22 Blue Jay Feathers

As I was walking our yard, I prayed for inner guidance and strength in sending me “the knowing” to facilitate my dream.  Asking and asking and asking, calling in Mom, Gram, Gramp and all of my guides to allow me to be the confident child again, like I once was when Mom was here to give me the ok with her words, telling me to go for it.  What do you have to lose, your doing it and so forth.
I start to climb our hill in our yard after leaving our woods, praying and asking.  I couldn’t believe my eyes.  A pile of 22 Blue Jay feathers were just in front of my next step.  Wow, as I bent down counting them, I collected them and thanked all my guides.  I knew, without a doubt that my prayers were heard.  My Mom’s anniversary of her leaving us is coming up on September 28, ’07.  It will be 4 years and a day does not pass with me just thanking her for those gifts that she left with me.  She taught me about feathers and just the love that we shared gave me that inner strength and that is truly the meaning of life.  Love and Forgiveness is key.  Surround your soul with this every day and you too will be rewarded with gifts from far away.  Today is a Harvest Full Moon and it makes it very powerful.  I know I am blessed in more ways than one.  Live, Love, Laugh, that’s what we’re here for.  Thanks for the gifts.
After my walk, I was cutting down my huge sunflowers, gathering them to feed the birds.  I was cutting the base of the plant and what appeared on the stem of the plant next to the sunflowers was a white frog.  I said, “where did you come from?”  I never saw a white frog in my life.  It just hung on the stem watching me clip the other plants.  After watering all of what’s left of my beautiful summer flowers, I prepared to get ready for work.  Driving down my driveway, saying to myself, Meg, stop going outside with all of your questions and getting your answers.  You know the answers are within and you tell everyone the same.  SO GO WITHIN!  It’s the KNOWING that works. Just that moment, I saw a huge white something flash in front of my right side of my car.  I stopped and asked myself, “what’s that?” and I just waited.  Well, then a huge Hawk came up from the right side of my car and flew across my windshield and landed a foot away from me on a branch of a tree and it just stayed looking at me, proud and majestic.  I really couldn’t believe how close it was and how this Bird of Prey presented itself to me, while I kept reciting in my mind, Meg, remember you and Mom would always say, whatever the question, you know your answer, just go within.  I couldn’t stay watching my messenger on the limb anymore because I had to open my shop.
When I arrived at my store, one of my favorite people was waiting for me to arrive, a very, very wise and full of wisdom gentleman.  I shared my story with him and he even said to me, when we are working on things in our life, we do have fears.  He explained to me that we have fears of success and fears of failing.  See what I mean, I just want to go back to my child days within, where I just took the leap of faith and dove in.  Whatever is, is.  I do know the steps to take just keep climbing them and look to the source of the Great Messenger, “The Hawk”, with a keen sense of wisdom, strength and resources that it is.
Thank you for the gifts!  The Harvest Moon, Full Moon is this evening.  I can’t wait to see what the evening brings.
With love, light and gratitude,
Meg
