Have you ever received messages, which were always delivered to you in a similar way, and which you were certain came from a person once in your family, who was now deceased? I have. In particular, I have received such messages from my brother approximately half a dozen times since he died. How do they begin? Always exactly the same way. I will be listening to a radio, usually in my car, and I hear a specific song twice in a row. When that happens my mind kicks in to high alert. I pay attention to every one and every thing around me. And I clear my mind of whatever I have been thinking, and I allow myself to be as open and receptive to what ever it is I need to discover or learn about. These occasions have always, one hundred percent of the time, proved pivotal in my life. Something always happens which is life changing. And when I say life changing, I mean just that. Old doors close, new doors open, insights sit on my porch, and I find myself on the path of new transformations. Such an event recently happened to me. I was driving through the nearby town of Belen, that song played, then when it finished, I changed the channel, and it played all over again. As in the past, I let the day play out, and I followed my senses. Today I am transforming pain into happiness. And without pain, there would be no happiness. Life is wonderful, but so is the ability to remain in communication with those who have left us. They do speak to us, I believe this with all my spirit and soul. If experience is proof, I do have proof. And when our departed loved ones find it important enough to speak to us, we are wise to pay attention and learn.
