Who knows where Angels tread or life changers dwell?
Taylor Hicks said he met a life changer in the middle of the night in an eerie Savannah home in 2002.
It is not the event; it is what we make of it.
Taylor told his haunting story on Celebrity Ghost Stories on Biography Channel Saturday night. He said the strange disturbance in the middle of the night was a life changer for him, and the Lady in the yellow dress was a Guardian Angel looking over him sending a message to start making life changes.
It was because he made it so.
Gary Zukav says in “Seat of the Soul,” “Feel not what your mind tells you, but what your heart tells you. Rather than serve the fake gods of your mind, serve your heart.”
Serve your heart.
Taylor knew where his heart was. It was “music or the highway.”
It may be that the haunting is not important but what he did with what came to him is.
What do we do with what life gives us? Good or bad.
What do we do with negativity? Does it consume us?
What do we do with joy? Do we revel in it or let something creep in to destroy it?
Do we serve our mind, or do we serve our heart?
Questions.
It was three years after Taylor’s meeting with the Lady in the yellow dress that he auditioned for American Idol. Life changers don’t happen overnight. They may start overnight, as this one did in Savannah.
They have to start somewhere, sometime. WE have to start them.
WE make life changers…just as Taylor Hicks decided to.
After the fretful night, that New Year’s morning Taylor made a choice…
“And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.”
~~Robert Frost
And that has made all the difference.
We choose our roads every day.
Where will your road take you today?
It makes a difference.
The Lady in the yellow dress is real if we make her so.
Just musings here on a Sunday morning…

I like your musings :-)
I believe a person has to be open spiritually to move forward in a positive way.
I think what changed Taylor was his need to change and his knowledge that without a change in direction he was destine to remain on a path to obscurity.
The "lady in the yellow dress" is symbolic of his subconscious telling him to leave his old thinking behind and travel in new directions.
The color yellow stimulates mental processes and stimulates the nervous system as well as being an "attention getter". That lady certainly got Taylor's attention.

Strange how we have things happen in our lives that in an instant can change our destiny. Well put for your Sunday musings!
What struck me was not the "reality" or not of the haunting, but how it affected Taylor. It was real to him if he made changes because of it. That is what life is about...using whatever comes our way to move on in the best way for us.
Thanks for your thoughts! :)

Interesting thoughts, indeed! I was very impressed that Taylor was intuitive enough to recognize the "life changer". All too often, we are running in the fast lane and we miss the signs.
Gary Zukav's quote: "Serve your heart" is so true. If we don't follow our hearts or gut instincts, we can really miss the boat.
Sincere thanks for posting the video since I did not receive the channel that the show was broadcast on.
Kudos to Taylor for his honesty and willingness to share his surreal experience.
You pose some very valid questions. I never know where the "road" is going to take me on any given day but I hope that I make the right choices.
Taylor definitely followed the right road and I am very glad that he did!
Thanks for sharing your musings!
