I love to write here on Paisley and Poppies for many reasons. I write to bless and honor Robin’s memory. I write to show gratitude, love and appreciation for who he is now as a Spirit person and how he has communicated with me. I appreciate him so much for trusting me with the information he has given me. And I write because it is healing and therapeutic, as I mentioned in my previous post.
Most importantly, I also write to spiritually benefit my readers. I love to share with you the truth of afterlife communication and reality of Robin’s life after death.
I don’t consider this work with Robin my “mission” per se. I have to admit that this is another concept that came up in the twin flame literature that I did not fully understand in the early days of my connection with him.
I used to talk with him about it and would say that I did not know what our mission was. I could not articulate one. I was privately documenting my experiences with him and had been thinking about writing a book at some point on afterlife communication.
But it was still too early for me in my process of connecting with Robin to share my experiences publicly. I was too scared to share anything, never mind write a book.
I also felt like my head was spinning with all of the new information being presented to me. First, I had to learn about and study Robin’s life because I knew absolutely nothing about him in 2012. Then I had to study afterlife communication, twin souls and soul families and find out what that was all about. For all intents and purposes, I was in school at the spiritual level while still having to live my everyday life. Robin Gibb was my professor. He still is.
Authentic Contribution to the World
Instead of using the word, “mission,” I like the words, “contribution” and “life’s work,” to describe what I’m doing here. I feel like the word “mission” is a bit grandiose in this context of writing a blog and it doesn’t really suit me.
I guess the word “mission” makes me feel like I have to fit into some pre-determined, pre-packaged, twin soul situation that I did not know anything about until reading about it beginning in 2012. But just reading about something does not make it my own personal, first-hand experience.
In some of the readings, it felt like others were telling me that I had a mission and what that mission was supposed to be. But, I have to be authentic to who I am and who I am with Robin, so I’m not going to use words to describe my experience if they don’t fit me.
When I first met Robin in spirit, I did not feel like I had a mission with him. I felt like I was going through an initiation of sorts, which I feel prepared me for what I’m doing now with this website. Suddenly, I had psychic and telepathic communication abilities that I was not aware of having before Robin’s passing.
If you like the word “mission,” I still respect that of course. Perhaps this word fits exactly what you are doing in the world with your twin, on your own or with someone else. I’m not saying there is anything wrong with calling what you are doing your mission. I think it’s a matter of preference that’s all. I don’t like feeling like something is being forced on me, so I choose what fits for me.
My writing here is a contribution I would like to make to the world. It is an aspect of my life’s work. I write from my own voice while I still have it to share. I want to contribute as much as I can while I am healthy and feeling good.
My life’s work includes lots of things that occur in my everyday life, such as speaking up for people with disabilities, being kind and grateful to the workers that help me, standing up to bullies, and walking in strength and love the moment I walk out the door into this world. I do the best I can.
Life’s work does not have to be only what we do to earn money.
One other thing I would like to mention, as far as twin flame missions go, is that it’s possible you do have a mission or contribution to make with your twin or soul mate. But, it may take some time for you to be aware of it or clearly define what it is. You may have to go through a long germination period before you are ready to put your mission into action. You may need some time to develop your voice and point of view.
It took me almost 7 years of communicating with Robin before I was ready to make my contribution publicly. But during those years of communicating with Robin privately, I was preparing for this experience I am now having with this website.
Back in 2013, if someone would have told me that by 2018, I would have a website sharing my afterlife stories with Robin, I would have been shocked and terrified! But, that’s how I have grown over the years. The fact that I have this website at all shows a lot of spiritual growth on my part. Having breast cancer gave me a kick in the butt too! From Robin’s perspective, getting me to finally do this was probably like pulling teeth! 🙂 But, writing here was really fun and rewarding once I got going and got over the initial jitters.
So, don’t worry if you don’t know what your mission is yet. Maybe you just need some additional time to germinate.
Sometimes I think the twin soul literature could be a little more helpful in presenting this information to people like me who were completely new to a twin soul connection and what it entails. New people, people just finding out about their twin soul connection, need to get used to that first. That’s a lot in and of itself. Then maybe they will be ready to make their contribution or carry out their mission if that is right for them.
I believe that by contributing my afterlife communication stories, I assist in bringing to you a portion of the spiritual love coming from Robin. He is still around. I hope that you get a sense of otherworldly love and beauty as you read the stories about synchronicity, dreams and telekinesis.
So now, I would like to share a brief story of synchronicity that I hope you will enjoy.
Gardening on the Road Less Traveled
On August 9th, my post called Thoughts on Twin Souls was published. It seems this current post is a bit of an extension of it.
I wrote this at the beginning of the post:
During my journey with Robin, I have never allowed other people or writers to tell me what the twin soul connection is for me personally. I have always had an independent streak and often choose to follow the road less traveled and figure things out for myself. So, I don’t allow others to define it for me.
Late in the evening on the same day, August 9th, I noticed a book on my shelf that I love, but had not read in a very long time. It is called Spiritual Gardening: Creating Sacred Space Outdoors by Peg Streep.
I thought it would be nice to read for Robin during tea time. There are chapters on different kinds of gardens such as tranquility, healing and Celtic gardens. I love this book so much because it ties into my past jobs as a gardener and my love for plants. Gardening for me was always a spiritual pastime and I have a very close relationship with flowers and trees. I feel these innocent beings contain the essence of God at the purest level.
I lay down on the soft rug I keep by Robin’s altar and looked at the book for a moment. Then I turned to the back cover. At that moment, I received such a surprise. There was a short review of the book that I previously had no remembrance of. The review was by M. Scott Peck, the author of the book, The Road Less Traveled! Here is a photo I took for you:
I was so amazed and surprised because there it was again: another alignment of a blog post with what was occurring in my life and more specifically, what I was sharing with Robin. On August 9th, I published a post mentioning the road less traveled and then later that night, I was guided by a beautiful Power to reach for this book I haven’t read in ages. This led me to see The Road Less Traveled in writing again synchronistically. The timing was perfect.
I read The Road Less Traveled a long time ago. I used to have a copy of it, but lost it along the way. Still, it has impacted my thinking over the years. That is why I chose to use the words of the title in my blog post.
Since I got this message, I took this as a sign that I would benefit from re-visiting this old friend again. My husband very kindly ordered a follow-up book called the Road Less Traveled and Beyond: Spiritual Growth in an Age of Anxiety. I just got it on August 19th, and I’m hoping there are words of wisdom to help me cope with the violence in the world.
This was a very beautiful twin soul synchronicity, mirroring back to me what I had just published that day on behalf of my connection with Robin. This gave me another nice moment in which to bond with him while offering tea.
Because of the synchronicity, I’m sure you can see why I love communicating with Robin so much. There are always little surprises around the corner that make me feel loved and that his presence is always with me.
Receiving this synchronicity also served as confirmation that I am on the right track with taking the road less traveled in my spiritual journey with Robin. The moment he came into my life as a loving shock wave, I was being led down this less traveled path. I was and am willing to go.
My connection with Robin has led me to go off the beaten path. It’s a little more solitary because I can’t talk to many people about it. But it is quiet and I can hear my own inner voice better.
I can hear better what God and Robin are trying to tell me. My communications with Robin are a major aspect of my spiritual practice and a huge catalyst for my spiritual growth. He opened my awareness to life beyond this world.
I have grown as a person in ways I never could have anticipated.
I hope you enjoyed this contribution and felt some of the sense of wonder I felt when I received this synchronicity.
Love,
