It has been over a year since we launched Paisley and Poppies to celebrate afterlife communication, twin soul and soul family connections with Robin.
It has been a blessing and a joy to write and share stories that I hope you have enjoyed and benefited from.
I have another story of synchronicity and Robin’s presence with me to share with you.
On April 9th, I went to the doctor for my initial consultation regarding my upcoming colonoscopy. I briefly mentioned I would be doing this in this post.
I’m sharing this information with you here because I feel I have an important spiritual responsibility to bring awareness to colorectal care given what Robin went through. I would like to use this website as a tool for good purposes and to disseminate life-saving messages where I can.
This site is first and foremost about afterlife communication with Robin, and part of that is dealing with these human health issues that affect us all. I know he would want me to write about this.
I spoke with Robin about my appointment beforehand. I also prayed to God for love and support to be sent to me to help me get through this experience. I found it anxiety-provoking to go for a different type of cancer screening after already going through breast cancer. Maybe some of you can relate. But, it has to be done and I promised myself, my husband and Robin that I would go. I asked Robin for his support and love and to be with me to whatever extent possible.
Thumbs Up!
After my appointment, my husband Julian and I went for a walk. While walking down the sidewalk, past shops and restaurants, I saw a man wearing a t-shirt that had the words, “Thumbs Up” on it.
I distinctly felt Robin’s presence with me. As you may know, one of Robin’s mannerisms was giving the “thumbs up” sign, while in the public eye, on a regular basis. I felt like that was my sign that he was with me, giving me the “thumbs up” for going to my appointment.
We continued walking until we reached a library and spent about a ½ hour there. While I was there, I bought a book from their little bookstore.
After this, we went to an Italian restaurant. I had a yummy spinach and ricotta calzone. It was a treat and a break from my usual diet of organic salads, vegetable stews with turmeric, sardines and sprouted grains.
After we returned home, I still had the “thumbs up” t-shirt on my mind. So, I googled, Robin Gibb thumbs up. If you click on the link, you will see lots of evidence that Robin very often made this gesture.
I read this nice story (see Singapore, August 23, 2005) where a fan mentioned Robin’s “thumb up” sign during his Asian tour.
If you’re in love with Robin, you can find plenty of cute pictures of him over the years giving the thumbs up sign on Pinterest, lol!
The Rainbows
Then I found this heart-touching Daily Mail article by David Wigg (July 4, 2013) where Barry Gibb is quoted as saying (the emphasis in bold is mine):
‘The last time when I came over to see him, just before he died, he was unable to speak to me because he had an oxygen mask and was drifting in and out of consciousness. But I always got the familiar thumbs-up from him.’
I had never read this article before and I learned some painful details about the Bee Gees’ past that I didn’t know. For the rest of my life, I’ll always be learning something new about them it seems.
I continued to read the next paragraph and noticed this interesting and synchronistic commentary (emphasis mine):
During one visit, while Robin was in a coma, Barry sang a song that he had written for him called The End Of The Rainbow.
Why is this quote synchronistic? As I mentioned previously, I went to the library after my doctor’s appointment and purchased a book. The book that I bought is called, The Rainbow, by D.H. Lawrence.
I’m not that familiar with D.H. Lawrence’s work, but I liked the title. I flipped through a few pages before I bought it. It seemed like a romance novel and had beautiful imagery, so I bought it for 27 cents!
It was the first book by D.H. Lawrence that I have ever purchased. I was meant to buy this book on that day.
The purchase of this book synchronized with the title of Barry’s song mentioned in this article, which I connected with as a result of researching Robin’s “thumbs up.”
This cau
sed me to feel strongly connected to Robin. I feel his presence was with me throughout my meanderings that day. It eased the tension of facing my colonoscopy appointment. That is one of the main benefits of afterlife communication: it comforts us and reminds us that spiritually, we are not alone. Unseen loved ones are with us. They make their presence known and “visible” through these communications.
I also love how these events were connected. One thing led to another, in terms of reminders of Robin and synchronistic occurrences. The “rainbow synchronicity” actually reinforced for me that my sighting of the “thumbs up” t-shirt was a very strong sign of Robin’s presence with me.
If I hadn’t seen the t-shirt, I may not have received the rainbow synchronicity later that evening because I would not have been motivated to do any research on Robin’s thumbs up. I deeply love how these events are orchestrated, right down to the choice of buying my book.
This is how loved ones in spirit bring beauty into our lives. Events such as these can occur between you and your loved one in spirit who has your best interests at heart.
Share from the Heart
Speaking of heart, I would like to close this post with words from The Book of Theanna: In the Lands that Follow Death by Ellias and Theanna Lonsdale. The twin soul authors bring to the forefront a point I would like to make:
What we seek in the beyond-the-body state is to share on heart levels.
This is what the synchronicities and communications between Robin and me are showing: a desire to share on heart levels. His spirit showed up in my life on a most anxious day to reassure me and get my mind off of my problems. I feel the synchronicities are from the beautiful heart of Robin, in the form of a “thumbs up” t-shirt, a book and a song with “rainbow” in the title.
Sharing at heart levels is spirit communication at its best. It’s what I’ve grown accustomed to with Robin. He loves to use things going on in my life that are a clear reference to who he was as a person and one that I could not possibly overlook. I share at heart levels with him by including him in my life and being truthful about what is in my heart, whether I’m happy or downcast.
Through my blog posts, I have been sharing on heart levels with you, my readers. I don’t want to wait until I’m in my beyond-the-body state to do that. We can do this now. It matters just as much now as it does after we pass.
During the past year, I’ve also done my best to show you the loving heart of Robin Gibb that lives on in spirit. It is my great wish that I have been successful.
I hope you will come back and visit again soon. Thank you for reading!
