Good morning 🌞 Happy !
What are you feeling grateful for today? 🙏
Today I am grateful for this reminder. Thank you Cheryl Richardson 🥰🙏🪽
~*~ Calling all angels
I stood at the window, looking out over the piles of snow in our driveway that blocked the view of our front yard. After the last storm, so much snow had fallen that the embankments were well over 5 feet high.
We need to find a way to move some of this, I thought to myself, or we’re going to have a tough time finding space during the next storm. Not five minutes later, the text chime went off on my phone. I looked down to see a message from the man who mows our lawn during the summer:
“We’re moving snow in your neighborhood tomorrow, and I’m wondering if you’d like any relocated?”
I glanced at the statue of an angel sitting atop a nearby shelf and chuckled as I sat down to reply to his message. By the following afternoon, the snow had been cleared just in time for another six inches to blow in the next day.
Last week, during a Zoom visit with my friend Anna who lives in a small village in Sweden, she shared a similar story. “Two of my closest friends are moving away and when I heard the news, I was upset because we are close and so few people speak English here. But then the funniest thing happened. While waiting at the dentist, I struck up a pleasant conversation with a woman sitting next to me who, as it turned out, had just relocated here from America. We hit it off straight away and are meeting for lunch next week.”
Lately, I’ve noticed this pattern of Life supporting me in unexpected ways. After unsuccessfully trying to find a vet who would come to our home to care for our cats so I could avoid hearing their painful howls while in the car, I finally gave up. No one traveled to our small town and I resigned myself to having to accept the drive. Then, last week, a notice appeared on our local page from a new vet who just moved to the area and makes house calls.
When I saw the notice, the first thing I did was say, “Thank you,” to Life. Thank you for the support. Thank you for reminding me that unseen forces are at work on my behalf. Thank you for inspiring me to pay attention, to acknowledge the ways in which Life stands ready to help, and to ask for assistance from this realm when I need it.
Now you might think I’m crazy or naïve for believing in unseen forces. Maybe you’re convinced that humans are meaning-making machines who give synchronicity more power than it deserves. But I could spend a whole year publishing blogs about the remarkable ways Life has shown up for me. I have all the evidence I need to rely on these unseen forces. I just have to remember they exist.
During these tumultuous times, if you wake up wondering what kind of crisis you’ll face today, I hope you’ll remember this, too: There is much more to life than what you can see, hear, touch, taste, or smell. There is an infinite intelligence available to guide and support you. Ask for evidence. Notice when even the smallest gift appears. Then be grateful. Really grateful. And tell the story to someone you love because chances are they need a reminder, too.
Love,
Cheryl
