Cherishing Mary

I posted this on FB & Instagram:

 

This Sunday 3/22: in honor of Mary, my beautiful sisters life, I will release 3 balloons. Thanking her for being who she was to me, a true blessing of joy and unconditional love.

 

I also thank her for her magical signs - she has given me the FAITH ✨ HOPE ✨ and INSPIRATION in my life now that allows me to be free to live with LOVE in my heart and to share it with the world. I understand and know what really matters in life now. Thank you Mary for being the Angel you were on earth and the Angel you are now up above and all around 󾆯✨ I cherish you with all my heart!'

 

 

A Pendant of Hope from Mary

Isn't is a fun little wonder when something crosses your path and you immediately felt it was meant to be.  I call this a synchronicity.

Through social media (Instagram),  I came across this lil jewelry maker from Austin, Texas just a couple weeks before the anniversary of my Mary's passing... the name of the company was "Bee Mary" Jewelry and the item that caught my eye was a pretty pendant with the word HOPE on it.

I felt a strong attraction to this lil pendant of hope.  I reached out & before I knew it I bought it.   I first thought it was for me but almost immediately, i felt a soft nudge that said "No, this is for Kelsey!" -  Mary's daughter.  She was having some tough times in her first year in college at this moment and needed a lil hope.  Coincidentally,  this one of kind pendant happened to be Kelsey's two favorite colors:  purple and pink.  It was meant to be.

I reached out to the owner of  and asked her the meaning behind "Bee Mary"... the owner confirmed what I knew in my heart.....

 

I truly believe Mary guided me to this gift and had me buy it for her daughter.  

A Gift from Above.

Emma Marie Synchronicity

GREAT NEWS ~ Our brother and his wife are having their first baby - due date is July 20th  (only 11 days from Mary's Bday- hehe).   They decided to have a.....

Baby Reveal:  the new trend where the couple has a party to reveal the sex of the baby.  LOVE IT! The couple doesn't know, only the host of the party does and they blow up balloons and hide them in a trunk or box and the couple opens it at the party - everyone finds out together.

I wasn't able to make the trip to Texas for this, but thanks to Skype, its like I was there.  

We found out it is girl which we're so excited for but the amazing surprise to me was the name they have chosen for her: 

 EMMA MARIE

Emma is Mary's middle name and Marie is mine.  I had said quietly to a few friends and my husband that if I was to ever have a little girl,  that I would name her Emma Marie.  My brother or his wife did not know this, so when he announced to me that he was naming his little girl after his two big sisters my heart skipped a beat and brought tears to my eyes.  What a beautiful surprise.  How did he know?

Did Mary whisper in his ear?

Morning Dove wish

Since I've moved into my new home last fall, I've been blessed with a beautiful assortment of birds visiting my yard.  Blue Jays, cardinals, black eyed juncos, chickadees and finches.  I love them all. But.... there are two very special birds to me in addition to my cardinals, that had taken residency in my yard at my old home after my sister passed away:  the Robin and the Mourning Dove. 

I had come to enjoy their presence in both sight and sound at my old home.  I haven't seen either in my new home.

In the last couple months, I've said out loud to my husband as I look out my window at the bird feeders I have placed in my yard,  "I miss my mourning doves.  I wish they would come to me."  Then I would wonder if they would find me......

This morning as I raised the blinds, I noticed a little bird under the bird feeder that was just sitting there. I couldn't tell what it was right away because the birds have made a hole in the snow just beneath the bird feeder and it's gotten pretty deep.  I looked closer and got my binoculars..... IT WAS A MOURNING DOVE!!!!

It's the simple things that make me happy. Like the appearance of a special kind of bird that I've been wishing for since I moved to my new house. 
A Mourning dove has finally found its way to me..... 🐦.
I saw her just sitting beneath the bird feeder this morning in the hole in the snow the other birds have made. HAPPY FRIDAY my friends.... Believe in the magic ~ wishes do come true. Just stay aware and Believe 💛

I am so happy to be so blessed... I am heard and my wishes do come true

Funny Feathertime

Just had to share this fun little text and picture I received from Kelsey ~ right after I had text her.

Angel winks for Kelsey too.

Kelsey's Sign

 

Comfort from above for niece Kelsey .....

Feeling a bit overwhelmed with balancing her college work & a new part time job she loved, she decided to go for run down by the water and say some prayers. Just as she opened her eyes, she caught this little white feather floating by her side. She instantly felt joy and comfort and somehow knew everything was going to be okay.

What a gift! 💫!

Feathers Feathers Feathers

How special it is when a feather appears just when we need it the most.... at that moment, in your path, out of nowhere, a random perfectly intact feather lands in your path.   Signs of love from above... that is a fact! 

Twinkle My Mary Star

Twinkle twinkle your my star 🌟! I always knew that you'd go far. Within your heart there's a radiant light and through your actions shine so bright!  To your talents there is no end.... A broken heart your love will mend. ❤️

Morning RED says HI

 

.... I had just left my house this morning & was driving down my snow laden road when my car started beeping, telling me a car door was not closed tightly. I stopped in the middle of the road since no one was coming from either direction.

When I got out of the car I heard my familiar "Chirp Chirp Chirp"... I look across the street into a neighbors yard and there's a big red cardinal siting in the leafless tree close to the road staring at me.

I felt a warmth of love -  - beautiful start to this cold winters day!
