The Story of the White Feather

There are two reasons why I included a white feather in my logo for this website.

After a marriage of fifty years, the death of my husband was something from which I felt I would never Bounce Back.

I write about it in one of the stories in my book so I won’t go into detail here, but there is one piece of the story I really want you to know now.

On the day of Hubby’s death, my much loved sister got on a plane and flew to my side. While on the aircraft, she sat back, closed her eyes, thought of him and immediately saw, in her mind’s eye, a small, white feather floating in the air against the backdrop of a most exquisite blue sky.

There were currents of air moving the feather, gently tumbling and swaying, on an upward trajectory . It continued to dance in this way until she saw the figure of my husband appear. He reached out, carefully taking hold of the feather, brought it to his lips, tenderly kissed it and sent it back down toward me.

From that moment on, I constantly find little white feathers everywhere and I know he is with me, surrounding me with his love.

A few months later, during a visit with a Medium, he promptly “came through” with messages for me. One of them was an urgency for me to write this book. In life, he knew I had been planning this book for years. This message, while nudging me with a toe to the tush, was to tell me ‘it is very important that you do so’. The Medium told me he was being very emphatic!

The second reason is that, as a writer, I love the tools of the trade. Of course, feathers were once a very important tool for writing. The quill of the feather, carefully shaped and sharpened, became the nib, which when dipped into a pot of ink, became the pen to put to paper.

Now when you see my logo you will know the whole story behind it.

I have another sister who continually finds pennies sent from her late husband. He leaves them in the oddest places (kitchen counter, under her pillow, on the seat of her car, on the ground etc.) even a few years after the pennies have been taken out of circulation! They are her “Pennies From Heaven” telling her he loves her.

What items, sounds, dreams, touches, smells or intuitions do you find on a fairly constant basis that just may be messages for you?
