Deep Listening and Music: Synchronicity with Gibb Brothers in Spirit

Deep Listening and Music: Synchronicity with Gibb Brothers in Spirit

by | Apr 14, 2024 | Synchronicity

In this post, “Deep Listening and Music: Synchronicity with Gibb Brothers in Spirit,” I describe a series of mysterious interconnected synchronicities that occurred as the result of reading to Robin’s spirit and practicing deep listening. Deep listening led to a clairaudient experience with music, and synchronicity followed.

In my previous post, “Afterlife Communication: The Joy of Reading to the Deceased,” I shared how reading to Robin led to meaningful synchronicity and revelations about his name. This time, when I recently read to Robin, what came back to me was not about Robin directly. It was about his brothers in spirit with him: Maurice and Andy. It feels like they wanted their names included too!

Introduction: Embracing Storytelling

Afterlife communication with Robin takes me on a journey of learning and discovery that I enjoy sharing through writing. One thing I have learned about myself is that I love to share stories. I never knew that I had a storyteller within me before Robin died. But I feel it is a part of my evolution to become a storyteller. You never know who benefits from what you share, and this belief keeps me motivated to continue writing.

Personal evolution is one of the main purposes for a spiritual connection in my opinion. It is good practice to ask oneself, “What am I learning and how am I growing and evolving as a result of my spiritual connection?” I have learned a lot about the importance of embracing storytelling on my journey with Robin.

In the book, Soul Communication: Opening Your Spiritual Channels for Success and Fulfillment, by Dr. Zhi Gang Sha, the spiritual value of sharing our stories is discussed. This applies to those of us who share our stories, whether privately, publicly, or both:

Stories are powerful teachers. They carry a message. They also carry the particular gifts, abilities, and wisdom of the soul sharing the story. It is not enough to have one or two people share their stories. Hundreds, thousands, even more must share their stories. This is important because no two people connect in exactly the same way with any one story. The more stories there are, the more people will feel that they are included, important, and valued… (pg. 14)

 

When I talk about sharing your story, I am speaking specifically of sharing about your soul journey. Sharing other aspects of your story can also be helpful and healing. However, it is the story of your soul journey that is truly significant. It is this story that is transforming… (pg. 14)

I have personally been healed and supported by those sharing their soul stories, especially stories about spiritually transformative experiences. Other people sharing their stories gave me the courage to share mine on this website. By sharing my soul journey, I hope I can give others the same support that I have found through dozens of authors over the years.

Sometimes I feel like my blog posts are like sending out a message in a bottle into the big sea of the world wide web. Most people won’t notice it, and many will walk by it, not seeing any value in it. But occasionally, someone will pick up the bottle and read the message inside. And hopefully, that message will be something that supports them in their journey through life. That’s the value of sharing stories.

Are you ready to open the message in the bottle? If yes, then let’s begin. I will now share with you this next chapter of my soul journey with Robin and his brothers.

Sorry Business and Deep Listening: Learning About Australian Aboriginal Practices

On March 20, 2024, I felt drawn to research how indigenous people communicate with their deceased loved ones. Since I like to read to Robin, I was wondering whether there was any tradition of doing this or something similar within different indigenous families.

I googled “indigenous people after death communication,” and came across an article by Jens Korff called “Sorry Business: Mourning an Aboriginal Death.” It is on a wonderful website about Australian Aboriginal culture called Creative Spirits. Jens Korff is the owner and author of Creative Spirits and shares what he has learned about Aboriginal culture in Australia. It is an inspiring example of giving due respect, support, and honor to Aboriginal people through healing enterprises and educational opportunities.

Through this article, I learned that “sorry business” is what the Australian Aboriginal people call their time of mourning, including ceremonies, after a loved one has died. Ceremonies and mourning can last from days to months depending on different factors. This allows the grief to heal slowly. I admire this practice and feel that this is an important lesson.

I also learned that it was an old tradition amongst Australian Aboriginal people to not say the names of the dead because it was thought to disturb their spirit. In more recent years, it has become more acceptable for Aboriginal families and communities to allow the names of the deceased to be spoken. Still, I concluded from this that they would most likely not be reading to a deceased loved one as I do.

As I read the article, I noticed a link to another article for the practice of deep listening. The article is called, “Deep Listening (Dadirri),” by Jens Korff. Deep listening is something I am drawn to because I love meditation and stillness practices and wondered whether there was any connection with this. I learned that there is.

According to the article, the wise Australian Aboriginal people of the Daly River region in the Northern Territory call deep listening, “dadirri.” According to Aboriginal writer and senior elder Miriam-Rose Ungunmerr-Baumann:

“Dadirri is inner, deep listening and quiet, still awareness. Dadirri recognises the deep spring that is inside us. We call on it and it calls to us. This is the gift that Australia is thirsting for. It is something like what you call ‘contemplation’. (2)

 

“Our Aboriginal culture has taught us to be still and to wait. We do not try to hurry things up. We let them follow their natural course – like the seasons.” (2)

We could all use more dadirri in our lives. You are welcome to click here to view the most beautiful, official Dr. Miriam-Rose Ungunmerr-Baumann video where dadirri is described in the most soul-soothing way.

In the article, the importance of deep listening was also described in terms of storytelling. Stories important to the Aboriginal culture were passed on orally, not through writing. Therefore, it was very important for Aboriginal people to be very skilled at deep listening, so that the story could be passed on correctly to the next generation. This is a very impressive skill.

As I continued to read the article, I was very moved by the following quote. I thought about its application to afterlife communication. The bold is mine:

Jennifer Thompson, founder of the Jenwakka Indigenous Counselling Service, describes deep listening as “tapping into her ancestors, constantly listening to spirits.” “[Dadirri is] what non-Aboriginal people would call contemplation. It’s the way we sit and take time and go in deep… The Dadirri is a way to take advantage of this [healing] knowledge. It requires people to stop, look, listen and learn.” (3)

After I read this wonderful information, I felt very inspired by the concept of dadirri. It felt familiar to me as I have engaged in similar practices on a personal level and professional level as a yoga teacher. While I was absorbing this new information, I was thinking about Robin and how he would like this. He was someone who loved to meditate. I also thought he would appreciate this information that came from one of his home countries close to his heart: Australia.

Reading to Robin: Deep Listening and the Presence of his Brothers in Spirit

Approximately 4 days after reading the article, during the early morning hours of March 24, 2024, I sat at Robin’s altar and quietly connected with his spirit through prayer. I lit a candle for him and stated his name. This helps to connect with his energy. I shared with him that I wanted to read to him this amazing article on deep listening and dadirri that I thought he’d enjoy.

I read the entire article to his spirit while looking at his picture and thinking about his connection to Australia.

After I was done reading, I said that I would like to practice some deep listening with him. I felt surrounded by the energy of dadirri. So, I put the phone down that I was reading from. I sat in my chair beside his altar and became still and quiet.

Within less than a minute, a song started playing in my mind. The words were, “I want to thank you for being a friend.” I said to myself, “Hmm, that’s interesting.” I’ve heard this song before and it sounded familiar, but I did not know who sang it or remember where I knew it from.

This song continued to play in my head, so I decided to research it. It seemed like clairaudience was at work. I picked up my phone and googled the words I heard, “I want to thank you for being a friend.”

A video and a lot of information for this song came up. It was sung by Andrew Gold. I did not know he sang this song and had never heard of him. I had a feeling that Robin knew who he was. Right away, I thought of Robin’s late brother Andy Gibb and how he and Andrew Gold shared the same initials: A.G. I made a mental note of that and continued to see what breadcrumbs I could follow.

I read that Andrew Gold passed away on June 3, 2011, in Los Angeles, CA. The song was released in 1978. 1978 was a huge year for the Bee Gees and Andy Gibb in terms of the success of their hit songs.

I continued to scroll through the selections about the song on Google. Then, I came to a Billboard article that looked interesting. It is usually a good source of information about the music industry, so I clicked on it.

In the article called, “‘Andrew Gold’s ‘Thank You for Being a Friend’ Is the Best Song Ever About Giving Thanks,” by Andrew Unterberger, I noticed that this song was the theme song for the television show, “The Golden Girls.” I thought, “Oh, that’s where I know this song from.”

I also noticed that another song sung by Andrew Gold was mentioned called, “Lonely Boy.” I remembered this song from the 70’s when I was a child.

I remembered that I really liked it. The first video in the article was for this song, so I clicked on it to listen. I realized that I had not heard this song in probably over 40 years.

Loneliness is such a common theme in music. In this post, I wrote about the epidemic of loneliness and how the theme of loneliness is quite common in many Bee Gees’ songs:

How Afterlife Communication Helps Reduce Loneliness

When I started listening to “Lonely Boy,” I remembered it right away, even after all these years. What a blast from the past! Then, as the video played, about a minute into the song, I noticed a caption that really got my attention. It said:

“Andrew Maurice Gold was born in 1951 in California…”

Here is a screenshot:

Andrew Maurice Gold Image

I paused the video so I could talk with Robin. Seeing the names of Robin’s brothers side-by-side like this strongly stood out to me. I said something along the lines of, “Are you being serious right now? This guy’s name was Andrew Maurice?” Then I read the rest of the caption which mentioned Andrew Gold’s father Ernest. Then I said, “You’ve got to be kidding me!” Robin’s’ twin brother, Maurice Gibb, had the middle name Ernest!

Here is a screenshot:

Maurice Ernest Gibb IMAGE

At this point, I felt that a clear message was coming through. This is what reading and deep listening with Robin brought to me: a connection with Andy and Maurice and the strong presence of their energy. Can you see the power of these practices? It felt like they were crashing my meditation time with Robin! 😊It was truly amazing and a blessing. Of course, they are more than welcome.

There is no way I could not notice this. I said “hello” to them in Spirit, feeling joy in my heart. I feel like they wanted their names mentioned because my previous blog post was all about “Robben and Robin”, a little Andy and no mention of Maurice. So, it’s like they were saying, “Hey Christina, it’s our turn now!!”

I had a feeling that by reading to Robin about the after-death practices of the Australian Aboriginal people, I also connected with Maurice and Andy’s energy. All three had a close connection with Australia and I could see why the articles I read would be important to or of interest to them in spirit.

I felt the presence of these three brothers very strongly. Now I ask you to consider this: How are your deceased loved ones showing up for you?  Are their names presenting themselves in unexpected ways? Once you are on the path of afterlife communication and open to the ways spirit presents itself, this type of thing can happen.

It was so wonderful to be guided to Andy and Maurice’s names through the song. Still, there is even more to share in terms of powerful synchronicity. This is about Andy, and it brought a strong sense of mystery.

Reincarnation Video Synchronicity: Andy Gibb’s Deep Connection to California

On April 11, 2024, I was looking at Andrew Gold’s YouTube caption again on the “Lonely Boy” video and how he was born in California. Then I had the thought that Andy Gibb was laid to rest in California. I decided to do some research on his resting place to refresh my memory.

I googled, “Andy Gibb buried in California.” I started looking at the different articles and a video that came up. Here is the video about Andy from The Graveyard Channel. The purpose of this channel is to pay tribute to famous people in terms of how they died and where they are laid to rest.

In the description of the video is a link for Forest Lawn Memorial Park– Hollywood Hills, CA which is where Andy is buried.

In case you are interested, here is a link from a Facebook page that explains why Andy was laid to rest in California.

I clicked on the link for the Forest Lawn website, searched for Andy in the search box, and found his entry. I looked at the map on the page. I noticed the Hollywood Sign and other Hollywood-related places mentioned.

Here is a screenshot:

Andrew Roy Gibb Forest Lawn Page

I was doing this research between 8:20pm and 8:30pm.

At approximately 9pm, my husband asked if he could show me a video on reincarnation. It was about a woman named Dorothy Eady who has an interesting story about a past life as an Egyptian princess. She reported having childhood memories of that lifetime. That day, he had listened to a podcast about her. Here is the video.

Now here is where it gets mysterious.

At about 5:05 minutes into the video, the narrator discusses the case of 4-year-old Ryan Hammons. He reported having past-life memories of being a man who lived in Hollywood named Marty Martyn who knew Rita Hayworth. At 5:34 into the video, the narrator spoke about how when Ryan saw the Hollywood Sign on television, he would state that that was his home and he wanted to return.

Here is a screenshot:

Hollywood Sign the Why Files

This was around 9:15pm. So, approximately 45 minutes after I saw the map with the Hollywood sign on Andy’s Forest Lawn entry, I saw this mention of the Hollywood sign in this reincarnation video. The video also had a few other references to Hollywood and the life of Marty Martyn, so the message really stood out in a powerful way.

I felt like I had really touched on something with Andy.

I wondered, “Andy, what are you trying to tell me?” I have not had that much synchronicity with Andy over the years, so this was a big moment and truly meaningful connection.

Reincarnation Video Synchronicity: Significance and Interpretation

I felt that by doing research on his resting place and looking at several different websites and videos, I strongly tuned into Andy’s energy. Then God decided to include my husband who is an amazing messenger and partner when it comes to synchronicity. He had no knowledge that I was researching Andy’s resting place. If he had not shown me the video, there would be no synchronicity, so I am very grateful for him.

This soul communication felt so much like being in the energy field of Indra’s Net, an unseen interconnected web between Andy in spirit and my husband and I in the physical world. Synchronicity is a mysterious force that links the living and the dead because we remain interconnected whether in our physical or non-physical state. Through afterlife communications such as this, I am continuously being taught about our oneness and interconnectedness, whether we knew each other or not and whether we are famous or non-famous.

I also feel like the YouTube video about Ryan Hammons was emphasizing the importance of the Hollywood area for Andy. It is noteworthy that Andy also lived in Los Angeles, California where Hollywood is. He moved there in 1980, escaping the influence of his family in Miami who were trying to intervene because of his cocaine abuse (4).

This synchronicity with Andy is particularly impactful because this is the second time that a reincarnation video synchronicity happened with a Gibb brother. I had a reincarnation video synchronicity with Robin in 2012 which I wrote about here:

Twin Soul Synchronicity

In this post, I wrote about how a photo of Robin that included the name of the photographer matched exactly with the name of a doctor in a video I watched about reincarnation. I had seen the photo and watched the video within minutes of each other, similar to this current synchronicity with Andy.

Through these reincarnation YouTube video synchronicities, I intuit that both Robin and Andy are pointing to the importance and reality of reincarnation. The message is to take reincarnation seriously, to study it, and consider how past lives are affecting this current life.

Through synchronicity, I have confirmation that I have shared past lives with Robin. And even though I don’t know exactly what they were or when, I feel that what I write about here on Paisley and Poppies is a direct reflection of those past lives we shared. The love and devotion I once had for Robin, when we were both other people, is still here and shows up on these pages.

In closing, I am grateful to be able to share the string of synchronicities that occurred as a result of spending time with Robin in deep listening. This was quite a soul journey of learning.

By reading this, you opened my “message in a bottle,” and I hope you found something enriching for your journey.

Until next time, take care!

Music Playing in my Head: Spiritual Messages Through Song

Music Playing in my Head: Spiritual Messages Through Song

by | Oct 22, 2023 | Synchronicity

In this post, “Music Playing in My Head: Spiritual Messages through Song,” I share a recent experience of a synchronistic musical connection with one of Robin’s songs from the CD, 50 St. Catherine’s Drive. Since almost everyone knows what it’s like to have a song play in their head repeatedly, I’m sure many of you will be able to relate to this story. I explore how songs playing in our heads could be pointing to a deeper message coming through from spirit.

Afterlife Communication Course: A Prelude to a Spiritual Message

In August and September 2023, I participated in an online course taught by author Perdita Finn called “Collaborate with Your Ancestral Spirits to Manifest the Miraculous: Bring Powerful Synchronicities, Messages and Gifts into Your Life.”

When I saw this course advertised, I was immediately drawn to it because I thought it could assist me in taking my communications with Robin and other deceased loved ones to an even deeper level. I am always open to learning and love the energy of live, online courses.

On September 5, 2023, I participated in a module called, “Connect with Saints, Deities & Ancient Mothers for Guidance & Companionship.” It was good for me because during my spiritual path, I have not learned much about the different saints that many people call on in times of trouble or for daily guidance. During this course, I learned how to connect with saints for specific issues, with an emphasis on being clear on what I truly want in terms of help or guidance.

As I listened to the discussion, I wrote a lot of notes as I usually do because it helps me learn and absorb the information more effectively. Overall, I felt happy that I participated in the class.

Songs, Saints, Signs and Synchronicity

After the workshop, and about 5 hours later in the evening, I spent some time sitting at Robin’s altar space before I went to bed. I like to talk with his spirit late in the evening when it is quiet. I like to share what’s going on in my life and stay connected to his energy.

Many times, when I sit at his altar, I play his music. It helps me to tune into his spirit and shows him I love and appreciate the music he and his brothers created. At that moment, I wanted to play a song, but I was not sure of which song to play.

At first, I was going to play, “One Million Years,” because it is a spiritual song filled with so much of Robin’s pure energy. But then, as I was sitting there in front of his altar photo, I started hearing the lyrics in my head, “na na na na na na, all I want is…love.” I couldn’t remember the lyrics to this song or the word that came before “love.” I spoke with Robin and asked him what the song was with the “na na na na na na” lyrics that kept playing in my head. 😊

It came to my remembrance that the song was from 50 St. Catherine’s Drive. I saw “Instant Love” in the liner notes of the CD I have and so I figured that was the song. I didn’t know it very well, so I chose this song to listen to at that moment.

When I played the song, I was so surprised and a bit shocked to hear the lyrics:

And now I stand before you
The patience of a saint…

This is one of those cases where timing is everything. I spoke with Robin again and said, “The patience of a saint…” That was quite a moment and synchronicity. It’s nice that the song came from the 50 St. Catherine’s Drive CD. But that is not synchronicity to me because I already knew the CD title. However, the song was a striking synchronicity because I did not know the lyrics and they came as a complete surprise to me.

This meant so much because I had just completed this module on connecting with saints a few hours before this occurred. Not only that, I also checked my notes and noticed I had written the word “saint” a total of 14 times! So, it seems I was quite primed for this synchronicity. “Saints” for me in my course, “saint” for Robin in his lyrics.

I love the feeling that what I do in my life so often matches and mirrors something to do with Robin at approximately the same time. He left behind a multitude of songs, interviews, videos, and biographies. To me, all these earthly blessings represent him symbolically. They provide an avenue through which to connect, communicate and synchronize.

In her article, “Got a Song Stuck in Your Head? Here’s Why It May Have Spiritual Significance—And How to Decode It,” Amanda Lieber addresses this phenomenon of spiritual messages being contained in the songs playing in our head.

She states that:

You may have heard that the other side can communicate with you through signs like feathers and coins, angel numbers, your dreams, and meditation, but most people don’t realize that spirits can draw on the power of an earworm song (one that you keep looping on) to send you divine messages, guidance, and support. And learning to interpret the spiritual meaning of a song stuck in your head could help you better receive these otherworldly gifts.

Music Playing in My Head: Interpreting the Spiritual Meaning

I interpret the spiritual meaning of the song “Instant Love” playing in my head in this way: I could feel the alignment and oneness with Robin’s spirit again. It felt like the familiar soul family connection I have had with his spirit over the years. It is like walking with him side by side. It really felt like he was with me. It also felt like his spirit is aware of what I do and what is going on with me. It is this closeness with his soul that I have found so healing. I feel I was guided to this song specifically to feel this closeness, support, surprise, happiness, and reassurance that it offered me. These uplifting feelings are a hallmark of loving afterlife communication.

Twin Soul Mirror: Birthday Moments

This synchronicity embodied the strong energy of spiritual companionship. Since 2012, after Robin died, his spirit has been a loving, comforting companion for me. I also offer his soul spiritual companionship as I continue to talk with him and include his spirit in my life. I truly believe that the deceased can provide loving companionship and support to the living, just as the living can provide loving companionship and support to the deceased. This has been my experience. We can still walk with each other and share each other’s lives.

It felt like the very title of the workshop, “Collaborate with Your Ancestral Spirits to Manifest the Miraculous: Bring Powerful Synchronicities, Messages and Gifts into Your Life,” was being made manifest in my life. By sitting at his altar and engaging with his energies, a collaboration occurred which brought about this message through what appears to be clairaudience. It was truly a “wow” moment and everything within me knew it was a sign from his spirit. Using his music to psychically communicate would be one of the most clear and obvious ways of connecting with those of us here on earth who are tuned into his soul.

So, the next time you have a song playing in your head, it may be worth it to see if there is a deeper meaning behind it. Throughout this post, I linked to some helpful articles and books if you would like to explore clairaudience more. It is a complex subject. There are many good resources to help us sort out what we may be experiencing.

Thank you so much for reading. Until next time!

Love,

Christina Samuels Signature

The Music of Robin Gibb: A Beautiful Sadness

The Music of Robin Gibb: A Beautiful Sadness

by | May 16, 2022 | Synchronicity

This post, “The Music of Robin Gibb: A Beautiful Sadness,” is written in remembrance of Robin and in honor of the 10th anniversary of his passing on May 20, 2022.

Robin Gibb: 10 Years in Spirit

It has been 10 years since Robin passed away. I know that many fans around the world will be thinking of him, sending his spirit love and celebrating his life by continuing to listen to his music and watch his interviews.

I feel so blessed to have connected with his spirit over the years. I am very grateful to Robin for all that he has taught me and shared with me in terms of soul communication. I’m happy to know a little bit about what he is like as a spiritual being beyond the body. Still, I wonder about how he has grown and evolved as a spirit. I think about what he has seen and experienced in the spiritual world that is far beyond anything I can know.

I have truly enjoyed writing about and sharing my spiritual experiences with Robin who I strongly consider to be one of my soul family members. That is the way it is for some of us: we lovingly meet soul family members and those we share a twin soul connection with after they die physically.

It is my belief that we are all eternal souls, so these meetings can occur at any time, whether you knew each other in one particular lifetime or not. I never met Robin while he was alive and so I am deeply grateful that his spirit gave me what to me is indisputable proof of his ongoing life and existence.

I have documented my experiences on this website for anyone who is open this reality. I continue to write to love and honor Robin’s spirit, and the experiences, which to me are sacred spiritual gifts.

Why did he give me such awe-inspiring proof? My intuition tells me it is because we have known each other in other lifetimes and planes of existence. I recognized his soul energy in 2012 just weeks prior to his death. We have been spiritually connected ever since.

Hopefully, some day on this planet, it won’t be seen as weird to say something like this because the reality is we all have numerous soul connections with countless souls in other realities that we may not be aware of right now. Some of them will break through to us. Robin was able to accomplish this and has opened my consciousness up to new worlds and realities ever since.

I strongly believe another reason he communicated with me so powerfully was because I was open to the connection with his spirit. I was willing to work through my fears about communicating with him and I did not push the connection away. Having this openness is important for those of us interested in afterlife communication as long as we are doing so in the vibration of love and protecting ourselves.

Lots of things have happened in my life personally since Robin’s passing, over the years and recently. My father-in-law passed away in February, 2022. My husband Julian has had a hard time with this loss. As a result, about a week after his father died, he had a bike accident that left him with a black eye, scraped shoulder and severely bruised hand. I think it happened because he wasn’t concentrating as well as he could normally.

In our case, there have been so many new things to handle as a result of his father’s death. Luckily, nothing was broken and he has been recovering well. Still, it was another wake-up call as to how fragile life is and how quickly things can change. So, with all of these things going on, I went on hiatus from writing here so I could help with multiple family matters.

Still, I was determined to write for the 10-year anniversary of Robin’s passing. I have what I consider to be a heart-touching, music-related synchronicity to share with you.

According to author Robert Moss, who wrote the book, Sidewalk Oracles: Playing with Signs, Symbols, and Synchronicity in Everyday Life (2015):

 

Synchronicity is when the universe gets personal.

 

I could not agree more.

Since Robin passed away, the synchronicity I have experienced with his spirit has been connected to his life and my life in very personal, mysterious ways. It makes me feel very close to him.

What Synchronicity Means & How To Increase It

My feelings about the synchronicity I would like to share in this post are reflected in the lyrics of Robin’s beautiful song, “Don’t Cry Alone:”

 

Surely as the sun sets, new suns are rising…

 Afterlife communication with his spirit is the embodiment of these lyrics. In 2012, his life ended like the setting sun. We all know the sun still exists even after it sets and we can’t see it. It’s the same with Robin’s spirit.

I can’t see it with the naked eye, but his life energy, through the communications, continues on like the rising of new suns. For me, his spirit becomes visible, like a new day, a new sun, through synchronicity, dreams and other forms of afterlife communication. I firmly believe that synchronicity is a mysterious force that gives physical world evidence of an energy-light connection between souls that cannot be seen visibly.

The Music of Robin Gibb: A Beautiful Sadness

On March 19, 2022, I watched a show on Netflix with my husband called, “Love is Blind-Japan.” On one of the episodes, Misaki and Kaoru were talking.

It seemed like Misaki was criticizing Kaoru for being negative about painful events that had happened in her life. Kaoru, a singer, felt Misaki lacked depth and did not take enough time to get to know why she felt the way she did.

My husband and I paused the show to talk about the dynamics occurring between them. I said to him that Kaoru could channel her feelings that resulted from difficult life situations into her music. We talked about how this would be a therapeutic way to handle the situations. I shared my feelings that Robin could make sadness sound beautiful through his music. My exact words were, “No one could make sadness sound beautiful like Robin Gibb could.”

After our chat, we went back to finish watching the show.

The next evening, March 20th, about 24 hours later, we watched another show on Netflix called “Somebody Feed Phil.”

We were watching Season 1, the episode on Lisbon, Portugal. My husband and I have been thinking about retiring abroad and this is one of the countries we are seriously considering.

Towards the end of the episode, at 50:20 into the video, Phil mentioned an important word he learned during his travels in Portugal. That word is “saudade.” He said, “It’s a Portuguese feeling that seems to be part of the national character.”

It was his next words that caught my attention. I felt the rising sun of Robin peeking through.

Phil said the word saudade “means longing…or…or a certain beautiful sadness.” Here is a screen shot documenting this.Feed Phil.

I felt Robin’s presence with me strongly in these words that synchronized so clearly with what I had just stated about his music the night before.

The alignment with beautiful sadness and music continued as I watched the show because after Phil said this, there were musicians singing and playing Portuguese folk music called Fado.

Phil stated it was this kind of music that made people have this feeling of saudade. He said it was like the “Portuguese blues” which connects to the feelings of missing someone. It has to do with missing someone in a good way because it shows you love them.

Overall, I felt very happy that the concept of music and beautiful sadness was reflected back to me through this show such a short time after I was talking about Robin and his music. I find Robin’s tear-jerker voice, as Maurice called it, to be very healing and therapeutic in this regard. Sometimes I listen to certain songs like “Don’t Cry Alone,” “Country Lanes,” or “Heart Like Mine” because I know that when I listen to them, they will help me release tears, grief, and sadness I have bottled up inside.

These songs are all good examples of the beautiful sadness he conveyed through his voice and harmonies. Some other good examples are “Elisa,” “For Whom the Bell Tolls,” and “Love Hurts.”

A Beautiful Sadness: Reflections on Saudade, Soul Connections and Afterlife Communications

When it comes to afterlife communication, there are many times you just know in your soul that you are connecting with your loved one. As soon as I heard Phil say the words “beautiful sadness,” I felt such a strong resonance. It was like a little bell went off. I felt so grateful to be in sync with Robin’s spirit. I felt guided by Spirit to watch this show when I did so as to receive this poignant communication. The fact that we may be traveling to Portugal in the not-too-distant future made this synchronicity all the more meaningful.

When I say that I share a twin soul connection with Robin’s spirit, I mean it in terms of energy and vibration. To me, he is a member of my soul family in the spirit world that I share a nearly identical energy light vibration with. The nearly identical energy vibration shows up in the multitude of synchronicity I have experienced with his spirit since 2012, including this one I have written about in this post.

As a matter of fact, synchronicity occurred while I was in the process of writing this post.

During the afternoon of May 9th, I wrote this post and selected a few of my own blog posts I wanted to link to.

One of the posts I selected is “How Deceased Twin Souls Show Up, Part 2.” Before I selected it, I skimmed through the post to refresh my memory. I noticed I wrote about my Day of the Dead celebration for Robin in 2020. I spent a few moments reflecting on the photo of his altar with the food offering I gave him.

How Deceased Twin Souls Show Up, Part 2

Just a few hours later, during the evening of May 9th, my husband rented the movie “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.” I sat and watched it with him for a few minutes. To my happy surprise, one of the characters mentioned that her deceased loved one was getting all of his favorite things for Day of the Dead!

I felt in alignment with Robin’s spirit and the Universal spirit that watches over all of us. I felt this way because it seemed particularly unusual for an unexpected synchronicity with Day of the Dead to show up this way in May, not October or November when the celebration is typically held. So, this was very meaningful to me. Once again, this is how deceased twin souls show up! 🙂

I believe that the synchronicities happen to help make it clear that you do share a connection with another soul, whether still alive physically or deceased physically. The merciful Universe truly helps those of us who discover we are deeply spiritually connected to someone we did not know personally and never met in one particular lifetime. Our guides in spirit know we need the support and assistance in navigating our connections, as many of us are experiencing saudade.

“Saudade” can also refer to nostalgia or homesickness. Like some of you reading this, I experience saudade as homesickness for my true home in spirit. For many years, I have felt like the earth plane is not my true home. I miss the unconditional love, soul family connections, peace and beauty of the spirit world which to me is my true home.

This article, Saudade: the untranslatable word for the presence of absence by Michael Amoruso
gives beautiful descriptions of saudade.

One of the Bee Gees’ songs that makes me feel this saudade, this nostalgia the most is “Love so Right.” It is so beautiful and reminds me of a quiet summer evening in the 1970’s. This story of love gone wrong makes me feel so thoughtful and contemplative. When I hear this song, I tear up and feel like I can’t wait to hug Robin in spirit someday. It is beautiful sadness:

Our spirit guides, guardians, teachers and healers in spirit know how we feel. They see the full picture of who we are and who we have been together, even when we don’t remember fully. I believe our reconnections are completely supported by the Divine, our guides, angels and the Universe as long as we are lovingly open to reconnecting. I’m so grateful that Robin was open and willing to reconnect with me as I was with him. I hope you are experiencing beautiful reconnections with your deceased loved ones as well if that’s what you truly want.

Well, thank you so much for reading. I hope you will have some time to listen to Robin’s and the Bee Gees’ music in remembrance of him.

Due to all of the major life changes I am going through, I will write here when I can and when I feel inspired to. Until next time, take good care!

Love,

Afterlife Connections: A String of Synchronicities

Afterlife Connections: A String of Synchronicities

by | Jan 21, 2022 | Synchronicity

This post, “Afterlife Connections: A String of Synchronicities,” is inspired by the book, The Power of Flow: Practical Ways to Transform Your Life with Meaningful Coincidence by Charlene Belitz and Meg Lundstrom.

Synchronicity is a concept originally presented by Swiss psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung. Here is what he had to say about it:

I chose this term because the simultaneous occurrence of two meaningfully but not causally connected events seemed to me an essential criterion. I am therefore using the general concept of synchronicity in the special sense of a coincidence in time of two or more causally unrelated events which have the same or a similar meaning, in contrast to “synchronism,” which simply means the simultaneous occurrence of two events.

 

Synchronicity therefore means the simultaneous occurrence of a certain psychic state with one or more external events which appear as meaningful parallels to the momentary subjective state—and, in certain cases, vice versa. (1)

From my own personal experience, I can say that synchronicity can be awe-inspiring and life-changing. It can truly take you on a journey of higher consciousness. You can experience a profound sense of connectedness with loved ones in spirit through it.

A String of Synchronicities

Beginning in 2012, synchronicity has been one of the primary ways I connect with Robin’s spirit. The beautiful, momentous occasions of synchronicity was what initially informed me that I shared a soul connection with him. The soul connection, which to me is a connection of our energies, led to afterlife communications that continue to this day.

As I have experienced synchronicity over the years, I have noticed patterns that led me to study the phenomenon in more depth. According to Charlene Belitz and Meg Lundstrom, some of these patterns are called strings of synchronicities. In their book, The Power of Flow, they are defined in this way:

Synchronicities can happen one after the other, as though a point is being made over and over again…it’s the sequence of occurrences that make this a string of synchronicities…because the events occur one after the other, they resonate in your consciousness and have specific meaning to you in their totality. (2)

You can read chapter two from their book about strings of synchronicities and other patterns here.

In January, 2022, I noticed a string of synchronicities occurring. I have been watching the television show Queer Eye, Season 6 on Netflix. In this season, the Fab 5 are in Austin, TX.

As of this writing on January 18th, on three separate occasions, something I read about, said to, or wrote about Robin matched in a nearly identical way to something from this show. The three events of synchronicity that matched with Robin’s energy occurred in three different episodes. When the third synchronicity occurred, I felt it was time to pay attention and dig deeper into what was going on. That is when I discovered the concept of strings of synchronicities.

Now I would like to share the three events of synchronicity chronologically, which to me create an interesting string. I definitely felt in the flow! By sharing this, I hope to support you in recognizing strings of synchronicities when they happen in your life.

Synchronicity #1: Spokes and Wheels

During the evening of January 2, 2022, I sat down with my husband to watch an episode of Queer Eye called, “Showdown at the Broken Spoke.” The Broken Spoke is a honky-tonk in Austin, TX. The Fab 5 were there to work with one of the dance instructors.

After I watched the show, I had some things to do around the house. Then I sat down and thought about the show. I was recalling that the name of the bar was Broken Spoke.

After I was done thinking about the show, I had the thought that I would like to connect with Robin’s energy. The thought just popped into my head. So, I picked up a book that I flip through once in a while called Tragedy – The Ballad of the Bee Gees by Jeff Apter. This is a book I usually just flip through because I have already read a couple of books about the Bee Gees cover to cover. I have not read this book cover to cover as a result. I just like to browse through it occasionally.

So, I flipped through some pages and looked at Bee Gees’ family photos. Then I turned to another page and saw an amazing synchronicity, the first in this string of them. I saw a mention of “spoke in the wheel.” I was really surprised because I had just been thinking of the Broken Spoke bar. Here is the exact quote:

But then, while in Australia, Barry threw up yet another road-block. He cited songwriting credits as a spoke in the wheel of their creative relationship; even their solo efforts were credited to all three brothers… (3)

What really amazed me about this was that before picking up the book, I specifically thought that I wanted to connect with Robin’s energies. I connected with his energies through this very precise synchronicity. The exact nature of it was what I found so awe-inspiring and meaningful. It felt like he was with me spiritually through this. It definitely felt like an alignment and a oneness with his spirit. To me, the writings in books about the Bee Gees represent Robin’s energies because it’s about him.

It was also educational because I was not exactly sure what the expression “spoke in the wheel” meant. Therefore, I researched it. According to collinsdictionary.com, it is a mainly British expression that means to deliberately make it difficult for someone to do what they are planning to do. Barry was saying that issues with songwriting credits were causing difficulties in the creative relationship between the brothers.

I attempted to see if there was anything else I was supposed to learn from this synchronicity, but I could not come up with anything else. It seemed it was just what the Universal energies gave me that evening to connect with Robin’s spirit. We both had something to do with spokes.

I also thought that perhaps I was synchronizing with Robin and this episode of Queer Eye because it is filmed in Austin, TX which is where his eldest son has lived. This city would be significant to Robin for that reason.

Synchronicity #2: Preserving Roses

I keep an altar table for Robin as many of you know who have been reading this blog for a while. I like to offer his spirit beautiful flowers. On January 9th, I offered his spirit a bouquet of roses that was a combination of lavender, pink and white flowers. Here is a photo of them:

Afterlife Communications Robin Gibb Flowers

A day or so after I first bought the flowers, I sat at his altar table. I said out loud to his spirit that I loved these flowers so much that I planned to dry them to keep them. I mentioned to his spirit that you can hang the flowers upside down to dry them. Then I could keep them to remember how beautiful they were.

Then on January 14th, I watched an episode of Queer Eye called “A Night to Remember.” The Fab 5 were tasked with giving makeovers for students for their prom. It was meant to be very special for them as their experiences in school had been disrupted by the pandemic. It was a really nice episode that brought tears to my eyes.

At the end of the episode, Karamo gave the Queer Eye Hip Tip called “Make Your Memories Last Forever.” The tip was about how to preserve flowers after a special occasion! He said:

 

“Well, you hang them in a cool, dry spot for about two weeks, let the petals dry out, and then you spray hairspray on ‘em. This is going to keep the flowers for a very, very long time.”

I was so surprised! It was a direct match with what I had spoken out loud to Robin’s spirit about preserving the flowers arranged on his altar table! I was really grateful for the tip too because I didn’t know about using the hairspray. 🙂 The Universal energies came into alignment again. It was so nice that this was connected with something specifically to do with Robin and his altar space.

It was a very meaningful synchronicity because it has been years since I liked a bouquet of flowers so much that I wanted to dry them to preserve them. So, it was a perfect alignment with the show that it matched my plans for the flowers I offered Robin’s spirit.

After this, I thought about how this was the second synchronicity in 12 days that had to do with Robin and Queer Eye in such a specific way. It definitely got my attention. I felt God and Robin’s presence in action.

Synchronicity #3: 10-Year Death Anniversary

The next day, January 15th, I sat down to write a rough draft of this blog post. During my process of writing, I come up with different ideas as to how to begin a post. I go with whatever is on my mind at the time. So, this is what I wrote on that day:

As we transitioned into this new year of 2022, I have been reflecting upon how it has been almost 10 years since Robin passed away. I thought about how I have been communicating with him through dreams, synchronicity and telekinesis for almost 10 years as well. In some ways, I can’t believe that 10 years have already gone by. Sometimes it feels like a really long time that I have been communicating with him and at other times, it feels like it’s all new. Either way, having Robin’s energy in my life has meant so much in terms of my spiritual growth and evolution. I also know that Robin continues to evolve spiritually and I hope that our connection has supported his growth as well.

 

I am truly moved by the enduring nature of our connection. From my end, my connection to Robin’s spirit is one of love, commitment, devotion, loyalty, faithfulness, consistency and dedication. The physical world can easily pull us away from our bonds with our loved ones in spirit. But I decided years ago that I was not going to allow this world and the things of it to dilute the beauty of our connection and what we have experienced together.

 

My connection with Robin is a part of my heart. What I wrote is a reflection of just how powerful his spirit has been in my life and the positive impact he has had on me. When things happen, like what happened to me with Robin’s spirit after he died, which I have documented on this website, you are going to be dedicated and devoted to the spirit of the person. At least I am. That is not going to change for me. I will always be extremely grateful to him.

Later in the evening on the 15th, I watched another episode of Queer Eye called, “Craw-Zaddy.” In this episode, the Fab 5 helped to renovate a man’s restaurant that had fell into disarray in part due to the death of his wife. They had been very close in their marriage and he was still grieving.

He sat with Karamo to have a conversation about his deceased wife. That is when I noticed the synchronicity with the rough draft I wrote about Robin just hours earlier. He talked about how he didn’t have his partner and buddy. He said, regarding her death:

“It’s gonna be 10 years this July. And to some people, that’s a long time. To me, it was yesterday.”

10 years, a long time and it being new or like yesterday all matched. I was really stunned by this. At this point, I was feeling like there was something very meaningful happening in terms of Robin’s spirit and this show because this was two days in a row with the mirroring. This is why I called this a string of synchronicities.

In 2012, it was synchronicity like this that caused me to ask in prayer whether I shared a twin soul connection with him. The fact that it continues almost 10 years later is profound to me. It shows me our spirits are very strongly connected. It truly feels like he is with me spiritually through the synchronicity.

I am convinced that one of the main ways human souls connect is through synchronicity whether they are physically alive or physically deceased.

Synchronicity #4: Being in the Flow

On Sunday, January 16th, I spent some time reflecting on the series of synchronicities that I just shared. I was thinking about and revisiting the idea that maybe I was receiving so much synchronicity with Robin and the show Queer Eye because it was filmed in Austin, TX where his son lives.

Then I started thinking about how the synchronicity seems multi-layered due to the fact of connecting to the same show but with different themes. So, I started to research multi-layered synchronicity. I found this wonderful article by Chetna Jai called, “The Power of Synchronicity and How It Can Shape Our Lives.”

In her article, she cites the book, The Power of Flow and summarizes the patterns of synchronicity. She wrote about multi-layered clusters of synchronicity. She also mentioned single synchronicities and strings of synchronicity. I resonated with what she said about the strings.

After I read her article, I decided to research the book The Power of Flow to see if I could read any information about the patterns directly. This was when I received the next synchronicity in the string: the mention of Austin, TX in the introduction of the book! Here is the excerpt I read from the Google preview:

Awakening one morning in his sunny Austin bedroom, Caylor Wadlington heard himself saying out loud, “So I’m moving to Denver?” (4)

 

So, there is the mention of Austin, right after I was thinking about Austin. I was blown away and having so much fun with this string of synchronicities that just kept going! I thought that this was confirmation as to why I was syncing up with Robin and the Queer Eye show so much. This had additional meaning for me because I lived in Denver, CO for a total of 13 years of my life. It was where I first had visitations from Robin’s spirit. Thus, there are a lot of connections here.

I also thought that perhaps I’m getting the synchronicity with the show Queer Eye because it is an important show spiritually on many levels. The Fab 5 do so much life-changing, transformative work for the people they assist. The show educates, uplifts and encourages many who watch it.

Conclusion

I enjoyed sharing this string of synchronicities with you. I have been documenting synchronicities in my life connected to Robin since 2012. I believe that one of the main reasons I am experiencing this with his spirit is because as a member of my soul family, he is one of my guardian angels who watches over me. I also believe Robin is a guardian angel for numerous souls on earth. Of course he would be. He was a beautiful, loving light while he was incarnate and continues to be now that he is in spirit.

As such, things will happen that will keep us connected. Indeed, the synchronicities make me feel very much like his spirit is with me and watching over me. Sometimes they are so powerful, like the ones I mentioned in this post, it feels like he is walking side by side with me energetically. Maybe you feel the same way about your loved ones in spirit. I hope so! Their love for us continues on as does our love for them.

I believe we are surrounded by more loving guardian angels in the form of our deceased loved ones then we could ever imagine. I think they like to play with us and have fun too. I feel Robin’s playful, humorous energies in a lot of the synchronicities connected to him. I think that is the point. He has always brought so much love, joy, lightheartedness and happiness into my life and I am eternally grateful.

Thank you so much for reading! May 2022 be very blessed for you and your loved ones.

Fanny, Bee Gees, Keats and a Synchrony of Letters

Fanny, Bee Gees, Keats and a Synchrony of Letters

by | Dec 22, 2021 | Bee Gees Songs and Books, Synchronicity

This post, “Fanny, Bee Gees, Keats and a Synchrony of Letters” is written to honor two of my favorite things: The Bee Gees’ song “Fanny (Be Tender with My Love)” and poet John Keats’ love letters to Fanny Brawne. I also share how a letter I wrote to a dear pen pal synced up with one of Keats’ letters to Fanny. At the end of the post, I share a surprise synchronicity.

I write this post in honor of Robin and Maurice Gibb’s birthday on December 22, 2021 on which they would have been 72 years old.

For a long time, I have been wanting to write a post connecting the song “Fanny” with Keats’ love letters. It’s the perfect combination. So to begin, I would like to share a little background about John Keats and his relationship to Fanny Brawne.

About John Keats and Fanny Brawne

Here is a brief summary about John Keats from Wikipedia:

John Keats (31 October 1795 – 23 February 1821) was an English poet prominent in the second generation of Romantic poets, with Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley, although his poems had been published for only four years when he died of tuberculosis at the age of 25.[1] They were indifferently received, but his fame grew rapidly after his death.[2] By the end of the century he was placed in the canon of English literature and an inspiration for the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, strongly influencing many writers; the Encyclopædia Britannica called one ode “one of the final masterpieces”.

 

Jorge Luis Borges named his first encounter with Keats an experience he felt all his life.[3] Keats had a style “heavily loaded with sensualities”, notably in the series of odes. Typical of the Romantics, he underlined extreme emotion with natural imagery. Today his poems and letters remain among the most popular and analysed in English literature. Especially acclaimed are “Ode to a Nightingale”, “Ode on a Grecian Urn”, “Sleep and Poetry” and the sonnet “On First Looking into Chapman’s Homer”.  (1)

According to an introduction written by Jane Campion in the book So Bright and Delicate-Love Letters and Poems of John Keats to Fanny Brawne by John Keats (2), Keats and Brawne came to love each other while they were both living at Wentworth Place, Hampstead, London in 1819. It was originally two semi-detached houses. Fanny lived in the house right next to where Keats lived. Therefore, they were very close neighbors that could see each other all of the time.

Initially, Keats was not very attracted to Fanny. But that changed over time. Although he was not considered to be financially sound enough to marry Fanny, Keats still gave her his mother’s garnet ring which she wore indicating an informal engagement.

It was during the summer of 1819 when John Keats went away on a writing retreat to the Isle of Wight that his love letters to Fanny began. They bore witness to the all-consuming love he felt for her at times. Ultimately, their love affair was cut short by Keats’ grave illness with tuberculosis and death at a young age. Thankfully, we have his letters to reflect on and be inspired by.

I’m sure the Bee Gees’ song “Fanny” would have come in handy for John Keats to share with Fanny Brawne if it had been available to him!

A Synchrony of Letters

During this past fall, I had felt the inspiration to write this post, but I was having trouble coming up with an idea of what to say. It had been on my mind in November and I had browsed through the love letters of Keats to Brawne in the book So Bright and Delicate a few weeks earlier, but still nothing came to me.

On November 27th, I spent time writing a letter through email to my pen pal Autumn Imara, who shares a twin soul connection with Jimi Hendrix. It just so happens that November 27th was Jimi’s birthday. We were sharing ideas about the similarities between Native American and African spirituality. Autumn shared an enlightened perspective about Thanksgiving and her Native American ancestors, which you can read about here.

I wrote to Autumn about my perspective on spirituality and I shared my feelings. I quote exactly what I wrote to her below. Both African and Native American spirituality have strong connections with nature:

I resonate with any type of spirituality that loves and honors God’s creation of nature including trees, flowers, plants, rivers, streams, oceans, the wind, sunlight, moonlight and wildlife. It is so rich and life enhancing. Our ancestors had a true connection and deep relationship with these elements which I respect. I love connecting with the rhythms of nature and consider this also a part of my spirituality.

After I wrote Autumn this letter, I felt a strong pull to go back and read Keats’ book So Bright and Delicate. I kept thinking of what I could write for a blog post. I flipped through some pages of the book again. And then I came across an amazing synchronicity in one of Keats’ letters to Fanny that matched what I just wrote to Autumn a couple of hours earlier. This was a letter I did not remember reading and had not marked the page in any way

Here is the quote. The bold is mine for emphasis:

Do you hear the Thrush singing over the field? I think it is a sign of mild weather-so much better for me. Like all Sinners now I am ill I philosophize aye out of my attachment to everything, Trees, flowers, Thrushes, Spring, Summer, Claret, &c. &c. – aye everything but you. (3)

I noticed the matching of “trees, flowers” and how both Keats and I wrote about them first on our list. He mentioned the bird Thrush and I mentioned wildlife. I typed out more aspects of nature which could have been included in his etc. etc.

I felt very moved by how my email letter to Autumn synchronized with John Keats’ letter to Fanny Brawne. I felt so joyful that my guidance to read the book again lead to this meaningful synchronicity. It means even more that it is two letters synchronizing and makes the message more powerful. I think it’s fascinating how energies converge like this. When aspects of my life connect so well with something to do with Robin, like a blog post I’m thinking of writing, I feel a true attunement with his spirit.

When I begin to engage with Robin’s energies in this way, I feel like I enter into a field of magnetism that pulls me right into something that will match with him. I kept feeling guided to read Keats’ book after I wrote to Autumn and now I can see why. The energies were flowing in just the right way.

While I was in the process of doing research for this post on Saturday, December 18, 2021, I received another synchronicity which continued to signify this attunement and alignment.

A Dog Named Fanny

On December 18th, my husband watched the Marvel Comics movie “Black Widow.” I didn’t watch it because I was busy reading about Keats and Fanny.

After a while, I needed a break from reading. So, I sat down close to him to hang out with him. The movie was nearing the end, so I just watched along, kind of detached because I did not know what was going on. 🙂

My husband wanted to watch the end credits of the movie because they show a scene introducing you to another upcoming Marvel movie. Therefore, I continued to sit with him to watch it.

I watched as a woman got out of a truck and then called to her dog. To my great surprise, her dog’s name is Fanny! I looked at my husband and said, “I can’t believe that dog’s name is Fanny.” Here are some screenshots:

 

I shared with him that I had just been thinking about the Bee Gees’ song “Fanny” and reading Keats’ letters to Fanny Brawne all afternoon. Then, I sit down to hang out with him during the last few minutes of a movie and encounter a dog named Fanny. What are the chances of that? It was an amazing connection with Robin’s spirit and the “Fanny” theme.

The timing was impeccable. It was like it was all meant to go together. I feel so grateful for this.

This is what I mean when I say that when it comes to Robin, the Universe magnetically pulls together events in my life that match and have to do with him in some way. It has been happening for years. It is synchronicity like this that leads me to feel the twin soul and soul family connection with him the strongest.

Robin really loved dogs so it’s nice that the synchronicity showed up as a dog named Fanny! He would like that.

I share this story and others on this website because I know that many people experience similar uplifting synchronicity when it comes to twin soul, soul mate or soul family connections. Sometimes it helps to see that someone else is experiencing the same thing, especially when the person involved is deceased. So, I hope you can find something you can relate to in the stories I write about concerning Robin’s spirit. I find great joy in writing about them.

Thank you very much for reading! I truly appreciate it and hope you enjoyed this. Happy Holidays to you and your family and a very blessed New Year.

Happy Birthday to Robin and Maurice in Spirit. You are remembered, cared for and very loved.
