"I'm Marilyn Monroe?"

A strong sensation along with the potent thought “I'm Marilyn Monroe!!!!” interrupted me while driving south on the 405 freeway on my way to Encinitas last October. As I continued maneuvering through light traffic, my awareness shifted from the music playing, the thoughts of anticipation for this trip and the other things I had previously been contemplating while driving. Instead, I focused on figuring out the Marilyn Monroe situation.

“I’m Marilyn Monroe? Like her reincarnated?” I asked in my head to the sensation coming from a different realm.

Somehow, that did not feel correct. It did not resonate.

I continued driving and inquiring. “Okay, I’m not her reincarnated so uh...I’m Marilyn Monroe as in blonde, buxom and not skinny winnie?” I asked. With no definitive response, I settled into my physique was similar. I was Marilyn Monroe-ish.

By the time I reached San Juan Capistrano the Marilyn Monroe sensation was gone.

I arrived at the Airbnb in Encinitas less than an hour later. With my car parked on the street, I walked up the driveway to the gate, entered the code, found the hidden key, and unlocked the front door. Another guest, not the host, met me when I entered. She had been there before and graciously showed me to the room where I would be staying for the next ten days. On the wall of my room were two large, framed photos of Marilyn Monroe!!!!!

The Marilyn Monroe sensation ended up being the first synchronicity of many on my trip that compelled me to move from Santa Barbara to Encinitas in December 2025. And, it has been absolutely amazing!
