There with You!
She was not a stranger to illness or death, but this was different—it was family. She was sitting at the bedside of her mother-in-law, who had been at home with hospice care for the past five months. Something had changed drastically in those wee hours of the morning.
She called hospice, and the nurse arrived as quickly as possible. The nurse’s words, “You are probably looking at hours, not days,” confirmed what she intuitively knew.
The support, kindness, and information the nurse brought was all vital, but it came with a surprising additional blessing of love and support: the nurse’s name printed on her name tag was the same as her daughter’s, including the last initial!
Late that night, the call to her daughter about the passing of her grandmother included sharing of the coincidence. Through shared tears of loss and love, the granddaughter whispered lovingly to her mom, “See, I was there with you!”

Era of Peace

She had driven out-of-state to attend the seminar.
Settling into their seats, waiting for the seminar to begin, she told her companion, “Last night I had a dream that we got here and there were people here we knew. In the dream, I thought it was actual people we knew, but when I woke up I realized it was that, in reality, we know everyone at the soul level.”
The woman seated directly in front of her turned around and said, “I had the same dream!”
“Where are you from?” they both asked. They were from the same state, about thirty minutes away from one another. They soon discovered they knew several people in common.
The seminar began.
After the break, returning to their seats, seeing faces more clearly, her companion realized they had previously met!
From Patricia Cota-Robles’ website, the words about the seminar seem significant, too:
We are in the midst of a monumental Awakening that is taking place within the heart and mind of every man, woman, and child on Earth. This is true whether a person is consciously aware of it or not.

Date with Destiny?
A couple in his wife’s class was bringing an out-of-town friend to the bike ride. “He rides your class,” they told him. “It would be great if you two can ride together, since he will not know anyone.” As it turned out, they did not connect.
Nothing could have prepared him for the events of that Century bike ride. Just seven miles into the ride, the rider in front of him crashed hard, tumbling head-over-heels several times before landing against a fence.
A handful of shocked riders (including an ER nurse) were the only ones at the site of the crash. They administered CPR while waiting for the EMTs to arrive. The gravely injured man had to be airlifted out, and later was pronounced dead. He was 62, and had just retired.
All but one other of those who had been at the scene opted to give up on the ride. They were just too shook up to go on.
“My wife is riding the short route, but she will be working SAG (support and gear) until 3:00. We came in one car. I would just have to sit and wait for her. I may as well ride,” he said.
“I came with friends who are doing the same thing. I may as well ride, too,” the other man added.
Introducing themselves, they discovered they were the two who had been intended to meet and ride together….
As the nurse picked up her bike to load it onto the SAG vehicle, one single, beautiful, flower was perfectly poised in the spokes of her wheel.

Happy Anniversary!
A Facebook post:
Weird how anniversaries can bring up so many emotions that we don’t even realize we have stored away.
Today would’ve been my 24th wedding anniversary, and in true form, a picture of my first husband fell out of an old journal.
He would be proud of our girls. He would probably just shake his head and tell me, “Good luck with that, Babe.”
Funny how much time can pass but certain memories never fade. Today of all days, to have his photo fall out of that journal….
“Happy anniversary, Honey. Ted’s covering for you, and loving our girls well.”

You’re Taking My Place
His golf game had been so off, he gave up his place on the league that night, paying to have a sub golf for him rather than be frustrated by his game.

Sitting at the counter of a neighborhood bar, having a beer and burger with his brother who was visiting from out-of-state, they struck up a conversation about golf with the guy next to them.“I’m golfing later this afternoon. I am playing with Steve W.,” their new friend said.
He shook their new friend’s hand. “You must be David A. Steve is my golf partner. You’re taking my place!”
What a small world, filled with meaningful synchronicities….

Hiccups!
Debra’s friend arrived to pick her up. Her friend had hiccups.
“I’ve had them all morning,” her friend complained.
Debra said, “Did you read my wellness tip this morning? It is about curing hiccups!”
“I did not have time to read email this morning. What does your wellness tip say about getting rid of hiccups?” her friend asked.
Drinking a glass of water with ears plugged did it!

What are the odds…You can read the whole tip at Hiccup Cures (Oh, my!), but be warned that some of them are X-rated!

Dreamed of Grandma
A woman who works as a healer using energy medicine received a call from her adult son. He and his children were driving from their home to hers (a significant distance several states away).
“I am not sure if I should turn around and head back home,” he said. His daughter had been sick, forcing them to stop a couple of times already. He wanted to attend the 80th birthday celebration for his uncle and see his mother, but he was not sure that was best for his daughter.
Asking permission, his mother said, “Would you like for me to do some distant healing with her as you drive, and see how she does?” He agreed.
As the woman began doing the healing work, her granddaughter fell asleep. When she woke up, she was feeling better, and they were able to continue to the family event.
Her words upon waking were simply, “I dreamed that Grandma was doing healing work on me.”

He’s Back!
She had just watched a bumble bee pollinate every flower in the flower pot, before the special black hummingbird showed up. (See August 1, 2015 Sacred Stories Hummingbird: He is All Around Me)
He kept buzzing back and forth in front of her. Then he landed on the feeder and stared into their Mom’s window for the longest time.
She’d not ever seen a hummingbird do that before. She knew it was her brother’s spirit visiting again.
She said out loud, “He’s back.”
She told their Mom about his visit, and they were both excited.

O Canada
She had left her home in the U.S., and was on Vancouver Island, reunited with her partner to see if they could make things work.
She was standing outside a grocery store, asking her divine self, “Is this where I should be?”
She noticed a piece of paper on the ground, and picked it up.
The words to the Canadian National anthem was printed on it!

Her comment: “A pretty clear sign, I’d say.” -
Quarter
When her brother was physically with her (he had recently transitioned with cancer), she told him she would refinish the beautiful wooden console in his truck.
She found a quarter underneath as she took the console out. Something told her to look at the date.
It was 1967, the year he was born!

“I am having fun playing with him. He’s so joyful!”
