I wrote two blog pieces in August, shortly before and immediately after the passing of my beloved Grandfather, Calvin J. Goodman. Rarely a day has gone by since then that I have not thought of Grandpa and in my inimitable fashion, I often ask for a sign so I know he is with me. Today I received one. A new friend and inspirational lady in her own right, Wendy Snyder, sent me this link with a simple statement:
“I think this is something you will treasure reading on this 11.11.11”
Even before I clicked on the link, I felt a familiar tingle. This “sensation” is what I experience when I know I am in for something spiritually powerful and over the years I have come to trust this feeling. Whether you believe this day is just cool in a uniquely binary sense or magical in other ways, seeing this post today was a clear sign that Grandpa is sending me a message – letting me know he is watching over me, as always. What a wonderful piece written about a shining light, not just in the art world, but in mine as well. May his memory eternally be for a blessing.
It is a special day and have had several wow and awe moments. I know those we loved who have gone on still speak to us and watch over us! May your memories be a blessing and your love for your Grandpa forever be a blessing and honor to him.
Thank you, Jenn. I hope everyone received a “wow” and “awe” moment today and hopefully, they were paying enough attention to catch them.
In the words of Beth Shafer, “A miracle happened today, did I pause enough to make me say HMMM to make me go AHH to make me go OH OH thank G-d I am alive!”
Love this quote! My blog this week starts with another goodie!
