I know, I know… Valentine’s day is this week BUT my story is about the LOVE I have for these wonderful birds who helped me out a few Thanksgivings ago. This Holiday of Love can be expressed in so many ways since it encompasses so many feelings. Love is in all things so no, it isn’t necessarily romantic which made me want to share this amazing experience with all of you. I feel it is perfect for anyone intentionally working with the Universe and manifesting true signs—all from a genuine place of Love!
That brings us to a few years back when I hosted Thanksgiving for the first time in several years. I was kinda nervous even though it’s with my family but hosting really isn’t a gig I like as discussed previously. Obligations–sometimes but this year I actually wanted to put all of it together with my own turkey, stuffing, and anything else. During my morning meditation, I OF COURSE asked for extra special guidance that day just to feel calm and let my emotions run smooth despite family “drama.” It always seems to ensue. I never used to ask for specific “signs” at all as evidenced with my book Spirit and Belief but this day, I felt compelled considering the family dynamics…. I didn’t ask for anything particular really but just a sign sent up to the Universe to let me know they all had my back that day. The important thing was that I let it go and got on with my very busy morning.
While in my kitchen a few hours later doing some yoga as the turkey was cooking, I noticed some birds coming into the yard. First off, I practice yoga and hate when I miss a day so yes— I even was using my mat! Sometimes, birds come randomly and it does seem like quite a few. That Thanksgiving Day though the birds came in like a massive swarm. I just kinda laughed it off at first thinking no big deal although my mind was wandering as to the amount of birds. This was A LOT more than usual and some were in the grass, on our split rail fence, flying around the patio, and by our flower planter. Hmmm… I had a “birds -eye” view! Just had to say that! It was so funny being able to see them all right out my kitchen window! I then realized how this was my SIGN! I just couldn’t believe it but then remembered all the great bird stuff that happened to me in that summer of 2016 and another great story a few months prior of birds in my pear tree. That story involved me getting my first blog started called: “The Blackbirds” in:
http://www.mywarriorwritings.com
It was then that one of the women in my family entered the room. I thought to myself: “uh, oh, what is she going to say about this?” She can be very negative at times and wasn’t gonna steal this moment for me! Classic case of labeling and expectations but we all do it anyway… Well, I gotta say she pleasantly surprised me with her reaction! Pure laughter and delight from her as the comments were all positive and funny. Um, who is this and what have you done with the ACTUAL person I know? This clearly was not a reaction I expected out of her at all and she said this to me:
“Well, I guess the birds knew this was the time to come visit your house!”
No joke! Totally left me stunned and shocked but excited to hear her comments since it filled her with joy as well. She needed that. I needed that. Totally floored….. That brings us to the next woman who I expected to have a positive reaction when she DIDN’T! All she commented on was how the dumb birds were probably going to poop all over her car which was parked nowhere near them at all. She also mentioned someone else’s car too. Grrrr….. She asked questions about why there were so many as it wasn’t spring when they’re all over the soft ground getting worms and all that. As frustration filled my heart, I only said one statement to her and then quietly left the room. I needed to after that. I briefly replied how much I love the birds who weren’t doing anything wrong and I was so glad they were out there. They were making my day happy! No response back and I left feeling a little lighter while still chuckling about the birds. They stayed longer that I thought and then as if by magic, they all flew away simultaneously.
The rest of the day was still filled with weird dynamics but I felt better without giving in to their drama. Those birds made all the difference and since some became my sign that summer, it really didn’t surprise me how they returned for some extra LOVE that Thanksgiving Day of almost 3 years ago. Ask for those signs Spirit Friends! We all need them and if yours is a constant, you’ll know. If not, keep going and with some time and patience, it’ll come. Once I got more confident with asking, the Universe probably was jumping up and down yelling YAY!!!! This Valentine’s Day my wish is that you practice it however you want. You can even practice self-love by doing something for yourself. I even know some women who have done yoga and call it “GALentine’s Day.” Date yourself! Be grateful for all the Universe has done and given you. You can even thank the birds!!!
