The
Three Signs
It was a few days before Christmas,
when the signs came my way
I had not asked for them
And I was not expecting them.
They were indeed
an unexpected gift
The First Sign:
I was at Costco picking up some prints.
I go there often and
know the photo shop staff quite well
A young guy is there…maybe late 20’s early 30’s
English accent and I have not seen him before
He steps up to serve me and all is business as usual…
until the end
He looks at me and pauses…
then he asks me if I am spiritual…
There is a moment of hesitation as I find this a
peculiar question
the hesitation quickly turns into a smirk as this has
happened to me before
and I am curious as to why he is asking…
“yes”
I say with a big smile on my face.
He asks me if he can share something with me.
I say, again, “yes!”
He proceeded to tell me that he sees a big tree….old….
with strong deep roots.
He goes on to say that in 2016 this tree is going to
bare much fruit
He says to me,
“all you have been working towards will prosper this coming
year.”
I thanked him.
A slight bow of
gratitude and knowing is shared between us
And then I left,
sat in my vehicle
and cried.
The Second Sign:
This one happened at Winners…the same day
I had to pick up some last minute gifts.
The store is packed but they have all 11 cash
registers going
so the line-up is moving quickly.
It was in this line up I experienced an “interesting”
exchange
with a very intense, negative woman.
The story is not important
What was important was the familiar buttons her aggressive
behaviour
pushed in me
I would say, very clearly and decisively, that she was
of the bullying sort.
I watched myself as I did not react but instead
I paused and felt what was rising within me
a very familiar feeling
one that as a child took me over and into intense and
sometimes
blinding fear.
I said to myself … “Feel it…sink and breathe into
it…it is only a feeling”
I actually allowed it to come up and over my body
as I stood there with a smile on my face…
After this pause within myself,
as she continued on her rant,
I looked directly at her and quietly and calmly
said to her what I needed to say
and moved on.
I felt all the feelings
even the trembling in my belly
But it did not matter
It was not mine to take on or mine to make right
I moved on and left her in her cloud of negativity
as I basked in yet another Divine Sign
I left the store with a huge smile on my face
got in my car
and laughed out loud.
The Third Sign:
…the last one
took place at my home
As a Christmas gift to ourselves we canvased
three of our prints to hang in the living room…
they were the prints I was picking up early at Costco.
Three prints to replace the one.
As we took down the eagle print
there
petrified against the wall
perfectly intact with wings spread
was a beautiful moth.
Now Moth has played an important part in my self love
healing
It was Moth who told me some years back
that I would
never understand her
or the part of her within me
until I stopped
longing to be the butterfly.
This was a huge lesson for me.
That I would be wise
to learn about and accept all parts of myself equally
and that, even in what I could not see as beautiful,
there was indeed beauty.
It felt to me,
like this offering was not only a reminder
but a declaration in that I was doing just that…
learning to love all the parts of me
even those parts that
do not seem beautiful to me.
This was an amazing day for me…
I felt seen and loved by Spirit.
I felt The Creator watching over me and blessing me
I felt valued.
These signs…these blessings
helped me face a not so easy Christmas
they helped me walk with ease
one hand holding grief
one hand holding love.
What kinds of miracles
have you been experiencing?
Love
and Light...
and a Happy and Blessed New Year
