In the last few days, my Mum in Spirit has found some very concrete ways of letting me know that she’s around....the third one really blew my mind 🤍
The first was when I was walking along the beach after hearing of a recent su***de. I was feeling emotional and sending thoughts out to the person who had passed when I came upon this beautiful heart shape in the sand.
(Incidentally, this was the same beach where my mom left a heart-shaped balloon for me last year. It looked like a piece of garbage at first, but when I picked it up it said, “I Love You" just after I had been asking if she was around).
The next was while walking through the forest with my son, having some really lovely bonding time and thinking of her. I turned around and saw this heart-shaped tree trunk.
Then the following day, I was sharing some good news with my son while filling my water bottle. I let it overflow (as I frequently do 😂), and when I picked the bottle up to drink some so it wasn't so full this was the shape of the puddle left on the counter. Not perfect, but very clearly a heart!
Each one on its own might seem small to someone else, but when things happen this consistently, in moments filled with emotion, connection, love, or meaning… you just know. I never cease to be amazed and grateful at the ways my Mum let's me know she's around. Every time it lifts my day. She really is a wonderful person. 🥰
