Goodbye 2010

I am truly blessed! 2010 was nice. We got a new puppy in May - Honey Combs! Chad & I celebrated our 1 year anniversary. We had a wonderful visit with Kelsey & Brett this past summer - went to Coney Island for the first time with them. Ventured out to Brooklyn for some of the best pizza and italian ice cream in town - Spumoni Gardens! We learned to meditate and have gotten so much out of it! Chad got several websites live.... I settled into the challenge of taking care of two properties instead of one! We've organized our debt to be gone in just a few short years! I've come into contact with some amazing people/organizations/blogs/networking channels this past year! This list is just too long to name everyone and thing, but I will name a few: new Mary friend connections, Synchronicity blog, "Her Future" friends, The SynchroProject.Org, Jim Fargiano.......etc! We ended the new year with a new TV and new furniture that was long overdue.

I feel very confident that 2011 is going to be great! It just keeps getting better and better and through it all I have my amazing synchronicities and signs. My world is opening and the holes in my heart are being filled!

I KNOW my sister is still with me and I am so grateful for all the signs! I love my life and am grateful for EVERYTHING and EVERYONE!

Seahorses ~Seahorses~ Seahorses

If you knew Mary, you knew she loved the Seahorse!

I met a new friend through my work a year ago. Danielle! We connected instantly by the common interest in the 11:11 signs. When she gave me her e-mail address my jaw almost dropped. I knew we were meant to be friends. Her e-mail was seahorse@...com! I told her my sister looooved Seahorses. (I was a little amazed because I've never met anyone else who loved seahorses.) There are some things about her that remind me of Mary, she also loves loves loves animals like Mary did. She is beautiful and short like Mary too :)! Anyway, we became instant friends, but don't get to hang out or even talk very much due to life's busy demands. I saw her before Christmas and she brought me this beautiful Seahorse Christmas ornament. I couldn't believe she remembered!!! We hadn't talked about the Seahorse since the first day we met. She said she saw this and had to get it for me. Tears came to her eyes. Somehow my friend Danielle and I are connected! I am so blessed to have the sweet souls brought into my life. I know its not a coincidence at all... none of it is!

I sent a picture of this seahorse ornament to Kelsey and this is what she text back to me:

"i love the seahorse!!! its soooo prettty!!

and mom would have probably spazzzed over it ;)!"

Mary is with us... she shows me all the time! Here is a Seahorse I saw from SouthStreet Seaport in NYC :


Here on the Boardwalk at Jones Beach on Long Island:

Thank you Danielle for remembering our Seahorse! You are a friend sent from above......

Mary Cardinal Christmas

It's the day after Christmas, with Mary in our hearts.

Little brother David brings a gift to her grave!

Sorry you couldn't see her kids David.... it was good you tried! That's what counts.

As he was placing the little cardinals on her stone, I had a couple cardinal visits on my own:

Can you see the female in the middle of the tree?

Sweet Christmas 2010

Can you see the orb with us on Christmas?

Hmmmm, wonder who it could be :)~

I just love this sugar cookie "Merry Christmas"

~ I know Mary would too...

That is why I insisted to blog it. For my Mary!

Isn't this sweet? Mary's friend Laurie has Mary in her tree surrounded

by the beautiful cardinals and dove above her head!

M-A-R-Y - Goooooo Mary!

Dancin' ~ Cheerin'
Mary did it all!

I remember Mary's freshman year, she was so torn between trying out for dance team (following in my footsteps) or cheerleading!

Well, she ended up doing both throughout her HS years! She tried the dance team thing her sophomore year (along with bleach blonde hair - which we fixed pretty quick and laughed about it years later).

Dance team just didn't seem right, soooo, she Cheerleaded into her Senior year.

She was so good! She flipped and flopped and tumbled and jumped and yelled and smiled and cheered her little heart out.... she was right at home!

Mary was a natural born cheerleader......
her energy, smile and enthusiasm was so contagious!

She looks like a little cardinal in these pictures. Pretty ironic isn't it?

Cardinal Explosion

A Cardinal Holiday display made with thoughts of me from my dear friend
Elizabeth in San Antonio. Memories we have from so long ago,
a connection we have all the way to the soul!
What a beautiful gift ~ A cardinal explosion just for me!
Elizabeth's thoughtfulness brought a smile straight from my heart
and brightened my day!
So much love.......

Happy Birthday Dad

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD

You may no longer be alive on earth,
but you are always alive in my Heart!
I am who I am today because of you!

I love you!

Me

A friend had this picture and poem on her FB wall & I had to borrow it....

it just reminded me sooooo much of ME!

Wow ~ Thanks S. St. Claire....

I live my life through peace.
I live my life allowing wisdom to dictate my thoughts.
I live my life in control of my emotions and actions.
I live my life through balance and order.
I live my life through knowing that I control my positive and negative outcomes.
I live through knowing I am a divine being in control of my imagination.
I live my life through sacrifice and devotion, allowing God to use me as a vessel.
I live my life through life-giving words and loving relationships.

ME!

Morning Signs

I didn't know it was going to be a wonderful day when I woke up. But the signs began when I took my pup out for her morning walk at 6 a.m.

Signs, Signs, signs... You are with me!

I heard you in the dark of the morning my sweet little cardinal friends and again at the exit of my community as I left for work!

I feel you!

I started my iPod to play music... Without me choosing , it played on it's own random sequence a song for Brett (Journey), a song for Mary (PDiddy), a song for Chad and I (Whitney) & a song for Kelsey (Rihanna)!

I hear you!!!

I arrive above ground from my subway journey to work this morning to find a flock of at least two dozen pigeons flying above my head in a beautiful sequence. They flew like this 3 times and landed on the art on the wall of my building!

I see you!

Kind of amazing....I thought of two people this morning I hadn't heard from in awhile and got a post on my FB wall from one & a friend request from the other!!!
