Studio3Ten - A Cardinal Story

 A Cardinal Story:

After learning more about Suzanne Millius,  there were so many things in common, I felt a nudge to reach out to her so I wrote her an email to say Hi and connect:
I’m so happy I found you and absolutely love your art and style.  You truly speak to my soul and its as if you speak my heart.  Fashion, art and music have a place in my heart too.  My father (in heaven now) was an artist, graphic designer and sang beautiful songs.  He too loved antiques, Clearwater songs and art….. somehow I’m thinking HE is the one who guided me to find you.  Also, my dad is from Creve Coeur, ILL – also Midwest.   My sister (also in heaven now) is the one who brought the little red bird (our cardinal) to me the day she died – she has inspired me to inspire others with love, hope and inspiration and the journey with our little red bird.  It is amazing how many can connect to our little red bird. www.facebook.com/littleredbirdchirps


Suzanne wrote back:
I am convinced we all cross paths with one another - for a reason. Sometimes its a reason that may not be initially clear - other times - its not until later one, we are able to make the connection. as to why. I think we are here to learn - so the people we encounter - is part of the learning process. So.....that said, you found me for a reason. :)

The cardinal for me - has always been a reoccurring theme in my life - but it was a delayed recognition - in that, in hindsight - its clear. It was there all along.....like someone giving me a distinct message.  But did not know it or see it at the time.

I also have this strange connection with 11:11, 11:10, 11:12.........

I had so much art and music growing up. My grandmother - Evelyn - she was such an amazing woman. I used to go over to her house as a child, and she would draw trees with cardinal in them. So I would too.....She was sweet, kind, wise - and funny. In mind - we are all perfect - but some of us have a great deal to learn, she was just a wise soul.  Aside from her drawing these.....she collected them. and just weirdly they just always seem to 'appear' through out my life..........

She passed away years ago - but I had a very difficult time with her loss. VERY hard. Just watching her sorta crumble away.....ugh. so so difficult. I remember my mother held a 'memorial of life' for her - the grounds it was held was a beautiful house/mansion - that around here you can rent out....anyway, I did a portrait of her and gave to my mother - that was there, along with tons of photos, videos of her.....she touched so many lives......I just remember feeling numb....and I went upstairs to 'catch my breath'.....and while standing looking out the window.....I felt/though - 'I miss you..............' and began to cry. at that moment, the trees were FILLED with red cardinals......it was winter, and it was both stunning - powerful........but as a I cried - I thought 'oh my goodness......... you are not really gone.......are you?' and wow. it was just powerful. So I continued to see them. and then what started to happen as when I would struggle with something in my life - or...anything I was having a hard time processing.....a cardinal would appear.

its funny since opening this shop - the cardinals, I have had COUNTLESS people message me, and they tell me their own cardinal stories. it just blows me away.

Twin Tree Healing

I'm so blessed with so many sisters...... sisters I've gained since Mary left this earth.
It's magical how these beautiful like minded - same soul women have come into my life.
Two of the newest are Greta and Ali with Twin Tree Healing!  They are actually sisters and I am proud to connect with them and call them soul sisters!
They have a beautiful FB page and are hosts on a You Tube Channel - like Little Red Bird,  they too spread LOVE, Hope & Inspiration.

I was honored this week when they honored me as their "Lightworker of the Week" ~  this is their beautiful post they shared on their FB page:

Everyday we meet such incredible people bringing positivity, love, and light to the world. Every week we honor a different person as the "Lightworker of the Week." If you know of someone you would like to recommend to be featured, please send us a message at twintreehealing@yahoo.com!

We fell in love with Jennifer Combs Brocato's facebook page: Little Red Bird a few months back now and had to share her with the TTH community!

"Little Red Bird Chirps promotes HOPE, LOVE, Inspiration and motivation through Positive Living!
In a time of heartache and despair, when life just didn't seem fair, a little red cardinal flew to my side
and for a moment, made the ache disappear. That was just the beginning...today the little red bird chirp chirp chirps everywhere."

Furthermore, Jennifer has a blog in honor of her sister Mary who passed away March 22nd 2008.
It is because of her that Little Red Bird is here.... it appeared the day she died and never left her side.
The blog started out as a place to cherish her, and now it is not only that, but a place to cherish the magical and mystical signs and synchronicities that have become her life since she left the earth..... you are welcome to visit and follow along.
It's pretty fun !

Here's to spreading more LOVE into the world!

Praying for Precious Halle

I just love how people, places and things are put into my path the way they do..... as if they were meant to be.  New friendships are formed and bonds that touch the soul.

(picture from "Praying for Precious Halle" FB Group, posted by Jennifer - its a real picture - a cardinal cloud)

FB (Facebook) has a way of bringing long lost friends back together and new ones to light.  In this story I'm about to mention,  its both of the above.  A long lost friend from high school has been touched by all the cardinals I post on my personal FB page.  It didn't take her long to find my LRB Chirps FB page.   Then, coincidentally she started seeing local stories on her FB page and around her town about a lady who lost her 10 year old daughter and then she reached out to me to share these amazing occurrences. 

May 22, 2013 I was going to paraphrase what my friend Melissa shared with me but I felt she wrote it all so beautifully that I decided to just cut and paste it here:

  Hi Jennifer!.....................I have noticed in the past that you post pictures of cardinals but never knew much about it but when I saw your recent one I could not help but comment because of what is going on around here (I live in Spring Hill, TN now which is about 30 miles south of Nashville). It all started about two months ago when a precious 10 year old girl in our community, who was absolutely healthy and athletic got sick with the flu and it attacked her heart and she developed myocarditis. She went into cardiac arrest and was brought back. For 2 weeks she fought for her life. A friend of this girl's family started a Facebook page for people to pray. People around here also put red bows on mailboxes all over this community to symbolize prayers for a healed heart. But as her mom says "God takes the best" and He did take her home and healed her perfectly so she was not in any more pain. Ever since her death on April 5 many people in this community feel as though their faith has become stronger because of this little girl. I did not know the family or this precious girl but feel like I have gotten to know them through their Facebook page "Praying for precious Halle". She was a very caring little girl who would befriend anyone, and for being only 10, she was vocal about being a Christian. About a month before her death she had written a paper about "If I could meet one person" and her person was God and that she had alot of questions for him. And many people were imagining her in heaven asking him all her questions.
  

  I wanted to support this family so I joined the page and then found myself wanting to post on the page but was a little weary of what to say since I cannot say I've experienced the death of a child and also because I did not know this family personally. One morning I was stewing about whether to post on her page or not and I looked out a small window upstairs in our house and all I could see sitting on a branch was a beautiful red cardinal looking right at me and "talking" to me and cocking it's head as if to say "go ahead and tell the family what you want to say - why wouldn't you?" Being that it was a red bird too as that was the color of this girls bows I took that as a sign to reach out and so I did. I was surprised that this grieving mother replied back saying that she had been visited by a cardinal too. This little girls mother started seeing her cardinal more and more and believing it was a sign from her little girl letting her know she was OK. The cardinal even came once when she was sad and had called for it to come. Many people started posting their cardinal stories around here that had some kind of link to Halle. One person had a cardinal fly in front of their car after they had dropped off dinner to this grieving family. I had a second encounter with a cardinal myself - I had made this family dinner just this Friday night and on Sunday I went to McDonald's to get breakfast for my kids. When I got to the drive thru window the person in the car in front of me had paid for it (a red car too!). Then as I was driving out the parking lot to the road a cardinal flew in front of me and landed in a nearby tree and looked right at me. I think it was sent from God/Hale to say thank you for making her family dinner and by the way I've taken care of your breakfast! It just gave me goosebumps! Alot of people are saying they have not really noticed cardinals before and now all this activity! The best was yesterday when Halle's mom prayed specifically that if these cardinals were a sign from God/Halle that she is OK and happy up in heaven then to let her hold a cardinal. She figured what were the chance of that happening? Well they have a mischievous cat that only Halle could tolerate and has done nothing but lay around since her death. That cat went out and caught a cardinal (of all birds) and brought it to Halle's mom! The bird was not hurt but to save it she had to get it out of the cat's mouth and hold it! Such an unbelievable occurrence - her very specific prayer was answered and now she has felt more peace. Some great pictures of cardinals people have taken and these stories are all on her Facebook page "Praying for precious Halle" which is an open community page. Someone even posted a link to a page about the cardinal experience which has been very interesting to read. So why is the cardinal important to you?

Melissa has since shared my story and my FB page with Tammy ("Praying for Precious Halle" mom) and I too  have reached out to her and joined her "Praying for Precious Halle" FB Group.  It's amazing to connect with others who experience these divine signs from above, comforting us and strengthening our faith in God and the life that goes on when we leave this earth.  Experiencing these signs bring us pure joy and comfort but because they are so random and its not just about the physical act of seeing them, its that feeling we get inside where we just "know" it's a gift from above, we still wonder if its real.   Making these kind of connections confirms our gifts and make them more real.  They take away any doubts..... because the more who receive the more real it has to be - right?

We need to start a Cardinals of Love club ~ what do you think?

Little Red Bird connections

A couple more Little Red Bird connections from my Little Red Bird Chirps FB page.....

Bunni McLaughlin:

When I would go visit my dad back in the 70's & 80's there would always be a cardinal in his yard...singing away. never failed. When my dad passed in '88, I went to his house to see it for the last time...and there was the little red bird. I feel that this is my dad coming home...and I see that little red bird every so often and feel mi papi close by. Thx for this post...my heart sings his little song.

Mary Alice Venezio Sexton:

Dear Little Red Bird - first, I am so sorry for your loss. But, thank you for being so generous that in the midst of your sorrow, you shared something so beautiful. My beautiful mother passed a few years ago and I miss her dearly. Before she passed she told us to look for the red birds. I really need her today and I feel like you posting this was so meant for me. There's even a line in this poem that I remember her saying when she realized she was dying. Again, thank you. I so much needed this.

The poem Mary mentions was something I posted on LRB FB page in honor of my Aunt Loretta who passed away.  It can also be found here on my blog: A Perfect Poem

Brought Together by Synchronicity

 All I have to say about these two wonderful pictures from two wonderful people is:

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES ~ I have been blessed!  I hear and see it all!!!

Love you Mary Soliel & Necole Stephens.......

 it is no coincidence that we are friends!

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

A Trip just for Mama

I said I was going to make some changes in 2012. One of them is that my family was going to take a front seat in my priorities this year. That means more trips to TEXAS!

I just bought my tickets to fly to Corpus Christi this month to be with my mom. I told mom this trip was dedicated to her. I know this means a lot to her and that means a lot to me. She has been a mom with so much love for her children and for that I am grateful and will do anything I can to be there for her. I love my mom so much! She is having a catheter abilation for her heart flutter and speedy pulse rate and I want to be there for her in the recovery. Looks like we are ALL going to be there.

Tickets weren't cheap, but for some reason I just didn't care. I didn't worry... I had a faith that this was angel money appearing. Plus my BFF Tina lives in Corpus these days and said she'll pick me up. It's only 20 minutes to Port Aransas... she also mentioned that she works for the Port Home Health and said if mom needed a home nurse to check on her, she can make that happen .... how comforting was that?!

My sister Lisa and her beautiful family will be making the trip from San Antonio to be with us in Port Aransas (aka ~ Port A). YAY! Now all we need is our brother David who lives in Houston and maybe even Kelsey and Brett, all the way from Beaumont..... it's a bit challenging with my family spread throughout Texas EVERYWHERE!!!

I was having a textversation with my lil brother yesterday morning, informing him of all the details. He said he will make it happen and make a trip to be with us. YAY! Now, the creative part comes in where it will take some team effort: Kelsey and Brett live the furthest away from Port A... close to 5 1/2 hours. BUT, since their Uncle Dave is headed to Port A for sure, the kids could hitch a ride with him if they can get from Beaumont to Houston with the help of Grandma Jojo... Kelsey loved that idea and thought it would be awesome to spend that time with Uncle Dave and then to surprise Grandma Sara. That just warms my heart to hear her say that. Those kids need as much family as they can get. (I pray their dad doesn't do what he did last Christmas when Uncle Dave tried to see them ~ say okay, then act like they had something to do when they didn't). David is all for the road trip with the kids.

I was having this textversation with my brother Dave, niece Kelsey and BFF Tina while commuting on the railroad to NYCity to work yesterday morning. I was so happy with all these wonderful connections and loving how it was all working out. I took a deep breath, a smile ran across my face and my heart felt warm. I looked up from my phone and out the window after receiving my last text with my brother: "Whatever I need to do I will ok. I'll be there ok! Promise! Keep me updated I'm here for family. I'll take care of it for sure! And I LOVE YOU AND OUR FAMILY! :)"

I was full of content and bliss. I felt Mary's presence and knew she was happy about all this family connection. Then, at that exact moment that I was feeling this love and looked out the window I saw a big piece of cement wall with the name DAVE spray painted on it! I went from bliss to mind blowing numbness... then I smiled to myself and did a little giggle. What an amazing sign!

I hear you Mary - I hear you!!!! I'm excited too!

I couldn't get a picture of DAVE on the cement since we were in transit, so I'm posting this precious picture of David at Mary's grave last year.........

Connections - Stories from Loss

You never know when and where you are going to have a connection with someone. I (Little Red Bird), was looking through Medium George Anderson's FB Page the other day (October 27, 2011) and decided to comment on a post - hoping to give some comfort to Candace who recently lost her stepdad. From there a long thread of posts occurred and a couple cool connections. Signs of love from above are everywhere and how wonderful it is to connect with those who have received them too. There's a certain bond that forms instantly when people connect through the magic of the signs received.

Candace Hirsch: Little Red Bird, I love your blog. I used to believe in signs and was convinced I had them. Mine are ladybugs, doves, blue birds. And things have happend concerning each. But now I think it was just me wanting to see what I wanted to see...self-comfort. I'll tell you a story about a ladybug. My first "step" dad died when I was almost 7. I didn't know my real dad as he died when my mother was pregnant for me. My dad that just died in AUG was my dad for the last 43 years. I never considered either a "step" dad...they were my dad. I was close to both of them. Anyway, I went out to see my first dad...before this dad died...hope this isn't confusing...and I was going through something and wasn't sure if it would be straightened out. When I first got to his grave that day...this was in JUN...I saw a ladybug walking on his grave marker. I smiled because I thought he had made sure it was there to let me know, it would be okay. I sat down on my sheet next to his grave and had my legs outstretched and had lost sight of the ladybug while doing this. But after I stretched my legs, there on my pants was the ladybug. I couldn't figure out how it got there. I let it crawl on my finger and talked to my dad and told him thank you and I would quit worrying. That ladybug stayed on my finger the 20 minutes I was there and when I went to leave, I put it on one of the flowers on his grave. That ladybug meant a lot to me. I was sure it was a sign from him. My dad that just died used to say to me...you will probably be the only one who brings me flowers when I die. He knew I always brought them out to my other dad. Sunday, I was out there putting new flowers on both their graves and sitting and crying and talking to my dad that just died and I looked up and flying overhead was a bald eagle. It was beautiful. I wanted to think it was my dad giving him dying was horrible and it haunts me. His last words were to me as I was the one with him in the ER before they transferred him to another hospital and he never spoke to any of us again. Even his last words haunt me. He said.."I'm sorry". Those two words can mean so many things and I am not sure exactly why he said it. He was only 64. He was only 13 years older than I am. He was younger than my mom when they married. A mere child really..he was only 21 and married a woman with 6 kids. I can't even imagine. Yet, he became a wonderful dad. And my heart aches so badly and I know my dad would have come to see me...physically.....to help me get through this...if there really was an afterlife. That's how he was. Always there for me. I miss him and am lost without him here........

Julie Bamonte Burgo: Candace, I lost my dad in 2006 and then my mom 3 years later in 2009. It's very difficult and I still cry. It gets better, then you have your bad days. I do get a lot of signs (my husband and daughter too) my siblings seem to get them a lot when they are with me. I was mom's caregiver for 3 years, my family moved in with her after my dad passed. She had cancer. We were very close. They signs we get are numbers like "Little Red Bird" we get 555 11:11 (that's when she passed) so many number like 444 333 - we see robins and turn the radio on a just the right time. I get the first three numbers of her home phone (my grandmas house) often too. We have had some electrical things happen with lights that were not plugged in and lights turning off by themselves. Pray a lot! Pray and cry... that's when I really get the signs. They'll come to you!!! Hugs to you. Keep pictures and belongings around you and do not let anyone tell you that it is unhealthy to do that. We all grieve at our own pace.

Connectiveness

I AM SO HAPPY! I have such a connective feeling to all the wonderful things going on right now. It's all part of my journey. I don't know how to put it in words!

Let me start by listing the 4 significant things I'm happy about right now and why:

1. The Synchro Project (http://www.synchroproject.org/)! The next big meeting is April 9th in NYC and that is coming up soon.... I feel like I am embarking towards great wisdom regarding all these wonderful things happening in my life! I'm going to make a book of all my synchronicities and bring it to this meeting. That's pretty easy since I have almost all of them all labeled here on my Mary blog! Can't wait to finally meet my synchro sister Lesley Roy! Since our connection, she has had a cardinal visit at a very significant time....

2. The Positive Pin (http://www.thepositivepin.com/)! This is such a sweet and simple little thing, but am so proud of it. A hometown friend brought it to life and its about to go global. This is what i am all about too.... I promote hope, love, inspiration and motivation through Positive Living! So I feel very connected to this Positive Pin!

3. "I Am" the Documentary (http://www.iamthedoc.com/)! I saw this posted on FB by my friend - the founder of The Positive Pin. I am so excited about this...... this docutmentary reminds me of my journey, my beliefs, my core! I looked up the showtimes and found that one of the Premiers is in NYC - Union Square next week, March 18th. Would you believe that it is actually in one of the buildings I work in?? Holey Moley. I sent it to the Director of the Synchro Project, my Synchro sister Lesley and may even make it!

4. Her Future (http://www.herfuture.com/)! A web community of like minded women working together to make our dreams come true by mentoring, inspiring, sharing, connecting...... I've met some incredible souls here and the more I connect the more I grow!

I could actually go on and on about all the people and things I'm so very grateful for but not today. This post is dedicated to the conectiveness of these 4 things going on right now in my life .......

I'm not sure what the outcome of this path I'm on is going to be and it doesn't matter, because all that matters it that I'm Enjoying the Journey... and that I AM!

The most incredible compliment

I know the following message is long, but I just have to share the whole e-mail, minus the senders name.... for respect to her privacy! I am only sharing this because it is such an unexpected compliment to receive from over 20 years ago. I cried last Monday as I read it. If I were to die today, knowing that I have touched someones life and made a difference, than I would die a happy soul.

To me, this is what life is all about:

Hi again and congrats on the wedding! You look so happy. Just as I remember you. I meant to respond to your message some time ago but kept getting distracted with daily life stuff.

I had to do a double take on the photo of your niece, Kelsey. She looks so much like Mary about the time she was in my life (a long time ago but seems just like yesterday). Thinking about her has made me think a lot about how important it is to reach out to others and let more people into my heart.

I recently embarked on a journey of self-assessment and while it was quite painful it was well worth the time and effort. I don't know if you had any idea how unhappy my home life was during middle school and high school but it was awful. School was my escape and the place I received positive feedback for my achievements. During my journey I tried to figure out where in my life things changed for me and I finally realized that being on Dance Team was what really made a difference in my life. I went from being completely self-conscious and shy to the much more confident and self-assured person I have become. It is a quite striking physical change as well that mirrors the internal change that occurred. My school photos are so completely different from one year to the next that I almost can't believe it.

While I was figuring all of this out I was encouraged to examine who was in my life at the time and I couldn't put my finger on who exactly might have had something to do with my "transformation." And then it hit me - that person is you! You were my person. I hope that doesn't sound strange or weird but when I stumbled across you on FB it hit me. You were the first person that showed any interest in me for who I was rather than what I could do or achieve.

So, while it has been many years since I have seen you I want to thank you for the smallest and simplest acts of kindness that made more of a difference in my life than you will ever know. If it helps ease your pain any, please realize that you have had a tremendous impact on other people's lives. There are probably more people that you have touched than you will ever know!

Congratulations again on the wedding and happy 40th! I love the painting of the reception - I would love to have one of ours! Best wishes - always.

Thank you for taking the time to read this sweet sweet e-mail I received from my "lil sis" on dance team in High School. She knew Mary, since she was younger than me.

Amazing Connections

The most amazing thing happened to me today:

I was at work today... crazy Monday of course! Then, after finishing a phone call, I look up and see a little lady standing in my doorway just smiling a peaceful smile at me. She was wearing a white scarf around her head, dressed in a simple black dress and looked as if she was waiting for me to invite her in. I smiled at her and said, "come in, come in - how are you?" She put her hand to her mouth, tilted her head and I could see she was still smiling. She tried to say something but couldn't say anything i would understand. She spoke no english. So she called out for her son, "Amir, Amir" and Amir appeared from the lobby. He kindly apologized and said, "My mom likes you, she wanted to come by to see you and say Hi". I was so flattered and told him to tell her thank you. She started speaking to him to translate. She was asking me if I was getting married in August. I was stunned and say, "Yes, but how did she know that"? He just laughed and said she was guessing. He said I had a glow. I was baffled and thanked her again. Amir's mother kept speaking to him to give me more information she wanted to say. She was saying to him that I will be with baby this time next year. I should hurry - something due to my age. I couldn't believe my ears. How in the world?! Then she said she sees two babies. She was just smiling and speaking so happily - hoping her son was relaying the message correctly. He told me she was wishing me happiness and blessings. I don't know how to describe the warmth I felt from her even though I didn't understand a word she said. Her kind, loving energy was flowing right to me.

Little did they know that I had a reading from

two seperate intuitive counselors that said the same thing.

Amir came back a little later and said he forgot to tell me that his mother was also telling me that one of the babies was going to be a boy and he was going to be tall, a big boy.

This was such a sweet and amazing connection that I couldn't wait to share it with Chad and my friends. All amazed!

As I was siting on the train headed home, looking out the window telling my friend Tina all about it, guess what flew right by my window ~ yup, a bright red cardinal!! I look out the train window EVERYDAY & never have i seen that. It flew right in my view and over the train. I couldn't believe my eyes. It seems like some sort of confirmation if you ask me......

The craziest thing is that I was wondering recently if someone would ever tap into my energy and give me a psychic reading.

Never a dull moment when your heart and soul are open for the surprises life has to offer!

Amazing Connections

I had the most amazing day on Friday....

I met someone and learned something and gave something away.

I met a very special person on Friday ~ someone who has a connection to a blog I wrote a few days ago. It was as if I put it out there and this person was guided into my path. No coincidence. A common topic came up to my surprise, we are a part of the same kind of soul seeking lifestyle. All because I said "I don't drink anymore either"....

She told me about a meeting in the area and invited me to meet her there. I thought about it for a while and called Chad, as I spoke to him he yelled into the phone, "hey, there's a cardinal on our patio.... just sitting there!". Wow ~ that's a first. Mary was showing herself and so excited about this meeting. I could feel it!

I went into the heart of the Village - only a 15 minute walk from work.

I've been saying for months....

"I need to find a good meeting in the city"

"I need to find a good meeting in the city".

I have!

This meeting was incredible... I felt at peace as soon as I walked in. It was very cozy with a warm air of serenity. I found a spot opposite of my new friend and settled right in. I raised my hand and introduced myself as new to this spot. Soon after, they asked me to speak. Of course I said YES... I was due. It was the most incredible meeting ever! I met some wonderful people and heard some wonderful stories. I gave them as much hope and inspiration as my heart could give and loved them all even though I didn't know them. But I did know them.... they told my story as they heard mine! Togetherness with a common bond and a support of unconditional understanding. I floated out of there with promises to return & return I will!

I am being guided and I am loving my path! My eyes are open and my mind is alert... I'm ready for my destiny. The sky has no limits and neither does my way. I love you Mary, please stay!
