OK, so first I go to a really eye opening exhibit at The Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, on Cleopatra. I buy a poster, to hang in my classroom, because it is really eye catching, and I need some new "stuff" to look at in my work environment. It has a huge eye on it. I start to think of some fun activities to go with the poster. Perhaps I could put a slogan next to it along the lines of "Eyes on your OWN work," or perhaps do an art activity "SEE what I did this summer?" with the kids drawing an image in an iris of an eye.

Then, I go to Walmart, today, and happen to find myself throwing The Host by Stephenie Meyer in the cart. It is the Sci Fi book written by the Twilight author. It has been out for a while, in paperback even. I have wanted to read it since I finished with the Twilight series, but, for whatever reason, just haven't.

Well, as I sat on the porch, tonight, getting into it, I realized, it too has the big EYE!

WHAT is the universe trying to tell me?!
