HAPPY FATHERS DAY
Cardinal Comfort
Friday, June 17, 2011 ~ I had to have my gallbladder removed! I contribute my speedy recovery to all the love, prayers and angels (Cardinals) that were sent my way!
On the way to the hospital Chad and I stopped at an ATM - I jumped out of the car and a female cardinal swooshed right in front of me almost hitting me in the face. She flew to a bush nearby and chirped a little Hi!
Then, almost 10 hours later, I was out of the hospital and headed home! As I pulled into my parking spot, got out of my car, I immediately heard the cardinal singing from the tip top of the roof of my building I live in. It was 8:45 at night - how lucky I was to catch these chirping songs of love! (can you see the little splash of red here?) I wish I had a better picture but I'm glad I captured this:
My baby brother and sister (David & Lisa) were together that day and sent me the sweetest picture blowing me kisses! What a sweet picture ~ one I'll cherish forever! They look so cute here - like they did when they were kids - only 16 months apart, they always looked like twins - here they are again!
Lucky me so surrounded by love - with my family and friends and love from above!

"If you've lost someone you love - do something to cherish their memory. Bake their favorite dish, watch their favorite movie, buy a bouquet of their favorite flowers, dance to their favorite song, post their picture on FB, do a blog or post - just honor them because they were here and touched your heart! Now they are IN your heart!!" ~Jeni

Angel Assignments
Through my "Little Red Bird" fan page, I have been connected to an angel named Rev. Jacqueline J Garner who has a fan page "Angel Assignments". Synchronistically she posted an Angel Message from the Cardinal that I was meant to see:
The Cardinal is a power-packed bird that transforms and awakens us. Its color and voice are its two strongest characteristics. It is a member of the finch family and is often recognized by its brilliant red color.

When a person receives a message through the cardinal and they step onto a spiritual path, there will be no turning back. Everything else in their life will seem insignificant. Extra care must be taken here to insure personal happiness, particularly in the area of one-to-one relationships. Balancing spiritual ideals and physical pleasure will need to be instated in ones life so harmony on all levels is known.
Often the cardinal represents someone we love who has passed on & this is their message the cardinal brings~ To Be happy!
God & Our Angels often speak to us through subtle messages & symbols. Their messages can be like little treasures just waiting for us to recognize them. They may come as a vision, a thought, a word, a feeling, a sound or even in physical form.

Little Red Bird & Facebook
A week ago today I was inspired to start a Facebook fan page named:
Little Red Bird 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.
This is a place to share the positive lil chirps we all need to hear.
"Remember, life is a journey and everything happens for a reason. Life may not always be easy, but that's okay, if life was always good and easy than how would we know the difference between the good and the bad?"
Read them, live them, take them to share. In order to keep it, you must give it away. Chirp away my dear friends, I can't wait to hear!

Little House to come?

Tuesday, May 17th
Chad and I had an appointment with a mortgage counselor to see what type of loan would work best for us...... We had no idea, but hoped for the best.It was pouring rain, as we drove down the busy parkway, barely able to see, two flashes of red fly in front of our SUV. I looked over at Chad and said, "Did I really just see two red cardinals fly in front of us in the pouring rain?" YES! He saw them too.
As we are sitting in the mortgage counselor's office, I notice a large coffee mug with Wonder Woman on it, and then I look up on her desk cabinet and saw a picture of Wonder Woman. I thought that was pretty cool, my dad was a huge fan of Wonder Woman and anytime I see her (which isn't very often at all these days) I think of him. I felt comfortable in her office. She was a charming and smart woman who made you feel comfortable right away. I looked around her office some more and see pictures and even a calendar of a beagle dog. This was her dog she bragged. My dad had a beagle too!
These connections were comforting and everything went very well. We will be searching for the perfect little house.
We left her office and Chad looked at me and said, "I can't believe you haven't mentioned anything to me about that visit!" I looked over at him and said "what, the connection to my dad?" He said, "YES, but don't you remember what your medium friend Jim Fargiano said at your visit last January?" A lightbulb went off...... I couldn't believe I didn't make the connection! WOW...... last January in my visit with Jim Fargiano my dad came through and was showing him a desk with a bunch of legal papers and a little house!
This was a sign to us that we were in the right place at the right time.
Then, at the end of the day as I was headed on a last minute errand TWO CARDINALS (again) flew in front of my SUV. Two birds - twice in one day - Wow - that's all I have to say!
How lucky am I? How grateful I am!

Birthday Magic for David
May 16th is our brother David's birthday.....
David decided to spend his birthday with our mom down at the beach in Port Aransas. His girlfriend Amanda and his good friend Jason came along for some family fun in the sun. Our sister Lisa and her wonderful family joined them. What a gift for everyone to be together!David, his friend Jason and our brother in-law Victor spent the morning on the beautiful beach lined golf course. David's present to himself. What was about to happen is a gift that he will cherish for the rest of his life!
First part of the course he lost his driver head cover along the way and for some reason when he backtracked it was nowhere to be found. What was found instantly was this beautiful bright cardinal driver head cover staring straight at him. It was love at first sight and he had to have it! Now if he hadn't lost his driver head cover, he may have passed this gift off not wanting to waste money on something he didn't really need. (I think someone up above knew that and wanted him to have it!)
And the crazy thing about all this - just the night before he had text to me that he didn't think our sister Mary has been with him lately. HA! HAPPY BIRTHDAY lil brother - Mary will always be with you!

How to train your Nephew (to smile for you)!

I was going to buy it for him since he made the NJHS (National Junior Honor Society), but had been putting it off.
So........, I was talking to Kelsey the other night and asked her to take a picture of him for me and this is what I got:
He finally calmed down and 5 minutes later Kelsey was able to capture this:
