    Bernie’s passing on January 23 was not a total shock as he had been up and down with complications of COPD for a few years. However, when she wrote to a mutual friend to share the news, the reply was, “Just yesterday I was wondering how Bernie was doing.”

    Later, learning more details, they discovered Bernie had slipped into a coma the day before he completed his transition, so he may well have paid a visit that day. Often when it appears we are thinking of someone in spirit, we discover that person was making contact with us.

    One additional touching layer of coincidence: Bernie passed on the birthday of another good friend—also named Bernie!

  • Referrals

    Sacred Stories

    At 2:08 pm, she sent a text message to a colleague she had not seen in almost a year:

    “Sent a referral your way for relationship counseling.”

    At 3:03 pm, this was the reply to her text:

    “Oh my goodness. I just uttered your name to a client in my 2-3 appointment, and looked at my phone to refer someone to you just now. Yours was the first on my text messages! She will be calling you. The universe is incredible.”

  • Trust

    Sacred Stories

    It was her birthday, and the Angelic Messenger Card she drew was “Trust.”

    Acknowledging universal love as your basis for bonding with others.

    You have drawn this card to reinforce your belief in a loving Universe and to awaken new channels through which you can use the Universe’s love to strengthen your ties with other people, with animals and other living things, and with the work that you offer a service to humanity and the planet.

    You may be experiencing, or are about to experience, an accelerated period of spiritual growth and breakthrough in which your definition of love will change. Still, you are encouraged to maintain your trust and belief in yourself as a worthy and effective vehicle of positive action. Whatever your fears, whatever your insecurities, the angels are working with you to bring you into greater clarity with the nature of love.
