Signs, signs, everywhere there’s a sign!

Ever notice signs? You’re walking along and a bird flies right at you. Or you wake up at the exact same time day after day for a week. Or everywhere you turn, a word keeps appearing. Coincidence?

That’s actually the Universe trying to get your attention. And it can be for a variety of reasons. When you are open to them - the messages can be astounding!

This past week is a great example of how signs work for me. It was full of indications that were being sent by two of my dogs in-spirit - India and Bono. They both had messages for me and it took me a little bit of time to figure it all out. As a fan of Nancy Drew, it was fun to realize I was getting clues and then using my intuitive skills to decipher them.

The first message came from Bono via Facebook Memories. I find this is to be one of the easiest and most prolific ways for the Universe, and my dogs, to alert me something needs to be discussed or examined. The first memory was a picture I had taken of Bono trying to interrupt my computer work by looking cute and asking for attention. The moment I saw that memory pop up on my screen (I was in the process of helping a marketing client place some Facebook ads), my dog, Lukas, copped the same position, behavior and attitude that I remember from that day with Bono.

Whoa!

I stopped working and acknowledged Bono by thanking him for the message (it made me giggle too). I then acknowledged Lukas for the same message and for working so well with Bono. I reached over and gave Lukas my full attention and a belly rub. As I did so, I noticed my shoulders release and relax. I had no idea my stress levels were rising - but my dogs on both sides of the rainbow bridge did and wanted me to do something about it.

Amazing, right? It gets better!

Two days later, my husband and I were going through our basement looking at all the things we can donate and recycle. My husband is an artist and he came across this piece he did years ago that featured our in-body pack at that time - India, Bono and Noah. The piece is not a favorite of his, but it is of mine. It says, across a blended image of the three pups, “In Dog We Trust.” I am so happy whenever I am near it. And my husband doesn’t want it any longer. I’ve fought him on it for years - which is why it is in the basement. As he pulled it out, again, to put it in the donate pile, I started to say something - again. But I had an instant knowing to just be quiet and let “others” take over. What will be, will be, I heard my guides say. I thought, “Okay. It’s a material thing and ultimately not crucial to our life. I surrender.”

I migrated back upstairs and to my computer to do a little work - again on Facebook. And what pops up as my memory but the image featured below. And at that moment, my husband comes upstairs and says “you know what? I’ve been thinking. I’m not going to get rid of that piece. I’m keeping it.” I smiled, looked at my Facebook memory and was flooded with love from India and Bono. I heard them say “See? We’ve got you covered.”

Whoa.

And the last ah-ha came when yet another memory with Bono appeared the very next day. Just a selfie of Bono and myself, happy that we were together in that moment. That memory appeared on the anniversary of Bono’s “found-day.” And the image and conversation around the “In Dog We Trust” print? That happened on the anniversary of India’s passing 4 years ago.

Whoa, indeed.

“In Dog We Trust.” Dang, pups, you can say that again!!!
