What got my attention all those years ago to stop me in my tracks!

 

It began with huntsman spiders (also known as our Aussie huge, 'creepiest' and hairy spider ) appearing inside or outside my car window 7 times in 10 days. By the 4th spider I started to wonder if something else could be ‘causing’ these spiders to persevere and show up inside my car. I wondered if they were trying to tell me something, but then I ignored it and didn’t think again. When the 5th spider showed up I somehow knew to check in with myself and see how I was feeling when it appeared. I felt nervous, I felt apprehensive, I felt concerned. As if I knew the spider was trying to warn me of something.

 

Later that day, there was an argument I was involved in that really upset me, and for some reason I instantly thought of the huntsman. Because this was still so unbelievable to me, I thought it must be a coincidence and went on my merry way. 2 days later a 6th huntsman appeared inside my car window. I instantly checked in with myself and felt the same as the last time, nervous, apprehensive and concerned. I remember thinking to myself, ‘I wonder if another argument is about to play out’. Well guess what happened? The following day, another difficult conversation occurred and strangely I wasn’t triggered or upset as much as the last time, I really felt I had been given a heads up it was coming so I felt prepared.
