It all started with this image and quote…
For quite some time I have been compiling and purchasing stock photo images. I have lovingly been creating my own quotes and the words of wisdom from others on them. This is a joy for me to do, I LOVE it!
I receive daily emails from a dear friend Kimi, with quotes. These always bring me a divine message, and inspire me on so many levels. Thank YOU Kimi. Her emails have also inspired me to do something I have wanted to do for quite some time. Send a Daily Inspiration in Your Inbox.
Now because I am a “Philanthropic Entrepreneurial Advocate” (best way for me to describe myself) I have cancelled my e-marketing subscription as it costs money. Finally I have learned that there are limits when there is no cashflow, so time to be creative.
I went through my large database of friends, family, acquaintances, and past co-workers and compiled a distribution list called: LOVE IN YOUR INBOX
Now, I knew there would be “unsubscribe” responses, and I had prepared myself for that. What I wasn’t prepared for is a message, and this is literally all there was – nothing else, from someone I cherish:
“I receive several inspirations a day that I am very happy with, and help inspire me to get me through my day. You are not there yet.”
I know you might be reading this. I replied with a standard “Unsubscribe message” that I created, makes it easier to acknowledge receipt and say thank you. However, what proceeded to occur for me, at the time was painful and still is, however now I am soooooo grateful to you for the lessons that I have been gifted with this afternoon. So Thank YOU with love and light. And don’t worry, I will not mention your name to anyone, this is between you and me. Neil wanted to know who it was, and much to his frustration I didn’t even tell him.
I drove up to the local store, and I bought a packet of cigarettes. I drove down by the lake I smoked one, crying, releasing the hurt and filled with frustration and anger that I failed. I called my best friend Farhana, leaving her a mixed message – sharing such love and pride on her interview today with Dr John Demartini for the Masters Gathering, and then – I burst into tears, telling her I bought a packet of cigarettes. Just “saying” it on the message helped, knowing she is there listening and loving me.
I crumpled the pack, jumped out and put them in the garbage. At this point I decided I would walk and be with nature.
As I walked around the corner, two beautiful, graceful, peaceful deer were standing there. I STOPPED! Mesmerized by their beauty and BEing. Thankfully I had my iPhone with me and captured some photos. They didn’t seem to mind me standing there, close, yet a safe distance. I kept going and turned a corner, and there were two more deer. Once again, peacefully nourishing their bodies with the shrubs (much to the locals dismay LOL) and trees.
I walked back to the truck, and drove back to our cottage. As I got out of the truck I heard rustling in the bushes by the creek. And there, were two more deer. I knew immediately the phone call I needed to make.
“Sus, I just saw six deer, and I know there is a message… what is it?”
Susanne Alexander-Heaton is a treasured friend. And she was with me the last time I saw Sandra two days before she passed away. The magical faery, dressed up in her Faery costume and sprinkled her faery dust and magic on Sandra, reading her parts of her book. This is a magical moment in time that I will be forever grateful for.
I had goosebumps (aka angel bumps..to me…faery bumps!!) when I looked at the Deer meaning again. It is card number “4″ which is what time you were up too..not to mention the whole computer message to quit!!! There are absolutely NO coincidences…only normalicies.
By the way the other meaning for number “4″ is Stability and Process. In the positive it prepares well and progresses step-by-step; patiently follows through; balances logic and emotion. In the negative, it wants it all now, skips steps, is ambitious, impatient, confused, and lacks stability or follow-through! Pretty powerful stuff.
I have attached both Deer and Hummingbird for you to read through. Thank you for being so willing to let nature give you the signs that you need to hear. It takes a special person to be open to this (yes, I say this with a tear or two).
The fact that you saw six deer is also very significant as I indicated. Six is the number of vision and acceptance. In the positive, you see the bigger picture, forgive and are patient, do excellent work without falling into perfectionism, and accept self and others. In the negative the six represents being hypercritical, judging self and others against perfectionistic standards, and getting lost in petty details.
I know that the e-mail you received today hurt deeply. Nature is showing you that there is a much higher force at work here, if you are willing to listen. Do not take this personally. What this person said to you is truly a gift…to realize that you do not need others approval for who you are and what it is that you do. This is HUGE stuff Lee. I am so proud of you for taking the time out for YOU. You are needed here on this earth to help make the ripple effects and changes that you are meant to make.
Please let me know if you receive any further signs, either from your “tree time” that I mentioned you take, or on your drive home. Spirit sends us so many messages, if we are willing to observe and do the work.
Sending you hugs from my heart and soul with tons of faery sprinklings,
Sus
OMG just as I posted this a tweet notification just popped up…
” @artrubicon: sprinkling luv & fairy dust on special people @SimpLee_Serene @aj_proc @edmfilmfest @artCulurePeace @DamianPetti @MaliDocktor”
Okay sidetracked for a moment, to give thanks to yet another divine message.
And then this beautiful email from my treasured friend Kari Dunlop, who I am currently working with for a Glinda Girls STORY – MY Story, lovingly put together by Kari and her incredible team.
And wrt to your friend…as Demartini would say, you can’t have one side of a magnet, so somewhere there is someone tremendously inspired by your email
He would also say that where there is challenge there is an equal amount of support, the universe is always in balance…there are supernovas and black holes, creation and destruction… so yeah you for recognizing it!! He’d also get you to ask yourself what the benefit of that happening is and what the drawback would be if it didn’t happen.
Can’t wait to read about the deer in your blog!
Big love!

The morale of this story thanks to a great image I found on Facebook is this: you never know how your actions or words may impact another person. Your TALENT is your words, is YOU! Take a moment, STOP and reflect – am I coming from a place of love, and how may the recipient receive this?
Hugs & Love
Lee xoxoxox
