Mary to Cherish - EVERYWHERE

Mary was cherished on this very special day yesterday! 3-22-14....Since she's been gone,  so much magic has happened, which has confirmed my faith (and many others), which has given me more purpose and meaning to my life than I can explain.  We all decided to let lavender balloons go in memory of her.........

 

 

Jen Dio and her beautiful family in CALIFORNIA

 ALEXA and her precious sons in FLORIDA

 

Our lil brother DAVID & his loving wife AMANDA in TEXAS

 

Jana - Mary's college roommate and sister at heart!  TEXAS

 



I let balloons go at 11:11 yesterday -

a time that started showing itself to me all the time after Mary left. 

NEW YORK

 Our angelic and beautiful baby sister LISA and

niece Madison joined in the celebration from TEXAS too.

 Mama had a tough time finding lavender balloons at the beach but she did some traveling and found them across the island on the ferry - she and Roxy let them go at Mary's favorite place - the beach!  Love the lavender nail polish the kids painted moms nails - to honor Mary this day! TEXAS

Awwww - Melissa McGee!  Mary's college sister!  She shared this picture of her and Mary at her wedding - they both look so radiant and sparkle with love.  Their friend Jesse in LA shared Mary love yesterday too!  TEXAS

 

Ker Bear - Mary's BFF since Jr. high.... Love the special tribute and all her love too!  Can't wait to get the picture of your toes Kerri  - hehe - I'm going to do mine now!  FLORIDA

 

 

I had to share this Memory to Cherish here - my lil sis with so much spirit.  I was so lucky to have you for as long as I did.  You will forever be in my heart and life!  Thank you for all you did and all you are doing even from the heavens above.  Forever and ever sis!!!!

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!!

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!
