual language
….I've taken it to heart and this
year I am throwing open wide my
heart to all of the dreams I let go
of through the years.
Or maybe didn't even dare to dream.
I believe in new beginnings.
11's inspire me grinning, too:)

I had a wonderful email about "11" I don't see it now, but should I see if it is saved in a folder, I will share it with you.

Found it
This year we will experience 4 unusual dates…1/1/11, 1/11/11, 11/1/11 & 11/11/11. Now go figure this out…Take the last 2 numbers of your birth year & the age you will be on your birthday this year…add them together & it will equal 111
<><
That is soooo wild Christie – thanks for sharing!!!
Out on a run yesterday I said a little prayer about something. Just as I finished so did the song and the radio personality announced the time-11am! I am so happy I "bumbled" onto your blog! Thank you!
