  • 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.

  • 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!”

  • Hummingbird: He is All Around Me

    Her younger brother had recently transitioned with cancer. She had been watching a particular hummingbird with a strong sense of her brother.

    All of a sudden, the hummingbird came over and landed on a plant stand two feet from her! He stopped flapping his wings and sat looking at her.

    He was black with an orange neck. Orange is the ribbon color for kidney cancer like pink is the ribbon color for breast cancer.

    She knew her brother to be in a wonderful place. He let her know that one more time.

    She said, “I miss him physically, but spiritually he is all around me.”
