Holly Bird Surprise from the book “Ordinary Oneness”
When I sit on the royal blue sofa in my favorite place, stand up and look out the window, sipping a glass of iced tea, I think Another hot day, Even in Arizona, the weather is unbearable, we have spent more than a hundred days in a high temperature of more than 100 degrees, even the flowers in the garden, no matter how I care, water, and provide extra shade They all seem to be trying to survive. The edges of the leaves turn brown and the edges are clear. The color of each flower is not as bold as when it first bloomed in spring. Summer is here. In the desert, it means that the beauty is not so beautiful. Colorful heat is unbearable, not only for plants, but even for most people, especially me.
When I looked at the edge of the ice tea cup, I saw condensed water dripping from the corner of my eye. I thought it was ice tea, but it was not on the glass, but on the window: it’s raining, is it okay? Will it rain?Excitement spreads in my body because I can see more water droplets hitting the windows, pushing the dust on the windows from the dry and dusty summer to the bottom of the window sill, and then to my surprise, It finally rained, even the weatherman did not expect it, when I watched the rain heavier and heavier, my thoughts began to pass surprise In my life, some are wonderful, some are not so much. I quietly told myself to “keep positive and grateful.” This is the mantra I might say to myself a hundred times a day.
The rain is getting heavier and harder. I think of how much my grandchildren like to play in the rain. Just when I started to smile, a voice came from the corridor; “Grandma is raining, can I go out to play?” My face He smiled, “Of course, let’s go!” When he ran to the back door, I came down from the sofa and followed him. Sometimes I felt like a puppy following him, watching him with awe and love, every day I feel very happy to live with him, because we live in a multi-generational home, through choice, this is another surprise In my life, I never thought that I would live with my daughter, her boyfriend and my grandson… I chose, and when I looked at the smile on my grandson’s face, it sparkled and I My first thought was “grandma’s little angel”. I’m really happy. He is definitely one of my earth’s angels. He has helped to get through every day since he was born.
As my thoughts continued to linger, one thought; Angels always seemed to bring me back to my childhood, even when I was very young, I always felt the connection with our heavenly Father and the gifts of his angels, I can see Reaching and feeling them, when I try to share this with other people, I can hear the laughter and disbelief of family and friends, because I can hear them saying that she has always been a imaginative “storyteller” Although I feel sad and depressed, no one believes that I can feel the love and power of my angels, let them continue to believe that they will always be with me.
As I grew older, when I was a teenager, I learned that it’s better to leave my gift to myself instead of sharing it, because when I share, it feels like being rejected and called a liar, even if I Knowing that most people are in my family and friends circle, they believe in God, they don’t believe that I can make connections and feel the guidance of a gift, not only for me but for anyone who is open and willing to believe to receive these amazing News.
When I became an adult, I realized that I was losing my connection, not because it was not there, because I did not focus on it, my life and family always moved forward at such a fast speed, I forgot to slow down and feel My connection and gratitude for it.
I have been married, divorced, and have a single parent. Everyone’s life experience is always surprise, I don’t know what will happen, but when I was in my early forties, I met someone who would change my life forever. We fell in love, a love I had never felt before, and built a fun and The smiling mixed family, and the belief that I yearned for most of my life, he believed in me and my gift, which opened my heart to the gift, and the angel sang again and guided me through my days. I was very lucky.
Seventeen years later, I found myself writing a book, Shaken dream, the journey from wife to caregiver, My story about how our lives will change forever surprise We never anticipated the health problems, the family, and the angels who helped me through the difficulties. I will never be able to solve these problems myself.
Writing this book is a way to share my experience and lessons as a wife with others, not only to solve my health problems, but also to solve the health problems of the man I love, not life itself, when tears come from my face for six consecutive weeks When it was pouring up and down, I accepted my diary and took it out, revisited every moment and wrote it down. I knew in my heart that I wanted to help so many people, and thousands of people became carers of their loved ones. , I hope to help them!
One of the more difficult surprise In my life, although “Shaken Dream” has been on the bestseller list in five categories, it does not sell much, but in some categories, I only need to sell two or three books to be on the list. First. My publisher is very excited, I am very grateful, but I can see the number of books sold, e-books are better, but the number of pages read does not match the books I gave away for free, I hope to help others. I am not only because of the sales Surprised and surprised by my sense of failure, because I know in my heart that if I only help one person, I will be grateful, but when we devote ourselves to something, it’s hard to accept it without my hope So successful.
Two years later, when I was sitting in the rain watching the joy dancing on my grandson’s face, when I received a letter from the readers of my book thanking me for sharing a beautiful love story, I knew I was blessed And she needed it so desperately because it gave her insight to complete her journey, she was able to open her heart and let the angels help her. So, I know that no matter how disappointed I feel, even if I leave, my words will always be with anyone who may need guidance on their journey.
