Cardinal of Hope

 

Life can be so harsh at times. the words that you speak, the actions that you take and the thoughts that you think are the ones that add kindness and compassion to the world.
Your gentle words inspire someone to hold onto hope.
You make a difference.
Remember that as you walk this journey.

Elizabeth Smart ~Incredible young lady I admire with all my ❤!

An angel on earth.

 

"I have learned that my challenges can help me reach out to others with  more empathy and understanding than i could ever have had before.
When we are faced with a challenge,  it is very easy to be mad or upset. But when we have passed our great test, we are able to effect change in a way that otherwise we wouldn't have been able to.
Because of things I have lived through, I can help them to learn to be happy.  Because I have lived through these experiences, I am able to be a voice for change.  If I hadn't had this terrible experience, I'm not sure that I would have cared enough about these issues to become involved, I wouldn't be able to do the many things that I've been able to do....
I am grateful for these opportunities that I've had to help other people. They have blessed my life."

Another Magical day of Signs

The picture is of the price of my meal today $18.88 (888 haha) - this was right after I finished re financing my car loan on- line saving $$.   I've heard that 888 symbolizes money.

On my way driving home from the restaurant where I picked up our food a most amazing sequence of license plates seemed to have a fun message JUST FOR ME.  There must have been a dozen cars parked on the busy road in front of a popular kids themepark..... I wasn't driving very fast but fast enough to where I couldn't take pictures.  First off I saw a moving car with "888" on it then immediately after the amazing sequence began - they were on 4 different license plates of those parked cars: "888", "Jen", "loan", "888"!!!!  If I didn't have hot food in my car I would have circled around to somehow grab the pictures.  I so wish I had...... it's surreal!

I parked my car and happened to look at the mileage, would you believe the mileage ended in 555:

Then as if that wasn't enough magic in one hour.......... when I got home I found a random shiny penny in my closet then......

 

A random bird feather in my house!!!!  

Kelsey - Homecoming 2013

Mary would be so proud..... her lil angel got elected to be on the Homecoming court!

 Kelsey sparkled so beautifully dressed in pink. 

This picture reminded me of her mom in my dream back in 2008.

The dream I'll never forget as long as I live. 

Mary was so beautiful in this dream - just as Kelsey is here.

 

The next night was the Homecoming dance...

I just love her choice of color and style here in the green! 

Kelsey is a true gem that sparkles with pure love!

333 - a day of wonder

 

I really don't look for these fun little signs - they just happen and I catch them in that perfect moment and then I giggle to myself and say "Hi Angels - thank you for being here"! Sometimes I wonder what they really mean.  I believe its my angels making themselves known.  Maybe my sister, maybe my dad, maybe my Grandma or Uncle Ricky or Mama K or who knows, maybe just some of God's Angels that are assigned to me, I really don't try to figure it out..... there are so many different theories out there my mind spins.  I just enjoy and believe that someday if I am to know, then I will.  Until then I'll just keep believing my angels are whispering to me showing me I'm never alone! Besides, it makes me giggle inside and from what I've been told, laughter is the key to a happy soul!

 

 These 333's were all in one day  :) ~

 

Magical Day of Signs

Today was a magical day... it started in the morning  as I was headed to the train station:  First I saw 444 on a cars license plate headed in my direction, then a cardinal flew right across my path in front of my wind shield - it was a beautiful burst of red that made me giggle with joy & then immediately after the cardinal passed, the song "I belong to you, you belong with me" came on the radio (which reminds me of my sister) - then I happen to see my odometer and it was with 1111!!!!

I felt the presence of love in these precious moments......

It was a beautiful day in NYC and I decided to take a walk during lunch - I had a few errands I needed to do.  As I was crossing the busy street I silently asked ArchAngel Michael to be with me and keep me safe (as I do periodically throughout my day) and just as I finished my thought I happened to look to the ground and right in my path was a beautiful white feather for me.

I was thinking I wanted to have a juice today but really wanted to try some place different - my body was actually craving some refreshing nutrients (cucumber, kale, spinach, celery, green apple, parsley & ginger root)!  Out of nowhere on my journey to my first destination I saw that a new store opened up "Liquiteria" - a beautiful juice bar full of many healthy choices.

I just love it when everything falls into place and it feels like my thoughts are being heard.....

Another white feather appeared:

THEN, I came across this sweet little thrift shop "Angel Street" on W. 17th in NYC - how appropriate on this magical day!

Angels, signs and love from above ~ making it a magical day!
