Maria ~ Divine Connections

I received a heart warming email from a beautiful soul named Adriana.  She found my Mary blog somehow and was drawn to read through it and reach out to me to let me know a little bit about her and her loss too.

My name is Adriana.  

I lost my sister Maria on December 13, 2015.  She was born on March 15.  My symbol for her is red cardinals and lady bugs.  I’m crying reading your blog.  Thank you for your words.  Adriana

There is a divine connection out there, up above, all around that brings us together.  I like to believe it is our loved ones who are watching over us and sending us signs and connecting us so we can share in our grief and so our faith can be once again renewed in the fact that life does go on and we don't really lose our loved ones, they are with us always.  Helping us, guiding us if we allow.  All we have to do is Believe and the signs and magic appears.  

Adriana and I continued to communicate via email a couple more times.  I was so happy to hear from her and I didn't even know her.  I had this feeling though as if we were connected.  It seems we were connected by love, a kind of love you don't experience on earth in a physical means, its a divine connectiveness kind of love that is from somewhere else.  I feel like it's a special kind of love that one can feel only when you are truly open and believe in the magic that is all around us.   Its pure.   I want to share her email that she sent about an experience she shared with me about a friend of hers who was having a reading from a medium because I think it should be out there and heard.  I've refrained from writing about my experiences with psychic mediums in the past because of the judgements I know are out there regarding this topic.  But I am past that now and think its time to share. All my experiences have been a strong confirmation regarding all the signs, synchronicities and visits I've had.   Stay tuned, I plan to share my experiences soon.  In the meantime, here is Adriana's beautiful story:

Hi Jeni,

I live in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.  I’m glad you will be posting more on your site.  It brought me a lot of comfort.  I’m sorry about your sister’s death.  Thank you for responding to my email (I did not expect to hear from you).

A few days ago, my friend was getting a reading done by a medium.  I was very skeptical but tried to keep an open mind and heart.

The beginning of the reading she said I can hear a cardinal singing outside your window.  I smiled.  A cardinal arrived a few days ago for the arrival of Spring.

I listened to the medium from another room while my friend got a reading.  She was so accurate in everything she said.  My heart was drawn to the room  where my friend was getting her reading done (I sat in front of the computer).

I said in my mind, if this medium is real, Maria come through to me in some way.  A few seconds later she says, I keep heating a ‘ah’ sound...then she says....Mary....Maria.

My friend responded immediately by saying it was my sister.  The medium described her perfectly. The medium described her personality, her illness, the age she died (44 years old), her profession.......I started crying when the medium was describing her.  The medium said that she is always with me....I guess that is the question I must say every day.... 

I say:  “Maria, can you hear me?”  I say:  “Maria, are you here? 

I wish I could have heard more.....but the reading was for my friend.  I didn’t want to intrude.  All of her dead relatives came forward.  Amazing.....

I wish I could have had a conversation with my sister.  The medium said your sister is so quiet, so smart.  Dr. Maria.  She had her PhD in environmental sciences.  Maria studied and taught before she became so sick.....

Anyway, I guess I’m sharing because your site touched me deeply...all the signs that you notice.  Like whispers from God, angels,.......

I think that when we die, our bodies are deceased, but our spirits, or souls move to another dimension.  I’m not always in touch with that spiritual dimension.  I try to sit in silence in nature to access it.

I really like your uplifting words and stories.  I am grateful I came across them. 

Thank you for sharing 

My love and my heart go out to you Adriana and I thank our sisters for connecting us.   Keep on believing and never give up hope.  Maria is with you always and ready for you to hear her as the medium hears her.  XOXO  Love, you sister through our sisters, Jeni

Mary Mask orders

My dear friend Leesah Marie from Caring Cardinals sent me a beautiful CC Covid-19 mask to help keep me safe.  

I took a picture and sent it to her with lots of love and gratitude.  She loved it so much she asked if she could use my picture on her Caring Cardinals website and I happily gave her permission....

Only moments after she posted my picture, she received an order for two masks from a "Mary" ❤️

Messages of Love

 

I don't know who SN O'Neill is but I received short but sweet email as a reminder to me that sharing the signs and love I still receive from my Mary is an important message for all to hear.  I believe it helps people to open their minds and hearts to the truth that our loved ones are always near. 

Love from Above

I ALWAYS seem to get a sign at the most auspicious times.  Times where my loved one up above wants me to know that she is here with me.  Today I wasn't feeling very well, I was up all night with a belly ache, so I headed to Panera for  a late lunch of some brothy soup and then this license plate appeared in my view and took my breath away. I knew immediately it was my Mary sending me a sign 🙏❤️👼👭✨ #lovefromabove

Magical Moment

 

I'm doing a 21 day writing journey put on by Mike Dooley (TUT).  Each day there is a theme word.  On this day it was "Magic".

I have so many magical moments in my life it's surreal.   Just moments ago I was writing a story for my day four (4) theme "Intuition", and a magical moment happened. 

I wrote about a time I was called or nudged to go to the roof of my building i manage in NYC. No reason or feeling of reason  was given in this nudge and I didn't take the time to question it, I just went. I was greeted by a beautiful red cardinal in a tree on the roof there in NYC, followed by a little blacked eyed junco sitting right beside it.  I was in complete awe and knew it was a sign from above. My sister had just passed in the months before and she was showering me with signs everyday (birds, orbs, songs, 11:11, objects moving, feathers, electric signs, synchronicities, people).  I was surprised to see this beautiful bird so high up in the sky and in nyc where no parks were nearby.  

As I was writing this experience at my dining room table, I had the back door open for some fresh air, all of a sudden a cardinal appeared  just outside the door staring in and chirping at me.

That is the kind of Magic that happens to me almost daily.  

Love from above letting me know that I am not alone!!!

Happy Birthday Mary

  Happy Birthday Mary! 👼💛✨ your love for life and helping others and contagious enthusiasm still lives on sis!  We will always celebrate you - thank you for amazing memories and continued magic you bring to my life.                               

 

Love from Above

I was just sitting at the dining room table telling (okay maybe whining) to Brittany how much pain I'm still in with my shoulder surgery recovery and how I can't take anything for the inflammation because of how sensitive my stomach is ,(no ibuprofen, no steroids, no pain meds....) And then I look out and see a beautiful red cardinal on the outside umbrella staring directly in at me.  😲 I grabbed my phone to snap shot of him but only caught him in flight (see the arrow), until I went outside and saw him hopping around the grass almost as if he was waiting for me.  I felt almost an instant relief and an ease in the pain I was just talking/crying about.  Sweet Saturday....#LovefromAbove ❤️

Feathers in my Path

I was feeling a little down on my train ride home today.  Some Mary memories were popping up in my thoughts and I felt the break in my heart that's there.💔  (Im okay, this happens sometimes when you lose a part of you) - I know she's still here..... Especially when a random feather just appears!   

Like this one that showed up just now in the garage on the way to my car.

Taft Raider HS - Memorial Page

Mary Emma Combs - Taft Class of 1990 - Passed away 3.22.08 at the young age of 35.

Mary gave her heart and soul to everything she did and everyone she met.  She was my little sister and I was her #1 fan (still am).  She lived and loved with no judgement and was a true cheerleader in her life as well as her schools.  She accomplished a lot in her little time in life.  Always giving it her all.   She danced and cheered her way through high school and in college too where she graduated on the Deans list from Howard Payne University.   She competed in triathlons and even co-ed roller-blading races - yes, she won most of them.  She was humble too - a beautiful quality that shone through in her compassion she had for everyone else.   She left us with precious gems - Kelsey and Brett - who are shining legacies.  She left us too soon, but she is all around us and cheers for us all.  She shows us her signs and when i catch them, i share them on a blog i had made just for her: 

Link to Loving Mary Forever (Dancing and Cheering blogpost)

Those who knew her, know exactly what i'm talking about here.  Mary was pure love and joy.  She has touched many peoples hearts with who she was and will live on through us forever.  I will cherish her forever - she is connected to my very soul. I am a better person today because of her.   She has allowed my faith to longer be blind. I can see Clearly now.  The synchronicities she has brought illuminates my life.

LOVING MARY FOREVER!!!
