The New Sun

The New Sun

I am so honored! Well, blessed may be a better description! The term "Soul Sister" is beautifully described in the relationship(s) I have received over the last 5 years since my Mary passed away. I lost one sister to Heaven, but have gained so many more - sisters attached to my soul!
Same love, same purpose, same outlook, same goals!
Thank you Mary Soliel for this beautiful acknowledgement in your newest book! Our sisterhood is cherished!

 

Here are a couple of pictures I've captured this year with the New Sun:



Fathers Day Gift

 
Hey aunt jeni:) I miss u and can wait to see u and I just want to say that! thank you so much for being there for me and always happy to listen to me and for being there and taking care me even when u live a lot miles away - haha- i just wanted to say that I wouldn't be the way I am if it wasn't for you and I know I'm only 16 but u have helped me through alot:) anyway u wanna hear something cool? I know I never met my grandpa combs but I woke up thinking about him which is weird because its fathers day and I never do think about him much because I never met him - I thought it was pretty awesome myself :D woo woo Kelsey 

Words can't describe how I felt when I received the text message above from my precious niece Kelsey last night - Fathers Day 2012.  My heart melted and a sense of purpose filled that hole in my heart that formed the day I lost my sister ~ Kelsey's mom. I prayed that I could be a positive influence in her children's life so many miles away.  These beautiful words confirm that my prayers have been answered.  As my SSS, Jen Dio said when I shared this message with her, "Wow. What a beautiful and amazing soul she is. She so strong and a true testament of Mary's goodness..... I know that this was all part of life's big plan.  I know it's not always easy but things like this shake us back into what we know to be true in our hearts. There's a bigger plan for us all.  And although it's not always apparent at first, it slowly starts to form as life goes on.  I'm certain that you were meant to be their Earth Angel and they both know it. They love you so much."  As I do them - As I do them I say!!

A Message from Mary

 

The other night I felt like my sweet niece Kelsey was in need of some motherly love, some reminders that she is going to make it through these trying times, that she is loved, important, incredibly special and not alone. 

So I starting sending her texts of love. 

I ended the texversation with a beautiful  picture of a cardinal with an angelic little girl nestled in it's neck and this text:

"Sweet dreams Kelsey ~ I'll be sending you some love while your sleeping.... Talk to you tomorrow - xoxo"

 Early the very next morning I got this text from my SSS (Sweet sSul Sis) Jen Dio:

"I had a dream last night that a Cardinal landed on me and nuzzled into my neck as I was laying down in some foreign place. Right away I pulled out my iPhone and took a snapshot to send to you. I remember it not being great but I didn't care. I knew you would love it anyway. So, although there isn't really a pic, I still wanted to share my dream with you because I think there's some meaning there and that I'm meant to pass on the message. The birdie was so loving and happy. It wanted me to know how peaceful it felt lying with me. :-) Sweet, huh? Love you SSS"

 I responded back:

"Omgoodness Jen!  There is meaning... I know it.  I was texting Kelsey sweet words of love & encouragement last night, I could tell she was sad. I told her I was sending her love while she slept & I sent her this picture you gave me!!!"

Jen's text back to me:

"That's it! Tell Kelsey it was meant for her. Mary was with her all night, curled up next to her. Xoxo amazing."

I did tell Kelsey! Actually I text the whole story to her. 

Kelsey was ecstatic and text this back to me:

 "I just read it .... Just got out of school and awwww  i love that story - defffinenttllyyyyyy mom!! I wish i could  meet Jen in person"

I am so thrilled for the beautiful confirmation.  I feel as if Mary was right by my side sending her daughter the love she deserves and then my wonderful friend Jen had a dream of exactly what I was sending to Kelsey.  Her need to tell me as soon as she woke up. All of this is the divine intervention of an angels love for her daughter.  Jen and I were the messengers.  How incredible is that??

See what happens when you BELIEVE?!

Hey Soul Sister

An amazing synchronicity happened today....

I sent my SSS (Sweet Soul Sister) Jen Dio a text this morning wishing her a wonderful day ~ she sent a text back telling me she was a little bleh today and needed to hear that. Don't ask me how, but I knew that she needed it. She didn't give any reason at all, I just had this feeling. I was wishing we lived closer but yet felt so grateful that we found each other. Our friendship is a true gift from above! I was in the moment of gratitude when all of a sudden the song "Hey Soul Sister" from the group Train came on. It was a moment of pure shock - I started giggling out loud to myself as I was driving home.

I didn't know who the band was and I remembered that I had the "Shazaam" app on my iPhone that tells you what song you are listening to by opening up the app and pointing it to the radio. I'd never used it before and decided to try it now. It worked! I even got a picture of it on my phone. I was so excited. This had never happened to me before. My friend, Mary Soliel wrote about this kind of synchronicity in her book "I Can See Clearly Now: How Synchronicity Illuminates our Lives". I always wondered if it would happen to me. Even Jenniffer Weigel writes about her song synchronicities in her book "I'm Spiritual Dammit!".
YAY - now I can write about it too!!!Well, it doesn't stop there..... later this evening my SSS Jen Dio sent me a text full of excitement explaining that her daughter Haylie had posted on her FB wall at 11:11 the song "Hey Soul Sister".......

What an amazing Synchronicity! Our angels are singing to us!

One extra little synch today:
I text to my niece Kelsey that I was at the dentist again and she text me "bleh :/" - I've never ever heart that word before. I know "blah", but not "bleh"! Then, shortly after, Jen sent me the text that she was feeling "bleh" this morning. Cute little synch between my SSS & my sweet niece! Love it!

Mary visits my SSS

So, I was cooking dinner in the kitchen (alone) tonight when I heard something hit the floor. I turned to find that your Cardinal card had somehow fallen off and away from my fridge when not ever, and I mean EVER, has ANYTHING ever fallen off. I have about 25 cards up there and all are securely mounted by magnets. Yours was one. Someone was clearly here saying hello. So I'm stopping in to share the sweet hello with you. Xoxoxo

This was sent to me from my SSS Jen Dio. I know it was Mary saying Hi & keeping her company while she was cooking...... Jen knew it too!

Another Little Red Bird Story

My Sweet Soul Sister Jen Dio shared one of my stories on her FB page Ladybug Whispers and received a cardinal story from her friend Cejay Scott. It's so beautiful and inspirational, I had to share it here:

"My mother used to say when I die, I'm coming back as "one of those red birds". Shortly after her death my sister kept seeing cardinal around her house and while I was out for a walk while in NY for my mom's funeral, I noticed a cardinal following me and even snapped some pix of it. I did not know about my mom's red bird statement when I did so.
After I saw pix my sis posted of a cardinal looking in her window just two days after Mom's death, my sister told me what my mom had said..."

Happy Birthday Dad

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD ~ FROM YOUR LIL JENNY

(I love this picture - Mary, Davey, Dad & me)

It's pretty amazing that my SSS Jen Dio and I share so many of the same experiences in life. One of them is the loss of our dads.

She posted this sweet poem to him on her FB page and I loved it so much that I had to share it here. It's as if I wrote this to my daddy too:

I miss you today,

as I do everyday,

but I'm okay.

I have family that loves me,

friends I adore,

and am happy once more.

I wish I could hug you.

I wish I could see you.

Know that I love you

with all that I am

and through all that I do.

~JD

Mary Confirms her Love in a Dream

My beautiful soul sister Jen Dio had a dream with my sisters Mary and Lisa in it. What a beautiful sign of Mary confirming to Jen that she is very much a part of our sisterhood and that she loves her too. We don't have to have the same blood to be sisters. Our hearts and souls are somehow connected. Friends are the sisters we are blessed to choose. It took Mary passing away to bring my Sweet Soul Sister (SSS) to us, 3000 miles away. Distance doesn't even matter with the love we have in our hearts for each other!!

"Last night I dreamt that you, Lisa, Mary, and I were all sitting around and chatting it up. We were happy and content. We were talking about life, love, and loss and comforting each other and supporting one another. The twist? Mary was on the other side but the three of us still saw her, heard her, and felt her as if she was here in the flesh. I know her spirit is with you everyday, as if her body and physical self never left the Earth. I really feel like she came to me to share this with you. She is with you, Jeni. I know you know this. ;-) She loves you very much and she's here more than ever, loving you and guiding you on your journey through life. =) I love you my SSS.........."

Synchronicity is an ever present reality for those who have eyes to see.
~Carl Jung

Synchronistic events offer us perceptions that may be useful in our psychological and spiritual growth and may reveal to us, through intuitive knowledge, that our lives have meaning.

~ Jean Shinoda Bolen

Synchronicity is choreographed by a great, pervasive intelligence that lies at the heart of nature, and is manifest in each of us through what we call the soul.
~ Deepak Chopra

I am open to the guidance of synchronicity, and do not let expectations hinder my path.

~ Dalai Lama

The Universe is Listening

OCTOBER 27, 2011

On 15th street, at 5:38, I was headed to the subway to take me to Penn station.  I asked the universe in advance to allow me to make the 5:53 LIRR train home!  - As  I was racing down the stairs to catch the subway, I saw  the express A train to Penn at the track and it was packed with people hanging out ~  but the doors were still open -I asked the universe in advance while at the top of the stairs,  to allow me to make that subway - I made it to the bottom of the stairs and WENT for it - i annoyed the other passengers but didn't care - I squeezed my little self with 2 bags in tow onto the sardine packed train!

It worked it worked!! I'm on train :) 5:53

I captured 4:44 on the clock then 444 on a license plate at train station & again at home.

 Then a new FB friend posted a cardinal inspiration on LRB's page.

My SSS, Jen D, experienced an answer from thanking the Universe in advance too!  As well as the 444 # sequence AND cardinal signs  (see the picture of a cardinal in this picture).

Jen's Universe:

Thanking the universe in advance freakin worked!!!!!! Awesome blossom!! Xoxoxoox

There's NEVER parking avail at this time at work. But I changed my thoughts and found an awesome one right away :-) and saw other people that looked like they had been circling forever. Hee hee

All this on our dear angel friend Mary Soliels Bday!

We ended our day full of love from above!  So fun - a day to go down in history!  Oh,  of course, I happened to coincidentally catch 11:11 before I went to bed, as I was strolling through my FB pictures friends have posted on my Little Red Birds wall! Cardinals Cardinals everywhere!

I know my sister Mary has something to do with all of these signs, synchronicities and connections!

My Healing Journey: Whispers of a Ladybug: Ladybug Presence

My dearest friend, I now call my Sweet Soul Sister (SSS) wrote this most beautiful blog post of love, ladybugs, synchronicities and connections.  I am honored and blessed to be a part of it!  

My Healing Journey: Whispers of a Ladybug: Ladybug Presence: It was a little over a year ago that I met John, one of my father's dearest friends. Since our connection, I have felt my father's soul come...

"Signs often carry specific personal meaning to individuals. If a person has an affinity for dragonflies, the dragonflies themselves may become an important sign for that person, whereas they have little or no meaning to another. I automatically know that certain signs, when they appear, are signaling something good for me, such as a synchronistic sighting of a hawk, a roadrunner, or a magpie. I have actually seen ladybugs inside the house in the winter, which I consider a very positive sign. Our angels know exactly what our favorite signs are." ~ Mary Soliel, Author of "I Can See Clearly Now"

Soul Sisters

Mary and I were so close I've always felt like we shared the same soul. Since the day Mary left this earth, she has showered me with gifts of love from above. Most recently, she brought me together with Jen Dio, my soul sister here on earth! The connections, Synchronicites and alikenesses we share are unbelievable. She's been such a joy in my life. One day soon I'll find the words to share. (Here's a link to Jen's beautiful blog post describing our friendship: Synchronistic Soul Sisters)

I sent Jen this little card I had of Mary & Me and she miraculously had this tiny little frame sitting on her nightstand since her trip to NY in May. It's been sitting there pictureless - waiting for the right picture, the right size. Then, as if by magic, when she received this little card, she saw how perfect it fit, just like Cinderella's shoe. We are connected, the three of us! Mary with her two Jenny's! She is both of our angels now!

Mary always wanted to visit me in NY and never had the chance, but here it is, Jenny put us together in NY!

"Take note of all the synchronistic happenings and coincidences that occur on the day. Appreciate the Divine details that are woven into every moment of your life."
~Caroline Myss

Dragonflies Appear

As is by magic, the dragonfly has become my new little shadow.... following me in NYC, arriving to greet me as I arrive up from the subway and again at the end of the day - it will greet me at my car in the early evening at the train station.

Now they are everywhere around me in my apartment community and I've never seen them in the 10 years I've lived here. Magically they appeared around the same time as my new friend Jen - my Ladybug Whispers soul sister ! Hmmmm ~ gotta wonder if theres a connection! They have appeared in her life too all the way across the USA in California :)
