Mary visits

Fun feather in my path early this morning..   I hadn't had one in a while.  I was thinking this earlier this week and then this happens. 

Then I run into a train friend I hadn't seen in a long time, she took the subway with me and even paid my fare so I didn't have to wait in line.  Then, I ran into her Again at the end of the day and rode the LIRR with her.  Such good company. Made for a nice way to end my day.  She has to order dinner for her family so I sat and listened as she called her restaurant of choice... "Mary's"!   Lol yes, Mary's in Farmingdale, NY.  Most of the times I wouldn't think much if it, but for me, it was another sign from my Mary.  She's all around me and loving that I'm catching her signs. I know she is.

Well, one more .... I get home and found this special gift in the mail box.   A Luca and Dani cardinal bracelet from my friends in Florida!!!! 

Love From Above

A very special angel was added to my tree last night.  As a token to remember our fun family paint night at the Creative Zone, I bought the last seven Angel ornaments from Macy's with the saying "An Angels work is never done"..... As I got home and starting assigning each angel to my family, there was one different one, one that was meant just for me I believe..... It said, "Sister, sending you hugs"!  After realizing that this was an incredible sign from my Mary, I got chills all over and then the warmest feeling of love came over me, as if I was being hugged!  How lucky I am to feel my sister's love so strong, showing me she's not really gone ❤️👼🤗! #lovefromabove #neveralone #signsfromabove  #signs #angels

Angel Mary

AMAZING SYNCH - I just got this in my Little Red Bird FB email today:

Hi Jeni,

Can't believe this.. I was just reading your blog before and loving all of the beautiful stories about Mary and then I go on FB and see your posts. I have goose bumps. I don't know if I ever mentioned to you about going to the psychic or not but I told my friend that I would really be convinced if she mentioned my red bird which she did not, but she did keep asking me about a Mary from the other side and she said there was a direct line of light between me and her and wanted to know if I had a sister that had passed etc... a young woman. I didn't get it at the time, but I do now. I honestly believe that Mary led me to your LRB site and also to you. I believe that she is one of my angels as well. I thank God for our connection Jeni ... it has meant more to me than you could ever know.

Thank you my friend, and I too will send up a balloon for Mary tomorrow.

What  a magical day today... the day before my Mary's anniversary of her departure to heaven!  She is not really gone at all - she is bringing so many friends to my life  - soul sisters.  Together we will connect and heal and love and inspire!  

Mary visits Steffanie

Shortly after posting on FB the magical experience with the feathers and cardinal wind chime, I received this comment from the lil sis of Mary's BFF Kerri:

Steffanie wrote:
 - Craziest thing happened which I haven't even shared with my sister yet Jenny. I've seen and heard about Ker and your experiences with the Cardinal and I finally had mine this morning. I just woke and went on my back porch. The sun is barely lit and I saw a Cardinal in a tree. I laughed and breathed to myself "Hi Mary, miss you.."... and I swear it flew straight toward me on my screen and fluttered in front of me. Wish I could have captured it in a picture. It was really amazing.

She was not only my sister's best friend, but she was part of who I grew up with since I was 5 years old. I remember the last time I saw her at Joshua's funeral... and she hugged me and said to remember that through anything, I am her other baby sister and she will always be there for me. I still struggle and miss those bright eyes and beautiful smile. Love you Jenny and Lisa Dill Mendez. Tagging my sissy too. Kerri Brown Timothy. I love you all and Mary showed me this morning in her own silly and crazy "Mary" way, that she is at peace and happy. I'm in awe."

Mary Visits

Signs are always here! Signs that our loved ones are near. When we receive them, they are such a gift.  We just KNOW....

I was texting with Courtney, my sister in law, asking her if she had any prom like dresses for Kelsey.  She was going to the Jr. Prom - didn't want to buy a dress really unless she had to.  She said next year was the big one - her Sr. Prom of course. So I went to the "cool fashion source" in our family ~ Courtney!   Courtney happened to have a few to part with that Kelsey could try! 

As I was texting Courtney how special it would be for Kelsey to wear something of ours Courtney excitedly interupted with this text:

 "Omg - a girl on the radio just said, HI I'm Mary!"

 

 LOL - Mary's energy was always to strong when she was excited - I  had a feeling when she passed on that her energy would come through!  I know Mary was here - excited for her lil Kelsey and excited that Courtney and I were helping her.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   

Well her visit doesn't stop there on this day......

 

My hubby Chad (Courtney's brother) texts me soon after:

 

"Kelsey's pic flew off the wall right in front of me literally as I was looking at."

 

He said it just randomly out of the blue did a somersault right before his eyes and landing on the floor without breaking.  WOW!

 

Funny thing lately..... we've had a family friend come over lately to watch Honey dog when we go out and a couple times we've come back to him saying, "There is a spirit in here messing with me!  I come back from walking the dog to the TV moved......" (the TV is on a swivel stand).  

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?!

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!

My Angels

I identified my angels this morning and what each one gives me in my life. 

As I was driving to the train yesterday morning, this "knowing" just came to me! It was right after my morning Serenity Prayer  which I say in my head at least a  few times. This morning I decided to speak to Mary ~ I told her how much I love her and acknowledge that she is with me. I told her I know we will never be apart and that "knowing" this was cool - I thought about my poem I wrote from heart to her the other morning. The one line: "I am who I am because of you" and it was then that I identified my angels. I believe it was Mary, my vibrant beautiful angel who whispered this to me!

Mary - love & faith 

  DAD - color & writing 

  Grandma Combs - cardinals & sunflowers 

  Uncle Ricky - crazy fun signs 

  Grandpa Walters - business direction 

  Mama K - compassion 

I know these aren't all of my angels, but only the ones I physically knew and loved.  I'm so filled with Spirit(s)!!!! So warm, loving and wise - it's as if I'm a conduit for their love and wisdom......

 I received these signs that same day in the streets of NYC 
~ 222 ~ angels are with me!

  Sharing with the world in hopes to be a power of example!

Beachin Meditation

I know, this is a funny picture .... stop laughing okay?

It's 1979 for goodness sake!

Last night during my mediation I saw the beach and the waves and kids playing. It was very peaceful. The energy was fun. Then I saw this picture "in action". Mary, in the cute blue swimsuit, was running towards me in my vision and laughing while Davey & I (yes, the skinny string bean in the middle) were right behind her ~ running with her. It was a fun sight in my meditation and I knew it seemed familiar. I dug in my closet to my Bins full of Memories (pictures, pictures & more pictures)!! I found it! I knew I'd seen these bathing suits and this scene before.

Having this vision made me feel like I was right there - kind of like a ghost of beachtime past!

What a treat to have Mary visit me in meditation.....

Open House

Do you ever feel like things were put in your path for a reason?

The cardinal, the cardinal, the cardinal!! What can I say? It's there in my face, pretty obvious what it is symbolizing. How could it not be?! Showing up the day she passed & then in Texas racing us to the funeral home on a busy road? Everywhere since then......

• Last weekend we had a little red visitor as we ate hot dogs from the truck on the side of the road. I was able to capture that one in a picture.

• Yesterday Chad & I were driving down a major Parkway here on Long Island and a large feathery flash of red flew in front of us to the trees on the right. We both were a bit stunned and I said, "Wow ~Did you see that? Was that really a cardinal on this busy Parkway?" YUP....

"OPEN HOUSE"

Chad & I were headed to look at our first house for sale yesterday afternoon.

We are officially househunting now.

The first house we were to look at was an open house. We made it there just before it ended. There in this empty house was the real estate broker. Dressed casually in black leggings and a purple hooded zipdown sweater with faux fur. She was wearing flipflops showing off a much needed pedicure but could see why she hadn't, she had scrapes all over her toes. She had brown straight hair with blonde highlights. Very tan. She must not have weighed over 100 pounds. She had a box of 50 Dunkin donut munchkins on the kitchen counter with only MY favorite - glazed!! She had a big smile and an energy that was just sweet as can be. She chattered on about excusing her toes - she was in the bahamas and had a run-in with the rocks on some rapids. She then went on to say she was a cat rescuer and had two german shephards. She was funny! I liked her. Hmmmm, what was it about her that reminded me of someone? She was someone I could easily be friends with! We had a lot in common. I couldn't believe it when she told me her age - she looked so young. She's the exact age as me. I looked out the window at the backyard and saw a cardinal, blue jay and the little dark gray bird that is always with my cardinal at my home. I said out loud, "Wow, a cardinal!". The real estate broker said "Yeah, my mom is a big fan of the cardinal, she thinks it's sent to her by her mom"....I turned around and looked at her and said, "That's true. They have been in my life since my sister Mary died in 2008". The real estate broker smiled and said, "My name is Mary too".

Isn't that cool? I knew Mary was with me, I just knew!

Chain of Synchronicity's

This post is about a chain of occurrences that happened in April 2008 and then picked back up and finished in November 2008. Back when this happened, I didn't realize the importance it would have in my life today.

Synchronicity... that is what this chain of events is called.

I want to ~ have to share it here! I need to log it and this is the place I decided it should be:

One Friday evening in the early month of April 2008 (just a month since Mary had left us), I was standing outside in the breezeway of where I live. I had tears in my eyes flowing from my heart. My mind was all over the place. I couldn't believe my sister was gone. I had heard of this famous psychic/medium on Long island named George Anderson. I found his website and saw that his wait was almost a year and he was more like $1200. Holey Moley. First of all I had never been to a medium before nor had any desire to until now but $1200 - No way. Well at least not anytime soon I thought. Then, all of a sudden as I ended that thought, I felt my sisters presence - It was strong. It was pretty incredible. Especially when she started talking because I heard how she actually spoke. Her tone, her sound, to a tee! She said to me, "Jeni, don't you dare spend your hard earned money like that. You work too hard. I will come to you. I promise!!" Wow right?

The next day we went to my in-laws for a celebration of some sorts. I mentioned to Nancy, my friend and family, the price of George Anderson. She brought me a book from her shelf called, "Another Door Opens" by Jeffrey Wands. She said he was in Port Washington, NY and is less than $200 for a reading. If I wanted to go, she and my father in law would pay. That was sweet :)! I didn't make any kind of decision. "I don't go to psychics" and I wasn't about to waste money on just anyone. They had to be good, reputible. Anyway, I start reading the book when I got home and enjoyed it. That night I decided that I really liked how Jeffrey Wands wrote and what he wrote about. It was comforting. As I closed the book, I made the decision I would look up his number and call him. As I decided this, one of his business cards fell out of the book. Really! Wow right?
I called the next morning and left a message. Two days later AS his office is calling me back, A picture of Mary is being text messaged to me from her husband Brian. It was the last picture ever taken of her. Just days before she died. The phone call from the psychic and Mary's picture were coming in at the same time. Amazing right?

Sooooo, I made the appointment for the soonest I could. November 2008. Chad and I decided to do it together :). As we are driving to the appointment about 40 minutes away from where we live, we turned down two wrong streets. First we turned down Francis Blvd when we shouldn't have, then we turned onto Maryland Ave. These wrong turns weren't so bad. We got there in time! The reading was interesting. He was good. We left there with some intrigue and some comfort. The amazing thing was that the two main souls that came through were his Granny Francis and my sister Mary. Remember, the two wrong streets we turned on the way there were Francis Blvd & Maryland ave. Pretty Cool right?

Well, this is just the one of many synchronicities I've been able to recognize. I am just thrilled for all these confirmations that I AM NOT ALONE! I AM HEARD! I believe that our loved ones don't leave us..... How comforting is that?

Mary made a visit to Jim and he mentioned it in his comments to me. Mary likes Jim :)!.

Here is Jim's comment he closed the post with:

Jeni, thank you so much. Your sister gave me an image of herself with folded angel wings on her. She said she needs to work on removing the "devil horns" before she can open them, and then broke out into a great laugh.

Words from Jim Fargiano

Every night I read Jim Fargianos "Spoken Words of Spirit" he posts for that day. But first I read his closing comments on the day before, thanking everyone for their comments and sometimes adding a personal note. It is so nice how he does that.

Well, his comment from the post the day before (the one I posted on my blog yesterday - 11/4/10), was directed at me! What a special gift - these words to me:

Jim Fargiano said...
Thank you Jeni. I think I have a pretty good idea about Mary. In her words, she is "cute, sassy, sexy and a lot of funny."
