Living and Loving
She was trying desperately to get to see her grandmother before she passed. On the highway she drove into a flock of white doves. She felt profound peace and she had the thought that her grandmother had passed.
And she had….

Her dad loved playing the guitar and he had always encouraged her to learn to play. She was not at all drawn to it.
When her dad passed, he left the guitar to her.
A few months later, she felt compelled to pick the guitar up. She felt so close to her dad. She began taking lessons.
Every time she plays the guitar she feels her dad’s loving presence!
When we enjoy things our loved ones in spirit enjoy, we are all blessed….

It was not the one they thought they wanted, but she called the number on the “For Sale” sign in the front window as her husband walked around the outside of the manufactured home. The man who answered the phone said he could be there in about ten minutes.
“This was my mom’s home. She passed and I am here from California needing to sell it,” he told them.
“My mother-in-law passed a year and a half ago, so we understand how hard that is. When did your mom pass?” she asked him.
“My mom passed on May 20th,” he answered.
“My mom passed on May 20th, 2003,” she shared.
“My mom’s funeral was on May 23rd,” he continued.
“My mom’s funeral was on May 23rd!” she blurted out.
Walking in the front door, they loved the home immediately. Giving him verbal agreement to purchase the home she left with a copy of the paperwork detailing the original purchase of the home. Looking it over later that evening she noticed the purchase date: May 20!
You can imagine these two mothers were working in spirit to bring things together around this home for their children.

She had kept the interfaith menorah with the tall glass oil lamps in her basement for 12 years. Made especially for them by a Carmelite nun, it was a very powerful presence for their interfaith fellowship but the center where their group met had closed in 2005. Downsizing her home now there was no place to store it. She was so relieved Interfaith Center for Spiritual Growth, located several hours drive away in Ann Arbor, had spoken of wanting one and would be glad to have it!
“Let’s be open to an easy way of getting it safely to you,” she said to the director of the center.
The following week a friend from Florida was visiting. Chatting about his schedule, he said he would be going to Ann Arbor.
“I have an interfaith menorah I need to get to Ann Arbor.” He was willing to take it so they began exploring what made sense about him dropping it off or having someone pick it up she asked him the address where he would be staying.
“My cousin lives on Pauline Court,” he said.
She made a call to the director of the center and was told a member of the interfaith group lived on Pauline Court and could easily pick the menorah up.
Her friend was very amazed at the ease of delivery and he mused, “What are the odds? Pauline Court is just a short little street….”

The end of the movie really didn’t make sense to her, so when she took a friend who was having some very hurtful family dynamics to see it (thinking it would be healing for her) she was also looking forward to having an opportunity to maybe understand that last scene.
When she watched the movie the second time with her friend, that scene was not in the movie.
She realized immediately the mystical experience working to get her to bring her friend, who was affected by the film.

The carpet cleaning company her husband had called days ago had still not returned his call. They needed to get the carpet in the house they just purchased before moving stuff in from their current home to get it staged. Expressing her angst, the man they purchased the new home from told her he had an estimate from someone who was working at the home of a neighbor a few weeks earlier.
Placing a call to Stanley Steemer she referenced that estimate and explained the circumstances.
The carpet cleaning was scheduled for late that same day! Schooled to always note the name of the person in case of any future questions regarding the service, she asked the name of the woman who was helping her.
They were both surprised and delighted to discover they had the same first and middle name—even spelled the exact same way!

Sunday was the first night she spent in her new home. Awake Monday at 3:30 am her mind went to all the unpacking still needing to be done. She got up and quietly worked in the master bathroom as her husband slept in the adjacent bedroom. Sorting the significant assortment of sample-sized dental floss her eyes landed on one very unusual one.
Her breath stopped. Tears of joy trickled down her cheeks.
Her very dear friend had just given birth to a baby girl late Saturday night. This was an especially significant birth since this mom had a twin daughter live only three-and-one-half days 20 months prior.
At 8:28 am, the new mom sent her a text message, “How was night #1?”
“I could ask you the same thing!” she responded. “Mine was good, but short. I resisted the urge to send a text message to you at 4:00 am while I was up organizing the master bathroom and found this:”
“LOL. I was up!”
This precious new baby girl’s name is Iris!
