A Little Red Feather

It was the day after Thanksgiving, which is also my sister Lisa's birthday this year and I had my mom in town from Texas..... I was thinking how wonderful it would be if we had Mary here with us ~ all of us girls together.   I happen to look down at ground at just the right time, to find this beautiful little red feather - what a sign!  A little cardinal feather for us to see - Mary was whispering "I'm never far sis - can't you see?!"  She is with us that is for certain. She is always sending me little surprises. Just like the surprise of the cardinals appearance on the day Mary died,  they have amazingly never left my side.  Almost 5 years now.  This is the first feather I've found...... a beautiful sign at a perfect time.

Well, the surprise doesn't end with the find.

I sent this picture to my friend Sweet Sue Dabruzzi to share my excitement in this sign and she sent this text back to me:


Ok wanna hear something weird?  I read ur text right after u sent it, and just picked my phone back up to reply...well somehow that feather became my screensaver and the time on the phone was 4:44! WTH?   Incredible - and how often do u come across cardinal feathers?  Never!  u should frame it....

Mary and Sue

I have a dear friend "Sweet Silly Sue" - my other SSS! Sue has been practicing Reiki and is discovering a gift in it. My Mary has visited her a few times and makes Sue laugh.   How fun to see my sister visiting my friends.   Although, I have a feeling Mary was friends with some of them first.  I believe she has been connecting me to a few.   Sue being one of them.

Sue just sent me this picture and these words that describe her most recent vision from our Mary:

Remember when Mary "popped" in and shared an image of a little girl laying down in the tall green grass, one hand under her chin, the other hand touching the blades ~ this picture reminds me so much of the "mood" she was trying to relate.....in fact, it is a complete replica.....just had to share with you xoxox Sue

Random Red Bird

On Thursday, one week before Mary's 4 year anniversary, I received a random post on Little Red Bird's FB wall from Necole Stephens, Spirit Medium and Reiki Master. She said that in a recent reading, a Little Red Bird appeared to her and referenced my FB Page (Little Red Bird Chirps), I first read it and thought, "Hmmm, that's cool... I wonder if that's Mary." I thought some more and then some more and I realized that it had to be her. Mary has had a way with finding channels to get messages through to me in the past. Last year on her anniversary a long lost friend of mine from high school reached out through FB and told me she had been tuning into her mediumship skills and had a visit she believes was for me. Yellow flowers were being shown to her and to contact me. Funny thing ~ I had bought some yellow flowers earlier in honor of Mary's day, along with a Lavender colored flower and candles. My friend ended up doing a reading for me that evening over FB IM and Mary came through. Her message was authentic - as if she was right there. She confirmed the large lavender flower, she saw my husband cooking sausages on patio, made comments about my sister in law Brittany being there (she kept saying "Hun" to my friend ~ Brittany calls everyone "hun"), she spoke about my brother and things only we would know.....

Also, about a year and a half ago she came through to my sister in law's reading with psychic/medium Jim Fargiano. Jim Fargiano told my sister in law that Mary came through to him days before she showed up and the morning of the visit a cardinal almost hit him in his head. He said she had so much energy and was such a treat to have visit.

The next day, I commented back to Necole on her post on LRB's wall, telling her that it was probably my sister. Necole wrote back and said that as I was sending her that comment, she was actually doing a reading for a MARY!! Wow.....

How wonderful this is! I was telling my new friend Sue all about it and she couldn't believe it..... when her best friend Cathy had passed away a year ago, Sue had come across Necole's website while searching for some answers in her grief. She remembered Necole because her name is the same as her daughters and Stephen is the name of Sue's father in law who passed. Necole's son passed away from the same rare syndrome that Sue's sisters father in law passed away from. Sue was just so amazed at all these connections on this day too. Earlier in the morning a ladybug appeared in her bathroom and scents of her best friend Cathy were all around her. My signs are connecting with Sue's signs ~ the ladybug is connecting Sue to my SSS Jen Dio now too! We believe our loved ones above are together now and playing with all.

"Perhaps they are not the stars, but rather openings in Heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy." ~Necole Stephens

Angels from Above

I believe every single person we meet and every single event happens for a reason. What we do with the friendships, interactions and events is up to us. Recognizing our angels and thanking them for their guidance and help will increase our gifts. I believe this based on my own life experience.

The people that have come into my life are just amazing. I'd like to dedicate this post to my new friend Sue D. Found through Little Red Bird. Sue found Little Red Bird Chirping on Medium George Anderson's facebook page. She was guided to my blog here and started reading. On 1/16/12 Sue reached out:

Hi Jen,

I happened to come across your blog by finding Little Red Bird on George Anderson's FB page. I absolutely love what you have done for your sister...you can just feel all the love you had for your sister just oozing from what you write and feel. What a beautiful gesture in honor of your sister.

I lost my best friend 10 mths ago to breast cancer; she was like a sister to me and I find a lot of encouragement from Little Red Bird and your blog...so thank you. I know it was no coincidence that I happened to find you. We visit a lot of the same FB pages and I loved the letter you wrote to the judge. What was so strange was that my girlfriend was misdiagnosed; she battled the cancer for ten years and at the end I wanted to write a letter to her doctor, very similar to the same words you wrote to that judge. I would have tried to relate the same kind of message you did, however, my girlfriend requested that I do not write it, so I never did. I felt in instant connection with you..........

Lots of love to you and our loved ones up in heaven xo

Sue

Almost everyday since, we have been talking and sharing and being amazed at all the things we have in common. We are helping each other and growing from each other. I know she was a gift from Mary.

One of the most amazing things about our connection is that she is from the exact area that I live now, here on Long Island. She moved to Connecticut not too long ago, but still has family and friends here on the Island. Of the millions of people in this world on facebook, Sue and I connect and are in the same area. That to me is just AMAZING!!!!!!

In one of my readings from Hilliary, Mary came through and said "Connecticut". I never knew what she meant, but Hilliary told me to write it down, that it would make sense later. Hmmmmm ~ I'm wondering if this is it!
